Hey mate if you want a 'try before you buy' with the Hercules I have the M2 Military variant with the Nova Tank and you are more than welcome to take them for a spin.
Thanks! It looks awesome. I know beginners probs lay can’t afford that ship and it’s wee lil’ lad I’m the belly, but your enthusiasm makes me want to play the game. lol
Just hearing how happy you were just docking and undocking your snub should be an indicator why people play this game. There is a lot of negativity around the game and this just shows how much excitement it can bring to people
right? like just being able to walk to my ship and take off, then walk around on it while its flying is still amazing to me. I always giggle when i dock the sea moth or prawn suit to the cyclops in subnautica lol.
The loudest negativity comes from those who have never played it. They're just unhinged children jumping on a bandwagon. Adults should know how to recognise and ignore this when it happens.
@@B.D.E. i have played it and i disagree It was fun for like a month or two at best After that it became boring because of the lack of content Like dude, i have done like every mission atleast once and they are very boring New ships aren’t fun when you can’t use them if you don’t grind for a week The features that have been promised are cool but i doubt they will ever come to the game
@@LarnelTheThird Well thats the beauty of a game. You don't have to play it. lack of content? There is new content pretty much every 3-5 months. Like completely new content and not just a new paint job for your fortnite skin. New ships are not fun because you have to grind to earn them..Is that what you mean? So you expect them just to give you everything instead of play the game..lol..mmmmk MMOs are 100% not for you if those are you complaints.. lol
The 600i is almost 3x larger than the Phoenix, so, yeah...The 890 absolutely DWARFS the Phoenix. Even just in length, it's 61m vs like 200m. You could fly your Phoenix out to the 890 Jump mission to see how it scales. Should be good video content too. :T
It's funny hearing it referred to as "the city" when the entire planet is basically one massive city, but you're not wrong. LMAO. As long as Cruise Control isn't active -- and Coupled Mode is -- your ship should actually stop when it exits QT, so you don't NEED to be in the pilot seat at the time.
one caveat to that- ALWAYS move off the arrival point by a few kilometers, because ships QTing in from the same region will pop out right on top of you if you don't. LOT of collisions that way :)
@@BreandanOCiarrai Meh ... There are more caveats there - If you linger too long after exiting QT on main travel lanes you might also be ambushed and shot at destroyed by other players.
@Lucid Strike - Decoupled mode On/Off does not matter in space after exiting QT. Unless thrust is active (coupled mode plus auto - where Auto cannot be engaged while decoupled) the ship will go nowhere beyond the QT exit spot - while in space. IF you are decoupled as you exit QT while going down to a planet city location - Yes gravity will take over and pull your ship towards the ground ending in a "boom".
Rule of Thumb: No Gravity = No VTOL needed. Also - Why Olli kept putting it in VTOL mode in space makes no sense. (1) VTOL barely works (2) VTOl on most ships is pointless until you get to ships like the MOLE /RAFT /Reclaimer etc ... where they are weighted heavier than the base thrusters can handle - the Constellation is not one that needs too much VTOL - and definitely doesn't do anything in space.
Welcome to sc. Always remember if you ever have questions ask away. You will find most of the community more than willing to help. SC has the best and most helpful community in gaming.
Hi and welcome to the Verse, just a few things : - While there is no real consequences when you're in a hangar, try to take the habit to ALWAYS close your ships before leaving it, you don't want to see your fully quantainium loaded future Starlifter fly away without you because you let somebody take the control of it by letting the ship open. - Speaking of, yes it's nice to have a bigger cargo, but more risks of pirating come with it. Try to avoid the more obvious delivery roads. A good way to do it is to QT to a secondary road, interrupt your QT in the middle of nowhere and then QT to your final destination, doing this you will avoid being on obvious trading routes and QT interdictors ships as Mantis. Maybe also considering doing these high risks/reward routes offline, because stream sniping is a thing unfortunately in SC. Also notice that big cargos ships gets more attention, meaning you're not a noob anymore so pirate orgs who let noobs go their way should willingly attack you more. - And if you get caughed, well best thing to do is negotiation, it is highly appreciate by pirate orgs with ethics (Mongrel Squad for example). - About the 890, just know due to alpha state wipes are still possible (none have been announced for 3.17 though). Cordially
Tbh I feel more like an unpaid tester in an early access alpha. It's a single, relatively empty system with little in the way of connected and cohesive gameplay. But yes the tech is fairly Impressive.
@@barroxbarrox1857 there literally are hovercars with dense NPC traffic of ships flying around..this is the far future, people don't drive normal cars in cities lmao
@@B.D.E. it has gameplay and very impressive tech, but no real progression..yes, it can feel like you're a playtester, but then again..you are one, so...that's literally what the alpha is. The devs get the data from your gameplay session to fix issues and improve the game, and also people submit bug reports and actively discuss with the community and devs of things they want and issues encountered. It may not be an MMO yet, but it WILL be. It's not for everyone for sure, but it's far from being a scam or whatever else those toxic people say
@@chobai9996 Duh, why do you think I wrote it. It has extremely limited 'gameplay'. It's one of the weakest aspects of the alpha. I know the copium huffing whales who are in too deep will pretend otherwise though. I have faith in the long term project, but I'm also honest and frank.
Very happy to see a positive star citizen video. So much negativity around it, i understand the reasons but its such a beautiful game. if you haven't seen wallys bar in microtech check it out, looks ridiculously cool
Yeah, when it's not a buggy mess the game looks and plays amazing. Just a shame that it's being milked by those greedy devs for bullshit. At least people can still have fun with it.
@@TheKorejen these are all opinions though. There’s a huge amount of people who play daily, for more than a few hours and love it. I’ll be honest, I have a break every few months, as content is lacking at the moment. But unlike a lot of other games updates and content is constant
Thank you brother. There are some games that just absolutely capture us, this is definitely one of those games. So immersive, massive, and just aesthetically pleasing overall. Can’t wait to have this game. Thanks for uploading your experience with it.
Something about the ships in this game - more expensive ones aren’t just bigger better versions of less expensive ones. They all have their own feel and quirks - it makes it fun to experience the ships rather then just ‘GRINDING’ for the most expensive one
that's a fair point, and more over the biggest ships often have serious draw backs for a solo player. The Hammerhead is a prime example of a powerhouse that really needs a crew to be any value at all. To me this effectively limits any pay-to-win arguments as people who have pledged for the Hammerhead, Polaris, or even Idris are going to be wrangling up a crew to have any use from their major investment anyway. Meanwhile those who have played the game to grind for an Eclipse or Vanguard Sentinel or other single seat fighter can lay waste to those "pay-to-win" big ships just as easily as those who bought a dedicated fighter for their package.
@@NagginNuggs exactly, and one of the big drawbacks of multicrew ships, is their operating costs. NPC crews will not be cheap. A lot of people who own Idris's already, will have them in drydock for a long time haha
Definitely looking forward to more content on this. Love anything to do with space. Game looks a steep learning curve and time consuming but will look into it.
There will be a free fly event in May. You will be able to download and install the game for free and play for a week or two. The free fly event will also provide several ships for free that you can try out to see if you like the game. I don't know more specific dates right now. Also, the players online are almost always very helpful which is good because the learning curve is VERY steep and because the game is still in development there are still bugs. Sometimes very frustrating bugs, but most of the bugs are no worse than a game from Bethesda where you point and say look at that funny bug.
Asking someone to show you around and teach controls when you're in for the first time is recommended. SC is seriously lacking in tutorial for now. Well, lacking a lot really :) And yes, time consuming is a good way to put it. You can spend hours in game without actually achieving anything but still having good time knowing that.
“Sit tight, grab a beverage..it’s gonna be nice”. Just discovered your channel and this game and your gameplay intrigued me. 114 videos to binge. Here we go.
I started watching you / subscribed because of your star citizen videos. Glad I wasn't too far behind from the first video. You should do a series with episodes!
Thank you for giving some coverage to Star Citizen and no less from a fellow Phoenix fan! Can't wait for personal hangars so you can tune your ships and leave them hang out without storing. See you in the verse brother.
