In the distant future, the X universe faces a period of profound and irrevocable change. While the universe stumbles towards an uncertain future, countless adventures await as new enemies rise in search of power. Enter a young adventurer and his unlikely female ally traveling in an old, battered ship with a glorious past - two people alone against the galaxy, playing a key part in the events to come. The fate of the universe rests in the hands of the player...
X Rebirth represents a spectacular new beginning for the X series, offering loyal fans and newcomers alike a vast, vivid and extremely detailed universe to explore throughout the game. Varied gameplay elements such as action-packed space combat, detailed trading mechanics and high-speed space exploration with fast travel allow players to experience a truly unique space saga that will keep them hooked for dozens of hours. X Rebirth features a whole new user experience - it is easier than ever to start with, and remains as deep as fans expect it.

Which, as you saw, was "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm".
Still, I put something like 120 hours into X3:TC once I finally played it! I have (almost) nothing but the highest hopes!
I loved hearing the computerized voice at the end...it's been a while since I've play either X3:R or X3:TC...must...not...reinstall.
buy X3:TC
you will fucking love it
Steam: CavilatRest
I love TC, even though I've never really made it very far into it (I treat it like Oblivion: I install a bunch of mods, play the hell out of it for a couple weeks, switch to something else, and by the time I come back I have to reinstall all my mods and start over).
I hope they make the combat more ... visceral ... in this one, since that's my main complaint about TC - how you can go from full shields to space dust without any meaningful feedback and without noticing.

If they make this easier to get into, like actually easy to get into, it can get as complex as it wants. As long as it builds you up to it; im all for it.

I thought ol' Pappy P isn't fond of X anymore? Maybe that was a fever dream I had once.
I hope they fix the autopilot being a giant retard.
Having my wing mates crash into stations is pretty bad.
Lots of slowdown.
When they released a patch I was worried all my mods wouldn't work with it since they did something specific to fix it. Eventually I uninstalled it. I've forgotten all the mods I had installed.
I would like it if carriers were worth the cost and not just a fun little waste of time and money.
I would also like it if their ship ui was searchable.
Seriously.
Let me search for a ship name.
Please?
An easy way to conduct fleet ops without mods/going through a crap-ton of menus.
Better fighter AI.
A decent counter to macross style missile spam attacks (Nothing like losing a capship because some jackoff NPC decided to unload 25 missiles into it all at once!).
More combat scenario's. I want to see major Khaak invasions hitting the galactic "rim". With zone map updates. Stuff like that.
Also, I see that there's some pretty heavy duty Earth style ship influences in some of those screenshots. Wonder if the ATF (Or whatever it's called.) is going to play a better role outside of being a ridiculously hard bonus faction to rep in this time?
This more than anything else.
That's a goddamn APOLLO.
If they make the flight physics not mind-numbingly bad (at least for someone coming from Freespace/Privateer), then I am very interested.
If not, well...
He's sworn off the current X games, that's true... We'll have to see if he can stay on the bandwagon with a new release :P
The modding community was amazing too.
They added a lot of faction dynamics and missions and such.
It was always cool to see sectors go into full scale war over incursions.
If they fix the everything, then this could be an incredible game, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Yep.
Well. "Fourth Quarter 2011"
While it was awesome to play with mods like that, I'm sad that the particular faction dynamic mod I was waiting for never got finished. It was in development by the guy who did the "Pirate Guild" mod, and he was really talking about getting in-depth about forcing every faction to play by some realistic rules of supply and stuff like that, rather than having ships being spawned out of nothing for the sake of continuous warfare.
Maybe we'll see the new base game offer something more along those lines? I doubt it, though.
Had to nail my dick to a crucifix just to get past the first menu. Scarred like you wouldn't believe after it told me to get out the gasoline.
Here's to hoping for some more engaging combat. I can forgive a lot of hole in my dick if I can have a good time blowing things up.
Despite that, I had tons of fun with it. It got really awesome once you got a ton of ships under your command.
Maybe my memory is kinda bad, but at a certain point, once you get a fleet, it should all but turn into a straight up RTS. I had a super mega ultra awesome capitol ship, and like one other tiny ship that wasn't worth the time. I think I just moved around in the awesome ship because trying to get it to follow me, or get the little one to do as I say, was painful.
Oh yeah, I also never installed any mods. Maybe I was making it harder than it should have been.
Man, I'm awful at it. So difficult, I got no joy out of it at all. Beyond that, I accidentally killed myself at the end of both of the training missions I did for two separate characters, and lost all progress.
No thanks.
I agree with the others who wish we would get another Freelancer type game.
Yeah, I remember several mods with that ambition, going on hiatus and canceling.
Even in Vanilla, there were times where I felt that the trade and production AI was unrealistic.
My game died with the steam patch, and I didn't rustle up my serial for a reinstall.
I have no idea where the modding community is now. I do remember one group developing a entirely new galaxy and set of missions.
But I still look forward to doing it all over again, so welp :P
I also wouldn't recommend starting with the Terran campaign, since you'll have to go into combat right off the bat, and you start in the horrid Terran sectors which don't allow for much trading.
The Mamba was a pretty sweet starter ship as well.
I spent a forever amount of time before I got into the trading.
I think that had to be the most difficult bit for me. I was quite happy when I managed to somewhat automate a trade fleet of captured haulers.
Man all of this reflection is getting to me.
I remember commanding wings of captured Xenon Ls against pirates.
I killed so many pirates.
I think I'm going to rustle up that serial number.
I enjoyed X2 and what little I was able to play of the first game. Also, now that I finally have a new computer that'll actually play it, I really should get around to hunting out X3.
i concur.
every x game i make it a mission to become public enemy #1 with the paranids, and of course set up the biggest space fuel factory I can
I went away and made myself a cup of team and came back to exactly the same situation.
I bought a flight stick to play X2, I gave X2 all the love I could give. It gave me jack shit back in return.
I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.
I honestly want to try the game, I just have the suspicion that I'm going to play it for 3 hours, and then never again.
