These are resources for X4 that I use frequently.

For new comers to the game, one thing to always be aware of. This games evolves a lot through the releases. So always consider that what you read can be out of date. So always check the age of the source.

The station calculator and stats page.

Surprising knowledge

Info that to me seems odd when I learned it, but makes sense considering the scope of the game/simulation when you think about it. (obs, possibly out of date in newest game version)

  1. Mines do not have any effect when OOS
  2. Hazardous areas of the sector map does not have any effect when OOS

Hardware / software

I have no affiliation with these companies.

I just want to share info on 'hardware' that I like

My best purchase for gaming, a razer tartarus for the macro and layout of keys that does not make you bend fingers to wasd.

I had the v2 and upgraded to the pro.
So now I use both for X4.

The Stream deck or touch portal for hotkeys which is very important in this game.

Voice attack for spoken commands.
Interesting, I have used it a bit, but it seems a little sluggish for gaming and potentially a resource drain on the computer that could be used otherwise by the game. But nice. Can add to the immersiveness of the game.
