[@RobHoward83]

My man you did a better job selling the DLC than Egosoft did. I was going to buy it anyway to support the devs but I wasn't plan on really playing it. Now I absolutely will. I want those ships!

[@leetempus8411]

the soapporo reminds me of the earth destroyers from Babylon 5

[@dirkdisselpuff7938]

Pretty brazen of ES to clearly copy/aquire the exact Frameworkof of this iconic B5 Ship. For a small Dev to do this takes some big Balls. I aproove. Be nice and shoot those Xenons.

[@AW-ix5qg]

I was about to comment this. So much yes and I love it!

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

The Sapporo first appeared in X BTF, which was released around a month after Crusade ended, and a year after B5 did. It has two different forms in its appearances. The Sapporos in the cutscenes had no spinning section, but the one in the tutorial that commands the X does. The one in X4 is mostly based on the latter, so it's probably a retrofit of the original 2146 ships.

[@xzaratulx]

Had exact same thought.

[@AbsurdShark]

Thank you for showcasing the ships! They really nailed the designs, i love how most of these look.

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

Canonically, Sapporos can survive reentry and landfall. The Dragonfyre crash-landed on Argon Prime shortly after the Terraformer War, and it survived and was repaired. It was the first flagship of the Argon Federation.

[@overriderss]

The sapporo is the ship from the beggining of X-btf , the Terran capital ship in orbit of Earth,before Kyle starts the jumpdrive

[@BreadsenTM]

Man the Sapporo also immediatly reminded me of the Stiletto from the Game "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident". I don't know why but I just love the rotating part on a ship, even if it does or doesn't make sense.

[@ruorick]

Hope to one day see an update to the elevators and landing pads to match the race and aesthetics. The Argon have a complete monopoly in that regard 🤣

[@cabrelbeuk72]

Odachi really looks like a weaponized Concorde and i love it (the actual real life super sonic commercial plane)

[@pseudonym5872]

Thanks for showing these. I bought the expansion but haven't played it yet. The plane you couldn't remember the name of is the F-117 Nighthawk. The Odachi does look like Star Citizen ships and one in particular - the Hurricane. It's a glass cannon heavy fighter with one big turret and a couple of support weapons. It's one of my favorite ships in SC, so I'm a big fan of the Odachi as well. I agree, the Dart is beautiful. It actually looks like a speedboat that rides up above the water, especially with that nose "wing". The F does kind of look like the Yaki Moreya. Both are among my favorites. The Experimental Shuttle is vying with the Odachi for my favorite ship of the expansion. I've wanted one ever since I saw it in the promotional videos. I think the Sport ships are stupid. They should have come up with more new or throwback ships with original hulls instead. Oh well...

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Thanks for the info!

[@jamdonut]

nice one rugged, i'm not playing atm coz busy and don't mind the spoilers so glad you've thrown it together for us

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Yeah I got home from work.... 2 hours ago... Thats how quickly I threw it together haha

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

X3 had Cutlasses too. They were pretty too.

[@ethanforster]

The Elite Sport has insane turning

[@boreasreal5911]

I think the new boosting sound is exclusive to the Frontier engines, which are fitted to the Xperimental Shuttle, Cutlass, Odachi and Sapporo. They all come with the Frontier equipment, including engines, shields and weapons.

[@alexanderbaumann9466]

I don't know why you get more views man. You make some good content.

[@sarahnachtrose]

0:20 - Ui ui, the original Xenon ship from the first part from 1999 (prettied up) I missed that design in X4. The current Xenon no longer look like a machine race but like flying woodlice. 3:22 - The ship reminds me a lot of the Terran battleships from the Babylon 5 series, with their rotating section. They were always an eye-catcher when they appeared in the series. 15:31 - Yay yippee, I've missed that ship. And how I hated it back then. Flying around in it for hours. Building my own empire, commanding all kinds of ships but always with the same ship I in. Until the DLC where you could fly everything. But not this nutshell anymore.

[@GeneticResearch]

I shared your video in the steam forums to inform people there because it was frequently asked and because there are going a lot of lies around to harm the developer and prevent players to buy the dlc whats actually work.

[@jimrford]

Brought the DLC, today, but still playing ES-2. Looking forward to doing some timelines+not even played the Boron DLC yet ..

[@bacchuslg8027]

Nice Video! Once I unlocked them through the scenarios, how do I actually get them in my game? Just search for them in the mentioned system with a scout or is there a faster way?

[@Brokenfang77]

This is what I'm confused about also, can you make a video once the vehicles are unlocked in the timelines scenario how do you acquire them in the sandbox universe from a fresh start and it would be an opportunity to make a good video

[@cena803]

The old ships have nuclear engines I believe is maybe the lore reason why they sound different, since they predate when every race switched to the energy cell based engines they use now. Since nuclear was deemed unsafe if I recall correctly, been a bit since I've delved through the lore.

[@caseyhall5297]

I finished the first graph and unlocked the xenon H. I found it in tharkas cascade 15 but I cannot board it. It’s just sitting there and I can’t find the scan part to take control and enter the ship

[@justbobsmith]

Do you get blueprints for these or just one per universe like the Erlking? Or rephrase, do you automatically get the blueprint for finding then or have to do something extra?

[@TheRuggedGamer]

I believe you get the blueprint for the new ships when you aquire them (or the research unlock)

[@justbobsmith]

​@TheRuggedGamer Thanks. Trying to decide if I want to buy it or not. I totally have no interest in the missions but would like the ships. They look pretty good. I just wish by handing them 20$ They would just give me the ships. This missions look stupid from my perspective.

[@timothypricesr5953]

No blue prints that I have seen they are like the Astrid etc

[@patricks9401]

B1 stealth bomber, its the wing ends / edges, I have to say some of the nicest ships in X4

[@MurderousNoise]

progressing further through timelines in sandbox I found Quettanauts faction witch open base modules as standing rewards, same their HQ built with. I got rating 10 after timellines quest and they gave me base connections blueprints, so I tried custom start, made standings 30+ and got nothing. does anyone got rating 20+ with them through missions, I wander what modules it gives?

[@domicplus2255]

THX

[@lu756]

once you unlock them by completing the scenario, do you unlock them in a current save file, or do you have to start a new game?

[@boreasreal5911]

you unlock them in all current and future save files

[@greymane98]

It is a shame Egosoft just didn't come out with this info directly. Everything I've seen on the DLC I really dislike...and I buy all Egosoft DLCs. This was first I decided to skip. The ships will make it worth it, but that will be only selling point to me. Thank you for sharing this info since they wouldn't.

[@TheRuggedGamer]

They have! - Its on the steam page as a spoiler =)

[@AW-ix5qg]

Do you get Blueprints for the ships too or are they one of a kind?

[@IsegrimSTP]

You get the Blueprints for most of them.

[@jh5kl]

i thought you were also going to show the new sectors, the new faction, the new spacestation modules and points of interest that come in this dlc

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Just the ships for this one, sectors I have a video ready to edit

[@CreatorOfWorlds]

I see the Stiletto…. No doubt it is nice. However since the entire ship has ‘gravity’ the spinning section seems kind of irrelevant(function wise).

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Its still cool xD

[@obyone878]

Usually the spinning creates a gravitational pull towards the center of the ship or create a gravity bubble, so it's artificial gravity throughout.

[@danceswithsheep3058]

Well, Sapporo ship calls for Sapporo beer..what are the drunk piloting rules in the X universe?

[@TheRuggedGamer]

I cant support missuse of alcohol. But ill drink to that.

[@Pedro_Kantor]

So...when you unlock the ships are they just derelict in certain systems in the main game?

[@gundampilotjack3680]

Sounds like it but there are also bp

[@bozzb.1451]

This is only ships, will you make a video about the sectors and the free ship locations ? Thank you

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Yes, I mentioned 4 of the 7 sectors in this vid

[@middle-aged-gamer]

what about non-flyable ships? I could have sworn I saw reference to the gigantic cylindrical Xenon ship that VRO used as the model for their "U".

[@TheRuggedGamer]

You mean that may be added to the game as an opposition?

[@middle-aged-gamer]

@@TheRuggedGamer Yeah. Your video shows everything that you can unlock, but are there new ships in the DLC that aren't unlocked but still part of the game? BTW this video has pretty much convinced me to buy the expansion and one day continue my series. Was going to hold off since I'm really in it for the traditional X playthroughs.

[@Venomaus_]

Could you make a video covering the new faction introduced and the barter economy it uses?

[@TheRuggedGamer]

I sure can!

[@sigridbrockenhuus]

Yeah...I am adding primary weapons.

