It's impossible to predict what issues are going to show up even after the game is released so how are they supposed to know when they will be done? They end up having to rush-fix things that need a serious look or working rediculous hours which makes for pretty terrible problem solving and a bunch of burnt out developers.

And what does it give us? Nothing I can figure out. We all know those dates aren't even remotely reliable so it isn't like you can plan around it.

Give us the release date when the game is ready and you've nailed something down with the publishers. Heck, I'm fine if you announce it AFTER releasing it! I can't buy it until then anyway.
This must be satire? We clearly know Egosoft is only going to give us a Release Date when ready. It's more of a joke like are we there yet in the back seat of a car... The game is set to release anytime now sept-dec. People are hyped and excited. We don't need people acting all crazy trying to troll people now.

I could see maybe one more livestream where they show off the latest state of the game and announce the release date. Hoping this is sooner rather than later. The poll regarding where to buy looks like a good indicator.

1- A proof that there will be cookies. Preferably with chocolate chips.
2- ...point 1 pretty much covered it all. :D
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

1 - Management menus, especially the buy/sell interface. Nothing was shown about this and I remember that the command menu optimized for gamepad that has been introduced for XR was clearly not the best idea.
2 - NPC Workforce : how the user will handle with this new kind of resource. Will we need to transport and even able to capture lot of people?
3 - More about the structure of the universe and its dynamics. What Egosoft really mean with a dynamic structure of the universe?

I'm rather optimist with the new map system and how it will be usefull to give simple order (go/attack/protect) to many ships, the stations and ships editors.
I'd also want to see which automation mechanisms will be provided, in order to etablish our commercial empire, like our old CAG and UT.

And off course, WE WANT A RELEASE DATE :fg: !!! WE ARE FED UP WAITING :evil: :evil: :evil: !!!!
</trollmode> :D

EDIT : it could also be nice to have the date of the next stream, nothing has been anounced yet, am I wrong?

1. The Devs pressing the button that launches their game on Steam. :D

I mean... this is fair in one sense. Putting a release date way in advance of release doesn't really help. On the other, they've said recently that they're aiming for a 2018 release, and considering there are less than 3 months left in the year that's not long.

Besides, a "Release Date" announcement could be as simple as "We're sorry, but it's slipping to 2019." It'd be a bummer, sure, but it'd be nice to know.

1) Menu navigation in its different forms (via keyboard, via mouse) in flight and at stations
2) Asset management such as stations & station agents, automated traders; carriers & defence fleets, wing management ...
3) Game settings: will we be able to customise field of view like we could in X3? Are audio settings separate to be adjusted as we prefer? What graphics settings can be changed (I remember shaders/colour overlays being mentioned, would be interesting to see where this ended up) Can we bind new hotkeys or rebind existing ones? etc.

There fixed it for you :P

I hope they take all the time they need to get it right! A new live stream would be awesome though.

I would love to see info about the HQ and general ship and station management since that's where XR was week.
Save game editor XR and CAT/DAT Extractor
Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress although it's taking shape nicely.

If anyone is interested in a new save game editor for X4 and would like to contribute to the creation of one let me know. I do not have sufficient time to create it alone, but if there are enough people who want it and want to contribute we might be able to set something up.

Yeah, that's correct. And when Egosoft releases their game prematurely, people will scream murder!!!! Then we have XR release all over again!!!!
Fleet management/capital ship movement and Collision Detection were always my gripes against XR!!!!!

- A playthrough of a small fleet / squadron engagement (as a dogfighter / ship captain, or both, and while commanding other owned ships) would be nice.

- A good 20 minutes of trading (both doing it yourself and remotely) would be nice.

- A good 20 minutes of just traveling from point A to B - through the gates / highways and using cruising speed, using a variety of ship types - would be great too.

I can wait for a release date TBH. Same as Bannerlord. It's ready when it's ready, and I've got plenty else in my backlog that I need to play first. ^^