Original backer from 2012 here and I think this man nailed it better than most when he said "it feels like a place". You can wrap it up in whatever words you like but that's what it really boils down to for me, the places feels like places, the things feel like things and while it still has a little ways to go, there are some NPCs who feel like people. And a couple of pointers from a guys who's been playing fairly regularly for nearly a decade: -When you drop out of quantum above a planet don't worry, you're not going to fall, it treats you as "in space" and even if your engines are off you'll drift to a stop when you leave your seat. -If budget allows, get a HOTAS. Flying with mouseykeyboard is easier to begin with but once you get a little practice you'll find it has a fairly harsh skill ceiling, a HOTAS or even a plain old joystick will allow you to pull manoeuvres that are simply impossible with a mouse. And those landings will be a lot easier. -the 'unlock' command in the cockpit has nothing to do with the snub fighter, it just allows strangers to push all the buttons on your ship. -On the funding thing mentioned here, it's not actually in big numbers for a "triple A" game it is however the most successful crowdfunding campaign in history. -And for new people, keep in mind it's been in a janky as hell alpha state for a loooong time and will be for some time to come so make sure you're ok with that before buying (minimum is US$45 last time I looked). Having said that for all it's faults it IS a lot of fun for all the reasons mentioned here and there IS an actual game to play. -For the negative nellies, if you want to see an actual scam along these lines go have a look at Star Atlas. And I'm gonna be a cheeky bugger here and throw in my own referral code😁STAR-9MKP-SL6L
Another Secret: If you own the Piano Hangar Flair, you can swap out the conference table by the bar with it in the Vehicle Loadout App in your mobi-glass. And it plays Moonlight Sonata!
I did not know this. Now I gotta go get the damn piano. Because why not! Be nice if the Jukebox did the same. But something about music copyrights I guess.
If I understood it correctly, that was a very limited time thing and is no longer available to purchase. If it IS still around, I would love to know where to get one.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you yet but as an FYI you can move the camera about a good bit more in third person. These controls work on both foot and in a ship. Once you have pressed F4 you can not only do the panning movement you were doing by holding z but you can also; hold F4 and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, Hold F4 and use the arrow keys to move the central location the camera rotates around, hold F4 and use page up and down to pan the camera up and down, Hold F4 and use plus and minus on the numpad to increase and decrease the fov, and hold F4 and use home and end to adjust depth of field.
When I first started playing, there wasn't any Arccorp yet. There was just Port Olisar with everybody trying to ram your ship on the launch pad. This game has gotten so much bigger and better.
Love seeing these positive, excited "first impressions of SC" videos. Really pleased for you that you are enjoying your games. Hope the bugs and the occasional insta-deaths aren't causing you too much grief, but you seem to be having a good time, so that's what counts. I wonder if you are excited for any of the other game loops, like bounty hunting or cargo hauling (in the new Raft for example), or even the upcoming salvage? Anyway, fly dangerous (or chilled, if you prefer ;) Thanks for the fun content o7
You definitely won’t die if you’re out a seat when you’re done with quantum. Also, whatever quantum drive you have on your ship, you should definitely replace it with an xl-1 drive that you can get from port tressler, or cousin crows in orison. That cru l1 to arccorp flight should be about 4.5 minutes.
I'd argue the Hermera is better than the XL-1 in some regard; The XL1 has a range of 125.1Mkm at a speed of 260,701km/s whilst the Hermera has a range of 357.44Mkm, at a speed of 126,626. You'll barely need to stop for fuel, and you keep a respectable speed, which is really good if you're chaining missions, or doing something like trading where your main focus is efficiency, so you wouldn't want to wait for your ship to refuel. Now the XL1 is good if you are doing activities within a sector/system i.e Sticking around a planet & its moons. But for long range travel, its not as feasible as you'll be spending profits refueling and time waiting on the tank to fill. But honestly anything is better than the stock Bolon.
@@sphinxoforion7422 arccorp to microtech is ~60m km, as long as we’re stuck in Stanton I’ll take twice the speed and still have enough range to make the longest jump in the system twice. Once we get to pyro I’m sure range on larger ships will become a consideration, for now I don’t think it is.
@@Ace-uu4hj Yes however, next patch the first form of Quanta is coming into the game, which affects the price of fuels, ammo, and repairs. So the price of fuel will drastically fluctuate up and down. Also filling a ship can take thousands rn, my MSR on average takes 2300 for quarter of a tank; Which is chump change but still cuts into profits, and next patch it maybe upwards of 5k+ or as low as 800, thats the glory of Quanta
The 0 munition on the turret might not be a bug. If you look carefully at your power's triangle when on your pilot's sit, you will notice that you removed all power from the ship weapons.
for those who don t know about the game and the 890J, you should do a video about the boarding mission on it :) that woud show how big it is and interior ( or safest solution, ask another player ^^)
Fantastic video and enthusiasm mate - very much a like! It's very easy to become jaded and stop seeing the brilliance that Star Citizen is with the passage of time, but seeing content like this reopens your eyes to what we actually have and what is yet to come! Thank you!! (btw did you know the Phoenix has a hot tub on the main deck!)
Welcome to the verse! Glad to hear you have the same sentiment we that have played and supported this project for many years. Been in since the kickstarter. This game has so much bad (often incorrect/uninformed) commentary around it. It would be nice if you can convey more of what you may have heard, and found to be false/misleading in your adventure with it. And yes, it would be very nice to see a mining video of the process and path you chose to enjoy in your journey in the stars. A link to your Twitch in the description would be nice. I did find you though. Your spirit is quite enjoyable to sit with through your videos.
Its worth noting: It was not announced in 2014/15, it was announced in 2012 with a kickstarter campaign. It also is not the largest budget game, this is a common myth. GTA V has cost way more to develop and maintain than Star Citizen could even dream of (while initial budget was 250 mil, they have spent hundreds of millions since launch to maintain it). In fact, Star Citizen's budget year-to-year is lower than many AAA studios working on stuff like Assassins Creed or Call of Duty. (COD spends somewhere in the ballpark of 200-250 mil per year, SC spends about 80 mil). On the bright side tho, I'm really glad you are having such a good time and have found some peace in this game. It really is something special and while we still have many many years to go (probably like 8 tbh), its already a wildly fun game and I'm super excited for the next 18 months of updates.
Welcome to SC and the Verse. I'm glad to see another happy member. The Starlifter C-2 is the Cargo king at this time with 692 SCU capacity. I see people talking about the MSR, that's not feasible as it only has 114 SCU of cargo space which is a fraction of what you want. Most people will be happy to help, but there is always the occasional griefer and troll online, just have to ignore those. If you ever want a tour and to fly the C-2 let me know. Happy hunting.
@@citizenzero5437 Alternative for this. Connie Andromeda, can carry around most vehicles that you would want to do solo or in a small group. Still has the snub fighter (for extra multi crew fun) and unlike the MSR doesn't suck in combat.
@@citizenzero5437 the down side to the msr is all the fucking doors, I always run the Taurus and I love it, you can load up a vehicle and send the cargo elevator up as you take the elevator a door away from the cockpit
Love my MSR! Have the Fortuna + Fortuna Ursa, can fit my ursa, dragonfly, and hoverquad with a little space to spare, been enjoying my 400i as well as of late, carry a cyclone, dragonfly, room for a ptv or nox in the nose with a bit to spare. Only thing I wish the MSR had that I appreciate about the 400, a quick way to the bridge, only one way in/out through the cargo bay rather than having an elevator or second ramp
Would love to see you mining as I'm curious to mine Quant but haven't done it yet. Maybe you already did that. The 890J is cool! The Herc C2 is my favorite ship. :) Good vids, good editing, good narration and voice. I totally get what you mean about the ads and how the 'Verse looks 'lived-in' and populated by companies, brands, ads, food, etc. It's all immersion, and it's just a fun place to 'be', similar to how Stanley Kubrick's slow pacing in 2001: A Space Odyssey lets us 'live' in the moment instead of rushing us through scenes. To me, SC feels like I'm the start in a Kubrick film (slow pacing), but with a modern hard sci-fi aesthetic similar to Blade Runner, Fifth Element, or Oblivion. When other games ignore details such as ship interiors or planet/atmo transitions, we lose a lot. The game is so good with these fundamentals that simply flying from place to place is extremely edifying, long before we worry about complete game loops, or all features and content. CIG have built an extremely solid foundation, and I think we're seeing a critical mass of interest because of it. Thanks for bringing light to the game via your popular channel!
So just a few things to point out, that you may know already.. 1. It was the coupled flight mode that was stabilizing your ship like it was, VTOL really doesn't do much at the moment for most ships in terms of stability. (There is a weird thing with the landing gear down that can be useful but that's another deal) 2. If your ship gets stored for timing you don't get fined for that, its no issue.
The Constellation was my first ship back in 2013, loved it from day one ;D. Still love it. Even while everyone was complayining about its hields back before the rework of shields. 10:55 you will only fall down on planet surfaces if you are in the gravity of the planet. As you arrive from quantum you should be far enough to not fall. With heavy ships like the Reclaimer you definitly feel the gravity.
