My impression from game so far.
Lets start off with UI from begining of the game you are not able to see writting correctly to navigate through menu settings to much transparancy, there is no back button so you left on your own to figure out that you need to press esc buttun every time, if you wanna close window or go back to previous.
Second Off all CAMERA SYSTEM IS GONE the only camera you get is your cockpit view you are not able to appreciate the beauty of space nor see outside of your ship nor take epic pictures from side while you firing your guns... That was one of the best parts of old series.
Third off All charcter design feels like it has been from half life original game. Seriously I know egosoft was never known for its charcter design but even 3rd year old studen from 3d art can design better stuff, jesus just employ someone from devian art so much talent there. I do realise poly count matters but thats where optimisation comes.
Fourth off all charcter lip sync is way off its like staring at silent miner that is trying to explain stuff to you without saying anything and just wawing your hands.
Character voice is another problem you either have it or you dont. It is great for first 5 minutes but then you realise that half stuff you have to read and then suddenly from nowhere your charcter starts speaking...
This brings to optimisation even with super rig you will not be running this game at full fps. (I am currently testing some fix for it).
Alt tabing from fullscreen either a crashes game or blocks all your in game controls so all you able to do is steer your ship left right up or down and not able to access any other buttons or menus
Added( you are not able to key bind certain keys for example shift button)
Added ( Lot of bugs accessing menu which can cause game to crash for example accessing you galaxy map and then randomly pressing some buttons can cause your game crash)
Space looks nice stations look amaizing, new navigation system is super great!
-------------------------------
Cant review gameplay till I have played more but lot of stuff feels like it was dumb down so far... Also what happen to difficulty selection???
Final thoughts for now

I forgot to mention also there is no way to delete your save because there is no delete button ^^.
To be honest all my experience been ruined and I am sad that today I didnt see the genre to take stronger foothold instead it was day when it broke again. I dont wanna ruin this any further so I am stopping play till egosoft actualy fixes game breaking bugs otherwise I will never play this again

I like the game but it seems like it still needs a bunch of work..
My first impressions:
While in ship/space, need Freelook to improve situational awareness and to admire the scenery. I don't mind the cockpit, but really if your going to cut down our vision with it you should at least allow us to swivel our head left, right, up, down, and any combination of this. Take a look at ArmA's free look for simplicity and functionality, or any serious flicght simulation. Hell even what was in X3 would be better than nothing at all.
Some times I click to open zone or sector map I turn to face Yisha but no maps open. I have to hit escape to swivel back arround forward.
No targeting controls. Having to fumble arround clicking on things with my mouse during combat is not better than before.
Yisha's hands clip through her controls.
Yisha seems to randomly yell out "Shut up Betty!" WTF?
If Yisha is an Engineer/Tech why cant she fix combat damage at least light damage?
NPC's in stations.. Why does just about everyone look like they are 70+ years old?
NPC's head gear clipping into their heads.
Dialog for NPC's is horrible and very repetitive.
Animations for NPC's very stiff and jerky.
You NPC's garb looks riddiculous.
Many textures look low res.
Need to be able to disable or make smaller the spacebar message while in flight.
