I don't know it personally but it is a Nvidia facility for capturing and post-processing images from computer gaming. Therefore surely it is up to Nvidia to do the interfacing necessary to allow it to be used while in just about any game? Yes, you will have to prepare the screen by removing HUD clutter etc first.

https://developer.nvidia.com/Ansel

Its engine specific i think but there is a sdk for devs to try support it but they need to be a member of gameworks for dev support if needed i think.

Capturing any kind of screenshots would be an improvement for X4.

You should be able to do prntscreen to take a screenshot without ansel or use steams overlay screenshot feature default F12

As desc here. (its a quote)

Play the game and, when you want to take a screenshot, press the "screenshot shortcut key" that was configured in the prior step. By default, this is F12. Exit the game so that you're back in the Steam application. The "Screenshot Uploader" window will come up. If not right click on steam icon and select screenshots.

If on gog, dunno, probs something out there for it.

Negative.

I would like the option to take ingame screenshots.

Haven't found a non-invasive way to successfully take any, and enabling Nvidia's overlay makes performance absolutely tank. PrintScreen gives me either solid black or one of the first frames rendered by the game (Egosoft logo).

Me neither.
You could try the GE force experience utility, that will do the job.
As I said, enabling the overlay which allows this function destroys game performance for me. If I had to guess it seems like some sort of incompatibility with G-Sync.

And before people point it out: GOG does have an overlay/screenshot function similar to Steam's, but either Egosoft have not enabled this functionality or it isn't working with the game (it works fine with other titles). Pressing the key combination does nothing (brings up the windows cursor, as if alt tabbing the game, but nothing else happens), and trying the screenshot key produces no results.

Ah so u are on gog version then. As steam screenshot method works for me as i tested it when you asked about how to take any screenshot.

Theres always fraps. That should work.

Also if you use steam but not the steam version you can always add x4 as a non steam game to ur library there and enable steams overlay so u can have a fps counter or use their screenshot system method. I think. Depends if gogs exe doesnt like being opened by steam.

Ansel is very different to just taking screenshots, its amazing to be honest. It pauses the game and allows you to use a free camera, add post process effects and then it can upscale screenshots too. Its very cool and it would be nice if it was added to the game.
