X4: Timelines - All Ship Locations + Valuable Cache (No Story Spoilers)

A brief image guide on the locations of all discoverable ships as well as the 'valuable cache' added to the Open Universe through progression in X4: Timelines.

Intro

This guide is free from story spoilers of any kind. It obviously spoils the locations of discoverable ships if you read on, and I added notes with minor gameplay spoilers where appropriate - for those who like to come prepared. :)

I will have a brief description at the end on ships that can't be acquired through normal discovery,
but will not go into detail on how to acquire them.

Be aware that the comment section at the bottom of the guide may have unmarked spoilers in them.

Enjoy!

Cutlass

Location: Heretic's End

Odachi

Location: Getsu Fune

Sapporo

Location: Mists of Artemis
Note: Might be difficult to claim until you have at least one destroyer to bring the Kha'ak hive and its defence platforms down.

Minor Gameplay Spoiler: There may be a hostile Ravager-class destroyer too, so come prepared!

Elite Sport

Location: CEO's Doubt

Kestrel Sport

Location: Freedom's Reach
Minor Gameplay Spoiler: The nav beacons from the screenshot are close to warp anomalies which are connected to one another. Check it out!

Theseus Sport

Location: Moo-Kye's Revenge
Minor Gameplay Spoiler: The Xenon stations may not have turrets, they didn't in my run at least. But there are armed Xenon asteroids that are not visible from the map and radar. Watch your back!

Xenon B

Location: Antigone Memorial

Xenon F

Location: Nopileos' Fortune II

Xenon H

Location: Tharka's Cascade XV
Minor Gameplay Spoiler: The H may not have full equipment, so don't expect it to carry you out of a fight. But if it does - enjoy the fireworks! :)

Valuable Cache

Location: Black Hole Sun V
Notes: The debris I encountered had a loot crate of its own, although it had 'only' two Security Slicers.

Minor Gameplay Spoiler (Reward): The 10-lock cache had four Advanced Seminars for 4-star crew - two for Piloting skill, two for Management skill - and a Kyon Crystal in it. As I've not seen reports of other players yet, I assume the reward is static and the same for all players, but it might be different depending on player progression and other factors.

Other Ships and Outro

There are two other ships that got added to the Open Universe through the DLC - the iconic Xperimental shuttle and the Dart racing ship.
Both of these can only be unlocked by finishing the story of the DLC.

I hope the guide was helpful! Let me know if I missed something. Godspeed!

If you wait for some time, the Xenon will take over Mists of Artemis and clear out the Khaak, so it's easier to collect the Sapporo

@Gestsune Thank you

[Getsune]

@vespaboy2 When you claim these ships, you receive both the ship itself and a new research project from Boso Ta. You will also be notified of this through an entry in the log.

Where do you get the blueprints for the ships once you've got them?

[Getsune]

@Omniburg The Hyperion is part of the Hyperion Pack DLC, and not a part of this guide (which is intended for the rewards of the Timelines DLC).

Once you bought the DLC and acivated it, you will eventually unlock the quest to get it (in normal playthroughs) or by starting the new Hyperion gamestart, which gives you the Hyperion right at the start.

[Omniburg]

How about the Hyperion, how do we get that?

[Getsune]

@Fu$ion It is as ColdRogue26 has said: to unlock these ships, you must own and activate the Timelines DLC and complete the related missions in the Timelines gamemode.

[ColdRogue26]

The ships mentioned here are mainly from the Timelines DLC
Odachi, all 3 sport versions, the cutlass and sapporo, all Timelines

[Fu$ion]

I just tried finding the 2 xenons and Odachi, no go ! ??
The only DLC I don't have is Timelines.
Can anyone confirm if they are still there in 7.5 ?