[@user-ip6wq7vr7m]

What would be even cooler is completing a scenario with 5 stars and still finding special ships still to unlock...not too many, maybe 2 or 3 more hidden behind a full completion of a scenario, just a idea :D .

[@TheRuggedGamer]

All the unlocks are behind 1 star completions. There are some that unlock in an epilogue in your open universe once youve completed timelines

[@mathdarven5634]

Nope. Paint jobs though, why not. Let everyone be able to unlock the ships they bought with the DLC without having to become extremely skilled at the game, but I'm down for skins. It's been years since I had to unlock my drip by being good rather than pulling out the credit card.

[@TheRuggedGamer]

@@mathdarven5634 you literally need 1 star, and its not hard to get it to be fair

[@mathdarven5634]

@@TheRuggedGamer Yes, 1 star is absolutely fine. I was more reacting to the possibility to have unlockable ships at 5 stars.

[@mathdarven5634]

Pretty sure you already knew it or someone already told you, but the X-Perimental shuttle is a reproduction of the player's ship in the first game (you could only fly one and specifically this one).

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Nope, Thats news to me! I didnt catch the early games

[@mathdarven5634]

@@TheRuggedGamer I'm not saying you should play them, but I started X Beyond the Frontier recently and for a game almost as old as me, it still holds up quite well. Sure, it feels old compared to X4, but it's still both playable and enjoyable.

[@TheRuggedGamer]

@mathdarven5634 ive seen a lot of the community, players and content creators both, still play the older ones

[@-drey]

when you say they drop at x system, what do you mean ?

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Youll find them in them systems (I believe)

[@GlitchedVision]

I want more than one Odachi lol

[@TheRuggedGamer]

You get the blueprint

[@egoaut]

​@@TheRuggedGamer, what i know is, that you only see the blueprint, when you lose your reward ship. Like with Erlking.....proof me wrong? Btw i had other paintmods on my reward ships.

[@ArkhBaegor]

The big question I have is: Do these ships unlock for AI factions too? If only I can use them, I don't really care, frankly

[@TitanTales]

As far as I know Player only

[@lordlorian81]

Well … if all you get is few models Then its not making me return to the game The game needs to improve other stuff Landed interaction Ship combat so you don need to mico manage every ship for doing stupid suicide actions Operation menu so you see massages from global view Those things kill the game play If you micro all fights You cant expirience the movie when your ships fight as observer Also I think teleport system needs to change Like build teleport on stations as addon and on big ships So you can teleport but you need to do action to do it And plenty more little things Ships is nice But game play needs fixing Its a good game with alot of potential to improve But … B5 ship is a good add to the game I do like it But it changes nothing Also the casual questing system … It needs to be more … logical They created platform for first person stuff But its empty of content One shop Everywhere One office everywhere Station building Is nice But it misses the puzzle approach from x3 When you have to think Where to place stuff so it can connect Exploration system You start new game and send chipest ships to explore for you The approach is wrong You lose the feeling of exploration Instead they needed to force you go Explore sectore May be drone explore from your ship Mark stuff findings on map Then move on Yes i agree som automation needed But it has to be you Else … the huge world they built is …as is you have no connection to it Trade I found easy way to make millions early game No cheating Exploit of vanilla mechanic But its a space !!! Finding new trade rotes is part of the game Go to station do some talking Buy/sell info Invest Use Also Sending suport to traders … not cast effective They cast much more then the trader does And almost never protect the ship There has to be some logic on protection automation Protectors go to fight Transport escape But inserted you gat Protectors go die And transport makes a travel into suicide If you have a big ship in area Transport first priority when attacked has to be fly for protection Or if there is gate nearby fly thru gate I would of a knowladged if it dependent on Quality of ship commander Level of stupidity But it does not In x3 it was better Lots was worse But those aspects were better

new faction?

[@TheRuggedGamer]

Ive not showcased them yet

[@Psykeeper993]

Incredible. Instead of implementing them as regular ships (perhaps limiting access to them like high price, alliance with a faction, reputation...whatever) and enriching the game, they've released boring ass DLC which places one model per ship somewhere in the universe...i didn't know it was possible to fail at every step, but egosoft has done it

[@gfsagagfg7769]

Dislike for not telling where the fu is the ships except Otachi. said it was in getsufune and was there. Very rare video which make me angry.....
