Please let me retrofit (at least the smaller) Xenon ships!

[...] fly new ships with only some work required by Egosoft [...]

Making the exisiting xenon ships piloteable like the other ships, is the same amount of work as creating a new ship from scratch.
Almost no time is saved by reusing the existing ship geometry.

This makes me very unhappy. Why do you have to crush someones' dream like this?

Is it possible that there is no Xenon carrier ("J") in X4 because their fighters cannot land on anything?

But they CAN land, before the EMP bomb exploit was fixed, I'm used it to capture S miners, and even a P that was stuck inside a Xenon Defence station under construction, and they can land in stations and carriers.

Fixing the EMP exploit made me very sad...

technically the xenon ships can dock/land.
They even have normal launch tubes at their stations where the m miners dock and deliver the wares.

They are simply missing the entire setup for having them work for a player.
No cockpit, no landinggear, no xs dock, no compatibility with the modular upgrades, no paint etc.

But with exception of the engines, as the commonwealth engines not fit in the xenons S/M ships, you can upgrade everything else. See the screenshoot:

Note: Not using mods, is vanilla 3.00 beta 5 HF1, I get the ship in 2.60 before the EMP exploit was fixed. And is here where come the curiosity, before the 3.00 beta, upgrading xenon XL ships isn't possible, but in 3.00, even if the EMP exploit was fixed, have been added the possibility to upgrade xenon XL ships also.

The Xenon ships can't be modified in 2.6 (the UI doesn't appear), but in 3.0 you can modify Xenon ships. I assume this was made possible because of the ship comparison feature that lets you compare your ships against Xenon ships.

I was talking about the small and medium ships. The capital ships dont have a "cockpit" but a bridge (which is not modeled into the ship).
