Rebirth release date thread - Part 3

Because there's FAR more of them, that's why.

Or because they are not as much similar?

And, you know, RPG is also a big genre, if you don't want to see all the sub-genres. Space sims are also have sub-genres - space shooters or action space sims (X-Wing, Tee-fighter, SSZ), space flight simulators (Orbiter), elite-like space sims (X-series, Freelancer, all Elites obviously, etc) and sandbox space sims (which are not failing into elite-like space sims for some reason, like Terminus or I-War). And yes, MMO space sim is also a sub-genre.

Are SC and X:R in same sub-genre? We don't know. Theoretically both are elite-like space sims, but you can't say for sure until release.

Instead of stating the release date as anyone else, my qualified guess is that X-Rebirth will be released when we are in the 5th incarnation of the release thread.

Only +/- 300 pages left, wohoo!

Besides, these threads are kinda fun. Since hearsay, anedoctal evidence and speculation are the highest forms of proofs, I'm basing my opinion on Rebirth from here.

Q2 2014!

Did anything happen, or false alarm once again?
What are your sources?

Here it was said that yes there would be an agent, that no they didnt have a schedule for them and that they had no idea if that one representative would show or not show anything about anything, X:R included.

I motion to forbid all X-Rebirth Release date threads from the forums seeing as they don't produce any legitimate information about the release date.

I think moderators should have access to a pinned/locked thread which they can update with actual information about the game. Nothing is being accomplished here.

@ Promethium: Why would you think moderators have access to 'actual information about the game' that other players and readers here do not? Only the Devs and Testers here know things like that and, for various well-reported reasons, they are not saying anything more than what CBJ has repeatedly already said.

I don't. The moderators would just make a public information thread that consolidated all the information.

New X-Rebirth video? Post it in the thread. New news on the release? Post it in the thread.

Things of that nature. I'm not suggesting that you have the inside scoop, I'm saying that we can avoid the complaining and repetitive questions by creating a thread with all the answers there are to be had.

And you really think that would solve the problems? On this forum?? HAH!!

"I'm saying that we can avoid the complaining and repetitive questions ..."

Sorry, but I do admire your faith. We cannot get most players to read the Stickies, FAQs or Announcements even now. If you want the latest genuine info, just bookmark CBJ's latest post or posts on the topic, keep an eye on the Announcements, and maybe watch the Egosoft Twitter.

It was worth a try.

Turn your monitor inside out... it says "This is not from Rebirth"

I think it was a joke.

I still want to know what ship it was =P Looks a little like a Negh'var class Klingon ship.

I believe that is a teladi-designed space arcology. The teladi philosophy of "Sspare all expensssse" can be seen from the habitation area being fabricated from a decommissioned Albatros Mk1.

As for the ship, that is the sister ship of the AP Gunner, which ran into the Borg.

Fallent · Post by **Fallent** » Tue, 18. Jun 13, 02:49

I realise it's not from Rebirth.... I was asking what ship it is, same as Sibilantae. It has that sexy Klingon Warship look to it.

If only the Split or Borons ships looked like that imo....

dougeye · Post by **dougeye** » Tue, 18. Jun 13, 08:45

lol yes It was meant as a joke, I shouldn't have put the backwards writing it would have worked better

the image and models within (apart from the googled background) are all of my own design, the green on the ship is actually the back end and I wasn't going for Klingon but I can see what you mean. Just happen to be finishing my uni finals and this scene is one of many so I thought id upload it and see if I can cause any panic and confusion as everyone seems to be clenching their buttocks in anticipation for the next peek at X Rebirth ( this image is not meant for a project related to X Rebirth, it is for a game concept called Deliverance)

it still needs work but deadline is a looming so had to down tools and render out

anyways back on topic......

this is discraceful this game should already be released grrrrrrr

(is that on topic?)
