I've been playing X Rebirth, look what I found!

Anyone recognizes this little toy? )

X Rebirth...I am unfamiliar with that game...

It was a crashed hypetrain, I had to run 25 mods to get all the features I needed, but over two years it received significant updates which fixed and added everything players were complaining about. I'm playing completely unmodded and it's like a new game to me now.

Someone posted that a while ago, but wasn't in this area, it was hidden behind a container.

So, to ask a slightly dumb question:

If I had played and enjoyed all the previous X games, but avoided Rebirth, because it seemed like a departure from the series staples of setting up vast trading fleets and factory complexes, is it worth giving it a look now?

Specifically, are you still restricted to flying one ship?

Can you buy other ships, and command them similar to X3?

X Rebirth also has the building and trading section. I love building new stations and colonize new systems in X-R, the strategy section of the game is quite deep and challenging. Stations can have many extensions and upgrades to efficiency, storage, defence/firepower. Station manager oversees trading and mining ships. You can open your stations to free trading and adjust prices. Gazing how your empire breathes and works feels very enchanting.

Unfortunately you can't change your main ship, you can only dock to a bigger one in your fleet and order it around, it's just you don't have a direct control over it, only captain orders.

You are still limited to that one command ship in base game. But there are still mods that let you fly capital ships from the bridge and stuff. Trading fleets and factories can still be built like before, as far as I know.

X series is somewhat the grandfather of all Sci-fi games, german producers, high quality, very difficult longterm singleplayer action. Cool!

Interesting. Well, on the wishlist it goes to await a suitable sale.
