I just recently got back into X3:TC. Such a learning curve, but my god what a game. Needless to say, my hardon is pretty big for this next game in the series.

My initial mistake with the X series was to try and play it like Freelancer. Think of it more along the lines of a 4x strategy game where you get to pilot the ships yourself.
-
Thats the thing...I'd like to get a 'spiritual sequel' to Freelancer, instead of 4x strategy game, plus I enjoy piloting one ship and would like to have it controlled like Freelancer, if I could...
Maybe when I have time, I'll have to give it another try. Hope this game will be easier to learn, and would still allow some open gameplay while having a focused narrative/story.
-
Darkstar One sated my Freelancer itch for a while...even though it wasn't the greatest game in the universe.
X3/TC just had terrible autopilot AI, I hope they fix it.

Could you guys fix the CTDs before you release it this time? :(

Exactly- I tried so hard to like these games, but the 3 or 4 hours I put into them were nothing but "What the fuck do I do now?!?" I got the impression that the game clearly did not want me to play it, so I stopped. I'll give this next one a fair shot though, because I really do want to like these games.

This. Also, when I finally got enough going on in the world that I wanted to have some friendly warships, I got to reading about it and I was really turned off by how combat works when your out of system. It was years ago but I believe that AI ships couldn't hit shit with the big slow guns when it's being rendered, but when it's out-of-system the game just did the math assuming everyone got 100% hits, so you you had to outfit ships totally differently depending on if you'd be around or not.... also some of the factory satellites take over 24 hours game time to produce one item? That'd be ok in Eve, or if it was real time, but really how many people even play 24 hours???

YESSS !!!!
A space shooter game, AND A PC EXCLUSIVE !!
Where do I pre-order? -
I look forward to being attacked by a truly massive Kha'ak! On another note, I hope they hired to the people who wrote the MARS and CODEA scripts. That stuff needs to be in the game from the start.

I thought I read somewhere that they weren't going to do anymore X games after TC? Not that I'm complaining. After playing X3:Reunion, my first X game, and bullying my way through the learning curve I've discovered an amazingly deep and incredibly fun space sim.
I enjoyed Freelancer too, quite a lot, but people that say they love space sims and then complain that X isn't like Freelancer don't like space sims. Freelancer is an action game in space, there's nothing sim about it. X series are space sims and deserving of the genre. Sure, they're difficult to pick up, but just about any sim is. Take the time to learn to play a sim, and you're rewarded with a deep, complex game.-

I'd like them to just blatantly copy Space Rangers 2, except in 3D.
That would be the best space game in existence.
Or at least fix the bloody path finding, it pretty much ruined the entire game. -
Finally a game for 2011 to actually look forward to. I was pretty bummed that ME3 has been pushed way back. SWTOR's release date is open to debate. But another chapter in the X Series is akin to news that MS has decided to release a Freelancer 2. I can't wait to see a solid release date on this, and to be able to place an order for it. For all of the so called 'experts' who claim that this genre is a dead genre, I'll bet the folks at Egosoft are laughing all the way to the bank. I hope we can expect the same great graphics and fine gameplay that we have come to expect from the others in the X Series. This is awesome news indeed.
