X4 Question - Shiptypes

mcjomar · Post by **mcjomar** » Tue, 26. Sep 17, 11:36

So I'm still watching the X4 Presentation on youtube, and one of my questions is regarding shiptypes.

In the video, the Argon Nova (previously an M3 class heavy fighter) is classified as an S-class ship now. Have we lost the M5 and M4 class ships (recon and medium, respectively) from the game in this era now?

The Q&A thread at the top of the forum wrote:Will X4 have ship designations like M5, M3, TL, TS, M1, M2 back to easily identify different types of ships without having to memorize all ship names?
At the moment we are still using the S/M/L/XL designations. Whether this will change or not remains to be seen.

So does that mean (for now) that Discoverer, Buster, and Nova are all classed as S-class Argon vessels?
Thanks!

If you read what CBJ posted, it means "nobody knows yet".

Wait and see, its up to the devs to decide is SML is a good enough description, or if M5 M4 M3 etc should make a comeback. Or even if they decide on a new classification scheme (such as DD for destroyer etc)

Until we learn more about ship classifications and how they interact with the game map and player situational awareness, please use the related thread here for further discussion/speculation. Thanks!
