At this point it's more enjoyable for me to watch other people play SC than it is for me to play. There are so many good systems but they're overburdened by clunky, needlessly complicated interfaces. Great vibe, really enjoyed your commentary and playing, Olli.
I watched this tonight while I made dinner and then couldn’t wait to get on and stop grinding. I told myself I wasn’t allowed to take any missions, I had to start with a starter ship (Cutter FTW!) and I was only allowed to loot what I could carry on my person from outposts. I ended up finding a cave and getting a ton of hadanite using a box I found from a wreckage, salvaged a couple of guns, made enough money to do some trading, I tried to salvage some cargo from a Carrack and got a rescue when it went south. It was the most fun I’ve had in Star Citizen in a long time. I think I only made around 30k (no pun intended) but it was great! Thanks for the inspiration, this was a fantastic video!
I buy in game the Cutlas Red (rescue) for the Org I'm a member of and I find myself using it for missions when I know I'm not going to do any ship combat. The med beds are super handy after bunker missions :) Always suppress your guns so they cant track you as well. It really helps!!!!
Thanks Olli. The issues with Treasure Hunting is that there are times when the loot boxes are empty, locked or don't spawn making it frustrating. Also I think the Yellow boxes only spawn on the crashed ship sites not in the bunkers. I also like doing the abandoned out posts where the loot boxes are grey but they spawn unique weapons and armor and the alien artifacts. This is where I got all of my nerf guns you can use in AZ. Also there are the different colored multi tools you can get. The issue with abandoned out posts is you have to fight NPCs to get to them.
The gameplay on your video seems so much smoother than on other videos i've seen. The movement of characters and ships all seemed unrealistic and choppy or weightless. This seems soooooo much better. I don't know if it's your settings or you're running a much newer version, but it actually makes me want to give the game a try.
Having at least 32 GB of RAM, turning off e-Cores if you have a newer Intel processor, using at least an RTX-2000 series graphics card or newer, and not below the xx70 models, and _mandatory_ using an SSD, especially an M.2 NAND if your MB has a slot for one. These are the _actual_ specs to run SC well, forget the "minimum" their website claims.
I do check while I'm looting but it says empty. After storing that same loot at my base; it sometimes will later spawn loot in the pockets (which I first notice when see the blue bar indicator).
@@Spork82 That is what tipped me off, when I'd drop a bunch of bodies (don't judge) and loot them onto my ship, then dump that at my preferred station. When I'd eventually equip the looted armor, I'd notice things were in them already so I started looking and it's been pretty consistent and worthwhile for me to at least check.
I say this only with curiosity and no hostility at all, I promise. I want to understand this game and what people love about it. I confess some lack of knowledge about its development beyond the gripes people have about how long its taken, etc. I think I also heard that fans of this game are defensive of it because of bad faith and aggressive critics who are more interested in making people feel bad because of the things they like, so I want to get ahead of that and say that I am not some troll who wants to make star citizen people mad. I can definitely understand how people love the ambience, and the art style, and the bucolics, and the ships. The ships especially are sick, lovingly designed, all the animations and the way everything is physically interactable, it's clearly lovingly made. I acknowledge as well that the purpose of this video is to play through parts of the game that are more mundane if I understand correctly, and that it isn't a finished game either. But I watch this video and it seems to include more or less indistinguishably all the features and the gameplay loop that Starfield has for example, only it was critically panned. It kind of just seems like all there is to do is go this way, go that way. Maybe to a more or less empty badlands style planet or something. Take an elevator to a bunker, nothings really in there, snoop around some crashed ships which seem to clip around the environment. again I know this isn't the flashy stuff, but is it the run of the mill average experience of the game? I feel like surely I am missing something. I'm a big TTRPG guy and I know Matt Colville loves this game, and he's a brilliant game designer. If he likes the mechanics of this game, surely there is something to it, some gameplay loop which 'reinforces the fantasy' as he would say, and I'm looking for it. I noticed you picked up that ship's gun to sell it. Is that where a lot of the game is? selling stuff to other players? to an NPC? What do you do with the money? I don't know anyone who plays this, and with all the updates and assumed knowledge of a game this niche, I have a hard to getting answers by looking myself so I thought I'd ask. Again, not raining on anybody's parade. Any answers I'd appreciate. Thanks y'all.
You're not missing anything. Feel free to try the game during one of its free to play events. Its creators and community are obsessed with simulation of the inane, prioritized over technical competence, stability or any semblance of fun. They'll go nuts that you can drop litter in some dirt patch and there's a small chance you'll find it in the dirt the next morning (assuming the servers didn't glitch out), but how that leads to any kind of entertainment is not really a problem anyone seems bothered to solve.
So funny when you're talking about how good the game looks, " oh my just look at that" and there's literally a ship phase shifting in and out of a mountain to your right.
