Looks like it would at best be a way for a couple of folks to play together in an ad hoc way on a hosts save. Interesting but I can't see me using this feature without mods making the game more difficult or the like.

Personally, I think that's all they really intend any sort of MP to be about, having private games you invite friends to. To make this into an MMO, you would have to rework the entire economy system and back-engine stuff to accommodate an MMO.Baconnaise wrote: ↑Wed, 5.

Re: Egosoft, we need an official statement on this...
Exactly. No way a game like X4 would be suitable for MMO, like at all, and I don't think the people at Egosoft don't know that.NovaKiller wrote: ↑Wed, 5.

Sorry to disappoint you, but these functions were just experiments. The Online Features options will have further uses down the line, but these functions aren't among them.

I think they already said no micro-transactions.

Re: Egosoft, we need an official statement on this...
hm. Groundhogs days stories.
I hope, someday in some dlc, multiplayer becomes part so i can ask a friend over steam "hey, would you like to join my universe and kill some xenon? i need help with this stupid mission, defending an satellite in a xenon sector for about 10 minutes for collecting data".
And as we are at missions: i would like to restart a failed mission
--> "Mission failed, please return to the client for a new chance"
But now, other things are more important i dont need to say.
keep up your good work guys!
Look to steam forum, its funny as they were getting pretty excited about that "news"..

We are interested in your experimentsssss!
You give us hope. A part of us.
You dont need to deliver a ready product the next 5 years, but if you have the image, that you are generally 'open' for it, it calms down a lot of us, even if you never finish something.

I wonder what the Venture station modules are for exactly. The two different shipyards for players are accessible. I haven't tried building them.

That's for Venturer, the "multiplayer" (more like send your ships to their server to do some RNG tasks) mode that we are actually getting.
Re: Egosoft, we need an official statement on this...
People have been asking for multiplayer on these forums for years, at least since X3 was first announced. Similarly we got the epic waste of time that was walking around space stations in XR, again because all the "muh immershun" people here begging for it. Problems occur precisely because ED tries so hard to please the players.conquestor wrote: ↑Wed, 5. Dec 18, 02:24If they actually waste time on this I'm writing egosoft off entirely. People said they REALLY didn't understand their market after X:R, and it's looking like they may be right.

This game doesn't need MP, at all.
It does really need Co-op though!

Re: Egosoft, we need an official statement on this...
Very nice find.
Since it is optional there is no need to to drop salt around.
I would like it. There can't be enough options to have, nobody is forced to something in any way as it looks like.
Even if MP is not used or only to drop by a friend from time to time, to hang around for some spacecoffee and a nice chat.
Some keep their SP, others start a new coop game or even fight each other for the domination etc...
So whot? Ppl should have the freedom to play the game how they want to, with or without MP.

Re: Egosoft, we need an official statement on this...
There's something to be said about people who decide they speak for everyone, and its not something I wish to commit to the ages on this forum.
mp in whatever form, in my humble opinion, would add, not subtract from the net enjoyment value of quite a few games, including X-whatever iteration.
Egosoft are a canny business, and as such, get to chose what features are in the games they make. I'm happy they listen to their customers,
for what its worth, I'm not the biggest fan of X:R, but buying it with a view to understanding the direction ego are taking technically, & support them in making X4 is something I don't regret for a second.
however much I mutter,
If mp appears as an option, whenever, its an interesting addition.
