✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap – Boron players finally have options for station assault (135 endorsements).
- Adds a solid variety: 10 turrets and 7 weapons across all sizes.
- Lightweight and straightforward – no complex mechanics to learn.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds weapons – no new ships or rebalancing, so it's a narrow fix.
- Last updated June 2026 – might not be compatible with future game patches.
- Potential balance issues – new weapons could be overpowered or underpowered without tweaks.
For X4 players who main the Boron faction and feel their ship loadouts are lacking, especially for taking down stations. If you're a Boron purist who wants more variety in your turrets and guns, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for new ships or major gameplay overhauls – this is purely a weapon pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check the in-game encyclopedia to see the new weapons' stats before equipping them.
- Test the new turrets on a station assault mission to see how they perform against capital ships.
- If you use other weapon mods, check load order to avoid conflicts with Boron weapons.
