I did the same (mimicked Elite in X4), except using my PS4 controller. I can easily swap between X4 and Elite and feel like I'm playing the same game, flight-wise. The exception is there are no pips in X4, which frees up controls for my lateral thrusters. The other difference is that small ships are very squirrelly in X4, almost arcade-like, which I don't like, but switching to FA-off fixes this "problem", making even ships feel substantial.

I'm looking forward to winter so I can start playing this again, LOL.
Question - can save files be edited to change the aggressiveness of various factions, or is that tied specifically to a procgen seed and determined in the game code rather than an XML value? I have a good save going, but my random roll of the galaxy is a bit boring at the moment.

That is a question you may have more luck with at the Egosoft forum.
No, mainly because it overwrites the traditional game, which I'm far from finishing.
As for mods, there are some great mods that improve the game without fundamentally changing it. Unfortunately I don't know any that fix things like pathing (AI ships and autopilots flying into things), which is a real bummer. I do wish Egosoft would focus on fixing this rather than wasting time on a multiplayer feature that many of us never asked for. Oh well, every company has its faults I guess..
I was impressed by this thread on economy building for shipyards. This is one of many things I have not done in X4. I've built stations but no more than three in one of my game saves and they were more focused on raw materials and food products to feed the people and make them happy. I was too busy flying around enjoying the scenery to get tied up in empire building, shipyards and micro management.

Terran is easier to manage. I didn't enjoy the universal tree very much. I was always forgetting one thing. When you set up a wharf and want to throw in a huge station that does everything. It works. It looks impressive, majestic even. You put all cat in one bad though. Either enemy influence can hurt it. Or your own: You rework the base, add modules and that and the huge colossus stops working for the time of the construction.I was impressed by this thread on economy building for shipyards.

Keep that in mind. A distributed approach looks like nightmar on your tables but is very resilient and easily scalable.
There will be another expansion and upgrade next year:

Sounds enigmatic. I have a hunch that anything Egosoft been doing was trying to present new ways to play the game to (old) players. This sounds like a bit like Farnham's legend (which I haven't played) - an excursion outside the sandbox.
Which one?
Bernd ? If so, good job. He seems to be a nice fellow.
Have a great day ... lucky person
Bernd is a legend. He's been driving the franchise for almost a quarter century now.
see me in there ^ ... standing up behind my awesome pilot
Its very cool to sit in your Katana corvette class ship, while its docked on a carrier class Raptor with other ships of your fleet standing by in the distance. I can walk from the bridge of my current ship to the Raptor and chose another ship to fly. The interaction and immersion in X4 is very basic but quite adequate to feel like you are there. Fleet management and empire building gets most the kudos, but the simple things in this game are wonderful.
Have a nice day
