I think bernd might still be stuck in 1990 which is why they haven't. In other good news the latest 3.0 beta adds some new sectors, neutral ones north of The Void and east of Company Regard.

They had to push it back, so I think they want to be ironclad before committing. Beta 5 contained a ridiculous amount of bug fixes though.

I came back after a long time away because of GeForce Now and being away from my own rig. Game works great, but sadly, even though I’ve set it to the 3.0 beta test, Geforce only seems to have the 2.60 version.

I dunno what geforce now is but you get the beta through steam. Password is IBackedUpMySaves I think.DJ Dizzy posted:Whats the endgame like these days? Lots more wars in the 3.0 version, though you still have to choose to get involved yourself. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Feb 13, 2020 |

GeForce Now is a cloud gaming streaming service. It launches a virtual box, which logs you into your steam account and launches the game. The problem is you don’t get to actually use the Steam interface yourself. I unlocked the beta locally on my own computer (which is to weak to run the game itself), but I guess GeForce only allows “curated” game versions (not all games are available there, and I guess betas are unsupported). In any case, 2.60 is fine for now.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:I'm pretty sure that the XR ships don't make their performance targets for an X4 ship, so their internal view is that they'd have to totally remake them to put them in. But the way they talk about it comes across as a little dismissive and weird. Performance as in how good/powerful they are? Cause it'd make sense for a bunch of old "obsolete" ships to still be around in tertiary roles. Hell, turn demilitarized M1s into large freighters. Also, Split when?

Performance as in how well the game runs, I think. The X4 ships are far less complex model wise, the XR ones have a lot of internal detail.

They also, in the mod, don't have the textures set up right, the X4 models all have PBR textures, the rebirth ones don't and I don't know if that requires extra setup on the model or something.

To expand on that, most niche games don't sell enough volume to make money at the $60 mark so they charge $80-100 or release an unfinished version that they polish and release the rest of the game over the next few years charging $20 every 6 months. See basically any Paradox game. The full version of the game is $80 and listed as "collectors edition" It includes the first 2 expansions. They might go for more, but 2 should get the game feature complete.

I could see shoot the poo poo about random stuff while talking about what's going on in your game every so often type of Discord working but that would likely only be active around the time a new expansion comes out and the thread kind of serves for that and gets pretty active when there's new stuff coming out.

Does "low attention" mean out of sector or is it some kind of in between state for in sector but far away?
|

If I recall correctly, High Attention is the immediate area around the player, running 'normally. Mid attention is a little further than that, doing stuff like low framerate collision detection so that it can be geared up to high attention quickly if the player switches their view, and low attention is out of sector or quite far from player insector. could be totes wrong though.

Yeah I think low attention is OOS and possibly also very far away. The new gamestart is apparently you start with the PHQ unlocked so that's nice. Also, re: the price of the DLC: quote:The displayed €29,99 is the price of the Collector's Edition Content, not the price of X4: Split Vendetta. As announced in August 2019, the price for X4: Split Vendetta will be €14.99 / $14.99 / £12.49. https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=422053&start=15#p4912669

I started a new game yesterday evening and apparently they've tweaked the economy a lot. If you can get a few miners out early you can make a bunch of money until the refineries saturate, which is enough to buy a few traders to distribute the refined stuff and keep ore/silicon demand up. The xenon appear a lot more aggressive too. Had a Xenon destroyer wreck a few stations in The Void two hours in. The economy in my previous save was hosed because no shipyard had enough hull plates to build anything and there were only two hull plate factories alive. I couldn't make money fast enough to build a hull plate factory so everything just ground to a halt. Now the universe seems to be on overdrive. Also, apparently you can now set user-defined alerts with almost arbitrary conditions? I haven't seen that in any patch notes. (playing beta branch)

The economy is incredibly fast now yeah, my old superfactory is constantly fully stocked on inputs and empty on outputs, feels a lot like X3 where you couldn't produce fast enough most of the time. All that product goes right into the shipyards and all those ships go right to war to get blown up. Xenon come through the new south gate in The Void which connects to the southwest xenon territories so another conflict spot there, yeah. It feels a lot more like playing X3 in some ways on the beta branch.

What I still find mystifying is where the energy cell market went. In X3 everything was energy cell starved. You could build an energy empire just to induce demand for all the station inputs of mostly dormant stations. But now everything seems well stocked with energy despite the seeming lack of energy producers. I only found very few solar plants.

Yeah it's odd, I think basically everything just doesn't need that many cells? I run again a giant superfactory off two panels. It's a bit of a shame really cos it makes energy kind of just an afterthought, slap a panel on a factory maybe but there's zero reason to build big solar stations or even care about solar output of sectors (not that I think that varies at the moment) I feel like they could cut the productivity by like, 10x and make some bigger solar stations and it would be a lot more interesting.

I believe that's the plan yeah, release the patch and the expansion either at the same time, or like, very shortly after, as the patch forms part of the basis for the expansion I think. It's a big patch but they don't normally go into this many beta versions and I think they're still aiming for Q1.

The HQ research thing has to be a placeholder. Weird stuff. My first hull plates factory is coming online now just as the warring factions seems to be blowing each other up. Being a war profiteer is fun!

I believe they're planning on expanding the HQ thing but yeah, it's really loving weird. I hope they get around to implementing the ability to move it around, that'd be really nice to be able to do, especially as yeah, war is the whole point of the economy now, so if you slapped shipyards and a full set of industry on it you could basically move to to whoever you want to supply with ships. Hull plates in particular are a great choice cos they're used in both ships and stations so they also make constructing more station modules cheaper.

Speaking of the PHQ, are you able to choose where it's placed, initially? (i.e. in a system I've claimed and built in) Since I remember reading ages ago that it would just get dumped somewhere, which wouldn't necessarily be where you want it to be. Could be wrong, though

Not 100% sure, but there is a mod to chuck it into the unclaimed sector nopilious, also, the new start looks interesting, sidestepping the whole "be a distraction, hire a ship to build a landing pad" bit, we still don't have a functioning bodyslide for X4 so no spacesuit bikini's, yet. I'm going to stick to the devstarts "start with a small fleet, icl. 2 xl's" as that also starts with teleport and full scanning (yeah, wharfs, l and xl shipyards too). Unfortunately, X4 is a crashfest atm, even with 0 mods, it ctd's all the time on startup, so, i'll be faffing in NMS or The Outer Worlds, which is awesome.
