自 X4：人类的摇篮 和 《X4：基石》的4.00 大版本更新 后，我们并未懈怠，还在加紧制作下一阶段的游戏内容。现在我们很高兴地通知大家，4.10 版本更新 发布了。

这次的《X4：基石》4.10版本更新比原本的计划做得 更丰富一些，所以也耗费了更多的时间。 但我们坚信，只要玩家能够喜欢这次引入的大量改进，额外的付出就是值得的。 4.10版本更新我们做了很多改进，例如有：优化了 地形改造 的一些功能，作为对4.00更新反馈的回应，我们也修复了与 采矿，贸易和空间站管理相关的一些问题，等等其他一些东西。我们还对图形引擎方面做了一些优化，使之能 更好调用显存。 当你 建造空间站时会注意到这些改进，尤其是在易用性方面 (了解更多请点击此视频 Inside Egosoft Podcast Episode 4)。

自定义游戏开局
全新的自定义开局功能将允许玩家 根据喜好自拟一个开局条件 ，出于游戏平衡考虑，条件会被限定在一定范围。例如，有可能影响可用的起始资本、已完成探索的星区，以及与其他派系的关系等因素。Episode 2 of the Inside Egosoft Podcast 有更多的谈及自定义游戏开局细节的内容。

我们很期待听到你对4.10版本更新的想法。我们很希望你能享受探索全新可能的过程，特别是尝试自定义游戏开局。重新发现《X4：基础》，改变起始条件，绝对是你应该体验的事情。

感谢大家长久以来的不离不弃！祝出入平安！

Thank you in advance for your contributions to the beta test.

As previously announced, we have now finished selling the X3: Farnham's Legacy Donation Pack. The donation pack gave you the opportunity to express your gratitude to our team of highly motivated community members, who spent the last five years or so working on X3: Farnham's Legacy. The game was released in May 2021, and we have received lots of great feedback from you - thank you for that!

Just to give you an idea of what you have achieved with the donation pack, we can tell you that we've rounded up the total donation sum to 5,000 euros for Médecins sans frontières / Doctors Without Borders. We've also decided to donate an additional 5,000 euros, not taken from the donation pack, to "Aachen hilft", which is a regional campaign to help those affected by the recent flood disaster here in Germany. We thank you for your support, and we are pleased that we were able to pass on a nice sum of money to some good causes.

X3: Farnham's Legacy itself will, of course, remain available, both in its original Windows version and also now as a native Linux version. We are happy to see every download, and hope you have a lot of fun during your time in the extended X3 universe, whether you are new to the series or a veteran X gamer!

gamescom is once again taking place in digital form only. Of course, that won't stop us from celebrating our games. In addition to our participation in this year's Indie Arena Booth, we're excited to offer you our biggest discount ever on X4: Foundations. For the next 7 days, you have the opportunity to save 50% on your purchase of X4: Foundations! Older titles in the X series are reduced in price by even more - up to 90% this week.

So, if you haven't jumped into X4: Foundations yet, now is a great time to do so. You’ll also be able to look forward to the upcoming 4.10 update, in which we are adding yet more enhancements and new features to the game.

The full list of changes in 4.10 Beta 6 is available in our forum.

Multiverse Team Seasons postponed
We would also like to inform you of a change of plan regarding the release of the new "Multiverse Team Seasons" game mode. We need a little more time to make Multiverse Team Seasons into the captivating new feature we originally envisioned it to be. In order not to delay the release of the 4.10 update, including the new Custom Game Start feature and the extended Station Editor, we have therefore decided to postpone the introduction of the Multiverse Team Seasons feature. This feature will not now be part of the 4.10 update, as previously announced, and will instead be introduced in a later update for X4: Foundations.

If you would like to know more about the Multiverse Team Seasons, we recommend Episode 1 of the Inside Egosoft Podcast, in which Egosoft's founder and Managing Director Bernd Lehahn describes the new feature.

The team continues to work diligently on the next big update for X4: Foundations. Today we have released the fifth version of the 4.10 Beta. This is a special update because Beta 5 contains the new Custom Game Start feature for the first time.

The full list of changes in 4.10 Beta 5 is available in our forum.

The new Custom Game Start feature allows players of X4: Foundations to customise certain starting conditions in the game, within limits that are set in order to maintain game balance. It is possible, for example, to influence factors such as available starting capital, sectors already explored, and relationships with other factions. Episode 2 of the Inside Egosoft Podcast includes more details about the Custom Game Start feature.

The 4.10 Beta 5 allows you to try out this new feature for the first time. We hope you enjoy it and we are looking forward to your feedback!

You should definitely take a look at the station editor in Beta 5, because there have also been a few changes here that significantly improve the station design process. This topic was also discussed in a recent podcast episode (YouTube version).
