I've decided to unlist this video as it doesn't meet my current standards for accuracy and objectivity in X Universe content. If you've somehow found your way here anyway, good job, and please be aware: 1. In the 7.0 full release, the H is dramatically more difficult to board. You need 16 Elite marines just to have a 50% chance of success. 2. My comments about the Terrans are not an accurate representation of their lore or my opinion about them. I made a lot of dumb jokes back when I only had 50 subscribers.
I would be more likely to pay money just for more Ship classes DLCs. More Ships, traditional Ships. Battleships with XL turrets. A remade combat system, because by everything that is holy the combat looks boring. None of the Big guns *feel* like big guns. You'd think it should be easy. Just orient yourself on real Warships. WW2 and modern and you have the ideal groundwork for a good looking space game. But no. Egosoft just has to be difficult. Half the AI problems wouldn't exist if the Ships didn't have to point their damn nose guns at a target from that specific hardcoded distance.
I had myself 100% convinced that Timelines was going to let us unlock new lore-appropriate battleships for each faction. It seemed like low hanging fruit design-wise. I actually thought I saw an X3-era Phoenix model in one of the trailers and had a whole theory about it being retrofitted as a battleship. Oh well.
@@CptSnuggles07 What makes it all worse for me is that the new Xenon Ships are pretty much what I want. They look extremely good and they function just the way I expect from a Warship in Space. That one Vigor Syndicate Destroyer is one of my favorites in the game simply because it's the only non-Xenon Ship without a nose gun.
The K is technically still a destroyer, I just hate calling them that because of the insane size/power difference between them and the rest of the game's destroyers. And yeah, I actually just recently realized that about the H's design! So cool!
@@FvsJ101 They're just called "Erlking L Turret" and "Erlking M Turret". They can only be fit on the Erlking due to its unique power core. The blueprints are scattered around the same group of sectors where you find the Erlking itself, which requires the Tides of Avarice DLC.
Very nice Video :) I am more the one-by-one type of guy, but it´s cool to see, how others compete with such a fleet of Xenon. You know that you can charge the Maingun of the Erlking, do you? - 19:18
@@CptSnuggles07 just watch the heat-meter: you will notice that between shots there is a delay until next one starts charging. It is fully charged once heat stops building-up (that 1sec)
Love this game.....just don't have it in me to re-learn how to play it since it has been so long ago since I last played. This is probably the most complex game I have ever played.
The upcoming DLC will add a new game mode that's supposed to be less complex than the normal open universe mode, so this might be a good time to get back into it!
It indicates when the ship's travel drive has been disabled. Travel drive provides very fast speeds but is temporarily disabled by any type of enemy attack. They really could have picked a better icon than a check engine light, but it is what it is...
@@Josivis Yep, it informs you of engine issues regardless of whether you're trying to actually engage travel drive. It also lights up if you're hit by ion weaponry.
Fun fact: The icon turns red if your engines are disabled. Ask me how I know 😭 I actually like the use of that icon fwiw. I like the idea that it will endure far beyond when anyone knows what it's supposed to represent. Kind of like how the phone icon in my car doesn't resemble what anyone younger than 30 would consider a phone.

Love X4.
Keep them coming Captain! :D
Man I love this game

If that H for historic isn´t a homage to the original K design. So X4 changed K´s from destroyer to cruiser class huh?
The K is technically still a destroyer, I just hate calling them that because of the insane size/power difference between them and the rest of the game's destroyers. And yeah, I actually just recently realized that about the H's design! So cool!
@@CptSnuggles07 Perhaps calling it a super-destroyer is more appropriate.
What the heck are you running as guns on that capital 😮😮😮
The Erlking has unique equipment that you can discover through exploration in the Windfall and Avarice systems. Best turrets in the game!
@CptSnuggles07 what how where? What's the turrets name?

Yep, but the charge time is just 1 second, so it's hard to spot the difference between charged shots and rapid-fire. Thanks for the comment!

why is there a check engine light

@@CptSnuggles07 I get that even when I was not trying to go into travel mode.
