Boron Beginnings - X4 E1

Welcome to Episode One of our Boron playthrough! We ran a poll to see which race we would be starting a playthrough of X4 as last week, and the results are in. Boron wins the playthrough. We established parameters for the run. This will be a mod-free run. Since this is a sandbox game, we also set up win/lose conditions. Win condition is everyone on the map either full allies (+30 rep) or dead (no Xenon, no Kha'ak). Lose conditions are if we reach a point where there is no reasonable way for us to continue. Losing all ships and/or stations and no having the funds to replace. No save scumming due to a lost battle or quest. This largely started out the same as the "A Solid Start for Beginners" video, with a touch of variation due to starting location (including getting and setting up the PHQ). ---------------------------- Useful Links: Map Tool: https://roguey.co.uk/x4/universe/ Station Calculator: http://www.x4-game.com/#/station-calculator X4 Help Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxlYSZ8sTrM&list=PLz5CFZmtiGwHnnIX7fxDvmiaTQ1biBf-K X4 Boron Playthrough Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz5CFZmtiGwFjbF0ZYQuTA8kSpPXX27Cw ---------------------------- To join our Discord, visit: https://discord.gg/YAUhCzeabr ---------------------------- Rig: Processor: Intel I9-14900KF 3.20 GHz RAM: 64GB Graphics: GeForce 4090 24GB OS: 2TB SSD Storage: 6TB HDD Liquid Cooling ---------------------------- 0:00 Intro 2:07 Start of Run 2:52 Game Rule Setups 6:07 Storyline Start 12:18 Gameplay Start 16:51 PHQ Unlock and Setup 21:01 The Belt and Hatikvah 21:43 Free Perseus Vanguard 25:15 Buying the Pegasus Vanguard 26:10 Cleaning Up Hatikvah Mission 28:01 The Odysseus Vanguard Boondoggle 35:41 Recap 36:36 PHQ and Research Funding 37:05 Outro
