EGOSOFT and Deep Silver announce X Rebirth

dgw757 · Post by **dgw757** » Mon, 25. Apr 11, 12:50

My first X game was Reunion and I have been a huge fan ever since, not least because you guys at egosoft are fantastic with adding new missions, patches and excellent with customer support.

Things I would like to see in the new game: NPCs – there weren’t any. Improved station building – complexes were a nightmare. Carrier ships – allow them to carry M6s. Jump drives - anything smaller than an M6 shouldn’t have one. A better way to equip ships as this was extremely tedious. Allow players to own sectors – this could open up lots of interesting ideas. Pirates – only the hostile ones should show up as red.

Thankyou egosoft for the x-series and best of luck with this new venture from a loyal fan. Can't wait until it's released.

I often "park" in 3rd person, aligning with gates, ships, stations, etc. And I fly through the lanes on manual in 3rd quite often, too!
I also regularly fly capital ships from 3rd person, allowing me to line up the turrets to their target.

It's not just about the fighting!

eh? There are millions of 'civilian' ships in X3/TC.

dgw757 wrote:Carrier ships – allow them to carry M6s.

That can be done in X3/TC with some modding.

dgw757 wrote:Jump drives - anything smaller than an M6 shouldn’t have one.

Another easy thing to change, simply change the cargo size to L or XL.

dgw757 wrote:Allow players to own sectors

Scripts can do this already.

Sounds like your looking for a mod/script for X3/TC.

I just hope we'll be able to preorder after the 28th so I can start saving money for a new rig. My current rig won't even run X2 properly

A lot of people seem to be getting excited over the 28th.

I don't see any official statements that we'll be getting any more information on that day. The 28th was originally reserved to announce Rebirth, and that was moved up to the 20th. After that Egosoft took down the "TNBT will be announced the 28th" post and now there's nothing indicating a further release of information.

The amount of speculation mounting on the forums is starting drive me insane.

Only three pages in to the thread, but isn't anyone else curious about 'unlikely female ally'? What, Catherine Tate? The senator from Re-union? A Kha'ak queen? Hester Shaw? What's the story there..?

Bala Gi or Maha Ma? I suspect Bala Gi and the Xperimental Shuttle, FTW

Heah, EGOSOFT should clearly confirm or deny the 28th to cut of unnecessary speculation.

Confirm or deny what? The 28th was only stated as a planned date for the announcement, which clearly was moved forward.

There will be the conference in Dusseldorf where could be some more info about the game released. imo

I just looked through the FedCon program and Deep Silver has a 30 minute slot for an "exclusive game preview."

That might yield more information regarding Rebirth.

Or they might just be showing the trailer to an offline audience.

Or there's some other sci-fi game that Deep Silver is producing.

...There don't seem to be any details about the panel.

I think I just died of happiness.

I come back from holiday, and what do I find? ZOMG TNBT has been announced. And it looks AWESOME.

HAPPY FACE!

How ironic, and I allways forget this.

It is much easier waiting for the TNBT to be announced than it is waiting for the details to be revealed

One thing about this teaser that has me excited is the stations!

This supose to resolve all speculations, but then:

30 minutes for one minute trailer? Now I'm confused.

actually they have reserved a 15 minute slot, not 30. from 15:00h to 15:15h.

Oh, the it's clear now. There won't be a Chrismass in 28th. 1 minute trailer presentation, plus 14 minutes of question & answers, plus maybe a few decoration screenshots.

Deleted User · Post by **Deleted User** » Mon, 25. Apr 11, 19:21

just noticed tho they got another slot between 18:30 and 19:15...

Oh wow. I didn't even realize there was a second page.

I can't make out the German.

Knowing Google translator the thruth is probably something almost but not quite entirely unlike that.

Thankyou Roguey, another thing I missed out, in my praise of egosoft was the help and advice offered by other X3 fans via the forums.
I should have said NPCs with character; i.e. they interact at some level with the game player. For example in Baldur’s Gate 2, another favourite game of mine, the NPC characters were fascinating and reacted to the way you treated them and even asked for help with their own personal quests.
The other points you make are valid and I will look into the script/modding side of the game.
Thanks again
