Outside of the stations, the game runs surprisingly well on my below-recommended system and it makes me think that the beefy requirements for recommended gameplay are based solely on the space stations. It was fun to walk around the stations, but I don’t particularly feel this was a necessary addition.
Framerate only became an issue for me when I was in stations as there were so many ships coming and going that combined with having to render a space for you to walk around in, it started to take a toll. You are, as they say, a leaf on the wind.įoundations marks the first time Egosoft has allowed you to walk around stations and it really has that freshman feel. It’s all very open-ended and you’re never tied to one faction or a mission. Missions can range from bounty hunting, delivering cargo, building stations, or my personal favorite, transporting VIPs. You earn favor by doing missions, which in turn will have the factions give you more missions.
The overarching objective outside of the main story is to earn credits or favor with the factions operating in the universe.
X REBIRTH COCKPITS SERIES
So if you’ve never played the X series before, this makes a good entry point as far as tutorials are concerned. As opposed to previous entries, there is much better guidance in the opening portions with mini-tutorials that introduce concepts and controls through showing and doing rather than just telling. Loot, escort, trade, kill, it’s all an option as the game never limits you so long as you have true grit. You are given free rein to do whatever you want, and you make your way in the universe any way you see fit. After you select your character, the universe is your oyster.
