"thrilling new storyline which takes place outside of the X4 sandbox" this is the bit I'm not sure about, it could be a good thing or

What I do know is having spent a lot of time and effort setting up and acquiring fleets and assets in X4 is I like to be able to use them in stories and plots.

So I think what has happened (my opinion if you like) is X4 has levelled up so many area's of game over the years its left 'NPC AI and decision making' exposed as being the weakest link. So naturally every time there is an update players want to know how its progressed... For me personally its the s...

There are a range of missions that tell stories in X4 once you have the DLCs, there is not an over arching story though. imho what X4 does well is set the player up with multiple different start scenarios and then gives the sandbox for the player to grow in whatever way they choose, what it lacks im...

That is very much the key here. All the different starts are intended as introductions to the game with benefits as loosely guided tutorials too. They need to be looked at mainly through the eyes of a player newer to X4. ah but that is a choice made by the mission designer, it didn't have to be lik...

For lore purposes, it could be that the ancients decided to realign the gates again. So it would only be gate connections that would change, not accelerators or superhighways. Those would stay the same, keeping systems intact, so that Silent Witness, or Grand Exchange, for example, wouldn't be brok...

The kingdom End plot missions though... You make contact, explore a bit, lay down a path through a dangerous sector, connect more sectors, meet some royalty and do a bunch of trivial diplomatic type missions, the end. Really is that it or did I miss something? :gruebel: Helping them to get all the ...

It could work I guess along the lines of 7Days to Die however you would I think have the challenge of intentionally building area's of conflict and production weakness which I assume is hand crafted by Egosoft atm and then of course down to how the game plays out with faction aims and player interve...

So let me start off by saying I'm loving the new Boron assets and sectors etc, very good very nice... :boron: The kingdom End plot missions though...

7800x3d if your primary workload is gaming
7950x3d if you game and use demanding productivity apps regularly

I use a 7800X3D with a 4090 myself, I don't think X4 will use the additional cores of the 7950 in any meaningful way tbh X3 certainly won't

Fix confirmed in 6.2 beta 3 nice one

in the base or vanilla game you can change the turrets, weapons, engines & shields of ships by docking them at a Warf or Shipyard but you can't transform the ship itself a frigate will always be a frigate. However you can buy or build different classes of ships and have them co-exist at the same tim...

I came to report exactly the same problem - 6.20 public beta 2 After the mission dialogue for Audience with her Majesty appears to end Numanckuret asks you to 'follow me' but the game doesn't release you from the scripted mission and return control to you. The game is still running but you can't acc...

Did the new engine improve performance for anyone else?

I can't tell tbh not objectively as I upgraded my GPU between Tides of Avarice and Kingdoms End, I don't have performance issues anymore now which is good where as even an RTX 3080 was causing issues during Split Vendetta era...

Woo-hoo we're here

All up and running, the only thing I had to do was drop MSAA to 2X in order to maintain decent framerates in 4k ultra I can live with that

The trick to get past the quirks and 'frustrations' is learning how to do something the Egosoft way, I know I know it should be intuitive to the player and yes there is too much micro-management but I telling you that your life and experience will be better once you go with it...

I think a lot of players will appreciate what is coming, as wish lists go it covers most of the key area's
