Credit
A massive thank you to the Egosoft X4 modding discord community that helped make this ship possible, you guys are the real MVPs! Thanks to Luca for helping with the nerf to acceleration! Thanks to the VRO discord community for advice and balancing the ship for VRO.

Ship description
"Following its significant success in the Terran Conflict era, the iconic shape and tail of the Split Tiger had gained a fearsome reputation among members of the community of planets. During the great Jump-gate shutdown, Family Zyarth's ship designers were eager to reforge this popular design into an intimidating battleship class vessel, ready to decimate any who opposed them when – or if – the Jump-gates realigned.

However, similarly to the discontinued Python, the Tiger was never put into standard issue use, due to excessive costs involved in strengthening the integrity of the tail structure, which had become
fragile when constructed at a larger scale, therefore never seeing mass production. Some finished models of the Tiger were still built, and can still occasionally be seen patrolling Zyarth / Curb territory - mostly to flex Zyarth's military might and the Tiger’s glorious history, rather than to see combat action. "


Ship Equipment Slots
  • 6x L Engines
  • 1x Gharial Internal Shield Generator
  • 1x XL Shield Generator
  • 16x L Turrets
  • 12x M Turrets
  • 1x M Landing Pad (3x M Internal Storage)
  • 2x S Landing Pads (10x S Internal Storage)

This version of the Tiger is balanced for VRO.
The basic overview of the Tiger balance for VRO is that it is similar to a Gharial, except it trades the vast majority of its Medium turrets, for more Large ones. This also comes with a slight reduction in speed and manoeuvrability. This was my first attempt at balancing a ship for VRO, let me know what you think about the balance, and thanks for your patience!

AI Support
AI Support has been added for the Zyarth Patriarchy and Curbs main patrol carriers to add a Tiger to their wing.
Additionally, Patrol ships should be created dynamically for both Zyarth and Curbs in your game

Known Issues
Currently no known issues.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the ship in the comments section.
Really happy with how this ship turned out, I hope you enjoy it, if it's to your taste. :-) <3

I don't understand why so many of these large ships have their turret numbers reduced for VRO. The raptor still has over 70 M turrets. Why nerf this things M turrets by 2/3?

Nice!

NOW FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH X4:FOUNDATIONS 6.0

-UPDATED COLLISION MESH FILES. Fully compatible with new Jolt engine.

Landing pads are no longer obstructed by outdated collision files.
Ship can now take proper shield and hull damage from shots that hit the main body of the ship.

I know this update took a while, thanks everyone for your patience. Please spread the word that these ships are now compatible again with people you think you might enjoy them again!

1. Stat wise it looks a bit weaker than the Ghavial.
2. 25km railguns?! WHERE! XD

I have had my game modded since ToA came out, and have got ToA related achievements so I think you should do
Tholi Jul 13, 2022 @ 2:20pm 
Do I still get achievements when I install the mod?

Currently one of my favorite ships. I use the Tiger mostly for heavy duty combat versus Xenon fleets and stations. Main weapons are Railguns with up to 25km range (VRO, remember).

Recommended ship for VRO. It gives the Split their teeth back!

Hi, It's me nagging again, but can you upload the VRO version of this mod on Nexus? Currently there is only non-VRO one avaliable.
Argon_Matt  [author] Jun 6, 2022 @ 2:14pm 
@Richy Its the sketchfab page for the model that's balanced for the vanilla version of the game. Kinda excessive to upload a whole new sketchfab model just for a VRO balanced version, especially when the stats in the description are accurate anyway..

where are the 8x Front/Midship Main Batteries? :steamfacepalm:
