According to the company, this is a new engine from scratch and one of the design goals was to make use of multiple threads / cores. Moreover, a leaked screenshot revealed that there will be a cockpit view."

More action oriented this time? That could be both a good and a bad thing. I hope they retain the depth but at the same time make it more accessible and the good parts about the game easier to come across. I've just recently started playing the game and while I'm enjoying aspects the environments seem to be rather dull. At times I feel as though I'm just flying around a series of empty interconnected rooms without interest or diversity. Still haven't started my empire and I'm still flying around in my Sabre so hopefully I'll figure out how to get to the meaty parts of the game before I lose interest.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this and I hope they can polish the game because with X3:TC I feel like I have to struggle to have fun at times.
Love this series, but it is not for the faint at heart, eventually after many months you will start to get better, building trade routes , space stations, mining etc... Many people play this for years and years and never get bored.
Hope they sort out those nebula areas. I never played Terran Conflict so i dunno if it was fixed, but in Reunion they did mah head in.
Spent so much time playing The Threat.
