Star Citizens MISC Odyssey a ship which i have started to appreciate more and more. The MISC Odyssey is glorious to look at and packed with useful features. When the day arrives the Odyssey will be the first ship i take on my long range expeditions throughout the many systems Star Citizen has to offer. Hopefully the MISC Odyssey gets built sooner rather than later! BUT what do you guys think of this ship? Is the Anvil Carrack superior? As always let me know down below!!
Hey PIN love your videos man this one included but PLEASE tell me the name of song that's playing for the first 8min of the video🙏 lol it sounds so good i tired Shazaming it haha but I cant pick it up with you talking 😅.. i was hoping it was what u have in thr description but it's not😢
Galaxy is cool, if you're into MISC style. They packed a lot of functionality in there. For me though, Carrack is life, no question. The only thing I'm jealous of is quantum fuel regeneration. Edit: I wrote this comment before even watching the intro, clearly you do like the rounded MISC style; Even more clearly, style is subjective lol
Many thanks for this video. I have said this is the LAST ship I will purchase from Star Citizen. Lol As a 62 year old, Star Citizen is the ONLY video game I play. My passion for science fiction and space ships started back in the 1960s with the show, "Lost in Space," and the spaceship home of the Robinson family, the "Jupiter 2." Now, as a Sci-fi writer, Star Citizen is how I let my brain roll-on in play. Such a craft as the Odyssey is the ultimate goal of Space faring, in my opinion, to go out in Star Trek-like fashion, fully self-contained. I have not purchased the Odyssey yet, as I am still waiting on two ships I purchased right to hit the hangers, of which the Gataac is one. Thanks again.
@JohnnyStroud it's very refreshing to hear such a comment. Thankyou. I mean my "last ship" is always being replaced by a new one 🙃 🙄 funny that right? Ha ha ha.
You know... I've been toying with the idea of creating a character and YT channel specifically for Star Citizen and making a TV series out of the adventures. I'm not sure what to call it yet, but I think it will be grand! :) I encourage you to do something similar, since screen writing is just another form of fiction writing. Just have fun with it.
This is my Polaris. This is going to be my home away from home, I'm gonna shoot off somewhere with my friends, get some loot, some treasure, some resources and then we'll bring it all back and upgrade the base.
I jumped aboard Star Citizen over 11 years ago and was an immediate Freelancer fan boy. I still love the Freelancer and the MISC aesthetic. When CIG announced the Odyssey, I immediately slammed the pledge button. I love this ship and the gameplay ideas supporting it. Right now I'm contemplating upgrading my Freelancer MIS to a Starlancer MAX or TAC as well.
This is by far the best video out there about the MISC Odyssey! (...and I watched all of them in the last 8h) Well done Sir and THANK YOU, this video helped me so much getting rid of my doubts ;) o7 PS: ... the only thing missing for me were some comfort features around navigating the video: #1 Chapters being on screen with a fixed Screen for at least 5s to find chapters faster when skipping through in re-watch #2 Chapters defined in youtube for ease of navigation
I love my Carack and I can't wait for my Odyssey. I see them as the perfect pair for exploring (one for jump and deep scanning, the other as multi-purpose(mostly refining quant))
Best video on the odyssey i've seen so far! You nicely wrapped everything up into one package. I cant wait to fly mine one day. I guess this carrack loaner will do...
This video is awesome and timely, I needed to see it, Thank you. I have the Anvil Carrack but can't wait to captain the MISC Odyssey! Perhaps, this will be my last exploration ship to purchase!
Didn’t even realise I had just watched a 47 minute video until it was over! I’ve had this ship pledged for about a year now and have been wanting someone to create a video just like this in lieu of an actual ISC video on it, so thank you so much! You did a great job and my pledge feels validated after watching this haha.
Hey great video about the MISC Odyssey - thanks a lot for that! Regarding your theory about the secret engine, here my personal opinion. At time index 37:42, the rear engine is shown swiveled in VTOL mode just like the front engine (bottom view). The flaps at the top will open so that the engine can work downwards as ist can be seen in the top view. According to these pictures, the front and upper engines are swiveled in VTOL mode. This is how I interpret it... Thanks again for the informative and well done video! Have fun in Verse!
