Hi,
I'm a returning player with the 9.0, I only played 15h at release and now well, got the dlc and after the tutorial, the game says to play timelines so I did.
I think the current balancing of the game have a problem : I can't pass "The Fade" mission (which would be "mission 1-4"). If I stick on the big boat, the fighters are too effective killing engines (then the hull) and if I stick on fighters, the xenon boat is too effective killing the hull.
6 attempts I think, and my best record of distance is 81%. So I can't go to 2nd lock missions (I guess ?)
Am i true or not ? Can any veteran pass that mission with 9.0, so you could tell me I'm wrong ?

Re: X4 9.0 with timelines
ok, i could pass, the method is very simple.
missile lock one guy, shoot missile then do anything but never touch the missiles again. missile accuracy will be 100%, you get one star and you'll pass.
10 attempts, my best distance is 91% so far.

Re: X4 9.0 with timelines - resolved
Die Abschluss Mission des Timelines Graph 1 ist eine absolute Frechheit seit der neuen Waffenausbalancierung. Das ist mit den Waffen nicht zu schaffen und nimmt einem neuen Spieler jede Motivation. Wenn man das Balanceing der Waffen anfasst, dann bitte auch die Gegnerstärke und Anzahl. Eine solche Mission ist einfach nur frustrierend und wird dafür sorgen, dass ich X4 erst einmal nicht mehr anfasse. Es muss wenigstens für einen Spieler möglich sein, einen einzigen kleinen Stern zu erhalten, ich will ja überhaupt nicht von 5 Sternen sprechen.
Selbst verschiedenste Taktiken haben mich keinen Schritt weiter gebracht. So ist das Ganze definitiv unspielbar und wird nur negative Eintträge generieren. Es muss auch für einen Gelegenheitsspieler möglich sein einen Spielfortschritt zu erzielen, die Hardcore Fraktion kann für 5 Sterne ja gern eine überirdische Herausforderung bekommen. Bei Steam gibts dafür von mir eine kräftige Abwertung, da der Wechsel des Schwierigkeitsgrades von einer auf die nächste Mission völlig daneben ist.
