Keep in mind I'm still fairly early into the game but so far it feels like an upgrade X3 with better graphics and more game-play elements. Basically what I was hoping for. But like any X game it takes awhile to get far. Going to be streaming over on twitch most of the afternoon :D
Have a fantastic day!
intel^
there is probably no big (Imean battleship class) ships to pilot for a player
or may be tats just a roomers
F. B. I.!!! Open up!! Hand over your twitch address.
Glad to hear that. I've been craving for a new X game since long time ago
nice tips man ,i would have never found the crafting station . looks like one side shows crafting station and the other one is the one where you can sell the personal item you loot in space. magga time saver !
I am experienced the "out of map error" way too often. Every time I open the Map I hope not to spawn 50.000 km away from the next station ...
Getting a bigger ship, hiring a pilot and chilling in the bridge while the pilot flies around and trades while you manage your other assets is so damn cool.
@Zach cash I cant wait for the mods. One thing I'm interested in is more fleshed out interiors. The bridge is nice and all, but just a little more pizzaz and I think it could be something magical.
ive been playing this for a few days now. What ive learned is:
1: Mining crystals, is a must if you plan to advance. Sure you can make profit off of trading, and missions but atm, least until its patched or something, risk going into the asteroid fields of Xeno's areas. Crystals galore. Millions of income, easily, if you take the time. Even in a basic starting ship.
2: Explore. Go on the main highway, at least one full trip. You will know what it is when ya see it. Two lanes of awesomesauce surrounded by huge constructions that remind ya of blade runner. Make sure to stop every now and then and drop off some basic satelites near trade hubs and or ship building stations. Once you get going on earning the income and start to expand your empire so to speak, you wont regret spending the time.
3. Stick to one side to work on. After you explore a bit, pick a side. Do quests, kill some baddies, and work on the rank. Once you hit 10 a whole new set of gear opens up for your ships. As well as blueprints for your stations, you can also pick up a police license, which gives you extra income for the bad guys ya kill near stations. Higher ranks mean, more stuff, and better ships. You will need at least 10 in a rank, or so for the main plot. ..and speaking of.
4. the plot. You get contacted by a crazy character wanting help to explore the universe. It opens up a player base, a nice one. It also opens up other avenues for you to do stuff in, such as research (I think..thats what ive read). This is what im working on now. Note: You only get the plot mission/quest if you use the scan mode (shift + 2) and run up to a signal on a station. I ignored the plot, just thinking it was another random quest. Luckily it was offered again later on as i was learning to scan stations.
Thats it for me so far. X4 started out kinda difficult to learn, and very barren in space but now that the universe has had several ...well almost two days of IRL game time, things are heating up. NPC's are building stations, and ive started to see skirmishes here and there. Its getting better and better!
Should have put in how to hire a ship captain. It isn't intuitive. Just try to hire anyone, then when the property screen shows up make sure you right click the ship and choose select, then you can choose what position on the ship (or station , I suppose) you want that person to fill, then click hire to complete the deal.
Yeah, it took me forever to figure that out. In X:Rebirth the crew were distinguished by type -- Captains, Pilots, Engineers, etc.... In this game there seems to be Managers, Crewmen and Marines. So finding a captain bewildered me. Then I realized I just have to promote a crewman to captain or set position to captain on first assignment. I wish the game made that more clear.
