The Zeus is such a beautiful ship, but it’s a bit smaller than I imagined and I think it’s weird that the ramp seems to be designed as „anti-ursa“ as possible, especially because both vehicles are made by RSI. I like the feel of the interior though, it feels like a miniature version of the carrack. The amount of weapon racks was surprising, the MR is supposed to have an armory, I wonder how many racks that one will have.
Yeah the ramp is weirdly narrow vs the cargo bay, you can fit a (n)ursa if you yeet the wheels, but yeah not ideal, pretty sure an ursa would fit intact in the cargo bay if the ramp was wider.
Cool ship
@@KriLL325783yeah it's the same with the C1. Both made narrower than the bay to block (n)ursa
All done for balance reasons for ships in the class, the ramp is nearly always the way they do it. @@KriLL325783
Yep.
The design is obviously nerfed to keep the ursa out.
It definitely feels a bit smaller than I was expecting, but still a very beautiful ship. If you knock off the wheels you can fit a Medical Ursa in it, shame the ramp is too narrow to fit it while still mobile.
I love how you're so loyal to the Turtle, even thought it just got the Nickelodeon Color XD
I mean, you don't have to use the slime colored skin, hopefully now that CIG have made one skin for it, and the IAE skin that's upcoming from being in the top 4 in the popularity contest more skins will follow with a bit broader appeal.
Goosebumps?
Zeus is such a great package and the design and layout is exceptionally done. CIG did a good job on it. Can’t wait for the MR.
Great video, thanks for the sharing!!
I love how the level of detail just keeps going up and up. Can't wait to see whats next~
I joined almost 10y ago, but stopped checking in regularly some years after. Your videos are a nice way to stay up to date - also your style makes it very enjoyable - thank you!
it only took me one flight to decide that i want another zeus lol, instantly my favourite ship in the game and it gets me so much more excited for my galaxy too, i also found out you can jump over that ladder railing while pressing the exit button to save an extra second or two when leaving,
if there's one thing that i would change about it so far it would be adding that light projection when closing and opening the ramp like on the crusader C1
Reminds me a lot of the functional workings of Corsair as far as polish goes, the little details go a long way towards making it “life aboard” worthy 😊
I'm amazed at how much interior they've packed into the Zeus considering the other ships of the same size!
Its insane how much detail they managed to pack in the Zeus. I'm getting more and more excited about reworks of other ships (like my trusty Aurora MR)
The amount of detail that went into the creation of the Zeus variants is really great. I am hoping that some of the older ships get this kind of attention in rework!
Don't hold your breath. How long has the 600i been getting a rework? Carrack even scheduled to get it's cargo holds functional? Hull C work yet? How are those ship elevators treating everyone?
That engineering station should have said comming soon™
That would be funny but they can’t because TM has a meaning and they don’t hold the trademark to coming soon
Love the new RSI look, honestly a fan of the slopped walls and aesthetics. I hope we get updates to the other RSI ships visuals (Aroura fans anyone?)
Have you seen the animation work showing the Aurora with folding wings?
Slop em up!
@@Kyle-sr6jm Yeah and the Atmo Thrusters, a lot has changed throughout the games life. I don't know if they will do any of it still or just remake it like they did the hornet.
I love the window to the fuel tank on the Zeus ES. I love seeing the internals of ships as it makes them feel like real machines. Plus the exterior airlock door is a really cool touch
Considering that ship could easily need 4 people to crew, that 4th bunk being blocked out is just plain bad design.
It's not a four person ship, there's no need for a fourth person at all
the co-pilot doubles as the engineer, any more people in there and it'll feel cramped
very excited about 3.24.2 for a multitude of reasons, and honestly the purple paint on the terrapin I really like
I logged on the PTU this morning and looked at my Zeus ES. I didn't have time to fly it around and try any missions, but it did remind me of another ship that has been in the game a long time. It reminds me of the Avenger Titan strangely enough. It is like a multi-crew Avenger Titan.
I love how the Zeus is so 'matched up' between the number of crew it "works well" with (pilot, copilot, engineer) and the amount of living quarters/beds it supplies.
