[Mod] XR Ship Pack (28 ships now)

[Max Bain]

X:R Ship Pack

PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO USE THE X:REBIRTH SHIP MODELS, YOU SHOULD OWN X:REBIRTH

The X:R Ship Pack includes 28 ships from X:Rebirth (or ships, built up by X:R parts). Some of the imported ships have different roles or names than in X:Rebirth.

Argons/Antigone:

• Arawn Carrier 
• Taranis Battleship (Argon only)
• Avenger Mk1 Battleship (Antigone only)
• Avenger Mk2 Battleship (Antigone only)
• Balor Destroyer (Argon only)
• Excalibur Destroyer (Antigone only)
• Merlin Destroyer  (Antigone only)
• Titurel Fortified Transport (Argon only)
• Challenger Giant Transport  (Antigone only)
• Sulaco Giant Asteroid Miner
• Fedhelm Interstellar Asteroid Miner
• Hermod Interstellar Gas Miner

Holy Order/Godrealm:

• Shark Destroyer (Godrealm only)
• Devastator Battleship (Godrealm only)
• Inquisitor Battleship (Holy Order only)
• Executioner Battleship (Holy Order only)
• Starcatcher Mothership Carrier (Holy Order only)
• Doomhammer Destroyer (Holy Order only)
• Destiny Super Freighter (Holy Order only)
• Stargazer Destroyer (Holy Order only)
• Scaldis Carrier (Godrealm only)
• Hercules Giant Gas Miner

Teladi:

• Scylla Battleship
• Kraken Battleship
• Comet Destroyer
• Event Horizon Giant Gas Miner
• Millenium Megatrans as XL freighter

Split:

• Red Knight

(Screenshots of each ship in the second post)

All ships should be balanced to standard X4 balancing EXCEPT that the ships do have more turrets than the average X4 ship of the same class. To compensate the firepower the ships do have less Health and/or are more expensive.

• The AI should build all ships as well.
• All ships need some license to be built.

As long as I have fun with it, I will import more ships.

Known Bug

• When you move on a dock of a new ship, the stairways to the door is visually blocked by a texture of the ship. But you can move through it without a problem. This can only be fixed by changing the model itself and would take a lot of time, so I think I will let it as it is. Alternatvely press shift + D and select the cockpit or ship you want to go.

Suggested mods:

I highly suggest to download the compatible improved X Rebirth texture pack from here to make the ships look even better:
https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/251

if you like better balancing of X4 I suggest VRO mod:
viewtopic.php?f=181&t=415713

and the SR Ship Pack VRO submod for a VRO balance of the ships in this mod:
viewtopic.php?f=181&t=423276

and on top of these, I also suggest my Weapon Pack mod which works pretty well with VRO:

Changelog

1.1.0

• fixed a bug that court (split faction) jobs spawned at the start of the game while they should be supressed by some story script - this could result in a destruction of the first fleet without the player doing anything

1.0.9

• Red Knight is now a Split battleship (if you dont own Vendetta you should not be able to buy it anymore)
• added split jobs for battleship production (if you dont own Vendetta you should not see any more Red Knights beeing built by Paranid)
• fixed some weapon groups had mixed turret tags
• added medium shield to Sharks bottom turret group
• added turret group with 3 turrets to Shark destroyer
• rotated front weapons of Devastator to match its visual better
• now when the player clicks on an XR ship in space, its ship class will be spoken (for example "Battleship"). This comes at the cost of double ship class text in build menu (like "Taranis Linebreaker Battleship - Battleship")

1.0.8

• added Destiny as Paranid XL freighter (HOP only)

Hey,

first it is good to see some XR ships, i hope you will continue your work and port more ships!

[Edit]
With the new version, all things (but particles folder) seems fine and our mods should be compatible now.

[Max Bain]

Hey,

first it is good to see some XR ships, i hope you will continue your work and port more ships!

Second, like i said earlier, you shouldnt taked my mod and used it as base. Now we have 2 mods, which arent compatible. You left inside many files of my mod and dont use it, even the structure, components- and macronames are equal.
If you didnt put in some changes to my ported Arawn, Taranis and Sucellus, then you should take these ships out of your mod and clean up all unused files for compatibility. If you did some changes to the ships, then you have to clean up all things even the names and delete/rename all files.
The problem is, i added some things to the ships, but they arent fully complete. In the future i want to make some more changes. If anyone want to use both mods, then the chance is high that my files in your mod override my new files in my mod.

Hi, Sco,

I changed all of your ships. They have different balancing and different modules. I also removed a lot of your assets already.

