Updated for version 6.0, TODO: Finish equipment sections of tables

In X4 Foundations there are different starting scenarios (or game starts) to choose from. These not only influence your name, gender, race or starting equipment but also your initial standing with the different Factions of the game. In some instances the starting scenario also determines initial missions (later game missions are common to all starts).

  1. Weapons and shields are missing from the equipment.

    Is the Economy Analytics Software Mk1 currently not available?

    I can't find it and I started with The Unworthy Entrepreneur.

    (Current game version: 1.50)

    1. I think this is an error in the in-game gamestart info. At the moment, this XR-era software is not available in X4.

    The Untested explorer gave me a travel engine.

    I've not only gotten the HQ, I've even finished a terraforming mission.  The "Unworthy Entrepreneur" and "Accomplished Scientist" starts still aren't available.  I'm guessing they were removed.  (We should have better, anyway, come 4.1.)

    I guessed wrong - it was a bug.  Starts should show up properly for all in an upcoming patch.

    The goal of the character is missing.

    Indeed, each protagonist has an ultimate motivation that justifies all the deployed efforts to conquer the galaxy.
