I’ve tried both new and previous save games. Miners for example have been running for a good 20 hours or more and are still only 2 star. They then seem to get stuck at that. No way is that intended.

Oh, those bugs sound annoying.

Ive just found the trading post in the free families sector that could have been much more useful to me when starting out! I knew it was there somewhere. Shame I didn’t try the ZYA start, it seems a lot easier, at least initially.

Do you see the overall skill of the Captain or only the Piloting skill? The Average skill of the 2-3 skills is what you need to be high, not 1 of the skill.
A 5 star Piloting NPC is useless when Managment, is 0 at it drops him to 2.5 average skill.

Post some detailed screenshots of your pilots if you please :)

None of it is increasing much at all, not enough to average anything above 2.5. They need to rebalance - I’m nearly 30 rep with some factions just by mining, meanwhile the miners are stuck at 2 stars. That doesn’t make sense.

It has been acknowledged here though - https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=423361
 
Since the removal of SSAA from the game, I was playing tonight with various settings and to my surprise getting the best results on visuals and performance with 4K VSR + IS + RIS 90%. Was really impressed that the image quality is miles better than the taxing SSAA 2x used all that time.

I know the image is compressed due to imgur, the raw 4K image (have set Steam taking a raw screenshot also) looks really impressive.
Open the image and look at the skin & clothing texture.

Btw this is "engineer" we get on the FRF start, but actually is a Captain with pretty high skills.
 
Have to agree on the Pilot/crew levelling, it's so slow! I've had a couple of bad bugs too, yesterday my save was crashing to desktop after around 3 secs, thought I had lost all my work, but I kept trying for some reason and it sorted itself out.

I just got this bad boy (Nemesis Vanguard), and I love it, though I will be moving back to Split ships when I done a few things. A good starter ship is the Pulsar Vanguard too btw, so much firepower. It is sold by Antigone Republic in Antigone Memorial.

Nice one, where do you buy that?

Looking on a map (https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundati..._i_made_a_while_ago_updated_for_30_and_split/), there is a system called Heart of Acrimony I The Bonyard, upper right side of the map. I am in the system adjacent and I cannot find a way to get in that system at all, am I being a noob?

There is an accelerator gate in Heart of Acrimony II that is dud, or doesnt seem to do anything, but according to that map its a jump gate not an accelerator anyway.

Goodbye Quasar, hello Balaur.

I must have missed this the first time checking through the Split ships, this is my new ride for the time being.

I love the Balaur. Powerful and a great design - they have finally designed some really cool ships. I managed to take out a K with my Balaur - it wasn't quick and it took a bit of manoeuvring, but it is a very capable fighter. It's my vessel of choice at the moment.

It's from Paranid sector, Trinity Sanctum 3.

EDIT: ignore me, I didn't read your post properly (I read it as how to get to the normal Heart of Acrimony and skimmed over the fact you meant the Boneyard one)
 
I just had the sector teleport bug, ended up in the middle of nowhere.

How do I start the HQ plot now that I am playing as Split? Scan one of those random data leaks?
 
Ok thanks guys.

I think I will try claiming some space next. I have about 30mil credits and about 10 auto miners bringing a good income in.

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking one of the neutral systems so I don't have to go to war with anyone and a system with plenty of resources. I fancy the idea of starting up a mining operation first and then build up from there with the eventual aim of being self sufficient if that is possible.

Nopileos' Fortune VI is great for big complexes and shipyards. Nopileos' Fortune II has all the resources you need. VI has great central links.

How do i find a place that sells the balaur? Is it better than that nem vanguard mentioned above?

Also anyone wana setup a little discord for us that play this maybe? Might be nice to share info on that and chat about things there in real time.

How do you guys play this game? Mouse and keyboard or with Joystick etc?
Click to expand...

Mouse and keyboard ofc using NPC pilots to go from A to B. Joystick is only good for S size ships and some M size only, after that is useless. Let alone you cannot manage orders, production, build stations, supply lines, etc while shifting between 2 different controls.

Assuming you do not want to play 1 ship only and not build an empire. :D

FRF I believe, you need +10 and as loadoud full Thermal Desintegrators :D

Balaur is an S size ship. Nemesis is an M size ship (bigger).
If you want bigger ship and you play as Split get Dragon. Absolute blast. Fast, agile, 2 turrets, 4 guns and at the hands of 0-star pilot puts Nemesis to shame.
