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 :) Ceo-
