[@CaptainCollins]

Thank you! Try to do more like these in the future. A little more glam to this beautiful game :)

[@Tiki832]

Moreya is a VERY interesting design for Terran, everything about it seems to be a hybrid of Terran design at its core but then incorporating alien engineering. Really love that Egosoft actually introduced a ship like that as it has been a while since I've personally seen the idea of race hybridisation designs in the X series.... think the last time I saw a ship that was clearly a hybrid design between two races was in the original X:BTF.

[@Auslander-zz6yc]

Some of the small and medium ships look great, but a lot of the uglier ones make me wish they looked more like their counterparts from X3: Terran Conflict, like the scout for example.

[@themajormagers]

the scout is just "hey the xwing backwards is cool. but that is what they had in B5. we will put the cockpit way down lower."

Probably, they are straight up copies of the Paranid Ships

[@cyberman2294]

had hopped that something like the Griffon, so a real drone carrier in the m class would be appearing. so in my opinion the stats are not better then my cobra. will see if it gets beter when i mod them(ingame)

[@brichards989]

One thing to add regarding the Moreya Fighter is that it also has storage for Solid and Liquid. I'm not sure why Egosoft did that but I'd think there's reasoning behind it.

[@CaptainCollins]

Kuraokami too, I guess it's because tgese are the only yaki ships they use so they are their transports 🤷‍♂️

[@Jbay2608]

I jumped back recently with COH. The Terran story seems to be really good so far, and their ships are so nice. I'm looking forward to getting a new one after I make some cash.

Not only that... I feel like there are missing chances to get money in TER sectors. I can't pinpoint a single thing, but overall I'm missing opportunities.

[@efxnews4776]

I betray the Terrans and side with the Yaki, thing is, i already have basically all terran blueprints... The terrans got really piss of with me, but the funny thing is that the ANT, TEL, PIO and ARG immediately side with me and start to fight back the Terrans too, pretty fun set the galaxy on fire while i make a power grab of all xenon sectors... Also the VIG and HOP, really hate me, the VIG because i built a station that sells food in their sectors, and the HOP because they were my favorite favorite pirated faction, rip HOP, i miss their ships.

[@playakoz]

I beg of you to do a new player walkthrough/tutorial at release, I bought this game at initial release and have always struggled with it. I have since then started playing the beta, and I'm starting to lock down the base mechanics and controls, but I would love to play this game with a helpful teacher like you. Enjoying the videos!

[@CaptainCollins]

I do already have one for Version 3.30. It's still viable, even with the new ships and factions. But I plan on doing one with Terrans ;)

Looks like there are 2 shield slots for the Nimcha scout, you missed the top one 4:32

[@CaptainCollins]

True :) that was the nervousness at the beginning

[@J.D.Vision]

What is the best configuration for the Jian?... Is the Mason stream MK2 worth it as the Jian gunship's main weapon?. Which turrets are better for the gunship the beam turrets, the bolt turrets, or a mix of the two?.

[@kundason7546]

what music is this at the start of the clip . i really liked it

[@CaptainCollins]

That song is from the youtube library. It's called "Saving the world" from "Aaron Kenny"

[@Tiki832]

Terran S Nimcha Scout looks like someone took a Babylon 5 Fighter and just strapped a crew berth compartment on the bottom. lol

[@Tiki832]

And that Baldric core frame to me looks less Romulan and more inspired by the smaller Bentusi ship designs (From Homeworld, specifically the Bentusi Destroyer). Got the curved centre design with the two extended arms going frontward with the front of the ship being open following the curve of the arms.

[@Cr4sHOv3rRiD3]

Mason stream is my kind of weapon, high damage and low cooling cycle. The reason is simple, for example ship with 3 weapon slots, put 2 ions as primary weapons and 1 mason for secondary. In the first pass take down the enemy shield with ions in few shots then fire a mason once on his hull and kablamoooo, almost one hit kill (for ships under 6000 MW of hull) :P Pretty damn good combination if you ask me, specially if you use ship with 4 or 5 weapon slots, you can even mix this setup with some barage or lasers, or even put more ions and mason as well (for easily taking down Medium corvetes/gunboats or even Large ships ^^). Again example, take the ship with 5 slots, install 3 ions for shield damage and put 2 masons for hull, when you take down the shield (easy enough) of the enemy, just fire those 2 masons and do almost 10K hull damage to the ship (insta kill for mediums), but instead of having 3 ions, you can install only 2 and put just one missile/torpedo, just to be able to bombard the enemy until masons come back online (if you miss the shot ofc) :D Pretty good stuff :D

[@AynenMakino]

I've recently bought the game and have been studying your videos for it. It really gives me the impression that, so long as the user interface is good enough, you can really build a Homeworld-like experience within this game, executing complex strategies with complex fleet compositions. Do you think the game as it is now allows for this already, or is the A.I. or interface just not suited for that level of RTS gameplay?

[@Emanemoston]

Thanks for the video.

[@DerFreiegedanke]

Nice video! I wish they had more Solid-Projektile Weapons and Railguns, I dont like all the fuzzy pewpew.

