Capital Ship Builds (L/XL Class)

Master L/XL capital ship builds in X4: Foundations: equip heavy turrets, multiple shields, and strong hull for combat; maximize cargo for economic roles.

Capital ships (L and XL class) are powerful assets, including destroyers, carriers, and large freighters/miners. Their builds are more complex, requiring careful consideration of turrets, shields, and internal components. For combat capital ships, focus on heavy turrets (e.g., Plasma, Beam), multiple shield generators, and strong hull plating. For economic capital ships, maximize cargo space and ensure they have sufficient defense against pirates. Always equip a full complement of service crew.