I don't think your Carrack is flawed at all - it is geared more to looking for jump points and will help a ship like the Odyssey find its way more efficiently. They're like partners and compliment each other incredibly well! A two-ship exploration team of a Carack would really let you mix and match capabilities really well between the Carrack modules and the flexibility of the Odyssey.
the carrack was the first bigger ship I paid cash for. It really had my WOW for a while. Now I see it as a misuse of space, if they added a second entrance and fixed those cargo pods. I would glady buy it again. I feel that way about alot of ships, you just have to love them for what they are and not what you want them to be.
Absolute agree!!! got the ship to from the beginning... i got only two problem with this ship.. 1st, the ship is a Explorer witch means you can explore new materials but, you can mine and refine only for him self what you are talking about to in this video. 2nd, i think we don't need so deep hangar in the ship, instead if they do the botom higher, underneath get more room for any other thing (more storage, repair station for cars, hovers and so on)
You're still the man Pin and I am still keeping my Odyssey until you pry it from my cold dead hands.. :D lol. Great video, us Odyssey owners salute you! 🖖
I dunno why they haven't started working on this ship yet! Love this ship. Bought first time they've announced it. I hope it doesn't get the BMM treatment.
Excellent video, I watched all of it. I never really thought much about the Odyssey, but lately I've been trying to see which ship in SC is most like the a Firefly class like Serenity, and give same vibes/role. Carrack has been said to be best so far, but the Odyssey de-thrones it as the best Firefly-like ship. It's much bigger of course, but the Firefly is probably too small on the TV show compared to the set anyways. The only thing that would make this ship get a 10/10 for me, would be two things. 1) PDC self-defense against torpedoes. 2) Repair workshop like the Carrack, to craft and repair damaged components. I mean, you can make infinite fuel, you can heal any injury of the crew, but if a fuel shut-off valve fails...you are dead in space....that doesnt make much sense unless SC allows you to carry a boat-load of spare parts in that 250 SCU of cargo...and you can somehow repair the ship without repair drones. Also for record, Carrack probably has Recon Drones, and not Builder or Repair drones, just my speculation as an explorer ship and the way CIG always ensures to ensure no ship can have what you want it to have.
Unless they grow the ship (which I believe they will), fitting an Apollo on that hangar might be a bit of a stretch. I also believe that the Odyssey will have a different type of exploration. It feels like it will be a planet explorer, scanning the surface which ties in nicely with that big screen on the bridge, locating deposits of ores, etc, to be exploited via base building through extractors. The Quant refining for fuel is nice, BUT, unless it's efficient with Hydrogen, it will be pointless if you need to do long surface exploration. Lots of question marks but I'm very excited about the idea behind the ship. Great vid!
I didn't need another ship on my radar ... thanks bud! That said, it really feels like it will be used as a stepping stone for the MISC Endaevour, especially that front "command module" for lack of a better word. It makes me think they'll probably do like for the RSI large ships and build them all around the same time using shared assets.
That is a cool idea, for player bumped out of intra-system QJump, they have to find sources of fuel, maybe abandoned refinery they have jurr-rig to eak out fuel to get home.
@PIN-o7 sadly the size3 and above components can't be removed by players. you can repair them. The refinery is nice idea, but the refinery directly outputs the quantum directly into the only quantum tank and as CIG noted, it mixes with existing fuel, meaning low quality refined quantum mixes with premium quality quantum fuel you brought from stations and thus reduces the quantum quality. CIG also said there is no quantum fuel outlet in the hangar to Refuel hangar landed craft.
Thats such a daft missing feature. You should be able to refuel in the hangar. They need to apply some common sense, that feature would be obvious to have.
@shiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz well you can manually Refuel craft, like the Polaris you need to connect fuel lines to the craft, itll never by like being at a port and using mobiglass to automatically refuel and repair.
I’m glad the Odyssey is finally getting the love it deserves. I’ve fallen in love with it since the moment it was concept released and I think it’s heavily undervalued with the gameplay cheese provides.