Should also mention building station components is similar, in that you have to assign a construction ship in a similar manner, queue the building, then "find" a buildership on the map (I recommend leaving a few Sats near shipyards as that is where builders hang out when not occupied) then in the station build menu which you can access anywhere click the buildship dropdown and it will open the map and you then assign the build ship from the map (remember we asked for the ability to do everything from the map, well, now we can only do things from the map it seems) remember if you didn't right click "select" you didn't do it, and make sure you fund the construction with the estimated required cash, else the builder will just sit on its thumbs. Once it has the cash it will fly around and buy the Materials then head to the station and begin construction. I believe if you do not supply the cash, a temporary storage depot will be established for you to transfer the materials there either personally or via one of your transport ships, but this will only appear if you have a builder ship assigned. I haven't done it that way yet.
and to sell a ship you own you do that from the map as well... target the shp you want to sell and select where you want to sell it. Not sure if the ship needs to already be in range of the shipyard/wharf or not, mine was. (Shipyards are for large transports or Capships, and wharfs are for small transports or fighters. Either can be refit at equipment docks. Not sure if you can refit a fighter at a shipyard or a large ship at a wharf (haven't tested).
I can tell the modders are gonna have a field day with this game
Star wars!
Star Trek!
X3 Kyoto Class! (I seriously loved that ship)
Just gab yes this needs to be a thing!
I really hope there's an awesome Star Trek mod with full blown epic arch story and missions. 🤩
I need a Millennium Falcon so I can make faster runs with my crew.
Babylon 5 anyone? :)
6:35 a little tip, if you fire off a second scan, you can get a relative trajectory of and identify any Unidentified signal that is actually a ship. Being that ships move, the second scan will let you see a change in position, indicating that it is in transit.
It's Egosoft. Their games are more of an investment than a product, but they always deliver in the end. Unlike other devs.
I dunno, the X:Rebirth game was pretty awful.
Here's hoping X4 is going to be better and cleaner X3 because I always wanted to get into this series but it's REALLY difficult of an undertaking.
Was really hoping Rebirth would be just that but, yeah, we know how that one went.
rebirth was a still-birth to this day
Meanwhile, back in reality, all of the previous x-games are unplayable garbage except for one.
ua-cam.com/video/fom5b-9exZ4/v-deo.html
the M-system made a lot of sense when you are a X-veteran...
in the first game there were only M5 (scouts), M4 (medium fighters), M3 (heavy fighters), M2 (carriers), M1 (Battleships), TS (normal cargo ships) and TL (giant cargo ships).
So it really made sense back then. The smaller the number the bigger the ship.
It started to become strange when the introduced M6 (corvettes), M7 (frigates), M7M (missile frigates), M8 (torpedo bombers) and all the Plus and XL variants... It basically broke the system.
The big positive feature of the system was that you knew exactly what to expect from a certain ship and what could go against what. Nowadays you just know that it's an S or an M etc but the differences between the ships in one category are sometimes ludicrous.
You forgot the TP (passenger ships) :D Yeah, that system got a bit confusing as they added more and more.
They do still have a distinction between trade, mine and fight ships of the same size. It's just that it's conveyed only by the icon, rather than an "M" type thing.
I had no trouble remembering the M classes personally, but I think it's fine for Egosoft to want to break out of it.
@@MegaJohnny Yea, I didn't have problems remembering it either, but it would probably be a bit confusing for new players.
I think it would've worked nicely if they had small, medium, large categories, but then added the letter designation next to it. Like M = Military, P = Personal, T = Transport.
That way, they keep everything categorized so at first glance of the ship type, you know exactly what you're getting/looking at. You could also have "custom" ships that are unique so they don't fit into the standard categorization methods, which end up categorized Medium-U or Small-UT (Unknown Transport).
I scrunched my face up when this tool said that m8's were scouts and m0's were carriers
"Would the parents of the argon girl by the name of Suzie, please pick her up at the casino... Thank you..."
Lol, nice! I see what you did there =)
Classic line, Suzie is one well travelled kid despite how neglectful her parents are.
Please do not wave a station security cameras...distracted operators lead to undetected crime.
Someone explain the ref, please? For some reason I'm thinking R&C but not sure.
