Looks very cool. I like the dust cloud you can see stretching into the distance.

I hope we get some close-ups of different ships soon! We see a whole lot of Nova, Disco, Kestrel, Falcon and Osprey but only glimpses of anything else, really.

Well just in from the land of wild and irrational speculation.....


I reckon Bernd et al were all out at some heavy metal gig and he got back late having had a stein (krug or maybe humpen) too many.

So being in the spirit of things he decided to make a late night post....
Just before falling into bed....
It was a woman who drove me to drink... you know I never went back and thanked her.

Don't try to outweird me, three-eyes. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

I really hope cockpits glass can break with a sniper weapon on a ship so u can one shot kill pilots (they get blown out to space) to nick their ships (board using spacesuit) kinda like battlezone 2 but the space version. Or ill be dissapointed lol.

Obviously he was testing X4 and got hooked :D

So, he takes the work home as well.

Egosoft surely is dedicated.

As fun as it sounds (and as much as I like BZ2), that wouldn't be good balance-wise. It was already considered capping ships too easy so far. Now imagine if you can just shoot their cockpits and claim the ships too.

What Ego could borrow from BZ2 (possibly in X5) is the way of the ground battles on a planet.

Wow you really cannot let that go can you.

There won't be ground battles in x5 either.
If you want a different perspective, stand on your head.

This may not be important or not but as I recall the little insignia on the Disco is a Vitruvian man, possibly a corporation logo? I guess we'll have to see

It's the default Player Logo since the very beginning (X-BtF). The X3 games and X Rebirth did not support these logos, that's why you might not be familiar with it.

Don't be so sure. Who would have predicted the FPS mode pre-Rebirth as well? Still happened :D

They had something like that (and the missions that went with it) in "edge of chaos: independence war 2". It was fun, and a really hard shot to take.
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

IMO the red stripe indicate some ship customization/painting.
That buster/discoverer didn't had stripes in their stream videos.

If we would have customizable decals and colors, then only thing left for full service would be name decals for capships.

BTW I thing I asked this before, but do we can only pick ship decals globaly for all you assets (like in X-BTF), or can we pick different decal for each ship/station?

Will Egosoft be able to present at Gamescom? I don't know how exhibition is run there, and I'm worried ES may not be able to establish a presence without a publisher (funding, logistics, etc.)
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.
