Ship description

"Only very recently developed, the Argon Leviathan is the current apex of Argon military technology, found patrolling core Argon sectors that require the most impenetrable defence. For combat ships of such a large calibre, the Leviathan packs well rounded characteristics. It boasts an impressive array of weaponry, fitting 6 already advanced Behemoth main batteries for an amount of forward firepower that will make its capital adversaries shudder. The surface of the Leviathan is bristling with an extensive array of turrets rendering small fighter incursions against the Leviathan practically inconsequential, and simultaneously augments the Leviathan’s anti capital capability. The Leviathan is essentially an expansive mobile fortress, and any force brave enough to assault this beast should conduct attacks with extreme caution."

AI Support

Upon creating a new game, one Leviathan will be added to the Argon Prime patrol fleet.
The mod also creates a patrol job for the Leviathan to conduct in argon sectors. The argon economy has a target to create 3 Leviathans, and will consider culling any excess. If you have any other mods installed that are classed as battleships for the Argon Federation, they may take the Leviathans place if that’s what your game decides to do.
Please note that there is a very large hull part cost to creating a Leviathan, and it may take a while for the shipyard to stockpile enough resources to build.

The Leviathan is currently balanced for the VANILLA version of X4: Foundations.

VRO

The Leviathan is already part of the base VRO mod as of 21/03/2022. If you have installed VRO, you will have the Leviathan in game. Please also note that the Leviathan is renamed to Corona in VRO.

Known Issues

I am aware of a problem related to the docking areas, whereby a player cannot cross from small landing pads to medium ones. This is because I haven’t figured out how to create a custom dockarea layout for the ship. The next ship I publish wont have this issue, as I have planned to use a landing pad layout that already exists in the base game. If I ever find out how to create a custom dock area, I will definitely come back and update this one to solve this issue.

I’m happy to answer any questions you have about the ship in the comments section. I hope you enjoy the ship as much as I have enjoyed making it! 🙂
