Got it. Sorry for the spamming and look forward to the Borons.

Looking forward to this. The ship designs look amazing.
Just need to put up with ten days of wanting to start a new campaign but having to wait for the update

[Matthew94]

The soundtrack is on Spotify now

I'm a little surprised by the release date.
I remember Egosoft saying somewhere this will take longer then usual to be released. Yet we had a lot less beta updates then other expanses.
Does that mean things worked out better then expected so it can be released earlier?

I sure can't wait to add it to my collection.
Great work.

[Poacher886]

Shame this couldn't have been released in time for Easter Hols..

Is Captain Collins correct that Borons have both L-size and XL-size carriers?

Yes Guppy and Shark.

Just want to say thank you Egosoft! Im very invested in the Boron and the implementation you chose is exactly what I had hoped for!

[mr.WHO]

I like Egosoft finally went for some more ship class asymetry - it fits with 6.0 Defend Possition and Borons to have 2 different size carriers.

8-turret gunship and super shielded Hydra seem interesting as well.

ohhh and those Destroyer Ion Beams gives me Homeworld and Freespace 2 vibes.

All of this makes feel Borons as very disctinct from all the other factions.

a 1 gig patch coming down now, must be the bulk of the dlc?

[Rach3]

Thank you for this amazing new DLC.
Can you perhaps reveal how much of the cool new story would I miss if I play a Terran Cadet game start instead of starting a new DLC Emergence game start?

I wonder if it is possible to go through the same storyline from a different game start (if for example, I'd want to play as Terran) - one reason being it would give a more authentic experience of Boron gates suddenly opening if I'm already in my own story and not being thrown into the story right from the start. I hope this makes sense

The reason I am asking is that I am in any case planning to start a new start, but now I can't decide whether to start with the Cadet or wait for the Emergence game start.

Thank you!

every game start can do all stories, how much will you miss is probably very little if you go terran and not boron, or just continue your saves, its all mostly the same

Thank you for your reply.
I am somewhat aware of this from previous DLCs.
In this case, I am just wondering this since Egosoft's CEO was really enthusiastic about this new start and recommended anyone to start a new game with this start (recent interview with Cpt. Collins). That got me confused.

I’d recommend starting a new save. The Boron are likely to be at a massive disadvantage if the universe is developed. It’s probably also a good idea to open the Jumpgate to the Boron first, since from the looks of things, you’ll need to actually do the plot to open the Gate.

really liked the unexplored, un connected sectors in x3. Everything in x4 feels so.. known & safe? know what i mean?
