📋 About This Mod
The Boann is an advanced miner which is used by the different Argon related factions.
It is the largest mining vessel so far and features a larger then usual cargobay. But this all has it´s price.
It can be bought at the specific shipyards. Same is for their blueprints, so you can build the ships on your own at your shipyards.
The mineral miner version also features a new mining turret which is slightly more efficient then the normal ones. To keep it balanced, this turret can only be used on the Boann.
As you maybe notice, the Boann is a ship from X-Rebirth. This is NO port. Of course its based on the Boann from Rebirth, but its a completly new model, created for X4.
Equipment:
4 L-Engines
3 L-Shields
2 L-Mining Turrets (Mineral Miner only)
11 M-Turrets
2 S-Landing Pads (with 4 ships internal storage)
1 S-Launchtube for faster deployment and recovery of mining drones
Languages:
English
AI-Usage and Balancing
The ship has been added to the relevant shipgroups which allows the AI to use the ship. As it is an expansive vessel, it´s rarely used.
Prerequisites:
There is no need for any DLC to be present, but as always, i recommend to have all DLCs of X4, as it is the base of the mods development.
Installing:
You just extract the archive into your extensions folder.
It should then look like that: ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_argon_boann
Compatibility:
Thanks to lolwut2506, there is a VRO patch:
Boann VRO Patch
Special Thanks:
I would like to thank the whole X4-Modding community on the forums and the Discord for their support! You are great!
And of course the designer of the original Boann, which i used to create the ship.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (10,599) shows real interest from the community.
- Two variants cover both gas and mineral mining, so you get options.
- Recent update means it's likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 169 endorsements—decent but not a community favorite.
- No detailed feature list, so you're going in blind on stats and loadouts.
- Potential conflicts with other ship mods that alter L-class mining vessels.
For X4 players who want dedicated heavy miners without hunting for blueprints or building their own. If you're tired of using universal miners and want specialized L-class ships, this is worth a look. Skip if you prefer vanilla ships or want detailed stats before downloading.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to extract the mod into your extensions folder, not the main game directory.
- Check the mod's forum thread for any notes on balancing or compatibility with other ship mods.
- If you're using other ship mods, load order might matter—place this one after to avoid conflicts.