Ooof that Zeus sure is tempting, my C1 is hiding under the table, worried about being replaced :D
Thank you Kate and Crew for always bringing us these views in such a grounded, relatable way. Your videos are pure comfort to watch! Thank you for sharing the Zeus with us o7
Happy 12th Birthday Star Citizen! You have a very nice overview of the Zeus in the clip and quickly showed the difference between the ES and the CL. I'm excited for the Polaris since it carries the DNA of the Zeus.
Good review thanks Kate. I found something that has helped my muscle memory adjust to the new power system is keybinding the arrow direction keys to match the screen view. Looking at the screen (not sure for all ships MFDs) the weapons bar is left, the engine is middle and shields are right. Assign arrow keys to match for increase with the ALT and same arrow direction as the decrease. I then set the UP arrow as my reset to default. I typically add/reduce power in advance - flying in non-combat situations has no power to weapons to favor engines and shields. If something suddenly changes tap the up arrow reset to put power across all areas instantly. I've found that having a direction arrow keybind following the MFD screen layout is very useful. O7.
Another great drop! I bet you’re excited for citcon! Really appreciate you making this comprehensive overview of the Zeus, they really did knock it out of the park. Can’t wait to fly one!
I fully agree with the power triangle to the pilot and the detailed menu for co-pilot or engineer. It would really drive home opening up the fullest potential of a ship when all its rolls are filled.
Looking forward to seeing the amount of detail and care they've put into the Zeus make it's way back into some of the older ships!
Great video showcasing the Zeus ES and CL! I love how compact and well thought out the Zeus is with easy access for engineering even if you fully load the ship, certainly a big contentder for a solo daily driver in my opinion. The only thing on my wishlist of changes for the CL variant is a slightly wider ramp so you not only can exit the ship from the rear while loaded but also to make it just slightly more comfortable to load.
Great video! The visual fidelity of the ships is always improving with each new release, I look forward to them revisiting some of the older vessels though.
I'm glad they finally got a paint for the Terrapin, but it looks like a Mutant Ninja Turtle. 🙂
I am really going to enjoy my ES. So far, liking how it works. Thanks for the Video Kate and team!
Nice look through the new Zeus ships! The design feels much more thought out than some of the older ships. Haven’t flown the terrapin yet, but your vids have my interest peaked!
Love the Zeus layout, clean and simple. The CL's tractor-beam looks far more functional than most ships. Overall a great looking ship, thanks for the tour.
The Power MFD works since the key things you will be changing on the fly Shields, Guns, and Thrusters are right there along with QT drive. As the pilot you wont be messing with the stuff off the side that you need to scroll over too very often.
It's amazing how they utilize every inch of the interior of the Zeus. It may not be as big as a constallation but its just so much more thought through.
Can't wait for the constllations to get their gold standards pass. The new design language and use of space will make them absolutely amazing as a daily driver for just about everything.
The thing I like about the Zeus ES in particular is the vibes that it gives off. I feel like I could actually live in it and fly off to some uncharted part of space. The attention to detail in this ship is amazing and I can’t wait for the rest of the RSI ships to get made/updated.
Those blue detailing inside the Zeus are just beautiful, really makes me look forward to the Polaris. Which will also be nice for a life aboard season
Nice review and I always like your camera style.
Wholeheartedly agree with your comments on the new mfds. As someone who flies mainly singleseat fighters and racers, I hope, they give us something like the power triangle back, that can coexist with the new block based system for mutlicrew.
Terrapin finally getting some love!
I like how the Zeus MK II is a tribute to the old Zeus. Would be cool to see the old Zeus as a monument somewhere in game.
I love the chill vibe of your videos! Been watching your vids since you came over from Elite to SC :D
The Zeus is amazing, too! One of the few ships that really utilizes its space to the fullest. That's why it feels so... logical? You get into the ship and are like "Yeah, using the space like that makes sense". Cant wait to see where ship design goes from here. And I'm ultra hyped for the Polaris!
Thanks for the complete tour, and the new LOD of ship design is awesome to see. Definitely glad to see the honest feedback of UI changes as well, regarding the MFDs. Keep up the great work!
Nice ship, thanks for the tour
Can't wait for older ones to get updated as well !
Such a nicely proportioned ship. Hoping the MSR gets a ladder that comes up near the turret room. Great video as always. See you in the Verse.
Loving the details on the Zeus, it will make for a lot of fun flying. The clipper when loaded really needs the ladder as it stacks boxes right up to the ramp. And with the first new paint for the Terrapin comes good news... It was in the top 4 of the ship showdown so should be in line to get another paint.
