ZH-40 Ship Review! + Dev Sneak peeks! X4: Star Wars 0.63 | Urik

Well hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to x4 with the Star Wars mod. Today we are going to do a couple of things. Yes, we have a boat

review

coming up, but I also want to talk about a boat that I'm very excited about. and of course, I'm talking about the ebon hawk if you're not familiar with what the evan hawk is and you need to go back and play

star

wars

an ico republic one and two uh, it's the

ship

that you're going to be using throughout the entire series um mick has gone way above and beyond in the amount of detail and just the eye of detail that he put into this

ship

, I mean it's almost like we're going a little bit like Star Wars The Limit is nice, the only public remake that it's being done here because the quality and fidelity is absolutely stunning, so we'll look straight at it,

star

ting with the ramp going up, so yeah, we've got this nice little red glow going up. for the ramp and ah, this gives you that kind of atmosphere that you want from your personal little ship here.

I'm really curious to see what kind of stats we're going to have for this ship, before we continue. In the screenshots, yeah, I want to talk a little bit about that. I'm really curious to see what the stats are. I want to know how fast it will go, what the travel speed is, what the acceleration is, what kind of weapons it can mount. I'm really really excited to see what we can do with the ship, so continuing with more screenshots here, it's like coming up from the ramp, here's the opening entrance and as you go to the left, we have this little and nice Cargo room here, keep going and then we'll start going to the center of the actual ship and it's like the amount of detail it has for this ship is absolutely crazy, it's like I even put in the medical room oh man.

Hk-47 standing right outside, if only, we should probably try to get Mick to position the hk47 as if it were an idle standing model, you know, like droids, anyway, it's like we have some nice screenshots of the room of machines, I mean. It looks like we're playing Star Wars in public ico, but here at X4 Foundations, oh my gosh, it's so pretty, so we have more screenshots here and here's the outside of the ship. She is beautiful here in Star.

wars

uh x4 star someone says star wars is a good public sail um but because this ship is coming in the next patch and I want to talk about it so much we will see the 40 year old zh40 set I think which will be nice. close and comparable in stats to the evan hawk, i think the avahak will probably be able to surpass him in both shield turning speed and firepower, i think the evan hawk will be able to take the kick, but i also want to know what kind of capability of cargo it can have, what kind of deployable capability can it have, will it have missile launchers, um, those are all questions that we need to see if we can have answers to, but we won't know until we get our hands on it, but anyway let's go ahead and look at the zh40, let's go ahead and jump in here, ladies and gentlemen, zh40, we're actually on the best band, a couple of ships taking off anyway, let's go ahead and walk over to it, yeah. very impressive model and it also has a pretty good set of weapons and it's just a transporter, but I want to see what kind of things we can do, what kind of problems we can cause with this thing now that we're not in another space, we could We could try to see some other things that people were a little worried about getting into.

Let's continue looking at the ship here. It's like I love the look of this boat. This boat is really cool and the interior is even more impressive. Yes, Mick did very. Very exceptional job on this model, from the landing gear to the engines and everything else, like oh man, she is just beautiful, it's like all the little details, like the wiring on the sides, man, she is very, very beautiful, let's go ahead and walk towards it. very fast, a couple of things I have noticed about the boat is that it actually handles very very well for a transporter and also has a good carrying capacity, yes a completely custom interior and I think it looks great inside , uh, we have a little bit of free space here, but there's really nothing here except for, you know, a little canister right there, um, but on the other side, we actually have our artillery control seat here, we have a nice little terminal here, like I said, it's like the amount of detail that Nick put into this ship was absolutely impressive, so let's go ahead and take it for a spin and then we'll start looking at the stats, something else too if you don't have seen before. uh station free city stations they look so good it's like all the docking platforms and everything yeah it looks amazing so now we're gaining some speed as its turning speed seems pretty good and it's like you're running with it in combat it's like it's tone is actually really good for a ship this size so we have three cannons on board and like good rate of fire it also has some power behind it it also has a turret at the top and has an AG. uh a2 uh sorry a2 g2 I think that's what it's called, we'll see, but yeah, it's like your engine set, like the lighting, now another thing that I've noticed with this boat is that, if you guys like to run your logos custom and you want to have your custom logos on this boat, yes there is no custom logo on the boat anywhere, yes she is pretty, she actually handles pretty well, I really like the boat so let's go ahead and take a look A look.