*searched for star citizen, saw thumbnail* and now is this the first footage i've ever seen of star citizen :d funny your amazement in the video that so many have never played the game
I believe it's the other way around, if I did play Star Citizen, I probably wouldn't be watching others play it, but I don't even own a PC, so of course I watch people play the games I can't.
The reason some people watch is to see the state of the game, how it has improved... and if it is worth trying yet. Till then, any desire we have to play, you and other content creators satisfy 😁
Agreed...I couldn't stand the buggy nature of the game any more. After dying 7-8 times by spawning into a wall after waking up, I gave up. Anyone know if it's fixed yet?
I don't play Star Citizen YET! PC parts on the way and will be joining the verse asap. Haven't built a PC in 15 years or so I think. Got a AMD R9 7950 X3D and an MSI 4090 Supreme Liquid X with 64 gigs of ram on a ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero board. I'm hoping it will handle the game well.
I am one of them who doesn't play, I am a recovering gamer, I play nothing. But while at work, avoiding the mind-numb, this is EXACTLY the video I look for. 'Sour' with DayZ and this kind of video stuff, just love it.
I’ve stepped away from star citizen to play other releases for a few months, but glad you’re still enjoying. I have flown the cutty black several times and my friend bought one as his first ship, played about 4 times and is now giving it some more time in the oven. Understandable.
I love the idea of SC, the only issue is the crazy time it's taking to finish. That being said, I find myself playing more and more, even with the bugs and wipes. That being said, the cutty black is the 2nd ship I buy in game, right after a prospector.
I agree with what you said. Tbh I was starting to feel a bit down about it and starting listening to the negative nancies about it sadly. Thankfully the pilot put out a video talking about his experiences working for them the renewed my faith in the game lol. Currently I have an esperia talon and a cutty black myself. I love the bounty hunting side of things and the talon is fun for that. The cutty is my general purpose ship. And eventually I'll get another ship but I'm not sure which one I'll get. Though it'll be a long time before I get a new one anyways
scrapjet made some videos about this, they disabled to enter NPC fighters a while ago, you can still enter the ships with actual interior, shooting the doors. Only way to open fighters cockpit is softdeath, and then its useless anyways.
I’m one of the people who hasn’t flown a cutlass black. Just never been big on how it looks tbh. And nowadays I really just fly my prospector and mine on planets. If my buddies are on we take out a reclaimer. Getting ready to enjoy the Zeus as a possible driver for when I’m not mining. (Big Arrastra hype over here)
How could Starfield be more famous than this game ? I followed Chris Roberts when he developed Wing Commander in the 90's. It was just amazing (dozen of floppy disk 3.5). You had digitized voices, videos, etc... never seen before. All the gameplay took place between the ship and the space stations (no planets to travel through) but it was just amazing ATM. I didn't believe in his Star Citizen project at the time but now I see that he has remained the same, the true pioneer of games set in space. A legend.
I loved this game, played for like a week then refunded because I was tight on cash and needed the $90 back. Going to be downloading again soon, can't wait to jump back in! This game is truly something else.
What a small world, you love to go on multi-day challenging quests for items and goals AND I LOVE WATCHING PEOPLE, SUCH AS YOURSELF, GO ON MULTI-DAY CHALLENGING QUESTS FOR ITEMS AND GOALS. MY FRICKING MIND IS EXPLODING BECAUSE OF SHEER SATISFACTION ... sir!
Yeah it would be pretty scary to enter your ship and find a space monster T-posing inside it and then glitching out through the floor causing the ship to explode.
Sure, lets add another 6 months/ 1 year to the definitive release of the game lmao. There is lots of stuff to do and there will be more but is the game really be finished one day if we keep adding new stuff to it?
Me, I have never fly a ship neither played, but I watch most of your content because it's awesome, keep up to good work! Also this game is probably the game that I'm most anticipated that it keeps getting better, and hoping that one day it gets good enough to make me pay for a package, been waiting for the free to fly date to try it and see how it runs in my machine, but I'm guessing I will have to wait for it to get vulkan and optimized.
As someone who has never played SC yet desperately wants to (my computer is a potato and I don't want to spend thousands on a proper one) I think I can speak for that segment of the poll who said "no" when I say that I pretty much experience the game vicariously through these videos.
I just started. Been playing for 3 days. I watched the Zero to Hero videos from H.O.I.D. and it reminded me of the no-holds bar gaming from my time in Ultima Online in 1998 (I'm old). Loving it so far.
Haha, I was in Junior High playing Ultima Online from beta to release. Absolutely great times in the wild, and this definitely has a similar sense of danger, but a loooot less pvp. Pvpers in Star Citizen exist but a lot more rare than Ultima Online. Wow, great memories!
@@tomiisan8g155 I had just gotten out of the US Navy. I started playing while looking for my 1st civilian job and got totally hooked. Corp Por, Kal Vas Flam, meant.... run away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@kingknossosthebull9796 Ohhh man! I just remember trying to mine and make armor for myself, then just getting insta popped, and robbed. Multiple multiple times. I did have to turn to the dark side...
