Will the original sectors finally get the "variable sunlight intensity treatment". It could only affect new gamestarts to not ruin long running game sessions or is that another case of easier said than done? Also: looking forward to the AI getting some love by the devs, that's good news.

I've been meaning to ask, was that new music I heard in the video or was it my imagination? Either way I loved the melody that was playing in the background. Had some very strong "underwater" vibes going for it, at least to me. And yeah, some of the new ships/stations that got teased look SO good! All very exciting stuff.

I wonder if we can get an answer to greatest mystery of Boron DLC...



...will Borons still use the vanilla Construction Ship model?

Nah, they can use any ship for building stations. Exosuits ftw! :lol:

Oh and one more thing.

For the love of god, please make a full set of unique Boron weapons and turrets - having the same old and bland copy/paste set is seriously a huge dissapointment (first with Split turrets, then with Terran turrets then little to nothing new in Tides of Avarice).


I'd love, if it would a homage to X3 with Borons having a wide range of ion weapons (anti-capital beams?) and more non-lethal stuff.

I REALLY wish that the Boron looked more like Aquaman and alot less like a SQUID. I was looking forward to a humanoid Boron not a Squid Boron. I was very disappointed to see what the new boron looked like. I had such high hopes for Eggosoft's creative abilities and now I look at a Squid and wonder what were they thinking.. Very SAD...

You're hilarious. They've always looked like squids, making them humanoid now would be a huge retcon.

If anything, they look more humanoid now with the weird two armed suits vs what their suits look like in previously established lore.

Encyclopedia of the X Universe wrote:Biology and anatomy of an alien of the Boron race
Borons possess six main tentacles, of which four are larger and stronger than the others; in addition they have a varying number of smaller tentacles, called "swarmers". Mature Boron are capable of interlocking the few bones within their main tentacles, giving them the ability to hold and manipulate objects. Their body has a method of propulsion similar to that of a terrestrial squid: liquid is taken in through their gills and expelled with force through a siphon at their rear.
Reasonable likeness to Aquaman. [this has hurt] :sceptic:

That's an odd definition of "creative abilities", read your mind and create what you imagine...?

As much as I dislike Boron personalities, I've never expected anything but tentacles.

Most importantly, without the squiddiness we would not have the galactic masterpieces, like

Some more on the squid factor - for the ships I expected more bulgy ships like the X³ Ray / Shark or the Orca. At least for the capital ships.

But Squiddy Ta is looking nice :)

The new shots of the Ray show a side of it we havent seen before - really good looking ship, and much nicer than I thought from previous angles we had.

Thanks for that. I guess my fears are laid to rest, that is pretty decent.
Not completely my style, but I could get used to it. It looks like a destroyer at least. Assuming the left is the head and the right is the tail...

From the trailer we can assume that left is the head yes, but omg it would look so much better if the head was on the right, almost like a vorlon ship.
Has anyone looked at the footage for turrets etc.? I think the big thing on the top is an L turret, so maybe two more on the bottom? And a set of 2 M turrets on both sides.
