My man you did a better job selling the DLC than Egosoft did. I was going to buy it anyway to support the devs but I wasn't plan on really playing it. Now I absolutely will. I want those ships!
Absolutely spot on, I'd bought it, didn't particularly enjoy the first mission, and struggled to work out I was meant to jump on the coat hook. Hearing Mr Rugged Gamer getting so e cited make me realise I'm gonna have to do them all tonight ❤
the soapporo reminds me of the earth destroyers from Babylon 5
Pretty brazen of ES to clearly copy/aquire the exact Frameworkof of this iconic B5 Ship. For a small Dev to do this takes some big Balls. I aproove.
Be nice and shoot those Xenons.
I was about to comment this. So much yes and I love it!
The Sapporo first appeared in X BTF, which was released around a month after Crusade ended, and a year after B5 did. It has two different forms in its appearances. The Sapporos in the cutscenes had no spinning section, but the one in the tutorial that commands the X does. The one in X4 is mostly based on the latter, so it's probably a retrofit of the original 2146 ships.
Had exact same thought.
@@kraosdadafusfus8034 I was looking for this comment!
That is the ooold terran destroyer from BtF intro!!!
The sapporo is the ship from the beggining of X-btf , the Terran capital ship in orbit of Earth,before Kyle starts the jumpdrive
Canonically, Sapporos can survive reentry and landfall. The Dragonfyre crash-landed on Argon Prime shortly after the Terraformer War, and it survived and was repaired. It was the first flagship of the Argon Federation.
Man the Sapporo also immediatly reminded me of the Stiletto from the Game "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident". I don't know why but I just love the rotating part on a ship, even if it does or doesn't make sense.
Thanks for showing these. I bought the expansion but haven't played it yet.
The plane you couldn't remember the name of is the F-117 Nighthawk.
The Odachi does look like Star Citizen ships and one in particular - the Hurricane. It's a glass cannon heavy fighter with one big turret and a couple of support weapons. It's one of my favorite ships in SC, so I'm a big fan of the Odachi as well.
I agree, the Dart is beautiful. It actually looks like a speedboat that rides up above the water, especially with that nose "wing".
The F does kind of look like the Yaki Moreya. Both are among my favorites.
The Experimental Shuttle is vying with the Odachi for my favorite ship of the expansion. I've wanted one ever since I saw it in the promotional videos.
I think the Sport ships are stupid. They should have come up with more new or throwback ships with original hulls instead. Oh well...
Thanks for the info!
Funny you should mention Star Citizen. When I retrieved the reward Odachi after "earning" it the 1st thing to pop into my head was that RSI and Aegis did a collaboration ship. It has Zeus MkII and Vanguard Sentinel written all over it. I'm enjoying Timelines greatly, it's a nice break from the normal X Universe game play.
"cry if I lose ships like this" good news... the xperimental shuttle has mk5 shields so....
Thank you for showcasing the ships! They really nailed the designs, i love how most of these look.
Hope to one day see an update to the elevators and landing pads to match the race and aesthetics. The Argon have a complete monopoly in that regard 🤣
Those Xenon ships are so different to the original Xenon ships. But I didn't even know that they had brought out new ships in this DLC. There was nothing I could see in any of the preview videos.
I was going to delay getting tise Timelines DLC, but now there are several new ships to play with, and paint jobs, I'll have to buy it PDQ.
As for that Stealth Fighter. It's the *_Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk_* you were thinking of.
Do we get only one of this ships (except the xenons) or do we get the blueprint?
@3:00 thats an Earth Force Destroyer from Babylon 5
Do you get Blueprints for the ships too or are they one of a kind?
You get the Blueprints for most of them.
hi nice video, i don't fine blue print of h, f, b .I can get and fix but no build , how you get blue print? i didn't kill unknow ship of xen maybe is after kill this ship? when he get 20% in life he stop to get dommage. can you help me
I shared your video in the steam forums to inform people there because it was frequently asked and because there are going a lot of lies around to harm the developer and prevent players to buy the dlc whats actually work.
The Theseus sport may be quick but it handles like a dump truck, I hated doing the racing mission in that thing.
