📋 About This Mod
The Python is an XL battleship for the Split factions of Zyarth and the Free Famalies. The name ist related to previous X-games where the Split destroyer/battleship already had this name.
It can be bought at the shipyards of the named factions. The player can also obtain the blueprints of the ship to build it on own shipyards.
The Python also carries mainguns and a were offensive turret layout. The ship was designed for attacking enemies at high speeds (for a battleship...).
Equpiment:
1 XL Mainweapon
2 L Mainweapons
2 XL-Engine
2 XL-Shields
14 L-Turrets
30 M-Turrets
1 M-Landing Pad (without internal storage)
2 S-Landing Pads (with 4 internal storage slots)
Languages:
English
other languages will be added if someone wants to translate ;-)
AI-Usage and Balancing
Additional jobs have been created so the AI uses the Python. The amount is a bit higher because the Split often encounter the Xenon and lose a lot Pythons (at least from my observations)
Prerequisites:
X4: Split Vendetta
X4: Tides Of Averice
Installing:
You just extract the archive into your extensions folder.
It should then look like that: ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_split_python
Compatibility:
Rothank made a VRO-Patch for the ship, if you prefer using it in/with VRO:
Split Python - XL Battleship - 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 to Rothank for making a VRO-Patch ;-)
Split Python - XL Battleship adds a new XL-class battleship for the Split factions in X4: Foundations, featuring heavy weaponry, multiple turrets, and landing pads. It requires the Split Vendetta and Tides of Avarice DLCs, includes AI jobs for faction use, and offers a VRO patch for compatibility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-received by the community with 401 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- Adds a lore-friendly ship that fits the Split fleet, complete with AI usage for immersion.
- Includes detailed equipment loadout and blueprints for player construction.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires two DLCs (Split Vendetta and Tides of Avarice), so it's not for base-game players.
- AI spawns more Pythons than usual, which might unbalance combat encounters.
- Compatibility with other mods is limited; only a VRO patch is provided, so other overhaul mods may conflict.
For X4 players who love flying capital ships and want a new Split battleship with heavy firepower. It's also great for players who enjoy seeing AI factions use new ships in their wars. Skip if you don't own the required DLCs or prefer smaller, more agile ships.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the archive directly into your X4 Foundations extensions folder, ensuring the path looks like ..\X4 Foundations\extensions\lc4hunter_split_python.
- If you use VRO, download the separate VRO patch to ensure the ship's stats are balanced with that overhaul.
- Check the ship's blueprints at Split shipyards to plan your own construction, and note that the M landing pad has no internal storage, so plan your fighter complement accordingly.