The stats as we're sitting here sailing are okay, so the current ship that we have now is, let's go ahead and pull it up like this, ship overview, there we go okay so you can see its speed, 290, acceleration 80. So, its acceleration. it's a little slow the boost speed 871 isn't that bad especially for a transporter it has 5800 storage containers uh the forward acceleration is actually quite high 39 and its commercial speed is 40 meters per second so which can actually hold up pretty well uh yaw is only 19 in combat but pitch 40.2 yaw 43.8 for an m class which is actually pretty impressive yeah the ag2g that's what I was trying to think, so as you can see, we have one hs10 heavy laser cannon, two kx7, two corrupted, uh. warhead launchers and the other thing is that two are better missiles, we actually have 25 warhead capacity and that, we have 15 and 16 flare deployables, the crew size is six, as you can see right there, 25 missiles Yes, as I was. through it all uh but yeah her net burst output of 6736 is actually pretty high and you can take her even higher so let's go ahead and get to the encyclopedia real quick let's compare this to other transporters in her class , let's move on. for the zh40, uh, I think it's a mercenary gunship, that's what I'm currently running, no, this one, the xx3, which is actually a green laser, uh, we're running the HS10, I think so, and I think we have yes, zr41, so yes.

We're doing pretty well so let's go ahead and confirm and then we'll add uh let's go with the white t-1300 which is good for comparison and we'll go to preset high uh let's see if we can get all of them. The red things there see the green things fine and we are running fine, so as you can see from the beginning, it's almost like a double explosion killing, given that the yt-1300 has twice the turret weapon power, but The thing is it has two of the 80 uh ag2gs while the zh40 only has one but yeah it's like the yt 1300 uh moves faster it's a smaller target but as you can see it has less shields but it has more hull, but it has less missiles and less container storage, so it's really what you basically prefer there and we will go for a larger ship in this class.

We're going to look at the GS80, which is another boat I really want to showcase in the future. look where is gs80 gs80 there is a cs80 yeah here we go that's actually been changed a bit yeah we're not going to be able to get close to the damage this thing can do this thing is really bad and it has a ship. a shield also upgrades which is nice so yeah as you can see it's like when you start looking at real combat ships and things like the gs80 actually takes the cake but look it's the same container of storage and the other thing is about the gs8 is the s8 is actually a little hard to find while the h-40 tribune can be found pretty much anywhere so let's go ahead and take the gs80 off and we'll start looking let's go back to our transporters. here, I'm looking at the cr70, here we go, there are so many engine options for this boat and shield options too, okay, so if you're looking at the bigger boats, the ones that are going to cost like a million extra, it's like that. when you're really going to start looking pretty good in the defensive department, as you can see the cr70 is actually a little bit faster, more cargo, container storage and things like that, more crew of course, because this is a very much boat bigger, but at the same time it's like you know I have the maneuverability and if you're looking at the average gun damage for the cr70 console corvette it's actually not much better than the uh z40 and the z40 will be able to take on uh your pirates and stuff like that are a lot easier um but we're actually looking at travel speed and stuff like that look we're actually moving pretty fast we're moving almost 2000 meters per second faster than the cr-70 , so we are.

We'll be able to get out of trouble a lot easier with the zh40, so it's just a few little things we'll think about, so let's go ahead and look at other m-class ships that will be closer to this. size, so let's look at the gazonte here, oh, even the zonte, m class shields, m class shields make a difference, but yeah, it's like the gazonte is left in the dust, absolutely left in the dust , is there any other engine we can? I can't, no, it's just those engines, so as you can see, it's like it's not looking very good for the gazante in the defensive department and in the maneuverability department.

