NEWS: Stream? Did somebody say.... stream? (X3AP)

What could be cool for an X3 stream is a series of staged battles between two sides. Have save games set up where fleets are approaching each other. The battles could be made progressively more challenging. It could be a competition between different players, seeing who could win the battles with the fewest losses.

To simply play from the beginning would be kinda boring. The game has a bit of a slow start, and and it is most fun for the person playing, not necessarily watching.

terrible idea, lol...

everyone is going to be comparing the old gameplay to Rebirth and asking questions of the devs, why X4 isn't going to have X Y and Z in it!

Hopefully, it'll remind the devs of all the good stuff in X3 that people like and want in X4.

But I didn't like x3, docking changed, no cockpits, loads of icons all on edges of the screen etc. Only good thing imo was the ships visuals.

Personally I'd hope x4 is more like xbtf-x2. Than x3.

Anyhow just saying not everyone thought x3 was the king version.

I would like to suggest to search for the XFF - X Universe Fleet Fest. You will not be disappointed

I would suggest a stream where you finish the HUB plot, just to prove that it can be done

No ofense. But I´ll wait for a X4 stream.

Me too, but a stream on x3 may already be an excuse to be able to at least discuss with the developers about x4

If the 2 Devs on stream get clearance to chat about what them both are working on or responsible for during x4 development then that would be great to chat about, granted if it's not 100% certain it's going in or finished they probably can't talk about it but there might be things they can of course that's already in the build there up to. Do u think it's possible @devs?

I'll just c&p a quote from page 1

Xenon_Slayer wrote:Sure, you can ask but I can't say we'll give much more info than what is already out there. We'll probably collect some of the unanswered X4 questions for the next X4 QA stream.

So maybe ask interesting stuff? Say for example, what type of pizza they like (I know they'l take any pizza, but its polite to ask), how much pizza is required to code the HUB Plot. How long does it take to get pizza? You know the REAL questions!

Do a 'protect the caravan' mission.

You each start with a simple mission, escort a convoy of freighter ships from one system to another (travelling through say 10 sectors in total). Scripted multiple ship attacks.

Each member of staff has 100,000,000 (100million) credits to spend on there custom fleet that will provide escort for this convoy.

Whichever staff member who keeps the most freighters alive wins a £500 bonus for the month (don't scrimp on the exchange rate either!)....I'm feeling generous.

I think this would be good fun, but also it would really help to direct the team on advancing fleet controls and what works and what needs improving.

I might also point out that due to my more than generous offer of a £500 bonus for the winning staff member.....a free copy of X4 for the winning idea would also be suitable

Find and claim a Kha'ak corvette and attack President's End with it

Advance the plot until "Capture a Xenon L"? Grrr...

Or do up-close stuff, round SPP XLs and Split Trading stations or whatever, exploring in a spacesuit or M5.

Survive the Lost Lar start.... that will take up at least a few hours (and you wont succeed

).

A nice space exploration is what could make more publicity to the game during a live, and attract the attention of who will end up watching the live by chance, not knowing the game

So would have liked a xbtf one first. But. It's something to watch, I'm sure it will be interesting.

I second (third?) that

Thanks for watching, that was fun. We will be getting that on youtube at some point. You can already watch the VOD on Twitch.

This was one of my favorite moments

Yeah that pretty hilarious.

It reminded me of the Story from Nuclear-Slug Wanton use of nukes and the path to galactic conquest where he starts of in the Space Suit.
