I always wondered how egosoft stays afloat. It is so good to hear that 6 years after X4's release the game is fucking GROWING. All the Power to you Egosoft.
Yeah, I looked up the game on one of the Steam watcher websites. A few months after the game came out, the game was dipping down under 1000 players. These days, it never goes under 3000. Not only has it grown, it's grown a lot!
They also qualified for some funds from the government that supports the gaming industry. And i think like he said, they grow slowly, so they don't depend on any other company.
I only started playing a few weeks ago, never realized it came out almost 6 years ago! It feels as if the game just got released with the proactive development work from Egosoft, loving the new features!
i always come back to X4 when not playing Star citizen, X4 is the perfect single player sandbox version of that concept for me
I don’t have numbers but there are many additional Russian players and streamers after Egosoft implemented this language. South East Asia is also a huge market. And their Linux port works very nicely.
A big thank you Captain and a big thank you to Bernd and to the complete Egosoft team loving X4 ❤
Thank you too!
Bernd, thanks for making this masterpiece
My thoughts: For Bernd Lehahn the X games are like his children. When you see how he lightens up when he talks about different things. And when somebody asks for difficulty settings it is like cutting the hand of his child. His answer is basically: Don't destroy the game.
As long as he is in charge I think there is a bright future for the X-Universe and Egosoft.
I do think that an alternative civilian resource sink and an option to adjust hostilities would be beneficial, since players could adjust it - if they want.
It kinda feels like the lore of the animus from assasins creed going back to timelines and jump events. Amazing concept. Would be awesome to have planetary colonization, base building and supply by drop ship and see a planet grow while supplying them.
I would say that one of the key reasons Egosoft has weathered the financial crisis is because they have not adopted any of the get rick quick gimmicks other P2W games have adopted. They put out a solid game, and release extra chapters. Old school game development without playing tricks on gamers pays off. I love this company.
man i love x4 and the x4 devs so inspiring and such a masterpiece. thanks capn for sharing
On difficulty: I love the way the game AI War does difficulty against a GenAI faction.... The more you interact with the AI, the more aggressive they are against you with several milestones. Like if you start blowing up their sectors they will start coming after your stations and sending fleets after you. Leave them alone and they mostly leave you alone. The bounty hunter mod kind of does this for the other factions... I get these fleets of a few battleships and destroyers chasing down my poor Guppy because it helped blow up a station.... Super fun!
Expansion finally here! Last few days have felt like forever.. Waited till 3 in the morning here in Australia to buy this xD
Maybe I missed it, but I had a friend put a question in the QnA for me that was something to an effect of "Is there plans to add more uniqueness to sectors, like sectors giving buffs to certain production modules to make the sectors worth conquering?"
Didn't hear that one asked. I really would like sectors to have more variable rates on production modules besides sunlight.
I remember on different variants of the Xenon S and M Ships like the LX or the LE
Im predicting lore reveals about gate builders/Sohnen/Goners etc. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the sandbox unlockable is reactivating "'dead" gates
Will my beta save be able transfer once the 7.0 goes live?
usually, yes
@CaptainCollins great my first and only playthrough has been in the 7 beta be kinda sad to lose it but really cool of bernd to do an interview like this personal stuff or face to face like this kinda rare these days.
Well, my life is doomed. I feel I need to start a new play through... I can't wait. 😀😍🤩 I do look forward to that end-game crisis. I love using all the power I create to withstand something. It was feeling as if something was missing. Congrats on this fantastic game!
