What about stating your opinion as what it is an opinion, instead of calling everyone stupid, who does not agree with you?! I know it's a complic...

Next on my wishlist: X4 VR on Linux (I'm not buying VR equipment without it !) Do we even have one of decent VR vendors supporting linux fully? As it stands, a linux version could be the only reason I will still buy X4, similar as it was the only reason I bought Rebirth on some sale. For some reaso...

just to let you know I wish for this one too :) X Rebirth for Linux in the end works gloriously. It certainly does. Linux version was the only reason I actually bought it. I was fully aware that the gameplay is not really comparable to the previous titles I liked, but a linux version convinced me a...

because windows users have to keep using tools like this to keep Windows from slowing down due to the way the kernel is designed. I didn't explain myself well. I always assumed this kind of software is malware itself, considering that its advertisement appears on various shady sites. I only use Win...

I did but no one responded. I swear flight controls were weird in x2 on modern OS iirc i think turning was tuned really high as in you couldnt turn small incriments. Was the demo maybe i installed or full game off steam i just cant remember. Was just wanting to see the intro to see how fluid it was...

At least that means Egosoft is likely to keep the linux version, something that made me buy Rebirth even after all bad press

Is it so bad? I spent a few hours watching the story on youtube and it is OK. Is the rest of gameplay just horrible?

At least don't make it a friggin MMO, I could live with standard universe being shareable between two players. In fact I'd start dualboxing right away Not that there is a slim chance of Egosoft doing it.

You have to admit it was a good troll. I held my breath for a few hours before the final leak happened. Long live the Queen I guess

I like all those features assuming they're done right. ^This. My problem with Rebirth is that 1) Egosoft completely remade the gameplay 2) I am struggling to name a single feature they did right in the process. I'd be happy with pre-rebirth gameplay with a graphic facelift and a multi-threaded core...

Flying a capital ship is a deal breaker for me considering that I spent 90% of my game time in X3 and X2 doing exactly that. You captial ship under AI control will mean watching helplessly how dumb AI is killing it and I am not paying for that. (may be I am, but not before the price drops under $15 ...

One thing is guaranteed: chose most expensive HDD over the cheapest SSD and you will lose

$279 is a US price, and I need quality too, not just size, I got the best of everything else I bought that I could afford. I went for just the cheapest (crucial) and it has been running OK for more than a year already. $279 price came from the same brand and type on Amazon (but different size. I ha...

Creationism is a major issue too, since it implies a fundamental belief that some god type figure will come and sort things out. One US state even had a state sponsored prayer event to tackle the drought, led by the Governor... Well, the prayers certainly helped with teh draught on the west coast. ...

If you are really short on money, get a small SSD for your OS and a regular (or hybrid) drive for everything else. It is worth the money 100%. I ended up with 2 half terrabyte SSDs for my main gaming machine and I may be buying more in the future because I noticed that the price went down since I bo...

Is there a choice to be had? You can help our cause, break some starbucks windows with bricks, burn some flags. In fact we are counting on as many people as possible making this type of choice. Dude, you're president of country with the largest military spend in the world. In fact its DOUBLE the nu...

X3's collision damage isn't broken. It's working as intended. Are you sure you're not complaining about AI pathing? I am complaining about accidental clips resulting in game over, valhallas getting stuck in the gates, springblossoms clipping in the adjacent docks, Hyperion(?) dying when leaving an ...

I found that docking in or at a station is usually far more interesting the the journey to get there. And it actually shows your skill at piloting. Lets hope X4 will have collision damage again. Yeah, it is fun to do it occasionally. But not when you are doing some trading pretty much on auto-pilot...

well, imo ED has it too long and after the 5th docking it gets tedious even... XR had it too short (well, none in fact), x3 and nms had it about right. anyway, other than going on autopilot how X3 took too long? :) you just had to fly in the hole and youve got instalocked... i know its about opinio...

I've seen vids where the player used a hoard of captured fighters to take down a cap ship so they have some use other than scrap. That the game allows each player to decide from many outcomes is a credit to the game design. It's not as broken as portrayed in this thread. -Pv- It is definitely not a...
