I forgot I left off with an Asgard fleet sweeping the Xenon from the north to save the Yaki for no reason And also that I had the united paranid go to war with everyone for And that I just own all but like two split sectors from when both factions got rolled by the Xenon lmao I'm a powerhouse

You get the Player HQ within 5 minutes with the new start. Which is handy, although I guess you miss out on the free stuff you'd get otherwise.

BTW, since it's been in beta a while, are there multiple plots in the dlc, or just one overarching one? Or does no one outside like one preview streamer really know?

Oh my god my fleets are actually, finally, doing their jobs now Except the auxillary ship that flew directly into an I, but other than that, they're actually working! The carrier hung behind the Asgards, and the fighters picked off the enemy fighters and corvettes! The Asgards will engage stations at maximum range! e: lol my Seven Asgard fleet is extreme overkill for the march to Savage Spur now. The game's way better optimized now too and it looks like most of my traders are doing their jobs better as well RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Apr 12, 2023 |

RBA Starblade posted:Oh my god my fleets are actually, finally, doing their jobs now So , DID the mad boys actually manage to sorta kinda pull it off? I watched some guy play on stream and busted a gut laughing when the Space Station creator now has a gizmo with translation and rotation axis's for your poo poo . "Finally" I thought, the space station creator now has the same basic features that the software used to 3d model the individual components also had. And apparently ships now can aim and fire charge-up guns like Mass Drivers and those Teladi Muon guns? If they fixed it I guess enough assholes like me complained about it ? I mean, it's still sorta funny that it took them till version 6.0 to stop capital ships from running into stations, but I might actually re-install it if it means I don't have to slam my head on the desk on every attack order.

The station builder used to be 3d but you could not rotate any modules. A lot less creativity in station building. 4.5 or so added the feature but it was without any indicators so it was annoying to wrap your head around.

If you take the route on the right, not the left works better. Also auto pilot seems to navigate around the unsafe areas quite well so you can just drop nav beacons while doing that too.

You definitely have to go from the top to the bottom, too; so it sucks to be you if the Kha'ak decide to harass you all the way back to the other gate.

It's really funny watching all my "we can't do that" orders from my last save magically clear up and now I make an extra 100 mil a simulated hour lmao. Based on build orders at my stations too every faction is more alive. This is great maybe I should restart after all e: That said I have noticed a couple glaring bugs - you can't pilot battleships anymore. 1. If you get in the cockpit of your Asgards, the engines cut you and you're locked in place, which sucks because 2. Xenon Is are occasionally invincible now. They're also aware of this and ram you. Lol. I think both bugs are related to teleporting in and the game trying to resolve IS/OOS stuff at the same time and everything else locking up while it does. If you fly in from out of sector instead everything works fine. One particular one is currently conquering the northern half of the galaxy, which is mostly empty after the last hellwar and liberation RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Apr 12, 2023 |

Forgot about the need to save pretty often when you're fragile. I placed the nav beacons and was like, "well what now" and started to fly back to the previous sector. On the way back I saw the freighter and its escorts and was like 'hey cool I'll just follow them, they won't plot armor their way through a hazardous region after I just placed a path of nav beacons for them right? ... right guys?" Died and had to reload an earlier save and have to place the beacons again.

I'm looking at a stream of the small skirmish with the bad guys after putting the nav beacons down and the streamer dude seems to be dealing a lot more damage and taking a lot more hits than I do... I really do not understand why.

Edit: Oh yeah I just accepted the mission and it just slips me into the new start's campaign, so maybe that's what streamer is doing. It certainly means I'll progress this way instead of starting anew with a crap ship in a save I won't keep anyway. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Apr 13, 2023 |

DaveKap posted:I claim ignorance if I'm wrong but you can access that campaign w/o using it as a start (I figured this out just a couple minutes ago) so maybe the streamer's just using an already-in-progress save? No, the guy I was watching has used a fresh save. He is new to X4 and arguably worse than me, which is saying something. He was using the same fighter etc. I can only assume it's some mod thing from the trading scripts etc I'm using but it seems odd they would touch that. Regardless I'm about to finish the quest line then I think I will restart with the other boron start, but with even less than the 10 minor mods I'm using now. Maybe I'll just the crystal mods and the repair fleet one to make early game less grindy and leave it at that. Oh and the crew exo because gently caress dealing with that system in any way shape or form

That sounds fantastic, honestly - maybe I'll actually be able to get the AI to use my Asgard (just one for the time being) to slowly cut open Xenon stations, while I take out reinforcements in my Osaka! I'm practically salivating already... EDIT: queeb posted:i may be dumb, where the poo poo is the repair panel on the derelect ship? I haven't looked at derelicts in a while, but there should be a sparking control panel near the hatch? The location of the hatch varies depending on the ship though... it's generally either on top behind the bridge/cockpit, at the rear (if it's like, a medium-sized ship) or around the middle down the bottom. (If it's for a new Boron ship though... not sure. I think whatever the purple/systems view mode is called might help point out where it is?)

My wars have cost me a carrier, two asgards (rip to that one guy who was just invincible slamming in), 60 fighters (holy poo poo was that a lot of fighters and corvettes) in the last few hours. It's been pretty dynamic after what seemed like days of stasis

They give you a shorter start where you meet the Boron and discover their area and then the actual play-as-Boron start unlocks (from what I can tell so far).

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:Oh what so you don't actually get to play as a Boron? There is a little drop down option on the starts so perhaps you can select boron in the second start? I think you default to argon though. E: no it says on the queen's herald start that your character is boron, the first kingdom end scenario has you on the commonwealth side trying to connect to kingdom end though, so you don't play a boron in that one.