单元任务的模式设计意味着沙盒模式带来的可重复游玩性质势必被削弱，这一点是无需抱有什么期望的。这有些类似于《Starsector》的任务模式，任何其玩家都不会对“这个模式很少需要去重复游玩”感到疑惑。对于纯粹的沙盒模式的爱好者，真正应当关注的仍是该DLC将为沙盒模式带来的变化本身。
尽管遗弃船--尤其是某个Xenon星域的驱逐舰奥德修斯--在比较具有经验的玩家眼中能够非常突出的影响开局流程，但相比之下其实并没有太过突出的对于沙盒模式的影响。如果《Timeline》的奖励只有这一种形式，我将感到非常失望。我更加青睐于蓝图和特殊任务链这种更为长久且影响突出的融合形式：如果能够解锁X族舰船乃至其他老旧舰船的蓝图，玩家就能第一次获得唯有玩家势力能够正常生产的单位（当然，不包括Xenon本身）而且高甲低盾的消耗品设计风格的Xenon舰船也才能真正得到玩家角度上的实用性；而针对时间线主角哈珀的遗产，如果他算是死了的话，也完全有一些沙盒任务的发展空间。
对我来说，最理想的发展大概是这样的：获取《时间线》DLC后，沙盒模式将增加一个（相比过去其他DLC任务链更为简单朴素的）小型任务链，而时间线模式的部分任务完成之后，将使得完成了该任务链的沙盒模式玩家得到特定奖励。
10:37 I'm sorry, Bernd, I'm not one of them. I see a saving mechanism, so I just manually save before I decide on something risky.
So for me i dont have the time to look the whole think, but looks like it is more a set of big tutorials and challenges, with leaderboards. does other then that bring something to the mein sandbox, because I have no interest in this short challenges. is it worth for me to buy it if I don't want the short challenges?
Can't answer that for you. Comes down to: do you want to spend a bit to expand your game?
Yeah i understand, i need more information about it. I think on release of the DLC I take a look at it. when it expands the main game too with a new thinks year it is a no brainer :D example new ships and so on. For me I think is it already a no-brainer when I can relive some key moments since x1 I am an old-timer of this game XD some old missions with a new look, I would love the make a remake or DLC with the complete story of all the games and put it in this engine this would be awesome but hell of work. just dreaming hehe :D
pls i would gladly buy HDR and FSR3
HDR will make the game look better but FSR3 is not helping at all
I get not having a difficulty setting for the Xenon/Kha'k but I think there has to be something to counter the changes to the Kha'ak at least. The Xenon can go to war with other races, great not too bad (HOP helped take care of the Xenon in a bunch of sectors in my game so I'm good). But the way the Kha'ak can spawn wherever and attack while local factions do nothing about it is annoying beyond belief. I've lost countless ships to this even in sectors with my own fleets patrolling. The AI just doesn't do anything unless they're within weapons range it seems. Maybe that can be modified/fixed to make the NPC factions more aggressive about defending against Kha'ak?
This gives Free Space 2 Vybz
28:04 😂 Collins face
LOL, a fart ?
😶
Timelines open up something new in the sandbox - do you need to start playing the sandbox again to get access to it?
no, you don't. It will appear in your current game
@@CaptainCollins Great. thank you!
Listening enjoying all the updates... Did someone just fart? lol
no
No but yes
First DLC I'm really not excited about, I mean I play for the sandbox, I hope the DLC adds to it and is not some kind of tutorial missions like it was in Tides of Avarice... I mean the plot where you had to help the pirates was awfull because you basically learn things you've been doing for 3.500 hours... Cool for newcomers but not for veterans... missions like that should stay in the tutorial section.
Wait and see next week.
Relatable
Twitch stuff interruption at 28:02
Doesn't really feel like anything was answered. Seems like a PR move with no sustenance.
What would you like to have answered?
@@CaptainCollinsI think some people wanted a straight yes or no and some details into why without a politician’s explanation
If egosoft added proper "allow boost" controls for player owned ships I would buy the updates. As it is their omission makes the game unplayable. Sorry egosoft cant see the wood for the trees re bug fixing.
harper donel???? wtf
Wenn zwei Deutsche sich auf englisch unterhalten. Von uns wird erwartet englisch zu sprechen damit andere uns verstehen, wir dürfen aber nicht erwarten dass sie unsere Sprache lernen oder auch nur einen simplen Übersetzer nutzen damit sie uns verstehen. Warum nur ein wenig bücken wenn man auch kriechen kann. Appart from that i can speak and understand english.
