Next steps in the evolution of X4: Foundations

[Falcrack]

It would be greate to have ability to also select which type uniform for which NPC (e.g. Pilot, Captain, Engineer, Marine) - but I probably ask for too much.

I want my captains in proper uniforms. Not a T shirt or hoodie!

[theborg921]

I would like to see an option to sign a peace treaty with NPC factions or declare war on a faction. And I really don't like the fact that when you go below certain rep with a faction that you can't recover from that.

Or everyone with a T shirt or hoodie.
It's somehow harder (or time consuming) than it seems, because you need to create the same textures on Argon, Teladi and Paranid (and Split and Boron, in the future).

still no classic fps mouse control?

Nope I keep checking in hopes that they will at least say something about it.
But still nothing, very disappointing

1. Allow turn off of highways (without affecting mod status). Increasing travel speed a wee bit for this would be a bonus.
2. Change priority of modules being built on a station. Really handy when you have 50+ modules and you just want to have the docks built first (then storage, then production...etc.)

That would be awesome. Color and logo on the uniform would be a bonus too.

Just add it like the ship logos, maybe in a later update/mod

I already asked for this in the first week it went live, but live in hope like you hehe.

If you go further, then it is probably worth introducing medals and orders for captains and marines. For 100 shot down xenon .. for 10 taken ships, etc.

And steam Badges / forum medals to compliment them

Should we expect large number of bugs with the new expansion in the end of 2019? Or from the sounds of it, there won't be any new game mechanics that require additional scripting but only new ships, new sectors, new missions and new race? From what I understand it will be just extra sectors to explore, missions will be similar to what already in game, just nested to new stations, by using similar mechanics that are already in game, maybe new trade guild based on similar mechanics as well, and possibly couple war threat missions, sectors will be similar to what is already in game, just different names and graphics, race will be similar to the humanoids with just bigger squared heads?

Hi. All my life I play games in the x series. Thank you. I have a question whether there will be new sectors and races? I couldn't find any information about it on your website. Thank you!

First Expansion will introduce Split race

While all of the above (free) updates may also contain new assets, we will bundle a lot of new ships, station modules, missions and new sectors into the first big expansion. Our rough timeline is to have an expansion based on introducing the Split race, their ships, a new Split economy and of course a large new area of space shortly after releasing 3.00.

Any news on MacOS support? Pleeeease? My go to gaming laptop is a brick I can’t afford to replace or repair thanks to my wife buying a brand new iMac. So I’ll wait... patiently...

I'm afraid there are no plans for MacOS support, for the simple reason that MacOS does not support Vulkan.

I don't know if it's good enough to support X4, but I easily found a reference to MoltenVK which is a Vulkan implementation for MacOS:

Sorry to bother with a quote, but is there any approx. eta on 3.0 / dlc release?
I ask for a friend.
And I wonder if he's going to build his own shipyard before 3.0: he's pretty slow.

Maybe they're Split on the release date

It's possible, but reading the forum, I see people feeling a little Boron sometimes...

[CBJ]

We're not going to give dates for future updates, as they depend on a number of factors including progress on the updates that come before them.

I don't know if it's good enough to support X4, but I easily found a reference to MoltenVK which is a Vulkan implementation for MacOS:

Sorry, but regardless of this, we still have no plans for a MacOS version of X4.

About the DLC release date - the only solid date Egosoft revealed is that the first DLC will be released in 2019.