Loot hasn’t been good since pre-3.18. I remember during the 2022 Hallowe’en Mask event, I found lots of awesome armour, which was erased by the 3.18 wipes. Since then I haven’t found any helmets or armour worth mentioning. In terms of weapons, I already have so many Railguns and Missile Launchers I don’t bother, but I ALWAYS loot Grenade Launchers when I’m lucky enough to find them. Your ship was NOT safe just because the doors were closed and locked. That player could’ve broken into it with the weapons he had by getting the weapon’s muzzle inside the ship’s shield and shooting 1-2 mags of P4-AR into any door to break it open. I prefer LMGs and Shotguns for door-busting, but the weak-hulled Cutty Black is really easy to open.
I am a total loot goblin. I've been doing Mercenary contracts and looting as much as possible. Any abandoned ships may lose their weapons if I'm around.
Ngl you should do this as a series. I don’t have the game, but I am looking forward to trying it and just getting solid gameplay is something I would love to see.
I never played Star Citizen, because i can't afford it :( , so i watch your videos playing it, cause it's the only way to expirience it somehow. I want to play it so bad tho.
I feel this.....as a small creator and newer channel Star Citizen can really be hard to record for. I'm not full time and have a day job so when I get home nothing is worse than getting armored up and ready to go only to get to your mission and have a 30k....pretty much wiped out my whole evening as it's usually to start over. Cheers to this style!
I have not flown a cutlass! In fact, I have not flown any of Drakes ships. I have the Mule. I went from a Titan to a Freelancer, then to the MSR and i love it!
I can't wait to play this game at the end of this year. By them perhaps I'll be able to steal a ship like you tried to do. Also planning on teaming up with Ollie, I know you'll probably still be around it'll be an honor joining your team.
Hello my unknown friend. And regards from germany. Thank you very much for making this video. Honestly, after seeing this one it has intriqued me to have another look at SC again. It had become boring and for my patt I thought that I probably will have died in rela life before this endless developement has even come close to being final THE GAME I was hoping for. I wish it‘d be different but the last time I looked into SC was about 2. years ago. It had become way too much pew pew for my taste, but watching you having a truly good time…. liked it and once I have occupational wise the time again I will check my account and update the game. Kind regards and see U perhaps arround in the verse
About your poll, I would love to play SC, but until I have a PC that can run it or it comes to consoles I’m fine just watching/learning the game through RUclipsrs. As for the percent that only played it once, they probably don’t have a PC capable of running it but didn’t know until they tried, or found it a little too daunting and or buggy.
Server Browsing makes now sense (to me) in what's supposed to be a fully-online-streaming all-players-in-one-sharded server environment... maybe I'm thinking they didn't say it was gonna be A SINGLE UNIVERSE.
no, the real star citizen experience is running around a city in 20fps for 20 minutes tryna find the ship bay, you take 10 minutes to spawn in and find your ship, another 10 minutes trying to get out of the hangar, 20 minutes of wondering if your ship is actually going out of orbit or not, 10 mins of struggling with the controls, warp to a different planet, damage your ship in a stupid way, alt f4
i have never played star citizen myself but it is my number 1 game i want to play. now i have to upgrade my pc before i can think about buying this game, but if/when i upgrade this i feel will be in my top 3 games of all time.
I'm a total Drake fangirl and the Cutty Black is a solid ship but my favorite remains the Vulture. Waited on it to come out for years and grabbed it the moment I had the chance.
The 6% who had only played SC once had probably had a bad day like a patchday or even worse a free fly event with patch day and then some event like Xenotreat or the like and some sale event. These are phases where it's hard to get into the game and if you do, you can't have any fun thanks to low server FPS, extreme bugs, massive 30k's, etc. So I can well imagine that some people only tried it once and then didn't come back. However, this is the big mistake by CIG, that they combine such stress tests with free fly events and combine them with other events and patch days. These are players and also potential pledgers that CIG loses this way.
I've flown the cutlass black but it simply isn't my kinda ship... I think that's what i'm missing in SC, I tend to use the Constellation as my 'medium-large' ship, but i don't really have a small ship i enjoy flying. I also have an issue with the corsair... the asymmetrical part, yeah, but the rear door is made with hydraulics but have electronic sounds for opening and closing xD So far I go between the pisces medical for my small ship, and pretty much immediately go to a constellation (taurus is what i have) for most other missions. I own a Galaxy with all 3 modules with LTI, and I plan to get a polaris if my org/crew ever gets big enough... I'm a bit of a fan of RSI, so much that i've considered ordering the shirt and hoodie xD I cant wait until the galaxy is done, which shouldn't be that long since most of the ships that size are done, and the only ones that are in progress are either released in the last year or two, or simply aren't small at all. That being said it's probably a year or more out, but it'll be great once it is! I'm enjoying the random gameplay over any kind of 'cool' things everyone else does. Exploring derelicts... for example. Gotta love when players are cool... and don't immediately shoot you :D... oh wait... lol I'm gonna pay a visit to the garden after work :)
Sometimes you can shoot the canopies or doors to open them. You may have to shoot them a lot though. May not be a good idea to shoot them with a rail gun... lol
the ship you took the c-778 cannon from was a aegis vanguard harbringer and the missiles with a lightning symbol is tracking your electricity of your ship so flares dont work i just usually hiy U
its nice to watch this sort of gameplay, I cant play because of the constant stuttering. And to think I upgraded my system a couple of years ago for SC, now I cant even play it.