Answer is simple.
English is ubiquitous
German is not
I don't normally watch interviews like this regarding games. But this is X4. This is Captain Collins. This is Egosoft. I had to watch. Looking forward to the new content. X4 is an absolutely amazing game.
:O thank you
True!
I like Bernd Lehan. He's a no Bullshit kind of guy.
Which dev studio head in the industry could you actually just ask personal question and even questions regarding the business?!
They would get immediately blocked...
28:04 on here and 1.08:10 on twitch. Has to be the start of the longest minute of the Captains live streaming life. How you kept a straight face was a masterclass of self control. The initial WTF look over to who ever it was had me rolling on the floor. Definately worth clipping and putting on a short :)
hahaha, I don't know what you're talking about :D
Hahahahahaaaaa!!
That was a little preview from the new soundtrack to timelines!!
Cant remember what happens😂
He is scholzing🎉
Most importantly, this DLC gives me one huge feature... A new way to give Egosoft more money and thank them for years and thousands of hours of enjoyment they have given me
I really like what he's saying about having a difficulty in the game.
I'm sad we can't customize the experience, but hey, modders got that covered :)
@@CaptainCollins Yes, I think it's the best way. I prefer everyone having the same universe. If something is too hard, you just go somewhere else.
I want to preface this by thanking the captain, Bernd and Egosoft for their hard work and dedication. I'm glad to see more DLC for X4 and patch 7.0 looks very promising.
Sadly, with respect, i am a bit sceptical about the concept of Timelines. I certainly hope i will be proven wrong next week when i see people play it but so far the sales pitch has not landed with me. I have played every X game + DLC since X3 Reunion (2200 hours in X4 alone) and i think this is the one i'm least excited about.
My main fear is that it is going to be a series of scenarios you will do to experience the story and unlock rewards you can use in your sandbox campaign, and never touch again because "beating your previous score" does not sound like a enticing replayability feature. I have no such reservations with plot missions in the sandbox as they actually help you shape your sandbox and give you new tools to do so, every time you play a new campaign. So i do that bloody annoying Torus puzzle every campaign because the effort has a reward.
You were not proven wrong. I doubt they'll try something silly like that again.
Love the fart at 28mins in. Your face was like wtf, I should have disabled those! Whoever did the sound alert on Twitch is epic. :D
You're like one of ten people that understood what just happened 😅👍
Well... I won't lie to you but then the game first came out I didn't have money to buy it so I got it in other way, was kinda ok but after big updates I got back to it and the game became better and better and still didn't buy the game until kingdom ends... I managed to put money on the side and bought the game to show my support, now then timeline will be available to be purchased I'll get the money from my "in case of" (aka if my fridge break or my car I have some money I can use) to get it... Will probably wait for 2 to 3 days for the quick fixes to get out (you can't get all the bugs out even with open beta) and start explore the new content (and I'll be reading the patch note before going in to see what is new or what not)
Just cleaned out my mods and all my old save that didn't work as I intended (as in some I made a super mega station that can do pretty much everything and in decent quantity but the location became laggy as hell and at some point just started crashing then I was in the sector... But worked "fine" then I was outside the sector)
So with every playthrough I learned something that I'll do next time (that's my problem for most game I start and wonder about another thing and test and wonder something else and test and never goes far :p)
Firstly, I am hyped! Secondly, it is great to know that Egosoft is doing well and growing sustainably! Looking forward to timelines!
Thank you Captain for this coverage! Thank you egosoft for being so awesome! You have the best space game on the market! You guys are great and keep up the great work. Can't wait to play timelines!
