@TheShooter36 Thank you for making this. It looks amazing.

I cant wait to make this the core of my fleet but sadly it is sidelined until the internal generator is added since there is basically no shield recharge on it. I bet you can just point the IG to the Raptor one and it should be good if you dont want to create your own. Granted I dont know enough on the coding part of X4 to know if that is possible.

I looked for a way to fix this, but due to my lack of knowledge, I couldn't understand it well.
So please update if possible...

Really needs an update

I'll update it with correct tags when I have the time for it. Soon™

Well, I still can build the prowler ( though trying to save a preset wont work when you try to load it back in somehow ) just without the internal generator, it is severally at disadvantage compared to other ships with an IG

Here's the fix until mod is updated:

Using XTools(available on the Egosoft forum) extract the .cat file into mod directory, then delete those cat\dat files

To fix the missing internal shield - delete "mandatory" tag from connection in ..\prowler_vro\assets\props\SurfaceElements\ishield_spl_xl_carrier_prwl.xml
Note: the ishield icon will be missing, too much hassle to add it.

As for the engine shield - add "standard" tag to con_shieldgen_m_001 connection in ..\prowler_vro\assets\units\size_xl\ship_spl_xl_carrier_prwl.xml

I concur on the missing internal generator for the VRO version. There is no choice for it, even if you have the blueprint and trying to build it yourself.

thanks!:steamthumbsup:
Baugoti 13 Jun, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
for some reason.. when I try to buy this.. or build it (not using one of your starts), the internal shield generator and the engine shields show only empty. I have the blueprint for both.. and just buying from the faction does not fill those slots as well.

maybe you should do a refit of the boron heavy carrier and make it a battlecarrier with a custom game start like what you did with the Split....maybe??
BIGGIE_slim XD 7 Jun, 2023 @ 10:28pm 
YEEEAAAAHHHH LEZDUIT! I just got bored of using the boron carrier and now i get this gem back
TheShooter36  [author] 6 Jun, 2023 @ 4:40pm 
Updated for 6.0, the Battlecarrier is back!
Giaco_304 24 May, 2023 @ 7:38am

Africa Commander 3 May, 2023 @ 11:39am 
this is the best battleship , but cannot use on 6.0 + VRO4.0.
we need you update, please.
Horrifer 2 May, 2023 @ 3:33pm 
We need the best Carrier back ^^ Can you update this one ? please
Richy 30 Apr, 2023 @ 12:38am 
Update???

Can you update ship Prowler
TheShooter36  [author] 9 Dec, 2021 @ 3:43am 
@NerevarBrand I kept the single engine intentionally to keep one weakness of the ship. If Ps are becoming a problem, you should assign some fighters to protect your ship. The Prowler is a formidable ship, yet it is not designed to go alone.
NerevarBrand 3 Dec, 2021 @ 4:49pm 
I love this ship, but i got to admit a love/hate situation regarding its engine as i have been rendered motionless multiple times due to "P's" taking potshots with missiles at it leaving me very vulnerable to P/K/Q/I/V wolfpacks.

Any chance of adding an extra engine or adding some protection to the engine?

Either way, nice ship and keep 'em coming.

@ TheShooter36 Can you make an Experimental Maccanaw from X3 please?
TheShooter36  [author] 18 Sep, 2021 @ 2:41pm 
@Shadowfox There will not be a non-VRO version. I play with VRO, try Serenity Supercarrier mod for your non-VRO needs perhaps
saglhauns 18 Sep, 2021 @ 8:53am 
@TheShooter36 oh yeah i love those ships
Shadowfox 18 Sep, 2021 @ 8:29am 
non VRO version?
TheShooter36  [author] 18 Sep, 2021 @ 7:30am 
@saglhauns try XR ship pack with VRO patch for battleships on Split
saglhauns 18 Sep, 2021 @ 6:41am 
Well a vanilla Asgard one shots everything anyway. For VRO i would prefer a balanced battleship raptor version. Only turrets an no shiphangar. I never liked the idea of main guns on battleships and the elite asgard and serenety are just too much. But nice work anyway
TheShooter36  [author] 17 Sep, 2021 @ 4:11pm 
@Ryzer Good that this is somewhat well received. I plan to add 4 L turrets and 12 M turrets more top side but those will be lesser shielded compared to the bottom ones. And yes, I saw Serenity, I saw it was not available for VRO and I set out to make my own Raptor. It is absolutely inspired by Serenity. Except I ended up with custom sounds for my guns, made a custom start plus some unique things for that start.

@Meme Turtle, no one said this is "balanced" for VRO. It is made with VRO in mind and it is mostly "balanced" against the "uber ship" Asgard variants out there, like Ragnarok and Asgard Elite, you will also see that they are much better shielded compared to what we got here, as well as much better player controlled firepower. Prowler is still a carrier and it could be beaten by a regular Asgard or Asgard + 2 Syn I am pretty sure.
Ryzer 17 Sep, 2021 @ 12:12pm 
Turtle Meme...you must read the comments carefully! If you notice, in the "comment" no one talks about being balanced for the VRO, what is said is that it is better crafted for the VRO than Serenety!

She is compared to Serenety, which in my case is very low compared to the capitals of the XR
Ship Pack VRO, as she only has 590,000 hull and the same in shield!

I play with mods Xenon Hell or Xenon Awakening!

Here no one uses cheats or god modes!

Remember, this game is a space sandbox!
Meme Turtle 17 Sep, 2021 @ 2:54am 
>>>balanced for VRO
It's not. It's one of those uber ships that completely breaks game balance: vanilla or vro. You might as well get cheat mod and enable god mode.
Ryzer 16 Sep, 2021 @ 3:27pm 
I was looking for a replacement for the Serenety Battlecarrier, I notice that the VRO version will never come out, as it is my ship of choice for almost 2,000 hours.

This one already seems to be more balanced for VRO, Thanks for this version!

- This leyaut is quite good for base attacks, being able to stay on top of them, due to the firepower that comes from its belly, but it would be good to remove 6 L turrets from the belly and put them on top like in Serenety, because she it will still have a lot of power underneath but also add firepower on top in front of the shields, which seems unprotected to me and gives more enjoyment when we're at war to pilot it!

You could make the other version too, this one for attacking bases and the other one with the change I said for a more general attack!
Would this variant of Prowler be possible?

But I liked having another version of Raptor, the best capital of X4 ; )

Thanks