same. I CCU from Avenger Titan to Cutty Black. Even after CCU away from Cutty Black, I went back and bought it in game. It's just such a great utility.
@@Thegamingdino133 i hear everyone call this game a scam, just started looking into it. what is wrong with this game. and i just bought starfield, hoping its good, but this looks kindof cool
@@voltic1499 It looks great but after so much time thats all this game has. There is no substance other than a pretty looking tech demo. The game has no style to set it apart. The gameplay is so barebones and janky. Its been underdevelopment for years and still hasnt got anything to show for it.
@@Thegamingdino133 I actually got here because of Starfield. It's just such a lazy corporate turd that I wanted a proper space game and saw Star Citizen. Starfield is not even a space game. It's just fast travel 300ft away from a guy you have to talk to or a gang you have to shoot. Rinse and repeat. I saw sleeping bags outside on a planet that's -200C temperature and solar radiation warnings. Just absurd.
I work with someone who loves to watch videos on Star Citizen. We get into conversations about the game every other weekend shift I get. I asked him if he wanted to join my disorder and join up with my friends, and I was surprised to discover he had never played the game. It turns out he doesn't have a computer with necessary specs to play it. 😮
Never been in, let alone flown, a Cutty. I went from from a Titan starter directly to a Vanguard Sentinel and an Eclipse bought with real $$...then added a C8X as a get-around ship.
Server browsing won't be a thing in star citizen, they'll be using server meshing which will basically overlap servers and people in the area, if a ship blows up theoretically it'll be across all those servers until someone salvages it.
cutlass black is kinda like the farm truck of star citizen. it hauls, and it's almost too useful. but it's not the sports car you show off to your friends.
I always saw the Nomad as the Space pick-up truck, Its the only ship I own and have been loving it so far. I just haul a ROC around in the back and farm away ^_^
All other space sims should be ashamed of themselves. Shout out dangerous elite tho damn i loved it on ps4. Thanks for the introduction to space sims, you rock.
The ole Cutty is the first ship I ever bought and tbh that was like 2-3 days ago! LOL. Saving for an Arrow or Vanguard next possibly, not 100% on what I wanna do but man this game is addicting. So happy I got into it recently. A lot of my motivation to get the game was from this channel :)
Ive not flown the Cutlass Black! I went for the Freelancer initially back around 2016, but the FL really needs an update to compare to the Cutlass nowadays
last time i played after pledging so much money i was able to walk around the hanger and do nothing but look at the ships .. was a few years ago might be time to look into this game again
0:08 I hope CIG one day lets you go Treasure Hunting so you don't come off a trigger happy mad man killing other people for there stuff and yes I'm also talking about NPCs 26:50 those are rare but that's because they only sold it once so more then one guy has it and in game only the Navy are suppose to have them and you can Thank all the players that have stole them for the reason you can't steal them CIG doesn't want you to have them till SQ42 comes out as CR wills it
Interesting to me how the Cutty Black's daily driver counterpart, the Freelancer, beats it in the numbers in pretty much every single way, but it's the Cutty that everyone has or has flown at least a dozen times and thinks of as Ol' Reliable. Is it that it's cooler looking?
Your laugh is just amazing. You such an awesome guy. Btw as for the poll you did the other day, I am one of the 40% that don't play this game because I don't have a decent laptop/pc so I get my fun by watching you play it lol Love from Wales bro 🏴🏴🇬🇧
Awesome vid. And to what you said, some games i only like to watch, like dayz or rust and also this one. Always seems to recomend you for this one :D GG
Jiiiiiiha!!! the real Olli is back!!! Love when U just do these vids and something crazy always happens!! to bad U could not get to fly that ship at the end! Cheers
I've never flown any Cutlass 😅I'm more into trading and mining, but was cool to see this gameplay and interactions. The reviving was cool, such a nice guy 😄(being myself shot several times only to be looted), kudos for fairplay. Speaking of looting, i'm astonished you guys leave armor, guns and stuff back. When i go to places i always loot, and selling that afterwards grants quite some money, i've been able to buy a Ursa and a Cyclone MT only with loot money. Maybe pennies for you, but actually worth a bit in the long run. Getting a free vehicle is dope, once i found a semi destroyed titan, could take off with it and stayed in my ships inventory until the wipe, but couldn't repair it. PS: does selling the salvaged ship components got fixed? I have one of my ships full with them and can't sell them anywere, not even in NQA Terminal of Cru-L4...