Love the game, will be playing Timelines and looking forward to more DLC's, my only big dream would be somehow getting multiplayer capabilities, where a friend could join my game and fly some of my ships as a wingman. That needs to be part of X5
I have to admit I'm not really super into the idea of out of sandbox scenario missions, but I guess I will buy it and give it a try just to support Egosoft. The 7.00 patch on the other hand is very nice from what I have seen so far.
I like it, because in my own universe I don't want to destroy/attack factions before I have all their blueprints. But in those scenarios I can just pew pew and blast whatever I want without any lasting consequence. Plus for beginning players, I think it is a good way to get into the game with combat/trading and such rather than throwing them into the ocean without knowing how to swim.
@iku7630 I mean you can blast the different factions in your save. X4 allows more than one save file. Go crazy and blast them then reload your save.
Very cool that Helge joined Egosoft again :D
I really hope, that he's going to tell exciting stories
Yess, so cool , I really should continue reading the books.:)
Rankings are pointless because people will cheat to the top

Thx for the interview! Timelines became my most anticipated DLC with the introduction of Open Universe crisis as well as interesting scenarios in controlled environment.
Before it I could not make myself continue progression past the "first-wharf" mark or by just getting an Erlking/Asgard. But for this DLC I prepared all the essentials in a Budgeted-start, got the economy running in support of couple of factions and even "borrowed" a fleet of capships together with their fighters :P
Indeed, returning to the game with the new DLC which enhances your universe feels amazing!
Spoiler: you don't need the DLC for the crisis. Thats part of the free 7.0 update
@@Valantati I'm aware, but for me the game will feel incomplete if I don't get all DLCs. Just a big fan since X3
Q&A with Bernd Lehahn, CEO of Egosoft
Q1: Will we get a full roster of Argon and Teladi E variants?
Bernd: "I don't want to promise anything I'm not sure about. We make these new E variants where we find them most useful and most demanded, but I don't promise anything for future updates in that regard. We have to see."
Q2: Will there be more optical reworks on S and M ships in the future?
Bernd: "Well, the E models are essentially new ships done based on the design of the existing ships. With S ships, it was just not as urgent because we are quite happy with S&M ships. There were some capital ships that looked a bit dated, so we wanted to update them. But with S ships, we don’t think it's as necessary."
Q3: Will there be scenarios in Timelines that try to incentivize you to play for a couple or one faction from a roleplay perspective?
Bernd: "Yes, there are scenarios where you play very different roles. This is one of the opportunities that the scenario settings have - you can try dramatically different things without caring about your reputation or long-term consequences. Advanced scenarios, especially, have you commanding entire fleets and performing bigger roles."
Q4: How are you as Egosoft managing the current industry turmoil with layoffs and studio closures?
Bernd: "Fortunately, we are not affected. We are really in a very fortunate situation that the game is growing and developing nicely. We are truly independent since X4, unlike most game developers who depend on publishers or outside financing. This independence has helped us be better prepared against these industry ups and downs."
Q5: Are there any new alien races planned for the X Universe?
Bernd: "There are some ideas, but no immediate plans for the immediate future. The X Universe is about the established races, which have their purpose and are part of a designed mix. It’s more interesting to play with what’s going on inside that mix and add more depth rather than just adding a new race for the sake of it."
Q6: Has the engine swap improved your developer productivity?
Bernd: "The engine improvements, like the physics engine update, have helped the game with performance and collision problems, though not necessarily our productivity. However, improvements in our tools, like the MD programming language for mission development, definitely enhance productivity in the long run."
Q7: Are there any plans for a second season of Ventures?
Bernd: "Yes, we are working on improving Ventures. We learned a lot from the first two seasons and are still improving it. I hope we will have another beta at some point, but I cannot tell you when."
Q8: Is X5 on your roadmap?
Bernd: "It's a moving target. We are currently focused on improving X4. Of course, there are things we can and cannot do in X4, so we always have something in mind for after X4. However, rather than pushing these ideas to the future, we often manage to bring them into X4 through technological improvements."
