I kind of love all these kidnappings going on.
Same thing happened a second time — I was in my ship, having just flown through a jump gate. Full strength on my shields and hull, and then boom: Game Over. No damage, no explanations.
I may set this one aside.
I actually had a great deal of fun once I got past the wackass tutorials.

I love X3, so I'm just a bit lost here. Not sure why I keep dying / getting the Game Over screen when just flyng around. Performance is also a bit shakey - I'm running an i7 7700k with a 1080ti, and pulling down 30-40 FPS with drops to the teens at times.
Lots and lots of promise here, for sure, but typically Egosoftian in its launch state.
What am I doind here reading your experiences instead of playing this..
is there an option to rotate the external camera? In X3 you could view your ships from multiple angels but numpad keys don't seem to work in X4 unless in first person view.
edit: Found it on the egosoft forum. Open external view with F2, then press F2 again to get into rotatable external view. Rotate with numpad keys.

I wish I knew, only time that's happened to me was in the spacesuit tutorial, and I just figured I ran out of air.
With how proactive they are being, I might be tempted to get the game soon.

Just here to be pedantic and point out that responding to bugs and feedback is strictly reactive. Proactive would have been catching and fixing these bugs prior to release, so the public never saw them.
Have stuck with the game today. Aside from the janky Game Over (bug? feature?) stuff, I've started to really dig in. It's much more enjoyable than I originally found it to be.
The scanner mechanics are interesting. I like how much larger each sector is now, and how important/interesting exploration becomes as a result. The controls are a bit rough around the edges, but picking a location and flying out to it in order to find stations, signals, and adventure is what I want in a space game.
It's also a good looking engine!
I have a couple of ships now, because a local pirate faction foolishly tried to attack me when I was out exploring. One of them I turned into little pieces; the other had a pilot who bailed, yielding a ship that I sent one of my crew to pilot. Oddly, the pirate who escaped was hanging out OUTSIDE of his escape pod...
...so we shot him, too.
Looks like he was asking for it, really.
I bought a mining ship and sent it out to load up on ore. Now it's full of ore and it sure seems like there's nowhere to sell it. YOU SPACE PEOPLE DON'T NEED ORE?!
I believe that Refinieries buy ore, as well.
This is such a different experience for me from X3. When I jumped into that, Albion Prelude had been out for years and there was almost too much info out there for me to get started. This is a different experience and it really shows me how much I suck without some extreme hand holding. I might hold off until there are some guides out.
edit* I should read the thread and then post. Thanks Wayfarer.
I'm just glad missions are so much easier to acquire this time. Looving doing missions.
Where can one buy satellites? I am totally out.
Thank you!
Can you buy the construction ships like you could in x3? Have they improved the ui for building complexes?
Is selling Nvidium exclusive to people with Nvidia cards?
I tried to play this yesterday, but after about 30 seconds in it would start flashing over and over for about 30 seconds and then rinse/repeat.
i have a 2080 and the latest drivers so wasn't expecting a video issue.

Considering that card is new I'm not surprised. They probably don't have any systems built with that for QC.
Elysium did a Let's Play!