I tried to be an alien tech fan boy as well, but I just don't feel it. Maybe cuz I'm too human. Who knows. But I do feel you on that big MISC ship though. I am hoping to get my Polaris soon, because the dawn of the biggins is near. Whoo whoo!🎉
It's so fun to think about adventures in this ship. One (of many activities) I am looking forward to the most with the Odyssey is industrial exploration. I want to bring a Prospector with me, especially if they make the more valuable materials further away from settled areas and we need to really get out there far away to find them. The idea of teaming up with a friend in a Carrack is exciting as well, especially the planning and logistics of these expeditions.
Love the video! Keep it up! On the Odyssey though… if it is operable with a min crew of 1…. Does that mean the pilot will have weapon control when gunners are not present?
The seats in the mining room are 1 for the miner and 1 for the tractor beam. Art suggests one holds the rock while the other breaks it up and extracts. To me that suggests it will have a size 3 mining head and can take on much larger rocks. But 1 guy can definitely do the job. And the two rooms flanking the escape pods are the other 2 crew quarters.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I want the chill explorer gameplay but I like combat and find the need to defend myself at a moments notice vital in a game with so many players. So I went with the "soon to be reworked" 600i explorer. I find serious value in it's function. However. The Odyssey can almost fully sustain itself which is quite rare. Best of luck to you!
I've been waiting on this ship for so long.... I just want to pack it full of resources and vanish to the outer reaches of the verse and see what's out thre
hangar will be able to fit a surprising amount, but not a MSR. can actually fit a scorpius and 4 arrows. hell its large enough to fit a cutty black in there. So if youre desperate for data running can take the herald lol
@@bengreg7795 Data running is a really, really good call, information won't travel through the jump points without a courier. News, maps, blueprints, media, maybe even crimestats, anything digital. The Odyssey also has one more medium computer than the Carrack, so using it as an infinite-range launchpad for something like a Herald would be cool as hell.
I see the Carrack as a specialized survey ship that’s designed to go to uncharted areas of space, scan for jump points & other stuff, and create maps to be sold to other interested parties. And the Odyssey as more of a corporate ship that combines exploration with mining & other industrial professions & is meant to work in tandem with the various smaller ships that will be using its hangar.
Upgraded my BMM this IAE to the Odyssey. Absolutely love the look and the idea of this ship. For me personally, the BMM is far too big for me to use. I have no way of filling the vast cargo SCU either for sale the shop. I guess I just want to explore now, chill and sell the data for my income. Odyssey is perfect and more manageable sizewise for solo play
I actually love the concept, and i can see myself crewing one of those for a long term mission. Don't let the cannons fool you. That is 20% more damage than a Corsair pilot has or 3 C2 pilots worth of dps. But you need gunners and coordination. NPC crew and blades are still off, and don't expect it to be to easy "plug and play" kind of stuff. NPCs will cost you aUEC in terms of salery and supplies (food, drinks and a place to rest) while blades have a more useful place than just automating turret. Knowing how CIG doesn't want things to be automated, expect blades and NPC gunners to have draw backs. While they might only allow remote turrets to be automated and manned to only be slaved to the pilot, there is a high chance that "automated" only means point defense turrets that target missles and torps only. And NPC gunners might rely on the player to pin targets for them to set the order in which they shoot at ships. Also normal NPC crew are most probably to be specialsed in one field only and do other things pretty poor. So don't expect soloing a 6 crew ship to be easy or chill in hectic situations. But out in the verse far away from civilasation, this ship is probably the most perfect "home away from home" we get in SC. Just stack up pn supplies and you can go for RL weeks without ever visiting any station. 😊
For me, the game play the Odyssey will provide my end game. I don't mind Pvp, or base building. I want to live on my ship with a crew and explore the unknown. Help others find a place to plant their flag if they're looking for a frontier that has resources, serenity and a chance to grow with their friends and be on my way. The Odyssey I feel fits the bill for my vision of how I want to live in the verse.
