6.00 Public Beta 7 now available

New week, new beta - and one week closer to the finishing line! X4 6.00 Beta 7 is now available for you to check out. We'll add the complete list of changes to the end of this news, and would ask you to continue reporting any issues in our Public Beta Feedback Forum as usual. Thank you for your continued support during this public beta test cycle!

How do I take part in the Public Beta?
Every player who owns X4: Foundations has the opportunity to download the new 6.00 beta version. In order to ensure that beta participants are aware of the risks and rules involved, we ask all interested players to visit our forum, where they will find the rules and disclaimers, as well as practical instructions for participating in the beta. Follow this link to our forum (no registration required) to find the relevant information.

Note: If Steam displays an older Beta version rather than "public_beta - 6.00 Beta 7" in the beta drop-down menu, this is just a display error in the Steam client. You can correct this by re-entering the beta password (see forum), but even with the incorrect version displayed in the list, you will still be playing the latest version of the beta if you have selected the public_beta branch.