I always think the same anytime I see any SC youtuber not pick up guns and/or armor that's worth plenty. My guess is they just find it too tedious to be worth it.
@@Wolfeygames I heard him once saying he's such a loot goblin. Maybe he skips it when streaming/making videos to simplify, or then he has a total different concept of looting than us 😅
You may be surprised. I've played on a 2080 and a 6800k for quite a bit. Just don't be an fps snob and you'll be fine. Even the fastest computers barely break 40 fps in some of the major cities

Haven't built a PC in 15 years or so I think. Got a AMD R9 7950 X3D and an MSI 4090 Supreme Liquid X with 64 gigs of ram on a ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero board. I'm hoping it will handle the game well.
I am one of them who doesn't play, I am a recovering gamer, I play nothing. But while at work, avoiding the mind-numb, this is EXACTLY the video I look for. 'Sour' with DayZ and this kind of video stuff, just love it.
Same, and the thing is the games nowadays mostly suck so we aren’t missing out on much
I’ve stepped away from star citizen to play other releases for a few months, but glad you’re still enjoying. I have flown the cutty black several times and my friend bought one as his first ship, played about 4 times and is now giving it some more time in the oven. Understandable.
I love the idea of SC, the only issue is the crazy time it's taking to finish. That being said, I find myself playing more and more, even with the bugs and wipes.
That being said, the cutty black is the 2nd ship I buy in game, right after a prospector.
I agree with what you said. Tbh I was starting to feel a bit down about it and starting listening to the negative nancies about it sadly. Thankfully the pilot put out a video talking about his experiences working for them the renewed my faith in the game lol. Currently I have an esperia talon and a cutty black myself. I love the bounty hunting side of things and the talon is fun for that. The cutty is my general purpose ship. And eventually I'll get another ship but I'm not sure which one I'll get. Though it'll be a long time before I get a new one anyways
@@daviddinges9168 Got a link to this video you mentioned?
scrapjet made some videos about this, they disabled to enter NPC fighters a while ago, you can still enter the ships with actual interior, shooting the doors.
Only way to open fighters cockpit is softdeath, and then its useless anyways.
I’m one of the people who hasn’t flown a cutlass black. Just never been big on how it looks tbh. And nowadays I really just fly my prospector and mine on planets. If my buddies are on we take out a reclaimer. Getting ready to enjoy the Zeus as a possible driver for when I’m not mining. (Big Arrastra hype over here)
How could Starfield be more famous than this game ? I followed Chris Roberts when he developed Wing Commander in the 90's. It was just amazing (dozen of floppy disk 3.5). You had digitized voices, videos, etc... never seen before. All the gameplay took place between the ship and the space stations (no planets to travel through) but it was just amazing ATM. I didn't believe in his Star Citizen project at the time but now I see that he has remained the same, the true pioneer of games set in space. A legend.
I have a love/hate relationship with the cutty black. Its an awesome ship, just super Fugly
I loved this game, played for like a week then refunded because I was tight on cash and needed the $90 back. Going to be downloading again soon, can't wait to jump back in! This game is truly something else.
What a small world, you love to go on multi-day challenging quests for items and goals AND I LOVE WATCHING PEOPLE, SUCH AS YOURSELF, GO ON MULTI-DAY CHALLENGING QUESTS FOR ITEMS AND GOALS. MY FRICKING MIND IS EXPLODING BECAUSE OF SHEER SATISFACTION ... sir!
This was an excellent video!! Makes me think I could get right back into the game. It's been a while since I played.
yeah you left again for sure
@@karimferraz8440 Haha. Nope!
my brain @ 5:26
i was crazy once, they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, and rats make me crazy.
They need to add some alien monster that can board the players ship like in Alien Isolation that would be cool to have some horror elements in space.
Yeah it would be pretty scary to enter your ship and find a space monster T-posing inside it and then glitching out through the floor causing the ship to explode.
Sure, lets add another 6 months/ 1 year to the definitive release of the game lmao.
There is lots of stuff to do and there will be more but is the game really be finished one day if we keep adding new stuff to it?
@@retardedgenius3816 🤣
10:55 : love the interraction with player in SC ! 90% doesnt use their MIC ! very immerssiv ! typing in the chat like in 90's
Me, I have never fly a ship neither played, but I watch most of your content because it's awesome, keep up to good work! Also this game is probably the game that I'm most anticipated that it keeps getting better, and hoping that one day it gets good enough to make me pay for a package, been waiting for the free to fly date to try it and see how it runs in my machine, but I'm guessing I will have to wait for it to get vulkan and optimized.
Thanks for the entertainment. Just the right length, some people are doing 1hr plus every video and if I've got an hour I plat the game!
