Yeah those are huge. Have you tried them yet?

[DerFeindDerZeit]

Following Problems since BETA 6:
- Pirate attack increased massivly ( every 5 Secs )
- Ships which are attached to defend are freezing
- Beamweapons accuracy decreased

is there a possibility to roleback to BETA 5?

[Alan Phipps]

@ DerFeindDerZeit: Please report issues in 3.0 beta 6 in the Public Beta forum along with full information and repro steps and not in this forum or thread.

No there is no reason or means to roll back to beta 5 because betas are for testing and not for long-term gameplay.

From what I can see this is slightly modified Perseus model with 2 additional weapon mounts and probably bug/mistake 3rd shield generator.

I must say I kinda like it - Perseus was my favorite fighter by the look and it's only flaw was that it was not an Eclipse.
Now I have an Eclipse that looks like Perseus - it's a win-win

Hello,

Select ship, right click another ship, pick Transfer Crew option.

I Just want to Shake the hand, pat the back and hug the person that picked the score for turquoise sea i FXXX Love it so now no matter the play thru that will be my Home Sector. all it need is to have some Ice nearby and it would perfect. Next i was Wondering if the Ability for us to Move the PHQ are still Planned, if so then i hope they link it to the final teleportation Research with a series of missions that require the player the collect / steal components and Blueprints that we have to drop off in the science room for BOSO to study.

Also i feel the fire rate of pulse lasers needs a increase and go from a six ? shot brust to constant firing till they red line.


P.S. I Hope Others will Add their Two cents on How this ability should be Added, if they are still green lit

I do not know where to post this as I have not used the forum for sometime.

I still find it hard to understand after all this time of using X4 there are still some real Niggles for me.

Here they are.

1 When parked in a station I cannot use SETA
2. This garbage music Sound which sounds like NERR NERRRRR NERRR NE NEEERRR It is very annoying.
3. Also Giving Orders to ships seems to be difficult at times. Usually because there is set of other orders Nested somewhere.
4. Trying to find goods to get a ship built or kitted out.
5. That also goes for building Stations. Some of it just takes so long.
6. These Dammed Highways. Why did you invent them. The gate system Worked really well. These thing do not work with the auto PILOCK.

Sorry guys But this game is FRUSTRATING at times.

BUT IT IS GREAT I STILL LOVE IT.

Regards Stephen

1 is requested a lot. I personally don't use SETA but I get the desire.
2: Are you referring to the combat music? If so, I would use different words (at least to be nicer ), but I agree it's extremely repetitive and needs work ASAP, if only to let us disable it or have it trigger way less.

Actually No not the combat crap That is turned off. It seems to be the background music when docked at a wharf.

[Dragon-Boy]

Just a Heads up When Dock you can use Seta by going to the map and Activate it Via shortcut - shift + 4 just sure to be in a pilot seat

[BigBANGtheory]

Really looking forward to v3 and split vendetta, I've been holding off playing for a while to experience the real X4

[greymouser69]

The Ares heavy fighter is only available from HOP? I checked the paranid and it was not listed so it looks like only HOP.

[Cyron43]

The new engine sounds in Beta 7 are totally annoying! I hope they are still subject to change.
