X3 ATF/USC Ship Pack (VRO)

>>Non-VRO version here<<

>>Nexus version here<<[www.nexusmods.com]


All the ships have been updated to utilize the recent 7.50 flight model updates.

Performance will be the next major focus as I need to optimize the jolt collisions for the larger ships to reduce the performance impact on lower-end systems and hopefully resolve the possible crashing when near the Valhalla or Kyoto.


This mod is largely a WORK IN PROGRESS; several things still need updating and fixing so expect things to change here and there. Fixes will take priority over adding new ones so please be patient when it comes to new ships :).


- Despite the new docking system, some of the stuff regarding it remains a mystery and I am still looking for the cause of the weird AI behavior for the Kyoto's docks.

- Some areas of the ships might not have complete collisions. Due to how difficult it is to create the right ones, sometimes I have to cut some corners to get around it.

- The Odin and the Kyoto are a bit too wide for the XL fabrication bay; while you can build them there, I suggest you let them undock in OOS.

*Ship is not part of the base X3:R/TC/AP/FL game




Verdandi
As my first attempt at "porting" an S/M ship to X4, the iteration of the Verdandi fighter in X4 is not of great quality as it involves a lot of modeling stuff to get right. The fighter will most likely not get any major changes from this point until I can recreate it from scratch due to the process involved in making such ships.

Currently as it stands, the ship has no proper entrance/exit, broken AI pathing inside, and no proper wreck but besides those, it is perfectly functional.

TO EXIT THE SHIP, crouch towards the cockpit panel and exit through the windshield. (If you're having trouble, try following this[imgur.com])

TO ENTER THE SHIP, either Shift+D or use the spacesuit dock located below the cockpit.


Scale
As you might have noticed, the scale of most of the ships are vastly larger compared to the X4 ships; this is due to how differently both games are scaled so I had to downscale the large X3 ships by 50% to X4. Putting them on a similar scale proved to be hard with module placements as they are not meant to have surface modules.


Ship sizes
Since 6.00, the Kyoto is capable of traversing the gates thanks to convex hulls. The Valhalla on the other hand is a hit or miss - sometimes it can fit, sometimes it can't. On certain cases, it can jump but will get stuck on the gate (just like in X3).

To counter this, you could let the AI pilot it through them, or use the following mod below that disables collision for gates, accelerators, and superhighways:

Valhalla
The Valhalla's size makes it weird to be able to be built on XL bays and even dock on some piers. To solve these problems, I made an "XXL-sized" fabrication bay where it will only be able to dock and be built.

The Valhalla also uses a custom engine, which blueprints would need to be bought alongside the ship blueprint to create a functioning ship.

The Valhalla only supports construction and docking for repairs/upgrades on its own Valhalla Fabrication Bay. As a result, it cannot dock to any pier anymore except for stations that have the bay.

To get the ship to dock, you can order the AI captain to dock it as it may not work if the player does it (you can try this out on a station with an XL fab only on an XL ship).

NOTE: You can start construction of the Valhalla on a shipyard without the fab HOWEVER it will not be built unless you have its fabrication bay.


Skirnir Missile Barrage
Is it as OP as it was in X3TC? No, but it is definitely OP by X4 standards ;)




As always, thanks to the people in the Egosoft discord for helping me out with my endless messages and problems. Without them, I would still be stuck figuring out the tons of problems that will further delay this project.

Special thanks to aurum, UniTrader, Shuulo, TheShooter36, Axeface, DeadAir, and many more for their extensive help with the various difficulties and other stuff that I cannot do on my own. Honestly there are too many people to list!

Credit also goes Cadius for their version of the Odin that I used for this mod
