when it comes to the R ship being added the ones flying around can die but the ones in the bb scrpted fleet cannot die, like i added a cheat mod to test it and stole it and threw it in the middle a fleet and they dont take damage. my mods are just sve

The xenon ships added by this mod generally arent more powerful than vanilla ones.
The V is weaker than a K (less armor, less firepower), and the R just slightly stronger than a K (a bit more armor, a bit more firepower) but still far weaker than the vanilla I-class.
King DaMuncha 9. nov. kl. 21:51 
No theyre just too hard to kill. Xenon sent two of them into Antigone space and wiped out everything and then sat by the gate and killed every trade ship that came through it.

@K.O.SAW @King DaMuncha
I just checked ingame and they very much are not. So whatever your issue is, its something on your end. Probably some mod incompatability or corrupted files, or missing extensions.
K.O.SAW 8. nov. kl. 1:49 
They are invincible and invisible. All attacks fly through and do no damage. @bhorton22 @Luca

How so? Please explain. I took a look at the xml code and there is nothing there to make the xenon ships unkillable.
King DaMuncha 26. okt. kl. 22:56 
the Xenon XL ships are unkillable.

@Cookiesaurus
Nah there is a limited amount of names which have voicelines but are unused in the game.
If you want to learn modding check the forums, some useful threads covering a few basics there. Apart from that the egosoft discord will be quite helpful.

@Luca
Oh, they were voiced? I was under the impression that they were automatically read, haha. Guess I have a lot to learn. I want to get into modding X4 but I've only just started thinking about it, so don't really know much.
Luca  [ophavsmand] 19. okt. kl. 8:12 
@Cookiesaurus
By simply using whatever ship names were voiced and to my knowledge mostly unused by other mods.
Cookiesaurus 19. okt. kl. 5:35 
I am curious though, how did you end up with the name Fenrir?
Cookiesaurus 19. okt. kl. 5:33 
@Luca Ah, I apologize, I think I got it confused with VRO ships. Sorry!
Luca  [ophavsmand] 19. okt. kl. 3:00 
@Cookiesaurus
There is no ship called Kitsune in my mod.
Cookiesaurus 18. okt. kl. 20:50 
Hey, this is just a suggestion, but would you be willing to change the Kitsune frigate to a new name? IMO, it doesn't really fit with the large ship Terran scheme of Japanese cities/towns/prefectures, and while the kitsune is Japanese folklore it doesn't fit in those defined categories. Might I suggest Hiraizumi, Karuizawa, or Shirakawa?
PringleMan 11. okt. kl. 13:29 
Alrighty, thanks anyways!
Luca  [ophavsmand] 11. okt. kl. 13:20 
@PringleMan
I'm afraid not as I do not use other (multi-) ship mods, nor VRO/Reemergence.
PringleMan 11. okt. kl. 13:11 
Note: the crash from the dump says it is a KERNELBASE!RaiseException+0x69 which is not super helpful since it does not point to a specific problem
PringleMan 11. okt. kl. 13:07 
Are you tracking any major incompatibilities with other ship mods or with X4 Reemergence? I am running just fine until I add this and SVE VRO patch, and then I get crashes at the last stages of loading in a save (around the 97% mark).
sleepy 6. okt. kl. 9:11 
Very excellent ship pack indeed
Daan 6. okt. kl. 6:36 
Alright. I must say though that I have been looking on and off for good ships for a few years and I'm mildly furious that your ship pack is this excellent and that I havent been able to find this before.

