I love the Hawk MK 3 reconfiguration.
Is it me or does it remind me of the Cockpit from Earth: Final Conflict?

Now, reduce the price from $49.99 to something much more reasonable given the game's initial reviews and complaints, and time post release, and I might just buy it.

Well head over to steam then, your wish has come true, steam midweek madness has x rebirth 50% off

Can someone tell me about new capships? Are there some military ships?

Havent played since launch. Finally time to reinstall. One question though is the new plot available to the campaign or only the new starts?

Yes - Argon in OL get their own range of Freighters and Destroyers (XL mainly)

Re-downloading X-Rebirth to try out the new patch, but I have a question about boarding while I wait.

Can we board ships and actually do some fps rather then hearing pretend voices of marines?

Wow, they fix some technical issues (that shouldh have been there in the first place), throw a few shiney glass pearls without touching the rotten core of the gameplay (like the broken economy, or the still broken pathfinding, horrible performance among others) and you scream "Horray Egosoft"?

The community, on one hand, and the lackluster patch support by Egosoft on the other hand keeps me speechless even after 6 months!

What's this about a new plot chain? I just restarted the campaign and have seen no sign of any new plot points. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

@Egosoft, great job! What I've seen so far looks like a real improvement. Thanks for sticking with it!!!

MAUCorp · Post by **MAUCorp** » Wed, 21. May 14, 02:52

Its more like the corporate missions from TC than an actual plot, as I understand it.

@zothen Genuine query: keep hearing this staccato complaint. Not doubting its validity but I do want to hear details. Could you please detail how the economy and pathfinding is broken and offer solutions? thanks in advance.

jasonbarron · Post by **jasonbarron** » Wed, 21. May 14, 03:03

Hi MAUCorp--are these missions available in the main campaign?

MAUCorp · Post by **MAUCorp** » Wed, 21. May 14, 04:46

Haven't tried myself, but I've heard it told you can if you reach +20 with Argon Govt in OL.

Also: http://www.egosoft.com/games/x_rebirth/ ... en_083.jpg

Maybe the angle but this looks like a new hybrid to discover. Maybe secret service related?

EDIT: It looks smaller than Arawn. No turrets behind the mid engines and the outside engines look more forward placed. Also I don't recall that dorsal(?) fin at bottom.

Thanks Egosoft for this patch! Well done!

6 months later, anticipating another attempt at this, looking forward to it.

PS. You should just kill off Yisha and turn her into the ships A.I. with a modable voice and mute button.

I like that idea, she doesn't really bring anything to the story other than being the initial contact that introduces you to the Heart of Albion.

Great improvements and additions. Also the textures make it less cartoony.

Too bad Egosoft didn't have or get the time to release it like this in November.

Actually, since we cannot see Ren, adding some customisation for Yisha would be interesting. Like new clothes and haircuts.
But then again, there are many more important things, so dont bother Egosoft

Better, trade Yisha for a Balrog (giant flaming horned demon)

Betty, all is forgiven.

though if the autopilot exists now, why do you need a co-pilot... oh, wait....