[@CaptainCollins]

Thank you!

[@nobletenshi7659]

Well I played x4 foundations while ago, and it was fun for the most part, I just wish I had blueprints to build stations. I hated that I had to do piece by piece and not knowing if the station would function correctly or not. Cause it takes hours to build. Thinking of giving it a new run I guess if theres a new expansion coing. Im always a fan of humans and kinetic weaponry, So I liked the Autocannons and flak. Doesnt seem like any new kinetic weapons introduced. Kinda wish the flak was a bit more powerful, but maybe theres a mod that increases that by now.

[@CaptainCollins]

Well, technically, the L Bolt is kinda "new". But it will definitely suit your needs ;)

[@logangoerks236]

I'm late but it is possible to save blueprints of stations you have already built. Makes it easy for trying to remember what worked and building with less hassle.

[@samnickerson9255]

Where do you get the Moreya? Maybe I missed it in Mars? TBH I only like three S/M ships: Gladius, Moreya and Bolo. I might have to use a Bolo with escorts. At least it looks cool. :)

[@CaptainCollins]

The Moreya is a pirate (Yaki) ship, which you can get from them ;)

[@samnickerson9255]

@@CaptainCollins GRATZI! I assume I need to find them and gain rep to buy them? If I am a HORRIBLE pilot, and cant dog fight for beans, is a Gunship a good player craft for me?

can you mix and match weapons, or is it all one type ? Cause seems each group/ship would be specialized.

[@CaptainCollins]

You can put every weapon you like in every single spot. You can mix like you want.

[@aeontiv]

Do I need to do something special to build the Kuraokami corvette at 16:45? I searched everywhere in Earth's orbit and can't find a wharf. The wharf in Mars and Brennan's Triumph doesn't show me that ship as an option to purchase :/

[@CaptainCollins]

It's not a "terran ship", maybe that helps ;)

[@NatEff3ct]

So I’ve touched X couple times through the years including the first one I’m curious does it have more of a established involved campaign now

[@CaptainCollins]

There are independent story lines that you can follow and finish whenever you feel like to do so, but not a classic campaign.

[@shaunwilson3059]

Are you at a terran wharf I noticed that alot of resources needed include hull parts and adv electronic or antimatter converter. Or is it just a ui bug.

Hi Captain, could you compare the Kuraokami with the Nemesis? I think the Moreya is the way better Pegasus. I miss the speed stats of the Frog. I see 2 shields at the Nimcha.

[@CaptainCollins]

Mistakes were made with the first two ships :) But good for getting more comments ;) I can do that live next week

[@vast634]

re the ships, weapons, shields and engines somewhat balanced now in X4? In a sense that its not just one weapon or ship be strictly better the other ones, making the player only want to have and use a small selection of combinations. With simplistic balancing there is not much point in having that much variety.

[@RadimentriX]

isn't there a second shield gen on top of that first scout?

[@CaptainCollins]

yes... mistakes were made :)

[@EricLidiak]

For kicks, do the old bolt guns rotate too?

[@CaptainCollins]

They fixed it, I believe in a beta patch

[@jeremydale4548]

Anyone else think there should be, in the custom game creator, another filter for race?

[@64SGH]

Hope there are A.T.F ships as well, as I really don't like most of these new designs, I like symmetrical ships so the new paranid clone designs are really not selling this dlc for me, hope the Vidar is in there somewhere.

[@rejest05]

ATF design are already incorporated into Terran faction. Syr and Asgard are typical ATF ships.

[@AzKat69]

Wait, where can you buy those Kuraokami ships? Aren't they yaki ships? The kuraokami is basically the Paranid Nemesis with some containers on top (visuals) + extra stats

[@CaptainCollins]

It's possibly the best player ship in the game, because of its universal cargo :) You buy either the blueprints or the ship itself in Savage Spur at the Yaki wharf. If you do the Yaki quest line you will find it easily ;) Cheers

[@AzKat69]

​@@CaptainCollins can agree that it's one of the best player ships in the game, but was confused as to why it's categorized as a Terran ship (could also be that I didn't pay attention to something you may have mentioned) :)

Meson doesn´t get the e spoken like our german i, it stays an e. Ah, you said it correctly the second time when you got to the weapons... english has such weird spelling... Nimcha has two shields, one down rear and one on top. Though you already had a shield in the upper slot, so it didn´t lit up. I only noticed because of the total shield strength, and then looked at the shopping list. Personally i would prefer if the Proton barrage turns either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on which side of the cockpit/ship it is mounted... to counter the torque...

Slower? the pulse laser projectile is 3x faster than proton barrage. but still proton barrage is probably better if you aim ahead meson stream can be nice to take out fighters in one shot. but using mixed speed weapons on the same ship is problematic.

Everything looks great - the only issue, and this is a big one, is that the ships don’t really make sense in terms of speed and agility. You have corvettes going twice as fast as fighters with nearly identical agility and much higher toughness. This is a problem in the core game too and was something that was NOT an issue in x3.

corvettes have larger hitbox and slower turning(approx half), that's their weakness compared to smaller fighters

@@shaunwilson3059 unfortunately they turn comparably to heavy fighters, and a larger hit box is countered by 4-5x the durability and turrets.

