Proper Feedback Channels
Players are welcome to organise and share their thoughts on X4 via the wiki. However, please be aware that for practical reasons, Egosoft Developers and volunteer Moderators primarily use the Egosoft forum to gather and coordinate feedback. Therefore as ideas solidify here, wiki users are strongly encouraged to post related feedback on the Egosoft forum to help raise its awareness with Egosoft. Whilst this may not seem ideal, it is a practicality that we need to be aware of. To help with that process, a "Forum feedback thread" column has been added to the tables below. Thank you in advance - Wiki Moderators.

General User Interface
Short title | Description / Discussion link | User name | Forum feedback thread |
---|---|---|---|
Encyclopedia links | In the Encyclopedia are many things linked to each other. I would link all entries and mentions in the pages to the Encyclopedia. Click on "Something" --> Page "Something", In the list is "Energy cells" --> Click --> Open page "Energy cells" --> Click back | Perahoky | |
Fast Key overview | While holding a button (for example "^ °" (zirkumflex)), a quick key overview should be visible. With a little bit transparent background, showing most of the key bindings. https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=402794&p=4759427#p4758766 | Enotor | |
Enemy sightings/ History | It would be nice to see a general history of faction strengths in a sector so say in Hatikvah's choice my traders are attacked by scale plate pirates fairly often, but its usually just a single ship. it could say something like "Active Hostiles: Scale Plate Pirates, Fairly Weak" or in a Xenon Sector "Active Hostiles: Xenon, Overwhelming" or have a time component like with trade data. Also a Faction History like "This System is Ruled by the Paranid, this system was once ruled by the Argon Federation" | Hellguard3 |

Ship and Equipment construction animation | When i build ships or change the equipment, the new ship or equipment is beeing visible constructed (or "drawn"). Lets use all these walking people in the station to construct the equipement/ship visually (with a "glowing/burning/welding" effect). Immersive! | Perahoky | |

Auto Trader Feedback | When using Auto Trader you receive messages pertaining to their action and trades, it would be useful to see what the actual profit from their trade was in this notification, or a graph on an information page showing the amount spent vs the amount earned- per trader- per time cycle, to better understand how profitable an area is/was. | Hellguard3 | |
