While the perspective is a bit off due to the frontal view and widescreen FOV, that ship does rather resemble an M class. However, it doesn't have the M class features, such as the giant shield generators and turrets, so it's probably an S ship with a tight fit for docks.

If we were to put the Osprey or Mercury next to it, not even their cockpits would fit in the screen.

See the "Warden Destroyer Odysseus Sentinel" in this image? what do you think?
And the Argon Destroyer isn't called the Titan for a good reason yes but the good reason could be "that Destroyers are no longer XL like Carriers, they're L now, and so there may be Battleships later in X4 so the name Titan could be reserved for the Argon Battleship", don't you think? :wink:

That ship was never shown close up as of yet so we can only guess at it's class. However the name is a giveaway, but a weird at that, it was previously an M2 just like the Titan.

So was the K..........

That's my point. Both the Phoenix and the Odysseus are M2s as the Titan in previous games, hence it makes no sense to have them as Destroyers since the Argons didn't name their destroyer as their previous M2. Then again "Warden Destroyer" means the Odysseus is one... :gruebel: I give up honestly. The Vulture was L in XR now M as someone pointed out earlier. The K was an M2 then L in XR and it took it to X4 likely as well. Ego can't be this inconsistent, can they??? :doh:

@csaba,
I guess anything in X4 universe, including ship names, might potentially change since the game is still under development, but not much remaining till release then we'll know the exact ship names, I guess. :)

[Edit]

Does anyone know a Paranid combat ship named Gorgon... or something like that?! :wink:

oh... you're planning to run this thread past release? I thought it's just theory crafting. Would be nice to have them all sorted especially since people will most likely be focused at one faction in the beginning.

@csaba,
Yeah I'm just trying to list what ships does X4 have to give a picture of the game,
although I don't want to be spoiling the game except the info obtained from the official trailers, screenshots and hot topics in the forum. :)

@Geek,
I know the Medusa but I saw a ship in the Announcement Trailer (@ time 4:50) that has the name "HOL Escort Fighter Gorgon..."!, though I guess it might have been changed? :gruebel:

[Edit]

Also, can anyone give more details about the Argon Magnetar? :roll:

Well spotted.
I am not sure, but it is noticeable that some names seem related, like Titan and Behemoth, or Medusa and Gorgon... maybe ships which have gone through redesign or something.

Yeah the Raptor in XR was renamed to Gangrene Chaser after a redesign. Could be that.

It was a TM (small carrier) in X3TC.

https://roguey.co.uk/x3tc/ships/ship-10/

Either the M frigate for the Argon instead of the Cerberus or Centaur or an L sized carrier like the Suls from XR. Too little info on it.

I know it was a TM in TC/AP, but again I saw "Food Freighter Magnetar" in the Announcement Trailer which means it's a Freighter now? or it might be an L sized carrier as you said?
I guess it's probably an L Heavy Freighter! :gruebel:

[Edit]

And as for the Cerberus and Centaur, I'm pretty sure Cerberus is in and it's most likely a Frigate.

Freighter is a good bet I doubt much chaged in the last 2 months of development. Every ships has cargo now as games prior to XR if I recall correctly, some AI might have bought a carrier as a food trader for extra security but I doubt it. :lol:

It also could be that Ego is trolling and randomized the names for the trailers.

Maybe it'll have docking space for fighters, like the TM Magnetar.

I now know that the Argon Magnetar as well as the Teladi Pelican are L Heavy Freighters now and they probably have docking pads like the Paranid XL Super Freighter Atlas.


Besides... I've updated the Ship List, and there are apparently XS | S | M | L | XL sizes for Combat and Trading Ships (and maybe Mining Ships too).

So... it seems that the Argon Cerberus and the Teladi Osprey are most likely Frigates (they have a landing pad). And the Argon Minotaur and the Teladi Peregrine are Bombers. :)

The S Combat Ships (i.e. Scouts and Fighters) most likely have 4 variants (per race).

Additionally, there's the Argon Mammoth, though I'm not sure whether it is a Construction Ship or an XL Super Freighter like the Paranid Atlas. :gruebel:

While it is truly funny I wouldn't mind some wares to be transported exclusively with at least destroyer sized combat ships.


I can't forget the time when I boarded a Ledda Industries Weapons Trader Rahannas filled to the brim with Plasma Jets. Easiest 300 mil I ever had in an X game.

Yeah, now the Magnetar class is still a military transport but one that can transport both combat ships and wares as well, and it's a heavy freighter now (not light like in TC/AP).

Updated Ship List! Hopefully it's more accurate now. :)

Besides, since the Osprey is now a Frigate, could you tell (or speculate) the name of the Teladi Corvette? :roll:

I'm not sure, but now I think there might be only 3 M-size Combat Ships per race (not 4). :P I thought that ship is another Argon Frigate (other than the Cerberus) but it turned out to be the Teladi Osprey! :wink:

[Edit]

However, isn't that ship is a fourth frigate (other than the Cerberus, Osprey and Nemesis)? :?

That's probably just the Cerberus and the fighter on top is likely the Elite.
