Page cleared ready for next Twitch session.  Previous Q&A are now in the Index here: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=396292

Date/Time of Twitch session: 27 September 2017 20:00 CEST

Gameplay

will piracy be viable eg ship capturing

Do we still have to scan the entire station?

can we have landing pads IN ships like the carrier in rebirth you can fly in?

by the way sectors. will it be possible to populate and own player sectors?

Is it possible to go out into space in a spacesuit and walk around the ship and stations?

 Will the boost be tied to shields or there is a fuel for ships that player controls?

 is there any system in place to prevent collisions when exiting gates in large ships? or enter gates when large ships are exiting (aka splat)

In the absence of a hard ship classification system, can you talk a bit about how ships are represented on the map?

Will there be ressource collection with ships like Mining / Gas Collection or only with Stations like in X3 (Asteroid-Mines/Farms etc)

can we teleport to the ststions?

so even capitals are not able to jump, how do they navigate in a fast ways since highways are too small and the old boost did take quite a while, regarding the new sector size it could take very long to react to any capital threat

One thing that bugged me on all X games was the exploration. The universe is big but we never found super cool crazy things like black holes, interesting nebulas or artifacts of a long dead alien civilization. Will that change?

Universe Design

Any funktion to the new Planets apart from looking pretty

 are there any unconnected system you can find in someway, like a new frontier kind of stuff

can we fly from one sector to another one without using a gate since it's all seamless?

Economy / Trade / Build

User Interface

will we have keybinds like the previous x-games? IE can i order my ships around via voice attack?

Combat / Flight

Other

 I noticed the style has changed a lot from X2-X3 and now X4, is there a specific reason for the stylistic change on the ships? 

 Will you be incorporating features from mods? Such as the ability to capture stations, some of the the ship software etc?

Will X4 be multithreaded? 

would there be an option in the settings to remove 99% of the advertisment that is usless for example the highways, they look horrible
