First of, ive been looking at this game on steam for 2 years, scared of by the bad rep it has. One day i came across the egosoft home of light trailer on Youtube and i was like, Awesome! screw this im going in!
In my luck steam had an sale so i payd 25bucks for Xrebirth and the 2 expansions.
SO!
Started the game in the campain mode, beautiful game, it really is. I was blown away by the details on stations, the neon lights and yeah you know the deal, however i was strugling with the fps 'i usally aim at 80-90 and i was at 50-60 so i tested lower from ultra to high, no change. okey?. So from high to the lowest. heh still no change in the fps.. So i went back to Ultra
Wierd but well lets go on.
THE Campain, Dont get me wrong here, but this is were X rebirth fails. people who try out this game for the first time, that got no idee how it works need a steady campain to handle the learning curve. And this one scares you away
1 hour in and you have a hole faction against you and no cash or any ide on what to do. ''I am thinking about the first hacking mission were you have to buy a drone for cash you dont got and use it on the station, wich i found out on Youtube! cuse the game aint telling you nothing exept go and hack this station, while everything is red to you.. this is were i stopped playing the campain.. So from a new players side of view i give the Campain a steady.. 1 out of 5 and i understand why people quit and never look backs...
However i moved on to freeplay 'wich im glad i did''
Im 80+ hours in and i love this game, It got so much depth and some stuff its just fun as hell to do,
The game for me acculy took speed when i took a scaning mission randomly and it sended me 1300km out in now were, yeah i spended over 1 hour boosting my way there lol, it took me to a astroid belt with a xenon base, and here was so much Cargo cans to scan, ive scouted over the place trying to avoid the base and got so much loot, got back and made my first 30m!
So what should i do what my first 30 m? well i do want to get more cash so a trader would be cool? so i downloaded my first mod, Autotrader.
and i upgraded my skund with some of the remaining creds.
This is how the game started for me, im now 80 or 90 hours in.
I got 2 Xl ships going galaxy traders 'autotrader mod'' and 1 taranis '
wich got me to download the bridge mod to enhance that experience.
But the game have its problems, and i was hoping to get some guidence to working Mods or other ways to make the game better.
1. Drones, they are really stupid and they last 1 sek.
2. Ai on capitals overall, the dont seem to use any tactics on what range to stay at or whatsoever, or why they dont destroy there targets drones? they just seem stupid.
I had i fight with My taranis, It was agains a L capital cant remember its name, and som other random small ships, so i wanted my taranis to first blow up the small random fighters that was doing damage on him and then focus on the L ship, so i dubble click on the first ''attack that'' and the sec one attack that'' and tryd to fight myself at the same time, so i was likem there must be a command i could use to have him protect me or anything, so i pressed attack all in sector or what its called, and he jumped away from the fight... awesome
3. Boarding ships is a pain when there is other npc shotting at it, is there a way to make them stop as soon as you send ur boarding pods out?
4. Fleet commands, its so bad how limited this is, consider u only can fly the skunk, so if u wanna have some large guns u have to have them in your fleet, with almost no commands to lead them,
5. Capital jump drive, i would like to have them be able to jump direcly yo diff systems, dont care if takes 10x fuel, and most important, it would be awesome if you could buy a upgrade for you skunk to make it a portal jump beacon so u can have your fleet get right at you.
6. This is like a combination of commands and Capital AI, what i like most in this game is to stand in my Taranis bridge and send it to places and just stand there and look. however, the commands is shit so you really cant without terrible limitations and! astroid and other stones.. omg.. if you want you capital to go from A to B and there is a astroid field or any large rock in the way, its a 4 hour trip, however, pressing F2 and zoom out to max and you capital fly right throw everything, But i dont wanna be F2 and outzoomed, i wanna stand in the bridge
7. Highways, a little to crowded, ? happends often i get knocked out of it, also the pain to leave them when u acculy want
8. There isent really to much action going on, a little more factions wars och raid would be welcome.
9. Scanning stations, it was okey the first 3 stations but 90 hours in then i cant be bothered with it anymore, i would like my long range scanner to like pling up the hole damn station
10. Some kill mission, when its capital ship u gonna destroy acculy jump out before you come close, wich fails the mission
11. show me you wares please, i acculy lower the volyme down everytime im gonna sell or buy anything becouse my GF bully me cuse of the show me your wares please..
well this is some of the stuff i would be really happy to get sorted out in 4,0 HoL if you know anymods that would help me it would be a killer
Sorry for bad spelling and grammar. cheers
