Inactive jump gate in Brennan's Triumph.

I assume that it means one thing.

Boron confirmed. Calling it now.

Ego said Borons werent planned, didnt they? Probably because it wouldnt work with all those premade sections.

Then again, if the DLCs sell well, maybe.

I watched their livestream, they said that they are thinking about that and other stuff and know lots of people are fan of the Boron, they also said that they "breath" underwater, so designing them will be challenging, so I assume either they won't release them or they will release them with something ingenious, but who knows, we have to see in a few years just to see if Ego releases boron or not.

If they did add borons it be just a ship/station dlc with some sectors with boron control with random story/quest. No boron npcs as they would be stuck in space suits even on their own ship.

Highly unlikely, they could also add the rest of the Khaak, so we could have a new khaak invasion like in X2 and X3 from Reunion to Terran Conflict.

Like I said before, we have to find out and see, why not enjoy this expansion and then we could start speculate when Egosoft says something about potential new stuff.

Actually in X3, if you noticed, you could see that they sort of lived in very humid pockets of rooms, a great exemple is the Royal Boron Shipyard (Large Version) and the Boron Megalodon and lore said that their trading stations had rooms with air so other species could work/trade there.

But if Egosoft would release them, I would assume they would have either some sort of bubble around them like a water forcefield or a spacesuit or you couldn't play with them like the Xenon, but the difference if you were from their species you could play with their ships.

I don't know, with a bit of clever design the Boron could build an exosuit that they could pilot. (Where their actual body makes the upper torso, and legs can be controlled by their lower fins) however it would likely make their character models larger in size than other races.

It's really dependent on if they need to breath a watery atmosphere, or whether they could use the standard atmosphere the other races use but just needing some "Land legs".
