[Fighter Blueprint] Xenon L M3 [X3]
The Xenon L is a heavy fighter (M3) that, until recently, was the pinnacle of Xenon fighter design. Capable of mounting a wide variety of weapons (including the deadly Pulsed Beam Emitter), the L packs a disproportionate punch for its size, though its meager generator capacity reduces its effectiveness in prolonged engagements. The L has been feared for many years by vulnerable trade ships passing near Xenon sectors, which it can catch and cut apart effortlessly. Though the Xenon have recently begun phasing out production of the L in favor of the LX, which outclasses it in every way, a sizeable quantity of L’s still haunt the Commonwealth and likely will continue to do so for many years to come.

This design is based off of the X3:TC version of the L. At exactly 200 blocks, there is still a fair bit of fine detail that I simply didn’t have the blocks to do. I decided to prioritize the overall shape of the ship, and I feel that it’s recognizable for what it is.
Screenshots (besides the auto-generated preview image) show fighters at true scale – when you use this blueprint to produce fighters, that’s the level of detail you can expect from the final product.
This ship is intended for use as a fighter blueprint, as it lacks the critical ship components necessary for player control.
Suggested weapons: Like the LX, lasers best approximate the ship’s most iconic Pulsed Beam Emitter loadout, though the L was capable of mounting other weapons best approximated by the launcher, plasma gun, chaingun, and pulse cannon.