@@restlesswretch3555 It was one of the quotes from the random space station announcements in X2 and also in X3. The one about "Suzie" at the casino is very memorable as you could hear it pretty much anywhere. It was in a way the X-universe version of "arrow to the knee" :)
Make this a series pleeaassee
I own Elite and I backed SC. And I am actually playing X4 :-) :-)
How do you compare the 3
@@Sanguinarius9999 I have Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen (original backer from 2012) and am playing X4. X4 feels more like Eve Online (the economy, with real players replaced with NPCs) mixed with Elite (the flying/combat), mixed with Star Citizen (walking around on your ship, EVA, walking around on stations), mixed with what the X games are traditionally known for (empire building, NPC/AI employees and crew, etc).
X4 has a steep learning curve, I'm about 5 or 6 hours in (didn't know much about the X games in the past, although did play a little X3:TC), but every 'ah hah' moment is really rewarding. I just bought my first non-starter ship after randomly finding crystals on asteroids that in total were worth about 4 million $. It was enough to buy 2 mining ships and an extra small fighter to protect the miners, fully crewed, etc. I had some left over to upgrade the starter ship and hire a captain for everything, so now I just let my employees/npc's do all the work.
It's a very rewarding game, some small bugs (nothing game breaking), but otherwise well worth the purchase, especially if you like or play any of those games used to compare. I'd rather play X4 instead of any of those other games. Only thing really lacking is multiplayer, but the subreddit on reddit.com found some signs that multiplayer is actually already in the game, but disabled somehow...we'll see if that ever happens officially. :)
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
i played from x2 and im also backer of sc proud owner of retaliator xd and i got imperial drop ship full eng in elite but elite is meh borring when i got infinite cash on bugged toxic waste trade game stop getting any interesting
@@slandshark i think a co-op mode for atleast 4 player could be more than perfect and make thing more easy in the managment department
Thanks for a very informative video. I just bought X4 today and was wowed by the gorgeous graphics. Spent ages just walking around docks on station watching the ships arriving and leaving. Then I was at a loss what to do next. Went looking for my ship, nowhere to be seen. Finally figured out I had to call it up lol. Once in space flew around a bit had a dog fight but was at a loss how to do stuff. Just watched this and it really helped. I used to play X3 but had forgotten how lol. Rebirth was so disappointing bought it, hated it never played it again lol. Till X4 came out. Tried to get into Rebirth but hated the silly "roads in space" and the Skunk. Xmas gifts gave me some funds so I decided to jump in and buy X4 at full price. AND I LOVE IT!. This is what I had expected Rebirth to be......
This was very helpful. I've played quite a lot of X2 and X3AP, and was a bit overwhelmed, especially with the three modes for your ship.
Thanks a lot!
10:52 a Game finally gave landing procedures a go for player immersion!! FINALLY :D
Awesome information, thank you. I really hope you will make a little tutorial on how to setup a HOTAS on X4 because that’s a real pain in the butt.
No real info out there how to do it.
Hope to see some more tutorials
Seems like a very reasonable ui for a complex game. Whats the deal with sci-fi games always having abysmal UI XD
ua-cam.com/video/fom5b-9exZ4/v-deo.html
sci-fi games are made by nerds that's why they have abysmal UIs
xilllllix just be happy they dumb it down for you.
@@xilllllix opposed to the "not nerds" who make non-sci-fi games? lol what a stupid comment.
@@notahuman369 well I mean, realistically not everyone who works on a game is a nerd even though that's the common stigma.
NPC's com chatter, if its directed at your (Turn on Subtitles in game options) it will show up in white text, and if its directed at another AI its grey text, good to know this to keep you updated if you and an ai is going to be jumped by pirates etc.
I hope this game gets supported in the long term. Been a long time since I've been excited for a game, and X4 has peaked my interest.
egosoft always supports there games.. hell look at rebirth that game was a piece of shit of a piece of shit.. egosoft stuck with it now with update 4.3 I can say its a completely amazing game.. I played over 1000 hours when they fixed it.. I cud barely handle 10 hours at launch and x4 just looks like the best of all of the X games combined!
