I mean usually these topics say "you will hear any news here first from us" but they never do its either some website with a interview or some fan went to a convention and found the info and post it here instead of "official" channels reporting it instead.
Bernd says he can't tell us. I'm satisfied with that; in my time here I've come to believe that Bernd doesn't like letting people down. Telling us things that might not make it into the final game I think would be a bad thing (like promising a kid a PS3 for their birthday and giving them a drawing of one on an etchasketch.)
Knowing ES they won't release any solid details until the game goes gold, then there will be a new topic called "X-Rebirth goes Gold" and they'll tell us stuff we want to know then.
Point was tho that at the convention he told ppl stuff but didnt post it on the games forums he just left it to the fan that was there with a vid camera. I mean once info is public why didnt he come on forum and share it as the NDA is only for stuff that isnt public. He made stuff public but didnt share on the main site or their forums is what im getting at.

A good point. I had not considered it that way.
Edit: It could be that, being the clever little deviles we are, we could have found things out from his original film clips that we can't from the second hand video. Thanks to Maxxler for sharing them!
I wonder if the big ships (M1/M2) fit in the trade lanes. I hope not: I want to put my ship at a 90 degree angle in the trade lane and squash all those irritating business competitors.
Burn the land, boil the sea,
you can't take X from me...
I hope the economy is more "indepth", like missile factories actually needing things such as computer components and warheads <_<
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

speaking of which, I'd really like to see proper capital ship animation for damages and explosion instead of the "oh I'm dead so I'll stop right there and be replaced with some debris".
starfleet command 3 did it quite nicely. even it if it was a bad game overall (/me ducks and cover)

Because he knew Mr. Fan would come and put it on the forum anyway? Why spend time to duplicate what someone else will do for you?

Could have translated the german part to what he was meaning better perhaps? I mean the guys did a ok job but the translators had trouble understand or hearing some things.

Why? You attended the announced convention, and like a loyal fan and supporter of the X-community you posted what you saw. We are very grateful to you!

Don't feel like a dumbass dude... your pictures and video/sound recordings have given us more information about the development process of this game than any other source. Sharing that with us is GREATLY appreciated. You are the man.
Those of us on the other side of the "Big Pond" are also Very Grateful for the Time and Effort put into this, for the X-Community.
Thanx for all you have done...
