X4: Cradle of Humanity (Release Date March 16, 2021, 6pm CET; Livestream at 5pm CET)

Would the devs please consider giving another update to the current progress for 4.0 and the CoH DLC? It's been about a month since we heard anything official.

Can we expect a 4.0 beta before the end of the year?
Could the devs comment more at length on the specific gameplay features they intend to introduce with 4.0? Terraforming in particular, will terraforming planets impact gameplay or is it going to be strictly a "cosmetic" and "achievement" type thing?
Approximately how many new sectors will the DLC add? Could that have a potentially significant impact on game performance?
When they say CoH will be released in Q1 2021, should we read that as last possible second in March of 2021, or could it be in early 2021?

Sorry about the slow news stream guys, I understand the frustration. Rest assured that the team is hard at work with 4.0 and Cradle of Humanity. We'll be able to spread more details within the next couple of weeks and I'm very confident that it will be worth the wait

Can this be construed as an announcement of an announcement?

Those are my favourite ones.

A new look for an old classic

This classic fighter was first deployed in X3: Terran Conflict. Its design has recently been polished up and refreshed for its glorious return in X4: Cradle of Humanity, the second expansion for X4: Foundations, to be released in the first quarter of 2021.

But do you remember this ship's name?

X4: Cradle of Humanity is the second expansion for X4: Foundations and will be released for PC (Steam || GOG) in the first quarter of 2021. We'll have more to share in the following weeks, including long awaited news on the public beta of the 4.0 update for X4: Foundations. Keep an eye on our news section to not miss a thing.

I'd say it's named after a famous sword

I LIKE! Are those turrets EM plasma gattlings?

Edit: ...and I'm becoming fond of the dynametric tailfins

Classic? I live under a rock.

Like Auric Goldfinger, I don't pay attention to evil aliens. I expect them to die.

That said, she looks good to kill.

not my most favorite design ever, but she does look pretty, nice polishing job there for sure!

Please, Sir, May we have some more?

No, not a sword, but a two-handed saber (swords have two cutting edges

).

The sole M-class fighter in the whole of "X: Rebirth" (along with its cheap knockoff "Daito").

Exactly. Flying Terrans ships is completely out of the question and should be considered blasphemy.

Can we pleeeeeease leave X Rebirth out of it? If you want to see what this "sabre" was capable of, please run a real X game with it (X3 TC or AP), what was put in Rebirth for it was a joke....

Actually, the whole Terran business seems like blasphemy to me, even from X3 TC (the way they were implemented, the size of their stations). Why Egosoft goes with them is beyond my comprehension, except to "fill" a racist, xenophobic demand... I have news for them. Donald (the Tramp) is out!!!

It's awesome the terrans will be back. For those who dislike the race itself - this will also bring the Sol system into the game. Flying amongst our stars again will be awesome

IMHO

They are an integral party of the X universe, so I sure welcome their arrival. But they should not expect any alliances from me, quite the opposite.

Anyone else find the background curious? Patches of stars and big voids between them.

The "art of Photoshop" at it's (not so) best...

Now, truth be told, Sol is in the a** end of nowhere backwater, a fringe border system in the Milky Way so, yeah, there are patches of black (intergalactic space) between the stars...

P.S. Far gone are the days when Earth was thought the centre of the Universe... they were put in storage about the same time with human "superiority" (Evolution Theory dropped it to the waste basket) where they both belong IMHO. Don't get me wrong... I do believe in the existence of God but it wouldn't surprise me the least if she turned out to be a Split like female (after v3.0 version)...

WTF is wrong you you? this is not a political forum, and politics should always be out of a gaming forum, take a damn pill and relax

Personally I am not a fan of how the modules clash with the sleek lines the Katana is supposed to have. I hope there will be new Terran modules that fit their ships better.
