Forgive me, I have never played this mod, or even ANY X series game but... You lost an ISD 1, as well as other cruisers, to 4 Clone Wars era separatist battleships? And you didnt destroy them all? Does this meam the mod devs have made the older ships viable in terms of capability againts more modern ships?
So yea a few things No ISD1s in my task force here, this was a Victory2 and some Vindicator cruisers. The Victory2 is quite a bit smaller than the ISD1 with a subsequent reduction in firepower and durability. Vindicator cruisers are... well... cruisers, and not really designed to go toe to toe with enemy heavy combatants. The Victory2 and the Vindicator are both "L" class ships in this mod. You'll notice one of my cruisers got ahead of the main group and got pulverized before everything else even got there (thx AI) And yes, ships in the mod are balanced around size/class, and somewhat historical capabilities, no just age of ship. For example the providence has excellent broadside firepower and a shit ton of fighters, the munifenct has most of its firepower underneath (to fire down at things) and the Venator has the weakest shields and hull armor of any XL class ship, I believe. . So the Commerce Guild has access to CIS ships, and the Providence class is the main battleship they have. Since it's an XL class ship, it's designed to have XL combat capabilities although it is weaker than an ISD in a straight gunfight. It does carry an insane amount of star fighters but the AI struggles to properly outfit carriers with fighter groups in this game. So in short, yeah, a Victory2 and some vindicators vs 4 XL class ships, even if they are older clone wars era CIS ships, is pretty mismatched fight even tho my fleet had a humber of torpedo bombers and strike fighters to help out.
@@SPIRIT-117 Then bravo for taking down those ships. I've been looking into X4 and I think I've found my next time-waster. Appreciate the corrections 🙏
Great display how nice this game can be! And the mod is awesome too!
I get Star Wars battlefront 2 vibes from this
FOR THE EMPIRE!
As much as i love the CIS Ships, the imperial Vindicator Cruiser is just the best Ship design in Star Wars.
Crazy how much damage a single scimitar with a good pilot can do

@@therevanchist2869just a fair warning, it isn't very user friendly so be prepared for a lot of faffing with menus and stuff
Nothing hits quite like x4 foundations be it vanilla or modded to kingdom come. It's just fun.
