We have another new beta version for you this week. 7.00 Beta 6 can now be downloaded in the usual way. You can find the complete changelog at the end of this news.

Changes to the new "Existential Crisis" endgame activity
Thank you for your feedback so far on this new 7.00 late-game feature, based on which we've made several changes to it. The feature was always intended to be optional, but now the "Existential Crisis" will be very much opt-in rather than opt-out. To make this happen, we're introducing a new research step that will be required in order for the Crisis to occur, meaning that by simply not researching that item you can very easily avoid it. A warning message in the game will make sure that you are aware of the potential implications of this research.

We've also updated our existing FAQ entry on the "Existential Crisis" with information corresponding to the changes that have been made:

❓ How do I start the new "Existential Crisis" endgame content?
The crisis will be become available upon reaching around half a billion in assets, most of which should be military. This is based on construction cost, i.e. not the monetary value you see in the Empire Menu. As you approach having a big enough empire, Boso Ta will contact you about a new research opportunity making use of your vast fleet. All you then need to do is complete this research and continue preparing your empire for whatever comes next. Boso Ta will later inform you of, and guide you through, the crisis.

We're looking forward to your feedback on these changes in our forum thread[forum.egosoft.com] on the topic.

New week, new beta, as we continue on the road to X4 7.00! Today we have made 7.00 Beta 5 available to you, and we would like to draw your attention to two particular elements that we need your feedback on:

At the beginning of the 7.00 public beta we mentioned that we had introduced a customisable radial menu for quick access to actions in the game. This is designed to make X4 more accessible and enjoyable for players who use controllers, joysticks and HOTAS devices.

With today's release of Beta 5, we have gone one step further and added a new default controller profile to the game. We'd like to ask you to try out this new default profile and let us know how you feel about the default settings, which mappings you find better, etc. Please share your feedback in the corresponding Egosoft forum thread[forum.egosoft.com].

The default controller profile has been changed, specifically to make the new radial menus available on controllers (via buttons X and Y). If you have a custom profile already, it will not be affected. To try out the changes, save your custom profile and load the profile called "Default - Keyboard & Mouse / Controller".

Please note that all of this is still "work in progress". We will continue to work on these controller profiles and things will likely change as the beta progresses.

In version 7.00, a new feature allows users to select specific goods for a subordinate ship to trade. Previously, when adding a subordinate to a commander, the goods traded were selected automatically. Now, players can access the ship's behavior menu and manually choose the wares to trade, after first deselecting the 'Automatic' option. This enables players to exclude any goods they do not want the ship to trade; note that at least one item must be selected. If multiple goods are chosen, the ship will search for trades based on this selection, prioritizing goods that the station identifies as critical.

Please test this feature and share your feedback in this Egosoft forum thread[forum.egosoft.com]. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for all your positive feedback on our 7.00 Public Beta launch last week, and also on our dedicated trailer. We're embedding the trailer again in case you missed it previously:

Those of you who have been with us for a while know how things proceed from here on out, but for all new X4 pilots, here's a heads up: During the Public Beta phase, we will regularly release new beta versions that fix issues found in the previous version, or improve features. This way, we are slowly but surely working our way towards the release of the final 7.00 update.

The next step in this direction is today's release of 7.00 Public Beta 2, which you can download now. At the end of this news you will find the changelog for this new version.

How Do I Take Part in the Public Beta?
Every player who owns X4: Foundations has the opportunity to download the new 7.00 Public Beta version. In order to ensure that beta participants are aware of the risks and rules involved[forum.egosoft.com], we ask all interested players to visit our forum, where they will find the rules and disclaimers, as well as practical instructions for participating in the beta. Follow this link to our forum[forum.egosoft.com] - no registration required - to find the relevant information.

Since the start of the 7.00 Public Beta, a number of questions have repeatedly come up, and we would like to address those here:

❓ How do I deactivate or change the UI Glow effect?
From the X4 start menu, head to "Settings", then "Graphics Settings". You will find the "UI Glow Quality" entry. You can select "off" to deactivate the effect completely, or switch to "Low", "Medium" and "High" presets.

❓ I can't access "Timelines", it's greyed out.
The 7.00 Public Beta does not include our next expansion X4: Timelines. The expansion will not be part of any public beta tests. You will not be able to test X4: Timelines in the 7.00 Public Beta of X4: Foundations. The menu item being greyed out is therefore intentional.

❓ How do I start the new "Existential Crisis" endgame content?
The crisis will trigger upon reaching around half a billion in assets, most of which should be military. This is based on construction cost, i.e. not the monetary value you see in the Empire Menu. Boso Ta will contact you and guide you through the crisis.

❓ The 7.00 Public Beta announcement said I can now board / claim / fly Xenon ships. Why doesn't it work?
This should now work in 7.00 Public Beta 2, released today. Please update your game if you're in the Public Beta branch.