I think it will take forever to get anywhere since the travel speed is almost zero. That's two thousand two thousand less, but yeah, it's like straight speed, turn speed and everything is like uh, actually xanthe is missing and that's these two ships are actually pretty close inside, well, xanthe is bigger, so let's see what else we can. we can look, so let's look at the vcx doing the vcx here, we're still looking at similar stats in the maneuverability department, but if we're looking at the weapon output, not even close to the shield apartment, not even close to the same load capacity , without missiles, so yes, it's like zh40. is in this nice little bar park where you can actually defend yourself, maneuver against threats and be able to get out of trouble as quickly as you got into it, yeah, so we'll try to look and see if we can try to find. some fights and see if we can try to find some pirates and stuff like that and yeah, see if we can try to get in trouble and actually, you know, we could pick up some cargo to try to attract some pirates, like microchips and stuff like that.

So we'll see, well, how do you lose? And here we are, I'm actually deciding not to, you know, micro stores because I can't find any right now. I've been searching around here a little bit, it's like I've been searching around here in and out of space and I can't really find any microchips, so let's go look for some medical supplies and all that has a good profit margin too, so let's move on. Oh, and there we're going to get a little boost, come on, come on, okay, we're just going to wait for the landing here, okay, see if we can try to grab some things here, I'm going to trade, come on, come on.

We're going to take everything waiting for the exchange to finish, so now we're going to go ahead and plot our course, so we're going to beat where our robot is here, so we're going to head to this prefab factory. Over here, then why do I go ahead and start moving fast? Hopefully we can find some problem in the way of the mass transporter. Oh, before we do, yeah, there we go, we're going to kill, so yeah, we're going to start flying in that direction. Let's see what other kinds of problems we can have. Hopefully we'll have some pirates in this area because we're in kind of criminal territory so we'll see how it goes well, so here we are at the station. and we didn't find any problems or anything like that.

We carry Vermont milk supplies. These are usually things I find every time I build myself a new stash. Things like that. Milk supplies microchips and silicone wafers. For some reason, always, always. get pirates and I don't know why but yeah let's trade this candy now we can pick up some prefab models and take them somewhere else too so there's a station being built right now so we got about 131 thousand profits. On that, so let's grab it and see if I can try to get more pirates, so let's keep goinggo ahead and move on. Yes, I found this little station that was already under construction.

I think it's around here, maybe where. Was? I think it was in this area and I'm pretty sure it's around here. I need to place some satellites. Oh, I bought some of the 95 so we can start exploring a little and see what we can find. Having explored there, we'll have this guy try uhI don't know how to get a lord, I'm sure I'll figure out how to get a lord of uh, we need to go out and start exploring some things because I was exploring a little bit, um, but I wasn't very successful. with this, so we'll try to see if we can try to do some exploration. um I'll try to see if I can't try to find some enemies around because we're not going to I found a lot of pirates here in the ancestry space.

I actually found some out there, but we have some bls areas and stuff, so let's see if we can try to find some problems, yeah, while we do that. There's one, I know there's a station right here somewhere that's under construction, I'm pretty sure it's in hoth, no, no, there it was found, oh yeah, let's set up a guide there, okay, so Let's see if we go. In the meantime, to try and find some pirates, just go ahead and go a little further here, autopilot is on so we have a little fight right here, uh, I thought it came too fast, too soon, oh yeah, come on .

Taking on the defender and a healing ax as well as a star chaser uh r41, I need to lock it in, that's what I need to do because we're going to say the defender is going to be last, we're mainly going after the fighters. so we launch two missiles at him, the defender is what's really bothering us right now, more than anything else, there is a cure x and r41, that will be the problem, yes, we will probably die here, this is just the defender, that's it what i really want to test against uh let's see what really happens so this is r41 down oh wow there's another fighter here defender corvae yeah we're going to lose okay so I'm just going to reload the autosave five four three, okay. so we have a fight right here uh we're looking at a pirate defender corvette and several escorts uh one thing I'm going to do is switch okay so we've got some concussion missiles here so what are we going to do?

