X4: Foundations' Empire update, out now, delivers the space sim's biggest bout of battle balancing yet, plus RTS-style ordering and ship showrooms for showoffs (opens in new tab)

Spaceshipper just underwent an empire-sized overhaul dubbed the empire update, which is fitting for a game that famously lets you form your own angry empirical armada of spacefolk. Among the plans on the agenda for the Xtending of X4 have been a rebalancing of ship combat that devs Eogosoft reckon is their most substantial to date as well as some handy additions like the ability to recycle Kha'ak derelicts and issue priority orders which override all other comms chatter to your troops.
