I'd love if CoH soundtrack would be release a few days before the game on Steam.

I hope for footage of remaining unseen combat ships, like Gunboat, Frigate and Auxilary ship.

Holy-damn-fantastic trailer!

Defiently best one made by Egosoft.

Now going back for replay frame by frame.


Edit:
- The "sail ship" (Auxilary ship?) is definetly my favorite.
- 1:28 Massive Terran station with 6xLarge Pier ring.
- the strange, flat terran M-size ship at 2:09 (right pad) - Gunboat? Another corvette? The ship to the left - is it Split Cobra or Terran frigate? hard to tell.
- the same two M-szie ships are docked at the top of sail ship at 1:54 - I think that left ship is not Split Cobra, but Terran frigate.
- Terran bridge and NPC at 2:15
- 2:40 Terran battleship XL grade beam - finally a powerful beam like in Freespace 2.

The Torus seems to have been rebuilt!

Edit: the sail ship looks amazing, and behing, there are ships that look like ATF's one!

Amazing Trailer, Your killing me with the wait for the release.
We don’t know what paradise is like, but probably it’s blue magenta, flecked with pink. But even if it’s green and red-checked we should make the most of it. -Boron saying

If you take a close look at the right edge you'll notice the wreckage texture. So I think it's more like a small section which survived the destruction.

Yep - probably some kind of memorial station, like USS Arizona memorial in Hawaii.

Maybe we may participate as a kind of terraforming mission to rebuild the whole Torus?

The jumpgate of neptune is different from the ones you find in the X-Universe : it has been built by terrans in X3TC to connect to the Aldrin sectors. It's part of the lore.

We actually went another route this time around and had a community member (Tomonor) do the trailer (in close cooperation with us of course). We had noticed him from his own X4 videos on his YouTube channel :)

2:27 have me confused - Yaki capship? Yaki station module? It doesn't seems to be Terran, nor having Terran turrets.

I though it might be the side of Syn, but we have Syn footage at 2:31 where it looks completely different.

Could be part of a station defense module - or several for that matter.
