So a good way to check if the there is still a war going on somewhere is to open the map, select the "Object List" panel, then set a filter for "Wharf" and a second one for "Shipyard". Now expand the stations on the left. If any of them list ships in production then the galaxy is still going. Otherwise the game is pretty much done for.
I have a 20 hours version 1.30 game and I don't think anybody fired a shot in the last 5 hours. Food stuff and medical supplies are pretty much the only thing in the galaxy that still has a fluctuating demand, everything else is slowly drying up.
At this point even automatically generated Pirates, Xenon or Kha'aak fleets would help.

Yep, I'm at 90% completion. The budget is well over the expected cost of the last few parts. I had previously purchased some components for the station and successfully delivered those, so I hoped I could just beat the guy to the storage.
When you right click the station with your trader make sure to select "Transfer with Build Storage", not the station. Also don't try to dock on the Build Storage yourself, let a AI pilot do this as manual docking seems to be bugged. I did this with Energy Cells and just dumped 2000 into the storage for future station building.

Not sure if it was already mentioned but the distance your miners and traders travel from your stations depends on their piloting skill or the management skill of the station manger, whichever is higher. It's a good idea to check the trade guild missions you get in each sector while traveling. I had a 4 step mission that rewarded a management book for 2 stars on each step and a 3 star for the last step. Most are satellite/resource probe deployment and the occasional "rescue ship from minefield" missions. It's a lot faster to pump your station manager up to 4 stars instead of gathering the pilot books for all the assigned ships. The one or two extra jumps coupled with a good satellite network make a gigantic difference in how effective your station operates.
Someone was also looking at the script that manages experience gain for miners and they get less xp the more they mine. Right now the fastest way to gain xp would be to mine one unit and deliver it. A dev already said that it's gonna be fixed so don't expect your miners to level up in the next 100-200 hours of gametime.

Was that in from the start? I did that plot at version 1.0 and I don't remember getting a cerberus.
It's a decent starter reward certainly but I still wouldn't do the plot for it, you can buy one with a couple of truckloads of nividium.
It was, you get the boarding tutorial at this point in the quest chain.

Last I checked, there are training courses for level 1 and 2 that you can buy for cheap at most merchants, so you can at least shortcut that part.
The books from the station traders are for 0 and 1 star pilots. To get a pilot from 2 -> 3 stars you need to do the missions from the ANT or TEL trading guilds.

The new "Repeat Order" function in beta 4.0 kind of allows low level trading again. You can specify one or several sectors where your trader buys a ware and then specify one or several sectors to sell to. If you need more rep with a faction you can just set a few traders to buy and sell medical supplies in all their sectors. And the best is that you can do it with only one star. I think this might also work with miners.

So I bought this while it was on sale. Any advice before I dive in or just go for it and itll be good?
Most important thing is to NEVER look at what your npcs do. Everything works better if the player isn't there. Especially mining and docking/undocking, npc pathfinding is mediocre at best. If the player can't see it then everything just gets calculated with no regard to collision etc.
There's also a setting in the Game Settings menu called "Maintain speed in Menus", set this to on, otherwise every time you look at the map your ship will stop.

Looks like the Tides of Avarice NDA is gone. Some Youtubers posted new videos of the second new Battleship the Erlking. It has half a million hull hp and it's own special turrets. One main battery, 5L, 17M and the L turrets are special pulse turrets with 9.4km range that deal twice the damage of an Argon L plasma turret. We might get a lot new expansion info in the next few days.
Here's a video of the new ship.

I had a Xenon I come through Second Contact II Flashpoint and go up into Argon Prime where it destroyed the Wharf and most of the Stations. Gametime was one day at this point so no chance to stop this by myself. The I then died like most Xenon in Hatikvah's Choice in front of a tiny Spacefuel factory. 60 Large plasma turrets solve a lot of problems I guess.

Quick heads up about the ToA missions. Finish the questline in Avarice last. You're supposed to make a decision and depending on what you choose, one of the factions will drop to -25. There are 2 missions to help with that but none of them get you back to -9 or higher.
The problem is that the ToA factions don't have criminal traffic to raise your standing, don't award the right kind of missions or give rep when you kill a Xenon next to a station. The only way to raise your standing is trading and that requires at least -9.

After almost 1200 hours in this game I finally understood how you get a station to use its own build materials for building production. Leave the "Available money for construction" slider on 0 Cr. If the station has building materials in storage that are eligible to be sold, a cargo drone will come and ferry the stuff over to the build storage.

There is so much good stuff in the patch notes:
quote:
- Added Kha'ak-specific Destroy Station missions.
- Improved Zyarth economy to counter it being overrun by Xenon (affects new games only).
- Fixed Split flak turret bullets not exploding.
- Improved amounts sold by free traders and miners when only selling, particularly across multiple sectors.
- Improved missile damage and ammo consumption simulation when player not present.
- Improved capital ships using forward-mounted guns in combat when player not present.
Tried the patch and crashed to desktop after 2 minutes in my old 5.10 save. They're saying it's compatible to old saves but it might be a good idea to reset the graphic settings and start a new game.