❓ I have reverted back from the 7.00 Public Beta branch to version 6.20 of X4 and now my mouse is slow when looking around while walking / in first person mode. What's up with that?
The 7.00 Public Beta modifies and adds a few settings in the key binding configuration file, therefore rendering the file incompatible with older versions of the game. Please restore your key bindings to their default by going to Settings > Controls > Input Profiles > Load Profile, and selecting the Reset to Default > Default - Keyboard & Mouse / Controller option.

❓ I'm experiencing an issue with ...
Please share your feedback / bug report in our Public Beta Feedback forum[forum.egosoft.com]. Before doing so, please make sure you read the Public Beta Rules and Information, which you can find in a sticky thread at the top of that forum.

L'annuncio di oggi è accompagnato da un trailer completo, che mostra alcune delle nuove caratteristiche e dei miglioramenti, e il futuristico universo che attende sia i veterani che i nuovi arrivati. Vi invitiamo a partecipare alla Beta Pubblica 7.00 e ad accompagnarci nel percorso verso il rilascio completo, più avanti nel corso dell'anno.

Come Si Partecipa alla Beta Pubblica?
Tutti i giocatori in possesso di X4: Foundations hanno l'opportunità di scaricare la versione 7.00 Public Beta. Per garantire che i partecipanti alla beta siano consapevoli dei rischi e delle regole[forum.egosoft.com], chiediamo a tutti i giocatori interessati di visitare il nostro forum, dove troveranno le regole e le avvertenze, nonché le istruzioni pratiche per partecipare alla beta. Seguite questo link al nostro forum[forum.egosoft.com] (nessuna registrazione richiesta) per trovare le informazioni in merito.

Con l'ultimo aggiornamento di X4: Foundations, i giocatori sono invitati a sperimentare l'evoluzione più completa del gioco fino a ora, con miglioramenti che spaziano tra contenuti, meccaniche di gioco, usabilità, accessibilità e prestazioni tecniche. Questo nuovo capitolo introduce una serie di aggiornamenti e di funzionalità che mirano ad approfondire il coinvolgimento e l'esperienza dell'esplorazione spaziale, degli incontri dinamici e della navigazione nelle intricate economie e nelle trame politiche dell'universo di X4.

L'universo di X4: Foundations si fa più dettagliato e vibrante con l'introduzione di nuove navi capital Teladi e Argon. Queste iconiche navi sono state meticolosamente revisionate e presentano un design che aggiunge un nuovo livello di profondità e fascino agli incontri spaziali. Quando i comandanti prenderanno il timone di queste maestose navi, troveranno ogni battaglia ed esplorazione pervasi da un rinnovato senso di meraviglia e strategia.

L'espansione dell'universo introduce i giocatori in nuovi settori e punti di interesse, invitandoli ad avventurarsi in regioni precedentemente inesplorate. Queste nuove scoperte promettono di ampliare gli orizzonti e le opportunità, offrendo nuove avventure e misteri che attendono di essere svelati. Questa espansione è completata dall'introduzione di uffici dei manager specifici per ogni razza, che offrono una visione culturale unica delle varie fazioni che popolano l'universo e permettono ai giocatori di personalizzare ulteriormente la loro esperienza di esplorazione spaziale. Guarda il cosmo come mai prima d'ora grazie ai nuovi Ponti d'Osservazione, che ti offriranno viste mozzafiato dell'universo dal comfort della tua stazione spaziale.

L'aggiornamento 7.00 introdurrà diverse nuove navi nell'universo, e vogliamo sottolineare un'aggiunta molto speciale. Siamo entusiasti di rivelare gli stupefacenti nuovi design Xenon PE e SE, che sostituiranno gradualmente i modelli precedenti (P e S) nell'universo aperto, proprio come hanno fatto le navi capital ridisegnate nella versione 5.00.

Altrettanto emozionante è il debutto di diverse navi Terraformer. Queste navi si rifanno all'eredità di X: Beyond the Frontier (1999) per festeggiare il 25° anniversario della serie X. Questi nuovi modelli, che ricordano i loro predecessori, possono essere incontrati nell'universo aperto. Preparatevi a esplorare questi modelli unici!

Tenetevi stretti ai vostri sedili da pilota, perché c'è di più! Con l'aggiornamento 7.00, vi permetteremo di pilotare acune navi Xenon selezionate. Sia i modelli Xenon ridisegnati (PE, SE) che i nuovi modelli Terraformer introdotti nella versione 7.00 possono essere abbordati e pilotati, proprio come qualsiasi altra nave della vostra flotta in X4. Salite a bordo per scoprire come sono state adattate per consentirvi di prenderne il controllo, offrendo una prospettiva completamente nuova sull'universo di X.

