The way I did it was by approaching the start zone with the travel drive already on but drifting extremely slowly (as in less than 20m/s) in flight assist off mode (it took a couple tries to nail down both the speed and the direction). That way you are still somehow building up speed so you skip tha...

This looks an awful lot like the Xperimental shuttle, I wonder if there is supposed to be a connection...

@Imperial Good Don't take this wrong, but either my idea of a zone is incorrect, or your descriptions are: The big hexagon is a star system and the next size down are zones, yes? Well your idea of zones is incorrect. What you call big hexagons are star systems yes, smaller ones are sectors. Zones a...

Are you perhaps flying a captured venture ship? I remember this being a bug when they rolled that feature out so it might be the same.

I have sometimes encountered enemies that have lost their hitbox (shots passing through their models), though I have not played since 1.5 but it might be a similar issue.

Unfortunately, with this new dynamic galaxy plugging in plots will be quite difficult. Especially if you already have an evolved galaxy with sectors belonging to new owners etc. But I'm sure technically it's still doable. Well they could just tie plot start conditions to factions actually owning th...

The universe in the base game is just too small, It's actually fairly large but they are lined up in a circle and there is a highway connecting the core sectors making everything be at a short distance. It would be much better if the loop wouldn't exist, or if at the very least the highway wouldn't...

From the outside at least it doesnt look very justified/ seems like there should be a looot of room for optimization. Don't really have a lot to say at this point, I mostly agree with that particular point I just thought I'd pop back in and say that it was fun having a proper civilized argument wit...

That archaic rule may apply to arcade games, shootemups and so on. Not for games that simulate stuff, sandboxgames. Not for games that have a very long progression arc (single ship to galactic empire). Especially not games like that, that are seated in SPACE and require things to be larger than a C...

Jumpdrive I agree that it can be fixed but it'd be very tricky. In stellaris the jumpdrive has a downside to using it that being that during the recharge period your ships are significantly weaker in combat so you can use it to respond to a threat but you might be better off with taking the time to...

Endgame i consider the... Yeah I can see your point now, and yes it is somewhat lacking in this aspect, though there really never have been a proper endgame in this respect in the seires. I still believe that the war system could be turned into this if it is improved a lot though, but that we will ...

There is NO extra gameplay that prolongs "Endgame" whatsoever. No sector takeover, no faction or adversaries that respond to your actions to make it more difficult and engaging. So out of curiosity what do you envision to be extra gameplay that prolongs the "endgame"? Sector takeovers are a thing n...

"Big things" - depends on perspective. Nothing changed the endgame in X3 titles or XR.

So you wouldn't consider getting new plots (including one where you can acquire your own sector) in X3TC, the entirety of X3AP or getting 3 new star systems along with new ships in XR big?

Feels like egosoft threw us into a big test level while the real universe is getting built somewhere...

dont hold your breath

Unless something massive has changed at egosoft then there will be big things coming as they have since several games back.

The most likely thing that I can think of is that you have built storage modules that are significantly larger than required by the station so it takes a long time for it to fill up to a comfortable level and the manager keeps requesting money to fill it's holds. My first station did this for a very...

I'd be interested in finding out what happens if you find all the data vaults. The Boron gives you a mission after you scan the first one, and the counter goes up each time you scan a new one (1/28, then 2/28 etc). What happens when you get 28/28? Apart from unlocking all the lore nothing unfortuna...

No, no no, you need to use repair laser the pressure leak thingies. They glow red and once you use your repair laser on them they will turn green and stuff will change on the data vault (solar panels shifting, doors opening up), just keep in mind that there might be more pressure leak panels hidden ...

Yeah this is planned to be added in a future update.

Kha'ak ... got practically annihilated by operation final fury. ...or so we thought © Considering how little of them there are they are pretty much annihilated. Like the smallest Kha'ak cluster is what 5 ships? The most I've seen at once is 3, and their considering how pathetic their base defences ...

Personally I'd categorise HAT as a privateer faction, just very wierd one. Also when did the Kha'ak become mysterious? It's a race of bugs that wanted to kill everyone cause the paranids mined their planet (or something like this) and they couldn't differentiate between the community races but then ...