18.55 - walked right passed a red box, and it as defiantly intractable!
As someone who has never played SC yet desperately wants to (my computer is a potato and I don't want to spend thousands on a proper one) I think I can speak for that segment of the poll who said "no" when I say that I pretty much experience the game vicariously through these videos.
I just started. Been playing for 3 days. I watched the Zero to Hero videos from H.O.I.D. and it reminded me of the no-holds bar gaming from my time in Ultima Online in 1998 (I'm old). Loving it so far.
UO was one of my favorite games. I still boot it up and play on free servers every few years. I totally see the parallels
Haha, I was in Junior High playing Ultima Online from beta to release. Absolutely great times in the wild, and this definitely has a similar sense of danger, but a loooot less pvp. Pvpers in Star Citizen exist but a lot more rare than Ultima Online. Wow, great memories!
@@tomiisan8g155 I had just gotten out of the US Navy. I started playing while looking for my 1st civilian job and got totally hooked. Corp Por, Kal Vas Flam, meant.... run away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old Shadowclan orc from Catskills and Siege Perilous
@@kingknossosthebull9796 Ohhh man! I just remember trying to mine and make armor for myself, then just getting insta popped, and robbed. Multiple multiple times. I did have to turn to the dark side...
Loot hasn’t been good since pre-3.18. I remember during the 2022 Hallowe’en Mask event, I found lots of awesome armour, which was erased by the 3.18 wipes. Since then I haven’t found any helmets or armour worth mentioning. In terms of weapons, I already have so many Railguns and Missile Launchers I don’t bother, but I ALWAYS loot Grenade Launchers when I’m lucky enough to find them.
Your ship was NOT safe just because the doors were closed and locked. That player could’ve broken into it with the weapons he had by getting the weapon’s muzzle inside the ship’s shield and shooting 1-2 mags of P4-AR into any door to break it open. I prefer LMGs and Shotguns for door-busting, but the weak-hulled Cutty Black is really easy to open.
Hey Ollie I don't have a PC so I can't play it but ever sents I started watching u really wants me to play it
The first ship that I purchased in-game with aUEC earned in-game was a Cutlass Black.
I am a total loot goblin. I've been doing Mercenary contracts and looting as much as possible. Any abandoned ships may lose their weapons if I'm around.
Lmfao I mean I'd do the same
Ngl you should do this as a series. I don’t have the game, but I am looking forward to trying it and just getting solid gameplay is something I would love to see.
I never played Star Citizen, because i can't afford it :( , so i watch your videos playing it, cause it's the only way to expirience it somehow.
I want to play it so bad tho.
I feel this.....as a small creator and newer channel Star Citizen can really be hard to record for. I'm not full time and have a day job so when I get home nothing is worse than getting armored up and ready to go only to get to your mission and have a 30k....pretty much wiped out my whole evening as it's usually to start over. Cheers to this style!
I have not flown a cutlass! In fact, I have not flown any of Drakes ships. I have the Mule. I went from a Titan to a Freelancer, then to the MSR and i love it!
I can't wait to play this game at the end of this year. By them perhaps I'll be able to steal a ship like you tried to do. Also planning on teaming up with Ollie, I know you'll probably still be around it'll be an honor joining your team.
Hello my unknown friend. And regards from germany. Thank you very much for making this video. Honestly, after seeing this one it has intriqued me to have another look at SC again. It had become boring and for my patt I thought that I probably will have died in rela life before this endless developement has even come close to being final THE GAME I was hoping for. I wish it‘d be different but the last time I looked into SC was about 2. years ago. It had become way too much pew pew for my taste, but watching you having a truly good time…. liked it and once I have occupational wise the time again I will check my account and update the game.
Kind regards and see U perhaps arround in the verse
Yes Olli, Moondusk Nightblade here, my Star Citizen name, I have operated most ships in Star Citizen and I absolutely love this game.
About your poll, I would love to play SC, but until I have a PC that can run it or it comes to consoles I’m fine just watching/learning the game through RUclipsrs. As for the percent that only played it once, they probably don’t have a PC capable of running it but didn’t know until they tried, or found it a little too daunting and or buggy.
Server Browsing makes now sense (to me) in what's supposed to be a fully-online-streaming all-players-in-one-sharded server environment... maybe I'm thinking they didn't say it was gonna be A SINGLE UNIVERSE.
no, the real star citizen experience is running around a city in 20fps for 20 minutes tryna find the ship bay, you take 10 minutes to spawn in and find your ship, another 10 minutes trying to get out of the hangar, 20 minutes of wondering if your ship is actually going out of orbit or not, 10 mins of struggling with the controls, warp to a different planet, damage your ship in a stupid way, alt f4
I think it's because your PC dosent handle it well
i have never played star citizen myself but it is my number 1 game i want to play. now i have to upgrade my pc before i can think about buying this game, but if/when i upgrade this i feel will be in my top 3 games of all time.
