Hey what's going on guys!?

I’ve been working on a new mod CodeName "Pirate ARGG!", aimed specifically at making pirate-focused playthroughs more fun and giving you more ways to actually play like a pirate.

Current features in development:

• Improved Bailouts - Reworked bailout logic to make piracy and capturing ships more rewarding. I’m still deciding whether to make the values adjustable or stick with a balanced preset.
• Autonomous Pirating - Assign ships to pirate within a sector on their own, then have them bring their stolen loot back to a station of your choice.
• Ship Pirating - Order your ships to specifically antagonize and pressure another ship with one goal in mind: take the ship, not destroy it.

There’s still a lot I want to add, so I’d love some input from people who enjoy pirate playthroughs.

What piracy features or QoL improvements have you always wanted to see in X4?

Throw your ideas at me! and if you want to follow the development, or post your ideas/requests in a better forum (and easier to track for me :) ) you can join the discord! Dragon's Lair

SideNote:
I am still working on my SES Mod as well (posting a new version soon with bug fixes) but having some issues with getting L/XL ships to drop their loadout in a way I like, took a small break to start working on this mod 👍

I've seen some of the newer players struggle with station building, so I made a beginner-friendly guide that walks through the basics of planning, building, production, and a few tips that helped me along the way.

If anyone has feedback or thinks I missed something, I'd really appreciate it. Always looking to improve my tutorials.

Hey everyone!

I apologize for getting this out later than I originally planned, but my Ship Equipment Salvaging mod is finally available.

The mod lets you leave your ship in your spacesuit, salvage working equipment from eligible ships, store the exact parts you recover, and weld them onto your own S and M ships. There is also a black-market network where salvaged equipment can be bought and sold.

This is my first real attempt at creating and releasing an X4 mod, so I’m sure there will be things that need adjusting. I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions from anyone who gives it a try.

Thanks to everyone who showed interest while I was working on it, and again, I’m sorry for the late release!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in this community.

A little while ago I shared one of my videos here because I thought some of you might enjoy it. I honestly expected it to dissappear in the noise, but took the shot anyway 😆

Instead you all completely blew me away!

That one post introduced me to so many new people and pushed me past MULTUPLE milestone I genuinely never thought I'd reach.

But I digress, and just end it by saying, genuinely and honestly, thank you.

May you profit always!

I was looking around for a fast ship to run around doing satellite deployment and resource probing, and found out the TER 3 travel engines on a Irukandji is INSANE (Empire beta update)

10k travel and 1K travel acceleration and NO charge time is LUDACRIS!

Let me know if you have found anything better then that! I can't find anything better then that atm!
