I've had Cohh playing in the background all day and I'm surprised how improved the menus look compared to X3. Can't wait to get home and give her a whirl.

So with my 144hz monitor with gsync, which Vsync should I be using if disabling it "isn't supported"?

You can force VSYNC off in your NVIDIA control panel. Assuming you're using an NVIDIA card. That overrides any bullshit the game tries.

Is there an easier way to hire people than going up to them on a station?

You can do it from the ship upgrade screen, just ask it to give you crew members. There are quality levels too but I'm not sure if you can buy the good quality ones easily.

Where is the emblems folder so I can drop dicks into it?

Make a save and look in your documents folder for an egosoft folder, then go into x4 and into a folder that has a bunch of numbers in the name. Put in a folder called "logos", make sure the image is square and has the same dimensions for width and length.

Is there some easier way to find the trader on the landing platform? The transporter says he's on here somewhere

Edit: Oh look, he has a little office in the middle of nowhere on this gigantic station. Maybe if he was a better trader he'd have something I could teleport to

Wait, is this actually stable on release day? I remember X3 being very buggy at launch. I was planning on playing tonight no matter what, but I'm actually excited if it's stable and I wont need to start a new save in a few months after my file is all kinds of hosed up from launch bugs.

I need to dig up my flight stick, throttle, and peddles, it takes up way too much space to leave setup if I'm not playing a space game.

That's part of the X experience, glad they still haven't fixed that poo poo. Always save before going through busy gates.

In the map, hit "filter settings", and then with "trade filters" selected, hit the power button on the left of the window to turn off the pricing menus.

Thank you so much! It was seriously impossible to use the map with that enabled, probably a rare error seeing how I'm playing in 4k on a 65" screen but still...

Do I need something for the autpilot to work? When I enable it my ship just turn slightly to the right and the goes straight forward no matter what target I have set.

I don't think you just have to target something - try opening the map and right clicking on something and hitting "start guidance to object" and then using autopilot.

Is there a campaign to vaguely pay attention to or a bunch of mini-plots?

OwlFancier

Mini plots afaik, like X3.

E: Also most station locations are, as far as I know, randomized per playthrough.

Cool, either/or works for me but pure sandbox and I eventually get bored.

I bought a crew member for my lovely starter ship thinking he would passively repair the hull but it the few minutes I was observing that doesn't seem to be the case? Anyone know what service crew members do?

station locations are randomized in sector but they're always going to be in the same sector at the start of the game

i foudn it, yaay. got a mining ship that can mine too, apparently the tellari one cant? built an argon one and could right click the asteroid field and tell it to mine.

also, mining is not good money. 5k per load of minerals from the small ship.

It was worthless for making money in X3 too, it was more for getting your own raw materials for construction.

It's supposedly more lucrative for special crystals that you find on asteroids.
