      ​@xaxas94 small and medium combat ships seem to have blade names (kukri, gladius, falx, odachi, katana etc.) while the modern capital ships do feel japan focused (Honshu, osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa) but the older ships (Asgard is the big one) skip that.

      @@PerunGamingAU There are a few books that may have covered that. I just checked and it looks like they FINALLY got an English translation. I read the summaries back in the day as there was no translation and it sure helped make sense of the story in X2. I'm surprised even the Sohnen make an appearance in Timelines.
      To add to your observations the non-combat ships also have a pattern - Bolo, Baldric and Scabbard (X3's personnel transport) are all accessories used to hold swords. The only one ship that breaks the pattern is the Bolo which is a non-combat ship but is a type of sword.
      You mention the Asgard, but that was part of the AGI Task Force, whose ships all had Norse mythology inspired names so it's keeping with the pattern.

      @datonkallandor8687 4 месяца назад +33

      So the language all the aliens are speaking? That's japanese. Because the Argons were primarily japanese speakers when they met the rest of the community of planets, japanese became the universal trade language that everyone is expected to speak. (Yes the Teladi speak lizard-accented japanese as their mother tongue). The people on earth still use english and various other human languages.
      When the Terrans got cut off from the universe they had to go build tall and they went *hard*. I don't know how much of it ended up in the games, but in the novels they built some absolutely absurd high-tech strutures. For example the moment they figured out jump drives can exist (because a Xenon jumped into the Sol system) they built a sphere of micro-singularities around the solar system so anyone trying to jump in ends up in a black hole instead.

Maybe something with manufacturing Computronic substrate? That would be a small station, but you’d need a lot of miners.

    I never imagined seeing X4 on this channel. I remember my journey with the X series. When I was younger I was strolling through a shop here in Germany and saw this really cool looking gamebox. It was a heavily discounted collector’s edition of X3 Reunion. I bought it and being to young I did not understand the game at all. However it came with a audiobook, a novel written for the series specifically. I loved the novel and it really made me want to play the game, so I spend hours reading through the book of a manual. Interestingly it still features some stuff that never made it into the game. Eventually I learned how the game works and the things you could do were just utterly mindblowing to me back then.

    • @Di3Leberwurst
      @Di3Leberwurst 4 месяца назад +2

      Yea but for me the start was with x2. Strolling through stores, x2 was in one of those discount bins. I think I played the game for 2 years almost every day. Didn't understand shit took me a few months to get my first destroyer but to this day I still enjoy the gameplay until first big ship the most. Unfortunately, the time to get there got shorter and shorter. No idea if it was just easier or if I was getting better. X4 still feels like a big step back in AI compared to older X games, also absolutely hate space legs.

    You've managed to nail the hell out of a niche i've been looking for, which is reasonable playthroughs of games that I in theory enjoy, but haven't had the time to really figure out. I said on the TI playthrough that I really liked how you managed to cut out a lot of the "busywork" and get to the key moments to keep things digestible, and I'm super excited to see X4 for similar reasons. Especially because your goals are much more interesting than the playthroughs i've seen.
    Also I LOVE that the moment you started with "look at the weapons on this ship" that I got the classic RPG "that's some nice equipment you've got there...." vibes and was correct on where this was heading.

    Also you can do drive-by boarding with M Freighters on Capital Ships (you'll need about three freighters there) and L freighters on stuff like Asgards and other capital ships. Just don't fire (turn off your guns), engage travel drive, be like a couple of hundred meters away from the capital ship that you want to board and then hit pause, release your marines, and then just fly on. You don't get any negative reputation as long as you don't fire (and you only aggro lone capital ships that will become neutral/blue to you again after some time, though if you aggro the lead vessel of the fleet you'll get the entire fleet after you, so it's best done to lone capital ships).
    That's a technique called silent boarding. You can even do it to friendly factions without reducing your standing. It's a good way to gain a LOT of money. And also stuff that you can't build yourself, like an Asgard. That way you're also getting under their AA.

    Small tip, especially useful for fighting capital ships in fighters: by default autoroll is enabled. You can disable it, but I think it's better to keybind the toggle.
    Autoroll automatically rolls your ship to what I can only imagine is the Commonwealth Standard Up, super handy for not getting turned around and confused. It does however make orienting your ship, hugging close to large ships, and finely pointing your guns at surface objects much harder. Maybe more than any other ship, fighting a K with or without autoroll is night and day in my opinion. Following the contour of the large undefended upper shell and peeking your guns out is so much easier if you can control the roll yourself.

    I have nothing but praise for the way you delivered this, it covers a lot of the things that newer players like me do not usually see from other creators or they skip out fundamental parts like giving specific orders to traders or miners [something which I struggle with] here's hoping we get to see this stuff from you. gained a new sub today.

    There is a term for that:

    Yes. That game's name is based on a very real term, for a very real subject matter.

    the cogitive dissonace I have with the X franchise is, from a defence industrial perspective, you - one guy - can build a factorio style economy that churns out capital ships faster than the 1940's USA and 1) nobody else it doing it too and 2) nobody tries to stop you unless you deliberately aggro them for funsies

    • @PerunGamingAU
      @PerunGamingAU  4 месяца назад +4

      One of my wishes for the game would be a DLC aimed at expanding the reactivity and scope of the late game. Diplomacy, sector ownership, factions scaling up to match the new realities as the player reshapes the economy like you said etc. Basically more gold to keep things real and RPG rich in the later game. "Halls of Power" or "Escalation" or something like that.
      Plus a great time to introduce some more capital ships to fit the theme.

    月船 "Moon Ship", interesting system name. Also one of the NPCs mispronounces it as "Getsu Fun/月ふん" which is hilarious because it changes the meaning from "Moon Ship" to "Moon Shit". That "e" at the end is NOT silent! I had a good laugh at it. Thank you for being aware and pronouncing it (mostly) correctly.