Oh wow, the Zeus CL really doesn't lose all that much living space, just a couch and a slightly extended kitchen, that's pretty surprising.
Very nice comparison between the two versions. I was expecting to be more blown away when compared to the C1, but there appear to be pros and cons to each. Time to finally load up PTU and complete some test flights.
The Zeus is beautiful, the interior's blue and black color scheme through most of the ship looks really good while not being too bright. Kitchen window is perfect too.
Love the Zeus CL version, especially the streamlined dedign layout yet still very well thought out for the most part. The holographic turret altitude and directional bearing indicators will be very useful for target callouts between cockpit crew. One major flaw is the lack of guns on dorsal (top) surface of the ship.
I'm glad an older ship is being touched up, hopefully we'll see some of the new design choices from the zeus trickle down to other ships when they get a pss over.
The Zeus has a cool look up-close, albeit very plastic inside, but I'm ultimately not sold on the silhouette. That is fine I however, as it adds visual variety to the game. The tractior-beam deployment is slick. Overall I can't help but get the impression of it as a 'lessons learned' Cutlass, with a better cross-section for head-to-head combat. I certainly hope there's reasons to use either one, even if it's only down to cost-savings!
100% agree about the MFD UI, the power bars were pretty clearly designed for the engineer(s) of larger ships. Going to need to use hotkeys as a pilot. One thing about the triangle that wasn't mentioned though - while it was clear to read its effects on gameplay were often opaque. I'm hoping the bars make the relationship between power management and ship performance more clear.
Cant wait to run napa ship parts out of my friends zues when the new component changes come in!
That terrapin is so nice on the outside and love that it’s armor and shields are built tough
"Awesome gameplay! The RSI Zeus looks incredible in action! Really loving the detailed testing and the way Star Citizen keeps evolving. The new features in 3.24.2 look like a game-changer! I'd love to win the ship and explore the 'verse in style. Keep up the great content, and here's to more epic space adventures!"
Good luck with the giveaway!
Seeing the design language evolve makes me excited for reworks or olderships like the connie of course but most especially the reclaimer
The Zeus really sets a new standard for "complete" ships. And looks to be a good size for both solo and small group play.
Nice, thanks for some actual gameplay in the Zeus. I hadn't thought about it, but the remote turret placement really is nice without anything blocking it.
Also power triangle is life. Who thought a horizontal scroll bar in the power menu was a good idea?!
The Solstice Paint is one of the nicest cosmetics yet... I've been seeing some amazing screenshots of it from owners, and I loveeeee the addition of pale blue-silver and rose gold. Looks fantastic!
I'm so happy that the Terrapin is getting it's first *two* paints this year. Terrapin Friends! Thanks Kate and crew
I picked up a CL at concept sale last year. I am excited to finally have it! Great video review as always!
CIG is getting better and better with the ships. Not just the designs, but the features getting implemented based on what we need.
Yeah, hopefully older ships get touch-ups to get on the same level, Zeus being a step-up has the downside of making older ships look real old by comparison, even the C1 which is pretty new looks a bit... meh compared especially since the C1 doesn't have a cockpit adjacent ingress/egress solution.
Glad you did a walk-through of both versions. Most just compare stats or make 2 videos. I liked seeing the 2 directly compared
I've heard a couple of people slating on the green and purple paints, but I actually really like them. Sure they're a bit out there, but the two colours contrast and pop nicely.
The Zeus definetly has that brand new ship feeling. The side air lock that allows you to climb the roof is a fantastic idea. Definetly one of my new favorites. The paint less so haha.
picked up the Zeus CL and now have had a go with it in the PTU i love it. think it will be my go to ship from now on.
Great video once again. You are by my favorite SC content creator. 😊😊😊
you really need to see the zeus docking area open and close from the outside. very cool...
the power management reminds me of the artemis bridge simulator. Also every time I see a purple and green paintjob like that it reminds me of evangelion unit-01.
Great video... Best updated design so far. Hope these will serve as a primary reference for the Constellation series revisions when they get to them.
The biggest appeal of Star Citizen for me is immersion. The Zeus is one of the ships I feel like I would be happy with living in if it was my real home in space. The amount of quality, and comfort it seems to provide despite not being a luxury class ship.
