ARGON CYCLOPS - Deluxe Edition
This mod adds a new L Frigate to the Argon shipyards. An updated and improved version of my old Argon Cyclops and is intended as a replacement to the old mod. The ship comes with new improved visuals over the old version, improved balance and a new bespoke weapon unique to 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.
LACERATOR AUTOCANNON
In this version the Cyclops get's its own bespoke weapon. The Lacerator Autocannon fires tightly-packed cluster ammunition and feels great to fire. I wanted to make something that is balanced yet feels brutal to fire and is themed towards anti-fighter warfare without being terrible against capitals. I think i've achieved that. The Autocannon does similar dps to the Behemoth main battery - but you only have one and it has a slight spread - this spread means that you often get a hit on fighters that you wouldnt normally hit and it is still capable of tackling capitals if the need arises.
A huge thank you to Shuulo for the original shotgun mod I used to build and balance this!
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.

FAQ!
Q. I have the old version of the ship installed, what do I do?
A. This mod adds a completely new ship, it has the same name in-game as the old one but is entirely separate. If you wish to continue to use the old ship you can do so, but I recommend selling up all your old ones and removing the old mod. This mod is intended as a replacement and AFAIC it is vastly superior in both quality and fun.
Q. VRO compatible?
A. This ship is included in VRO, do not use this mod if you play with VRO.
Q. Supported languages? (For ship, new translations needed for Autocannon).
A. English, Russian, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean.
Russian translation by Magnesiafire.
Japanese translation by Arkblade.
French translation by Waric.
Spanish translation by my Mrs.
Korean translation by initial427.
Feel free to send me translation files for other languages.
Thank you to Egosoft for the new tools and their continued development of X4. The learning process for the new tools took some time and a lot of patience but I'm sure that the future is bright for X4 modding. Special thank you to Shuulo and Linolafett for their continued help.
