I wouldn't read too much into that 'one' cockpit sentence. It sounds to me like he doesn't want to talk about the cockpit, but because someone posted a picture of one (thank you Maxxler), he has to say something. I think that's why he said "Very soon we will show more, but yes, let’s say there will be one cockpit and this is going to be pretty great ...."

As far as the 'menu' goes, I'm thinking maybe it'll be something like Silent Hunter V. In SH V you can walk around the sub and interact with some of the crew, ask them questions and get a little of their background story. It's a great idea in principle, but unless Ego adds allot of interaction options, I'm worried it'll get boring real fast.

Would it be okay to copy 'n paste for my site?

Sure, I actually wanted to send you a pn but somehow it didn't work.

@Maxxler you're welcome, and thanks again for the videos, especially the new one.

Damn that Bernd and his vague answers. He's successfully managed to tell us almost nothing new about the game.

Have you seen the latest video? I don't think it is translated yet. It is ten minutes long and gives a lot of answers.
@Maxxler. Are you working on a translation?

What video is that ? I can only find the 5 min one.

Okey, cockpit would be nice for a small ship. but for a bigger ship, we need a control room where we can interact with our "main" crew.

i really do hope that in a big ship like M0 class, we will have the control room where we can coordinate attack or our strategy.

anyway.. i am looking forward to X-Rebirth.

i just bought new computer case for it

Maybe it makes sense to look through the German forum and click on every link you find

part 2 thanks to Maxxler

Shiny, just need a translation for those of us that cant speak German now. (I can barely speak English let alone another language

)

One cockpit? So could that mean remotely operated ships? Perhaps you really can walk around on stations and you are at a terminal most of the time.

Killjaeden · Post by **Killjaeden** » Sun, 1. May 11, 21:38

some infos from vid:

-universe will be bigger (km wise) with lone hidden places and stuff to find (unlike in previous X)

-ships can have external upgrades/components that are destroyable

-story wise: An event caused the shutdown of quite a few gates, so many were isolated. The games starts about 10 years or so after that event in one collony. (sounds like there is only one gamestart then)

- the menu thingy again: instead of having a textside with several options you have a subordinate who you can talk to (applies to stations as well),

- you still can build stations (for those expecting a freelancer^^)

a split second in that video were you appear to be walking around inside a glass corridor.....

One gamestart is quite obvious, given that the game seems to be story-focused quite a bit, and has stuff like 'unlikely female companion' listed already - it does imply a much more focused narrative than in X3. Maybe there is one gamestart with some difficulty tweaks, like in X2 though.

Those look like complex tubes.

Or some other kind of station superstructure.

Look at the video again. At 0:22 you see very similar structures at the bottom of the screen. It's a ship flying just above a station. I'd say the shapes in that blurry screenshot of yours are the same station from 0:22, just viewed from further inside its structure.

I'd draw more attention to how the AI handles flight. There are only split-second shots, but if you look closely they maneuver quite differently from how they did in previous games. Not only considering collisions, but even in how they turn.

Guess you got something like this, link I actually found a long time ago on one of the forums

Considering the date for the game to beout, I prefer not to think too much about it and simply watch every possible news about it to keep a hold on my patience, the end of the year is still a long time away.

Instead I find it better to complete any game on stand by, free space in social life for the end of the year to go on a pilgimmage once the X universe comes back.

Here are some very interesting shots.
