I just want to tell someone I got into stimulants and holy hell I am making money hand over fist. Set up a station in the reach, scan the argon shipyard until you get a black market. You can scan other stations but the demand for stimulants in shipyards is like 600 units whereas other stations its only 50 or so so you're better off focusing on just shipping to shipyards.Auxiliary ships felt bad just because docking with carriers is so painfully slow, I wish you could just setup trade for orders on medium traders for carriers. Obviously they don't want to allow that because then you'd ask WTF do auxiliary ships even exist, but I think that's a dumb approach. Aux ships should be M ships with like one S dock for repairing S ships and can repair L and XL ships like they can now, instead of shitty carriers that force them to make carrier logistics a pain in the ass to justify AUX ships existing.I didn't think I'd like the balance changes very much since I loved my pulsars and they seem to have gotten really fucked this patch. I've been thinking about X4 battles as corollary to naval warfare, but it feels like a really good corollary to tank warfare right now. I'm sending in fighters ahead of my carrier fleet to absolutely wreck paranid's formation and then sending in my behemoths to melt the one by one. If I just send the behemoths at the odysseuses they get absolutely wrecked but once they're distracted by the fighters the paranid destroyers can't bring all their guns to pair. It feels really good.Just wish I could use my pulsars as bombers. I'm using eclipses for bombers and barracudas for fighters, which were definitely better than pulsars even before the patch, but I preferred pulsars just because they looked cool. Now pulsars are just awful.

I went to Pax East and visited the Egosoft booth, met one of the devs, got to try the game on HOSAS. When I got home I bought the game, all the dlc, and a pair of HOSAS. What are the chances I play for a week and never again? I have several hundred hours in Stellaris. I'm hoping for "single player Eve." The graphics are a little boof. Is there crafting? I know there's trading and mining and all that, but do you make stuff or buy stuff or both? What if I just want to own the universe's biggest restaurant franchise, space McDonald's?

https://youtu.be/tsDvoEj1xgY relevant to the aux ship discussion. guy with actual phd in naval replenishment talks about how USN resupplies itself in modern context. some things i found interesting >if the resupply base is far enough away, they'll have one supply ship that stays with the fleet and multiple shuttling ships fetching stuff from resupply bases (very much like the intended aux+cargo interaction) >it's often civilian commercial tankers that ferry fuel (chartered) >ship-to-ship transfer uses helicopters frequently (PLEASE let us use cargo drones to transfer ship-to-ship everything) >Burkes can't do VLS reloads outside of port (!!!) >Ticos can reload underway, but reload equipment reduces missile capacity (thankfully abstracted away in X4) >refueling bottlenecks constraints can potentially cut down escort count, which in turn puts carriers in mortal danger (thankfully we don't have fuel worries in X4)

I'm new to the game and picking up every easy mission I can (Taxi, clear mines, drop laser towers) and I was wondering if I could make other ships I own but am not currently flying achieve them. Like when I send a ship to try and pick up a passenger there's no option to talk to the person on the map remotely, and when I try to send a ship to clear out mines in another system the mines don't appear on the map for me to order the ship to destroy them.

50 hours and this game is pretty nice. It's like Mount and Blade in space, or 3D Starsector. However, what really sucks is the general art direction. Almost everything looks so bland or stupid, especially the ships which are supposed to be eye candies in sci-fi games. Maybe I'm spoiled by Star Wars, but when I look at space ships there, there is some actual logical design, even though they are completely unrealistic. And they just look cool. In X4 it's a bunch of random stuff bundled up together, or completely nonsensical stuff like Boron ships.

So I'm playing Terran and have built up my shipyard all the way up to XL ships and started making some really good money. I'm considering moving into the center of the map but realized there might be an issue if I started purchasing equipment from the other races for shipyard use. Is there any way to filter what blueprints your shipyard has access to? The moment I buy some other races ship it's going to want claytronics and a bunch of other shit I definitely don't have built in my terran shipyard. I'm assuming the queue could get stuck waiting for materials that will never show up when I'm selling my ships there. Would banning certain factions from using a specific stations help? Will the NPC terrans buy only their faction designs or will they try to buy other races ships if I have that blueprint purchased?

