- A fully explorable interior - only the second of its kind among M-size ships
- A new Cloak stance, optimised for radar evasion and covert manoeuvres
- Faction camouflage protocols, allowing visual deception when piloting these ships
- Exclusive engines, shields and main forward-mounted weapons, unavailable to other ships
Designed for infiltration, reconnaissance, and misdirection, the Envoy is a new mid-sized warship that brings a fresh tactical dimension to the X4 universe. It features a sleek silhouette, exclusive subsystems, and an immersive submarine-inspired interior that reinforces its role as a stealth operator in hostile space.
The Envoy offers immersion through function and purpose. It is also only the second "full interior" M-class ship introduced into X4: Foundations, following the luxurious Astrid from the X4: Tides of Avarice expansion. From the moment you ascend the dockside boarding ramp, you can walk through the ship's atmospheric interior all the way up to the cockpit, and enjoy a rare level of interactivity for ships of this class.
Its Cloak stance lets you suppress radar visibility and improve manoeuvrability - at the cost of top speed, acceleration, engine boost, and all weapon systems. In this mode, both the ship's main and secondary weapons are fully disabled, with retractable turrets concealed from view. When subtlety is no longer an option, deactivating the Stealth stance restores the Envoy's full combat capabilities.
Disguise and Deceive
Activate faction camouflage protocols to display the identity of another faction, misleading observers and delaying identification. Whether you're slipping past enemy blockades or staging an ambush under false colours, the Envoy offers unmatched versatility for commanders who favour stealth operations over brute force.
Enter the Cypher
A rogue variant of mysterious origin, the Cypher offers enhanced speed and agility over the Envoy, making it a fast-moving presence in combat.
Fully compatible with the Envoy's exclusive engines, shields, and primary weapons, the Cypher is often fitted with a versatile mix of Teladi and independently sourced technology. It also features identity-masking protocols, allowing it to mimic the transponder signature of other factions - the perfect choice for commanders who favour mobility, adaptability, and a more unconventional approach.
New Ways to Command
Whether you're scouting behind enemy lines, smuggling under a false identity, or leading precision strikes with minimal visibility, the X4: Envoy Pack opens up new strategic and narrative possibilities for your X4 open universe.
Prepare your fleet. Silence your signature. Deception is your greatest weapon.
