We are pleased to announce the release of 2.50, which introduces some new features to X4: Foundations as well as fixing a number of issues with the game. We have added a whole new class of Auxiliary ships, and associated resupply orders, to help you support your fleet. We have also added a blacklist feature to enable your ships to avoid dangerous areas, and new inventory management functionality so that items collected by your pilots can be transferred to you or to a safe location. Also with this release, the Linux version of the game is now available to all players, and Tobii eye-tracking is supported for those of you playing on Windows. Full release notes are available here. Rest assured that this release is just part of our ongoing program of fixes and features, and that the focus of our next update will be on improvements to the in-game economy....