I already purchased an Odyssey a few months ago. Just waiting for it to be released. You are correct, it will be a chill exploration experience. :) Also note that the Odyssey was $150 more than the $600 Carrack, at $750 USD. Well worth it, IMO. I actually own a Carrack as well, and I might melt it for something else if the Odyssey covers all of the bases. #MISCOdyssey
i share your enthusiasm regarding the odyssey! i bought it a minute after it was revealed and never looked back. And did pick up a Starlancer max to upgrade to the BLD. What is the best useful longterm ship to bring inside it? i currently have 2 ATLS and 1 CSV-SM. And prob gonna get a Ursa Rover aswell. Will the Terrapin fit thou? it might get reworked/updated
@@PIN-o7 A utility ship to fit with the expedition role is the best is my guess, Either a prospector or Terrapin, Wonder if having CSV is too big with 2 ATLS and a Rover in the vehicle bay. Maybe have one of those Argo transportships could be smart, with tractor beam?
The starlancer max has convinced me, I'm getting this ship. Also with the knowledge of the starlancer max, how about Odyssey max? 😂 It could so easily hold a massive amount of cargo.
If you look at the just released MISC Starlancer MAX, you can see the living quarters and the "combined" vehicle/cargo area that arguable are about the same as those shown on the Odyssey concept images. This ship might be further along than we realize. (Hopefully!)
How do you reach any arbitrary point in a system without a quantum marker with any ship? Being able to move freely in a system is core to exploration gameplay.
@@PIN-o7 But these are fixed. They don't allow me to reach any arbitrary point. I was asking about arbitrary points without QT marker. So no blind jumps? Free navigation? Even the Evochron before 2010 allowed that (in addition to seamless planet/space transition). How is this supposed to become the best space sim ever? If it has only Quantum Travel on rails? And if there is a QT marker anywhere, that means someone was there already, doesn't it? Does that not take the discovery experience away from "exploration"? That all sounds very limited to me....
@@intothevoid2046 Quantum travel is changing soon. Like there will always be the quantum we know (I think it is getting small changes visually though) but then I believe they're adding something called quantum boost, which I believe is/has more of a free control to it, so possibly this is how one will achieve the aspect you're mentioning of arbitrary points of travel/exploration.
It's one of the only ships so far that seems to be a true home base even when 1 person since crew specs say 1-6 as one of the few bigger ships. Personal space station is what they said right? I think the interior kinda shows this also. Alot is placed in nice locations even when alone in the ship.
My plan for my Odyssey is load it up with my prospector and use it as a mother ship for my mining fill her up and sell. Then like you use the terrapin for scanning down points of intrest marking them down then coming back with like my vulture if i find salvage. Fingers crossed the vulture will fit in the odyssey lol.
The ship needs to double down on its mining/industrial niche. Refinery needs to process all materials, in addition to fuel. The ship needs a nice 3d printer/repair room, allowing it to produce and repair basic personal equipment. Multitools, armor, and weapons. Probably simple ammo too. Along with construction/repair material. Otherwise, the Polaris can do everything but refine its own quant, and it brings much more fire power if you get in trouble.
I've had my Odyssey for a while as well. It's one I can stand to wait on though, I've no need for a ship this big in the alpha and won't be able to crew it for a long time after release either.
I have been looking forward to a Starfarer rework, hope it ends up having a more linear interior. Its all fun and games until your crew needs a ms paint map to get to the bridge.
my strategy was to get an Endavour, ping something in space, use the carrack to plot and map a course, check it out and use Odessy to explore and map the new space. she sure looks fine. 😉 o7
I said it before and I say it again. This will be my racing garage. The Truck to my K.I.T.T. Hauling around all those sweet racing vehicles from event to event. Tuning, refuling and repairing them, while fuel is for free(well, probably not racing special sauce, but who cares)... And now with not so perma death of ships and the spare parts loaded, you could search, refit and sell all small craft you come across.
