Re: X4: Cradle of Humanity *UPDATE* Fresh from the shipyard: unveiling a new battleship

And if you recall the trailor in August, not all the terran's ships have installed all of their turrets.
Personally, I think this battleship have 2 XL forward-facing main guns, 24 L turrets, and 20~30 M turrets. That's reasonable.

Would be cool to have those two XL batteries for smaller targets and one huge XXL railgun for bigger game. THAT would be convincing firepower. :D

I did an ultra zoom in paint to what I thought is M-size dock - what I though is orange landing stripes is not actually orange and looks slightly different than orange lines on landing pad.

By the end of the week they will give us a christmas card which shows a new ship. But it is really that and nothing more. And it is the last thing for this year.

So yeah, I hope they show either the heavy fighter or the frigate. :)

I was under impresion that the Wide folding wings fighter is a heavy fighter - it has visible 4 guns.

It may be, but it doesn't have to. We also have two other factions to consider, at least the Yaki ought to have a heavy fighter of their own.

I don't know what the model name of that battleship would be, but I know the perfect name for mine:

Sol Imperator.
The Teladi are known for creating a standardized currency, ship insurance, and insurance fraud.

Will the next DLC add a proper Pirate faction(Yaki)? I've seen some mentions of a Yaki ship on the thread, and it would make sense with this DLC.

I know we can be some sort of semi pirates right now, but I really hope that a new proper pirate faction would be added, with its own specific ships, sectors, plot, like the Yaki in X3. Maybe even a pirate start for a full dedicated pirate playthrough...

I would be glad to see even already shown warships in a new screenshot or animation gif.
I wonder how the cockpit and the uniform of Terrans will look like? :roll:

If the uniforms are similar to the ones described in the books they will be overall/flight suits with the vitruvian man emblazoned on the side. I think during the trailer or one of the screenshots you can see the symbol on the side of a ship.
We don’t know what paradise is like, but probably it’s blue magenta, flecked with pink. But even if it’s green and red-checked we should make the most of it. -Boron saying

Recently read "Farnham's Legend" and "Nopileos", they were in the book warehouse for over 10 years before I bought them! There is a description of the USC form, but in X4: Cradle of Humanity it seems like there will be no USC and ATF.

USC and ATF were things of the time before the shutdown. But in order to ensure the security and continuing stability, they were reorganized into the first Terran [redacted], for a safe and secure society. :!:

Interesting, thanks. I wonder if the new Terran ships will be half USC and half ATF design. The battleship seems like a mix.

Sshhh Sshhh! The only thing more elusive than CoH release date is Starfields release date! In all seriousness they’re a small company, they’ll release it when it’s ready. I’m guessing we might receive an update or possibly a release date in the near future, maybe it will release April 1st like Split Vendetta.

Sleek and clean design, a bit inspired by the space x dragon capsule and some automotive design.
