Finally found my way to your channel after seeing you on Inforunners so many times. So glad I finally did! Like 99% of us, your choices are deeply personal, but what separates Citizens like you is that you have t he game play behind your choices. I'd say that anyone who's played as much, and experienced the ships as much as you have, has a grasp of what works. Something I feel I have made a mistake with for my own fleet is applying any CCU chains before a ship has been released I currently have an Orion and BMM which I feel could have been gotten cheaper if I had just waited and slowly acquired more advantageous CCUs. So I was happy to hear for you that you are still building your CCU chain for the BMM. Thanks for the video. Always interesting to hear what veteran players have to say about their experiences with various ships.
Splendid. Always good to hear your reasoning and thought process behind this, especially as you understand larger ships ships need support. Merry Christmas!
Love your fleet and thought process. For me the Perseus is an extremely efficient combat ship. With four persons you can effectively tie up a big chunk of any enemy fleet. It's also well suited for convoy escort duty.
My only disagreement here is a technicality on the med bay issue. All ships in real navies will have at least a medical station onboard, with usually a corpsman/medic or two assigned. Not a full size hospital or anything, but enough to stabilize you until you can get to somewhere better. Thats what I wish these ships had. It doesnt have to be a full medbay you can respawn in, just something to stabilize you long enough to get you to a proper facility.
I agree. Even large industrial ships SHOULD have a dedicated medical room - if a proper treatment facility is not feasible due to size, something like an infirmary with medical supplies geared towards stabilising injuries or patching up minor injuries would be sufficient enough to at least give assurance to the crew. This goes double for the Reclaimer, since salvage crews can and have detected / stumbled onto still-surviving crew members during salvage operations in the present day. Before anyone claims that such a situation is inconceivable, I will reference the Tug Jascon-4 which capsized and sunk on 26 May 2013, off the coast of Nigeria. Due to the rapid sinking and lack of distress beacons / calls, it was assumed all the crew perished and a salvage team doing retrieval and recovery operations called in. One of the salvage divers was surprised at encountering a survivor who managed to survive in an air pocket for over 60 hours.

Wonderful fleet video. Loved that it really was representative of your history and interests rather than feeling like a buyers guide at all. Well done!
@@DrinkersWithGamingProblems it was a nice video to listen to while getting some air doing chores for the fam mid holidays. Happy holidays to you and yours mate
One thing to add- if you don't enjoy using or flying the ship - do you really want to keep it? Even if you managed to pick it up cheaply via CCU's. The revers of that - if you enjoy flying and using that ship, maybe add it to your list. Nice initial point about only using disposable income for ship purchases.
Seeing this late, but loved this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your fleet -- especially regarding the 'inconsistency' in rationale. I definitely am working through a similar blend of logical and emotional reasons for targeting certain ships. Sometimes the two complement each other, other times they conflict. Newly subscribed, and happy belated New Year!
Seems like a solid fleet. Percy should be a lot of fun with hit and runs, generally feel it will be better in terms of time/use, (Polaris is just too many crew/a Weekender at best). Def agree CCUs are needed for some like the Prowler, the Idea of it is great but it's a ~200ish ship not a 400+ one.
(aka Chipperdoc) I'll admit, I came here because of the Perseus ( ;) ) but great to see your fleet composition and the reason behind it. I have some of those myself! By the way, if you want to borrow the Reclaimer at some point to try it out, I have one with upgraded components you can use.
Have fun building that ccu chain you should get to try at least 4 (-8) ships you really like on the way to percy (mine are hornet ghost, msr, San tok yak, 600i)
There is so much about design and intent that is misunderstood. You being on ships irl and the comments about fluidity of movement that you have seen, it is obvious how many people are mistaken about roles on a ship crew. The stoker is never going to, nor is he meant to come forward from the boiler to operate the radar or sonar station! He is meant to work and die in the engineering section! If repairs need to be made.. he will make the repairs in the engineering section or an adjacent compartment. Cross trained in firefighting and first aid but those would also be used in his section. I think everyone is going to want an exciting job in the video game world one that lets them be the movie hero. This leads to a lot of solo game play in MMOs. Thanks for the video!
Ill b reporting for duty my guy!!! Couldn't agree more with the C1. It was my must have ship, didn't care about how it flew or whatnot. They met my expectations and then some. So much fun to fly
I got the exact same moment with the reclaimer! what a moment! I thought about to upgrade my vulture to the reclaimer but that would not do it for me. I plan to use it as snub ship for my crucible parked in the bay If I repair with it and to harvest materials on the fly if something cant be fixed. Would you consider the Crucible instead of the Vulcan? Really like your Videos Badgers keep it up ! Always like to see you at Inforunners with Exe and Algared and others always fun to watch you guys! and happy holidays !
I'm not very combat focused, but we have similar taste in ships. Logistics, industry, support, and disruption. And on that last point I'm mightily tempted to extend my Orion chain to get the Perseus instead, and that's thanks to you.
I accidently made 2 lti bmm ccu's back when they were still 250 and threatening to purge $0 ccu's. I'd be willing to send it over for that (rsi gift card or whatever) so I can fill the gaps in my crucible ccu chain. Was going to turn the spare into a crucible originally but $0 were gone by then. The ccu game is always a big old mess so figured I'd give a content creator I enjoy a 2nd option since it's collecting dust and I've got unaplied ccu's for the soon tm big ships if I ever wnat to go that big.

