Hyperion DLC

[[-RB-] swing]

What's the big deal? It looks pretty but isn't it just another ship?

[zpc]

It's a fanservice for players of X³. This ship was added somewhen in X³:Reunion and a lot of players love it. So much so that it was added in later X³ games as well.

Yea, I'm just not one of those guys who goes starry-eyed over yet another ship. I haven't flown half or even seen the interior of most ships in the game. To me it's releasing yet another sports car to join the zillion sports cars, it just stops being a thing after a while.

I would so like work done in other areas like npcs and immersion stuff, but whatever, I'm the odd man out. I know some guys live for nothing else in this type of game except yet another ship to add to their oodles of ships.

"Other areas" stuff is usually base game, i.e. free updates. Check out our Public Beta news to get a glimpse of what's to come as part of the Flight Model Update later this quarter: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/392160

Will this also be a fully AI generated add-on?
Will it cost as much as the previous one?

I'm with ya.
Rather, it's not that I'm against more ships, but I want more ships for the entire sim to utilize, not just more special player ships (or sports cars lol)...

I'd decided to buy the "mini-dlc" to support them developing other areas, but...I was expecting a "mini-dlc" to come in at something like $5, not $10.
I do feel like I've already done my part, buying every DLC, while waiting in perpetuity for little issues to be fixed since the launch of the game. There does come a point...

NMS has good developers. Free and beautiful DLC without AI:)

yea, I'll probably buy it to support them so they get around to doing the other stuff we like. Well I hope they do the other stuff...

Could you imagine a world where the player would be the boss of the station manager instead of doing the station manager's job for them? I would love to be able to turn on and off the priority ware mechanic by ware or by station but I suppose I'm the odd man out. 🧐

Yep. I'm with ya. Lets talk about the priority ware mechanic control issue....🧙‍♂️

🤪I didn't know you were such a comedian. 🤣 That ain't happening. They are only going to do stuff they like and in which will bring in the most money. Why do you think Mr or Mrs belgoray plugged in their advertisement/response when I haven't ever seen them reply on this forum, ever. You're just a free test subject that is paying them for the privilege of being prodded. I wouldn't get my hopes up on this front but enjoy spending your money. 😱🤭🤓

Looks like opportunities for the Springblossom, Acrinonyx Prototype to show up along with the Albion class as expeditionary-class ships. That fills the ranks of Holy Order/Godrealm, Terran/Pioneers, Split and Argon. Something might need to be considered with the Teladi and Boron as well to have one for all those factions. A Xenon version can be added in a free update.

On the other hand it could be a chance instead to put the Albion class into the Ministry/Company factions and bring OTAS back with one of those signature M6 ships and a sector or two there to give the Argonians/Antigonians their own expeditionary ship. This will leave the Boron that have the chance of something unique.

@Venerable_Sin
If you cant stop being annoying with the repeated c&p post then I'll start moderating your postings. Its at the point where its just irritating and patience is a limited resource.

Sure, but it only fills their ranks if these ships are properly seeded into the sim for the factions to build, and use.
So far, it looks like additional ships are player ships.
All of the Terran ships we got in Timelines are player-only ships...

[Agonist]

This looks great, lots of fond memories of the Hyperion vanguard from X3. It's exactly the type of ship you want as a player flagship in a single player sandbox. I expect this will go down well.

Hopefully enough people buy it so that they continue to release more in the future. Perhaps bring back the OTAS M7 next?

[Donauwelle]

Wouldve loved to see some "bigger" ship additions ESPECIALLY FOR AI.

Hyperion looks quite nice,
but on a "strategic" level last real addition to the gameplay was the guppy as L-carrier....
Wich sits in its BOR- corner doing nothing at all...

Strategy-layer of X4 needs love man....
Action cameras, new flight model, player ships without end...
Meanwhile Economy didnt get a additional layer since Recycler wich is a sidecut of generic industry....
Meanwhile Fleeting since release basicly just got one Battleship and L-carrier each only for one AI faction or Playerships yey...


Any estimate for the Price tho?
1 Faction with full fleet + story + sectors + architecture = 15 Bucks...
1 Ship (player only?) .... 2 Bucks?

[zpc]

RE that strategic level - as we can buy / build as many as we want I'm sure it scales well when added to a fleet. I'm thinking White Star[www.b5wiki.de] level of "scaling well"

[¥aeko]

we know what it looks like, aside from the christmas tree?

Looks like I missed something.