Oltre a tutti questi nuovi contenuti, l'aggiornamento 7.00 include anche significativi miglioramenti al gameplay, come l'introduzione della sfida endgame "Crisi Esistenziale" per i veterani. Questo scontro impegnativo mette i giocatori contro una fazione che non risparmia sforzi nella sua aggressività, offrendo una nuova ed entusiasmante dimensione di strategia e resilienza. Per coloro che preferiscono un viaggio più sereno tra le stelle, è possibile rinunciare a questa sfida, garantendo un'esperienza su misura per ogni comandante.

Debutta anche un sistema di telecamere esterne fondamentalmente migliorato e più intuitivo, che migliora il modo in cui i giocatori vedono e, soprattutto, interagiscono con l'universo, facendolo sembrare quasi un nuovo gioco. Inoltre, i miglioramenti apportati all'intelligenza artificiale rendono l'universo più dinamico e realistico. Le navi ora utilizzano la Modalità Viaggio in modo più efficace e con maggiore coerenza, e mostrano una migliore navigazione attraverso i portali e in situazioni di combattimento. Questi miglioramenti sono accompagnati da esercitazioni rielaborate e ampliate, per garantire che sia i nuovi giocatori che i veterani possano impegnarsi e comprendere appieno la profondità delle meccaniche di gioco.

Con l'obiettivo di rendere il gioco più accessibile e divertente per tutti, questo aggiornamento introduce una rimappatura dei pulsanti migliorata e profili di controllo già pronti per soddisfare le esigenze di volo nello spazio. Vengono forniti anche uno slider FOV e nuove opzioni per i giocatori daltonici con colori dell'interfaccia utente personalizzabili. Inoltre, l'aggiornamento introduce un feedback audio e testuale per le varie azioni, per aiutare ulteriormente i giocatori a comprendere le dinamiche di gioco e a prendere decisioni consapevoli. Inoltre, è stata introdotta una modalità a velocità ridotta per coloro che trovano il ritmo dell'azione un po' troppo frenetico, consentendo un'esperienza di gioco più controllata e piacevole. Queste caratteristiche sono state pensate per offrire ai giocatori la flessibilità necessaria per adattare l'esperienza di gioco alle proprie preferenze ed esigenze.

L'introduzione di Lenti per la Visuale Migliorata che consentono di ingrandire l'azione, insieme a un menu radiale personalizzabile per accedere rapidamente alle azioni di gioco e a shader rielaborati in modalità scansione, arricchiscono ulteriormente l'interazione e l'immersione del giocatore. Questi miglioramenti garantiscono ai giocatori gli strumenti necessari per affrontare con sicurezza le complessità della guerra spaziale e dell'esplorazione.

Al centro dell'aggiornamento ci sono i significativi miglioramenti tecnici apportati al motore XTECH 5, che garantiscono un gameplay più fluido e stabile. I giocatori noteranno la differenza di questi miglioramenti, tra cui l'anti-aliasing temporale per immagini più nitide e le ombre migliorate che aggiungono profondità e realismo all'universo.

Questo monumentale aggiornamento 7.00 di X4: Foundations sottolinea la nostra costante dedizione all'evoluzione di X4, con l'obiettivo di offrire un'esperienza più ricca, più coinvolgente e più accessibile che mai. L'eccitazione all'interno del nostro team è palpabile mentre ci prepariamo a condividere con voi gli estesi miglioramenti della versione 7.00 attraverso la Beta pubblica.

In linea con la tradizione stabilita dai precedenti aggiornamenti, il nostro lavoro non si ferma qui. La fase di feedback è fondamentale e siamo ansiosi di perfezionare ulteriormente l'aggiornamento, basandoci sia sulle nostre intuizioni creative sia, soprattutto, sul prezioso feedback che ci fornirete durante la Beta Pubblica. Vi invitiamo a condividere le vostre esperienze e osservazioni nel nostro Forum di feedback della Beta pubblica[forum.egosoft.com], aiutandoci a perfezionare l'esperienza di gioco.

Mentre vi addentrate nei vasti cambiamenti introdotti nella 7.00, il nostro team sta già guardando avanti, lavorando diligentemente alla prossima aggiunta alla saga di X4, X4: Timelines. Vi assicuriamo che ulteriori informazioni su questa nuova e molto diversa espansione saranno condivise non appena possibile. Nel frattempo, possiamo confermare che prevediamo di rilasciare sia X4: Timelines che l'aggiornamento 7.00 di X4: Foundations nel corso dell'anno, continuando a espandere e arricchire l'universo che tutti abbiamo imparato ad amare.

Restate sintonizzati, comandanti. Il viaggio nello spazio continua, e il meglio deve ancora venire.