Great Video! Welcome to the Verse. The Connie Class of ships are the bomb. The Constellation Andromeda is one of the best multi-role ships in the game. It does multi-crew, it bashes bounties, does decent for a mid-range cargo hauler, can carry a wide variety of vehicles. The biggest learning curve to it is just learning how to maneuver a big ship. I will say though, the VTOL functionality is not yet implemented on the Connies yet, but the doors are there for it when it is. Some ships like the Cutlass, Mole, or Prospector for example, actually fly different when in VTOL mode, the Connie flys the same doors open or closed. It does look cool though. I have the C2 Hercules and I love it. I do however use smaller cargo ships to move Ore though. One lesson you learn in SC eventually is to "not put all your eggs in one basket" so to speak. There are still bugs that can cause you to lose ship and cargo. You don't want to lose too much in case one of those happen. o7
The one gripe i have with the connies is there is not toilet/bathroom for guests. High paying guests are supposed to use the crew toilet up front? It's a literally coffin size box with a basin and a hole to do your business lol. Biggest oversight of that ship by far.
Actually I enlisted in Star Citizen on Sept 12th 2012, and the Kickstarter had already been running for at least six months! My No is 5505. I was 61 when I enlisted, I'm now 71 and don't hold out much hope of ever seeing S42! But hey, I've had a great time and still am. Great video by the way
Your Enthusiasm is Contagious! I’m not sure if you are doing it for the vids, or you are naturally such an engaging speaker? Either way, it works! I’ve been watching Star Citizen for a couple years, your vids by far, literally makes me happy as well. Living with chronic pain daily, happy and laughter helps! I have most of the parts for my pc build for Star Citizen besides Video Card (ugh), gaming chair and mounts. So maybe I have to bite the bullet and fork over the coin for a 3080ti, I just hate giving in…. Maybe someday you may start and org and get on Twitch.
I kind of appreciate this slow, procedural, and meticulous take on game development. A game that you get to watch progress and grow throughout the years off of the support of its community is very cool. This game looks very barebones at the moment (it’s an alpha of course) but it has massive potential
You can check your distance from your destination by just looking at your mobi, no need to get back into the seat :). Also you hear a distinctive 'deceleration' sound when you're nearing the destination as the ship starts to slow, and means you got about a minute before you pop out of QT
Damn, that purpleish lighting when you gracefully completed your landing in the city there, was very cool. Would be awesome to be able to say "RED ALERT" (click a button) and the usual lighting would be dimmed with a red one that would act like the purple did there. " Different light settings does add so much atmosphere, its crazy! 18:27 for reference. Nice video!
3.17 has had an amazing Detail pass for 1440P. Controls for the Connie are updated and look excellent. (I have an Andromeda). Do yourself a favor though go to Area 18 and buy the Crossfield jump drive for the connie, its sooo much faster, the 40M KM jump would have taken between 3-4 min. Also you can absolutely get on the cargo ramp or front entry and lower it during QT, it looks awesome I have lots of screen shots doing that
Thanks for the video! My favorite Constellation variant is Phoenix :) Also agree with you on immersion it's a beautiful game. For the full experience tho, I strongly suggest joining an active organisation/community. Just so much fun with people
DO THE MINING SHOWCASE. Not speaking for other viewers, but for someone who doesn’t have a spec’d out PC it’s really cool to watch someone thoroughly walk through playing it like this. & I’m not even a gamer! Lol.
Dude “twice as big…”, take the boarding party mission. The 890j is way more than twice. One floor is larger than a Connie. 🤣 I like your life goals there though. 👍💜
if you want to mine quantanium.. then go to the moon of lyria near your home planet... all the L1's have refineries. Turret doesn’t fire in quantum mode. game was first announced in 2012 best speed to play is walking speed, scroll shell changes walking speed :) you can generate a link for your referral code rather than just copy pasting the code which people don't know where to use, the link is made when you select the "twitter" option. Also subbed and liked... good to see your genuine excitement to play.
You cant imagine how happy I am seeing you playing this masterpiece and its definatly great to see another style of videos cause most creators like bored gamer(also great conetnt) have a different style, so yeah its just great to watch :)
@@drummer2443 Yup, however much you want to hate it and make fun of it, it is. But keep on trolling buddy, if that is How you like to spend your time. And yes, I like to spend my time playing Star Citizen with my friends rather than trolling on youtube becuase I hate something :)
@@drummer2443 how is that laughable? They literally created something no other developer has done before. That stupid reacion is laughable. And yes i am angry about that stupidity because people spread stupid shit Like that. There are so many things that can be critizised about the development but people tend to Pick out the most stupid things and reacion because of their utter Lack of understanding. It is so Frustrating because it feels Like it is absolutely impossible to discuss the actual Problems.
I have the Phoenix as well & the 890 Jump. I love the luxury ships or as I like to call them the “Party Boats”. Hehe. Great video, love your enthusiasm. ❤️👍
When you referred to your Phoenix as a fairly large ship I thought how nice it would be if your where to park it next to my 890 Jump. For science of course. :)
@@Olli43 Don't be to jealous. Like anything big and fancy, it takes resources and time to maintain. CIG did an amazing job with that ship... But I wouldn't want his fuel bill.
You can get rid of those stutters in quantum drive by having the game and OS pagefile installed on different PCIe 4.0 SSDs btw. A good idea since it's only going to get worse. If you don't have PCIe 4.0 nvme slots, the only other way to eliminate them is 128GB of RAM. Remember that you're crossing a dozen Skyrim maps every second when quantum travelling.
I've really been enjoying this series, RUclips has brought me back to this video so I guess I'm going for another round! Very easy to listen to in the background whilst I'm pottering about the verse
started backing this game in the first year. It has been a long yourney and it doesnt go fast. but its so so cool and realistic. still play it daily..awesome to see you enjoy it so much.
HEY OLLIE GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK and with this banger of a game , it honestly needs more recognition so I'm extremely happy to see you play it I hope the rest of your fanbase enjoys the game as much as you do , I hope to see you upload alot more of this . Welcome back to the Verse Ollie !!!
im not a huge fan of streamers generally, so having you do the intro and then just your voice explaiining things and the gameplay itself is perfect for me
Remember that ships bought with ingame money could be lost if the team decides to do a wipe after a large patch. You can only keep them forever if bought with real money so keep that in mind and then there is insurance to consider aswell.
One of the best space games ive ever played, since 2015. It was EXTREMELY rough in those early days, but the last 2 years have seen massive changes to the core game itself, with mostly if not majority of positive results from those changes. It takes a long time to get where the game wants to go, but when it gets even halfway there, other dev studios still have 10 years of catching up to do. We're in it for the long haul, just like EVE Online players. But i'll be honest about one thing the trolls say, they're right, for the reasons they dont comprehend. Star Citizen will never be "finished", because it'll continually be updated. Just as EVE Online still today isnt "finished", because it also continues to evolve. So when someone asks "when is Star Citizen released?", simply answer, it is released, you can play it right now. It wont be "release-released" in the future, because its an evolving game, just like any MMO. EVE Online wasnt finished on release day. Nor was World of Warcraft. Nor was Elite Dangerous. And thats a good thing. "Holy cow, this guy said its a GOOD thing that SC will never be finished??! LOL OMG". Yeah, because "finished" means its thrown to the side and forgotten, updates stop. If you love a game, you dont want it to be "finished", people dont want EVE Online to be "finished", they want to continue playing through as the game changes, grows and evolves. There's this weird myth that "finished" means that a game is better than something that isnt finished. I dont think Aliens Colonial Marines, despite being a "finished" game, is better than Escape From Tarkov, which is NOT a "finished" game, and for the record, also has no release date. Yet there's no drama about Tarkov. Why? Because its a good game. That's fun NOW, regardless of what label you attach. Luckily Star Citizen has also become fun now, and hopefully will continue to evolve in the right directions. "Finished" means nothing. It's today and the future that matters.
Well I mean, it can be finished, in terms of actually having the MMO experience the game is meant to be. Until then, it's not what it's supposed to be. I get what you mean, but there is no progression to the game and no permeance. The persistence and reputation system will help us get to that point
Great vid, been playing for around 5 years now, game has come a looooong ways XD ! The Starlifter you'll enjoy I'm sure, Crusader ships are good ships; I'm a Mercury Starrunner owner myself. Looking forward for your mining vids ;)
Let me repost this comment I posted above one a bit further up. Whats your true opinion on it, bias and convincing aside. A genuine answer that doesnt try to persuade us lol. Would be nice to know. Having the game is a conflict of interest, I'm aware, but hoping you have a good response lol. Seems like a great game in theory, just have heard a lot of frustrations.
I would love to get this game but being unemployed has been limiting my expenses at this time. Really love the space games and everything futuristic. Really enjoyed this video, Thank you. +1 Like 👍👍
I backed the game back in the days as well, been trying it out for a day or two between patches but never really got into it as the frames killed my setup. However I did go all out during the first years and got a collection of ships I'd like to start learning, I'll try out 3.17 for real thanks to your vids, having no idea what I'm doing. :) Cheers!
now this is what i call an open world game... not just a game with a big map and many side quests... imagine what gaming will look like in +50 years with the newest tech
Load the Ursa rover in connie and land near bunker [out of turret range] and drive rover to bunker. The you can fill Ursa with dead guys, drive back to connie and loot all their weapons, armor and dump the bodies Now in 3.17 you can sell loot at the gun shops & armory.
