With optional expansion paths, and multi-ware requirements and production. Station's are also naturally complexes without all the ugly tubes, and difficult set up. And fleet commands are regularly getting expanded on in patches.Īlso X Rebirth's engine is designed to be way more modable, removing some of the limitations of the old ones (I don't know specifics, I'm not a modder.)

But while still leaving Capital Ships to be a challenge to take down until you get the hang of it. But the ship can be upgraded to be a extremely powerful and versatile ship. Obviously by the 300 other discussions only one ship is pilotably. Yes there are currently still a few bugs with highways, but capitals ships can now speed around the systems using a combination of jumpdrives and boosters.

Then there is the pacing, X Rebirth tosses out the hack that was SETA and actually makes gameplay faster. Meanwhile X Rebirth lets you place orders and reserve goods, a far more realistic and enjoyable mechanic once you get the hang of it, also the Trading Computer that stores trade offers (when coupled with the built in Trade Agents) makes it really easy to find places to buy low and sell high. Everything is first come first serve until you get a closed loop production complex. Anyhow just wanted to clear up your slight misconception.My biggest problem with previous X Titles is the trading mechanics. It is more of, multiple players playing the same single player game in parallel. :Dįrom what I have seen of Elite, it deffinately isn't an X game, however it isn't a MP focus. I suggest you (to the op) again buy the game(s) which is for your liking they are entirely different games with different content and aspects.įor single player content get any of the X gamesįor shiny pew pew where you barely can do anything other that pew pew or trading etc without npcs and it's stops there since it wont have station building, nor manufacturing etc.īut if you ever going to get E:D i suggest that you wait for a few years until they release paid DLCs with content.Īrgh i bited again.

I have to disagree as i sunk hundreds of hours into Elite: Dangerous already.Įlite: Dangerous is an empty wasteland compared to any of the X games content wise.Īlso elite is focusing on multiplayer (mostly) no single player option just "solo" aka background simulation (also called DRM by other players) while the X games are single player My advice would be to buy Elite: Dangerous as fast as your clicks can carry you there, and never buy a single game made by Egosoft again.
#X rebirth vs elite dangerous series#
X Rebirth - a game that had high expectations based on a series of fantastic predecessors, promised to continue the tradition, and put out this horrible title that has singlehandedly undone all the good work of all the people that worked on the X games previously.Įgosoft (X Afterbirth) couldn't be more polar-opposite than Frontier (Elite) as far as companies go. Αναρτήθηκε αρχικά από Uzrael:Elite: Dangerous - a game that had massive expectations based on an incredible predecessor, promised the world and then delivered, and continues to deliver, in spades. Like X-Tension did for X-Beyond the Frontier.įor now I'm happy with the Skunk, but I understand people wanting more variety. I'm still hoping for a DLC that opens up more ships, a stand alone expansion, or at the very least a sequal to X Rebirth is most likely going to have the option for multiple ships. I agree it wasn't the greatest decision since it is obviously a big selling point for many old time fans. Though probably being a better trading- and empire-building game than previous X-games (and deeper than E:D), it breaks the immersion in the space-sandbox-game. Granted, X: BTF had only one ship too, but the story was short and there wasn't much left to do if you did beat it (unlike X2 and the X3-trilogy). I mean, being restricted to smaller ships like fighters and corvettes would've been fine for me, battleships got boring after X2 - but one ship over aaaaaaall those hours you can sink into X-games is just awful.
