The X universe is undergoing a period of massive change. What started as a conflict of interest between the Earth and the races of the X Universe has now escalated into a full scale war. Play a part in a war scenario bigger than anything the X Universe has ever seen before!

With the war as a backdrop, corporations are vying for power and are driving the X Universe in a new direction. A technological breakthrough will soon allow massive accelerators, forming highways in space and allowing the economy to expand in an unprecedented scale. Highways, a key feature of X Rebirth, are not yet ready, but you can see them being built and participate in the power struggles around the construction of much larger self sustaining economies.

Key Features:

• A new plot throws you into the power struggle between corporations at a time of war.
• More than 30 new ships and stations
• New Stock Exchange feature allows advanced investment strategies
• Improved graphics quality setting for high-end machines
• Improved user interface introducing charts to visualize economic developments
• Support for head tracking
