The early-early game is usually a chore, to get the first million credit is usually a bothersome task. Not having Teleportation, even the basic one, and SETA really makes you lose a lot of time. That is a good point. Honestly, getting the HQ and teleportation up and running is what I dislike(d) the...

It may not fit in a traditional 4X game, but X4 fills the niche of the player being a part / a citizen of the universe. Or the other way around, it is a first person game but unlike GTA, the entire world around you actually lives and has a purpose. And IMO that makes X4 so appealing. Egosoft definit...

I really like the Free Families Split Start, where you are forced to use civilian ships because the occupying Zyarch family attacks all military ships. Makes an interesting early game scenario! However, it is too easy fleeing to any other faction which sees you as neutral or friendly. And the reputa...

I know what you mean, the "E" naming bothers me as well. Would have expected a name in the "Vanguard" and "Sentinel" scheme, like Behemoth "Ascendant", "Sovereign", "Apex" or something like that and not just plain "E". The E naming scheme looks so weird. Like before Apple made it cool to name stuff ...

An Observation deck module? Could it be for real? Got our prayers heard?

Maybe bad timing to start this poll, at the same time as the new update today with the endgame content.

I absolutely LOVE early-game in X4. The closer you get to end-game the more you play solely on the map and the rest of the 3d game presentation becomes just clutter. Also the world-interactions are very limited in end-game. Every decision and every information I need is on the map and nowhere else. ...

Thanks guys.

So I hear Putin is massaging the country to prepare for forever war with the West. In case you missed it, US is officially being accused of terrorist attack on Russian soil - do you think that's an act of war in the Kremlin minds? I missed that apparently. Any citations? German media only reports P...

Really difficult question. - I like the Terran faction and overall look and feel. It also had a nicely done storyline. - I also liked the ships and the sectors of Split, the story was not so good but the universe expansion is crucial for X4. - ToA is one of my favourites, I absolutely love the ship ...

From all what we know so far, the recent events in Russia are not related to the Ukraine war - at the time of this writing, that is.

Please stay on topic.

Please be respectful towards the victims.

Dune 2 in the cinema here is completely booked out for the next 2 Weeks, so I did not have the chance to see it so far :D I only watched the first part on my TV but definitely looking forward to see it on the big screen and sound stage. :D Binged the Live Action Avatar The Last Airbender series on N...

Ja ich meine das z.b. Elektronikkomponenten Verlust machen können. Wenn der Einkaufspreis der Waren zu hoch und der Verkaufspreis zu niedrig ist. Laut Enzyklopädie und ingame Werten liegen die Zwischenprodukte für Geschützkomponenten insgesamt die Einheiten zusammengerechnet bei ca. 2000 Credits, w...

Taurus was explicitly excluded.

Ja ich meine das z.b. Elektronikkomponenten Verlust machen können. Wenn der Einkaufspreis der Waren zu hoch und der Verkaufspreis zu niedrig ist.

Scheint ein Bug in der Anzeige zu sein. Du bist im Reiter "Zahl der Handelsangebote", aber die Y-Achse ist mit der Einheit "Credits" beschriftet. Dabei ist das die Anzahl der Waren, die bei dir zeitgleich zum Verkauf angeboten wurden.

Wouldn't say that too loud as a German. I think the "money spent" factor is a misguided view on reality. Germany has a hell of an expensive, yet completely non-functioning army. People are making jokes of Russians, having to buy their own equipment, until they start to realize this is the reality he...

Just a little fun fact on a side note here: The USSR once applied for a NATO membership.

Apparently Turkey has signed the forms for Sweden to join? Hungary might approve now. https://globalnews.ca/news/10251934/turkey-tarifies-sweden-nato-membership-hungary-holdout/ Seems to be a lot of speculation about the prisoner plane crash. Only 5 bodies delivered to morgue? Lack of bodies on the...

Russia really drains my energy and motivation by just listening to their bs.