Kuraokami: Reminds me of the heavy fighter of the Vasudans from FreeSpace 2. So.... alien.... sorry..... Katana: ..... *TearsInTheEyes Jian: The question is, what came first: The freighter, or the Gunboat? I hope Gunboat, because changing a freighter to a military ship rings a bad bell which tells me: The Terrans are in dire state, no money, resources, ideas and and and..... In short: They go downhill. Dont like that. Faix: Hmm, these Frigates kind of look all the same In X3 the USC ships were very simple. Could be boring, but they never looked bad. Were build to do their task, no to look good and i liked that. The ATF ships had the feeling of massivnes and being majestic. Gods do i love these ships. These Terran ships here in the oter hand mostly look.... fragile.... alien..... Have unnecessery long wings and other parts and kind of look too smooth. Did the military doctrine change that much? Do they look like they have superior technology and thus better fightes?.... No..... These S and M classes..... Only 3 ships really shine for me as Terran ships. The Katana, Baldric and the Kalis. The other ships arent bad, but they just dont feel Terran to me. Well, Frog can be a Terran ship too xD

yeah the green colors and aliasing hurt my eyes ^__^

[@efxnews4776]

To be honest, the Gladius, Rapier and Nincha wings always bothered me, altought, i always thought that it was meant to be operated both in space as in atmosphere. The Takoba and Kahlis are segaris pioneer design, not Terran, moreya and kurowkami are Yaki designs. Also the Jian doesn't seem much, but once you outfit with some split engines and turrets, you will see it as a great killing machine.

[@Dutchfal]

Can't say i like the Terran ship designs, in X3 terran ships were way better looking

[@Darkom1972]

no offens mend by it CC butt u pronounced Rapier wrong, its said like the sword Rapier

[@CaptainCollins]

I struggle sometimes since Wnglish is not my native language but my third ;) will get better 💪

[@alee_enn]

Can I have the Terran ships from X3TC please? The X4 Terran ships are horrible.

[@Ekstrax]

why are they so expensive tho >.

[@orlandomando8486]

NImcha 2 S shields not 1 my dude ;)

[@CaptainCollins]

Got me there ;)

[@MercMajorGosnell]

Even with all these new ships,the game still lacks the fun of X3,

[@Aotearas]

Sorry to the talented Egosoft ship modelers you guys did an amazing job, but the Nimcha and Rapier look fugly. Asymmetry is one thing and I can enjoy asymmetric aesthetics, but what sort of space ship designer would just slap a cockpit in that position? This looks like they designed a ship and somehow forgot to add a cockpit until it's been way too late to rework the entire ship and then just slapped the cockpit to the bottom end of it and call it a day. And it's not even something you could fluff away as some form of engineering culture because those two ships are such extreme outliers to the remainder of the terran ship designs (well, to be fair there's also the Moreya which sticks out like a sore thumb from the rest of the terran ships but althrough not quite to my personal liking it still looks like a spaceship and not dissimilar to other ship designs in X4). The Rapier in particular ... like what the hell is that design? Why even have that odd hull shape? You don't need wings in non-atmostspheric spaceflight so all that mass is just useless. And I'm no aeronautical engineer, but those wings don't look like they'd do much good in atmostpheric flight and that giant-ass vertical hull/wing/whatever would in either case serve absolutely no purpose at best and drag down the performance at worst. The rest of the ships look great but those two ... it's like they had to meet a minimum quota of wingspan for ship designs, did the other ships first only to figure out "oh no, we didn't put enough wings on the other ships, quick let's make two giant, convoluted wings, slap an engine, a gun and a cockpit on it so we can meet the quota!". Urgh, so ugly! The rest look great. The Jian in particular looks amazing with that "why don't we take out the heavy storage compartments on the transport ship and just bolt lots of guns to it instead?" aesthetic.

Gotta say, I’m not blown away by any of these designs. Huge inexplicable speed differences, lacking firing arcs, all or nothing shields/weapons balance, the fighters appear to be better scouts than the scouts. Those new weapons look bland and the meson thing seems unuseable. Among the heavy and light fighters there is a clear winner, with the other one being way too slow for its limited shield strength. Slow speed and limited shields is the worst possible combination (see quasar/pulsar) and I don’t understand why Egosoft keeps balancing ships like that. They always perform like ass in fleet battles. It would be nice to see more subtle balancing, instead of just doubling/halving the amount of hardpoints/stats.

[@korratargaryen]

Why are all the frigates so ugly in X4 lol

[@shurik1180]

Idk I must say iam a little disappointed... The cool looking Models are all S-Class Ships... I never ever use them as Player Ship. M-Class are pretty much boring or another Redesign 🙄

[@rejest05]

I'm pumped to see the Katana. Again! I always loved that ship, since X3.

[@QuiXoLP]

3 different weapons is a bit...underwhelming :/
