Understanding the User Interface (UI) — X4: Foundations Guide

Demystify the X4: Foundations UI: radar, target monitor, ship status, and the crucial global map for navigation and empire management.

The X4 UI can seem daunting at first, but it's incredibly powerful once understood. Key elements include the radar, target monitor, ship status panel, and the global map. The global map (M key) is your most important tool for navigation, trade, and empire management. Learn to use filters on the map to display specific information like stations, ships, and resources. The property menu (P key) provides detailed information about your assets and allows for management of your fleet and stations.
