Looks like drafting is gone and collisions are in? Like playing in traffic on the highway I guess, could be cool.

I'm concerned about them fixing performance issues, I remember this game ran like dog-shit on my computer regardless of graphics settings. I know it's CPU intensive but damn man.

What ship is that at the end of the video?
Maybe its a close-up of a smaller ship... looks big.
Holy cow! Thanks for asking!
Edit: and egosoft links to pdf guide on 2.0: http://www.egosoft.com/games/x_rebirth/features/2.0/XR_2.0_Manual.pdf
You are welcome, thanks for the heads-up too, I will jump back in when I have the time
Played a little bit last night on totally new save, put everything to max to see how it went. Opening scene is still terrible, was barely above 20fps, but after the afterburner scene I was sitting around 43fps and it held on pretty good to that for the most part and was above 30 even in a fairly well populated sector. I'll turn down the LOD, view and effect distances from 100 to like 60-75 which should hopefully get me some performance increase.
Still feels kind of jittery though even at 60fps. New cockpits are nice and interactions are more snappy. The combat cockpit is pretty nice except the HUD stuff is way too big and centered on the screen. I still prefer the Better Cockpits mod.
I'll have to put some more time in and see how the rest of it is, but really I don't have much of a desire to jump back in, especially with so many other games coming out now. It's definitely improved, but the baseline game was so lackluster that even with the changes the sour taste is still strong in my mouth when I think about it.

Interested to know this my self, for the same reasons. Have a few other game purchases this week so would like to see opinions before buying.
sad :-(
At release it was a 1/10, it's now maybe a 2.5.

The franchise is probably dead between SC, Elite, No Man's Sky, and Enemy Starfighter.
And it's their own damn fault, to boot. They could have ridden the space game wave. They could have released a modest-to-good game and stock up on mods and hype until the big guys show up, then release an expansion or two and rake in the big moneys.
But noooooo....
Dammit. Such a waste.

the issue is before it fit this niche that the ks space wave didn't really encompass... but now they try to become mainstream... yeah didn't work out that great.
We're still hard at work on 2.50 and have just released another private beta for L5 DevNet. Of course we want it to get to public beta soon but just not quite yet. Still, I'm able to pass the changelog as it stands right now.

Yep, its quite standard for this series.
And its different game than SC and Elite, it definitely has its own niche.
Ok guys, 2.5 Patch in Beta.
Version 2.50 Beta 7 (186307)
Ok, all the new features are awesome but man......the performance improvement with this build is CRAZY.
Really, I've gained an average of 30FPS, Ultra Settings w/ 4x AA on a 5870. Never below 35FPS, sector with fog and a lot of particle effect. Average frame rate of 50FPS, 60FPS for the small station, 40FPS into the big one
That is unbelievable.

This is the norm with the X series, it always seems to take a few years after release for them to really nail the vision they had.

Really cool of you guys. I am glad my belief in you guys to pre-order Rerbirth is being validated over time.

Yeah the developers are good guys, if you've followed their support of older games you shouldn't be worried. They'll support this game until they feel it's 'right', plus the community support and modding is always top draw.
Yes, BUT!
X-Rebirth is fundamentally different then all of the X Games before. And not in a good way.
I sunk over 1000 hours in the X Series from X beyond the Frontier through X3 Albion Prelude. I played all X Games.
They propably lost me as a customer with X-Rebirth. Only played it 2 hours.
They were always niche and then they try an effing Console Mainstream Game! 7 Years....
X needed trimming down. but not to this......
Don't really disagree with your disappointment, but at the least they seem to have realized their mistake. Look at the recent patch notes. They are definitely not patching it for mainstream audiences. Each patch seems to bring it closer to what it should have been at launch. That being said, I would have been much happier too with something like an X4 to begin with.
It's neat that they're giving out the first expansion for free. Well, free as long as we claim it during the window before release but I won't complain. More info at RPS.
That combined with the ongoing patches has kept my interest in the game. Granted I haven't played it lately but I'm going to jump into it again once I get my new PC built and it'll be like a new game for me after all the updates and new stuff.

Absolutely, it's a really great space sim

Missed this, there's also a new DLC out. I wonder if it's worth jumping back in yet.
New bulletin board is worth a try imo, if you haven't touched the game for a while there are also plenty of new addition
Looking forward for Home of Light, X3 feels are strong
Such a post release support for a game that is almost 3 years old is fucking incredible
To be honest, they released it three years to early.
Is the game more stable now? I would love try building my own galactic empire.
The technical issues are sorted out. It's still a really bad game though.
