Maybe make a "hardcore" mode without SETA?

SETA isn't just for travel, and in X4 I'd agree that it's less useful for travel than before, but still not useless (think long chains of gates to travel through). SETA is also used for speeding up the wait on things, such as constructing a station or completing trades.

yes, this is true though I find those already way to quick, like building a solar station is what, 18 min i think? a docking bay is 6 min and researching a new stuff is 10 min? I have got most stuff i can in 3 days. I for one didnt even build the seta just sold the components. still I dont say it shouldnt be in the game, im nobody to tell others how to play :D

Yes SETA has been relegated to what it should always have been, a way to speed up things that are going too slow. I hate seta for travel, and the travel drive is a much better way to do it - its also very fast if you equip a decent travel engine in a fast ship. Its all working as intended and they are great changes imo.

Travel drive in its current implementation is pure insanity. It makes you totally invulnerable. Removing it and giving the player SETA from the start would make for a much better game. Now maybe one day the game will be fixed so the travel drive doesn't make you a god but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Remove the travel drive Egosoft till you remake how the game handles it.
You can give a man fire and he will be warm for a day, but set him on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Or they could increase the ramp up time? Although it doesnt really make the player 'invulnerable' in anything but small ships.
It's funny that you mention that too, because SETA in X3 could be used in exactly the same way because AI fire less and miss you if you 'pump' the seta button.
