5 5  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 [[doc:Factions]] of the game. In some instances the starting scenario also determines initial missions (later game missions are common to all starts).
