I didn't really follow Rebirth's launch incredibly closely. Did it look this good, or was it more evident that it would be a piece of poo poo?

Rebirth doesn't look this good now.

Like this looks like a really big step up from rebirth as it presently exists.

Looks pretty cool so far, do notice some framerate issues though but if that's the worst of it I'm sold.

I think a lot of that might be the stream, he's reporting good FPS.

Well this looks like just fuckin X3 mixed with the parts of Elite I like.

Seeing that EVA docking makes me really want to see a TM or another ship that can dock a fighter.

Pre-ordered. I hope the amount of ships didn't suffer *too* much with the need to make interiors for all of them, but as long as there's a decent number I'll be satisfied.

I was going to wait until you all dove on the grenade but now that I'm watching this stream I am overcome with the urge to pre-order.

The aliens all look different but eh, works for me.

Edit: Done.

Most of them don't have a full interior, they have a cockpit and maybe a ramp that connects to the pad. But you move between key points using a lift.

I haven't been able to watch much of the stream. Are there player flyable carrier ships with fighter bays? Are there giant gently caress-off freighters for my space truckin needs?

There were in Rebirth so I would very much expect so.

They've called out carriers specifically as something you can fly, "from small scouts up to the biggest carrier" or some such.

Sorry, rebirth had those ships. But yes you could only fly the one.

In X4 you can fly everything, so if it has them, which I would assume, you can fly them.

It looks like they're still using part of the Rebirth model where you regularly use very big freighters, while also including more medium sized ones.

There was some development footage with a Colossus, so I'd assume that's in.

This looks much, much better than I thought, honestly. I had huge concerns about the map interface from all the still images I'd seen, but seeing it in action it doesn't look bad at all

Honestly I feel like X:R would have worked a lot better in one ship if there was way more upgrading to be done to it. It was too little for that style.

Watching the fighters boost off in combat looks pretty neat.

I also find it curious that there's a wrecked insect type P early on but he's fighting an X3 shaped xenon N.

E: Hah I think the thing just popped flares!

Strangely I feel my preorder more secure after watching it.