Well done, but thats why I thought it could do with a little better advertisement.
Luca  [ophavsmand] 5. okt. kl. 10:24 
@Daan
No, too many ships, too much work. You can just take a look at (almost) all of them in the custom game start ship selection.
Daan 5. okt. kl. 8:11 
Any chance you could upload pictures of the ships with name?
Luca  [ophavsmand] 28. sep. kl. 11:17 
@AzoorFox
Doesnt require any update for the new x4 version...
AzoorFox 28. sep. kl. 9:02 
UPDATE WHEN???????????????
Seryph 16. sep. kl. 12:50 
why is there an invisible wall where we have to enter the Gharial mk1 via spacesuit? i literally cant get in this ship and it gets blown up by the Xenon that are around it because of this
sleepy 15. sep. kl. 15:31 
you can try using a ship with a marine and you being OOS. thats how I did it.
oniris 15. sep. kl. 15:17 
Can't claim the abandoned Gharial Mk1, the signal leak and entrance are behind a invisible wall
sleepy 15. sep. kl. 9:47 
The Gharial Mk 1 cannot deploy any deployables such as laser towers. It can’t launch drones. And it can’t launch boarding pods.
Tanksaawk 14. sep. kl. 15:41 
Works with 8.0
Luca  [ophavsmand] 12. sep. kl. 14:45 
@King DaMuncha
It should be compatible with the newest update judging by the patchnotes, no idea about the expansion as I dont have it.
King DaMuncha 11. sep. kl. 10:59 
Compatible with the latest expansion?
Luca  [ophavsmand] 1. sep. kl. 15:53 
@Morasain
I do not, havent played X4 in a long time.
Sounds like you could set up some extra jobs for the destroyer though, given you know some xml and can set that up. Something I will keep in mind and maybe do in MFE at some point.
Morasain 1. sep. kl. 13:21 
Do you ever intend on adding more Kha'ak ships? I really enjoy fighting them, but except for that one destroyer that statically spawns in Mists of Artemis, they're so weak
Shiroyo 30. aug. kl. 13:44 
But that's a shame since I'm doing Yaki playthrough and I'm using mod to acquire ship/station blueprints from scanning multiple ships and that doesn't work for this one :(
Shiroyo 30. aug. kl. 12:43 
@Luca Okay, got it, thanks for the quick reply
Luca  [ophavsmand] 30. aug. kl. 12:02 
@Shiroyo
Some ships/blueprints are not available for purchase intentionally.
Shiroyo 30. aug. kl. 11:56 
Overall great additions, but one question though. I don't know if that is the case only for this ship but I see that there is no Bishamonten available (Yaki Destroyer), why is that? And yes, mod is working, because I see other ships available (like Susanowa). And I also checked the full list of existing ships in my game (via another mod) and there is everything I think, but no Bishamonten
Cas CR 20. aug. kl. 13:25 
Ok, as long as you know. Obviously going back with a marine wasn't a huge deal since the guards were all dead at that point. Hope they get the tool issues resolved.

And yeah it's been working fine on 7.6 for me; haven't noticed any issues, at least, besides the few collision meshes.
Luca  [ophavsmand] 20. aug. kl. 12:52 
@Cas CR
Yeah its a known issue for some ships. Havent been able to get the mesh generation going properly ever since egosoft changed tools.

@Brulikrax
It doesnt need any updates as far as I'm aware.
Cas CR 20. aug. kl. 12:26 
hey, thanks for the mod, lot of fun ships!

Small issue I found: the collision mesh around the Gharial Mk1's spacesuit airlock/port is poor, and prevents you from getting close enough to scan the data leak and claim it with that method.

I'm using this mod with the VRO patch, but I'm guessing the mesh originates here.
Brulikrax 17. aug. kl. 3:55 
Hi! Are there any plans for updating this mod to the latest version of the game?
Luca  [ophavsmand] 14. aug. kl. 22:40 
@donxavi1
This mod has absolutely nothing to do with what shipyards do. It only inserts new ships and new jobs but doesnt touch what ships (other than SVE ones) are built nor how many. No logic is changed so whatever is causing it is something else.

@Quantum Projects
There is not I'm afraid. Just check the wares.xml for all ships that have the "noplayerblueprint" tag, that will be all of the ones you want to edit.

@lym71396207
Not a bug. If the blueprint isnt available even with other mods that thats how it works, I never tried so I have no idea if thats how it always was, but that the blueprint isnt available within SVE is intentional.
donxavi1 14. aug. kl. 14:32 
I have this mod installed and my shipyards produce only old versions of ships, for example they produce only old behemoth ships not the E variant. The ships accumulate next to the faction shipyard, like a dozen behemoth just sitting in space not even flying around.

Anyone else experiencing this? Xenon are all gone without me fighting agaibst them. Its like there is an overproduktion of ships from the factions (always old ships not the new e versions. The ships from this mod aren`t produced anymore. I have no other mod that I could imagine causing this.
Quantum Projects 12. aug. kl. 8:21 
Hi! Is there a list of which ships we may buy from factions but which we can't acquire the blueprints of? I'm considering modding a simple patch to make their blueprints obtainable so that I can acquire their blueprints from reverse engineering them (another mod). Thanks in advance!
lym71396207 2. aug. kl. 1:05 
there is a bug. The Douala XL can be purchased from antigone shipyard only. Its blueprint, however, is not in the list of Antigone faction representative. I used reserve engineer to analyze the ship, and did not add the ship in my shipyard, after the analyze is done. Seems like the ship does not have blue print at all
Benito Vassilini 1. aug. kl. 1:46 
Sadly most of the time i didnt go instantly on a "hunt" for neutral ships they nearly all get claimed by yaki or others,
a tragedy that the heavy paracel then is lost forever.

Can you add the heavy paracel for antigone to at least be able to build one after the neutral got "lost"?
varsith 14. juli kl. 23:34 
this mod compatible with Reemergence mod?