I'm a total Drake fangirl and the Cutty Black is a solid ship but my favorite remains the Vulture. Waited on it to come out for years and grabbed it the moment I had the chance.
The 6% who had only played SC once had probably had a bad day like a patchday or even worse a free fly event with patch day and then some event like Xenotreat or the like and some sale event.
These are phases where it's hard to get into the game and if you do, you can't have any fun thanks to low server FPS, extreme bugs, massive 30k's, etc.
So I can well imagine that some people only tried it once and then didn't come back.
However, this is the big mistake by CIG, that they combine such stress tests with free fly events and combine them with other events and patch days.
These are players and also potential pledgers that CIG loses this way.
The Culass is still my favorite ship whats not to love, good firepower, someone can coop the turret, can carry cargo or troops. FTW
I've flown the cutlass black but it simply isn't my kinda ship... I think that's what i'm missing in SC, I tend to use the Constellation as my 'medium-large' ship, but i don't really have a small ship i enjoy flying. I also have an issue with the corsair... the asymmetrical part, yeah, but the rear door is made with hydraulics but have electronic sounds for opening and closing xD
So far I go between the pisces medical for my small ship, and pretty much immediately go to a constellation (taurus is what i have) for most other missions.
I own a Galaxy with all 3 modules with LTI, and I plan to get a polaris if my org/crew ever gets big enough...
I'm a bit of a fan of RSI, so much that i've considered ordering the shirt and hoodie xD
I cant wait until the galaxy is done, which shouldn't be that long since most of the ships that size are done, and the only ones that are in progress are either released in the last year or two, or simply aren't small at all. That being said it's probably a year or more out, but it'll be great once it is!
I'm enjoying the random gameplay over any kind of 'cool' things everyone else does.
Exploring derelicts... for example.
Gotta love when players are cool... and don't immediately shoot you :D... oh wait... lol
I'm gonna pay a visit to the garden after work :)
great that you play i fps view, i actually see the marvelous details of surfaces, and scene depth
Sometimes you can shoot the canopies or doors to open them. You may have to shoot them a lot though. May not be a good idea to shoot them with a rail gun... lol
this
The drake cutlass black so happens to be the first ship I bought in game, I love this thing.
the ship you took the c-778 cannon from was a aegis vanguard harbringer and the missiles with a lightning symbol is tracking your electricity of your ship so flares dont work i just usually hiy U
its nice to watch this sort of gameplay, I cant play because of the constant stuttering. And to think I upgraded my system a couple of years ago for SC, now I cant even play it.
wait
why the hell am I playing Starfield and not this
Because you haven't bought it yet?
I personally have not flown the Cutlass Black but I was in my friends Cutlass Black gunner position during Arena Commander.
u videos r nothing short of enjoyment one of my favourite contents💯
The Cutty Black was the 2nd ship I ever owned in SC. o7
same. I CCU from Avenger Titan to Cutty Black. Even after CCU away from Cutty Black, I went back and bought it in game. It's just such a great utility.
I want this game so bad. Ive started watching cause I wanna learn how it all works! A space sim has been my dream forever
Get starfield instead. this game is a scam.
@@Thegamingdino133 i hear everyone call this game a scam, just started looking into it. what is wrong with this game. and i just bought starfield, hoping its good, but this looks kindof cool
@@voltic1499 It looks great but after so much time thats all this game has. There is no substance other than a pretty looking tech demo. The game has no style to set it apart. The gameplay is so barebones and janky. Its been underdevelopment for years and still hasnt got anything to show for it.
@@Thegamingdino133 I actually got here because of Starfield. It's just such a lazy corporate turd that I wanted a proper space game and saw Star Citizen. Starfield is not even a space game. It's just fast travel 300ft away from a guy you have to talk to or a gang you have to shoot. Rinse and repeat. I saw sleeping bags outside on a planet that's -200C temperature and solar radiation warnings. Just absurd.
I'll recommend Elite Dangerous then
Your videos are excellent! You have quickly become my go to!
I work with someone who loves to watch videos on Star Citizen. We get into conversations about the game every other weekend shift I get. I asked him if he wanted to join my disorder and join up with my friends, and I was surprised to discover he had never played the game. It turns out he doesn't have a computer with necessary specs to play it. 😮
any update?
did he get the pc?
Never been in, let alone flown, a Cutty. I went from from a Titan starter directly to a Vanguard Sentinel and an Eclipse bought with real $$...then added a C8X as a get-around ship.
I feel like having a space Day-Z aspect to the game would make it the ultimate survival simulator
Server browsing won't be a thing in star citizen, they'll be using server meshing which will basically overlap servers and people in the area, if a ship blows up theoretically it'll be across all those servers until someone salvages it.
i never flyed in cutlass black cuz i dont have star citizen but i still watch your vids cuz star citizen is good game
So funny Olli that you go down with One(1) clip. 🙂
cutlass black is kinda like the farm truck of star citizen. it hauls, and it's almost too useful. but it's not the sports car you show off to your friends.
