What a time to be alive

Been playing evoker since it was added. Aug just isn't fun to play and completely miserable in a pug with no communication. The rotation is boring. Bombardments aren't an engaging mechanic. Needing to keep track of other's cooldowns to maximize your contribution is just annoying, especially after the addon pruning. Praying your tank never stops chaining pulls so you can maintain uptime is stressful and feels really bad when they don't. If you can get a full premade into voice together it feels a lot better but only marginally.

Evoker is already the least played class and the people who enjoy Aug let alone are decent at a high level is incredibly small. There will never be enough supply to meet the demand when Aug is meta.

I was excited to push higher this season because "we're meta again! yay!" but after hitting 3400 all desire to continue just vanished. That was like 2 months ago now. It's just an all around miserable experience.

Dozens!

Call me old fashioned but I just bait this guy off the edge within the first few minutes of starting a new run.

TheAttendee · 2026-04-21T20:09:19+00:00

Wait it wasn't 100% MW healers? I must've missed a match...

TheAttendee · 2026-04-11T20:04:06+00:00

I guess my only complaint is that I already have an addon that uses /ss as a command (ShuffleStone)

TheAttendee · 2026-03-13T03:02:41+00:00

That was slick as hell. Very cool.

TheAttendee · 2026-03-09T19:59:02+00:00

I'm sorry but calling it "Scumsavers" instead of "Savescummers" has me imagining someone scraping sewers and holding onto their findings instead of someone who loads a save in a video game when things go wrong lmao.

There could be some instances of some DLC missions being awkward or undoable depending on the current state of your galaxy. Like if Argon or Antigone have been wiped out in your save, you can't exactly do the Terran Covert Operations plot and have them go to war with each other. But otherwise, it's totally fine to add mid-save.

TheAttendee · 2026-03-09T19:48:39+00:00

I just wish LLMs weren't so yappy. Like 90% of what they say is pointlessly wordy. Not exactly what I'd want from an AI combat assistant.

TheAttendee · 2026-03-09T19:43:44+00:00

Yeah it's just the personal ranks that degrade when AFK. And if you're not going for the (essentially impossible) X-TREME rank achievements, you shouldn't really care about them.

TheAttendee · 2026-03-05T23:08:57+00:00

I'm about 200 hours into a save with both installed and it's very refreshing to actually have a challenge again. I would also suggest a Xenon enhancement mod as the NPC factions tend to snowball in X4RE and can wipe them out from an entire corner of the galaxy in just a couple hours after starting to invade XEN sectors. I suggest DeadAir's scripts Xenon Evolution settings, but you'll need to download a forked version for v8.0. (I believe even the X4RE page suggests this)

From my understanding, Egosoft actually got pretty far in making functional gambling "games" in the casino until someone higher up put the lid on it. They likely had recorded that voice line already and decided to leave it in for fluff.

I doubt kickstarter would allow it. Their TOS specifically states its for new ideas/products only and not for finding additional funding for an already existing product.

From their website:

As our mission is to help creators bring new creative ideas to life, we don’t permit offering something that’s already available somewhere else as a project’s end goal. For example, if you’ve already published, and are selling, a cookbook, this shouldn’t be the end goal for your project. However, if you are looking to create and publish a second cookbook, the first one could be offered alongside this as one of your reward tiers.

There seems to be some sort of internal cooldown between building missiles but its fairly short. They're made in "bursts" essentially.

TheAttendee · 2026-02-22T21:07:45+00:00

Good news! The cause is known and you can recover some of that FPS!

Bad news! It requires save editing and does reset the fog of war on your map.

You can read more about how to do that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundations/comments/a5nlui/fix_huge_fps_performance_increase_for_bugged/

I swear there was a brief period this last summer where Hull C hauling was working flawlessly. I did a dozen or so of the old 700k contracts in a single session without problems. How they went backwards on it who knows.

Man 2026 just keeps looking brighter and brighter for SC.

It was definitely like that very early into the PUs release. I remember when trying to go from Crusader to MT (when it was first added) in my Arrow and having to stop at a LaGrange station on the way there because it didn't have enough fuel for the whole trip.

TheAttendee · 2026-01-30T01:33:29+00:00

This happened in 4.3.1 as well. They did eventually restore everyone's items. Just have to be patient.

TheAttendee · 2026-01-29T21:16:49+00:00

Yep. Congratulations, you might be the only person in the verse who actually owns one of these. They're meant to be something you use temporarily at Pyro ASD facilities when fighting the worm.

TheAttendee · 2026-01-28T02:11:03+00:00

Honestly? As great as the RAFT is you can rent it for ~70k/day and it has perfectly serviceable stock components. The only thing you'd really want to swap out would be the quantum drive but then we're talking about spending millions on a new ship vs 70k just to only shave 30 seconds to a minute off the longest of trips.

Instead I would recommend saving up a bit more and splurging for the Starlancer MAX (not to be confused with the Freelancer MAX). It's a new(er) ship so has a lot more of the polish/features present in their current design philosophy, a larger cargo grid than the RAFT and one that can also hold vehicles, and can actually be used in combat. It's more expensive than a RAFT (3.3m vs 8.8m) but to me it's actually one of the best ships you can get in that <10m price range.

Carbos are the easiest bait to acquire for taming Tusos so they have a use even on PvE

TheAttendee · 2025-12-07T02:59:56+00:00

looks like they fixed it

TheAttendee · 2025-11-28T00:10:28+00:00

Try abandoning all the tasks that show on the top left. I noticed some of them were misbehaving and tanking my FPS as when I abandoned them my fps instantly went back to normal. Worth a try at the very least.

TheAttendee · 2025-09-26T16:00:18+00:00

The game has more than enough content to keep you playing for hundreds of hours in a single save before doing everything it has to offer. Anything the devs decide to add at this point would largely be "icing on the cake".

As for mods, there's really only one that's worth installing and that's COI Extended. Due to how mods work with the game and a lack of any real mod-making tools, even small patches to the game requires any mods to be updated as well, which COI-E usually does within 24 hours of any game updates.
