possible new games

[XXXX21]

If Egosoft ever decides to make another game, it wouldn't be bad if we could finally land
on planets, I know it's not the "BRAND" of the X series....!, but in this case it would be
a "Special" version, because I appreciate the ["Procedural"] side and the "offline" side of X... and No Man's Sky!! But on the other hand I absolutely don't appreciate the childish graphics of No Man's Sky!!
From the first minutes of the game it feels like a cartoon for kids... This destroys the "SUSPENSE" of a game of this type... anyway!

PS: My favorite version of X..., was "X²: THE THREAT"..,

X3: where have the cockpits gone?
X4: Lack of fluidity etc..........!!

Will your discord ever be reactivated??

Not sure what you're referring to here. Our Discord is active and quite busy.

Planetary landings are a catch 22.

The only viable pipeline to develop meaningful content would be 2D assets like in Starsector. But since Rebirth the X-series went full-on 3D spacelegs. I think the series would benefit greatly from blending that with 2D art for characters and places like bars or station interiors.

But it would clearly cement the X series as an AA game.
Since 2013 Egosoft wants to ascend into the AAA market.
They don’t have the resources for AAA planetary landings.

No thank you to planetary activity.

I'd like more planetary interactions in an abstract sort of way, kind of like terraforming. Growing planetary population via improvements, maybe collecting taxes, maybe trade between space and planetary surfaces via trade stations. But I don't care about walking around on the planet surface like Star Citizen.

Once you go down the path of making walkable planetary surfaces and focussing on fps gameplay, you drift further from what I like about the X series. It takes a massive amount of work to do it right, and the effort would be better spent improving upon what makes X4 great.

Idea of terraforming is already great, and expanding it as more interaction with planets seems not that bad and difficult. I can even see the process of "conquering" of planets, by sending "terraforming ships" (quotes, because those will be more like troop ships)
