The present examination of the X-ray luminosity of wind-fed neutron stars in eccentric orbits around Oe/Be stars gives attention to evolutionary scenarios that lead to the formation of Be/X-ray binaries. Proceeding on the basis of a scenario in which the neutron star's orbital plane tends to be close to the Be star's equatorial plane, an investigation is conducted of the Be star's stellar wind velocities and densities, the effects of the wind geometry, and the effect of neutron star orbital motion on expected X-ray luminosity.
