Ha, he rammed into a station and died.

Strangely I feel my preorder more secure after watching it.

I'm canceling mine unless he crashes into argon one soon :colbert:

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.

Yeah this was the biggest issue with the "one ship" design decision. In the pre-release stuff it made it sound like it would be really modular and you could have all sorts of configurations, but in practice you had like, one of three different options for engines (fast, maneuverable, or mix of both), one of three options for shields (fast recharge, high max, mix of both), and then just, different tiers of weapons, all of which could be equipped simultaneously.

Yeah space highways look awesome, I like all the ambient traffic in the space highways and surrounding stations.

Hopefully he finds some larger capital ships soon, would be nice to see.

Overall the game has a good sense of scale.

He just docked on a giant constructor ship that was cruising around and his ship is just a tiny speck on the side of it.

The deck of this constructor ship is so cool, I hope you can get a capital ship like this and take in the view. His ship docked on this other ship is going through a warp gate to a new sector.

The seamless integration looks fantastic.

I have heard - though not seen - that you can walk an owned capital ship's bridge, and the AI pilot - an actual NPC - will be flying, and you can just ask him to fuckin move out the way and take over.

Edit: Oh, he was just walking around the constructor ship's bridge -- yeah, like that! Except, you can actually take over flying.

Look at it this way.

You never played X3 much because you knew, deep in your soul, that X4 was coming eventually. Your lack of X3 playing has prepared you for this day.

Or at least prepared you for Friday.

You can actually do this on most of your ships. If you want to ride along in a fighter while the AI pilots, it's an option.

Yes.

I kind of hope you can sell spaceweed in a pirate sector, stalk a customer into a species' space, and then use your police license to cause him to drop the cargo. Then you pick it back up and re-sell it.

Hella tedious but hilarious the first couple of times in X3.

That seems to be the implication.

As to station building, you probably won't see that for a couple days after release, depending on the economic scale.
