Description
X4: Tides of Avarice, the third expansion for X4: Foundations, invites you on new exploration adventures.

Meet new factions and experience their stories
Encountering and interacting with previously unknown, lawless pirate and scavenger factions, will challenge your perception of social order and justice in the X universe. In new sectors and dangerous regions, you will not only discover new ships and stations, but also encounter stellar phenomena that will significantly influence your plans and actions. What is it all about, and who are the mysterious manipulators that have learned to master a rare and vital resource? Your journey will lead you towards the answers. Set out and discover a new chapter of X4: Foundations.



Let new ships terrify and enchant you at the same time
Roam through the Windfall and Avarice systems, and discover numerous new ships from the pirate and scavenger factions of X4: Tides of Avarice. Among other new ships, you can look forward to the following highlights:

  • The Erlking, a terrifying pirate battleship with an experimental and unusual energy source, has been developed over many years by the Riptide Rakers, at great cost to their resources and lives, in a desperate attempt to take advantage of stellar phenomena in the Avarice system. In X4: Tides of Avarice, you will find out more about these curious events, while you upgrade the Erlking using research and resources acquired during your adventure.

  • The Astrid, an incredibly lavish and luxurious yacht, projects wealth and importance. Owned by the CEO of the Northriver Company, Brantlee Northriver, it is rumoured to be the fastest ship in the galaxy. With its sleek design, the Astrid is a ship unlike anything you've ever come across in the X universe. What mysteries might it hold?



Salvage shipwrecks to recycle resources
Have you ever come across a shipwreck and wished you could use it in a profitable way? In the Avarice system, the Riptide Rakers, a loosely organised group of scavengers and traders, have developed the means to salvage wrecks and use them in production. Either tow the wreck with one of the new tug ships, or dismantle the wreck right where you found it using a new deconstruction ship. Once you've reached a station equipped with a recycling module, watch your scrap metal turn into building resources.

X4: Foundations 5.00 Update
X4: Tides of Avarice is released at the same time as the extensive, free 5.00 update for X4: Foundations, which expands and improves the base game in several ways. The 5.00 update introduces a series of new capital ships. These ships have been re-imagined, and a new fleet of improved models will now be on sale in various shipyards. Several factions in the game will gradually start using these new and improved ships. The 5.00 update will also bring AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) to X4: Foundations, using a collection of cutting-edge upscaling technologies to boost performance.

need more characters

The... (counting) third expansion falls more on the quality vs. quantity side of things. You only get four new systems, but they are unlike anything else in the game; 10 new ships with a radically different aesthetic (including the Manticore tug, which finally lets you "come to grips" with space-garbage; yay!); a new plot line involving gambling, pirates, scavengers and spooky space phenomena; new player starts that I can't comment on (I'm still playing the same game I started when Foundations came out); and -- the free, mandatory 5.0 patch. Which is where the need for "more characters" comes in (because this review is capped at 2000 and just the list of improvements is 5385 characters long; that's on top of bug fixes). Between the two, you get the sleeker "E" series of Paranid capital ships, economy and game-play refinements, new mission types, bug fixes, and more surprisingly wry dialogue from my favorite Boron scientist of all time. For existing players -- the only downside I've spotted so far is the load times are slightly longer. And if you've been on the fence about getting into X4 -- the game's now in the best shape it's ever been in.

Pirates and junkers.

I liked this DLC, it adds 2 factions, a pirate and a scrapper, they add new modules for stations, such as processing the remains of ships to obtain resources. I wish it had a plot.