I've played the game several times already, but I'm getting an itch for it again (haven't played the 9.0 yet). But I don't just want to do the same kind of playthrough as usual, I need some twist to spice things up. Any suggestions? I was thinking of buffing Xenon with mods to an absurd degree and try my hand in a kind of "world ending threat" scenario. I had already played with them buffed before, but not to such a degree. I was also considering limiting myself to only one faction's ships and station modules, but I have already played like that in the past with the Boron and Terrans, and honestly they're the two that interest me the most anyway, so I'm not sure whether I'll do that again or not. I'll probably set all the story quests to completed in the custom start, and give myself some money or maybe even a small station to get started... Any suggestions or mods to add to spice up a playthrough?

Do you think the game could use some more ship classes? What would you add? I was thinking how it would be nice to have a fast first response/patrol ship/light carrier/L frigate or something like that. Instead of using multiple M and S ships for patrols and defence from minor threats like some stray khaak, I'd love to have a speed focused mini L-ship with ~8-12 S and ~1-2 M capacity and some turrets. I was also thinking that dedicated bombers would be cool, for example focused on having many broadside torpedo launchers, but you can already fit destroyers with torpedos if you want so I'm not sure how to differentiate the niche. I guess I'm mostly just imagining them different visually, but the role is pretty similar.

i wish sector ownership mattered. I have an idea like that in my mind: Every foreign trader and miner has to pay a % of their load value in credits when mining or trading in the owner's sector. Foreign stations don't just pay for the plot at the start, but also pay a % of their income. Of course some ships can try to weasel out of paying, and as such some patrols to scan them become useful. Everyone could be able to set the fee % at whatever they want, but a high % would mean that taking over that sector instead of continuing to pay, becomes more attractive for other factions, and they might go into war for the ownership if they deem it profitable enough. Additionally, could also add fees for just entering the sector. But you get the point - actual benefit and motivation for owning a sector, and potential military interest in taking over places, especially ones rich in resources. What do you think?

Tried this game around the time Cradle of Humanity came out (my resume is years of X3TC and X3AP), got to the part where I I had a decently kitted out Katana, bounced from it, in part due to performance, in part for...other reasons. Got a better GPU since so performance is no longer a concern, but the "other reasons" still remain and I wonder if anything changed >Combat Small and medium ships back when I played loved to do this thing where during combat they would go from 200 ms to 1200 ms constantly using the afterburner or whatever that was, as a result every fight was fractions of seconds of jousting followed by being 10 km apart the next moment. In X3 you never really fight anything that goes faster than 300 ms so the slow projectile speeds of weapons made sense, here neither lead nor autoaim can really keep up with AI having insane acceleration and high top speed, turrets were all useless because of this since only beam turrets could hit anything but they dealt no damage. >Missions Another problem I encountered was the lack of the kind of missions I like to do. In X3 if you wanted to fight you took the nearest assassination mission, or station defence, or sector patrol, and a bunch of shit appropriate to your combat rating would spawn in to kill, from factions you didn't have to care about (Xenon, Khaak, generic pirates). Here I don't think anything spawns in, probably because they leaned into the simulationist aspects of the series, and as a result missions play out kinda like the contraband search missions in X3 where you have to hope the appropriate targets will waltz into the sector, which they usually don't. I also never saw the other mission type I liked, courier/taxi.

the terran industry modules look so nice and sleek while the universal ones look like random pieces of metal scraped together pointing in all directions my new factory looks like a complete travesty

Is it better to build factories that can produce multiple things as components for a final product or is it better to just get multiple stations for that?

Is there any guide for absolute beginners? Even the "beginner walkthroughs" on YouTube assume a priori knowledge I don't have.

Anyone played this? The extra battleships, xenon invasions and supposedly better performance (though idk how would that work) sound rather appealing. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3457803228

What do you do once the Advanced Electronics shortage hits? I can't buy new ships or even upgrade any of my ships because both weapon parts and AE are not available. Neither can I source them myselves, as there seem to be no factories for them.I have neither the cash nor the standing to get the modules and start producing myself. What do?

