Shipyards working now [1.32 beta 1]

[koztaz2]

How to enable beta updates on Steam?

Yea, looks great so far. Everything is active again. Khaak cleared the Xenon siege of Matrix 451. Xenon are probing into faction space. ANT launched a raid on HOP. Argon shipyard is starting to have shortages!

Also, ships are being built inside the construction pods (like rebirth). Looks very nice.

shooting for AI ships seems to not be enabled? Just took down a dozen Khaak without them firing a shot.

Stuff seems to be happening now. My mining ships still havent been able to sell anything, but I expect theres a build up that needs to be cleared out first.

[koztaz2]

Please guys can anyone tell me how to update to this beta patch on steam. I cant find it in the game options

You need to jump onto the beta upgrade branch on steam. if you right click x4 on your games list and click properties, you'll have a "beta" tab. It'll ask for a password which is "IBackedUpMySaves"... as you can imagine, I'd recommend backing up your saves first.

Thank you kind sir

The intent is to link to the beta branch topic like so: viewtopic.php?f=192&t=405397 and NOT just tell anybody the password

Note: Please avoid re-posting the above information outside this forum. If you wish to tell other people about this Beta program, please post a link to this forum so that people joining the Beta are aware of the risks and the rules.

In that case I'd advice you to tell the guy whose youtube channel i literally just copy pasted that info from No trying to be snarky, but this info is available through a 20 second google search.

Finally my username is relevant

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

Time to die

Well, it's a game now. We'll see down the road how balanced and what further finetunings the war and build system will need, but at least we've got an actual game. I can finally go back to it instead of complaining like an old fart all day

[Ranix]

this is going to hurt me if there are any raids on Grand Exchange, I have pitiful defenses.

[Solflame]

Time to invest in Laser Towers and Friend/Foe Mines, I guess?

[bmtv0957]

Can confirm, more Xenon and Kha'ak. For some reason the Kha'ak ships can't attack, though.

Problem is that the Kha'ak ships are so slow. They get into knife-fighting range and just constantly bounce between 'turn towards' and 'turn away' with barely any time between to actually fire their guns since they cannot open up distance with their targets.

when it goes live, maybe my 2 destroyers that have been stuck in build mode in the shipyards might actuals get built now.


they're been there since yesterday.

You can always deliver the needed parts yourself...

[jakotheshadows]

omg, thank you so much egosoft, my miners aren't stuffed full of silicon anymore, like immediately after updating to the new beta. Amazing.

[idragon]

are the shipyards close to invincible as well? or for that we need modders to fix it... like the auto explore (which didn't work at all)...and later pathfinding, collision ssimilar to bounce in X3...

[maxmax12]

how do i join beta?

[Kamuchi_]

Anyone else noticed that the station count in Antigone Memorial and The Void has dropped?

Spoiler

Show

In my save I had half the stations vanish while my sats still remained there, thinking I was going crazy, I started a new game and went to check those 2 systems out and it's the same.
Haven't checked every system as it's a pain with the limited scanner, but something fishy is going on.

Nevermind, reload after several reloads from the new game to old and stations appeared

Otherwise this patch is working great so far!

ps; Can we get a scanner mkIII or increase the range please?
