Thanks for the opinion, like arseholes they are I guess.

Anyway, this is a space sim group, and the X games are space sims, and many 
people enjoy them. So instead of posting an inane response just go check it 
out. The game has been improved on by the people who played the first two 
games.

I.e. the fans had direct imput into MOST aspects of this game, egosoft 
formed a group called DevNet and let fans with scripting/economic etc 
experience in the X games in it. They've all contributed and frankly I think 
this game is going to be fantastic. Larger, more free form sectors, better 
scale aspects due to a bloody good looking engine, better economy, in fact 
this is a major thing, the economy is going to be much more on the "alive" 
side of things than it was in the previous X's. Other NPC's will be in 
competition, direct and indirect with the PC, they will be trying to form 
their own empires, explore, capture ships, and so on. You can choose to 
interact with these NPC's by taking them on or you can ignore them and just 
play the plot missions.

Anyway, thats this arseholes opinion :)