• I am aware of the fact that your mod will not be compatible with this mod, but I thought that someone who plays your mod does not want to play this mod, simply because different factions would have the same ship (Sucellus for example) and the balancing is very different. You have ships with way over a million hull points.
• I wrote

  Code: Select all

  I might change the file names of some ships in the near future, so I think that the ships you have already built might disappear then

  because I want to have different file names than your mod. So far I just was too lazy to do it yet. First priority was to add more ships and I already removed lots of files and links.
• I interpreted your "should" more like a should instead of a must . But I will change this for the next version then because in general you are right. Mods should be compatible even it is unlikely that people will use both.
  So I should have ported them directly myself without using your mod then (except for the Arawn where I took some of the dock positions from your mod but even this will change in the future I think).

Ok, good to hear. Players should have the choice to use both mods, even i want to use your mod and i hope you want to port some more ships.
I didnt like the look of the ported ships in X4, so i added some components, engine- and lighteffects to these ships.
Arawn, Taranis and Sucellus were my favorites in XR, thats the cause i want to add/change more at these ships (effects, holes for the docking ports, better docking ports and so on).

[Max Bain]

Just uploaded a new version without references to your mod or unused files. Should be safe to use both mods now

[xWolfzx]

Are you sure they are balanced as you say? They seem to have more turrets, as much or more shield/hull but are almost the same price range as the vanilla ships

[Max Bain]

Are you sure they are balanced as you say? They seem to have more turrets, as much or more shield/hull but are almost the same price range as the vanilla ships

You need to be more specific on this.
I just checked Colossus vs Taranis for example.
Taranis costs 42,675 Million while the Colossus costs 35,512 Million.
The Taranis has slightly more Health but can not dock M sized ships and has no launch tubes. It has some more turrets 16 vs 24 turrets (4 large).

On paper for me that looks ok-ish but I am not playing the game right now, so I dont know if it is just good on paper. So I need detaled feedback to change the balancing.

Are you sure that this comes from my mod? Because I just searched in all of the mod files after some of the words like "explosion_xl_01_explosion01_light_macro" and could not find a single reference to it. So why should it be missing when no unit is referencing it?

Do you know where it comes from?

[xWolfzx]

Are you sure they are balanced as you say? They seem to have more turrets, as much or more shield/hull but are almost the same price range as the vanilla ships

You need to be more specific on this.
I just checked Colossus vs Taranis for example.
Taranis costs 42,675 Million while the Colossus costs 35,512 Million.
The Taranis has slightly more Health but can not dock M sized ships and has no launch tubes. It has some more turrets 16 vs 24 turrets (4 large).

On paper for me that looks ok-ish but I am not playing the game right now, so I dont know if it is just good on paper. So I need detaled feedback to change the balancing.

Ah you are right, I did not factor other things like docking, cargo capacity etc, will continue to play around with those factors in mind. Another question, I noticed some of the new ships have fixed weapon slots, eg the devastator and shark, I cannot seem to attach the main battery to them though, is that a bug?

The balancing is not perfect yet. This cant be the case in the first releases. Balancing is a long ongoing process, so every feedback helps. I didnt say that you are totally wrong with your assumption. Maybe the prices are too cheap. SO far my game experience is not existent, so please if you have the feeling that ships are too cheap let me know.

To the main batteries:
They should work. I just tested it myself... see screen:

You need to be more specific on this.
I just checked Colossus vs Taranis for example.
Taranis costs 42,675 Million while the Colossus costs 35,512 Million.
The Taranis has slightly more Health but can not dock M sized ships and has no launch tubes. It has some more turrets 16 vs 24 turrets (4 large).

On paper for me that looks ok-ish but I am not playing the game right now, so I dont know if it is just good on paper. So I need detaled feedback to change the balancing.

Ah you are right, I did not factor other things like docking, cargo capacity etc, will continue to play around with those factors in mind. Another question, I noticed some of the new ships have fixed weapon slots, eg the devastator and shark, I cannot seem to attach the main battery to them though, is that a bug?

The balancing is not perfect yet. This cant be the case in the first releases. Balancing is a long ongoing process, so every feedback helps. I didnt say that you are totally wrong with your assumption. Maybe the prices are too cheap. SO far my game experience is not existent, so please if you have the feeling that ships are too cheap let me know.

To the main batteries:
They should work. I just tested it myself... see screen:

Just checked why it does not work, they cannot equip Paranid type main batteries but are able to equip Behemoth type, ala your screenshot, so they should either be changed to Argon cap ships or have Paranid main batteries be enabled (They are different in design)
