Screenshot of the Day

Post by CBJ » Wed, 12. Sep 18, 00:44

Intro

OK, not daily but frequent! :)

As is old tradition around a release of a new X game, screenshots are a nice way to share some info as to what the game contains, even though his time around there are already many videos with footage and sound that show the game. The idea is to upload a screenshot regularly up to the release of X4 Foundations. We will add the screenshot here and also mention them as replies so that people get notifications if interested.

You are free to speculate and discuss the screenshots, but don't expect concrete answers. Even there might be some, its not a given.

Hah, I bet I could get a concrete answer! How about... is that a ship in X4? :P

Kidding aside, this is an awesome thing to see! Something to look forward to every day or so.

Ah cool, nice to see this returning.

As someone said above, it would be nice to show some new stuff and not stuff we have all seen a few times before from past videos or other screenshots, if possible. Ty.

Thanks CBJ and team, all images released so far look amazing :)

Would love to see some more close-ups to show off the more intricate details!

Cheers

Actually, coming back to this, a ship this size would usually land to trade, right? Those look like some kind of docking arms though for small ships... is this a small ship construction/repair bay on a station!?

It's hard to grasp the size of that freighter in screenshot.

The one thing I liked in X-Rebirth was using large ships as freighters.
I hated that in X3 even biggest freighters (I don't count TL class) were only slightly bigger that the corvette.

I hope that X4 will keep X-Rebirth trade dominance by huge freighters.

No, it's an external trade bay similar to Rebirth's trade approach.

Materials and textures look like they are brand new out of the packaging...
A bit odd to me, but nice to see some activities !

Maybe the post processing was not fully activated on this screenshot ?

Now we know why the Boron are all gone. Their shopping carts are designed to be used underwater, so they don't have wheels. Thus, they have no idea what that symbol means. After every other species started to reliably reach the docks before the Boron could even locate them, economic collapse was inevitable. :P

(The Paranid were confused by the absence of a third wheel, but they eventually got the idea.)

More than any screenshots of graphics or ships, I would like to see screenshots of menu options and the UI...

Nah, look further in the background: You can see the red/green lights for in and out for that way away, so I think the opening for the external trade bay is around the corner facing away from the camera. I'm talking about the arms above and below the ship that look like shipyard style arms except for M sized ships rather than the L/XL sized bays we usually see.

While I did like that, I wished we had more small options as well. I really like the smaller transporters as well and they do have a space in the economy, TS vs TL in terms of transporting wares (they've already separated out CVs into their own thing) y'know? Really, it was more that the UI was so clunky it was better to use larger ships, and it was really easy to get L and XL sized transports. I'd rather the ratio shift a bit more towards smaller ships but still see big traders out and about. Even the elimination of a few big traders makes room for a lot of small ones after all!

As for the size of the ship... that's true, but given the fact that the design looks more like a small transporter, not to mention the fact I think the ship is smaller than the sign (perspective makes it seem bigger) and the sign seems to be about the size of the whole in/out bay in Tomonor's pic, makes me thing this is an M sized transporter. Don't think we'll see an S sized transporter, but could be wrong.
