X4: Foundations

bb

Still befuddled and confused much of the time. But I keep coming back to LEARN MORE!

Very worth its price. It is no easy game to get into or understand the scale you can operate this game on. You don't need to play a way you don't want to. You want a personal story with one ship or a small fleet. You do you. You can pirate, trade, mine become a mission runner no problem. You want to scale up have fleets with capital ships in different sectors. Become a Tycoon with own factories floating in space. No problem. You want combine both playstyles? Also, no problem, you can switch back and forth thanks to automation and Station managers. You want a factory but don't want to mine, also no problem just buy stuff or outsource the mining to your station manager. You decide, every choice have pros and cons. If you don't control direct it will probably not be as efficient as if you do it on your own. But if you are let’s say a terrible trader the AI will do it better. Never on the level of a veteran player but always better then a new player with no experience in the field. And that is in all departments. The new update 9.0 improved all aspects of the game. The fighting is on a whole new level. Is it perfect? No, but if you just imagen on what a scale this game is running and doing all in the background. This is nothing but impressive. If you only focus on one aspect of the game in detail the game will always have shortcomings to a competitor that focus only on that gameplay loop. But [h2]there is no package today that combines all of the game loops on a okay ++ level like X4.[/h2]