@PIN-o7 that was the initial idea put forward. but I had not seen the images on your video before which look quite different than the original design. the ones in the images you've supplied look more like those that are on the misc reliant. the spherical shaped nacelles that rotate. they just seem to be embedded in the chassis here. I'd prefer a rotating nozzle tbh
I would gladly melt every ship I own to own this one ship, maybe with a pisces or something along those lines. Absolutely love this ship but have not seen it available to purchase
Keep in mind too the type of weapen you use will play a BIG role in where you are.. just bec you dont "like" something is not going to fly when we have Maintenace in game, and you have to play the Hot v Cold game with the Guns. If you are working in a very Hot part of Space (by the sun) or Pyro with is main Solar flares.. Ballistce weapen/Gun can over heat very fast, v Engrgy one. So how we play and look at ship soon will be completey diff, just like when MM came out and flipped fly over on it head.
Its an interesting ship for many reasons, one being EXPLORATION, something that has been severely lacking in my gameplay. I had melt mostly everything and build a fleet from scratch, one mistake that needed rectifying was finalizing a referral, and it was my 1st ship in the new fleet.....so to speak. It was already a good LTI token so rounded it off with the Odyssey. I believe it'll be build mostly from MISC Hull assets, it has Hull written all over it, and with Pyro Imminent...ish, twin systems will offer some interesting variation. Also my big melt needed to get rid of floss such as the F8/ARES twins and one or two other fighters, fighters such as the core/lore trio: 'Buccaneer/Gladius and Arrow' are perfect and cheap, can all be earned in game within a couple of hours and handle great. Im a solo player atm, yet understand and appreciate CIG's push for Group/Gameplay, my ships don't exceed 6 crew, and i believe that can be reduced by half with some competent players, NPC Crew are a good ways off so say the devs, so no coming to our rescue for a few yrs. Overall the potential of the Odyssey offers a little of everything, like yourself i want to move into a more rich, deep immersive gameplay over just another COD clone, exploration, long times away will be interest interesting to say the least, deep scanning tech will be a godsend. Like yourself i also have a: Galaxy with the modules, also picked up a ''Endeavor Master Set'' with LTI with store credit, which was unusual and unmissable to say the least, also have all the modules separately, the modules are in buyback , the Master set are in my hangar. These are complimented by a Arrastra/Perseus/Genesis Starliner/Railen and the 3 Zeus's, plus a Raft and SRV. CCU's to:: ''BMM/Liberator/Orion/Nautilus/Hull-d/Polaris'' and loads of CCU's. The Polaris/Galaxy/Hull-D are on the horizon, the rest...we'll see. I am a firm believer in doing some forward planning, i really pity those that don't, these large ships will cost in both both time/resources, also i don't see any hope of this ship being flown solo, i know in principle it will be possible, you could do the same with a Javelin, but it wont be fun, nor practical. I have been thinking about starting something like the ''Raven Club'', where owners of la certain large ship, can work with other owners, learn the differing ship roles, enjoy every aspect of managing its resources, in relevant safety . I also think as they all have a personal interest in learning their ship, they will bond as a group, which will alleviate many who haven't ventured beyond playing solo, just a thought as playing solo cuts you out of so much rich gameplay. Back to the Odyssey, i think it could come much sooner than expected, CIG have all those Hull assets,, CIG have a large pool of devs to call upon, and with Pyro, would offer 2 systems to make it worthwhile, saying all that and being realistic, CIG do have their hands full atm. I know im not along yet nearly all of my ships are in development and in Concept, yet ive a : '' Carrack/C2/C1/Taurus/Prospector/Mole/Starfarer/C8 Pisces'' and a few others, a good selection with earning potential. Also i do still have a nice slush fund of credit leftover, allows me to buy small ships/Vehicles as needed, paints that can all be melted. I don't like grind other than a few hours to cover basics, 4 hours of grind can last me a month easily, i want to play the game, not the other way round. Have a carrack yet loath the ship, its useless a complete eunuch. Nice refresh my friend. Kudos
@@QuotidianStupidity which is why I said I wish they would finally do something with it. Polaris is a capital and we have free use of it shortly… still no cake to be had there either.
