As I can find nobody mention it so far.
I'd like to say, that X4 needs a better encyclopedia.
The one in X:R is horrible. E.g it doenst show me what stations need which wares as resources etc etc

I agree. I also found the encyclopedia to be lacking when it came down to technical details regarding ships, stations, parts, production modules, engines, upgrades, etc.

The wiki helped a lot in that regard, but it would be great to have an in-game access to a lot more of info...
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

I agree... also did anyone else notice they gave lore for the systems and sectors but never did they give lore for the specific zones inside sectors. I was disappointed when I saw those descriptions absolutely blank of text.

The only thing that ever bugged me about it that they refused to call it Argonopedia since X3TC :(

Actually it will show you but you need to have that item first to unlock information. It's been a while when I used it but you need to find module of station and than select item that produces and it will show you option like DV,OL,Albion on bottom left corner .... You click on those and it will show you what material it needs to produce (OL stations will need different materials than Albion). Whole thing is hidden and unorganized in my opinion.

As opposed to Boronopedia, or Paranidopedia, or Splitopedia, or Telaidiopedia?
Or maybe Terranopedia, or Kha'akopedia or Xenonopedia?

Get the idea? The universe isn't just Argon. And not all players are 'Argon', either. :P :lol:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

A hyperlinked in-game encyclopedia would be nice, so we can get products and wares cross-linked with the stations that manufacture them, cross-linked with zones where the stations are, etc. Not sure if possible with the UI though.

Also what kinda bugs me about it is that, especially the lore, is written from this authoritative "dev" viewpoint, rather than each system uploading their version of history and calling it the truth, and each manufacturer uploading their version of equipment stats and advertisements.
