Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
Ok, thank you, I hope I don't miss anything, but still I like to know what was egosoft plan after 3.0, surely boron dlc, since playable boron spacecraft wasn't in game.

Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
I think we all know that the next DLC needs to focus on the Alliance of the Word faction.

2nd expansion content and 4.0?
I bought X4 on release but stopped playing and have been waiting for the game to be in a better state. I know people are saying it's improved quite a bit since it launched, but with a second expansion planned I'm wondering if I should still hold off to get the best possible experience later.
The first expansion released alongside a 3.0 update so even people with the base game saw some improvement. Can anyone from Egosoft elaborate if the second expansion will likely release alongside a similar 4.0 update for people playing the base game? Also, what are the general goals for the second expansion content-wise?

Re: 2nd expansion content and 4.0?
As far as i know its still in the same state (Germany) but its in great shape since 3.0. Lots of new commands that make things easier... no big crashes, bugs or game breakers i can tell off.rulerofallcheese wrote: ↑Fri, 3.

Some times its hard to understand what to do (as when i tried to deliver a specialist to a station and was looking like 5 Minutes until i found out the ship needs to be in a docking bay (not internal storage) and i need to com the Crewmember i wanted to deliver)
At least I can tell you that i am enjoying myself a lot. And even after three days i still didnt see all the new DLC Sectors (Map got roughly 80 - 100% bigger)
I am taking my time though, started a war with faction A and trying to be nice to faction B.

It will probably be 5.0 or 6.0 until then, as i remember Egosoft from X-Rebirth

Re: 2nd expansion content and 4.0?
So all I can say now is my personal opinion on that matter:
A LOT of the stuff on their to-do list has at least partially been solved and the first DLC was sent out in a relatively good state.
I DO think that the second DLC will come a lot faster than the first due to a lot of base-game issues now being fixed. That said I wouldn't even dare to hope about anything before Christmas.
That said we still have some promised features/functionality coming in soon updates. Not everything made it into 3.0!

Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
Borons need to be next, terrans would just be a high tech argon clone faction, kinda boring.
Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
Borons would be a bit overambitious. The Devs said themselves that they don't have clear ideas on how to implement borons with the new features yet (walking around on stations, ship interiors and so on)NightmareNight91 wrote: ↑Fri, 3.

I'd rather give them lots of time to find a good and immersive way to add borons and in the meantime get a "high tech argon clone"

Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
I hope for Terran personally. No offence to Boron but I really like that clean 2001-style scifi look.

Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
Oh man I'd love terran next, the ships are awesome and the sectors are just incredible.
they have had almost 1000 years to terraform Aldrin, why are they all still sitting around a giant rock?

Maybe its time to introduce a new race for a change instead of a old one, might be more fun.
That or a proper campaign as the dlc next time instead of a race pack dlc?

Re: 2nd expansion content and 4.0?
We haven't made any announcements regarding future updates or the content of the second DLC, but I think it's safe to say that, as usual, we will continue updating the base game as well. However I'm not going to suggest that you wait for the "final final" update before you play the game. You might actually get more value from the game by playing it now with the content and features it has, and then getting a "second wind" to play some more when the next update and second DLC come out.

Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
Yeah, we need terrans! And a khaaks improvement (with capital ships)
It won't be an huge work I suppose, and, yeah borons, I will like to see them but it's more ambitious.
How will be their bridges? Full of water? And borons swim inside? But what about you? Do you wear your suit?
And how do you change from a human to a boron captain? Will you fill the bridge of water or tell the boron to wear a space suit?
I'd like to see, for example, a plot with ALI that open us to more sectors, where we discover terrans again.
Who knows? Did Egosoft ask for the community what we wanted?

Re: 2nd expansion content and 4.0?
Well honestly this really depends on your point of view in my opinion. Like, for me the state of the game has definitely gone south, but I'm playing from Italy, you know.
Re: What is next? Boron or Terran DLC?
I was kinda hoping on a new race, but it'd be strange for it not to be the Boron, considering there's one already in the game. - However, the introduction of walking around stations made it very hard for Egosoft to incorporate non-air breathers without them looking a little strange.
It'd be good to have the Khaak developed, and maybe a different insectoid race at war with them that becomes a (possible) ally.
I guess copyright means we can't have the Borg, LOL. I... I've always had a thing for Seven of Nine.

“Man, my poor head is battered,” Ed said.
“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”
“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”
“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”