What we're going to do is fire a star chaser once we get a lock on, we're going to fire some missiles. The defending fighter, the qrx fighter is closer, so once we get a lock on, we'll fire some missiles. on the ax cure, okay, keep him distracted and we'll accomplish a little bit, hopefully, that'll get his attention. Let's all deal with the fight as quickly as we can. We have one down. We have another enemy fighter coming in. so let's get out of here, let's go ahead and grab the loop, okay, the defending corvette defender doesn't move, here's the r41.

It looks like R41 is trying to dock, so we're actually going to keep the target on R41 and try to kill him. while on board the uh the defender here we have to wait for some of our shields to come back because that defender is going to be difficult because he has shields of his kind grab that cable there we go another blockade shoot again oh glory for you. the defender took it well so that's fine so now we are just dealing with the defender and what we are going to do is change the white proton torpedo and the ion torpedo and the reason is that we need to get rid of these shields quickly , we're reloading right now, let's see how those turrets, our main gun, are the ones that are really doing the damage right now, our holes are already in those turrets that are really seeing the problem when you run out of their main guns here, okay ?

So since that's done, let's go ahead and switch to the proton that hurts, that hurts, uh, we're going to die, oh no, if we had waited a little bit for the shield, I think we actually would have gotten it. Try again five four three okay technically it's round two but it's definitely something I want to try because the most common pirates you'll run into are actually defenders so what we're going to do. We already have some concussion muscle launchers set up. We also carry some proton torpedoes and ion torpedoes, so what we're going to do is run the ions and then switch out the protons for the defender.

What we're going to do is sit here and try to set the uh curax. We're going to fire some missiles at the priest ax and we should be able to take on the r41 fairly easily, so the first missiles to take out the pursuit team. It's really going to hurt, uh, let's say the defender is about to start trying to attack us. Qrx is down and fires off some concussions. That's r41. Our star chaser isn't hurt by that, so we're going to try to push forward here. Let's try to recover some shields. I know we're using some on the drive, but we need to get a little distance from the rest of those enemy fighters.

Yeah, they're not moving, so they're both trying to dock on it. uh defender right now yeah it's like defender is going to be the biggest problem you're going to run into when it comes to um pirates come on choke come on that gives us some distance that our 41's have thrown we just have two concussions. There are missiles left once we have a blockade, we are going to go ahead and try to attack one of these. Go ahead and get him out of the way. Incoming, there were a lot of missiles, why are you shooting at me?

Oh, it was damaged, come on, come on. in a big mistake, a very big mistake, come on, come on, come on, 41 is almost dead oh no, that's it ah, I'm getting frustrated by this, I want to get this, look at this guys, I'm going to get it right, so here It's the third round. defender corvette now we have our concussion missiles on and like I said I really want to really want to do this test because the pirate defender is the most common one you'll run into now that we have a z95 in the area and I think I might call it and try deal with some of these fighters because once we get rid of the fighters our main focus is the defender and it's like a one-on-one situation.

I think this ship can really outperform everyone. of these, but the real challenge is the group, so let's split up. Now I have you good, so now they will try to attack us. Let's close the lock properly. We have multiple options there. 41 stars. Chaser, we need to stay away from the defender because those turrets are going to hurt and as you can see the shields are already down and it's because we have those little shields right trying to get some distance here, the defenders are attacking us with the long range. weapons, okay, so let's go ahead and turn, let's try to attack again, okay, so if I can mess up with the button, we're good, so let's switch to our ion torpedoes, try to get the attention of the defender himself, everything okay, turn attacking those turrets.

We have very long range torpedoes and it is attacking, we only have one fighter, let's try to see if we can chase it, well I have three iron torpedoes left, we can definitely catch it, it may have jumped to another sector and let's get the point. leave them blank, that's going to hurt because we already know what's going on there, see if we can try to find it again, there it is, so we can try to get a little closer to it, okay, so let's set up our concussion missiles on our star 41. 41 stars are actually clank r41 star hunter defender corvette r41 star hunter r41 star hunter we are almost in range these r41 actually have a lot of concussion missiles which we learned before because we had like seven missiles coming towards we almost within range and we'll get another set here oh man the person has to hunt r41 stars under the court okay let's burn them let's fight with that r41 and we're in an implant ship and we've got it well, everything we need.