Well … if all you get is few models
Then its not making me return to the game
The game needs to improve other stuff
Landed interaction
Ship combat so you don need to mico manage every ship for doing stupid suicide actions
Operation menu so you see massages from global view
Those things kill the game play
If you micro all fights
You cant expirience the movie when your ships fight as observer
Also
I think teleport system needs to change
Like build teleport on stations as addon and on big ships
So you can teleport but you need to do action to do it
And plenty more little things
Ships is nice
But game play needs fixing
Its a good game with alot of potential to improve
But …
B5 ship is a good add to the game
I do like it
But it changes nothing
Also the casual questing system …
It needs to be more … logical
They created platform for first person stuff
But its empty of content
One shop
Everywhere
One office everywhere
Station building
Is nice
But it misses the puzzle approach from x3
When you have to think
Where to place stuff so it can connect
Exploration system
You start new game and send chipest ships to explore for you
The approach is wrong
You lose the feeling of exploration
Instead they needed to force you go
Explore sectore
May be drone explore from your ship
Mark stuff findings on map
Then move on
Yes i agree som automation needed
But it has to be you
Else … the huge world they built is …as is you have no connection to it
Trade
I found easy way to make millions early game
No cheating
Exploit of vanilla mechanic
But its a space !!!
Finding new trade rotes is part of the game
Go to station do some talking
Buy/sell info
Invest
Use
Also
Sending suport to traders … not cast effective
They cast much more then the trader does
And almost never protect the ship
There has to be some logic on protection automation
Protectors go to fight
Transport escape
But inserted you gat
Protectors go die
And transport makes a travel into suicide
If you have a big ship in area
Transport first priority when attacked has to be fly for protection
Or if there is gate nearby fly thru gate
I would of a knowladged if it dependent on
Quality of ship commander
Level of stupidity
But it does not
In x3 it was better
Lots was worse
But those aspects were better
I hate when DLC just *gives you* free items in a sandbox.
They should be added to the faction rosters and hulls / blueprints made available for sale.
5:18 When you said 'paint mods', I instead heard 'paid mods' simply because 'Star Citizen' was mentioned only seconds beforehand. I know that SC doesn't have any mods, let alone paid mods, but I think the existence of microtransactions and the bad business practices in the gaming industry these days might be affecting my psyche just a tad.
(Edited to correct grammatical mistakes and for clarification)
@@OhHeyItsLeeGaming no paid mods in this game thankfully:)
As a new player to x4 that really liked the ships. This dlc doesn't respect players' time as it take way too long to restart any of the missions. A all the stuff is locked behind getting high ratings on some of the missions.
I think its the worst dlc i have ever bought and i bought oblivions horse armor.
Ya im oretty pissed off... spent the last 6 hrs trying to get padt the 2nd fkn mission playing on controller is fkn shit!!!! Try to turn a little bit and it turns like its pushing the wasd.. dosent feel analouge at all!!! Gonna go download a mod to get those ships in open world and go back to palying this game from the fkn map!!!
Elite dangerous this is NOT!
You dont need a mod, check out my latest video! (in about 30 mins!)
Will do thanks! I do like the game but im just frustrated as i havent been able to pin down keeping the nose on targets without overshooting them despite playing with the sensitivitys that only seem to affect the walking around camera and not the ship control... appreciate the reply
So...when you unlock the ships are they just derelict in certain systems in the main game?
Sounds like it but there are also bp
NIce one but how do you get the blueprints? I got the H the F the B but I don't know where are the blueprints as in my Wartf I can not build the B and the F?
X3 had Cutlasses too. They were pretty too.
I don't think you can craft the H by unlocking Xenon technologies sadly.
Well, Sapporo ship calls for Sapporo beer..what are the drunk piloting rules in the X universe?
I cant support missuse of alcohol. But ill drink to that.
I don't know why you get more views man. You make some good content.
It is a shame Egosoft just didn't come out with this info directly. Everything I've seen on the DLC I really dislike...and I buy all Egosoft DLCs. This was first I decided to skip. The ships will make it worth it, but that will be only selling point to me. Thank you for sharing this info since they wouldn't.
They have! - Its on the steam page as a spoiler =)
I only see a small problem…i hate those timelines missions! Cant get pass chap.3!!!
So when you beat them in timelines they show up in your open world?
God it was bad. Cool ships though. Has anyone found the Xenon B?
Want support egosoft. So I have bought timelines. Bur..want to olay ,,big space” not timelines but…also wana new ships :( ..Hmmm situation
I would've even bought those venture-skins as mini-transactions...
...no, rly, just give me those damn skins,yo !!
:P
Dislike for not telling where the fu is the ships except Otachi. said it was in getsufune and was there. Very rare video which make me angry.....
The scenario locations are mentioned, and I led what info I was given myself, ill do another with fill locations of where to find them hopefully soon
when you say they drop at x system, what do you mean ?
Youll find them in them systems (I believe)
This will unlock the blueprint or just gives one ship?
Could you make a video covering the new faction introduced and the barter economy it uses?
I sure can!
I see the Stiletto…. No doubt it is nice. However since the entire ship has ‘gravity’ the spinning section seems kind of irrelevant(function wise).
Its still cool xD
Usually the spinning creates a gravitational pull towards the center of the ship or create a gravity bubble, so it's artificial gravity throughout.