I like that u can see the missiles tur the glass under the co pilot seat
I am a big fan of the original Zeus' lore and I think they captured it really well with this model.
Somehow I feel like this is what the Constellation always should've been to a certain extent :D
fun fact, the docking walk path has full gravity in zero g
This Zues reminds me of a few different ships but the bridge definitely reminds me of the Connie's most and a little bit of the Carrack! Thanks for another great video :D
Shiney :) I have the ES with a view to being my exploration ship once we get exploration.
The 4th "bed" should have been a locker and not shelves if they wanted to restrict to 3 beds only.
It's obviously pico storage. fill it with picos for good luck and to monitor your dreams to be finley free.
I was soooo happy seeing the Turtle getting its first Paintjob.
The Zeus is also nice I guess, the CL is truly a contender in the medium cargo ships next to the MAX, RAFT and the Taurus.
Thanks for the gameplay videos and walkthroughs. It's a really chill way to get an SC fix when I am not able to.
A stunning new ship for day to day small crew travels. And I just love how with every new ship CIG get them a more thoughtful and useful design, where every detail is in its place as it should be. Looking forward for more!
Wow, Zeus looks like an efficient ship, easy to navigate and fly. I really like how the gravity extends to the small landing outside the airlock, it's super cool IMO
I am really liking the Zeus, and I’m glad I pledged an ES. As soon as it’s in the PU, it will become my daily driver. It’s a little lightly armed than I’d prefer, but the two size fours are satisfactory for most PVE.
I've brought the zeus when it was released and cant wait the Zeus is really a beautiful ship. I've always see the terrapin but never looked into it looks cool af. Good luck to any winners
Nice work. Loved the detailed comparison of the 2 varients that are incoming. I upgraded from a Nomad a while ago and bagged a Zeus CL and it looks like I chose the best ship in my opinion. I am looking forward to the patch release and I'd love a little Terripin to go with that so fingers crossed :)
thank you for the competition and good luck to you all
I like the terrapin too, I'm a fan of the rather square lines, but I find the paint a bit too garish, but that doesn't stop me from welcoming this pretty bird into my shed ^^.
I've had only an Aurora for forever, and I've stayed loyal to the RSI brand ever since. As you said, the interior design of RSI ships are really nice!
Awesome ship! Cant wait to see the Zeus in my hangar! Love every single detail! Terrapin is one that have my attention too! My favorite gameplay so far is to just go exploring moons, plannets and asteroids. Great video!😊
God the Zeus is that like...perfect size of ship to be viable to solo and play with friends.
I wasn't a fan of RSI ships in the past but with the Zeus, Galaxy, and Arrastra it changed. Now I have 3 RSI ships as a CCU: Zeus MR, Zeus ES, and the Arrastra 🙂
You are one of the few youtubers that keeps me coming back to Star Citizen
that tractor beam arm is the coolest thing i have seen so far with the feature
The Zeus is an amazing ship that shows what we will be able to expect in the future ship overhauls. Cant wait to see more RSI ships updated.
Just started playing the game a couple weeks ago, and I’m absolutely smitten, I haven’t dared travel to the ptu, but once I get more comfortable and more content comes to it I will definitely be giving it a shot
Thanks for the review! Wild that the turtle got a TMNT looking paint for its first!
cant believe they did so much right! the extendable tractor arm *chefskiss* and lockers with actual storage! Your videos always rekindle my passion for this game! Way to go:)
My favorite detail is a side door that can be used as a porch - just put a chair there!
Honestly the purple turtle is both a sick name and the paint scheme is also growing on me the more I see it
Can't wait to fly around in the Zeus. They did a good job making the new mechanics seem more manageable
The Zeus looks pretty good, I like the view from the cockpit quite a lot, but the paint job on the Terrapin is really slick.
The Zeus style is so good, it has actually made me interested in one but also in the Galaxy. Ship melting time approaches!
I love the visibility from the pilot seat
Really think they pushed the limits further with this ship, love seeing them always learn new ways to improve ship design.
I think you're the first person to show the ES's 2nd weapon rack lol. Also love the new purple haze paints because it reminds me of Eva Unit01.
Now if only we could get this level of RSI styling for the Aurora and Constellation, it would really bring new life to those ships as well.
I agree that the new power management seems to be designed with multi-crew in mind. It would be best if, at the very least, the smaller fighters were given the power triangle back
