Yes, it does look like 3 ships.

Now we need hi-rez pictures, like 4k would be nice
Zoon in it looks like too big guns or torpedo tubes. both sides are alike and the middle is the bridge?
Pretty sure it's 2 turrets with a ship in between them. And we've already seen more detailed pictures of the Osprey showing a single S-sized docking port.

(please excuse my grammer it sucks) The rendering isnt so hot when you magnify up although i think you may actualy be right and i was a tad carried away

although i also notice that the platform that the ship is sat on looks alot like (excuse me for swearing

) the ones that elevate you in Elite could we infact be able to dock and undock in the same kind of way? imagine docking being pulled into this ship your about to take controll of....

It seems like the game isn't using any anti-aliasing in the screenshots, thus the strongly pixelated edges.

Also can I mention that the Nova is probably my favorite looking dogfighter so far? Gives me that ol' school vibe.

Actually, now that you mention it, the new Nova has a lot of similar features to the old X-shuttle. It's got the big side-mounted engines, the ventrally-angled fins in the back... interesting.

And in general, I'm digging how this generation of ships just looks dependable and solid and straightforward, and not nearly as spindly and complicated as what we had in X3. (except the Xenon, and they don't count because they're supposed to be scary bug machines. They're allowed to be spindly and complicated. ^^)

This looks more like "faction color stripes" from Homeworld - so you won't be able to hange the color of the hull, but probably will be able to change the stripe color.
Alternatively, the stripe color will automatically change when ship change owner/boarded.

I mean, it might be set up like faction color stripes, but that doesn't necessarily have to work like that.

The Vitruvian Man logo is usually used on the player ship in promotional image, so it seems to indicate that the player will have access to X3-like spray shop features.

Emphasis on seems to indicate.

Wouldn't get Ur hopes up. Could just be the personal avatar image you could do since xbtf as in have Ur own badge on all of your ships.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii see what you did there...

So something occurs to me - I guess not ALL stations are modular? Cuz it looks like *Trading Stations* (like this Teladi one, presumably), are, uh... unibody, I guess. Unless a ring like this can be added to a modular station.

If trading stations are their own beast, what purpose do they serve to the owner? Is it like the X trilogy where they were a sort of proxy for the sector's planetary inhabitants and their resource requirements?

Whatever the case, that's a nice looking station ^^

Looks similar to something I've seen before ... could this be evidence of convergent development?

Don't confuse the X3 style paint shop with the X-BtF - X2 style player logos.

Yeah, the differing stripes colour are a good indication for such feature, but:
a, it could be just the Hatikvah's Free League's standard colour (so that it's not a player enabled feature, but preset)
b, I think I read somewhere where a dev stated that paint jobs won't be a thing.

You might even say...evidence of alien tech incorporation

Yeah but we've seen red stripes on Argon Government ships and Vitruvian Man ships, and honestly I can't see them doing the faction stripes thing when they have the logos.

As for B... well, citation needed?

Im wondering, now with the new universe design, will we be able to orbit those planets or are they still just backdrop?

I wonder who presents the next image. Santi? Nanook? Alan Phipps?

Either way I like that you took the XR station into X Rebirth because it looks awesome. At least from distance that is, in XR

As it looks like in XR, and from what is told in the X4 trailer about dev of those, I think they'll only be background objects…