I tried SC a few years ago now and controls seemed very complicated to me (i don't have a joystick or HOTAS just mouse and keyboard) so it took me a bit to learn how to do even basic flying. What i was really put of though was other players who were ganking the space station i was on constantly so whenever i tried to undock and fly somewhere i would get instantly killed and it made for a terrible experience. So i quit and never looked back. Really what im waiting for is Squadron 42 singleplayer game to come out so i can ease into it hopefully and then try out SC once again
There is no landing pad killing anymore. They banned it and you can report players for doing it. I came back to the game about 3 month ago and i have to say its fun to play as it is right now. I also use mouse and keyboard and its fine, no need for joystick or hotas.
Just a quick correction, the game has been in development since 2011. It's not the most expensive game, but it does have the funding of a high budget "Tripple A" game but without a publisher. I have been a long term fan of this game. Its development is slow, but it's consistent. The tech behind the game is insane, and it's only getting better. The trade off to this is that the game is very buggy, as features are added and altered it brings in or resurfaces bugs, and although there is a large effort every patch to fix bugs, a lot of patches can still be buggy. Performance improvements are constantly being made, but again some patches are more playable than others. If you do plan on getting it you only need to buy a starter package, everything is/will be earnable in-game. You should also be aware this game isn't kind on hardware and it is essential you install it on an SSD, a HDD does not cut it, and will lead to an awful experience. The SC community is one of the most helpful communities you will find, if you have any questions or issues never be afraid to ask, someone will help you. Fly safe everyone! o7
Active development for the MMO didn't start until 2015 when we voted for it. The single player game the kickstarter was for also didn't have procedural tech, and had a budget of 500k Just pointing out that what we play now has little to do with what they were planning in 2013, and that's a good thing
I hope to god they make space piracy fun and profitable. Literally no space sim has a fun space piracy mechanic. Elite would be fun if they added a way to slow the ship down rather than fucking ramming into the ship repeatedly. NMS recently added one but its new so lots of bugs.
Been playing since Nov & love this game. The coworker who introduced me described the realism as: "they created the game to be just like 'real life', then dialed back a couple clicks so it wouldn't suck."
Whats your true opinion on it, bias and convincing aside. A genuine answer that doesnt try to persuade us lol. Would be nice to know. Having the game is a conflict of interest, I'm aware, but hoping you have a good response lol. Seems like a great game in theory, just have heard a lot of frustrations.
@@SilverrulezGaming Keep in mind, this game is still in alpha. Yes it's been around for a decade, but they've built it from the ground up, including the game engine. As I understand it, they spent a year just creating the first planet. Of course, the more they create, the faster it goes as they can reuse textures and all that. All that to say: there are bugs... Especially immediately after big updates. I started playing immediately after an update was launched that implemented "death and consequences" - basically, when you die, you lose whatever items you have on you & if your ship explodes, whatever items are stored on your ship explode with it. Ill reiterate the bugs...many of them lethal. Like walking into an elevator, the floor disappears & you fall to your death. Or running up a flight of stairs and being launched into space...to your death. Or the landing gear of your ship getting stuck IN the landing pad, so as you try to take off, your ship explodes...to your death. Bye bye equipped armor, weapons, ammo, etc. It taught me to "hold on loosely" and not get too attached lol and to be a minimalist when traveling. All-in-all this game is in a league of it's own & is truly amazing - unless you are impatient, prone to anger, or inflexible with your expectations. Cost wise, it can be between $30-50 minimum to get started with a basic ship. When you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy another ship if you want or you could trade up - trading in your first ship + throwing in another $XX for a bigger, better or different ship. You can also buy and/or rent ships with in-game currency which is pretty easy to accumulate - especially with the help of a decent Corporation (basically a guild). If everytime a person would normally buy a new mainstream game, they put that money into Star Citizen instead, I'm sure you can imagine how fast that would accumulate. Last but not least, they just launched their 2nd major update since I started playing, and each one seems to get bigger and bigger. More ships, more features, more content, more bug fixes lol... Definitely worth checking out. BTW they have semi regular "free play" events, where a person could try it out without the initial investment - at which point, what would you have to lose?
This may have been said already, but think of what’s been, and being done is laying the foundation for all to come. So many of the tools and tech has been created in response to the blockers keeping the game from being what it’s to be. Things like subsumption tech. Really CIG gas made some game tech they could in turn lease to other game devs. Crusader is the first fully rendered gas giant in any game ever. New tech had to be created to do that. Oh lord Robert’s hallowed be thy name. 😊 server meshing is what we are reeeeealy waiting for. Keep up the great vids.
This game is the type of game that has the perfect development and discipline cycle in which most games lack. It may never be finished, but it won't stop being worked on. Never abandoned, but never finished. That's programmer art.
While it is true that most critics greatly overreact, „perfect development“ is not true either to be fair. At least not „perfect development communication“
@@soldatnrvier5816 My point is, the game may last longer than others in the grand scale. I know it's not perfect internally, as a game developer I already know this. No game has what I say is perfect development, but this one seems to do better in the regard of slow methodical development rather than fast and rushed development. I just hope it keeps up in this state. I don't own the game yet so I can't say for sure, but I've watched a ton of great content on it and feel comfortable giving it my praise.
This was the ship that first sold me on the game in 2015. I finally bought one in 2020 with the St Patrick's Day package. I love it and can't wait until smuggling gets implemented.
My only issue with the phoenix is that if you have a client, they have to enter through the grungy cargo elevator or the main lift. Main lift is not bad but it is in to the crew quarters. Executive clients shouldn’t have to go through the crew areas in my opinion. Otherwise it is beautiful

if ye get 2k people to use your code they give you a javlin destroyer
Thanks! It looks awesome.
I know beginners probs lay can’t afford that ship and it’s wee lil’ lad I’m the belly, but your enthusiasm makes me want to play the game. lol
What specs were you playing this on?
will by it! love it!
Just hearing how happy you were just docking and undocking your snub should be an indicator why people play this game. There is a lot of negativity around the game and this just shows how much excitement it can bring to people
right? like just being able to walk to my ship and take off, then walk around on it while its flying is still amazing to me. I always giggle when i dock the sea moth or prawn suit to the cyclops in subnautica lol.
The loudest negativity comes from those who have never played it. They're just unhinged children jumping on a bandwagon. Adults should know how to recognise and ignore this when it happens.
@@Tonk1e ok boomer
@@B.D.E. i have played it and i disagree
It was fun for like a month or two at best
After that it became boring because of the lack of content
Like dude, i have done like every mission atleast once and they are very boring
New ships aren’t fun when you can’t use them if you don’t grind for a week
The features that have been promised are cool but i doubt they will ever come to the game
@@LarnelTheThird Well thats the beauty of a game. You don't have to play it. lack of content? There is new content pretty much every 3-5 months. Like completely new content and not just a new paint job for your fortnite skin. New ships are not fun because you have to grind to earn them..Is that what you mean? So you expect them just to give you everything instead of play the game..lol..mmmmk MMOs are 100% not for you if those are you complaints.. lol
The 600i is almost 3x larger than the Phoenix, so, yeah...The 890 absolutely DWARFS the Phoenix. Even just in length, it's 61m vs like 200m. You could fly your Phoenix out to the 890 Jump mission to see how it scales. Should be good video content too. :T
It's funny hearing it referred to as "the city" when the entire planet is basically one massive city, but you're not wrong. LMAO.
As long as Cruise Control isn't active -- and Coupled Mode is -- your ship should actually stop when it exits QT, so you don't NEED to be in the pilot seat at the time.
A bit like Tokyo. I have no idea where the city of Tokyo ends and the next one begins.
one caveat to that- ALWAYS move off the arrival point by a few kilometers, because ships QTing in from the same region will pop out right on top of you if you don't. LOT of collisions that way :)
@@BreandanOCiarrai Meh ... There are more caveats there - If you linger too long after exiting QT on main travel lanes you might also be ambushed and shot at destroyed by other players.
@Lucid Strike - Decoupled mode On/Off does not matter in space after exiting QT. Unless thrust is active (coupled mode plus auto - where Auto cannot be engaged while decoupled) the ship will go nowhere beyond the QT exit spot - while in space. IF you are decoupled as you exit QT while going down to a planet city location - Yes gravity will take over and pull your ship towards the ground ending in a "boom".
Rule of Thumb: No Gravity = No VTOL needed.
