About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. so the cockpit looks different, thought you could only own one ship so how did you get this one or is it a mod? new to game so from what i have read its a single ship throughout whole game.
2. Hi there, thanks for this informative vid. But how did you afford the freighter so early in the game? i'm just starting in free play, and am a bit overwhelmed.
3. the controls is something to get used to~
4. best way too make money is crafting early. Just buy scrap metal from junk dealers. Your gonne need a 1000 too make one metal thingy which will sell for 500k each
5. would you suggest this for a fan of space sims?
6. Bars are good, mariners need bars, and so will space mariners! ;D
7. If I can only fly in ONE SHIP, and ONE SHIP alone, then what separates this game from Elite: Dangerous?
   
   It seems to me that Egosoft abandoned the things that made the X games unique. And the replacement isn't as good as X3! Yeah, it's pretier... that's it. That's all I can really say about it.
   
   I installed the thing on my computer and played it for about a half hour, and it's just too annoying. I didn't even keep it installed in case I wanted to go back later. No doubts in my mind about that one.
   
   It's a shame that my experience with the X universe ends with X3. I really liked those games.
8. man can you do a new  review  for  4/2015 ////// is it a good buy
9. have you played any of the previous editions?  I'd be curious to know what you think of Albion Prelude.
10. Does that ship not have a tractor or whatever they call it (can just hit O to pull things in)?  That would keep from flying around all over to pick things up.....
11. Long range scanner in the Big Empty!
12. What mods are u using?Also is it worth doin the campaign.If not which free play is best.Cheers
13. "Look at the graphics, so epic." Yeah, then turn slightly to the right and look at your co pilot's face. Not so epic.
14. I'm going to give you some hint's as I watch. These are useful to me and might not be to you but anyway glad to see more exposure for X Rebirth.
    1) Long range scanner.
    1a) The long range scanner is very useful to make money but you can make more with crafting Metal Alloys with the scrap metal you loot from ships or buy from junk traders.
    1b) Get your self a police scanner as soon as you can as it will help you get allot better loot from the long range scanner.
    1c) While you are turning in a slow arc pulse the scanner constantly and listen for the high pitch ping.
    1d) The scanner used to be omnidirectional but now it is your view + an estimated 20-30 degree all round.
    1e) Activate external camera and change the direction of the pulse by the direction your view is facing using the numpad key's to direct it.
    1f) Selling the stuff (excluding Black market traders) you can do from space you don't need to dock. Take note of delivery cost when your do this.
    
    2) Licenses.
    2a) The items in your inventory that are yellow/orange are illegal, if you check the info on the item you can then see if a license would allow you to carry that item.
    
    3) Guidance
    3a) The marker if not visible you can open your mission manager to get more details, but you missed the pop up (tingle sound when ever it does activate 32:30 in your video) low in the middle of your HUD that said "Return to ship" as the target was not on that part of the station or even on another.
    
    4) Cam"pain" troubles.....
    4a) As you might have noticed the story line is very slow if regard to beefing up your ship and in fact you will find that you must down grade to activate the story line checks. Like the engineer you were talking about since you all ready had one you did not want to buy another one. But your player ship the Skunk has use for a Engineer and so does every capital ship and station. So you could have bought the guy and then assign him/her to another ship/station or simply fire them again chucking a lil money for progression sake.
    4b) Most of the time I found that if I have to buy a part for the story line, I can buy back what ever right after the objective changes and the story will continue.
    
    5) Get mods lots of mods :P
    5a) Start a backup of your save folder with a note of the mods needed for the save games. It's a pain in the butt to get a incompatible save to work again if you do not know what mods you had active at the time of saving.
    
    6) Try stuff in an experimentation/cheat save first, you can give your self money and build stations and ship to test them and see if you are happy with them. This helps that you don't waste money/time on your legit play and to better understand the way some of these costly things work. The saves are simple xml files and you can change allot of things in it. But do make backups!
    
    7) Enjoy and explore!
15. I will have to look again at X:R since Elite is a boring grind at the moment and Star citizen is not even on the horizon. Thanks for the vid!
16. This game is amazing, have you tried Elite Dangerous?
17. Thats one bright space.
18. It's cool that you can get out of the spacecraft and walk around without that spacesuit.
