Designing Diplomacy - X4 E2

Welcome back for Episode Two of our Boron playthrough of X4! Today we attained neutral reputation with all currently possible factions, set up some passive rep gain for the future and got a little bit of station tinkering done. We're well prepared to start running some missions while our reputation and money go up passively! This was recorded in a total of 4 gaming sessions, so if it jumps around a bit or repeats some, please forgive me! Rep grinding is rough when you have limited play time. ---------------------------- Useful Links: Map Tool: https://roguey.co.uk/x4/universe/ Station Calculator: http://www.x4-game.com/#/station-calculator X4 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 0:40 Miner Purchasing 2:50 Planning Reputation Approach 4:50 Grinding Split (ZYA) 9:20 Building Additional Scout 11:00 Exploration 12:50 Seeding Satellites 13:33 Finishing Split (ZYA) 14:35 Trading 16:45 Strategic Naming of Ships 18:30 Discovery of Update! 20:18 Headed for the Terrans 21:53 Finishing Terran Rep 22:46 Mining Location Debate 24:00 Idea for a Sub-Goal 25:30 Asking Your Opinions 27:02 Manual Rep Grind Finished 28:00 Research Plans 29:10 Miner Distribution 30:00 Factions and Desired Components 31:32 Buying Blueprints 32:11 Station Building on the PHQ 33:09 Passive Station Trading Plan 33:49 Recap 35:12 Outro
