-------------------------------

Hello together,

this will gonna be a thread where i post my work, give updates and of course, will discuss with you.

But at first, let me intrduce myself.
I am Lc4Hunter, playing the X-series since X2. I was very active during the X3 modding era but lost interest on it because of that strange thing called reallife.
Time was running short and other things were more important then modding stuff...

With XR i completely lost interest in the game but eventually X4 brought me back to the series.
During the time, i had many ideas of things i would love to see in the game but never really started getting into it.

Finally, i am back and i want to share my work with you (as i want you to enjoy it :) )

-------------------------------

Current WIP:
- X3 Teladi Phoenix rebuild

-------------------------------

Finished:
Argon Titan battleship
Terran Nagoya battleship (X3TC Osaka rebuild)

-------------------------------

Best regards,
Lc4Hunter

Argon Titan Battleship / Battlecruiser

The Argon Titan is the 2nd largest vessel in the Argon fleet, following the Colossus.
It has many similarities from the Colossus and also the Behemoth in it´s appearence.

It´s a fast ship with a high amount of turrets, placed all over its hull to minimize blind spots.
In return, it has only 2 XL-shields which limits the survivability during longer battles and no mainguns as the ship is not designed as an attack vessel.

The main purpose of the Titan is to secure the Argon space and to defend against any hostile.

Specifications:
1 XL-Engine
2 XL-Shields
16 L-Turrets
36 M-Turrets

1 M-Dock
3 S-Docks

Terran Nagoya Battleship

The Nagoya is basically a rebuild of the Osaka-class from X3TC with a lot of adjustment to fit the style of the terrans in X4.

It´s a slow ship with a medium amount of turrets, placed all over its hull with a few blind spots.
In return, it has 3 (terran) XL-shields which increases the survivability during longer battles.
It also has no mainguns as the ship is not designed as an attack vessel.

It has 8 s-docks and a large storage to carry enough supplies for longer operations.

The main purpose of the Nagoya is to secure the Protectorates and Pioneers space and to defend it against any hostile.

Specifications:
4 XL-Engine
3 XL-Shields
12 L-Turrets
28 M-Turrets

1 M-Dock
8 S-Docks

The Teladi Phoenix Rebuild

As i was looking for an idea how to build a battleship for the Teladi, i came to the idea to use the old X3 Teladi battleship for that purpose as i like the design much more then the current mushroom ones.
Except this, the mushroom design also has some issues in regard of turret placement and firing arcs.

So i started to remodel the Phoenix with the goal to upgrade the model with more details and so on.

<pictures broken>
Current status

Specifications:
2 XL-Engines
4 XL-Shields

Another idea (for the near future) is also making a new model for the old Teladi carrier.
I already checked if all surface elements will fit the model and scaled the carrier up because it uses some of the elements already used at the Phoenix, like the whole front.
I scaled it up to fit the size of the front of the Phoenix. In my opinion, this would fit much better and so it can take all required surface elements with ease.

A small update regarding the Titan.

I´m currently on texturing all that small parts of the ship and on the detailwork of the ship.

Here you see the superstructure of the underside.
An ungrateful job, but at the end the ship should look good.

And it´s a sign that the work is near completion ;-)

Thats not the first time hearing this. But to be honest, the Osaka was no influence on this ship. The idea came up last year when i played a bit around with the models. The base of the Titan is the Colossus where a part of the middle, and the whole bottom arm, was cut away.
The first idea was to close this gap between the arms but the design with the arms looked more argon like.

Thanks a lot! :-)

Here is a first ingame screenshot of the Titan.
Please dont be confused by the docks in the aft of the ship. The scene is from the Colossus. When its final, there will be just 1 M-dock.
I just used the scene to check the model/texturing.

The Titan is now ingame and works so far.
It´s currently a bit to slow and needs some minor tweaks, but most of the work is done... :D

Awesome work!

I was looking if anyone made X3 Titan for X4 on the net and found your sketchfab post with your Phoenix rebuild. Fantastic work and I hope you release it! Teladi ship style in X4 is something I really hate (close second are the bug-like Xenons compared to the creepy pointy X3 Xenons) - no way would Teladi change the style so much in just 20 years lol! I miss my Shrikes lol. While I really like the new Titan you made, could you be moved to remake the X3TC Titan as well? It's by far my most favorite ship of all times. <3 :oops:

Thanks for the nice words. I appreciate that!
Well, currently i am not planning to rebuild the X3-Titan as it doenst fit the current design of the Argons which is kinda ok. The Teladi Design is also ok so far, just their bigger ships don´t fit the style of the smaller ones in my opinion. Thats why i rebuild the old Phoenix.
At the moment, the Phoenix just makes small progress. Needed a break from it.

But i started another ship which is on a good way so far.
Its a modified Osaka from X3. I try to use the X4 terran design and rebuild the Osaka with it. And i am happy so far with the result.

Very well made ship.

I hope someone will make VRO path and I'm looking forward to your Phoenix (never been a fan of XR/X4 Shroom Teladi ships) and Osaka (I didn't liked X3 Osaka, I prefer X4 one much more, but I see you fixed the X3 odd bottom Engines to be less ugly).
