X3 Boron Shipset

Description
The Continuation of the X3 Project!

The Boron set includes every Boron ship from X3 Albion Prelude, plus a few ships created by the amazing X3 mod community. Some die hard egosoft fans may also recognise the Juggernaut model!

A few more station models have yet to be ported, but will be ported in future updates.

Please check out my Teladi shipset while your here! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2088717607

Compatibility

NSC2 Seasons 5 & 6

I highly recommend running NSC2 with this mod, so much so I almost feel like making it a requirement. The mod runs on Vanilla, but with half the ships.

Downscaled ships not compatible (yet)

A downscaled ships patch will be made when I get time. Working on the main mod a lot at the minute.

The X3 Mod

The main mod project is finally here! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2425618897
This includes Teladi, Boron, Argon, Split and Paranid.
This is a WIP mod. If you plan to use this mod, do not run with the Boron/Teladi standalone sets.

Known Issues

- Construction vessel has no engines
- Giga Cannon introduced in NSC2 seasons 6 will show unwanted model (will be fixed in next update)
- Battlecruiser section introduced in NSC2 seasons 6 shows fallback option in designer window, however does not affect the look of ship (fixed in next update)

Please let me know of any problems which I can address in the next update!

Credits go to @Egosoft, for all models and textures.

I saw a mod that let you choose ingame in a menu your current shipset, so you'd be able to switch inbetween several shipsets during your game. If that is possible, i would guess you could also link a switch to your xenon shipset to a quest event or a relic. Would be cool for a machine empire quest line(maybe indifferent if machnine empire) that you'd get the option to switch from your current shipset to another because you found that super artifact that gives your ships a new nanobot coating with a x% of regenerative hull & armor effect, but it also changes the appearance. Maybe if not a machine empire, any fleshling leaders currently asigned to ships or transport fleets would die ^^.

@kinngrimm I actually already started working on them, was trying to figure out a cool way to make them an optional shipset but also a fallen empire. Will probably just be released as a shipset though (when I get more time to work on porting them again)

Yeah I can teach, although depending on what game the initial export and import process is always a little bit different

i know how to use maya and max but dont know how to port models. Are you offering to teach?

Just... brilliant !!!! Thank you for this !

X3 had the best looking ships in the franchise....

@Brother Salt Much appreciated! If you have 3ds max and maya I'd be happy to teach you some of the process if your happy with getting repetitive strain injury ;) Terran and ATF are sort of back of the queue, they will be later updates for the main x3 mod. It will release initially with Teladi, Boron, Paranid, Argon and Split. Then I'll build it up from there :)

Thanks for the hard work, if I could do ports i'd help out. Here's hoping for ATF/Terran.

@MaxToxinNo2 That will be something that I'll do eventually. I'll be rebuilding both this shipset and the Teladi shipset when working on the next mod, I'll probably do it then and copy the new files over. In the meantime I'm just working on a few little pesky fixes on both shipsets

These look very nice, and NSC compatibility is always a plus. A small issue I have though is the weapon origin point being in the same spot, but that's a minor nitpick. All in all, I like it.
