Posting to watch.

I'm reserving judgement until after I play it, but it looks really good judging from the trailers.

[Kanil]

Single ship puts this almost certainly into the "no thanks" category for me. I don't care how detailed the interior is, it's not going to make up for every instance of happening upon a ship and going "whoa, that's cool! I want one... ... oh, right".

Making a single ship that can somehow look like the strongest ship in the universe, the fastest and most agile fighter, and the largest freighter around also seems... tricky, at best. Unless the player ship isn't meant to be any of those things, which will also be underwhelming.

I struggle to understand the decision.

[Lord Snow]

Huge and teeming with life? And the screenshot accompanying the news is filled to the brim with mini asteroids?
here i was, thinking the old X games were running badly at time of launch... :|

[muwahahaha]

I'm not especially excited for this one. My biggest enjoyment of playing the X3 games was flying the frigates, destroyers and carriers and having the feeling of extreme size and power, and the removal of that appears to be a major feature of X:R.

This combined with the endless waiting after the initial reveal has drastically weakened my hype level.

I'll probably still end up giving it a go at some point if only because I love these sorts of games, but given how many other games I've got and am looking at I'm not going to be picking it up on release.

[Anvilfolk]

Yeah, unless you can get your ship to be huge, or small, or switch between huge and small ships, makes me really sad. I couldn't care less about ship interiors, and I don't want an adventure game, I want a sandbox

Anyway, will be waiting to see what people say about it

[BuriBuriZaemon]

It feels more like Elder Scrolls in space, but I like the immersion.

Not really digging the Pride of Albion's look, though. I wonder how visually customisable it will be.

[Sensei]

I've not really looked, but the way they talk about customization it seems like you can tack on an entire ship outside of your ship- like a capsule in EVE.

the whole "you only get one ship' thing turned this from 'must buy immediately' to 'eh I'll wait and see if people say its good'

Exactly my toughts, im quite sure the game will end up good but also... that look man... that ship look is... ugly... i like symetrical ships or at least mostly symetrical.... Anyway i cant wait to see how it turns out.

Then again, I doubt it'll be long before modders make a multiship mod.

The way i see it, it might end up that these ship player will be able to pilot will in fact be oversized drone but being able to switch ship as in shipships, i dont think it will be possible since that is hardcoded, i think i saw something about it somewhere during their initial speaking at the start.

I actually am okay with the way the ship looks, but I liked gallente ships in EVE which are generally considered pretty ugly as well.

Caldari ships are borderline for my *symetry* acceptance level, they are mostly symmetrical and thats about the max i can tolerate before it falls in the *ugly* zone. There is a few exeption where i saw ship not symetrical but still looking good, but so far the pride of alibion? Meh i dont know, what i saw so far was *meh* but hell who knows maybe a few upgrade in it will be different.

[BuriBuriZaemon]

I hope the Pride of Albion can function as a "command module" for larger ship classes. Just like how they did it in Independence War 2.

[TheDecline]

Looks funky,

Im not too bothered about the one ship thing as either it will get other ships added or modded

or of course I could just stop pretending its X3 and play it as its own game.