@@Adjudicator1 exactly!
I wish they would take out the bright lights inside the cockpit of the terrapin.
Agreed!
@@DrinkersWithGamingProblems I really like the terrapin, except for those lights.
It's good to have a fleet building voice that's still grounded in solid reasoning but focused on preference and ship fantasy.
Thank you! Glad you found it useful!

Really glad you enjoyed it!

I will pair my Polaris with your Perseus 💘
Polaris GANG
Sold!
An epic fleet! Really has me reconsidering my builds. Thank you for the awesome content
This I think was my favourite video of yours. A really good well thought out explanation of your fleet.
Thanks mate! I did this style at the Major’s suggestion - and if you enjoy the style then stay tuned for next weekend…

Absolutely - and so many features not yet implemented, so it’s hard to figure out just how effective it’ll be

Thanks mate! I might just take you up on that! I won’t fly it though - stuff I fly tends to explode!
Decided to join you in the Perseus owners club mate. Going to call it Repulse. Looking forward to joining you in the raising squadron 😃👍🏻

Excellent work, sir. I dig your fleet and the logic behind it. 😉👍
Thank you muchly!
Really cool fleet, hope mine will be like that someday. Currently it only is a 400i, X1 and tiny little PTV
Whether you buy or earn it in game, I’m sure you’ll have the fleet you’re hoping for!
I got the exact same moment with the reclaimer! what a moment!
I thought about to upgrade my vulture to the reclaimer but that would not do it for me.
I plan to use it as snub ship for my crucible parked in the bay If I repair with it and to harvest materials on the fly if something cant be fixed.
Would you consider the Crucible instead of the Vulcan?
Really like your Videos Badgers keep it up ! Always like to see you at Inforunners with Exe and Algared and others always fun to watch you guys!
and happy holidays !
Thanks mate! The Crucible really is an enigma right now - I’ll wait to see the next update to see which way I go on it.
Follow up question isn’t medvac rl profession if so can’t wait for your review of ship
I'm not very combat focused, but we have similar taste in ships. Logistics, industry, support, and disruption. And on that last point I'm mightily tempted to extend my Orion chain to get the Perseus instead, and that's thanks to you.
Love those choices! And rest assured, I’ll be looking at the Perseus very closely once it’s in our hands!
What your next ship should be is the Starfarer Beerfarer. Think of all that booze you can transport around the verse.
Very, very drunk!
Btw, u have an insanely awesome holidays Badgers!!!
And you mate! Catch you in the New year!
I accidently made 2 lti bmm ccu's back when they were still 250 and threatening to purge $0 ccu's. I'd be willing to send it over for that (rsi gift card or whatever) so I can fill the gaps in my crucible ccu chain. Was going to turn the spare into a crucible originally but $0 were gone by then.
The ccu game is always a big old mess so figured I'd give a content creator I enjoy a 2nd option since it's collecting dust and I've got unaplied ccu's for the soon tm big ships if I ever wnat to go that big.
Pers wolfpacks attacking
Merry Christmas
Cutless red ain't bad but personally Apollo or medivac is gonna be good
o7 merry xmas
And to you, buddy!
This is the worst BUYERS GUIDE Ive ever seen 👀🤦
Kiddin. Thx for giving us a run through of your fleet!
I know right! Thanks mate.
Perseus needs a medical room in it doesn’t make sense for a warship to not have one
