📋 About This Mod
This mod provides 3 kitbashes of original X4 ships, the Osaka, Tokyo and Honshu. You can either have them replace the original ships or add them alongside the existing ones (standalone version).
Choose either standalone or replacement variant, not both.
How and why
The models were modified in Blender with its equivalent of ctrl + c and ctrl + v because I'm a noob but at the same time I found the shape of the ships too annoying to just keep playing. Egosoft's models are beautiful and richly detailed but I didn't like some of the choices in their design, therefore I committed this mod. It changes some of their turret placements and dock capacity. Whether this mod makes Terrans more/less overpowered, most likely. I did this so the ships would feel better to me.
The Tokyo now looks like its center of thrust aligns with the center of mass. It also has 2 engines now. However, it has lost its M dock and M ship storage entirely. In my opinion there wasn't enough space in the ship to store M ships and I didn't like how the M dock cut into what I assume to be some kind of engine housing. I increased the forward and backward drag by 2 to compensate the extra engine, it should be as fast as vanilla.
This Osaka looks like the front didn't fall off. The new prow looked a bit barren to me, so additional 8 medium turrets are now on the front of the ship, 4 on top and 4 on bottom. The new internal space has been used to store more missiles, twice as many as in vanilla. I also added one more large turret so the destroyer now has symmetrical turret coverage. The new large turrets sockets have that grey paintjob all large vanilla turret areas have.
The XS/drone hatch that used to be in the middle is now where the bottom middle large turret used to be and the drone waypoints were adjusted accordingly. The structure there still looks rough and I might adjust this at a later time, but nothing crazy, I will just add a few more sides to make the shape smoother.
Lastly, I removed those weird winglets on the sides of the bridge area, they reminded me too much of car spoilers.
The Honshu had the radiator/sail removed and is now symmetrical. The donut/ring/saucer section most terran ships seem to have is sadly no longer perfectly round on this ship. I wish I could make it circular and not look out of place but I lack the Blender skills for that.
Cockpits/bridges and sounds
The cockpit/bridge of the ships has been replaced with the Argon equivalents. The Terran bridges look fine on civilian ships but don't fit in my opinion on military ships. They also look rather dull with only white and black colors and have too much empty space. Argon bridges are more cramped and have more colours, so they don't feel as boring.
The replacement models have proper wrecks. The wreckages should keep the paintjob of the ship before it blew up.
The Terran engine sounds were too loud for me, so I replaced them with hums of engines from Freespace. I also toned down the volume of thrust up and down sounds, so sitting on a brid
