Modding is easier, as the game uses a more powerful XML based scripting language rather than the old in-game Script Editor from the previous games, and gives modders more control over the game, including the physics engine.Sectors have been replaced by proper star systems, which have points-of-interest (Zones) connected via highways and super-highways that accelerate ships to truly insane velocities.Capital ship combat is more epic, with each capital ship having dozens of independent shield generators, engines, turrets, and hangars.Space stations are built of dozens of production and storage components which are assembled into massive space cities, replacing the haphazard ' spaghetti stations' complexes of the previous games.Player-owned ships are actually piloted by a hired crew, who can augment the ship's abilities, such as an engineer being able to slowly repair the ship on-the-fly. The 'one ship' change: The player pilots a single ship rather than multiple ships in exchange for the ability to deploy a variety of drones, more customization, and the ability to walk around the ship.Key differences from the previous games include: After working for the Heart of Albion alongside Yisha, Plutarch tries to detain Otani - right as the Albion jumpgate sputters back into life. Yisha Tarren, a Heart of Albion agent, acts as the co-pilot and manages some of the Skunk's systems after she was rescued by Otani. You captain the Pride of Albion / Albion Skunk, a one-of-a-kind multi-purpose corvette that has seen better days after sitting derelict for decades. You are Ren Otani, a starship pilot in the long-isolated Albion system, now controlled by the megalithic Plutarch Corporation. The seventh game in the X-Universe series, X Rebirth takes after the collapse of the Jump Gate network following the Second Terraformer War of X3: Albion Prelude.
