hmm... guess the doors on the landing bays are a little, uh, clippy. :roll: only straight-up bug I've seen so far though. that and one guy walking on tables but other than that pretty ****** slick gents Hey, he *really* didn't like Obsidian. So much that he walked over his own desk so he could leav...

Heyyyyy, stop helping him Bernd. Let him struggle like we're gonna be struggling on Friday.

Seeing a highly respected member of the sci-fi gaming community puzzling out the menus and zig-zagging around trying to learn the UI & controls is of far more value to me then having a dev who's eminently familiar with the game showing it off to it's best advantage. +1. This is exactly the kind of ...

Obsidian is EXACTLY who I wanted to see streaming this first. Also, Foundations is looking nice and purdy.

There was also Preacher's Void.

That planet has an almost painterly grittiness to it that I don't understand. I will also agree with whoever mentioned it earlier, that it's weird to see the stars so vibrantly through the rings and clouds. Exactly...I remember this issue since back in the days of X3 reunion and persisted trough TC...

Yup, looks like I'm gonna buy this soundtrack.

Ooooooh, I LOVE underslung cockpits like this. The views are pretty, and vertical takeoff and landing are 300% easier.

You are going to love this one, then.

You are correct

Also, do we know what ship that is? ...It kind of looks like it could be the Centaur, maybe?

I honestly don't mind the absence of actual built-in "screens" in the cockpits, especially because every other "screen" you see in the X universe these days appears to just be a 2D holograph, or a collection of 2D holographs. If it's all just floating lights, it's super straightforward to standardiz...

I'd definitely be into it, especially if they came in two flavors: - A small sprinkling of hand-placed or semi-random wrecks of antiquated or unique ship designs waaaaaay off the beaten path... - Vessels that an AI faction actually did abandon or whose crew were killed for emergent reasons like comb...

Yeah, I think that's some kind of station module, not a ship.

Likelihood is low but I'm going to hope it's some kind of ridiculously long range Death-Star-grade laser cannon.

I like Alexei's work enough that sometimes I find myself playing tracks from X3 and Rebirth while playing other games.

Holst (The Planets, obvs) and Sibelius are also pretty excellent for tooling around in a space sim.

might have to repeat the pizza in honour of the best design decision in the history of X Universe :mrgreen: In a rare alliance, both NYC and Chicago take issue with the absence of cheese on this pizza. Don't listen to Chicago, though, their pizza is basically soup in a bread bowl. :P (Chicago style...

I'm really digging the ubiquitous, *actually* informative holographic signage around the stations and the highway repeater rings.

I wonder how accessible the signage is to modders...

I'm going to consider this whole thread to be "pics or it didn't happen" territory.

I do not kill mass traffic ships.

That is... that is my LEAST favorite thing to do.

Don't think there was ever any kind of "red alert" alarm though. Hoping there is such a thing this time around.

Of course, I strongly suspect this is moddable if it's not vanilla.

Mass traffic was supposed to flow wares between stations in XR but wasn't effiencent enough… Only purpose it can have IMO, can't it? That's the most logical use I could think of - sort of a passive, zone-local ware distribution system. Since ships and stations now have crews and workers, they could...
