I was afraid of the new “improved flight model” They touted the guy from Star Citizen did it, and that didn’t really give me confidence.

The first warning sign was when they said they hired a developer from Star Citizen to do these revisions.

This si really nice as someone who keeps bouncing off the game Like I do the landing pads. Is there any start you recommend for new players?

Its so funny to hear you say "patch notes seems to be misleading" try SC...LOL, every set of patch notes are mostly false. Id say Egosoft in general are far more accurate that most devs but of course shi# happens :)

Oh, I am indeed here for spreadsheets. They are great!

I just feel like managing all those fighters is hell. Back in older x games, carries at least made some sense due to the jumpdrive, but with that gone, i struggle to see the point. Yeah, you can repair ships, but most ships just get destroyed anyway and you have to order them again. I think what would make much more sense, is drone carriers. Drones are easy to replace and not a hastle when it comes to management. You could even have it that carriers can make their own replacement drones from drone parts. It doesn't really hurt you when drones die - no pilots, no re-ordering ships, no formations, no management - and you can balance the price of drones such that carriers are balanced.

Sad to see that several minor factions were skipped...

Hello, can you help me? The mission "Foundations of an Empire" requires at least one special blueprint. Where can I find or buy a "special blueprint"? Thanks!

Been waiting for a video like this for like years. Thank you.

Im just ecstatic that my favorite singleplayer game is still being worked on with enthusiasm. Cant wait to see the future of X4. If I could ask for one thing from the game though is maybe better late game performance tho 😅

Raptor always felt very inconvenient as a carrier concept, despite being one of the coolest ships. That long passing through the entire ship - what for? Traffic jams? Now the problematic split engineering has really shown itself, AI is incapable of navigating it in more realistic flight model.

Raptor cost as much as 4 colossus and 4 colossus got better deploy and same capacity I will die on this hill, raptor is a bad choice:)

To be fair, beta test is not for new players And those who play beta patches i guess got used to it lol

just time and it will get figured out AI+new Physic=fireworks :D

why dont they make KudaAi a part of the game? Also are those captains 5 star?

I subscribed, but the sarcastic/negative tone is not something I was looking for here. Just updates in informal way would be way better. This is beta, there will be kinks. Report your findings properly and they get attention.

This might be an odd question, but what is that fighter you're in during the freezing part?

So seeing as in battlefield settings and combined setting the Split Combat mk2 Combat was always top except for small combined where is was just second, does that mean the Split Mk 4 Combat shoild always be used if budget is no issue? Also how does the Split Mk4 Combat perform against the Mk3 Travels and All Rounds in the transit tests?

👍

Egosoft. 1 step backwards, then another 2 steps backwards lmao

I mean, its not realistic to do that to a tube while spaceships are flying inside and not expect those spaceships to bump the walls, yeah, gives much better ai, but move a road like that and you ll see cars obviously not accompanying the movement, insects flying inside moving bottles like that will also bump

Raptor washing machine, hilarious

1:39 This broken me 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Egosoft can get their time, I can wait, it has been years of constant gameplay and I can't still get bored of it.

Love this guy, super informative content without going over the top :) just wish my PC could handle the game as well as yours seems to!

The pilots at the start were just having a good time. EDIT: Reminds me of my first Elite Dangerous days

Crefull now bec now all the fanbois will attack you for pointing out the game is a broken pile of sht

Some of them were getting away xD nice joke

Well I am sticking to the good stuff in this video... Seems the best made mod ever for this game can be send finally into retirement. " Restock subordinates" made it finally into vanilla 🎉. Love it this mod.made late game clashes so convenient and now it's available even for those who didn't knew it in the first place

With a "lost ship replacement tab", even i might attempt using carriers. Before, it was way too much of a hassle for me.

Hi, dev here. Re: bug in 6:41, I found out about this bug earlier today and fixed it today, obviously after beta 2 was already out. Just checked the changelog and it mentions the word "freeze" once, and that in a very specific context. I feel bad that you feel like you were misled, but also feel upset that you imply that you were misled deliberately. The mentioned undock bug, I was made to understand, also applied to a very specific case (as most bug fixes do); but the developer concerned is new and the changelog entry was, perhaps, phrased in a manner that was too general. I normally don't reply to these things, you're free to say whatever you want; but I personally hold myself to a very high standard of honesty and thought I'd air my side of the story. Take it as you will.