@@jsullivan649 the Polaris is still a basic b!tch ship, there is no additional gameplay to be added, no science, no modules, no Apollo ambulances, and no other ships of that scale. It would be a monumental effort to make it, as with the BMM, and pretty much all other ships would be neglected
I'm having a CCU from the Carrack to Odyssey. God knows when this ship will be flight ready! On the concept the Odyssey looks fantastic but I won't hold my breath knowing that the flight ready ship will likely be a lot less stylish as we've already seen with the awesome-looking Hull-C concept and the in-game ship ended up looking more like a giant space dildo. For the Odyssey I hope that the interiors will not be so open and empty like shown in the makeshift 3D. It's utterly unrealistic since space in spaceship is a premium waste of efficiency and it's one thing that annoys me when CiG just leaves a lot of empty space in ship interiors.
21:08 - "I don't think you will need two people" - Strongly disagree with that, there are already gameplay mechanics for ensuring people need a Mole with 2-3 people rather than 2-3 individual Prospectors. I don't see why that wouldn't apply here.
Well just because there are game mechanics in place to operate ships in a certain way does not mean players do. If the reclaimer and mole are often operated solo, i see no reason why this would be any different... at least regarding the mining head on the ship.
@@PIN-o7 I could be wrong as I don’t play, and if I did, wouldn’t mine. But I’m certain they introduced rocks that could only be mined with 2-3 lasers at the same time?
what besides, fauna,flora,artifacts,jumpoints,outposts,loot,natural resources,asteroids,caves,ship wrecks,outposts,abandoned facilities, alien tech, and everything else CIG have said ?

its a tough choice to be fair. But you do get a carrack as aloner for the odyssey. So swings and roundabouts lol
I don't think your Carrack is flawed at all - it is geared more to looking for jump points and will help a ship like the Odyssey find its way more efficiently.

I dunno why they haven't started working on this ship yet! Love this ship. Bought first time they've announced it. I hope it doesn't get the BMM treatment.
Excellent video, I watched all of it. I never really thought much about the Odyssey, but lately I've been trying to see which ship in SC is most like the a Firefly class like Serenity, and give same vibes/role. Carrack has been said to be best so far, but the Odyssey de-thrones it as the best Firefly-like ship. It's much bigger of course, but the Firefly is probably too small on the TV show compared to the set anyways.
The only thing that would make this ship get a 10/10 for me, would be two things.
1) PDC self-defense against torpedoes.
2) Repair workshop like the Carrack, to craft and repair damaged components. I mean, you can make infinite fuel, you can heal any injury of the crew, but if a fuel shut-off valve fails...you are dead in space....that doesnt make much sense unless SC allows you to carry a boat-load of spare parts in that 250 SCU of cargo...and you can somehow repair the ship without repair drones.
Also for record, Carrack probably has Recon Drones, and not Builder or Repair drones, just my speculation as an explorer ship and the way CIG always ensures to ensure no ship can have what you want it to have.
Always been a fan of the ships looks but hadn't seen a lot of the concept material you've dug. Good vid.
Thanks
Unless they grow the ship (which I believe they will), fitting an Apollo on that hangar might be a bit of a stretch.
I also believe that the Odyssey will have a different type of exploration. It feels like it will be a planet explorer, scanning the surface which ties in nicely with that big screen on the bridge, locating deposits of ores, etc, to be exploited via base building through extractors. The Quant refining for fuel is nice, BUT, unless it's efficient with Hydrogen, it will be pointless if you need to do long surface exploration. Lots of question marks but I'm very excited about the idea behind the ship.
Great vid!
Got this babe when she was 1st announced as totally fell in love with it. Just hope it has windows in the mess!
I didn't need another ship on my radar ... thanks bud! That said, it really feels like it will be used as a stepping stone for the MISC Endaevour, especially that front "command module" for lack of a better word. It makes me think they'll probably do like for the RSI large ships and build them all around the same time using shared assets.
That is a cool idea, for player bumped out of intra-system QJump, they have to find sources of fuel, maybe abandoned refinery they have jurr-rig to eak out fuel to get home.
I've always liked this concept but I have the feeling that I'll probably die before seeing it in game!
