Many noob questions (open thread)

[chew-ie]

Next question i have is, how to make that game not pause when minimized? When i fly my big slow stardust i want to do something outside game. There was that option in X3 series

In the graphics settings you have to use "boderless window" - that way you can switch X4 to the background without stopping execution. I'd also recommend to disable cpu throtteling by adding this flag to the executable parameters: -nocputhrottle

edit Ninja'd by CBJ Posting it regardless because of the additional info ^^

I noticed the game seemed be be throttled when alt-tabbed, and this is a very nice piece of info to know!

Ah right there is an mission panel, thx. Other things. I ask ealier abotu fleet. But i have little different problem. Im piloting carrier that is leader of fleet. I have 3 subordinates docked on in in alpha attack group. Why they don't undock and attack when i fight? Ship that i piloting shouldn' be part of fleet?

1. let a pilot make the job on your carrier and give him orders.
2. check your carrier if the preference of the alpha fleet is docked or undocked, they dont do nothing if docked is selected.
3. you also can subs manual order actions

Attack=subs attack leader target
Defend=subs start to engage after leader gets attacked
engage(?)=subs swarm out to engage when enemys are in xx km leader range

There is and some mission offers show only in that panel.

When you look at map there is a chance that stations within 50km of you show yellow icons.
Those are missions too. You can right-click on those icons.

Ok i think i got it. They really have status docked. But i think that i start from wrong side. Maybye i tell what i want to do and somebody can tell me how to do. So i want be a pilot of carrier that have ships docked and fighting with me in atomatic mode (i start fighting then docked ships undock and start fight, after fight they automaticaly dock).
