Another guide? Amazing. Although I have hundreds of hours in the game, I still love your guides. Thank you.

Thanks for making these guides, using them for a 7.0 first playthrough

Just bought the GoG Community Collector package, diving in and overwhelmed, my kind of game. 🙂

Great beginner intro/guide! I want to add that when looking for mission/commission signals on stations, the signal bars will appear below the ship's speed when you near one. I use that to find the signal.

Even for a "seasoned" player like me (200h "only" so far tho) this kind of guide is always super useful. So many ways of doing the same thing, so many things that can be missed, it's always super nice to have this to remember all the basics and how to start well ! Thks a lot @TheRuggedGamer !!!

[Miraak]

Thanks for this excellent introduction ! It certainly simplifies things.

Useful video, I just started playing yesterday and there’s a lot to learn. Minor correction - traders corner isn’t where you buy ships, it’s where you buy/sell personal items like spacesuit equipment, seminars, crafting items etc.

our telling me I can have a combat fleet and a capital ship im sold I will be the best pirate I can be lo. Saw this was on sale on steam and figured id check it out first this guide is pretty good and gave a good idea what I can and cant do thanks and keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for this guide. I'm brand new and exactly what you said is true. The tutorial left me more confused than when I started it and then did the same sandbox start you did here and did nothing but fly around and get lost in space for about three hours. The only thing I found was the H menu about 2.5 hours in and finally found something to actually do. That is a very very bad experience for new players... I would have thought that a game that is nearly 6 years old would have a better new player experience.

Already got about 200 hrs decided to start over to see alt starts love this game

[sakinu]

Just want to leave a comment and say thanks!

[KerboOnYT]

Thanks for the guide. It was clear and helpful

[Crimsonraziel]

the trailer for X4 7.0 brought me here. kinda ironic

[derekdrake]

I bought this game years ago but never got into it because it didn't have complete controller support. I take another look at it a few days ago and find out it does support controllers now, so I decide to give it a try.

I go through the tutorials, which are still bugged btw, and when I finally get into the game proper... I have absolutely no idea what to do lol.

[Motobro]

Do plan on making videos on how fleets work what equipment to use or what ships or good at doing what ect. as a new player I found there are a lot of ships

[LeeAndrewVideos]

Awesome, bought the game 2 weeks ago and had a terrible experience. Wish I had seen these videos before!

[jamesgooper]

The tutorials are the reason I'm hear lol

[timothyporr]

Great guide, but I'm a little unclear which to start with. I bought the Community of Planets edition so I have all the DLC. So, should I start with the Terran Cadet then, rather than the Young Cadet???

[patrykoszast]

Is there a way to disable the double tap W to are 3, move forward, run forward and run. only move forward works. the other two dont do anything, Ive tried to input my own keys into them but they dont function in the game. only move forward works and constantly on this awful double tap to run. Any noticed this?

[RolandDobbins]

Is it possible to bind the relevant controls to a gamepad?