@@KingBranDaBroken Yeah they'll definitely be expanding this a lot. Don't worry about that.
More of this game please. Love your stuff shack. been watching for about 4 years now.
if you press the back button while space walking it will stop you from drifting around helpful when repairing your ship also if you stay next to your ships docking port then you can get back in quickly if your attacked and it will shield you from fire unless they come from beneath your ship
Good post. Nice to see a very useful and well-presented introduction to X4. Looking forward to you doing a series on this game.
02:50 you probably hit a space anomaly; they're like gates but take you to non-adjacent systems and must be discovered through scanning. But you can still cross them while free flying and you will be still teleported away.
Thanks to your small review/tutorial im getting this today as soon as i can :)
10:33 Docking computer reduces the distance and accuracy you need to dock, Mk1 makes the docking mini-game a lot easier and Mk2 pretty much removes the mini-game entirely.
I love 3rd person! It gives me the feeling of Freelancer!
Amazing game that was
Best game ever
Freelancer A5-5
@@sirchieftain7609 Freelancer A1-1
Try X Beyond the frontier to feel...
11:52 You said "you can use your transporter if you want". I tell you from my own experience. NEVER use your space suit while docked in a station! I tried it once and couldn't get back in because the entrance was below the ship. :D
Funny to see that they managed to pull of most of the things Star Citizen developers CIG is telling us they are spending so much time with developing. And there you have X4 with not as close as much budget or staff at the company. :D
20 people working on this game and you can't even compare the budget. It's like an indie studio.
@@fidlessf6397exactly
Damn this is pretty cool... I wish Elite would have something similar like get out of your ship at stations and go to a bar and meet other cmdrs or pick some special missions that require space walk.
Oh man. X3 brings back so many memories. I put so many hours into those games. Glad to hear it's like prelude and terran conflict rather than X3 rebirth... The reviews alone were enough to away from rebirth.
1:59 you hold down left click then use right click to fire at the cursor. 23:50, you don't have to go into the hole, just requesting docking and running near it will board you.
I got a sense of Freelancer that brought me back to the old days. Good video.
I played X3 and bought this game yesterday. I did not have a clue what to do apart from floating around trying to point my space craft in the right direction. Hopefully this vid helps. Going to load up the game and alt tab to try every tip.
Good to see this, and happy to find you again, apparently at some point in the past YT unsubbed me >.
Was watching another stream and yes, one of the missions found from scanning will get you a very key component to your progression. That's about s much as I can say without it being a spoiler.
I have to admit you've made the most interesting and most informative X4 video I've seen. I brought the game some time ago and now I'm just waiting to get into space.
Thank you :-))...
i had a "shipless" empire in X3 TC and AP. basically all of my stations were self sustaining, once you brought a load of about 200 crystals, they became energy cells, the energy cells filtered through the ore/silicon mines and cattle/ beef farms, which in turn powered the crystal fabs, which provided more energy cells, and then the surplus would filter into all the weapons factories, and boom, the loop was completed.
I only had about 8 transport ships in the end, once i had my HQ and was printing ships myself, i needed the ships to provide the HQ with resources, there was no way of making that self sustaining
My mines of fortune complex could produce 48 gamma PPCs, and 18 of the best shields per cycle. i had 100 + destroyers and went to war with the xenon hard i even had the jump gate hub operational, and connected my 3 complex sectors together, and the 4th gate connected to getsu fune, so i could have easy access to xenon space. which happened to be in the North West, South West, North East, and South East of the map, so you could do the whole tetris thing, and go out of the left side of the map, and come out at the right hand side of the map, without having to undertake the long usual journey
When your in cruse mode and get out of your chair there is a setting under general I think and you can choose to keep your engines on and continue your course while your out of your chair. Makes it easy especially if your being attacked and you need to look at your map because every time you do your ship stops witout this setting turned on.
I can’t wait to get this! And I really enjoyed the stream last night!
