Well in fact you dont switch ship per say in the new rebirth, you need a mining ship with you and you simply *tag* asteroid for the mining barge to pick up. Your job is to find asteroid, break it up into managable piece, then you tag them... thats it....

While it is quite simplistic i *think* you can gather a few ore into the albion skunk for early game mining, not sure tho, i think i remember seeing something about an ore collection mode in the main menu in the latest video about space exploration.

In any case, ill be happy once the game is released even if some feature/gameplay element isnt quite right in my book because i consider this release like the X-Beyond frontier release, the first of a new serie and we all know where that first game got the game/franchise into, if im disapointed i know the next exapnsion will mostly cover my disapointment or the community will make mods that will make the game even more enjoyable.

Speaking of wich, i do know there will be scripting using a language similar to the mission editor and also use XML in some place, but i wonder how open to modding the game will be. Man im going to sink so much time into that scripting once its out... not even funny.... Spent weeks creating scripts to help me manage my fleet and newly built ship in the past in X3-reunion and AP.

Can't you come out already? god dammit....

That reminds me of Independence War 2, you shoot at the cargo ships and your buddy warps in and starts collecting the crates.

Pre-loading now available on Steam.

Call me insane but i wish to be capable of personally piloting a mining barge and watching as my tiny little slave drones fly around my TL and mining asteroids (there was a mod that basically allowed to transform a TL into a large mobile ore/silicon mine that mined things via specialized drones.
Not to mention things like MARS that literally transformed any capship into a (Drone) carrier.

Of course i doubt there are many people as demented as me who would actually manage to take pleasure in watching drones scoot between your ship and an asteroid field slowly filling up your cargo bay.

Clearly anyone who played as miner in eve online would like the same thing as you.

well from what i saw in the mining video that's exactly what you can do, you just dont need an specialized ship to do it, just refit your skunk, it actually gives meaning to have a single ship, being able to modify it as you want, and actually getting used to know your ship's pros and cons depending on how do you fit it.....makes me remember Evochron Mercenary for that matter (althought you can have more than one ship in that game), or, the best analogue is playing somethink akin to EVE but with a single T3 ship and hundreds if not millions of modifications for it, from industry, to exploration, to combat, etcetera....

I really think the Albion will be a ship that you form an attachment with, like the Normandy or the Enterprise. Also, does anyone know if there's any planetary ops, like EVE?

It looks like a corvette from Homeworld 2.

I never got attached to the Normandy. It was just a ship going from point A to Point B.

Pretty sure there won't be. There might be stations or sectors set in the upper atmosphere though.

Launch trailer up:

Looks like it's unlocked on steam at around 7am est? A bit odd. I'm used to steam sales opening PST, but I think they're in Germany.

The manual's out if you want to read it. http://cdn4.steampowered.com/Manuals/2870/X_Rebirth_Manual_English.pdf

I think so, and I always love their trailers' music. I think it's always the same guys who does it.

I played all X except for the first one, and didn't finish X3 Albion Prelude because I didn't have the time.
But I hope this one achieves all the potential the series could achieve, and the terrible, rough issues of the past get solved.. 

I had lots of fun with this series.

SO IT HAS COME TO THIS.

...that is, I really want to play this but I'm a cheapskate. If only developers posted release dates for price drops.

Here's a bunch of gorgeous ships. You can't fly any of them. If that makes you angry you can blow them up.

It'll be a different X game for sure.

So... wheres the cheapest place to buy it for £££s?
