or a steadily increasing xenon threat - starts very small and inoffensive, and builds up over time unless you reduce the shipyards producing more of them. TBH I'm happy its not overrun already, I like to get those traders going without them suiciding in Hatkivah. The defense station is getting batte...

Frankly, mod the game. You don't lose anything that affects your enjoyment doing so. (my experience of this is that if you do mod, some of them add paint ot the trader menu and suddenly you can get 1000s fo paint jobs in your inventory that clutters it up massively. Pick a few good ones and skip the...

I miss the ships that aren't designed for head-on attacks; most of them have frontal assault capabilities except for the "Raptor" and Supply Ships... It's true that in the latest DLCs, we see more ships designed like that, but it would be fun to see ships with strong lateral and rear attacks. In my...

I know you guys love the most obscure and obtuse UI possible, but putting "load game" inside what is effectively a "start new game" option as most people would see it, is bad even by your standards :) If you must have different menu items on that screen, then it really should be "play new game" at t...

though I ignored it as a minor glitch, this also happened to Dal Busta at the start of my Hatkivah questline.

Cosmetic issue only, but I never saw this happen in the 6.0 release.

Apparently you fixed this "bug", but its not. I scan the nav beacons, then the Owl appears with instructions to drop a nav beacon into the cloud. So I do so, I go to the cloud and drop a beacon while travelling so it keeps going a short distance into the cloud. The Owl is close to the edghe, but sti...

I thought this already was in place - top right you see the components, along with a total for the bits needed. You may need to open the drop-down menu to see them.

I don't know where you get the idea that the game is "incompatible" with some SSDs. There was an issue with a particular setting in some SSD software (Samsung Magician) a while back, but no incompatibility. It still says in the troubleshooting thread Game on Samsung or Crucial SSD not starting and ...

The one QoL feature I'd like is to filter ships ont he main owned ship asset list to hide some of them. Right now, that list can hide ships that are assigned ot other things - like a station or fleet, but often I have severla ships doing their own thing (eg mining) that are stuck there. I cannot sen...

and have pirates steal your own ship while on station, right.... right? What's good for you is good for NPCs too, why can;t they hack your ships if you can hack theirs? I don't like the idea, and TBH I don't like that most captures are just 2and now its yours" without any involvement from the author...

I too would like to see an overall update on boarding. One that includes M class ships too - as some of those M freighters are absolutely boardable. In fact, I'd consider boarding those to whisk away the valuables as the primary goal of pirates - right now they seme to shoot and run away with nothin...

Then its easy - the ship you scrap does not turn into 100% of the component cost. If you get 80% back, plus "scrap" then there isn't an economic advantage to scrapping. It becomes a extra feature of the game, one that is already catered for by mods.

1) Bring back turrets on cap ships we can control 2) Use procedural generated planets and put landing areas we can go down to that we can even build bases on if we want. 3) Add a much more robust battle management system for Command control, including much better control of fighters, corvettes and ...

TBH a lot of the game needs an overhaul so an "albion foundation" would be welcome if it provided tweaks and fixes to the shortcomings and missed opportunities of x4. For example, missiles are bad - not because the missile are bad, but because of how you have to organise them as replacements for tur...

I always wondered why there was medical supplies anyway, surely they'd be included in the general groceries that is food supply, and an extra supply would be "consumer goods" so your workers can buy all those little things they want. And then that can be more moral-based until new supply arrives. ie...

I thought 6.2 had better cap ships v station AI but in a quick test post update I find that my Rattlesnake still gets caught by a Xonon shipyard (which, I'm cool about, it is to be somewhat expected given rattler gun range). However, my 2 behemoths then proceeded to commit suicide after blowing up a...

IIRC there's a known bug where the game simply doesn't load from Crucial SSDs.
I had this, started the game and nothing but blank screen. There's a thread that mentions this. Moved to a different drive and everything started working. So if you've upgraded your drive in the meantime, could be this.

I don't either, 1. it doesn't make sense that different alien races would use each other's technology. Does the German Air Force use Chinese missiles on their fighters? No, and they're living on the same planet! No, they don't use Chinese missiles. They use Israeli, American and many "joint develop...

There could be a decay setting associated with the towers. So that they auto destroy after some time elapsed. If that were implemented it would totally eliminate their use as static defences. Yep, that's OK. They're little defensive tools for a short while before burning out or running out of batte...

you could easily do this right now. Game starts up, looks in /My Documents/My Games/Egosoft. If it finds stuff all well and good. If it doesn't, then it tries again only this time looking in /My Documents/Egosoft. And if it still doesn't find anything, then its first startup, fresh install like it i...