Conclusion
Bernd: "Thanks, everybody, for supporting us. I hope you guys enjoy playing the base game and give the new things a chance. We are really looking forward to hearing feedback and opinions when the game comes out. Thank you very much for having me."
Thank you so much for the summary 😀👍
Love this interviews with Bernd, keep them coming.👍👍👍
Every now and then :) we're not doing a podcast here :D
Thank you so much for the interview and continued, involved support for X4!
Believe me, it's crazy for me as someone who played sinde X:btf to talk to the CEO. I once told Bernd that it's more crazy for me than talking to Tom Cruise 😅
Thank you for this interview. I will check out X4 Timelines.
The virtual reality bays look really original but also uncomfortable. Suspended at your back with your head upwards
I am playing X series because of the simulated world, I would wish if the resources were concentrated to improve it, instead of instanced scenarios that I am not interested about at all.
I dont know how you didnt start laughing after the fart sound!
This is not my first rodeo with Twitch chat :P
I think it was the dog
With 2,900+ Hours logged since the Terran release: this is one of my absolute favorite game titles. And such a wonderful gem of a game.
Thank you Egosoft for continuing to support and expand this title.
I look forward to many of it's features. Even though I'm very much a player who like my little corner to build. I also adore building fleets. And I am most looking forward to that crisis.
I also find great potential in the idea of this game having a sliding aggression setting for the Xenon. I'd personally enjoy having a greater persistent threat for the latter game, once those military assets have built up.
But most of all, I'm just happy to hear they're going to continue to develop X4 even more with future plans. That is wonderful to hear. I have little interest in an X5 right now. I do not want this to be the last DLC. And I would like nothing more than to see this beautiful title develop deeper and deeper layers of content.
Does he have a brother that's a vet in the UK, I SWEAR my vet, vlad, looks exactly like him, same accent too. Best vet ever by the way.
Bezgl der Frage nach überarbeiteten S-/M-Schiffen: Die Honigfresser (Mineral) und die Honigfresser (Gas) wurden "renoviert". Wenn ich mich rechterinnere, war das schon kurz vor der 6.00.
Sorry, ich schreibe in deutsch, weil ich die englischen Namen dieser Schiffe nicht kenne.
Und ich weiß nicht welche du meinst, weil ich nur auf Englisch spiele :D
@@CaptainCollins I found them on Roguey's X4 site. It's the Manorina (mineral) and Manorina (gas).
Manorina (TEL M mining ships). It's a genus of birds belonging to the family of 'honeyeaters' or meliphagidae
@@CaptainCollinsach du bist Deutscher? 😮bin verwirrt
Still waiting on race specific elevators and landing pads 😉 The Argon has a galactic market monopoly on those!
Love the X series so much, you guys keep up the hard work you guys are actually killing it. Would love the ability to sit down on these new observation decks ! Oh also I get a weird red map glitch while zooming out or in sometimes but the amount of stability and performance that has been done since the last patch is crazy to me !! New ships are amazing and the Setting building in timelines is going to be amazing.
Ouch. "Timed Missions" = Immediate Disappointment. I have so rarely time to play X4 or other Games these Days and I play to relax and destress. Constantly having a Timer chasing me down I need to escape or it is "Mission Failed!" is the complete opposite. I will keep the DLC on my GOG Wishlist but I will not buy it until we either get A.) X4 Mod Tools to disable the Timer and or B.) Someone creates a Mod which either disables the Timer or if disabling is not functionally = programmatically possible, extends the Timer to the maximum possible. Hopefully this will be at least a U32 Integer which would allow for an extremely long Timer.
Or even better for everyone would be C.) Patch 7.10 brings a Game Settings Option to disable Timers for People who do not like them. And at the same Time, People who like those Timers can enjoy the extra Stress.
