Frequently Asked Questions relating to the X4: Timelines release

Xenon H (compared to its slightly larger siblings in the K class, this destroyer has noticeably better turret coverage leaving it with virtually no unprotected angles

IF! Only IF its turrets wouldn't get destroyed upon boarding... then what? How to buy XENON turrets to fit the missing turrets that get destroyed with boarding?

What is the point of the latest dull DLC in providing such xenon ships if there are no weapons to re-equip them... pointless to have such half-backed ships in the game regardless the 3D model looks.

Hey Egosoft - what's with this incredibly wasteful approach?


Please add Antigone station modules to the Open World - these modules are really cool for station building!

I've completed timelines and the follow on quest in sandbox (have achievement) but have yet to unlock these modules. Can someone please give me a full spoiler explanation?

After you finish Timelines and have HQ with Boso,

he will inform you that new gate has opened in Ianamus Zura - go there and you'll find new faction Quettanauts and small epilogue questline that will give you X-Shuttle.
As for station modules you can either - build a reputation rank with QUettanauts (tedious), or use EPM/leak blueprint scan on their stations, to get them faster.

You need to collect a special drop from killing an H which will open up xenon equipment research (resource requirement randomized), then you can retrofit all xenon ships back to their prime state. The research will not allow you to build xenons from scratch, only equipments. Since only player knows these blueprints, you need to use your own shipyard or maintenance bay to restore xenon equipments.

i think its funny that you say Timelines was well-received its the most criticised expansion yet , and as somebody that has played every x game from every way possible this xpac was very disappointing

...you say Timelines was well-received...

No, we didn't say that. We said that the free 7.00 update was well-received.

So I only have to do Timelines 1 time and then every new game I start will have the sectors unlocked?

Yes, you play through timelines, and you will find new sectors, new ships and a short story where everything is explained in your actual and all other games.
