| 3 | * ExecutiveMeddling: It has been argued that the broken state ''Rebirth'' shipped out in was a result of deadlines set by Deep Silver, though no direct evidence is available. According to the developers themselves, ''the game's very existence was this.'' They originally wanted to go straight into making X4. |
| 4 | * ProductionNickname: ''TNBT'', short for "the next big thing". |
| 5 | * ScheduleSlip: Originally set for release in fourth quarter 2011, but the season came and went with no specific release date. Some fans were half-convinced it had become {{vaporware}} due to a lack of information. (The devs and beta testers were barred from talking freely about it thanks to non-disclosure agreements.) CBJ, the one dev who post on the forum on a regular basis, consistently denied this to be the case, and on August 8 ''Rebirth'' was announced for a November 15, 2013 release. |
| 6 | * TroubledProduction: X Rebirth went through major hassles in its development. The very game's existence was due to the fact Egosoft's former publisher, Deep Silver, forced them to release a product made with the new engine they had developed for [=X4: Foundations=]. The game also went through several iterations, one of which was supposed to be an Xbox 360 game. The current version of the game still bears some remnants of that version, the enhanced controller support and the big A in the interface menu being the most noticeable of them. The rocky launch and the ExecutiveMeddling ended up being the last straw for Egosoft, who went on to publish X4: Foundations themselves. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Storywise, the game was originally going to be set a thousand years after the gates shut down, instead of the 25 of the final game. Also, the Dark would've been caused by a supernova, instead of a firebreak by the [[{{Precursors}} Ancients]] to stop the Xenon from spreading further. |
| 8 | * WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: The aforementioned CBJ [[http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=4027277#4027277 calls fans out]] on the [[BrokenRecord endless whining]] about there being very little news from Egosoft about ''X Rebirth'' for about a year and a half. When they were posting a screenshot a week, people started demanding more info and videos, at which point ES basically said "screw this." |
| 9 | --> '''shea:''' But i still cant understand why a few screenshots every week cant be posted,\ |
