A single M can strip down the shields of an M3 fighter very quickly on its own - add in several dozen friends and you basically need a capital ship to kill them all without dying instantly in a hailstorm of (nearly) hitscan weapons. While they're poorly shielded, they come in huge swarms, and 90% of them will mount Pulsed Beam Emitters - weapons which are impossible to dodge. The ability to fly multiple ships quickly returned in X4: Foundations. Cue a lot of angry flaming and a big split between players who thought the new gameplay style deserved a chance and those who decried the choice as completely nonsensical.

This had been a staple of the series since the days of X-Tension - indeed the addition of other fliable ships was, at the time, hailed as a massive improvement over Beyond the Frontier - and many players did not take its omission well.

Rebirth has an elaborate and highly modifiable ship the player can fly - but in order to switch the emphasis on the Albion, they removed the ability to fly other ships in the game.

This is in stark contrast to the generally glad-to-help nature of the typical veteran X-er. Opponents point to EVE Online, which in its current state has griefing and noob-hunting as a primary activity of much of the playerbase. Proponents think multiplayer would be fun. If the Steam pro/con poll in the X: Rebirth forum is any judge, the forums are split about 70/30 in favor.

A third, less vocal category is the people who don't mind Steam in principle, but don't have the bandwidth to make use of it. The EGOSOFT forums can be divided into two categories: People who love Steam, and people who think it is a demonic spawn from the fiery pits of hell, destined to steal all your money.Examples include the Teladi Vulture (the standard one anyway the Hauler and Sentinel variants actually make serviceable carrier-based bombers), any abandoned ship whether or not it was piloted, the Fragmentation Bomb Launcher, any dumbfire missile that isn't the Tornado, and Nividium. Better Off Sold: Most of the ships/weapons/items you sometimes obtain tend to fall under this.In an In-Universe example, the notoriously incompetent autopilot can do one better by doing high-speed maneuvering and throttle manipulation while SETA is enabled without disabling it, but because it's the autopilot this is incredibly dangerous. In a Real Life example, if you go into the game not knowing you can't turn while SETA is active you'll find it works just fine with mouse-follow as long as you don't turn too sharply or change your speed. There are two ways to get around this that both qualify in different ways. According to the description of the SETA drive you should not be able to change direction or speed while SETA is enabled.

Forum member StarSword didn't read the manual and started freshly hired Apprentices working for an Equipment Dock, and discovered they worked just fine. The manual for the Terran Conflict Bonus Pack states that Commercial Agents have to be of a certain rank before they can bring cargo to and from player-owned docks. Achievements in Ignorance: Placed here because it's a Real Life example.
