"Only very recently developed, the Argon Leviathan is the current apex of Argon military technology, found patrolling core Argon sectors that require the most impenetrable defence. For combat ships of such a large calibre, the Leviathan packs well rounded characteristics. It boasts an impressive array of weaponry, fitting 6 already advanced Behemoth main batteries for an amount of forward firepower that will make its capital adversaries shudder. The surface of the Leviathan is bristling with an extensive array of turrets rendering small fighter incursions against the Leviathan practically inconsequential, and simultaneously augments the Leviathan's anti capital capability. The Leviathan is essentially an expansive mobile fortress, and any force brave enough to assault this beast should conduct attacks with extreme caution."
I have attached a screenshot as an overview of the ships stats with a loadout of L plasma, M pulse turrets. The Leviathan is currently balanced for the VANILLA version of X4: Foundations. VRO version is currently being tested by the mod author Shuulo, and this ship is expected to be balanced and released for VRO with the next VRO update. (Probably when 5.00 comes out of beta as an official update.) Please also note that this ship will be renamed to 'Corona' in VRO.
Yes, I am aware of a problem related to the docking areas, whereby a player cannot cross from small landing pads to medium ones. This is because I haven't figured out how to create a custom dockarea layout for the ship. The next ship I publish wont have this issue, as I have planned to use a dockarea that already exists in the base game. If I ever find out how to create a custom dock area, I will definitely come back and update this one to solve this issue.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the ship in the comments section. I hope you enjoy the ship as much as I have enjoyed making it! :-)
