But lets face it, if you can afford an 890 Jump (in game or with real money) you aren't likely going to need to use it to haul cargo for a profit. It's basically just a status symbol, something to fly around and show off. Though I could see a lot of roleplaying possibilities, a mega wealthy Corporate CEO who takes it out to check up on his corporate holdings, a young playboy from a wealthy family who uses it as his "party boat" to joyride around the galaxy with his friends, perhaps even an evil mastermind with expensive tastes who runs his criminal empire out of it.
And that CEO or playboy would not fly that ship by himself. Thats what a employee is for. That means that the owner will occupy that nice suite (is the Captain supposed to sleep with the crew ?) and that it is very strange that the bridge is accessed via the atrium.
I was thinking of the roleplay possibilities as well. Another to add to the list is a space cruise. Charge players or organization members to board/get a room on the ship as you and your crew travels to different planets for the guests to visit. Will especially be able to do this once more systems get added. Maybe even add cruise like activities to the roster as well as you travel lol
I was lucky enough to fly my 890 Jump, HC Newport, as one of the VIP transports for the Daymar Rally a couple years ago - and it was a blast total blast, and it reaped the benefits you would expect of luxury seating and such for an event - it was great to network, to chat with org leaders, and generally enjoy myself. What's more, I learned quite a bit about how to manage the ship -- and not only covered the race quite well, but never ran out of fuel even over the course of the many-hour run if you can believe it.
Fuel consumption is an issue. People have found ways to conserve fuel on spectrum. Devs said cargo and fuel is not finalized.. theres still hope for an 890 explorer!
Hey farrister I know this video is old but if you had a choice between the Anvil Carrack or this which would you take? Disregard money and my main goal is exploration forget about contracts and missions for the moment and just pure exploration which would you pick?
Good honest review. Ya, I think safe to say for average player, not much to feel left out on as simply not that useful for sheer gameplay needs. Beautiful looking tho.
@@Farrister I suppose so. That would really ruin the immersion for me, however. I might be the only chap on the server doing some hardcore roleplay, lol.
@@Farrister I haven't, but I can infer from your comment what was said. However, I wouldn't be surprised if some bounty hunters were willing to pose as a cruise chef, for example, just to get aboard such a ship and complete a bounty.
@@Farrister It's not a huge deal as of now, but definitely should be addressed in a later fix for sure. Also, love your videos! Your ship tours are top notch!
Never understood these type of ships, the design etc. To me it looks a bit silly. Every time I encounter one or its smaller cousins it breaks immersion a bit, they just look out of place imo.

Probably true!!

Oh wow I forgot this thing has a pool! Haha. The crew/passenger space is pretty well separated but that elevator in the spa needs an opaque cover.
I would have liked to see a more obvious difference between the 2 elevators, but yes :)

That's awesome!!

Best way right now is not to move other than in quantum xD If the cargo bay could ferry cargo, the 890 could be incredible!
600i looks way stunningly beautiful
I do like the 600i, I'm also taken by how old this 890 Jump video is!
Farrister, thank you for this review as well as the one on the 600i Explorer. Keep up the good work and I truly like your review 5 Section format.
Thank you for your encouraging words :)
Great summary Farrister. Thank you for your very accurate comments. I agree with you on the verdict.
Thank you kindly, this is one of my oldest Star Citizen videos!
Definately my favourite ship!
A high flyer, I see!
time for an update to show the new docking option at stations and to update in-game cost - otherwise, spot on and excellent job as always!
Haha yup, there's a few I could do with revisiting now!
"We are now a Pocket Carrier!"
Love the way you guys work the ship. +1
This ships looks amazing on the inside. And the cockpit reminds me of the Anaconda from Elite lmao
So good!
Not much larger actually, tho cutter is prob closer to how look inside/overall length.
Correction. The co pilot seats access two remote turrets and one accesses two remote missile turrets
It just drives me crazy how the've messed up the stair set in the Lobby Room but still a great ship and great video
An old video too!
Bruh, with how much space the 890 jump has inside, it should have 4000SCU worth of cargo area!!!!
haha, lots of space inside!

So beautiful!
Im not a start citizen player so forgive me if this question sounds obtuse, but why isn’t the actual cargo space of the ship unusable?
How do you mean?
What ship did he climb out of at 1:55?
Can someone please tell me
Origin 85X
i lvoe this ship, i use it as a glorified missile boat haha
How does the battle bridge work if you can't see?
If you're not a big fan of realism, you can use external view
This is not the sort of ship that the executive would pilot himself.
I think that the reality is that most of us will pilot our own ships. I guess that's the difference between the 'lore' and the gameplay.
@@Farrister I suppose so. That would really ruin the immersion for me, however. I might be the only chap on the server doing some hardcore roleplay, lol.
@@TheSilence1 I think people would more readily roleplay the King than the pawn! Did you see CR comments this week about NPC?
@@Farrister I haven't, but I can infer from your comment what was said. However, I wouldn't be surprised if some bounty hunters were willing to pose as a cruise chef, for example, just to get aboard such a ship and complete a bounty.
@@TheSilence1 me too. My brother and I are getting the 890 and we roleplay and very active. Join my crew and make my 890 your home.
This ship would be useful if you could actually use it for it's intended purpose, as a Cruise Ship for Wealthy Guests
Well I suppose you could... if you were big into roleplay
Why would a luxury party yacht need a battle bridge???
All luxury party yachts should have one! xD
@@Farrister lol!
The top is very exposed and not far from airlocks, I imagine you would lock yourself in the battle bridge to avoid an hijacking.
Why deploy 1 fighter... deploy a squadron of Furies 😁
Lol why do the guests have access to the armory area
Ummmmmm - no idea xD
@@Farrister It's not a huge deal as of now, but definitely should be addressed in a later fix for sure. Also, love your videos! Your ship tours are top notch!
If you wanna explain something (what you do good) try to move your mouse slower. Otherwise its becoming really ugly for the watcher
Thanks - this was one of my first reviews! Hopefully you will think I made some progress on the newer ones :)
How do you get this thing??
At the moment, you pay CIG a lot of money!
Loreville 32 mill
Never understood these type of ships, the design etc. To me it looks a bit silly. Every time I encounter one or its smaller cousins it breaks immersion a bit, they just look out of place imo.
This ship gon cost around 72mil after the patch
Quite possibly!
NO COPYRIGHT!!!!
Captain Cindy's Space Yacht Ship
