📋 About This Mod
NOT compatible with VRO 5. 0 yet,
will be updated IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
The Megalodon is an XL battleship for the Borons.
It can be bought at the boron shipyard(s). As usual, you can also buy the blueprints for the ship and build it on your own at your shipyards.
The ships comes without a main gun. It relies completely on its turrets and its strong shields - so every L-turret is protected by its own L-shield generator.
Equipment:
4 Boron XL-Engines
4 Boron XL-Shields
16 L-Turrets (6 high-energy)
24 M-Turrets
1 M-Landing Pad (without internal storage)
2 S-Landing Pads (with 4 internal storage slots)
Languages:
AI-Usage and Balancing:
Lc's job from vanilla version of the mod has been removed.
VRO's original Megalodon has been entirely replaced. Existing "old" Megalodons will persist until destroyed, while all new ones will spawn with this model.
Prerequisites:
X4: Kindoms End
Installing:

Special Thanks:
Lc4Hunter - the original mod author - AMAZING work on the new addition.
Entissus - figuring out and altering both Lc's and VRO's jobs to work correctly and wihout overlap. Without Enti, Roth wouldn't know left from right :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 168 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Adds a unique XL battleship with a distinct design and heavy turret loadout
- Integrates with VRO's balancing, replacing the old Megalodon for new spawns
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with VRO 5.0 yet, so you're stuck on older VRO versions until the update drops
- Requires both X4: Kingdoms End and VRO, so it's not for vanilla players
- Existing old Megalodons persist until destroyed, which might cause visual inconsistency if you have a fleet
For X4 players who run VRO and want a fresh, powerful Boron battleship to command. If you're on VRO 5.0 or don't use VRO, skip this until the patch updates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base VRO mod installed first, then extract this patch into your extensions folder.
- If you're on VRO 5.0, hold off on installing until the author updates the patch—otherwise you'll run into compatibility issues.
- Since the ship has no main gun, focus your turret groups on anti-capital and anti-fighter roles to maximize its shield tanking.