I wanted to try the betrayed mercenary free league start, but I feel like I'm missing something. You start in a spacesuit with no ship and 5k credits 10km from the hatikvah station. I slowly drifted there, started the hatikvah story, but you don't get a ship there so I literally have no ship, no money and I don't really see how would I even go about getting properly started here. What do?

I'm guessing this is the 9.0's doing, but where the hell do I see a list of all my ships now? This menu only shows the ships in the currently selected sector, and I can't seem to be able to deselect for it to just show all of them.

well my game got a disappointing ending since the xenon economy suddenly collapsed and they stopped invading any sectors at all none of the 10+ Ks and some Is in the adjacent sector try to stop me from destroying their stations and even small raiding parties are not being built anymore time to see those split and paranid questline endings and call it i guess but this game was a very pleasant surprise overall and im definitely trying a pirate themed run sometime in the future where i will ruin the whole thing as much as possible for everyone (pic very related)

Playing with GBO and Xenon Jobs+. I wanted some challenge, but damn, the Xenon have already taken several sectors; the Void, Getsu Fune and such. HOP and Argon have lost their Wharves, Hatikhva has lost their trading station, and it's looking rough all over the galaxy. I haven't even been able to do much myself, it's gonna be a long long time before I can even produce medium and small ships myself. Hope there's gonna be enough galaxy alive for me to try to save it by that time.

Speaking of, how do you blow up a Xenon I? I've got one hanging around in Hatikvah and no money for a destroyer ofmy own.

anything small or medium that exists near this raptor disappears the moment it fires im also making another one with full mass drivers because that seems fun

Most factions are in a very rough spot, but the Terrans are just sitting with a huge fleet in the Asteroid Belt. They lost both Getsu Fune and the Void, but honestly with this they could easily take it back. I don't know why they seemingly aren't even trying. Anyway, I've managed to destroy some Xenon stations solo. It took a long time, but it did help Hatikvah a little bit, and I got paid fat cash for it. Now I'm considering what to do with it. I think I might just buy an Asgard. I can just almost afford one, and I feel like with one I could actually start to clear out Xenon stations encroaching all around my headquarters.

Hi guys, I'm kinda noob here. What's the best way to strip modules in the last update? I saw a video where modules got absolutely obliterated by a 4 burst ray guns on Moreya.I try to did the same but these burst rays suck compared to what I've seen.Reference: https://youtu.be/i6AaT0HaEzY?t=2616

Has anyone tried this mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3778882957 Sounds cool, but I can't get it to run properly. It's clearly running in the background, but the button to access the actual menu where everything happens is not there for me. Seems like a somewhat common issue, too. Has anyone been able to get make it work?

Is there some mod that tracks the kills or damage done by various ships? I want to test various fighter loadouts and I find it almost impossible to get a good idea what works best in fleet battles.

Returnfag here. Haven't really played for multiple expansions and I heard 9.0 is pretty good. Question: What's currently the best way for a fresh start, to start making money? Because back in my day it was hunting crystals and I think that's been nerfed to death for years at this point.Also I heard it overhauled like all of the weapons. If I get, say a Katana now, how do I figure out what weapons would be best, short of saving in front of a ship, shooting it to shit, and noting down how long it takes for every conceivable weapon loadout?

If I find a station that is missing a material, say hull parts, and I plan to build a hull part factory to supply them, how far away can I build that? Does it have to sit in the same system? Or can I build it 1/2/3 systems away, because that way maybe it might be close to another system that needs hullparts 1/2/3 jumps in another direction?

Okay, so I'm approaching 2mil and I'm about to buy my first medium miner. (Figured it's better to get a high preset right away, rather than getting low presets early that I need to exchange later). Now the question is: The fuck do I do with it? Do I just look for a system that has ore and set it to local automine for now as passive income? Are there any good candidates? The plan right now is to use auto-mining for some money, and then later build my own hull parts station. Now obviously at that point I can assign them to the station to mine for me, for better profits. But I'm not super sure what best to do with them till then.Also unrelated: How's auto trade these days? I feel like trading is best micro managed by manually telling a ship what to buy and where to sell. I heard in the past that auto trading kinda varies from being ultra shit and maybe actually making losses, up to "eh, could be better".