I always saw the Nomad as the Space pick-up truck, Its the only ship I own and have been loving it so far. I just haul a ROC around in the back and farm away ^_^
All other space sims should be ashamed of themselves. Shout out dangerous elite tho damn i loved it on ps4. Thanks for the introduction to space sims, you rock.
The Cutlass black is the best all-around ship in the game; bang for buck.
I used Cutlass Black for like 1 hour when it was a free rental during the event :D It was nice :D
The ole Cutty is the first ship I ever bought and tbh that was like 2-3 days ago! LOL. Saving for an Arrow or Vanguard next possibly, not 100% on what I wanna do but man this game is addicting. So happy I got into it recently. A lot of my motivation to get the game was from this channel :)
Flow cutlass of any model for the first time with the July free fly. Might have to get one sometime
Cutty is my primary ship. Real solid all arounder.
Ive not flown the Cutlass Black! I went for the Freelancer initially back around 2016, but the FL really needs an update to compare to the Cutlass nowadays
"Or...someone died, which is really cool." -Ollie43
dude, happy to see you enjoying the grind again.. can hear it your voice even! Rock on! Also!
Cutty Black was my first ship - from the Kickstarter
cutty black is the swiss army knife of SC
I'm loving these random adventures!!!
The Cutlass was my first ship (before it became the Cutlass Black!). It got upgraded to a different ship.
27:30 WTF HAHAHAHHA, I'm surprised that worked
last time i played after pledging so much money i was able to walk around the hanger and do nothing but look at the ships .. was a few years ago might be time to look into this game again
0:08 I hope CIG one day lets you go Treasure Hunting so you don't come off a trigger happy mad man killing other people for there stuff and yes I'm also talking about NPCs
26:50 those are rare but that's because they only sold it once so more then one guy has it and in game only the Navy are suppose to have them and you can Thank all the players that have stole them for the reason you can't steal them CIG doesn't want you to have them till SQ42 comes out as CR wills it
Interesting to me how the Cutty Black's daily driver counterpart, the Freelancer, beats it in the numbers in pretty much every single way, but it's the Cutty that everyone has or has flown at least a dozen times and thinks of as Ol' Reliable. Is it that it's cooler looking?
Your laugh is just amazing. You such an awesome guy. Btw as for the poll you did the other day, I am one of the 40% that don't play this game because I don't have a decent laptop/pc so I get my fun by watching you play it lol
Love from Wales bro 🏴🏴🇬🇧
Olli trying his very hardest to not end his Star Citizen video title with "..."
Awesome vid. And to what you said, some games i only like to watch, like dayz or rust and also this one. Always seems to recomend you for this one :D GG
Teleporting enemies remind me of a character from Wreck-it Ralph movie.
It wouldn't be an Olli43 video without his ship exploding hehehehehehe 🤪
9:42 that gun literally said "pew"
Shout-out to the man, the legend, the one and only BlackFatte20 for leaving his STV on Daymar
Jiiiiiiha!!! the real Olli is back!!! Love when U just do these vids and something crazy always happens!! to bad U could not get to fly that ship at the end! Cheers
I've never flown any Cutlass 😅I'm more into trading and mining, but was cool to see this gameplay and interactions. The reviving was cool, such a nice guy 😄(being myself shot several times only to be looted), kudos for fairplay. Speaking of looting, i'm astonished you guys leave armor, guns and stuff back. When i go to places i always loot, and selling that afterwards grants quite some money, i've been able to buy a Ursa and a Cyclone MT only with loot money. Maybe pennies for you, but actually worth a bit in the long run. Getting a free vehicle is dope, once i found a semi destroyed titan, could take off with it and stayed in my ships inventory until the wipe, but couldn't repair it.
PS: does selling the salvaged ship components got fixed? I have one of my ships full with them and can't sell them anywere, not even in NQA Terminal of Cru-L4...
I always think the same anytime I see any SC youtuber not pick up guns and/or armor that's worth plenty. My guess is they just find it too tedious to be worth it.
@@Wolfeygames I heard him once saying he's such a loot goblin. Maybe he skips it when streaming/making videos to simplify, or then he has a total different concept of looting than us 😅
remember when a space game was built on you earning ships from gameplay instead of the bathesta horse armor structure?
Love to see you doing what you enjoy. I definitely want to play this but I'm worried my gaming laptop can't run it. 😢
You may be surprised. I've played on a 2080 and a 6800k for quite a bit. Just don't be an fps snob and you'll be fine. Even the fastest computers barely break 40 fps in some of the major cities
@@eavdmeer I'm usually a console player so 30fps was home sweet home until this generation. I'll have to check it out.
@@TheGreat_BA_Clay your CPU will be the most likely bottleneck and the memory the second. All that assuming that you have an SSD. Without that, you really can't run SC