“[Beta 2] Improved ships undocking from carriers at high speed.” This is not what you tested in your video. While I agree the overall behavior needs improved, I don’t believe the specific bug egosoft referenced in the patch notes is the same as what you’re reading into it. Thanks for your great videos, by the way.

Does this restock ships is good so I dont need mods for this?

This is great, visible feedback. Keep on it!

While the Raptor is still cursed, both the Boron Carriers are cursed in their own way. Getting close to other ships with fightets on board will trigger wild spacetime issues like other ships warping and skipping around you. The most comical cases, being yeeted 29 thousand kilometers away for no explainable reason. More bug reports are required.

Yeah, just test it, frozen fighters are back with a vengence in beta 2. ☹ Time to whip out the save file and report...I just wish that at least one dev would test carrier gameplay.😐 PS: I appreciate the shout-out. 😁

It's good that you can "1 click replace" losses. Edge cases matter, now. What if that replacement cannot be made from your station? What if the amounts to MAKE that ship are not available in any known station? What if it is a hybrid of two NPC stations (common for early game ships), and what if it just lacks the parts currently? Etc.

To me, this looks like an AI issue intersecting with a collision model and physics issue. Seems self evident, but let me explain(all of this is only my speculation from observation) : We know AI is very simple. They do not adjust course to avoid collision reliably, and even if they do they have few actions per second so their reaction time cannot react to fast-approaching objects. So, what happens is: > The fighters seem to set a course outside the Raptor. > Becaue the raptor is turning, the course now goes straight through a wall or other ships. > This causes them to crash, at which point their movement seems to sometimes become "disconnected" from the Raptors inertia, > so they tumble as the raptor moves but they do not. > They set a new course, only for all of this to repeat and overlap. > they also clip through other collision models, which gets them stuck and/or breaks their flight model and/or AI pathing. > I am also pretty sure that for this reason the rotation of the raptor is much, much worse than it simply moving forwards. Honestly, it might be time to just accept that the Raptor might just need fully tractor beam guided docking.

Anyone else get the bug where you can’t tell your scouts to explore a jump gate they just say unable to reach destination

From the outside, looking at what is on that screen, it looks like the sequence placement of orders that is failing here. If, as I surmise, they fixed the flight of fighters leaving the docks, but said fix is "what placement a launching ship needs to aim for" but the ORDER of the actions is first "fighter decides where to fly to" and THEN "carrier does a move", then it will fail the fighters because when it chose its aimpoint to fly to, it was 100% in view, and now, because the carrier in the meantime turned, that aimpoint is no longer reachable out of the hangar bay, the fix will not work. It's like if Ikea had "screw in part B, then screw in part C" when after screwing in part B , there is no way no to get part C in place to be screwed in place. The solution is not "do the bit with part B harder" but to reverse the order of assembly so that when you've scewed in C, you can still put part B in place and reach it to screw it into place.

Japanese carrier in the Midway battle during WWII.

No one was complaining about the flight model. And this change alone breaks a ton of stuff. Dynamic diplomacy in the other hand would have been 1M times easier to implement and a true desired game changer. Egosoft needs a bit less of german engineering mindset sometimes.

I saw <<"Improvements" and "Fixes">> and thought "please God, let it be clickbait." It was not.

LoL "Its a prison ship."

This is a consistent problem with all of the X4 stations and ships. I kind of wish that they would have some kind of a “Highway style“ conveyor belt around any docking area that would just grab ships and pull them through

They said moving, not accelerating, they are different./s Seriously they might have meant moving in a straight line but still not good. The motionless bug happened the the first Xenon I I ever attacked. Whole battle where I wore it down with a few Behemoths it didn't do anything except blow up the asteroid between us, which still could have actually been the lower plasma turret on my ship. Also an additional thought looking at the launching from the end of the video, it looks like something might be going wrong with some of the fighters, because most seemed to get out just fine, but if there was a tiny problem with one it would magnify into a massive problem and get stuck, seems similar for the initial undocking but that was mostly spent on the map screen so it is hard to tell.

That thumbnail is peak

Low level fighter pilot: scared for his life because he is afraid to fly into an ally ship so stops moving for a while to observe the situation Players: FIX THAT BUG :D

To all, please report all bugs to Egosoft😊

The raptor prison is pretty great lol. I wonder what it looks like on a Boron carrier since it's so different mechanically.