Anyway Good Luck with all future "X" Endeavours Egosoft. And thanks for the Interview Captain. Have a sunny weekend everyone :)
#StaySafeStayHealthyEveryone
I’ll definitely make a mod if timers end up killing enjoyment of content.
I agree. I play for exactly those reasons. Thus I doubt I will buy Timelines because I am retired and had a lifetime of stress.
good
Have some mixed feelings. The Endgame sounds good, the scenarios maybe. For me X4 is missing a nice story plot. That plots you have right now in the game are are pretty thin, I think. But probably with that new scenarios from the past lore could be a good starting point for a true X4 story plot DLC. :)
I have problems getting into it (played X2 for a long time). Some mechanics (UI) turn me off and some design decisions (having characters both alien & human that dont look real - better make a machine inhabited universe).
Hello Captain,
Thanks as always for this interview. Always a pleasure to get some news from Egosoft via Bernd on next about X4 😁
I'm just waiting for the 20th to get the DLC 😜A good reason to comeback on it 👍
_Waric
PS: of course, I heard nothing ... 😜
So, Arcade elements to get boni for the sandbox game... do i understand that aproximately correctly?
If i can get me a Springblossom through those missions, that´s an absolute win in my book. Love that ship in the X3 games, and i want it in X4 as well.
Especially since i never liked the Katana´s looks which are still the same. Shame the ATF no longer exists, their ships also looked great. A revival would be amazing.
Thank you so much for asking about a difficulty option. This interview was really insightful and perspective changing. Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please, I'm Brazilian and I would really like to understand the conversation. Please enable RUclips subtitles so we can translate it into our language.
Hope that it will be there later. Live it's not possible
@@CaptainCollins not possible yet :) probably will be within 2 year is my bet
EgoSoft... One company that thinks providing a life long game, for one low price, is better than making multiple games, to make money.
I feel like timelines is also timed just about right to capture and give a gentle introduction for players of Elite:Dangerous that're looking for something to do.
Hm die größte frage ist doch wer hat da in Timelines gepupst.
wer?
Bernd Lehahn Thank you for creating this awful, disgusting DLC.
Helge is employer AFTER timelines?
X5 I hear you trapsen.
What about the new ships they showed?, are they going to be available in the game or just the scenarios?.
It just hit me, and now I can't unhear it...he sounds like Kermit the Frog! 😂
i wish the game would flesh out factions interaction with each other and the player faction more, but at this point. kinda unlikely to happen
Same here. Asking that every time and gave up sadly.
that would really be awesome
28:03 when they were talking about tutorials & racing,
This is an amazing idea for this game, Can't wait to play!!
I'm only 10minutes in.... but do we get classic weapons in those timelines?
You have to discover that yourself 😉
A really nice thing would be to be able to interact with the simulation as a commander trought an app on your phone or a web portal. So when you are far from home you can still interact with your running X4 game in a convenient way. Making it feel alive. Send your ships to build.. see the prices on the market... that kind of stuff.. not multiplayer.. just a way to interact with the game in another way. I think people that love this kind of games will love this idea. But i dont know if you can interact with the game outside of it trought apis.
I've been known to do that with things like chrome rdp for basic map/menu side empire management prodding... no good for flight, but that's what a taxi's for.
@@xxpoisonblxx chrome rdp for basic map/menu side empire management? can you elavorate?
@@holymegadave I leave the game up and running, remote in to my desktop when I'm away from the desk, and poke fleets around, buy/shift/assign miners to cover gaps, etc. General light weight stuff that doesn't suffer much from 2fps.
44 minutes in and you kept your cool 😎 😅 … wrong button ?
donation sound :P
What about the UI? Is it still going to be a spreadsheet?
