The most important thing for you in an X game

[Nort The Fragrent]

Just have to pop this in for those that did not discover this in the older game, (X-ReunionTC) Mining! Can take a while, with not a huge reward. That is if you do it the normal expected way.
I had the largest ship available, with full shielding and scoops open. Set the speed to almost stopped. ( I think it was 3 to 5 ) Then drove straight through the rock. Not only was this fun as the ship shuddered under the impact's, but the scoops collected massive amounts of ore in no time. The graphics almost had a melt down with explosions, but it was such fun to do.

Now having the opportunity to try new ways of doing things, is essential to give a game longevity, fun and the desire to keep playing.

If you still have X Reunion TC give this a go, it is fun.

@ Nort: "(X-ReunionTC)" Do you mean in X3:R or in X3:TC/AP? I think those games versions have greatly different collection and shield mechanics.

This XRunion TC was from the super box , other than that I am not sure exactly the version. It was a while ago and I no longer have the game, ( huff ) . I tried Rebirth but was immensely disappointed with it, so Burnt the disk. I am so hoping X4 is more like Xreunion, as I enjoyed playing that. If it's just a revamp of the walking around rebirth, then it will be a waste of time.

I know this is an old post and I will probably get shunned for a "necro" post but so Be it.
Now that X4 has been released it seems that Egosoft DID NOT listen to everyone.
We did not get the Steering option that was available in pre XR games. In fact
we were limited even more. We cant even map our Right mouse button for primary
fire anymore and Classic bore-sight fire/ steering is limited to the keyboard.
I am very discouraged by this and am holding off playing so I don't get my
hour in so I can get a refund if this does not change.
Come on Egosoft every other X game prior to XR had this option. Why remove it,
how hard could it be to incorporate it in to an option.
The controls that exist in this game are exactly why I do not own any other "space sims"
that are out there at this time. Yes I do Have SC but I highly regret that purchase as well.
This game looks great I want to keep it. Please reinstate the bore-sight/steering options found in X2-X3 Albion Prelude