What we have to do is get this corvette. We're actually doing pretty well with the shields too, so as we get closer to him, we're going to go ahead and get our ions back. We've seen it for about four miles, ooh, that's it. a little close doing a bit of Jenkin's missed blockade, that's where the strafing really comes into play with this ship, okay that's our last ion torpedo, we don't want to get too close because we'll do it in pieces not available protons , OK? I think you can take those big guns they're going to hurt those turrets hurt too we're too close and he wants to be as close to us as possible so we actually have to try to get away from him those big guns hurt he's probably running hs10s on his and we're still turning and launching here still getting protons here right in your face, nice hit, so that's going to get rid of some of the shields for us, proton torpedoes, we actually fired one of our proton torpedoes, we still have shields up Come on baby our guns are warmed up we tryna get some shields back and their shields are back but ooh we just got hit I heard it a torpedo went off I need you to hit it and for Vietnamese so we're out torpedoes and we actually run out of shields too, we can't trust that the turret first won't do enough damage to us, okay, we're going to burn, we have some damage, but we need to get our shields back. is what we need we're going to keep doing some jenkin here his shield comes back faster than ours but we're going to need every bit of our shields here oh man he's on us bad move you pay for that I always look around this shield coming back very fast compared to ours, oh man, those big guns just took away a big chunk of our shields, yeah, it looks like we're not actually going to be able to beat them, we had everything back, we still had like our own, um, because we still We had our concussion missiles and before we used our iron torpedoes, I don't think we're going to be able to get them because, yeah, the big guns really hurt a lot, it's like as much as we try to curse here, it's like, aren't we going to get the speed we need to get away from him because he will be able to keep up because he is moving at 270?

No, he's moving to 215. 220. Those big guns really hurt us. We're at 237. We're actually moving away from it a little bit. Yes, I see that his shields are already back to 45 and he is still attacking us. It's sad that we can't face a defender on this. Hoping that we could, I mean, we tried twice, but as you saw, it's like we can run fighters all day, but once we get into another ship that's a similar class, we won't actually be able to go 2-2 with them. um, maybe like a razor crest or fire spray, we could get away with it, but I don't think we can get away with facing our defender because we have a 65. helmet, but it's done a lot more damage to us and it's those big guns that he has on the front because he has uh, I think he has two, maybe three, maybe four. hsn, we will have to look at it, learn to fly correctly, yes.

I thought this would be a good test for the ship, unfortunately she just doesn't have enough thrust, if she had a little more shields or her shields came back faster we would probably be fine, but other than that she is a really good ship, I likes it a lot and we are furious about its weapons, it will cool down and try to shoot us, but as you can see, it's like it's detonating right behind us, this doesn't have the range, which is something else. also, which is also good to know about this thing, so if he is intercepted and attacked by a defending corvette and you tell him to escape, we know that we will be able to escape from a pirate defender.

It's sad that we can't kill him, I really tried, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed this, oh wait, I just remembered that there are a couple more things I want to show real quick right before. I'm going and if you watch to the end of the video this is a nice world reward if you haven't seen it yet in the developer p

review

s we're getting another yt 1300 we're getting them one in Falcon from Rogue One and I'm looking forward to that thing too because it should have more load capacity compared to the yt 1300m and they have already decided that the yt 1300m will actually be the military variant, yes, let's let's try it one more time against this thing, let's die right here, already I know because he already recovered 100 of the shields and we still haven't recovered ours properly, like we can keep trying to make these little ones. it passes, but it will recover the shields in time, it's already backed up 100 shields on that first pass, like we don't have the firepower to take it on, but yeah, it's like I really like this ship, I love its maneuverability and like you they can see from the turrets even 1.2 kilometers away, if they do enough Jenkins will really get his way, yeah I hope you enjoyed it and I'll finish it here once we die, if you haven't already.

Go ahead, like, subscribe and I'll see you on the next one later, everyone rejected the expulsion ofemergency successfully.