Love this video, I just bought it it seems overwhelming but this was a great little taster to give a good over view great work!
Thanks for getting this out so quickly. Everybody is making mistakes and sucking up info at light speed. Took me half an hour to find I travelled faster in travel mode and not scan...DOH! Felt like Steptoes cart. ps. subbed
Shack will you do a series of it or just playing it on twitch?
I do plan on doing a series :D
@@CaptainShack glad to hear that will be watching when possible on twitch!
@@CaptainShack Im looking forward to the potential for the starwars mod on this, iirc he planned to make it for X4 aswell.
@@ClericOfAstolfo That would rock. Really looking forward to being able to modify the systems on star wars ships.
ua-cam.com/video/fom5b-9exZ4/v-deo.html
This looks amazing, Shack. I look forward to more of this on the channel.
imagine an in depth star wars/ star trek mod
Miksha said that they are going to try to make a star wars mod for X4
stefan lunsmann Compared to X3 he has to worry about interiors as well now as well as ramp animations when docking. Soooo
@@xXFeralArtsXx hence why i said try.
Star Trek would be amazing. It would probably be the best Star Trek game since Bridge Commander. I usually don't go for Star Trek-based games, but a mod like that I would make an exception for.
@@djpeterson7479 star trek would be cool i'm not really a star trek fan though but still cool.
Damn it you deserve a medal!!!!! THANK you for THAT video, way more informative than the few build in tutos...... :-) MANY THANKS for that, REALLY APPRECIATED :-) :-) Cheeers
Wow that pop in
Tip from me: If you are in Travel Mode, your ship takes a while to stop. Just leave your seat and it will stop imediantly :)
That sounds like an exploit to me...
When you get a freighter, can you walk around the ship? Or is it just a cockpit? This game looks absolutely amazing to me. I love space games but I never played any of the X games.
You can only walk in the cockpit
the sound efeects they used for the gun on your ship is the same sound effect that the plasma rifles in halo CE have.
Thanks for the video Ive been beating my head on my desk trying to figure this game out. Im having a much better time now thank you
this is looking promising, love space sim games and this came out of nowhere for me having not played the previous games
You can press "Backspace" to top your spacesuit makes eva a lot easier, works on the ship as well.
4:03
Elite Dangerous: "...shit"
Wow! I knew these games were similar to galaxy on fire 2, Everspace, Elite Dangerous, or maybe even Star Citizen, but the quality of their games seems to have gotten a lot better! Maybe I'll have to have a look at the series again now that I'm looking for a new space game! I can't believe no one talks about this series, seeing how you can walk around in your ship! I had almost completely forgot about these games...
I remember finding this series along with the x4 series, and that one where your ship is basically an ironman transformer suit while looking for a new galaxy on fire game.
the crafting seems way worth it. i picked up some random scrap and was able to craft many first aid kits from, each for 10k sold :D
Hey can I be rude and ask what settings are you using in game and what settings in your screen recorder please? My lets play has been totally crapped on with stutters and that's only showing in the recordings near stations and in the map.
I'm not on a potato, ryzen 2700x, 32gig ram, 2 m.2s os and blank one to render and record to gtx rog 1080ti.. Its the first time im having such an issue.
I already own (and like) X4. But that's a video worth watching! Good job!
See now, I'm an ED player myself but there's one thing that jumps out at me that would make Elite better in my eyes. And that is making the stations interior bigger. I've never been excited about the possibility of space legs but if its like this game, I might change my mind.
Simple question, what is the spec of the machine you are run x4 on ?
Thank you for this video. It was a big help especially with the Wharf information. Now to buy my first fighter ship.
Man I've got such fond memories of X: BTF. I could never get into the sequels, but this looks tempting.
PLEASE...plerase do a video explain the differences in features between X4 and X3 AP. That would be awesome! Like what features did we loose and what did we gain?
the pop in of the asteroids is one of the most immersion breaking things i've ever seen.
