The steering responds directly to commands. You take off smoothly, circle seamlessly around space stations, freighters and through asteroid fields. The gaming experience with the gamepad is completely different. ClickingВ through on-screen menus on the lookout for docking stations, missions or conversation partners, quickly drives you insane. Not fun with aВ mouseДЇor creatures of habit among the X - gamblers, it may be a painful experience, but the mouse has had its day. Even with targeted hunting of pirates you can improve relations with space stations and therefore claim benefits, such as price reductions. One annoying thing about orders is that if the police destroy the same pirate ship that you are meant to attack for an order, then the mission fails.ДЇor successfully completing missions you get money and your reputation increases. The deployment description also includes the difficulty level of the task. The missions in X Rebirth include passenger transport or various combat missions, from the contract killing of the patrols to defending the sector. On the stations you can talk to people, trade or hire specialists and top up the crew. In this case you leave the cockpit and stroll on foot through the station in the Ego-Perspective.

Vigilantes scan passing ships for banned cargo.ДЄ new feature in X Rebirth allows you to enter stations.

Quite often they form a big tangle of transporters that crisscross each other like in rush hour. There are many ships orbiting the stations. In the spaceship you can orbit one of these complexes and get your fill of the many details: solar panels, shimmering energy cells, neon signs, share prices on trading platforms, entertainment modules with light shows and the like. The buildings are of unprecedented size and complexity. Neither space stations nor factories are new to the X universe, but X Rebirth stations take their size to extremes. In contrast, the new transport system also works with hundreds of players - a technical forerunner of a possible future X Online. What's even better is that the space highways also solve another problem on the side, one that had, until now, stood in the way of a possible online version of the X Universe: time manipulation is not possible in the collaborative game. The absence of the Sinza time acceleration makes the transport system in X Rebirth more believable than in previous X - installments. You pass through a jump gate and follow a multi-colored tunnel to the destination. The leap into neighboring sectors also works in a similar way. If you hang in the slipstream of other faster ships, you'll make even betterВ progress. In the long corridors, the spaceship gains thrust. X Rebirth dispenses with these kinds of clever tricks by allowing you to merge onto space highways at any time. Previous X - installments had time manipulators to overcome long distances. The initial game hours are devoted solely to finding your way around and to the game mechanics.Д¬rossing space without help is a time-consuming process in X Rebirth. A tutorial makes the junior space pilot familiar with the first maneuvers and slowly introduces him or her to the story of X Rebirth. So large, in fact, that you initially feel tiny and a bit lost. It's clear right from the first few minutes of X Rebirth that everything is a little larger than you're used to from most other current games.