Also - Why Olli kept putting it in VTOL mode in space makes no sense. (1) VTOL barely works (2) VTOl on most ships is pointless until you get to ships like the MOLE /RAFT /Reclaimer etc ... where they are weighted heavier than the base thrusters can handle - the Constellation is not one that needs too much VTOL - and definitely doesn't do anything in space.
Welcome to sc. Always remember if you ever have questions ask away. You will find most of the community more than willing to help. SC has the best and most helpful community in gaming.
similiar to flight sims in that regard
This looks absolutely epic, would love to see loads more Star Citizen content
FYI, this is pretty much it. The game has almost no content other than mining, space UPS, and spaceship jousting.
@@evolicious Bounty Hunting, Cargo Hauling and trading, Bunker FPS missions, Ship Wrecks Treasure Hunting, Refueling for prophit.
Hi and welcome to the Verse, just a few things :
- While there is no real consequences when you're in a hangar, try to take the habit to ALWAYS close your ships before leaving it, you don't want to see your fully quantainium loaded future Starlifter fly away without you because you let somebody take the control of it by letting the ship open.
- Speaking of, yes it's nice to have a bigger cargo, but more risks of pirating come with it. Try to avoid the more obvious delivery roads. A good way to do it is to QT to a secondary road, interrupt your QT in the middle of nowhere and then QT to your final destination, doing this you will avoid being on obvious trading routes and QT interdictors ships as Mantis. Maybe also considering doing these high risks/reward routes offline, because stream sniping is a thing unfortunately in SC. Also notice that big cargos ships gets more attention, meaning you're not a noob anymore so pirate orgs who let noobs go their way should willingly attack you more.
- And if you get caughed, well best thing to do is negotiation, it is highly appreciate by pirate orgs with ethics (Mongrel Squad for example).
- About the 890, just know due to alpha state wipes are still possible (none have been announced for 3.17 though).
Cordially
Literally the most immersive game out there. You actually feel like your a citizen in the verse!
Tbh I feel more like an unpaid tester in an early access alpha. It's a single, relatively empty system with little in the way of connected and cohesive gameplay. But yes the tech is fairly Impressive.
@@barroxbarrox1857 there literally are hovercars with dense NPC traffic of ships flying around..this is the far future, people don't drive normal cars in cities lmao
@@B.D.E. it has gameplay and very impressive tech, but no real progression..yes, it can feel like you're a playtester, but then again..you are one, so...that's literally what the alpha is. The devs get the data from your gameplay session to fix issues and improve the game, and also people submit bug reports and actively discuss with the community and devs of things they want and issues encountered. It may not be an MMO yet, but it WILL be. It's not for everyone for sure, but it's far from being a scam or whatever else those toxic people say
@@chobai9996 Duh, why do you think I wrote it. It has extremely limited 'gameplay'. It's one of the weakest aspects of the alpha. I know the copium huffing whales who are in too deep will pretend otherwise though.
I have faith in the long term project, but I'm also honest and frank.
@@B.D.E.
Very happy to see a positive star citizen video. So much negativity around it, i understand the reasons but its such a beautiful game. if you haven't seen wallys bar in microtech check it out, looks ridiculously cool
Yeah, when it's not a buggy mess the game looks and plays amazing. Just a shame that it's being milked by those greedy devs for bullshit. At least people can still have fun with it.
To be fair most negative press surrounding the game is valid. Just because a few small things ware kind of okay doesn't outweigh the glaring issues.
Yeah, it looks cool for the first time.. aand that's about what this game offers, a space trip that gets boring after a couple of hours.
@@TheKorejen these are all opinions though. There’s a huge amount of people who play daily, for more than a few hours and love it.
I’ll be honest, I have a break every few months, as content is lacking at the moment. But unlike a lot of other games updates and content is constant
it's shiny detailed graphics are literally the only thing going for it, LOL.
Definitely looking forward to more Star Citizen content! Love your enthusiasm.
Thank you brother. There are some games that just absolutely capture us, this is definitely one of those games. So immersive, massive, and just aesthetically pleasing overall. Can’t wait to have this game. Thanks for uploading your experience with it.
Fun fact, the crew racks double as escape pods. The racks are enclosed in a box which eventually can detach from the ship.
He also forgot about the hot tub, which doesn't have water right now but still...
Something about the ships in this game - more expensive ones aren’t just bigger better versions of less expensive ones. They all have their own feel and quirks - it makes it fun to experience the ships rather then just ‘GRINDING’ for the most expensive one
that's a fair point, and more over the biggest ships often have serious draw backs for a solo player. The Hammerhead is a prime example of a powerhouse that really needs a crew to be any value at all. To me this effectively limits any pay-to-win arguments as people who have pledged for the Hammerhead, Polaris, or even Idris are going to be wrangling up a crew to have any use from their major investment anyway. Meanwhile those who have played the game to grind for an Eclipse or Vanguard Sentinel or other single seat fighter can lay waste to those "pay-to-win" big ships just as easily as those who bought a dedicated fighter for their package.
@@NagginNuggs exactly, and one of the big drawbacks of multicrew ships, is their operating costs. NPC crews will not be cheap. A lot of people who own Idris's already, will have them in drydock for a long time haha
Yes. Still pay to win though in the sense that matters to players. Important to be honest.
@@B.D.E. pay to win? lol thank you for pointing out that you dont actually play the game.
Definitely looking forward to more content on this. Love anything to do with space.
Game looks a steep learning curve and time consuming but will look into it.
There will be a free fly event in May. You will be able to download and install the game for free and play for a week or two. The free fly event will also provide several ships for free that you can try out to see if you like the game. I don't know more specific dates right now. Also, the players online are almost always very helpful which is good because the learning curve is VERY steep and because the game is still in development there are still bugs. Sometimes very frustrating bugs, but most of the bugs are no worse than a game from Bethesda where you point and say look at that funny bug.
It's worth it.
Best with people still great alone though 🙂
Asking someone to show you around and teach controls when you're in for the first time is recommended. SC is seriously lacking in tutorial for now. Well, lacking a lot really :)
And yes, time consuming is a good way to put it. You can spend hours in game without actually achieving anything but still having good time knowing that.
if you do get it, morphologis has some pretty good guides on how to best start the game
Your comment about it being a “slow game” is exactly what keeps me coming back to it honestly. It’s just nicely chill if you want to do chill things.
“Sit tight, grab a beverage..it’s gonna be nice”.
Just discovered your channel and this game and your gameplay intrigued me. 114 videos to binge. Here we go.
Me too. This will be a lot of fun.
About 2,280-2,290 minutes. Have fun
I started watching you / subscribed because of your star citizen videos. Glad I wasn't too far behind from the first video. You should do a series with episodes!
Thank you for giving some coverage to Star Citizen and no less from a fellow Phoenix fan! Can't wait for personal hangars so you can tune your ships and leave them hang out without storing. See you in the verse brother.
Original backer from 2012 here and I think this man nailed it better than most when he said "it feels like a place". You can wrap it up in whatever words you like but that's what it really boils down to for me, the places feels like places, the things feel like things and while it still has a little ways to go, there are some NPCs who feel like people.
And a couple of pointers from a guys who's been playing fairly regularly for nearly a decade:
-When you drop out of quantum above a planet don't worry, you're not going to fall, it treats you as "in space" and even if your engines are off you'll drift to a stop when you leave your seat.
-If budget allows, get a HOTAS. Flying with mouseykeyboard is easier to begin with but once you get a little practice you'll find it has a fairly harsh skill ceiling, a HOTAS or even a plain old joystick will allow you to pull manoeuvres that are simply impossible with a mouse. And those landings will be a lot easier.
-the 'unlock' command in the cockpit has nothing to do with the snub fighter, it just allows strangers to push all the buttons on your ship.
-On the funding thing mentioned here, it's not actually in big numbers for a "triple A" game it is however the most successful crowdfunding campaign in history.
-And for new people, keep in mind it's been in a janky as hell alpha state for a loooong time and will be for some time to come so make sure you're ok with that before buying (minimum is US$45 last time I looked). Having said that for all it's faults it IS a lot of fun for all the reasons mentioned here and there IS an actual game to play.
-For the negative nellies, if you want to see an actual scam along these lines go have a look at Star Atlas.
And I'm gonna be a cheeky bugger here and throw in my own referral code😁STAR-9MKP-SL6L
Another Secret: If you own the Piano Hangar Flair, you can swap out the conference table by the bar with it in the Vehicle Loadout App in your mobi-glass. And it plays Moonlight Sonata!
I did not know this. Now I gotta go get the damn piano. Because why not!
Be nice if the Jukebox did the same. But something about music copyrights I guess.
If I understood it correctly, that was a very limited time thing and is no longer available to purchase. If it IS still around, I would love to know where to get one.
I think seeing you mine in SC would be great fun!
