For reasons beyond my control I can't install extra software.
I want to look at the XML files for the ships because the Encyclopedia is not complete, the information in the ship purchase screen is not detailed enough and Roguey's is out of date.
I can't seem to find them anywhere apparently I need to 'extract' the game using an additional piece of software, unfortunately I can't use it on my system due to administrative restrictions outside of my control. Is there any where I can find this information without unpacking?
Getting the xml files without installing extra software?

If you just want to browse "what do the ships do", you can use Roguey's website: https://roguey.co.uk/x4/

Re: Getting the xml files without installing extra software?
What are you looking for? As a ware or performance data?
If you have Excel, you can load it in using the Developers Tab (hidden by default, you have to enable it via Excel settigns). Just have to get a template to "map" the data into an Excel Table and then you can Import all the ship data files to create a database table.
I only have ship data for how much the materials the chassis needs, but I want to guess you are looking for other data.

Re: Getting the xml files without installing extra software?
I also had a look into the ship property xml macros, and it is very messy. Things like units of max hull points does not match the MJ quantity, and looks to be a formula rather than a straight conversion (e.g. Behemoth Vanguard has Max Hull = 93000 in xml, but 210 GJ; Sentinel version is 111000 in XML, and 245 GJ. There are also component references to other files (e.g. for ship capacities and ware storage levels), so there is no "one" file you can look at per ship that will give you all encyclopedia information.
Even missile capacity doesn't seem to line up. Max Missile capacity for Behemoth Vanguard has Missile Capacity As "160", but Encyclopedia has 200....so not sure what's happening there. There is a also a "unit" attribute = 10 under storage...not sure what that is related to either.

Perhaps, you can test this site : X4 Ships - Quantum Anomaly
