Just a Dumb idea i had :}

Been doing some thinking about it and im sure they get lots of requests like this, so i dont expect much out of this post except for negative nancys or other people who support this!

Me and a couple buddies were brainstorming the ideas for multiplayer implementation, if i had the knowledge to create such a system id create just a simple Private COOP system for 2-4 players just for friends to avoid griefing and such, and to reduce lag issues make it so host is fleet commander, and can choose to give command of other ships to the players aside from initial starting ship!

Well my name isn't Nancy but below is what Egosoft dev CBJ said back towards the start of X4:
"For reasons that have been discussed at length, any form of multi-player involving real-time interaction between players is off the cards."

Eight years later there's no sign of any move from that in X4 and its game engine so far. Ventures (when it comes back) will be a move towards more inter-player influence, but almost certainly not with real-time play interactions in the main X4 galaxy at least. You'll need to wait for some future dev announcement for more information.

There were the trial Multiverse Team Seasons (not real-time interaction either) which you can read about here - I'm not sure how it progressed after that.

Really looking forward to Ventures when it comes back, its the only thing stopping me trying out third party mods all this time just to keep my ongoing game unmodified (well, that and beta testing).
I haven't seen mention of any future date either.

Thank you for being respectful with your reply and enlightening me on the multiplayer situation!, i should have done more research on the subject! thank you so much!

I'll look at how Riftbreakers are doing their co-op.
Long story short, it isn't really that easy, doubly so if you aren't building from the ground up.