Happy to see you discover Star Citizen, a game very close to my heart for yourself!
Since 2020 Star Citizen improved a lot as far as I see. Thank you for sharing! Seems its time for me to buy it!
honestly the best part about this is the train ride. Not enough games do stuff like that that would exist in real life.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you yet but as an FYI you can move the camera about a good bit more in third person. These controls work on both foot and in a ship. Once you have pressed F4 you can not only do the panning movement you were doing by holding z but you can also; hold F4 and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, Hold F4 and use the arrow keys to move the central location the camera rotates around, hold F4 and use page up and down to pan the camera up and down, Hold F4 and use plus and minus on the numpad to increase and decrease the fov, and hold F4 and use home and end to adjust depth of field.
When I first started playing, there wasn't any Arccorp yet. There was just Port Olisar with everybody trying to ram your ship on the launch pad. This game has gotten so much bigger and better.
Oh yea definitely. You been out for a long time it sounds like. Soo much been added
I love the reactions of new and returning citizens… glad you are enjoying it!
Loved the streams of this game. Can't wait for the twitch streams
Is there a stream of his first return to star citizen?
Really enjoyed that, would love to see more. Bring on the mining video.
Love seeing these positive, excited "first impressions of SC" videos. Really pleased for you that you are enjoying your games. Hope the bugs and the occasional insta-deaths aren't causing you too much grief, but you seem to be having a good time, so that's what counts. I wonder if you are excited for any of the other game loops, like bounty hunting or cargo hauling (in the new Raft for example), or even the upcoming salvage? Anyway, fly dangerous (or chilled, if you prefer ;) Thanks for the fun content o7
You definitely won’t die if you’re out a seat when you’re done with quantum. Also, whatever quantum drive you have on your ship, you should definitely replace it with an xl-1 drive that you can get from port tressler, or cousin crows in orison. That cru l1 to arccorp flight should be about 4.5 minutes.
I'd argue the Hermera is better than the XL-1 in some regard; The XL1 has a range of 125.1Mkm at a speed of 260,701km/s whilst the Hermera has a range of 357.44Mkm, at a speed of 126,626. You'll barely need to stop for fuel, and you keep a respectable speed, which is really good if you're chaining missions, or doing something like trading where your main focus is efficiency, so you wouldn't want to wait for your ship to refuel. Now the XL1 is good if you are doing activities within a sector/system i.e Sticking around a planet & its moons. But for long range travel, its not as feasible as you'll be spending profits refueling and time waiting on the tank to fill. But honestly anything is better than the stock Bolon.
@@sphinxoforion7422 arccorp to microtech is ~60m km, as long as we’re stuck in Stanton I’ll take twice the speed and still have enough range to make the longest jump in the system twice. Once we get to pyro I’m sure range on larger ships will become a consideration, for now I don’t think it is.
@@sphinxoforion7422 quantum fuel is so cheap that I would rather get there in 4 minutes than 10 minutes for an extra 200 creds
@@Ace-uu4hj Yes however, next patch the first form of Quanta is coming into the game, which affects the price of fuels, ammo, and repairs. So the price of fuel will drastically fluctuate up and down. Also filling a ship can take thousands rn, my MSR on average takes 2300 for quarter of a tank; Which is chump change but still cuts into profits, and next patch it maybe upwards of 5k+ or as low as 800, thats the glory of Quanta
@@shadowglass14 Ok...thanks for reiterating what I said I guess..?
Love this game, glad you uploaded something on this!
Nice! What do you spend most of your time doing in SC?
@@Olli43 playing with friends really I stopped grinding for some reason
also, mining showcase'd be very cool!
If you want to multicrew mine, it's very fun.
The 0 munition on the turret might not be a bug. If you look carefully at your power's triangle when on your pilot's sit, you will notice that you removed all power from the ship weapons.
How would you go about to putting the power back into the weapons?
for those who don t know about the game and the 890J, you should do a video about the boarding mission on it :) that woud show how big it is and interior ( or safest solution, ask another player ^^)
Cant believe this only has 100 views i already searched up the origin ship and its huge like 20x bigger than your current
Fantastic video and enthusiasm mate - very much a like! It's very easy to become jaded and stop seeing the brilliance that Star Citizen is with the passage of time, but seeing content like this reopens your eyes to what we actually have and what is yet to come! Thank you!! (btw did you know the Phoenix has a hot tub on the main deck!)
Welcome to the verse! Glad to hear you have the same sentiment we that have played and supported this project for many years.
Been in since the kickstarter.
This game has so much bad (often incorrect/uninformed) commentary around it. It would be nice if you can convey more of what you may have heard, and found to be false/misleading in your adventure with it.
And yes, it would be very nice to see a mining video of the process and path you chose to enjoy in your journey in the stars.
A link to your Twitch in the description would be nice. I did find you though.
Your spirit is quite enjoyable to sit with through your videos.
Its worth noting: It was not announced in 2014/15, it was announced in 2012 with a kickstarter campaign. It also is not the largest budget game, this is a common myth. GTA V has cost way more to develop and maintain than Star Citizen could even dream of (while initial budget was 250 mil, they have spent hundreds of millions since launch to maintain it). In fact, Star Citizen's budget year-to-year is lower than many AAA studios working on stuff like Assassins Creed or Call of Duty. (COD spends somewhere in the ballpark of 200-250 mil per year, SC spends about 80 mil).
On the bright side tho, I'm really glad you are having such a good time and have found some peace in this game. It really is something special and while we still have many many years to go (probably like 8 tbh), its already a wildly fun game and I'm super excited for the next 18 months of updates.
Welcome to SC and the Verse. I'm glad to see another happy member. The Starlifter C-2 is the Cargo king at this time with 692 SCU capacity. I see people talking about the MSR, that's not feasible as it only has 114 SCU of cargo space which is a fraction of what you want. Most people will be happy to help, but there is always the occasional griefer and troll online, just have to ignore those. If you ever want a tour and to fly the C-2 let me know. Happy hunting.
I'm saving up for the exact same ship but for different reasons. I need something that can carry ground vehicles for more hijinks.
I would look into the mercury star runner. It is better in almost every metric.
@@citizenzero5437 Alternative for this. Connie Andromeda, can carry around most vehicles that you would want to do solo or in a small group. Still has the snub fighter (for extra multi crew fun) and unlike the MSR doesn't suck in combat.
@@citizenzero5437 the down side to the msr is all the fucking doors, I always run the Taurus and I love it, you can load up a vehicle and send the cargo elevator up as you take the elevator a door away from the cockpit
Starlifter is the best and can carry all land vehicles. Just can’t be a peasant.
Love my MSR! Have the Fortuna + Fortuna Ursa, can fit my ursa, dragonfly, and hoverquad with a little space to spare, been enjoying my 400i as well as of late, carry a cyclone, dragonfly, room for a ptv or nox in the nose with a bit to spare. Only thing I wish the MSR had that I appreciate about the 400, a quick way to the bridge, only one way in/out through the cargo bay rather than having an elevator or second ramp
Would love to see you mining as I'm curious to mine Quant but haven't done it yet. Maybe you already did that. The 890J is cool! The Herc C2 is my favorite ship. :) Good vids, good editing, good narration and voice.
I totally get what you mean about the ads and how the 'Verse looks 'lived-in' and populated by companies, brands, ads, food, etc. It's all immersion, and it's just a fun place to 'be', similar to how Stanley Kubrick's slow pacing in 2001: A Space Odyssey lets us 'live' in the moment instead of rushing us through scenes. To me, SC feels like I'm the start in a Kubrick film (slow pacing), but with a modern hard sci-fi aesthetic similar to Blade Runner, Fifth Element, or Oblivion. When other games ignore details such as ship interiors or planet/atmo transitions, we lose a lot. The game is so good with these fundamentals that simply flying from place to place is extremely edifying, long before we worry about complete game loops, or all features and content.
CIG have built an extremely solid foundation, and I think we're seeing a critical mass of interest because of it. Thanks for bringing light to the game via your popular channel!
So just a few things to point out, that you may know already..
1. It was the coupled flight mode that was stabilizing your ship like it was, VTOL really doesn't do much at the moment for most ships in terms of stability. (There is a weird thing with the landing gear down that can be useful but that's another deal)
2. If your ship gets stored for timing you don't get fined for that, its no issue.
The Constellation was my first ship back in 2013, loved it from day one ;D. Still love it. Even while everyone was complayining about its hields back before the rework of shields.
10:55 you will only fall down on planet surfaces if you are in the gravity of the planet. As you arrive from quantum you should be far enough to not fall. With heavy ships like the Reclaimer you definitly feel the gravity.
So crazy to me to see people talking about their FIRST SHIPS and they're talking about ships that cost hundreds of actual dollars to get.
