financial budget would intuitively increase the player's starting balance, however, it becomes quickly apparent that that is not the case. This is evidenced by the restriction of the player's starting balance to 10,000,000Cr which leaves a massive 123,890,000Cr left over when the maximum budget has been reached. Instead the overwhelming majority of the monetary budget is consumed by inventory items (limited to a select range that excludes paintmods, and technology modification components), ships and starting stations. Prices of stations and ships are taken to be that of the average cost and the player cannot select the Syn or the Asgard for their starting ship or other property. Finally, having any pre-built stations will require funds for the blueprint cost on top of the cost of the station's built components. 301 + 302 + 303 +== Knowledge Budget Factors == 304 + 305 +(% class="wrapped" %) 290 290 |=((( 291 291 Variable 292 292 )))|=((( ... ... @@ -303,13 +303,15 @@ 303 303 base_budget 304 304 )))|((( 305 305 Base budget 306 -)))|((( 322 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 323 +((( 307 307 (% style="text-align: right;" %) 308 -5 \\309 -)))|(% style="text-align: ;" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %)325 +5,000 326 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 310 310 ((( 311 -5 000 312 -)))|((( 328 +5,000 329 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 330 +((( 313 313 (% style="text-align: right;" %) 314 314 1 315 315 ))) ... ... @@ -316,25 +316,29 @@ 316 316 |((( 317 317 known_lockbox_normal 318 318 )))|((( 319 -Opened a normal [[lockbox>>doc:Lockboxes and Data Vaults]] 320 -)))|((( 321 -500 322 -)))|((( 323 -30 000 324 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 337 +Opened a normal [[lockbox>>doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Tips and Walkthroughs (Spoiler).Lockboxes and Data Vaults.WebHome||style="outline-width: 0px !important; user-select: auto !important;"]] (1 lock) 338 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 325 325 ((( 326 -60 340 +100 341 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 342 +((( 343 +10,000 344 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 345 +((( 346 +100 327 327 ))) 328 328 |((( 329 329 known_lockbox_rare 330 330 )))|((( 331 -Opened a rare lockbox 332 -)))|((( 351 +Opened a rare lockbox (4 or more locks) 352 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 353 +((( 333 333 500 334 -)))|((( 335 -30 000 336 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 355 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 337 337 ((( 357 +30,000 358 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 359 +((( 338 338 60 339 339 ))) 340 340 |((( ... ... @@ -341,12 +341,14 @@ 341 341 known_aqueduct 342 342 )))|((( 343 343 Target an aqueduct 344 -)))|((( 345 -2 000 346 -)))|((( 347 -2 000 348 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 366 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 349 349 ((( 368 +2,000 369 +)))|(% style="text-align:right" %)(% style="text-align: right;" %) 370 +((( 371 +2,000 372 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 373 +((( 350 350 1 351 351 ))) 352 352 |(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) ... ... @@ -354,14 +354,14 @@ 354 354 known_khaak_hive 355 355 )))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 356 356 ((( 357 -Target a [[Kha'ak>>doc:Kha'ak]] Hive 358 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 381 +Target a [[Kha'ak>>doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Kha'ak.WebHome]] Hive 382 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 359 359 ((( 360 -3 361 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 384 +3,000 385 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 362 362 ((( 363 -3 364 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 387 +3,000 388 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 365 365 ((( 366 366 1 367 367 ))) ... ... @@ -371,17 +371,15 @@ 371 371 )))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 372 372 ((( 373 373 Enter a new sector 374 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 398 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 375 375 ((( 376 376 200 377 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 401 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 378 378 ((( 379 -(% class="qv3Wpe" %) 39000380 -)))|(% colspan="1" %)(% colspan="1" %) 403 +(% class="qv3Wpe" %)26,000 404 +)))|(% colspan="1" style="text-align:right" %)(% colspan="1" style="text-align: right;" %) 381 381 ((( 382 -195 383 -

Relations Costs == 911 + 912 +Relations points exclusively affect relations with factions and can only be used to manipulate how the player interacts with the amicable [[factions>>doc:X4 Foundations

The default relations in the editor is identical to the 'Young gun' starting scenario with most factions preset and a value of 0 with the exception of the [[doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Free Families.WebHome]], [[doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Fallen Families.WebHome]], [[doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Terran Protectorate.WebHome]], [[doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Yaki.WebHome]] and [[doc:X4 Foundations Wiki.Manual and Guides.Objects in the Game Universe.Factions.Zyarth Patriarchy.WebHome]] which are set at -5, -5, -15, -25 and -15 respectively. 913 + 914 +Changing relations comes at a cost of 1 point per reputation level between 1 and 10 (raising negative reputation levels up to 0 currently incurs no cost). Between 11 and 20 inclusive raising reputation by 1 level costs 10 points. Between 21 and 26 inclusive costs 100 points per level, the jump between 26 and 27 costs 300 points and for every level over 27 it costs 200 points. The total cost of maximising a factions reputation is hence 1,610 points and is impossible to do. 915 + 916 + 917 +== References == 918 + 919 +* {{{libraries/gamestarts.xml}}}
