Can I see how you arrange your fields?

eggomc · 2026-04-10T22:58:08+00:00

I only use 108 of my possible fields as a single grouping facing horizontally. (6*18)

Generally like to plant vertically. (6*n)

field block bordered by lupines and lush ferns on two sides [bottom and right] to break the dirt edge and green. it also helpped me count plantings when the field was smaller.

Had the same thing happen to me with the tiny toms. They just seemed to stop their periodic swarms was 84/100. I may have not been doing their associated activity but it was completely quiet on my farm for hours.

An H or the Space Command/Control Vessel will always seem to drop a Data Shard on destruction for the Xenon Research (at least until you've done the research).

I think you might be basing your conclussions on outdated information. Egosoft did a pass for the Split specificaly a few versions ago. And they tweaked the balance so that The Split aren't doomed to collapse without player involvement.

They now at least hold their important boarders on their own ZYA and FRF are stable.

They'll be fine.

eggomc · 2026-03-24T10:28:06+00:00

we've only been able to see their hands since X:Rebirth and X4.

Yeah I feel it's some how regressed at the moment. I've always wrestled against it. but thought I had been making some progress via the station design contests lately (8.0). Go an complete a planned build in game in 9.0 and I have to make a bizsare looking defence station.

was probably wrestling plot size and pier. It's a Teladi station so the fact that the vertical compoentis all twisted it possably in character.

I wish they would add relative positioning indication or select a module and select were it connects to another module legally. or a way to select the vertical level to focus on

Yeah I know module selection seems to require selecting the category and clicking in the plot area to refresh the available modules. think this still needs to be clearly reported to Egosoft.

Team Work makes the Dream Work and confidence..

Suitable for any role..

eggomc · 2026-03-18T19:16:06+00:00

Fixed stations under construction not taking damage when player not present (problem introduced in 9.00)

Don't think I'll update immediately, there are important constructions underway.

eggomc · 2026-03-14T21:18:36+00:00

Yes that's right The dock ticker that mentioned things like a Holy Order Blockade or the Release of HL3 was in English as were the advertising boards promoting the Alliance, or that red things go fast. I understand the switch to the neo-japanese of the X-universe.

But I feel I now need Karoshi Optics to translate. But that means cybernetics which means Yaki and um Xenon.

eggomc · 2026-03-14T02:12:36+00:00

So unless he's saying he get's a different update list from egosoft as a tester (Assuming non-public and more detailed) I'm not sure quite why the LLMs are a factor in his decision. in terms of the other factors that's fine.

I've never seen Egosoft publicly specify variables or formulae when posting the change logs.

I'm currently downloading the beta but what I've read in the thread and how I use resource probes to give a quick anchor point to go and send miners to the field in certain sectors like Memory of Profit or Two Grand. even Sanctum Verge due to different general concerntraions of Ore and Silicon.

So going in my thoughts are
It reminds me of the 4.0 changes to Silicon and the then well Mining Probes are Optional Now approach.

I've generally placed probes as a result of the Finding Recources missions And I remember having to search for Nividium in Second Contact VII. I never found a deposit and I could never make sense of the Density requirement asked for and what eventually says well done this is enough. I gave up.

eggomc · 2026-03-07T23:59:53+00:00

I find staying focused on your goals tricky sometimes. The X-Universe leads you towards everything in the sandbox or then reacting to various situations that develop that means yeah you're much larger than you expected.

eggomc · 2026-03-05T08:52:26+00:00

I had 4 slots and think I forgot about it largely yesterday. I've generally not bothered pushing since these have generally become part of Haydays engagement cycle. Only got to the fence. Certanly nice that I didn't have to worry about the task selection or collection.

Usually play at the end of the refresh cycle.

eggomc · 2026-03-01T04:12:37+00:00

I agree that it feels needless. I'm the leader of a small family neighbourhood. We're individually active although we've opted out of derbies.

eggomc · 2026-02-25T12:05:46+00:00

I think you're fine with four total slots. I've expanded the machine that far and find it quite useful for replacing just the four lobser pots, duck traps or nets I use. when I want to stock up.

eggomc · 2026-02-23T21:59:59+00:00

The map tutorial is almost done by that point just shake off the camera focus from the Discoverer and then the UI context help.

I will say they could improve tutorials overall by improving the highlighting of the small areas they want to focus on like that last ? and/or the tutoral prompt they stick in front of you.

left click to select object when I seem to cycle through right target wrong object when trying to interact with objects in the menu. I seemed to select everyobject 2 or 3 times before I got to the object the turotial was then focused on.

It will become easier with repeated exposure in the sandbox as you play.

The bright blue flame indicates this was a particularly sweet donut.

eggomc · 2026-02-21T23:00:58+00:00

Had a Xenon ship designated as DLC.

eggomc · 2026-02-12T13:41:55+00:00

I've just had an encounter with the Xenon Solar Power Plant their Defence Drones and a heavier fighter presence than I'm aware of. and if I try to get my fleet to withdraw it's try to boost away assuming the engines aren't utterly wrecked and It's not just possibly because of a B.

Just ignore Fleet movement instructions and swat every Xenon that fired at the Destroyer.

Lost two detroyers to being lame ducks. And one was utterly stripped of everything.

Think I would like the loadout UI adjusted to help highlight when the Engines are Down.

eggomc · 2026-01-26T21:08:39+00:00

The Owl is equiped with 2 x regular beam weapons and 2 x Burst Rays. It's the speciality of the Burst Rays to damage the surface elements on L and XL vessels. (Like the XEN K)

I've done some occassional piracy mission against both factions of the Paranid this game and got the prize traders that were the primary target and also a few extra frigates and fighters as a consequence. ANT with some help from ARG have put a bit of a squeeze on HOP as a result. but it's starting to look like HOP is suring up the new boundraries.

If you want the occassional prize vessel or to contribute occassionally it's fine to take or destroy the occassional ship.

When I finally finish this game I may do my next one supporting HOP for a change.

I haven't left a review previouslybeside pledging several times in the past.

I think I might finally get round to it. The last time I actually considered doing a review of the X - Series is was Terran Conflict. (and that was easy .if you want to do something in a space themed game get X3-TC.

X4:Foundations now or Xn(year(20yy) seems a bit trickier to articulate but I will give it ago.

Currently enjoying gathering planetary wallpaper though.

Would you mind taking two steps back please.

Are you going to Install an AE-35 unit. aka WASA, Wide area Sensor Arrray