Great Video! Welcome to the Verse. The Connie Class of ships are the bomb. The Constellation Andromeda is one of the best multi-role ships in the game. It does multi-crew, it bashes bounties, does decent for a mid-range cargo hauler, can carry a wide variety of vehicles. The biggest learning curve to it is just learning how to maneuver a big ship. I will say though, the VTOL functionality is not yet implemented on the Connies yet, but the doors are there for it when it is. Some ships like the Cutlass, Mole, or Prospector for example, actually fly different when in VTOL mode, the Connie flys the same doors open or closed. It does look cool though.
I have the C2 Hercules and I love it. I do however use smaller cargo ships to move Ore though. One lesson you learn in SC eventually is to "not put all your eggs in one basket" so to speak. There are still bugs that can cause you to lose ship and cargo. You don't want to lose too much in case one of those happen. o7
The one gripe i have with the connies is there is not toilet/bathroom for guests. High paying guests are supposed to use the crew toilet up front? It's a literally coffin size box with a basin and a hole to do your business lol. Biggest oversight of that ship by far.
Actually I enlisted in Star Citizen on Sept 12th 2012, and the Kickstarter had already been running for at least six months! My No is 5505. I was 61 when I enlisted, I'm now 71 and don't hold out much hope of ever seeing S42! But hey, I've had a great time and still am. Great video by the way
Your Enthusiasm is Contagious! I’m not sure if you are doing it for the vids, or you are naturally such an engaging speaker? Either way, it works! I’ve been watching Star Citizen for a couple years, your vids by far, literally makes me happy as well. Living with chronic pain daily, happy and laughter helps!
I have most of the parts for my pc build for Star Citizen besides Video Card (ugh), gaming chair and mounts. So maybe I have to bite the bullet and fork over the coin for a 3080ti, I just hate giving in….
Maybe someday you may start and org and get on Twitch.
I kind of appreciate this slow, procedural, and meticulous take on game development. A game that you get to watch progress and grow throughout the years off of the support of its community is very cool. This game looks very barebones at the moment (it’s an alpha of course) but it has massive potential
You can check your distance from your destination by just looking at your mobi, no need to get back into the seat :). Also you hear a distinctive 'deceleration' sound when you're nearing the destination as the ship starts to slow, and means you got about a minute before you pop out of QT
Great video!
SC has come a long way and keeps doing so.
Also, is the spare ship in the back really a secret for anyone who isn't brand new?
Damn, that purpleish lighting when you gracefully completed your landing in the city there, was very cool. Would be awesome to be able to say "RED ALERT" (click a button) and the usual lighting would be dimmed with a red one that would act like the purple did there. " Different light settings does add so much atmosphere, its crazy! 18:27 for reference. Nice video!
3.17 has had an amazing Detail pass for 1440P. Controls for the Connie are updated and look excellent. (I have an Andromeda). Do yourself a favor though go to Area 18 and buy the Crossfield jump drive for the connie, its sooo much faster, the 40M KM jump would have taken between 3-4 min. Also you can absolutely get on the cargo ramp or front entry and lower it during QT, it looks awesome I have lots of screen shots doing that
The detail of this game is insane
Thanks for the video! My favorite Constellation variant is Phoenix :) Also agree with you on immersion it's a beautiful game. For the full experience tho, I strongly suggest joining an active organisation/community. Just so much fun with people
DO THE MINING SHOWCASE. Not speaking for other viewers, but for someone who doesn’t have a spec’d out PC it’s really cool to watch someone thoroughly walk through playing it like this. & I’m not even a gamer! Lol.
been playing myself for a year, but hell yeah, do a mining showcase. From Handmining to Asteroid mining. Great to watch you
Dude “twice as big…”, take the boarding party mission. The 890j is way more than twice. One floor is larger than a Connie. 🤣
I like your life goals there though. 👍💜
if you want to mine quantanium.. then go to the moon of lyria near your home planet... all the L1's have refineries.
Turret doesn’t fire in quantum mode.
game was first announced in 2012
best speed to play is walking speed, scroll shell changes walking speed :)
you can generate a link for your referral code rather than just copy pasting the code which people don't know where to use, the link is made when you select the "twitter" option.
Also subbed and liked...
good to see your genuine excitement to play.
You cant imagine how happy I am seeing you playing this masterpiece and its definatly great to see another style of videos cause most creators like bored gamer(also great conetnt) have a different style, so yeah its just great to watch :)
"Masterpiece" 😂😂😂😂😂
@@drummer2443 Yup, however much you want to hate it and make fun of it, it is. But keep on trolling buddy, if that is How you like to spend your time. And yes, I like to spend my time playing Star Citizen with my friends rather than trolling on youtube becuase I hate something :)
@@CeSuDuCovers I play it too buddy. Not saying it isn't pretty good, but calling it a masterpiece is laughable
@@drummer2443 how is that laughable? They literally created something no other developer has done before. That stupid reacion is laughable. And yes i am angry about that stupidity because people spread stupid shit Like that. There are so many things that can be critizised about the development but people tend to Pick out the most stupid things and reacion because of their utter Lack of understanding. It is so Frustrating because it feels Like it is absolutely impossible to discuss the actual Problems.
I have the Phoenix as well & the 890 Jump. I love the luxury ships or as I like to call them the “Party Boats”. Hehe. Great video, love your enthusiasm. ❤️👍
I usually just turn on music and do some delivery missions in this game, it is so peaceful
Ever since I started watching videos about this game, I'm definitely looking forward to playing Star Citizen once it's done.
When you referred to your Phoenix as a fairly large ship I thought how nice it would be if your where to park it next to my 890 Jump. For science of course. :)
Not jealous…. At all….
😫😫😫
ahahah ive done that then parked my carrack there too
@@Olli43 Don't be to jealous. Like anything big and fancy, it takes resources and time to maintain.
CIG did an amazing job with that ship...
But I wouldn't want his fuel bill.
You can get rid of those stutters in quantum drive by having the game and OS pagefile installed on different PCIe 4.0 SSDs btw. A good idea since it's only going to get worse. If you don't have PCIe 4.0 nvme slots, the only other way to eliminate them is 128GB of RAM. Remember that you're crossing a dozen Skyrim maps every second when quantum travelling.
F2 goes directly to the map. FYI.
I've really been enjoying this series, RUclips has brought me back to this video so I guess I'm going for another round! Very easy to listen to in the background whilst I'm pottering about the verse
12:49 "it's an older code sir, but it still checks out"
started backing this game in the first year. It has been a long yourney and it doesnt go fast. but its so so cool and realistic. still play it daily..awesome to see you enjoy it so much.
HEY OLLIE GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK and with this banger of a game , it honestly needs more recognition so I'm extremely happy to see you play it I hope the rest of your fanbase enjoys the game as much as you do , I hope to see you upload alot more of this . Welcome back to the Verse Ollie !!!
im not a huge fan of streamers generally, so having you do the intro and then just your voice explaiining things and the gameplay itself is perfect for me
Remember that ships bought with ingame money could be lost if the team decides to do a wipe after a large patch. You can only keep them forever if bought with real money so keep that in mind and then there is insurance to consider aswell.
One of the best space games ive ever played, since 2015.
It was EXTREMELY rough in those early days, but the last 2 years have seen massive changes to the core game itself, with mostly if not majority of positive results from those changes.
It takes a long time to get where the game wants to go, but when it gets even halfway there, other dev studios still have 10 years of catching up to do. We're in it for the long haul, just like EVE Online players.
But i'll be honest about one thing the trolls say, they're right, for the reasons they dont comprehend.
Star Citizen will never be "finished", because it'll continually be updated.
Just as EVE Online still today isnt "finished", because it also continues to evolve.
So when someone asks "when is Star Citizen released?", simply answer, it is released, you can play it right now. It wont be "release-released" in the future, because its an evolving game, just like any MMO.
EVE Online wasnt finished on release day.
Nor was World of Warcraft.
Nor was Elite Dangerous.
And thats a good thing.
"Holy cow, this guy said its a GOOD thing that SC will never be finished??! LOL OMG".
Yeah, because "finished" means its thrown to the side and forgotten, updates stop.
If you love a game, you dont want it to be "finished", people dont want EVE Online to be "finished", they want to continue playing through as the game changes, grows and evolves.
There's this weird myth that "finished" means that a game is better than something that isnt finished.
I dont think Aliens Colonial Marines, despite being a "finished" game, is better than Escape From Tarkov, which is NOT a "finished" game, and for the record, also has no release date. Yet there's no drama about Tarkov.
Why? Because its a good game. That's fun NOW, regardless of what label you attach.
Luckily Star Citizen has also become fun now, and hopefully will continue to evolve in the right directions.
"Finished" means nothing. It's today and the future that matters.