The Sapporo also looks like the Conestoga Class Ship from the old Alien Movies. (The Nose)
The USS Sulaco: Registration Number 513792/CTA
by the Second Bravo Battalion Team.
The Sulaco was considered an unlucky ship - it was the thirteenth Conestoga-class vessel to be constructed and had something of an infamous reputation in the USCM
The Ship looks amazing, it will be my new Main. (once i reached this chapter in timeline) ^^
Thanks for the good Content o7
Here some Lore of the USS Sulaco:
In 2179, the Sulaco was dispatched to Acheron (LV-426) under the command of Lieutenant Scott Gorman following the loss of contact with the colony of Hadley's Hope.
Upon reaching the moon, the small contingent of Colonial Marines and advisors from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation deployed to the surface aboard the dropship Bug Stomper, leaving the Sulaco in orbit on automatic pilot.
Following the discovery of a Xenomorph infestation at Hadley's Hope and a disastrous ambush that decimated the Marines on the surface, the Sulaco's backup dropship, Smart Ass, was readied, fueled and brought down to the surface via remote control by Executive Officer Bishop, allowing the few remaining survivors to be evacuated.
Upon returning to the Sulaco, the survivors - Bishop, Ellen Ripley, Corporal Dwayne Hicks, and Rebecca "Newt" Jorden - discovered that the Xenomorph Queen from Hadley's Hope had stowed away aboard Smart Ass.
Ripley engaged the Xeno- Queen in the Sulaco's hangar bay with a Power Loader used to load ordnance onto the dropships, eventually ejecting the Queen into space through an airlock.
Hicks sent a distress call back to the USCM before the remaining personnel entered hypersleep.
On the return journey to Earth, a Facehugger from an Ovomorph left by the Queen,
made its way to the survivors:
and cracked a Cryotube, spilling the Facehugger's blood and causing an electrical fire in the ship's hypersleep chamber.
Due to the fire, the occupied cryotubes were jettisoned in a Type 337 EEV,
which subsequently crash-landed on Fiorina "Fury" 161.
Killing both Newt and Hicks, and damaging Captain Bishop further and leaving Ripley as the sole Survivor.
Stealth Bomber? Either the F-117 Nighthawk (Small Fighter like with sharp edges), the B-2 Spirit (big triangle Bomer both smooth, round and with some edges on the wings) or the B-21Raider (successor of the B-2)
0:20 - Ui ui, the original Xenon ship from the first part from 1999 (prettied up) I missed that design in X4. The current Xenon no longer look like a machine race but like flying woodlice.
3:22 - The ship reminds me a lot of the Terran battleships from the Babylon 5 series, with their rotating section. They were always an eye-catcher when they appeared in the series.
15:31 - Yay yippee, I've missed that ship. And how I hated it back then. Flying around in it for hours. Building my own empire, commanding all kinds of ships but always with the same ship I in. Until the DLC where you could fly everything. But not this nutshell anymore.
The Elite Sport has insane turning
Just to unlock those ship I'm sold. Also it gonna give me a break from my fulltime job as a CEO of an ultimate gigantic empire company
Brought the DLC, today, but still playing ES-2. Looking forward to doing some timelines+not even played the Boron DLC yet ..
progressing further through timelines in sandbox I found Quettanauts faction witch open base modules as standing rewards, same their HQ built with. I got rating 10 after timellines quest and they gave me base connections blueprints, so I tried custom start, made standings 30+ and got nothing. does anyone got rating 20+ with them through missions, I wander what modules it gives?
Yuuuuupp! Buying this just based on this video! Thanks for this! 😍 Pretty sure Egosoft loves you too 😂
Do you get blueprints for these or just one per universe like the Erlking? Or rephrase, do you automatically get the blueprint for finding then or have to do something extra?
I believe you get the blueprint for the new ships when you aquire them (or the research unlock)
@TheRuggedGamer Thanks. Trying to decide if I want to buy it or not. I totally have no interest in the missions but would like the ships. They look pretty good. I just wish by handing them 20$ They would just give me the ships. This missions look stupid from my perspective.
No blue prints that I have seen they are like the Astrid etc
Nice Video! Once I unlocked them through the scenarios, how do I actually get them in my game? Just search for them in the mentioned system with a scout or is there a faster way?
This is what I'm confused about also, can you make a video once the vehicles are unlocked in the timelines scenario how do you acquire them in the sandbox universe from a fresh start and it would be an opportunity to make a good video
If I' ve understood it correctly, you find them like the derelict ships that are scattered about the universe, atleast when I completed certain missions I get a message of "unappropriated vessel in X sector"
@@Jonas.A.Larsen I had to start a new game with the second time around.I was able to the ships, I wonder if there's blueprints associated with them. Because at some point I would like to build them and not just have them won't be a one-off that I find that can be destroyed.
