📋 About This Mod
VRO Patch for Lc4Hunter's Argon Basilisk - L Heavy Destroyer
Original Mod -- Argon Basilisk - L Heavy Destroyer
The ship's stats and prices have been altered to fit into VRO's balance. The balancing has been brought inline with OTAS pack's Cruiser, the Boreas.
- []Overall prices and resource costs have been increased ~20% resulting in the ship being about x1. 5 the cost of a Behemoth; still very much worth it.
- []Maneuverability is a bit chunkier than original. Tried to bring it in line with VRO standards, taking into account the 4 engines, and the Behemoth's stats. The result is a ship that is actually a little (marginally) slower and fatter than the Behemoth to compensate for so much more firepower and survivability. The 4th engine helps.
- []The rear L-bank of turrets now have Highpower/Argonly tags from VRO. The unique weapons damage increased to be better than the normal ARG destroyer weapon.
- []The hull has been increased from 115k to 325k following the VRO pattern along with the radar, missile and unit storages being standardized. Crew capacity, cargo, and ship/hangar space remains unchanged.
This VRO patch rebalances Lc4Hunter's Argon Basilisk L Heavy Destroyer to fit VRO's balance, increasing prices and resource costs by ~20%, boosting hull from 115k to 325k, and adjusting maneuverability to be slightly slower and fatter than the Behemoth. It also adds VRO tags to rear turrets and buffs unique weapons. For X4 players using VRO who want this ship without breaking balance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted patch with 135 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Keeps the Basilisk viable in VRO without breaking the mod's careful balance.
- Buffs hull and weapons to make the ship a real heavy hitter, worth the extra cost.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both VRO and the original Argon Basilisk mod, so you need to install multiple mods.
- The ship is intentionally slower and less agile than the Behemoth, which might not suit players who prefer nimble destroyers.
- Compatibility is tied to VRO's balance; if VRO updates, this patch may need updating too.
For X4 players who use VRO and want to fly the Argon Basilisk without it being overpowered or underpowered. If you're a VRO purist who wants every ship to fit the mod's balance, this is for you. Skip if you don't use VRO or prefer the original ship's stats.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both VRO and the original Argon Basilisk mod installed before adding this patch, and load the patch after both.
- Check the mod's page for any specific load order instructions, as VRO patches often need to be placed correctly in the extension order.
- If you're using the Steam Workshop, subscribe to all three mods and let the game manage the load order automatically.
