I watched the videos “What is X4,” “X4: Foundations Diplomacy Update (8.00),” and “X4: Envoy Pack” again, and suddenly I'm about 25 minutes closer to the release... :wink:

Great tip! I tried sleeping and it got me 8 hours closer. Unfortunately went to work after, which slowed down time by half, so I am kinda now where I started initially. Can afford the DLC now, though.

Code: Select all

I have a few questions about some of the changes. Maybe somebody on the beta branch, or a dev, might know? I haven't touched any beta content, so I'm mostly unfamiliar with how all of these new gameplay mechanics really play out.
Removed Make War not Peace mission after Paranid Civil War story, unless already started.
Is there a suitable replacement for achieving the war state(s) in the universe that this would have created? That is kind of a part of the reward to the storyline there, imho.
Say I go and complete this mission in a version from before 8.00 stable lands. Would that leave my game save in some kind of legacy/unsupported/dysfunctional state?
Changed SETA from craftable item to research.
Does researching it make that available as a pre-unlocked research item for (budgeted) custom game starts, so that we don't have to do it again for subsequent new games? Most all of the research items function like this already.
[RC 1] Fixed missing second shield slot on Xenon SE.
Will this affect existing ships already present in the universe, too? I own a lot of these in my current save, out running logistics, that I have bailed over the course of my game. But because the blueprint for the ship is inaccessible to players, there is no way to replace them in-place afaik.

And a fun one, I suppose:
Added more Argon connection module variety for station construction.
No love for the other races? :P I really need a Terran compact cross connector badly.

Without a report in the appropriate place (along with the requested informations & files) it will stay this way.
