📋 About This Mod
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 maingun. It relies completely of its turrets and its strong shields - so every L-turret is protected by its own L-shield generator.
Equpiment:
4 Boron XL-Engines
4 Boron XL-Shields
16 L-Turrets
24 M-Turrets
1 M-Landing Pad (without internal storage)
2 S-Landing Pads (with 4 internal storage slots)
Languages:
English
AI-Usage and Balancing
Additional jobs have been created so the AI uses the Megalodon. The amount is low because the ship is very strong and the boron space isnt that big. So 1... 2 ships are enough.
Prerequisites:
X4: Kindoms End
Installing:
You just extract the archive into your extensions folder.
It should then look like that: ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_boron_megalodon

Special Thanks:
I would like to thank the whole X4-Modding community on the forums and the Discord for their support! You are great!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 440 endorsements and over 24k downloads, showing solid player interest.
- Unique design: no main gun but heavy turret coverage and per-turret shields make it a tanky brawler.
- Includes AI integration so you'll see these ships in Boron space, not just your own fleet.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Kingdoms End DLC, so it's not for base-game-only players.
- No main gun means it's weak against fast, agile targets that can outmaneuver turret tracking.
- VRO patch is separate and not included, so VRO users need to grab that extra file.
For X4 players who love capital ship combat and want a Boron-flavored tank that shrugs off damage. Also for fleet builders who enjoy designing loadouts around turrets. Skip if you prefer ships with a big main gun or if you don't own Kingdoms End.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the archive directly into your X4 Foundations extensions folder, ensuring the path looks like ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_boron_megalodon.
- If you use the VRO overhaul mod, download the separate VRO patch for compatibility.
- Since the ship has no main gun, set turret behavior to 'Attack All Enemies' to maximize its defensive firepower.