Bernd made a 10 minute video explaining some of the changes we get with patch 6.00 and Kingdom End:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbfez5ljdE4
They're calling it the complete edition as the universe is now feature complete in regards to the races they wanted to add. We're probably getting a bundle of all the dlc for new players as well.
They will however still work on X4 after the expansion is released, so there is a chance that we get more dlc after this one. He's also mentioning Ventures, they are not dead and are still developed as a feature update after Kingdom End.

The 6.0 beta branch does have the new Jolt physics engine and according to a thread in the forums, does run better for some people. Personally, I don't see any difference but I'm also running a Ryzen 1600 with everything on minimum so who knows.
Biggest speed improvement on the map is still to disable the direction lines for all ships.

Not sure if it's common knowledge but you can do most of your trading for NPC stations with Repeat Orders. The setup might need a few clicks extra but you can do it with a one star pilot.
Switch the ship to Repeat Orders then right click a system, not a specific station and click "Buy in". Select the ware you want to trade and click Ok.
In the behaviour tab of the trader expand "Buy" and click on "Add Locations". Right click a system and a small button labeled "Select" should appear. If you cant select the system then this means there isn't a station who can buy the ware. Add all the systems you want.
When the buy part is done, right click the system you want to sell in and select "Sell in". You can add additional systems/stations from the "Sell" order in the behaviour tab.
You might have to adjust the buy/sell prices at some point but otherwise these traders should run forever. If you're lucky some of them might even get to 3 stars piloting after one or two weeks of game time (they won't). It's also a pretty solid way to make money at the start of the game.

Same issue with the SCA, they are extremely agressive in Boron space and there seems to always be one active there.
I have a khaak instalation in Heretic End and a lot of SCA seems to go suicide themselve there including destroyers but still, Boron space always has a Minotaur or two.
Are there M freighter that are good at dodging those ? Buffalo do the trick but at 9 millions credits they are expensive.
I have the exact same issue. I tried arming the Boron but the NPC police is reacting way too slow to make any difference. I was running Dolphin transports with mk2 gear from Heretics End into Boron space and a SCA Marauder with two plasma guns seems to need 4 shots to kill those. You can't save that.
At some point I just filled the sectors with advanced Satellites and started to search for "Pillager" and "Marauder" every 20 minutes. If I find something I send 3 Hydras over to kill the ship.
Another option wold be to only use L traders or give your M ships the order to drop cargo. They only drop some of it and it's a lot less annoying then trying to find out to which station the dead ship belonged to.

Some interesting things in those patch notes:
quote:New Feature:
- Observation Deck module for stations.
In addition to all this new content, the 7.00 update also includes significant gameplay enhancements, such as the introduction of the "Existential Crisis" endgame challenge
for veterans. This daunting confrontation pits players against a faction that spares no effort in its aggression, offering a thrilling new dimension of strategy and resilience. For those who prefer a more serene journey through the stars, this challenge can be opted out of, ensuring a tailored experience for every commander.
- Added auto-targeting of next hostile or next surface element on destruction of current target.
Plus another 5 pages of QoL changes. Other developers would sell this amount of content as a 20$ DLC.
There's also a lot more changes in the Egosoft public beta forums.
quote: Improved balancing of mineral and gas region yields across whole map.
Here we are mostly looking for feedback on impact to existing games, but general feedback is good too. While there were some cuts in some locations, this should not impact the overall availability, in fact there should be more gases.
Improved balancing of stellar output across all systems to match stars and locations.
Following community feedback we adjusted the Stellar Output to match the star type and system look as much as possible to have a consistent "formula" across the map. This means that there is now much more variation, in both directions. Here too we are looking mostly for feedback on how much this impacts existing saves, but also general feedback as well.
Improved ware allocation for wharfs, shipyards and equipment docks.
The way shipyards, wharves and equipment docks allocated wares was adjusted to have a more sensible balance based on what is required to build and equip ships. In addition several of these stations were deemed to have too little storage and as such their construction plans were adjusted. This is also be patched to existing saves, so that these stations will eventually expand to add the additional storage.
Improved price balancing for several MK2 weapons.
Some weapons were asking for very high amounts of Advanced Electronics, which inflated the demand. As such we adjusted the pricing for some of those weapons to additional wares, but maintaining the price. The feedback that we are looking for here is if that impacts ships production, hopefully in a positive way and not have the now less inflated demand, improve the wharves production.
Improved balancing of storage volume for S and M storage modules.
Here we increased the capacity for some of the S and M modules. This has the effect that existing stations will end up with more storage, which may in short term have some impact in pricing, but will balance itself out. For new NPC stations this will impact the decisions they make on which modules to use and require less modules to achieve their desired storage capacity. If you note anything strange due to this please report.
Several smaller fixes and improvements for Construction Vessels.
We adjusted the jobs distribution to have some CV focus more on their own faction construction tasks. Also adjusted their logic to avoid them idling in enemy sectors. This should have a positive impact, especially to NPC construction. If you spot any problems with this please make a note.
Build Storage of deconstructed stations sell their wares first
This will make so that the build storage of any station that has been deconstructed will try to sell the wares before the build storage gets removed. This should return at least a portion of the wares back to the economy. Please note if you find any issues with this.
Improved miner decision-making
This should improve the choice miners make where to mine, especially systems contested by hostile factions. They also should not clump together as much on one spot. Feedback on the impact of these is welcome.
New Clusters
Several new clusters have been added, some will have established economies some only resources. Feedback on the impact of those would also be appreciated.
