X4: Foundations Wiki

 Welcome to the, the premier source for all things X4: Foundations that anyone can edit! articles since December 2018.

X4: Foundations is a Sci-Fi economic space simulation created an updated by the German company Egosoft. The game centers around a large and dynamic system of sectors, most of which are occupied and owned by one of a number of factions, each having there own goals and ambitions. It is up to the player to either align themselves or harass these other factions in order to advance themselves. The game plays strongly on the gimmick of "start with nothing and build up," where most of the in game starting scenarios give the player very minimal, usually a small or medium ship at best, and set the player out on the grand goal of forging their own fortune in the vast and violent arena that is space. The X series, by nature, is a sandbox, allowing the player the freedom to interact the world in almost anyway an AI would be able to, this includes transporting goods, piracy, and even picking sides in wars.
