X4: Foundations

**X4: Foundations - Explore the Vastness of Space in a Living Universe** *X4: Foundations* is an expansive space sandbox simulator where you survive and thrive in your own gaming system. Engage in trade, mining, and production with thousands of warships and stations, all realistically simulated. In this universe, evolve from a lone pilot flying combat ships to managing a colossal empire, commanding fleets, and designing massive space stations. Seamlessly transition from first-person action boarding their warships to vast strategic and management simulations. Choose your path at your own pace. The power is in your hands. Trade - Fight - Build - Think. **Embark on Your Journey:** In the *X4* series, start your journey from various game starting points and roles, each with its own character, a set of relationships, and different ships and technologies. However, regardless of how you start, you can always freely develop in any other direction. Focus on exploration, earn money through illegal trade and theft, command large fleets of warships, or become the greatest entrepreneur. It's all up to you. **Pilot Every Ship:** *X4* allows you to personally pilot every ship. From small scout vessels to a variety of ships and even the largest aircraft carriers, control everything from the cockpit or an external view. One of the key focuses of *X4* is achieving a seamless and immersive experience when moving between ships. You can leave one ship, climb up a ladder, traverse the decks of a massive space station, enter another ship parked nearby, and replace the pilot working for you—all with a simple click. **Build Space Stations and Upgrade Ships:** Constructing space stations and factories is a cornerstone of the *X4* series. After accumulating enough money through flying and trading, most players want to establish their own economy, influencing the entire universe. In *X4*, complete freedom and creativity become possible. Space stations consist of various modules, such as production units, living quarters, decks, and more. The powerful map system allows you to drag, connect modules, and unleash your unique creativity. Ships also offer various upgrades, where engines, weapons, and other equipment can be added and displayed in a graphical editor. **Experience the Most Lively X Universe Ever:** *X4* will be the first X game that allows races and factions to freely build and expand their empires. They will have the same flexibility as players, creatively designing space stations with modular building blocks. Each race will expand its empire based on its own supply and demand, creating an extremely dynamic universe where every action has a widespread impact. **Manage Your Empire with a Powerful Map:** Once you have more ships and NPCs working as pilots, crew, and space station administrators, the map becomes your preferred method of managing everything. Ships can be set future paths and commands with simple clicks and drag-and-drop operations. Graphically plan your trade routes, coordinate attacks with your entire fleet, manage deployments, or dispatch ships for remote exploration missions. **The Most Detailed X Economy System Ever:** One of the most crucial selling points of X games is the realistic economy. Goods are produced by hundreds of space stations, transported by thousands of ships, and traded by NPCs, with prices changing based on simulated economic development. This is the foundation of the universe we rely on. Now, in *X4*, we have taken a giant step forward. In this game, every part of the NPC economy is produced using resource production. Ships, weapons, upgrade components, ammunition, and even space stations—everything you can think of—all come from the simulated economic system. **Research and Mind Transfer:** The seamless switch from ship to ship and from NPC control of the empire to a higher level has been elevated. When you have a large fleet, you will be interested in researching a technology at your HQ: Mind Transfer. After unlocking Mind Transfer, you can quickly jump from one ship to another, addressing emergencies faced by your NPCs in real-time. When you personally pilot a ship, the commands you previously gave it will turn into mission objectives. When you leave, the pilot takes over the controls and continues with the previous commands. *Join the universe of X4: Foundations, where the cosmos is your playground, and every decision shapes the destiny of the galaxy.*
