Argon Cyclops (2020 version)

This mod adds a new frigate to Argon shipyards, the Cyclops. When starting this project my aim was to make an updated design of the Argon Centaur from X3, taking design cues from it while updating it for X4's Argon aesthetic.

"Fondly referred to as the 'Centaur II' by its captains due to a close resemblance to archaic Argon designs, the Cyclops was developed as a response to increasing Xenon fighter swarm activity. Sporting excellent speed for its size and bristling with tightly grouped anti-fighter turret systems it is an effective anti-fighter escort for larger capital ships. It's speed also makes the Cyclops perfect for exploration and reconnaissance activities and it has therefore become the go-to vessel for Argon secret service operations."

The ship is designed as a fast anti-fighter capital ship and weighs in at around 1/3 the size of a Behemoth. While it is designed for anti-fighter activities and exploration, in skilled hands it is more than capable of running rings around dangerous enemies such as the Xenon K (literally).

I have added the ship to the Argon faction so you may see 1 or 2 of them flying around on patrol.



Weapons: 1 Behemoth main gun, 16 M sized turrets.
Sheilding: 1 L
Docks: 1 S dock, 2 S storage, 6 drone capacity.
Speed: 225 m/s max speed on Argon engines.
