Features

• []Custom XL ship with accessible bridge interiors, animated lighting and wreck parts.[/]

  []Five S docking pads, launch tubes and internal storage for 80 S ships.[/]

  []60 drone capacity.[/]

  []Integrated propulsion and a complete default equipment loadout.[/]

  []Built-in FTL drive with a 12-minute cooldown.[/]

  []A managed Xenon fleet with one active Xenon Basestar at a time.[/]

  []Extension-menu settings for defensive or offensive Xenon deployment.[/]

  []Separate Vanilla and VRO equipment and balancing.[/]

  []Integrated optional compatibility with Xenon Overhaul.[/]

  []English and German text.[/]

The mod creates a Xenon Basestar in a Xenon Core sector when starting or loading a game if none is present. It spawns directly in space rather than requiring construction at a shipyard.

Its initial fleet includes:

• []60 S combat ships docked and covering fighter, heavy fighter, bomber and scout roles.[/]

  []Two Xenon K destroyers.[/]

  []Two P and two PX escorts.[/]

  []40 combat drones, 10 repair drones and 10 cargo drones aboard the Basestar.[/]

  The S ship selection adapts to Vanilla, VRO and Xenon Overhaul where applicable. M escorts operate externally; the Basestar has no M docking facilities.

  Losses within the initial fighter and escort complement are not continuously replenished. If the Basestar is destroyed or captured, the Xenon can receive a replacement after four in-game hours.

  Configurable AI behaviour

  • []Sector defence — default: The Basestar and its fleet patrol Savage Spur I.[/]

    []Offensive operations: Allows deployment outside its home sector, including AI-controlled FTL jumps for offensive operations.[/]

    Select the deployment mode through the extension options menu.

    Player access and FTL

    The Basestar is not sold at regular shipyards. Capture the Xenon ship to acquire it through normal gameplay.

    The FTL drive is built into the ship and remains available after capture. Select your Basestar, open the destination sector and right-click the desired map position to use the FTL context-menu command.

    The ship jumps to the selected coordinates without using gates, with existing X4 capital-ship jump effects. A successful jump starts a 12-minute in-game cooldown. Docked ships travel with the Basestar, and subordinate escorts can follow.

    Optional Safe Cheat Panel compatibility is included for testing and spawning.

    Vanilla and VRO specifications

    Values below use the complete default loadout. Speeds are rounded.

    Vanilla has no missile launchers or missile ammunition. Heavy missile armament is provided exclusively by the VRO patch.
