2. That one's on my radar too...

even though I'd probably have to upgrade my computer first. Love the idea of actually being "in" your spaceship, moving around, having a crew and being able to land and walk around the space stations. I thought the lack of cockpit graphics in X3: Terran Conflict broke immersion, and I kinda missed the "internal" docking ports from X2 in X3.

I think the success of X: Rebirth will hinge on how they implement the fact that you only directly fly one ship; part of the fun is flying a bunch of different ships, and a single ship can't be everything to everyone and all play styles. So it'll be interesting to see how they implement the remote piloting of your fleet, whether it's entirely menu driven, or you can actually control them directly. Since I play as a trader I generally fly a freighter, so I wonder if I'd end up just sitting in a corner of a map doing a lot of remote flying.
