i still believe one ship concept is against X-series and logic... Imagine if u'd live in a vast and rich world and would drive big clumsy BUS or should i say big metal CAN all the time! Ofc u'd encounter lots of varieties of vehicles like jaguar, ferarri and vw hehe . U'd have all the money of the world and u couldn't buy that shiny car and drive it... Where is the point in that? Don't see any logic here... I guess Ego went the easy way... Make one ship, make available some attachments and that's it. Ofc it would be much harder to make hundreds of ships and make them all fully upgradeable (i think that's what the most players of X-series want - think, trade, fight and get better, bigger or smaller and faster ship, just to feel superiority of the exact situation in an open space - sometimes u need capital ship to deal with enemies and sometimes small one to kick anyone's butt) So i'm a bit sceptical about this one ship thing only.

Haven't really followed too closely but the first X game you only had one upgradable ship all the way through, seems they've just gone back to that model. As long as it's heavily customisable I don't really mind.

To me, I just hate the look of that ship. That is the only problem I have with this whole 1 ship vs. many issue.

Well, they could have gone the Independence War 2 way (a game with Newtonian physics btw).
ONE module attachable to a variety of ships. No need for tons of cockpits or command centers.

Indeed, same here.
It's a bit disappointing as it is now, due to being, IMO at least, obvious that it's some sort of dev. limitation. Too few resources for multiple ships? No idea, but it's a bit of a let down.

Eh, the game wasn't really complicated. It just had a crappy UI and a slow time pace( at least for the trading aspects). If they actually simplify the game(instead of just improving the UI), it'll definitely make it worse, because the 'complexity' is pretty much all it had going for it.

Mods really helped the UI in x3..
I started to like X3 during my third attempt, after I found some excellent mods (for the hud,speed multiplier, ships, x-tended and so on).

Looks like Ego have given massive thought to all the things that had that "rough" feel in the previous games, while not altering the gameplay too much, which is good. 
Though one aspect that needs to be improved is the stations imo, they seemed very empty and lifeless in the video, not exactly atmospheric.

Don't expect it to get better, ever. I mean there has to be a shit ton of stations in this game if the previous games are anything to go by. I doubt they would bother handcrafting and polishing every single station to be unique and interesting. Good thing is, mods can probably fix this problem. |
Hehe true. The amount of work would be really enormous for something that is merely 'aesthetic'. Immersion and graphics are important factors of course, but as long as the quests are interesting and various enough, and the gameplay/interface refined, I can tolerate pretty much anything. =) |

Nice vid! I can't wait. I kinda dislike that "in person" trader stuff because it will make the things slower but the rest is awesome!

The cockpit seems very low res.
edit: ". I also miss the various camera angles and being able to see the whole scene: the cockpit takes up a chunk of view, and there are no external camera angles of any kind. "
omg lame...
