Screenshot of the Day

I like this ship, think the Cerberus could be my favorite combat ship.

It is not the Cerberus... that ship looks different

I'd imagine that would be what I see from the cockpit from it's location on the screenshot. So you just proved it's the Cerberus I think.

Er, no. There is a much larger distance between the bridge and front of the ship in the Centaur.
The Cerberus also has 4 front guns, as you can see on the HUD... where are they ?

I'm like 90% sure that the ship from screenshot and the ship from your video are the same.
It is for sure not Centaur, nor Behemot - so it's either Cerberus or Minotaur.
This doesn't look like missile ship, so Cerberus is a safe bet.

[mr.WHO]

P.S. Is it just me or X4 capship seems to have A LOT less turrets than X-Rebirth and possibly even less turrets than X3.

This one looks like frigate with 6 turrets + 2 front gimbal mounts. I think that X3 Cerberus had more guns.

2-2 guns have different icons, 2 pairs. My full answer here you go:

Not capital, it's an M ship, Skunk size.

The Behemoth has about the same amount of hardpoints as other L sized combat ships in XR. (Balor, Light Sul) In the recent gameplay video you can see next to the large to turret a large shield generator and next to it another smaller shield generator with 2 unused hardpoints on each side, which are undoubtedly mirrored. So confirmed weapons are 2 large ones top bottom (bottom one we only saw the fire coming from), 2 frontal canons, 4 small or medium turrets on top. That's 8 total without seeing the bottom of the ship which likely includes another 4 smaller turrets which brings it to 12. The Balor had 8 turrets and 4 missile launchers which is also 12.

The Light Sul and the Stromvok had similar numbers, the Heavy Sul and the K are the only L ships that seem to have more.

2 & 3 are turrets, so no.
The Cerberus also have 4 turrets on top of the 4 guns btw.

They look the part but I think they aren't. We know weapons can gimbal, large frontal weapons need platforms to do that, so they might look like turrets.
And the rest of the picture speaks for it self. For God's sake you can see the top of the shield generators in the exact same spot in the video.

The Cerberus also have 4 turrets on top of the 4 guns btw.

And you can see 2 behind slightly to the side of the cockpit, one getting shot at...

No, turrets have a very different look from front guns.
Here are medium turrets, and the beam model is exactly that of the screenshot.

The ship in the picture is clearly an M-size Argon frigate (by X4 classification): Argon insignia on the side of the ship, two large forward guns with a handful of turrets, landing pad for S ships.

In X3, the Teladi corvette was called the Osprey. In X4, the Teladi frigate is called the Osprey.

In X3, the Argon corvette was called the Centaur. Assuming it follows the same format as its Teladi counterpart, X4's Argon frigate will be called the Centaur.

That's conjecture, of course. Until we know what its name is, it'd probably best to just call it the "Argon frigate."

Thanks but how do you know it is called the Cerberus? I can't see the Name on any of these
Personally I would rather bet it is the centaur but I don't know.

I'm very very curious how can such a big door（elevator） be installed on such a small ship?

at 24:12 mark, the broadcaster teleports himself from the Nova into the Cerberus using the map.

You know these smartphones today? About 10 years ago, no one could imagine a phone so tight-packed with features while still remaining usable.
Yeah, the dockping port does look weird, but I'm sure the animators have overseen the docking bay's true size compared to each ship and it doesn't break the technical proportions.

"Return fire and prepare for launch!"

My question: can ships exposed on a pad in this manner be damaged/destroyed?

Also, please excuse me while I play some appropriate music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWzQkhLQYr8

I really hope so! Though maybe there'd be a shield generator covering the hangar bay to help prevent that? Still, would be really nice to just nail someone right as they're launching.

Thanks @repatomonor and @X-Raptor Well, case closed - for me ^^

People asked for it and now they get it, X3TC with better graphics.
