Most of the major issues are covered above, but one I haven’t seen mentioned is personal infrastructure. For example. In X3, buying a destroyer was a massive task that required a fair amount of advance planning. Buying your 100mil Hull was the easy part! If you were planning on having a warship, you...

I must admit, I trashed X Rebirth as much as anybody in the past. I've recently taken another look at and I'm really enjoying it now. It's a gazillion times better than the last time I played it, (4 years ago probably). The attention to detail is amazing, I'm having great fun with it. I was that fr...

although theres a lot of haters for Rebirth (largely due to the lack of changeable ships, and it was a disaster at launch) the 4.0 version of XR was actually a decent game. The VR Version is missing the main plot and a few other things, but considdering the rather basic aspect of most VR games on th...

I totally agree!
Personally, I was hoping X4 would be like Rebirth with the elements of previous X games added, like interchangeable ships and fewer restrictions on factories.

As it’s stands, X4 is ok, but seems they have taken many steps backwards.

Just a theory, but as a workaround,
Would selling the combat software disable the gimbals?

I’m also over 60 hours in and in the same boat. Most stations I’ve built don’t shift wares besides engine parts. And I have no need to build my own infrastructure. I do have faith that Egosoft will address this in time. I do feel them releasing this as a finished product was cheeky though as it’s cu...

I was able to recover rep with them from -12 by luring xenon to their stations then killing them.

Was a ball ache though!

Ultimately, L and XL ships are useless, for many of the reasons listed above, I won’t repeat them as we’re all aware already. No ones asking for them to be like ED or SC, but having them a bit like X3 or XR would be a good start, they had real presence and were actually dangerous. At the moment M’s ...

Although I agree with most of what the OP said, Paranid ships are generally best in class, and although the Paranid Deatroyer is fast, has the most firepower, and can carry M class ships, it really is a glass cannon and gets overwhelmed quickly. As for the sentinels being superior to the vanguards, ...

Although Egosoft’s communication is often lacking, and their methods may seem outdated, I’ll gove them credit where it’s due, they have an impressive knack at tackling the problems in their games. They may not reply, but they do pay attention. Frankly I think other devs could learn a thing or two fr...

Great! They fixed that!!

So they added more than zero skilled captains for us to hire to save us micromanaging a novice for 20 hours then???

Wait a minute....

Before you break the news...

Be aware you can capture a sector and rename it..

You can fully kit a nemesis vanguard corvette for a little over 3 mil. Considerably cheaper than most frigates 5mil plus price tag.
I have about a dozen of them protecting my assets.

I haven’t found one in X4 yet, but I do remember finding the Aquaduct in Rebirth very, very cool!

I too would love to know this.

Playing without TIR is strange, I keep moving my head and nothing happens!

the game is much more than a template... otherwise noone would have paid that kind of money... people spend more at any mid level restaurant... i thiunk its fairly priced., and will grow, it also means egosoft will ahve the resources to keep expanding, so i am in full agrement with their model! Goo...

Didn’t you mention in your topic stating we can take over sectors that the AI will act aggressively to try and take sectors too? Even yours??

Ironically, i feel the Argon ships are the best looking.

Thants not saying much though.

what part of the word "foundations" you guys dont Get? you know what that means? this game is a "foundation of what is coming" hence the name.. Geez!./ (yes there are bugs, but they are working to fix them, and knowing egosoft past , you can bet they will keep improving and improving on it. ) At a ...

i have to aggree with the above. I'd stay away from X4 for now. Im now just over 50 hours in, and i want to love this game, i really do. but its sadly Sub par at the moment, perhaps the last 25 of those hours were spent looking for stuff to do and hoping for something to pleasantly surprise me. :- T...
