New Argon and Teladi ships look amazing.
I hope we will get more of these reimagined models.

Thanks for pulling my attention to this issue, it appears Dal was having a party - in an upcoming beta he'll appear again so you can talk to him to continue the storyline.alt3rn1ty wrote: ↑Sun, 5.

7.00 Public Beta 5 now available
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:
[Feedback Request] New Standard Input Profile for Controllers
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.
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.
[Feedback Request] Subordinates Manual Ware Basket
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. Thank you in advance.
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, 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 - no registration required - to find the relevant information.
Please share your feedback / bug report in our Public Beta Feedback forum. 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.

Re: X4: Foundations 7.00 Public Beta now available
Hi Tomonor - since we are getting closer and closer to 7.0, I wonder, if Egosoft still keep archive 1.0 version?
There was A LOT things added and changed across the years, both content wise, gameplay, engine and graphic, so some kind of summary and comparison video between 1.0 and 7.0 might be quite shocking

Re: X4: Foundations 7.00 Public Beta now available
Does anyone else have problems with repairs to supply ships? My DDs do 20 rounds to dock, if they even manage to do so.
And for stations, the target number of drones required is always set to 0.
When I teleport to a DD I can't brake, I hope these are just beta problems 🫠
And @egosoft, it would be awesome to give Station traders the repeat order "Fall back to Station or Dock at Station after trade"
I hate it when the Trader ships gamble near hatvikas gate after a trade and wait to be knocked out

@ TVGHeiko: Please don't use this announcement thread for beta issue reports. They go one per thread along with related supporting information and evidence in the public beta forum. Don't make any speculation or gameplay suggestions there though; they would correctly go in this general X4 gameplay forum, but not in this thread.

7.00 Public Beta 6 now available
We have another new beta version for you this week. 7.00 Beta 6 can now be downloaded in the usual way.
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 on the topic.

I think this is gonna need some re-thinking when it comes to capital shields in places like Tharka's Cascade XV.[Beta 6] Added sound effects for shield recharging and shield fully recharged.

Re: X4: Foundations 7.00 Public Beta now available
Yes, we're aware. We realised just before we released the current beta, but it was too late to do anything about it.