Well I mean, it can be finished, in terms of actually having the MMO experience the game is meant to be. Until then, it's not what it's supposed to be. I get what you mean, but there is no progression to the game and no permeance. The persistence and reputation system will help us get to that point
Well, I think finishing the core of the game that was promised is the important thing. Then additional updates and amazement can occur.
Great vid, been playing for around 5 years now, game has come a looooong ways XD ! The Starlifter you'll enjoy I'm sure, Crusader ships are good ships; I'm a Mercury Starrunner owner myself. Looking forward for your mining vids ;)
Let me repost this comment I posted above one a bit further up. Whats your true opinion on it, bias and convincing aside. A genuine answer that doesnt try to persuade us lol. Would be nice to know. Having the game is a conflict of interest, I'm aware, but hoping you have a good response lol. Seems like a great game in theory, just have heard a lot of frustrations.
I would love to get this game but being unemployed has been limiting my expenses at this time. Really love the space games and everything futuristic. Really enjoyed this video, Thank you. +1 Like 👍👍
At 17:50 you can see the bar in the back of the ship thru the skylight.
I have an 890J if you ever want to check it out, fly it around, stuff different vehicles in it... let me know
-Shows us coolest ship in the game
-Leaves out the jaccuzzi.
Welcome back Olli43! Time for more GTA5 parkour!
Thanks Leo!
Hearing your excitement reminded me of when I first started in this game. So glad you are enjoying the experience! Welcome to the 'Verse Citizen o7
The thing is that Stanton is just the first SYSTEM they’re gonna make. That’s crazy! There’s gonna be so much to explore
I backed the game back in the days as well, been trying it out for a day or two between patches but never really got into it as the frames killed my setup.
However I did go all out during the first years and got a collection of ships I'd like to start learning, I'll try out 3.17 for real thanks to your vids, having no idea what I'm doing. :)
Cheers!
now this is what i call an open world game... not just a game with a big map and many side quests... imagine what gaming will look like in +50 years with the newest tech
HOLY SHIT A BIG RUclipsR WITH SC? LET'S GO
Ikk
Favourite ship?
@@Olli43 ooh, hard one. Probably the Mercury Star Runner. That or the 400i.
@@Olli43 scorpius and retribution
Load the Ursa rover in connie and land near bunker [out of turret range] and drive rover to bunker. The you can fill Ursa with dead guys, drive back to connie and loot all their weapons, armor and dump the bodies Now in 3.17 you can sell loot at the gun shops & armory.
I tried SC a few years ago now and controls seemed very complicated to me (i don't have a joystick or HOTAS just mouse and keyboard) so it took me a bit to learn how to do even basic flying. What i was really put of though was other players who were ganking the space station i was on constantly so whenever i tried to undock and fly somewhere i would get instantly killed and it made for a terrible experience. So i quit and never looked back. Really what im waiting for is Squadron 42 singleplayer game to come out so i can ease into it hopefully and then try out SC once again
There is no landing pad killing anymore.
They banned it and you can report players for doing it.
I came back to the game about 3 month ago and i have to say its fun to play as it is right now.
I also use mouse and keyboard and its fine, no need for joystick or hotas.
Just a quick correction, the game has been in development since 2011. It's not the most expensive game, but it does have the funding of a high budget "Tripple A" game but without a publisher.
I have been a long term fan of this game. Its development is slow, but it's consistent. The tech behind the game is insane, and it's only getting better. The trade off to this is that the game is very buggy, as features are added and altered it brings in or resurfaces bugs, and although there is a large effort every patch to fix bugs, a lot of patches can still be buggy. Performance improvements are constantly being made, but again some patches are more playable than others.
If you do plan on getting it you only need to buy a starter package, everything is/will be earnable in-game. You should also be aware this game isn't kind on hardware and it is essential you install it on an SSD, a HDD does not cut it, and will lead to an awful experience.
The SC community is one of the most helpful communities you will find, if you have any questions or issues never be afraid to ask, someone will help you.
Fly safe everyone! o7
Also, free fly event in May. Download and install and play for free for a week to see if you like the game.
Active development for the MMO didn't start until 2015 when we voted for it. The single player game the kickstarter was for also didn't have procedural tech, and had a budget of 500k
Just pointing out that what we play now has little to do with what they were planning in 2013, and that's a good thing
Your enthusiasm makes me want to give this game a try. The Fun Pimps are gonna be jealous. Great video.
I hope to god they make space piracy fun and profitable. Literally no space sim has a fun space piracy mechanic. Elite would be fun if they added a way to slow the ship down rather than fucking ramming into the ship repeatedly. NMS recently added one but its new so lots of bugs.
Been playing since Nov & love this game. The coworker who introduced me described the realism as: "they created the game to be just like 'real life', then dialed back a couple clicks so it wouldn't suck."
Whats your true opinion on it, bias and convincing aside. A genuine answer that doesnt try to persuade us lol. Would be nice to know. Having the game is a conflict of interest, I'm aware, but hoping you have a good response lol. Seems like a great game in theory, just have heard a lot of frustrations.
@@SilverrulezGaming Keep in mind, this game is still in alpha. Yes it's been around for a decade, but they've built it from the ground up, including the game engine. As I understand it, they spent a year just creating the first planet. Of course, the more they create, the faster it goes as they can reuse textures and all that.
All that to say: there are bugs... Especially immediately after big updates.
I started playing immediately after an update was launched that implemented "death and consequences" - basically, when you die, you lose whatever items you have on you & if your ship explodes, whatever items are stored on your ship explode with it.
Ill reiterate the bugs...many of them lethal. Like walking into an elevator, the floor disappears & you fall to your death. Or running up a flight of stairs and being launched into space...to your death. Or the landing gear of your ship getting stuck IN the landing pad, so as you try to take off, your ship explodes...to your death.
Bye bye equipped armor, weapons, ammo, etc.
It taught me to "hold on loosely" and not get too attached lol and to be a minimalist when traveling.
All-in-all this game is in a league of it's own & is truly amazing - unless you are impatient, prone to anger, or inflexible with your expectations.
Cost wise, it can be between $30-50 minimum to get started with a basic ship. When you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy another ship if you want or you could trade up - trading in your first ship + throwing in another $XX for a bigger, better or different ship. You can also buy and/or rent ships with in-game currency which is pretty easy to accumulate - especially with the help of a decent Corporation (basically a guild).
If everytime a person would normally buy a new mainstream game, they put that money into Star Citizen instead, I'm sure you can imagine how fast that would accumulate.
Last but not least, they just launched their 2nd major update since I started playing, and each one seems to get bigger and bigger. More ships, more features, more content, more bug fixes lol... Definitely worth checking out.
BTW they have semi regular "free play" events, where a person could try it out without the initial investment - at which point, what would you have to lose?
Didn't realize the scale of the game...love the little details
This may have been said already, but think of what’s been, and being done is laying the foundation for all to come. So many of the tools and tech has been created in response to the blockers keeping the game from being what it’s to be. Things like subsumption tech. Really CIG gas made some game tech they could in turn lease to other game devs. Crusader is the first fully rendered gas giant in any game ever. New tech had to be created to do that. Oh lord Robert’s hallowed be thy name. 😊 server meshing is what we are reeeeealy waiting for. Keep up the great vids.
FYI STAR MAP - you can double click most points to zoom in.
It looks amazing. I wish I could play on console. But the small fighter looks like a Galactica star viper fighter
It is nice to see that Merlin finally functional. Gotta give it a try myself now.
You can stand on the elevator/cargo bay and extend it no hassle when in QT
Yea the luxury ship without a toilet in the passenger section (the only one is in the crew section where you enter the ship)
This game is the type of game that has the perfect development and discipline cycle in which most games lack. It may never be finished, but it won't stop being worked on. Never abandoned, but never finished. That's programmer art.
While it is true that most critics greatly overreact, „perfect development“ is not true either to be fair. At least not „perfect development communication“
@@soldatnrvier5816 My point is, the game may last longer than others in the grand scale. I know it's not perfect internally, as a game developer I already know this. No game has what I say is perfect development, but this one seems to do better in the regard of slow methodical development rather than fast and rushed development. I just hope it keeps up in this state. I don't own the game yet so I can't say for sure, but I've watched a ton of great content on it and feel comfortable giving it my praise.
This was the ship that first sold me on the game in 2015. I finally bought one in 2020 with the St Patrick's Day package. I love it and can't wait until smuggling gets implemented.
who would know that this would be one of his first of very very many star citizen videos :D
My only issue with the phoenix is that if you have a client, they have to enter through the grungy cargo elevator or the main lift. Main lift is not bad but it is in to the crew quarters.
Executive clients shouldn’t have to go through the crew areas in my opinion.
Otherwise it is beautiful
Finally more famous YT is knowing this beautifull game
