It's no wonder all the HOP sectors in my game are drying out!

...I'll see myself out.

One of the reasons why I started X4 late on was I felt the game needed better looking capital ships which came in the form of the XR Shippack Mod and of course Split Vendetta.

In my opinion Odysseus can be a candidate for the ugliest ship in Sci-fi :) Which is weird because outside of Paranid capital ships I really like ship designs in X4. There is just a lack of variety.

I'm not a big fan of Paranid ships in general.
I don't really like the Ody (although I gotta recognize it beats the crap outta the argon and teladi designs in terms of battle performance), but I think I like the paranid carrier even less.

Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

Something is terribly wrong with textures on Paranid ships. No detailes and blurry. Paint skins look awfully on them. No metal brush feel (or mirror style) at all. Especially compared to split ships. Every single X Rebirth ship has better textures, overall design and many small details. And I don't understand, where are: Agamemnon, Ares, Ariadne and Deimos from X3 ? Again, X4 lacks any beautifyl capital ships for old races (paranid, teladi, argon).

Honestly, even if they were the best ships in the game, I wouldn't use Paranid ships because of how ugly they look.

I don't like Paranid cap ships one bit. They look extremely ugly to me. BUT I wouldn't change them. Why would all ships need to look pretty?! Those are alien ships we are talking about. Maybe they are pretty to Paranids. :D

I don't like anything about the Paranid design, ships or stations. I never interact with them outside of trading, they're just not my style.

Well they are old designs from earlier episodes but tbf I think they look fine for an alien design. Not everything needs to look like a modern day warship to be cool looking. :khaak: :khaak: :khaak:

Neither good nor bad in my oppinion. Just a tad funny, in the "Okay we need some detail for the eyes, otherwise it looks just like some wierd kinda egg - oh i know add an handle"-kinda way. But seeing the stylistic changes and kitbash things from X2 onwards, beauty was never really so important thing in my books.

Just a reminder for the community here, never ask for a redesign of the Paranid Odysseus, if not in small details and adjustments.

Ask for a second Paranid L destroyer :wink: :wink:

No. To me, this thing is so ugly that I want it to be replaced, so that I don't need to see it in game anymore.
Nothing against a second destroyer for paranids, but a replacement is more important. For me at least :oops:

IMO the X3 model was much more beautiful.

But then it was butchered and sacrificed on the altar of M docks and L turrets. Compared to its brothers, the Zeus and the Atlas, it is a complete design failure IMHO. The huge rectangular cutouts disturbing the sleek oval shapes, the huge L turrets sticking out of the hull, the halved width and the huge M dock box making it twice the height, mistake upon mistake. :(

Such a great ship to use as a personal mobile base due to its M docking port but damn is she ugly.