So when you unlock the ships are you able to build them and buy them? Or are some exclusive one off derelicts? I really like the H and would like to build a contingent of them to patrol systems.
I believe you unlock blueprints for most if not all, when you aquire the ships
I think the new boosting sound is exclusive to the Frontier engines, which are fitted to the Xperimental Shuttle, Cutlass, Odachi and Sapporo. They all come with the Frontier equipment, including engines, shields and weapons.
The experimental shuttle looks so cool has a good base speed but its weapons suck, they hit hard but they are all over the place.... will still use it as it looks so cool😊
117
the stealth bomber
I finished the first graph and unlocked the xenon H. I found it in tharkas cascade 15 but I cannot board it. It’s just sitting there and I can’t find the scan part to take control and enter the ship
The old ships have nuclear engines I believe is maybe the lore reason why they sound different, since they predate when every race switched to the energy cell based engines they use now. Since nuclear was deemed unsafe if I recall correctly, been a bit since I've delved through the lore.
Odachi really looks like a weaponized Concorde and i love it (the actual real life super sonic commercial plane)
The design on these new ships are spot on 👌! Much more real than the previous ones!
The big question I have is: Do these ships unlock for AI factions too? If only I can use them, I don't really care, frankly
As far as I know Player only
what about non-flyable ships? I could have sworn I saw reference to the gigantic cylindrical Xenon ship that VRO used as the model for their "U".
You mean that may be added to the game as an opposition?
@@TheRuggedGamer Yeah. Your video shows everything that you can unlock, but are there new ships in the DLC that aren't unlocked but still part of the game?
BTW this video has pretty much convinced me to buy the expansion and one day continue my series. Was going to hold off since I'm really in it for the traditional X playthroughs.
Yeah...I am adding primary weapons.
once you unlock them by completing the scenario, do you unlock them in a current save file, or do you have to start a new game?
you unlock them in all current and future save files
This is only ships, will you make a video about the sectors and the free ship locations ?
Thank you
Yes, I mentioned 4 of the 7 sectors in this vid
i thought you were also going to show the new sectors, the new faction, the new spacestation modules and points of interest that come in this dlc
Just the ships for this one, sectors I have a video ready to edit
B1 stealth bomber, its the wing ends / edges, I have to say some of the nicest ships in X4
B-1 isn't stealth though
Incredible. Instead of implementing them as regular ships (perhaps limiting access to them like high price, alliance with a faction, reputation...whatever) and enriching the game, they've released boring ass DLC which places one model per ship somewhere in the universe...i didn't know it was possible to fail at every step, but egosoft has done it
F117 stealth fighter
i though it was Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
Or the B2 stealth bomber
@@LeoSiegfried SR71 is the recon jet from the 70s-current day. You should check out the SR72 that is ready to fly.
Out of all the choices, I also thought about the F-117 stealth fighter.
nice one rugged, i'm not playing atm coz busy and don't mind the spoilers so glad you've thrown it together for us
Yeah I got home from work.... 2 hours ago... Thats how quickly I threw it together haha
Pretty sure you already knew it or someone already told you, but the X-Perimental shuttle is a reproduction of the player's ship in the first game (you could only fly one and specifically this one).
Nope, Thats news to me! I didnt catch the early games
@@TheRuggedGamer I'm not saying you should play them, but I started X Beyond the Frontier recently and for a game almost as old as me, it still holds up quite well. Sure, it feels old compared to X4, but it's still both playable and enjoyable.
@mathdarven5634 ive seen a lot of the community, players and content creators both, still play the older ones
What would be even cooler is completing a scenario with 5 stars and still finding special ships still to unlock...not too many, maybe 2 or 3 more hidden behind a full completion of a scenario, just a idea :D .
All the unlocks are behind 1 star completions. There are some that unlock in an epilogue in your open universe once youve completed timelines
Nope. Paint jobs though, why not. Let everyone be able to unlock the ships they bought with the DLC without having to become extremely skilled at the game, but I'm down for skins. It's been years since I had to unlock my drip by being good rather than pulling out the credit card.
@@mathdarven5634 you literally need 1 star, and its not hard to get it to be fair
@@TheRuggedGamer Yes, 1 star is absolutely fine. I was more reacting to the possibility to have unlockable ships at 5 stars.
new weapons?
THX
I want more than one Odachi lol
You get the blueprint
@@TheRuggedGamer, what i know is, that you only see the blueprint, when you lose your reward ship. Like with Erlking.....proof me wrong? Btw i had other paintmods on my reward ships.
new faction?
Ive not showcased them yet
so these are all ships you only get 1 of each? no way to build more?
You could capture xenon ships but they were some of the hardest for there rank in x3.
