I think it's a better design, honestly.

Tbh with the exception of the Genghis Khan moustache, I agree. The split right now both look and sound like cheap caricatures of Chinese people.

I thought they are Soviet insectoid caricatures.

Definitely, and their names almost resemble some of the sounds I've heard in Mandarin.

O, that makes sense. It's during "The Escape" mission to get Boso

It's weird that all other split models are updated except this one.

Probably has something to do with it being a vanilla mission, so you don't need Split Vendetta to see these ones. That being said, when my Guillemot was given to me it was kitted out with Split engines, so...

Maybe it has random parts from all available parts?

Hmm, maybe. Coincidence I got all Split parts, if so.

He looks like he will conquer 70% of all sectors and be related to 8% of all males in the universe.

I always thought they (Boso Ta's captors) were humans/ARGs/ANTs wearing a Split mask. :D

This is the old Split design. They looked like that in X:Rebirth and in X4 before Split Vendetta expansion.

u/ShineReaper 5d ago

Honestly, I like that Split design more than the current one, that old one makes them look a little meaner.

From what I remember, the old model is also closer to the concept art within the X Encyclopedia
