Maybe it's already begun (via devs videos)? Nah... Just kidding =)

Sainsbury's said 31st March, which has now passed.

Now another website I found says July 26th. Probably another fake.

They'll keep guessing. One of them will get it right eventually.

If we're guessing, I'll guess....vaporware.

Well...that's not a date....so I guess mid-late 2014.

Just before was enough. Even the sequel of Rebirth will make it before that.

CBJ, is Rebirth still expected/likely 2013 release date?

Are you in a position to say if it's expected currently Q2, Q3, or Q4?

That last question seriously made me laugh out loud!!

There is ABSOLUTELY no way they would have given any kind of answer to that.

Quite honestly. I was surprised that cbj even "committed" to 2013. Than again...they said that in 2011, 2012, 2013??

I won't lie, I'm shocked it was answered myself

I guess CBJ figured it was going to be re-asked sooner or later, and decided to give himself a few pages of breathing room

Sadly the no comment on Q probably means it isn't anytime soon

Albion prelude update still isn't out, what makes you think any expected quarterly release will be givin out if they havn't even finished the ap update?? And when they do update ap they are gonna use the ap update to shut us up for the next three months, so im seriously expecting x rebirth released late q 3 or q4 otherwise 2014 maby wheb rebirth finally comes out. Shame.

How many times does it have to be stated that Egosoft are NOT making the AP update.

dougeye · Post by **dougeye** » Sun, 14. Apr 13, 13:11

6,987,456 times + 2

ES didn't make it, community did. ES has to test, tweak and modify it then package and deliver... so why the delay. And since the AP 3.0 was made by community people, you would think we would then know exactly when it was submitted to ES and might be the reason why people are asking the question where is it?

Also, it has been stated before that there is more than just a couple community mods included in AP 3.0, so yeah, ES did work above and beyond the community portion.

Anyways, this thread or forum are not for AP so I am assuming we are going to get a move and lock.

Community involvement doesn't end with Egosoft choosing community content. The comments I made re: bonus packs would be equally valid for the community content in this update - tweaks and testing as well as translation to various languages would be performed by community volunteers. It can all take a fair bit of time, and none of it relies on Egosoft personnel.

Of course there will be some Egosoft time required, depending on how much dev content is in it, as well as needing to check, sign and package the community content, and that would need to be fitted around Rebirth requirements - I'd imagine Rebirth is top priority.

Well, DS seems to have no problem pumping out other info for their other releases this year... http://www.deepsilver.com/en/news/newsd ... na-engine/

Why are they so tight lipped about Rebirth?

I know I know, ask DS.

BarrenEarth...you 'n I both know the answer to that question. Getting egosoft to tell their fanbase, that's another story.

Mostly because they don't owe us anything.

You still seem to have completely misunderstood both the process and the status of X3AP 3.0. This isn't Bonus Pack material and the DevNet Team who are working on it aren't "submitting" anything to Egosoft. They are still finalising a few things with the content and sorting out the translation, and meanwhile the testers (also DevNet members) are testing the current build. Egosoft are providing support here and there, and yes we are packaging up builds when they are ready, but we are not blocking or delaying its release. It will be released as soon as it's ready.

If you want to know the status of X3AP 3.0 then all you need to do is sign up for DevNet at the most basic level, no NDA required, and take a look in the relevant forum. Similarly if you wanted to know how far things have progressed with X Rebirth then you could sign an NDA and get involved in that, though that's a bit more of a commitment as we do expect people to actually participate if they join DevNet at that level.