You are pretty new on this planet then?
I like how this game takes a lot more free design approach as opposed to Star Citizens strife for maximum realism, those space station escalators are a pretty good solution!
Love the tips, thanks! auto-roll and the menu-speed were driving me nuts!
Thanks for this. I'm so glad they went back to X3 style. That game devoured my life, but I always felt like it was held back by the tech limitations of the time, meaning no ship and base exploration, cockpit views etc... This is what I hoped rebirth would be.
I'm glad to hear that there are less bugs than in Rebirth. But I'm gonna wait a bit, seeing that there are still some small things - like the non-stop combat music^^
I'm hoping that the universe won't be as empty as seen here as well, even though 18 Billion used to be pretty empty in previous games, too, if I remember correctly.
Also the reason why you got confused by the ship classes is probably because there used to be only M5 to M1, where bigger ships had smaller numbers. In later games they added classes in between and just continued classifying them as M6, M7 and so on. So the size didn't fit the number anymore ;)
Pease make many many more X4 vids man, great tips!
I like the the tour of the X4 Foundations game. But for those who never ever heard or played this game like me. A what this game is all about for new players would be nice.
Hey, Cap, could you please tell whats your PC specs are?
I was so relieved looking on game in this video. It looks exactly like what I would expect from sequel to X3.
Specially all the flat UI that shows that it is functional and not just to appeal visually, love it.
Now I can pretend that X: Rebirth or whatever never happened and just pretend it was X3 -> X4 all along.
Really happy that Egosoft delivered on this.
Hopefully it has full joystick support. The last several X games required silly efforts to make rudder pedals work.
It does have HOTAS support but......
Roll is not mapped as an analogue axis. So my rudder pedals are just huge squishy on/off buttons for my feet.
I'm really enjoying it so far. definitely has that X3 feel!
Go to your key binds and change your Sprint to W there really is no need to use W for the standard move forward option.
Hmm the escalators is something Star Citizen could learn from.
Lol... Why? SC has trains
Oh... And planets to land on
lol SC, coming out soon in the year 3000 and then perishing emidetelly because all other games do the same thing already at 0.2% the price of the development of SC. This has happened before in the game industry and even in video. If it takes too long to produce, it dead already. There are no exceptions.
In what way is SC taking too long? Just 5 years in the making till now. From scratch without big money...or a studio.
I getting tired of people who don't know what they're talking about
@@Chris-kh2vi listen to yourself man. Just listen how you sound. You are like one of those guys in a cult. You are so into it that you no longer see the big picture. Your blindness is in the mind and not the eyes caused by this utter devotion to this cult
Thanks XP.
I am old X gamer that prefers X2 and felt X3 onwards removed too much realism to be good, but i found your video encouraging. X4 Rebirth not that impressive either. But i think they are starting to add things back now.
Looks better than Elite Online (yes I said Elite online because even in single player its online only and they didnt mention this anywhere, what happens when people stop playing elite, the game will end when player count drops) But I think this X4 is gunna be my replacement space fix, it looks good.
3.0 is out now with a new DLC. Good time to come back and see whats new. :)
You can hold down the left click to control your ship, like EVERY X game. I know everyone is freaking out about the controls, like they messed them up. I was all worried when I got into the game, and I was all like, uhhh yeah basic X controls, hold down left click to control your ship, and all other buttons do what they have always done. This game has far fewer bugs, but I DO NOT LIKE the gate system. I really wish there was a better system setting up warp gates. They should be HUGE INDUSTRIAL POWER PLANTS using the power of a man-made black hole to create a warp tunnel. I dunno, I am just so confused about how to get anywhere. I feel dumb with this gate system :(
Ive heard you call it cruise mode and fast mode. But never Travel Mode, which is what its actually called xD
lmao the combat music is bugged. it won't stop playing
Yeah had to turn it off myself. No biggy, I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough.
