"like Minecraft, but so much bigger"

"Best game ever!" says my son, 9 years old.

I am tempted to print them on advertisements

Thanks!

Really sad to hear. Thanks for the update, and thanks to Steel for the visit!
Paul will be remembered!

This really hurts. For many years now, Paul you have been a cornerstone of this forum both as moderator and contributor. I was shocked to hear about your diagnosis and am now very sad. You are a true role model and helped to shape our community for years. It is a great honour for us to have a messag...

https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundations/comments/tvesy7/trade_fight_build_think/ Sorry for doing it only on reddit, but I was was starting it there and it would be nice to have all answers in one place. Of course you can still post interesting alternative options here (like the Delegate I just heard ...

There is a boron pirate already with rising crime record: - stolen station - murdering people, multiple accounts - playing with forbidden technology, multiple accounts - breaking security of multiple nations, multiple accounts - blatant disregard to the general law as well as subordinates working c...

Thanks, Bernd. Update, by the way: had a PET scan on Monday to figure out how much (if any) of the cancer is left and thus what the next steps are. Those sure are weird--it's when you get injected with the marker stuff from a distance of four feet so the radiographer isn't anywhere near you that yo...

Hello Paul, Hello Gav, not normally reading the forums a lot and the off topic one even less so, but my wife found this thread today. Just starting to read up on this and am so sorry to hear about both of your situations. Wish you all the strength both physically and psychologically!!! Stay strong! ...

(Kopie von meinem YT Kommentar): Ich höre immer wieder in Interviews, das dies und jenes nicht geht, weil man sich da gedanklich zu festgefahren hat meiner Meinung nach. Ich tue mir einfach mit manchen Begründungen schwer, warum irgendwas nicht geht (Vorallem sind es oft keine technischen Probleme,...

Hello everyone, Unfortunately, the start of the 4.10 beta has been significantly delayed up to now, so I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight our current work and give you an overview of what we have already achieved. The 4.10 beta was planned to start immediately after the release of X4: Cr...

Hallo allerseits, leider hat sich der Start der 4.10 Beta bisher deutlich verzögert und deswegen wollte ich Euch an dieser Stelle unsere aktuelle Arbeit erklören und eine Übersicht dessen geben was wir schon erreicht haben. Planung unserer Arbeiten: Eigentlich war die 4.10 beta unmittelbar nach der ...

NVidia just informed us, that the latest beta driver on the following page, might contain a fix for the infamous 30xx crash that many of you might experience. https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver If you have been affected by this, please try out this driver and contact me if the game crashes a...

Flee is triggered after the first hit already happened and therefore travel drive is already aborted. If the ship is not able to get back into travel drive, because the attacker is faster and manages to fire quickly enough, then the ship can not get away no matter for which order. Continuing its las...

The intention here is for the player to make a trade off between either more micromanagement (taken to the extreme, by actually going into the sector and ending a local Khaak threat for a longer period of time for example) OR simply throwing more money at the problem either by assigning fighters OR...

Some people in this thread are worried about depletion increasing the need for micro management of their mining fleets: Depletion has always been a possibility. Inside a region, when smaller areas deplete, mining ships move automatically as the miner autonomously decides where inside the region to f...

Thank you very much to everybody who has participated in yesterdays survey. Here is the result of the most important question: Screenshot 2021-02-16 at 20.46.29.png While the majority of you agree with changing the main asteroid fields along the highway ring, there are still a quarter of you who don...

Hello everybody, you may have noticed that during the last couple of beta versions of 4.0, we have made a number of balancing changes that all affect all types of mining (especially notable when some changes broke the economy in one beta). The general goal is to make mining more interesting but not ...

Hi guys, and 5.0 already in the plans of course). With 5.0 are you going to consider a character creation? Not something fancy just as we pick a start eg Young Gun, to be able to select gender (no race) and a pre-selected avatar which do not need to be many. Just 2 per gender per race. There are mo...

Very likely more than 50% More than 50% is necessary. I once made deep analysis of the economy and the margins are sometimes 800% or higher. So 50% reduction would mean that a ship would still give your 4 times the money back when you buy the resources for average price. That is a no brainer. I mad...

I mentioned it elsewhere but, as much as I complain here, I do enjoy the game a lot! As you say one of the strengths of X4 is the variety of ways you can play it, hence one persons feature is another persons problem. For me the biggest issue is the out-of-sector vs in-sector combat discrepancy. I u...

- Shipyards: We did consider for a while, to require players to have special contracts with factions in order to sell ships to a war faction and actively retaliate in case you would sell to two factions at once, but decided against it. Income per ship will still be reduced dramatically with the fin...
