I love this ship. Easily the best design out there.

But may I make the comment that something can't be both "new" and "improved"? it's either/or

Does the mod work for 8x versions of the game?

Hi, I forgot to tell you all about the rather inconvenient bug of the ship. It simply cannot throw out laser towers mark 1.

@MANDRAC I wanted to create my own ship type, and yep it was going to be Patrol Boat :) Thanks glad you like it

I love this. You nailed the patrol boat feel of this ship it's perfect!

@Axeface
Hyperion is too vulnerable to control by the player. The first thing that gets destroyed is the shield. The fun ends abruptly. The cyclops has a shield that is cleverly hidden, and the only problem the cyclops has is if its engine gets blown up. As for combat power, well, yes. 6 guns against 1. However, even if they hit, the pellets knock out the little things. I still choose the cyclops as a combat frigate, and the hyperion is just... a yacht, like an astrid.

@Mistwalker I appreciate the sentiment, thanks very much, but the Hyperion as far as I can see is a monster compared to the Cyclops. Could you elaborate?

Really nice ship

Cyclops - better, more beautiful, more powerful, price free
Hyperion - beautiful... That's it. ~2.99$

Thanks for your mod, this is the best ship for fast and efficient missions of my fleet.

@Faleshar Yes it works fine. I tested it a bit last night.

works with 7.5?

So...when is Egosoft integrating this into the main game? Love it! It's been a part of all my police fleets since the very first version!

i dont need to sub to this if i have this? https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1696862840&searchtext=

I just got this game a while ago and have been lookin up mods. How much is this if you wanna buy it? I'll make it my new target goal in terms of money. Haven't look at the economy much, but I'm guess it's like 10 million or something if it's built in the shipyard.

Fantastic Mod. A+++

Both this one and Kea are awesome. Beyond job well done!

I just stumbled across your Video wuth the Hyperion, its 2 years old, please dont say that you scrapped it, its my favorite ship in the X universe and your Take on it looks really good, please finish it someday :D

Love this ship design and layout. Having an issue with Cruising speed. "Shift 1" dies not affect it's speed. Am I missing something?

This is my favorite ship in the game, amazing work!

I love this ship, it looks gorgeous (for me) and it is very strong I have already destroyed 5 K's and about 100 P's without any problems. Cyclops is good balanced ship not an op that kills Xenon I by one hit, you need to have some time and skill to destroy K or I by Cyclops but it is very nice action. Very well done for you I really like this mod and I can recommend it for everyone

@Aristide1812 I was going to ask that too

Does the More Rooms Mod work with this Ship?

I seem to have issues with this ship. The crew isnt repairing it over time and repair drones arent being launched, even when the ship is idle (i checked and it has repair drones in the loadout)

@Bradeki Thanks for the rundown of your experience with the ship :) Its very nice to hear when people have a great time with my work and makes it worth the time nad effort put into them.

I like this new ship, my main flagship BUT I cannot access ship loadout panel ? I press ENTER and no go

@Heretic [AUT] The only thing not Closed Loop compatible with this MOD is the Main Gun, like EVERY main gun in the base game. And as long as you use Argon equipments, you can use closed loop.

For more efficient production i´m currently trying to get into Closed Loop production, is the Cyclops compatible?

Oh, and for some reason, watching a fleet of these bombard a target with their forward guns reminds me of the Hammerhead cruisers from KOTOR making their assault on the Star Forge, and hearkening back to greatness (intentional or otherwise) is always a good thing in my book. Thank you for your work on this design!

This is a great design! It's pretty zippy for a large, and that main cannon makes it a danger even to XLs while the M turrets keep quite a few fighters off your back. I just took out a K with an entire complement of fighters in this thing before my reaction force could offer any reinforcement. And I'm playing with Xenon Hell and Xenon Unleashed so it wasn't just a couple fighters. That isn't to say the ship is OP, though. It's far squishier than other Large combat ships (literally all of them), so it can't really stand toe-to-toe against any of them on its own, relying on either numbers (for AI pilots) or its agility (Player) to really shine. That K would have absolutely obliterated me if I hadn't kept moving, but I'm fairly confident a handful of Cyclopes could have made short work of it without any losses, even with AI incompetence. If you're looking for a well-balanced frigate with a main cannon that poses at least a moderate threat to any ship size, look no further.

I know it might be of very poor taste to ask things from a modder, so please know I say this with the utmost respect for your work and because I enjoy your style inmensely. My absolute favorite ship in X3, which was my main ship for years, was the Heavy Centaur.
What I liked most, besides its beautiful design, was the fact that it had a back-mounted cocpit from which you could see turrets firing, as well as having front mounted weapons. It was a magnificent design.

If you ever get inclined to, I would love to see your take on that ship.

Cheers!

@Kajar Yeh thats fine

Hello there. I wish to ask a small question because i just wanted to make sure i don't get yelled at later. Because i somehow missed the permission-part of the text.

I have a little overhaul mod that has some built in compatibility with other mods. In this case your ships, Cyclops and Kea. It is just a few lines to change a few values if your ships should be active in someones game. It doesn't include any actual content of yours.

I hope this is fine? If not, i will of course remove those lines again.

Love the ship and the gun! Do you mind to make the main gun blueprint compatible with other L ships by chance? I'd love to try a Syn with 3 of those. :)

My favorite ship!! Love it!

I look forward to seeing more of your ships.

ok , thanks...

@Lorflord Denninard Thanks for the comment :)

@knightphantom420 Yes @enterprise1959 Want to and have plans, but this stuff takes ages and I already have a backlog of ships to finish.

im guessing this is 6.0 compatible?

This is friggin beautiful

can you make a boron ship too

Hello when you add a ship to the game. Split Destroyer Leopard. https://imgur.com/a/bdUZqN7#TFGDH6c

@MajorTom Of will try to keep it as short and concise as possible. Firstly, Open content.xml of the mod you want to change and change the 1st ID entry (id="xxx"). Put whatever you want here, just needs to be different.
Unsubscribe from the mod so steam no longer downloads or changes it.

Install X Tools on steam. Load X Tools > Import catalogue > Game folder > 09.cat > Extract all to a folder of your choice.
The folder will contain 0001-l044.xml. Open with notepad++. Search for "page id="20101" ".
This is the list of ship names and their codes.

Open X Tools > Import Catalogue > Navigate to cyclops mod folder and import ext_01.cat > Extract files to the base argoncyclops folder.
Delete the cat/dat in the mod folder.

Open extensions\axescyclops2\assets\units\size_l\macros\axes_cyclops2_macro.xml (or the file for the old cyclops).
This line controls the name of the ship with the ID codes from the 0001-l044 T file.
Choose the name you want and replace the codes! Save.

@Axeface, I would love to know how to rename ship on my own, I really like the design and want to keep both variants for use.

@MajorTom This approach was decided on for many reasons and carefully considered. If you want instructions on how to rename either of the ships in your game I can do that.

@Axeface, I am using both :) But it would be nice to have different names for different models, so using both mods at the same time would look more natural, instead of 2 Cyclops in the list.

@MajorTom The old one has been updated too! You can use both mods. I did this to specifically allow people that like the old one to use both.

Thanks for great ship design and updates for 6.0!

Can you please include old variation also in next update? It was cool finding to have Cyclops with one-eye plasma cannon in his center. Maybe, name old version Cyclops and new one Sagittarius (like a Centaurus with bow, definitely looks like). Would be nice to have both of those heavy frigates in one fleet.

P.S. I almost can hear Xenon M crying when auto-cannon hit their pathetic hulls!

thank you for the update, love this ship!

@x-act I will investigate this. Its part of modding that isnt well documented though.
