For anybody playing the 4.10 beta, how much better are the Argon characters now? Any screenshots available?

Thanks

The argons' models got upgraded to Terran levels, some models are still from the old version ,not sure how many of them are, but they might cause bugs (I have seen only 1 so far and the animation rig was broken on it in a very old save). Other than that I think it is a very good improvement, sadly all the argon captains that I had collected changed their faces, they do look better now but they are not the same people any more

See this post.

I thought the new Dal looks a bit like Captain Collins!

They look great as Alan said above. The screenshot is compressed so doesn't show all reflections etc like Captain Collins video.

Fantastic work by Egosoft to be honest.

I thught captain collins' reaction was odd, Dal looks much much better and more detailed, he does however look different, perhaps thats the cause of that reaction.
Perhaps ego could tweak that npc specifically to make him more like his old self but with the updated model and textures. Argon in general look immensely improved. The animations are the remaining issue with npcs now imo, could be improved a lot.

IMO, new Dal Busta looks much younger, which doesn't fit his "shadow master of X4 universe" persona.

[Tamina]

Younger? He looks older. And gray I get they updated the face but his nice yellow-orange suite is gone.

I poked our character artist about the suit. I hope he can make the suit more special again.

... his "shadow master of X4 universe" persona.

yellow-orange suite is gone.

Yellow-orange master in the shadows? I thought that pink is for invisibility.

(I've never seen Dal, so can't comment on "the nerf".)

ALWAYS remember Orkish color theory.


Red makes things go faster.
Blue makes things more lucky.
Green and Black make things stronger and more resistant...
And Yellow?

Yellow makes things more explodey. So if we assume old Dal is a fan of Orkish color theory...shooting him would have released the power of a nuclear warhead.

Yellow is also associated with wealth...so old Dal was rich and could explode....new Dal? He can't do any of the things

"Special" is a good description of what is missing

Yellow-orange master in the shadows? I thought that pink is for invisibility.

Because nobody wants to look at you? Sounds like some kind of invisiblity drive from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
