What does trade subscription licence do? (The most expensive licence).

Unconfirmed but it very likely shows all trade offers without the need to have a satellite next to the station.

I can't find the "global settings" you can use to change the default behaviour of your ships. Where are they?

How do you filter goods from a station on the map ?
I tried using the "search" function on the map however that just removes everything ( including your ships) when you manually enter the name of something.

Is it possible to man a turret while your captain flies the ship for you? Basically allowing you to be a gunner?

I cant find any sedatives to craft with. Are they that rare?

[Tadas]

Not really, I just checked my inventory, I have a bunch of them, encyclopedia says that you can find them in crates, ships, traders.

Anyone else experiencing auto-miners dumping a quarter of their cargo before heading to sell the leftovers at station every run,
or do I have to start throwing captains out airlocks for profit grafting? (they may have a buddy hiding behind a roid in a hauler picking up drops for under-counter transactions; anythings possible)

Also on the topic of replacing captains - is it genuine mechanic that pilots/captains - dissapear/rage-quit after having someone else promoted over them, or a bug?
(Rage quitting sounds like a immersive mechanic - but I'm going to presume bug, because one can still reassign them as deck-scrubbing crewman without complaint. They only dissapear when someone else is promoted to their position first.
So the two methods have conflicting results.)

Quickest way is just to left click on a ware in map view. It will be added as a filter top left. Or u can dig into the filters, and there is a drop-down menu for wares. Make sure you have trade info displayed (top right of map view)

Can I declare a war to AI faction (TEL or ARG i.e) - not that ones which are "red" from beginning.

Can I declare war on one of the AI factions. I`m far from it but it will be good to know for further gameplay - because for now i barely know the basic of trading/automation trading/mining/basebuilding. But if I progress far enough, have own shipyards/inftrastructure (if possible) and can financialy maintain the war - can I just conquer my neighbour? Can I claim the enemy station/sector for my own - if yes what is the mechanic behind that?

Is it possible to have a own station which is producing ships?

Young Gun start:
Docked Starter ship at an Argo Equipment Dock, and ordered 2 Marines through the Trade Menu. Message displayed: resources to fill my order are not available and may take some time to complete. After waiting 40ish minutes real time, the order remained unfilled. Initiated a save game, got a white screen, and X4 froze requiring restart.
Marines seem to be AWOL.
Will they ever arrive? Glitch?
Yeah, I know in comparison such a simple a question...

[Lost Captain]

Does anyone know which stations or factories buy Nividium?

It's not even listed on the 'wares' part of the encyclopedia.

Thanks in advance.

Sure. You can declare war on whoever you want, it's a sandbox. Go ham on 'em!

Not possible currently to produce your own ships, unless you install a mod.

Loaded a save and weapons stopped functioning. Very frustrating. Anyone else have this problem?


Update: Solved. Somehow my weapon group got changed. Press the 1 key and all it well.

Question: I have been trying to collect/pick up passenger from stations - only nothing happens, is it a bug?
(on previous X games, the passenger made contact: on this one, nothing happens once you (eventually) dock)
Ta, muchly!

For some reason, you have to go FIND them on the station. MIssion guidance should help.

Do resource probes help auto miners?

[astroshade]

I'll ask this here too, since I haven't had any luck on steam or in the other ask a question thread:

How do I get tracking missiles to actually track my target? Whenever I launch things like the heatseeker missile, they act like dumbfire missiles and just travel in a straight line.

Possible to board ships or shipwrecks ?

I did the scientist experiment mission where you have to blow up a ship, after that i claimed the base and flew back to a shipwreck in my spacesuit.

Before dying i went below it trying to get in or using the ship's menu by right clicking there was no way to board the ship.

Is there a way to do this or hasn't it been implemented yet ? the shipwreck came from some criminal i shot nearby.