@@theplaidpilot8156 xenos? or xenons?
@@theplaidpilot8156 Ah, ok. Just that xenos is often a catch-all word that means "aliens", while xenons are the X-universe name for a rogue AI civilization.
Just FYI, egosoft has already patched the combat music bug. In fact, they've had like 3 or 4 patches out already fixing quit a bit with another patch due out today/tomorrow. They are in-stride with X4 release. Well done egosoft!
I miss the target camera. The cockpit feels "dead" system wise. Be awesome if your target camera locked on the guy and he guides you into land by watching him.
when i talk to some ships i can ask where is the next ... so its possible to ask for shipyards and so some help and some dont
Excellent video. Very informative.
It's a very good foundation for the X-series. I love *X2: The Threat* (yes, the one with the funny animations of people) and *X3: Reunion* - though it's been years since I played these games. I wish EgoSoft would invest more when you're in the stations, with he NPC's, as they are a bit clunky (check out when they respond and twist their neck). And they need more of the NPC's as they seem very few of them at any time. I suspect I'll spend some thousands of hours into this game. Though I think I'll really like building space-stations and set up an economy.
This update looks fantastic! They did a fabulous job with it
9:34 "Stop, Mercy!"
Shack: "No mercy for thieving scum!"
Excellent overview. SO thrilled to have a new X game that seems to get closer to what they want. I have >1000 hours in X2, but never managed to get into Rebirth, which was a great disappointment as it had such promises. It just didnt do it for me. Now with Foundations I may finally have the chance to get back into it :)
A Wharf is also used to quickly establish how strong a newly introduced character is by defeating the Wharf, eventually causing the "Wharf effect" that makes it look like it's only producing puny S & M ships.
Thank you for the video. I always enjoy them. I would like to see more X4 Foundations when you can do them.
Good lord, this looks like such a well-polished version of X3.
HOTAS control support needs a bit more love from the devs. Especially if you want to switch between the mouse and HOTAS the map keeps moving around for some reason. Might be my gear, but there is also an issue I am having with the throttle being hard to caliber and has full throttle when it's pulled back entirely so there is a very fine sweet spot for reversing. For now, I would recommend mouse and keyboard until a patch fixes these issues.
Other than that I've had fun being kidnapped by a capital ship while visiting his ship on station having to EVA back that took 20min since the EVA moves at the awesome speeds of 4m/h. 8 with boost. (PS: there are upgrades for the EVA thrusters)
Elite Dangerous, watch and learn.
Clunky, bad flight sim... combat sucks.... watch what?
@@SofaKingJAD3D if grinding and stale gameplay is up your alley, then go play Elite.
I'm new to the X series and this video was very interesting, thank you.
I LOVE THE HEXAGON MAP OMG
cant wait to see a star destroyer interior mad in this ad the ship docking to the station, rows of tie fighters and x-wings in the bays
Look cool! You should suggest to the developers to make a Stargate Mod with the aliens from the shows in it, allies or enemies.
Cool ship by the way.
I didn't play after X3 because IMO they moved too far away from the X recipe I loved... but this is SQUARELY back in the X Universe's sweet spot: Fly everything, own anything, hard to learn and nearly zero handholding... but incredibly rewarding when you get it right. I remember in X3 days owning carriers with tons of S ships - now I'm back to owning one Vanguard and working for a couple hours just to get it upgraded to be modestly capable... I need mo money!
i am watching this while downloading the big anniversary bundle on steam
Does the game has any kind of joystick/gamepad support?
I really would like to manage the free-move/cruise speed with a gamepad, and the adv commands on the keyboard.
Ex X2/X3 veteran here, In X2 was used to remap some commands to a gamepad connected over the serial port in order to have some real dogfighting experience.
I do hope that this is, as you said, an upgrade to AP, and no crap from Rebirth. It would be nice to have a good X game to build an empire in. Been a while.
