I agree. I think at E3 more information's will be released.
And by the way, even the plot was better in X2, there were characters that had different opinions (Saya <> Brad) and you went to the offices of the other characters (Ban Dannas office on Argon One). That was a part that made gameplay fun. But since X2 the X-series took a wrong turn.
Let's hope that rebirth will correct this NPC style: turn 90 degrees and try again
lov to see a standalone spray shop , easy as pullin off the trade lanes pay over ya credits and done. i havent seen much mention of marines and boarding, with sub system targeting for shields and weaponry coupled with the size of the large stations im hoping the needed force sizes will grow, or in turn the ability to hire mercs who are set specific tasks during an assult be it with ship or as marines.
Ok, i didnt find any word about combat system of TNBT, so there is my questions:
1. Will there be more difference between fighter weapons and cap ships ones( I mean something like heavy gauss cannons, spinal mounts etc...)
2. We know that there will be subsystems, but how many and what kind? (only destroyable engines or there will be life support system, bridge, reactors, every single turret?)
3.Will there still be ammunition based weapon?
4. Will there be different types of shields and armor, weapon ability to penetrate shields etc, or its just like primitive system in TC?
5.Will carriers be there? They will be devastating ships?
6.Is there changes in missile system, will there be missile tubes on every ship? Will missiles be launched from tubes or from empty space beneath spaceship like in TC?
7. Will cap ships have external docking ports?
8. What types of ships will be present (m1-m8??) Will m6 corvettes be capships and will we be able to pilot them directly from bridge?
Most of my experiences is from X3 Reunion. There was a button "u" by default that can stop the autopilot or dock on bases with and for to follow ships. That button was good for to suspend the turret's autopilot command in case when you selected the turret view on your monitors or in the main view.
Remote controll of your ships via 2'ndary window
When we have incomming communication then the remote controll will stop asap and you have to put focus on it again. Ssome crazy pirate you shoot at with the remote controlled ship and they just speak but when they doing that you loosing focus on your remote controlled ship is dumb
This two things is a serious setback from X2, X3R and i'm afraid of more removed opportunities comming with the new X game
X to X3 is MENU SUPERIOR! I think Egosoft has already worked out our doom, because Xenon AI will reach the stars!
What I want most is better weapon mechanics.
Shootable missiles are nice, but due to TC/X3:R engine and stupid AI they didn't work, so I hope they limit destroyable warhead only to big ship missiles and torpedoes.
Also I think that the heavy capship weapons shouldn't be able to target/hit fighters, again in TC/X3:R due to engine, stupid AI and OOS - ships could just spam PPC and stupid NPC ship would just ran into the stream of PPC.
Same stuff with missile frigates. Once you have crazy big missile complex for hammer and flails, you could basically own the whole universe with one ship and missile spam.
Are there going to have ships bigger than capital ships? I always want to fly titanic ships like those titans in EVE Online. X3 was a disappointment in the size department.

*cough*overcompensating*cough*
Seriously, though.
Capital ships already were fairly enormous in X3. It's just that when lined up with the design of the rest of the game they didn't really convey a good sense of size.
It's really up to the visual designers of the game to make big things look big and small things look small.
From the trailers Egosoft has done a great job making stations look large in scale to the smaller ships. I'm confident that they've done a good job with the capital ships, as well.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.
I'm thoroughly excited to hear about the upcoming newest edition of X! Oh how I wish I had already graduated from university and were under the employ of egosoft as a game designer!
Has anyone heard if X Rebirth will have North American distribution at the same time as European distribution? Or will we have to wait a few months like we did with X3TC?

Yeah, I timed my schooling rather well. Either I graduate and can work an awesome Job, Or I spent my last years NOT working my ass off and learning cool shit
But this way I sorta make it cool for a new computer Would love to know how far gaming pc's have come last 2.5 years. Is Alienware still the best overall PC avalable? FYI love the trailer.