They won't make this game "easy"
I appreciate the interview but the information you get here is very minimal, because of "spoilers" you avoid getting into detail about some aspects that players like me really want to know and understand. Everytime it gets interesting "Oh we cant talk about that, its spoils the game" Yeah I get it, but please dont be so vague. It is not like X4 is known for its deep story or surprises.. It is known for its sandbox and gameplay. I really hate when people make a big fuss about a topic, but never ever explain what its actually all about 🙃
I really hope that they will do a little rebalancing of ships and equipment. considering the actions of the AI. Well, they will improve the AI. Just as it would be nice to make it possible for AI to interact in groups in battle.
In short, the combat aspect of the game is lame, strange balance + Tactical \ Strategic actions of the AI, and behavior of capital ships in battle. M ships are a little lame
S ships are the most adequate, there are no complaints about them (except perhaps interaction within the group)
I hope the ships will get more visual damage in the future and more smoke and fires… if possible. That will greatly improve immersion. Great game, made with passion.
Are you referring to 7.00 already? Since they got a lot better now
As long as it isn't the Acolyte level of fires. Campfires in space.
You have to think about all the other players who don’t have strong PC’s. That’s going to lag the hell out of even high end GPU’s
Turn on taa
One thing i do wish may pop up later is multiple options for the end game crisis. I love the addition but also at the same time a part of me looks at what happens and goes "again?!"
Is there a transcript (hopefully RUclips generates one for you?) my hearing isn’t best
im a fan since x2:the threat and it grew so much. cant wait what future holds for the series
Yeah, I'm sitting this one out. Stand-alone single player missions, not real story development going forward, limited expanded universe. Good call for more end-game content though. And probably the most requested fix for the game went completely untouched: NPC AI. Holy cow does this need to be fixed. Pay attention to your fans, fix the garbage in the current game before you add more unpolished gameplay and features.
I was really inmersed listening to Bernd when you suddenly pushed that buttton man hahaha caught me by suprise!.. i cant wait for Timelines to come out! Big fan of the X universe!
Like Shaggy said: it wasn't me (honestly) :D
Have they ever updated the character models? Aive not played the game in sometime.
Not really. Different clothes, but I think that's about it. The models you see in the video are typical.
This is why you don't eat taco bell.
Germany ≠ Taco Bell :)

I have a feeling they are preparing the way for microtransactions with this new DLC.
Crazy :D
I mean they are using AI to voice stuff instead of properly paying voice actors. If they're not even paying staff properly my hopes for consumer friendly business practices aren't high.
I've been playing since X2. While X4 is a great singleplayer game, it's developers are killing their own growth by not being an online, multiplayer game. I hate to say "They need to jump on the bandwagon" but they really do need to get with the times. People enjoy playing with friends. They might not want a crazy PVP experience, but most people do like to co-op with friends. I can easily think of a dozen games where co-op is the thing. I'm hoping Timelines turns out to be the first step in that direction. The game needs to do something different.
Star Citizen isn't really a game yet, but it seems like other developers are stealing their ideas and getting to market first. Walking in stations is nothing new for X4. I guess their biggest issues would be the networking and servers problems, as well as how they would handle one player attacking another player. I really hope they come up with a MMO.. MMO's are extremely popular for a reason.
stay away from x games
No, just NO! It would completely ruin the game. The main appeal of the game IS the single player aspect, of shaping your own universe, all by yourself.
I have no interest in multiplayer games where goofy players are running around continuously screwing up my plans and the beautiful stories and progression through the different parts of the game as conceived by the designers. This game isn't just about a person or small squad of people endlessly shooting each other like so many games out there, despite such games' obvious appeal to people who aren't very clever. It offers a lot more than that. As the player of this game, combat in my own ship is only part of the fun. I develop and control different kinds of fleets of ships and a whole growing mining, manufacturing, and trading empire that affects the whole galaxy in a carefully designed way and can eventually dominate it if I am skillful. Those who like a big chaotic mess with other human players should go play that kind of game and leave great single player games alone for those of us who are capable of understanding what makes them special. As for the BS about "killing their own growth", Egosoft is doing very well and growing, and I don't really think they need your advice.
