X4: Foundations X4: Envoy Pack

The X4: Envoy Pack adds the Envoy stealth-ready frigate, the mysterious Cypher variant, a new mission chain and gamestart, a new sector to explore in the Open Universe, and new music for the X4 soundtrack.

The Envoy

Jointly developed by the Argon Federation and Teladi Ministry of Finance, the Envoy is a mid-sized warship built for infiltration, reconnaissance and covert manoeuvres. It is a prestigious ship for Diplomacy, significantly reducing agent operation durations. Its fully explorable interior is only the second full interior among M-size ships introduced in X4: Foundations; you can walk from the dockside boarding ramp through the ship to the cockpit.

The Envoy’s Cloak stance suppresses radar visibility and improves manoeuvrability, but reduces top speed, acceleration and engine boost while disabling all weapon systems. Its turrets retract out of sight in this stance. Deactivating the stance restores the ship’s combat capabilities. Faction camouflage protocols let it display another faction’s identity, while exclusive engines, shields and forward-mounted main weapons are unavailable to other ships.

The Cypher

The Cypher is an unauthorised variant of mysterious origin, often found in pirate hands. It is faster and more agile than the Envoy, and is often fitted with a mix of Teladi and independently sourced technology. It is compatible with the Envoy’s exclusive engines, shields and primary weapons, and its identity-masking protocols let it mimic other factions’ transponder signatures.

Missions and exploration

A new mission chain in the Open Universe leads to the discovery and unlocking of the Envoy. A new gamestart places you directly into its storyline, and a new sector awaits exploration in the Open Universe.
