Starting Scenarios

Version 41.1 by Daniel Turner on 2022/05/17 15:53

Updated for version 4.20, TODO: Finish equipment sections of tables

In X4 Foundations there are different starting scenarios (or game starts) to choose from. These not only influence your name, gender, race or starting equipment but also your initial standing with the different Factions of the game. In some instances the starting scenario also determines initial missions (later game missions are common to all starts).
