    Tip for Argon rep, set up miners in the massive asteriod sector next to argon prime, (usually to thr top left) , And set their mine and sell to that sector only. This means your miners mine, and sell ores to argon, which means you trade, and it means passive rep and money. I always use this trick. It wont get you all the way there but it can make the early grind quick

    In my current playthrough the Xenon have been super aggressive. My first trip through Argon Prime found a pair of K Destroyers sweeping through the system with no resistance, the Argon had to completely rebuild their wharf and shipyard, still really sparse there. There is near constant fighting in Hatikvahs Choice, the Xenon are regularly attempting to build stations there. My mining and trade ships are all in Boron, Segaris, and Antigone Republic space. Only recently built up enough cash to start buying Destroyers. I had to kill a K that came into Heretic's End from Wretched Skies, in my at the time lone Boron Ray.

    • @christianhagel6835

      In a recent Run i learned that Boron defense stations are amazing to fend off the Xenon in lynchpin sectors. 11 Defense modules with the large pule net launchers and medium pulse guns kill pretty much anything (although i have not seen a Xenon I in that run). I build them in Hatikvahs choice, the Void and was working on the split that just get pummeled in every run i do, poor sods. Interesing tidbit: once the Void and Hatikvah were secure the Argon really ramped up and started being agressive towards everyone :D

      AI often needs help against Xenon, they can be quite bad at dealing with them

    • @Matrix2Strata017
      @Matrix2Strata017 Рік тому +1

      Main problem is AI fleets are naturally small and they typically fly off their territories to patrol sectors they don't really need to. Xenon forcibly have larger fleets as they have to distribute their forces from 4-5 points against all factions. Against the combined power of all factions, Xenon are weaker. If Xenon actually focus a large force at one sector one faction at a time, like Hatikvah's Choice, they can win the sector. Argon, by itself can't hold Hatikvah's Choice or Morning Star, it's fleet size is small and they are always spread out and can fail to respond to an all out Xenon attack, as in, they won't pull their fleets back to stop them, instead they continue to let their fleets wander aimlessly while they get trampled. This forces player intervention. It's better to build ships instead of buying, you can start easy cashflow from a hull parts factory, cheap and easy and low maintenance. One of the Argon missions teaches you this.

    As someone with about 500 hours in X4 (and another 1500-ish in the older titles), it's always great to see more people get sucked in. It's one of the only franchises where you start with practically nothing, but by the end you can have a fully self-sufficient empire, with multiple giant shipyards churning out battleships for your war with the game's major factions.
    For anyone willing to forgive the game's flaws and find their own blend of fun within its sandbox, there's almost no other experience like it.

    Set your wharf prices to 150%; everyone still buys your ships and you make a fat profit.
    As for your own M ships, I recommend using the Split Boa. It has a small cargo capacity, but it's by far the fastest trade ship, meaning higher throughput and the ability to escape from pirates. The best M miners are, again, Split; the Alligators go so ridiculously fast that you'll rarely if ever lose any of them. The only drawback with Split is that the game seems to not have a good queue system for multiple ships wanting the same dock, so you'll need that 8m docking port at your factories, possibly more with a megafactory.

Every bounty also runs to Grim hex to hide and server hop :/ in 8 years of playing SC i have never been attacked on a peaceful trade run, only maybe 7 times while running illegal goods (what you're thinking of was the Pyro Playtest where this murder hobo nonsense started, this is what happens when you deprive players of good PvP content for years lol)

      @hellgeist_ i'm pretty high end on the PvP side of things. Meta consists currently of just corkscrews and tricording. You do these 2 things with the current system and you become unhittable over 500m away from whoever you're fighting. Even in AUS servers it's not that bad. You only ever get ganked if you run illegal goods; if you do only PvE content, the chances of running into PvP is next to none; Star Citizen needs *more* pvp orientated gameplay, not less
      (My take as someone who both equally engages in higher end PvP content and PvE content over the course of about 8 years)
      But we shall have to wait to see how pyro goes and all the reputation systems coming into play. Me and my buddies legally Pirate in SC (we pirate the pirates and drug haulers and take their stuff for ourselves) because honestly.. fighting people who don't fight back is boring
      And again.. 9/10 times player bounties just camp out in GH and server hop
      *your average SC player is also a very bad pilot, the skill gap between your average (90% players) and good (top 10%) is so massive that if you learn those couple tricks i talked about above you are basically a pro player

      And my 8 year comment was no flex, thats just a note of my level of experience with the game as an active player for (most) of that time
      I *want* more of a challenge in PvP, I don't *want* to not fear a fully crewed hammerhead; because right now, when I see a fully trained org in a hammerhead I see a big ol piñata with no ability to hit me whatsoever if I corkscrew due to the aim assist being easy to throw off. I fear a gladius/arrow/blade with a sweaty player 100x more than I fear most multicrew ships. Also the meta won't be multi-crew big ships in well trained Orgs, the meta will be every ship has its own place (hopefully atleast)

    Starfield's OK. _But it's no X4!_
    _Name me another space game where you can;_
    1 - Go into 3rd person mode.
    2 - Ask your "M" class ship to dock on your "XL" ship.
    3 - Meanwhile, you're in your "S" class ship and telling your pilot of that "S" class ship, to dock on the "M" class ship that's going to dock on the "XL" ship.
    4 - So with orders placed, I'll sit back and watch the action unfold 8-))...
    It's my _"thing"_ I do in X4.
    It's good fun to do. Watching your "S" class land on the "M" class then, while still on the "S" class, that's now on the "M" class, watching that "M" class land on the "XL" class.

    A valuable tip for Defense Stations: build them in Closed Loop, this requires that you use Argon modules only, but reduces the material to Hullparts, Energy Cells and Claytronics.
    Now given the rarity of Claytronics, it´s still easier to get than the excessively rare Turret Components (unless you build them yourself...).
    However i have by now build several minimalistic Defense Stations that allow me to keep Xenon Incursions in check thanks to Closed Loop.
    Only Terran Construction is this efficient and simple! But much more expensive.

      It actually helps trade routing instead of a huge megastation. Imagine shopping at the grocery store, but you only pick up 1 item at a time, instead of multiple items at once, that's the basic of X trading. That clogs the traders at docks especially the L class, M/S are not cost effective and helpless against attackers. Also the station designer can be overloaded by too many modules, this is why mods exist to help by increasing production yields, same with cargo capacity. Trade stations are a bit different, you make this if you want a centralized depot to trade out of, and not actually make it closed loop, but you can if your PC and station designer can handle it, as well as making adequate L docks. This is also the same for Shipyards, you shouldn't make it closed loop, but you can. On top of the listed problems, they also can't truly sustain themselves because sometimes they won't trade in or trade out supplies, requiring upstream factories.

      Good thing about X4 we can both play at our own pace and have lots of fun doing it without ever missing out on anything.

      I think is about experience. Is a lot easier to do things when you have the know-how: missions payed well, obtain blueprints, hunt for xenon drops, piracy (early boarding miners/low crew L ships or builders with 3-4 M-traders).

      @@xizzard You're not wrong there. Although I've not played X4 for like 3 years before making this video, it all quickly came back to me once I started flying around again.

    100 hours to this? Woah - I played many hundreds of hours but never got around making an economic imperium like you did there

      It really depends on what you want to focus on, I love just flying around joining smaller fights, but for this I wanted to grow as big as possible.