What age category are you in?
Thanks for the work
My pleasure!
Love these reviews.
Keep them coming.
@AKSnowbat907 thanks! Will do o7
@PIN-o7 sadly the size3 and above components can't be removed by players. you can repair them.
The refinery is nice idea, but the refinery directly outputs the quantum directly into the only quantum tank and as CIG noted, it mixes with existing fuel, meaning low quality refined quantum mixes with premium quality quantum fuel you brought from stations and thus reduces the quantum quality. CIG also said there is no quantum fuel outlet in the hangar to Refuel hangar landed craft.
Thats such a daft missing feature. You should be able to refuel in the hangar. They need to apply some common sense, that feature would be obvious to have.
@shiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz well you can manually Refuel craft, like the Polaris you need to connect fuel lines to the craft, itll never by like being at a port and using mobiglass to automatically refuel and repair.
@@dragofire5063 they could easily put a fuel hose in the Odyssey landing bay.
Finally more content on this one, i love the look and shape on this beauty!
I’m glad the Odyssey is finally getting the love it deserves. I’ve fallen in love with it since the moment it was concept released and I think it’s heavily undervalued with the gameplay cheese provides.
I plan to use it as a host for wandering players and a bounty hunter mother ship (like the Cowboy Bebop ship)
I tried to be an alien tech fan boy as well, but I just don't feel it. Maybe cuz I'm too human. Who knows. But I do feel you on that big MISC ship though. I am hoping to get my Polaris soon, because the dawn of the biggins is near. Whoo whoo!🎉
It's so fun to think about adventures in this ship. One (of many activities) I am looking forward to the most with the Odyssey is industrial exploration. I want to bring a Prospector with me, especially if they make the more valuable materials further away from settled areas and we need to really get out there far away to find them. The idea of teaming up with a friend in a Carrack is exciting as well, especially the planning and logistics of these expeditions.
@JL-rj9fl a Odyssey Carrack combo would a very effective team up. That's a great point buddy.
I really want this ship to release
@@PlatinumParakeet your not the only one ha ha ha
Yes. Theyre gonna introduce a new shps and a brunch of new bugs in the gameplay 😂
It looks like spaceships should look, something that SC often lacks in many of their weird freak transformer inspired ships.
Love the video! Keep it up! On the Odyssey though… if it is operable with a min crew of 1…. Does that mean the pilot will have weapon control when gunners are not present?
The seats in the mining room are 1 for the miner and 1 for the tractor beam. Art suggests one holds the rock while the other breaks it up and extracts. To me that suggests it will have a size 3 mining head and can take on much larger rocks. But 1 guy can definitely do the job. And the two rooms flanking the escape pods are the other 2 crew quarters.
I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I want the chill explorer gameplay but I like combat and find the need to defend myself at a moments notice vital in a game with so many players. So I went with the "soon to be reworked" 600i explorer. I find serious value in it's function. However. The Odyssey can almost fully sustain itself which is quite rare. Best of luck to you!
I've been waiting on this ship for so long.... I just want to pack it full of resources and vanish to the outer reaches of the verse and see what's out thre
Just CCU'ed my Carrack to the Odyssey i love it. Much as i do like the Carrack the Odyssey suits my play style way more
congrats!
@@PIN-o7 thanks your video made me want to do it. Great Video btw keep up the amazing work
@@vegnachaos9995 thankyou, will do. o7
Exploration, exploration...this is a perfect hidden pirate base!.
39:55 msr?? I think you’re vastly overestimating how big the hangar is going to be.
My guess is it's gonna be same size hangar as polaris but abit smaller😂
hangar will be able to fit a surprising amount, but not a MSR. can actually fit a scorpius and 4 arrows. hell its large enough to fit a cutty black in there. So if youre desperate for data running can take the herald lol
@@bengreg7795 Data running is a really, really good call, information won't travel through the jump points without a courier. News, maps, blueprints, media, maybe even crimestats, anything digital. The Odyssey also has one more medium computer than the Carrack, so using it as an infinite-range launchpad for something like a Herald would be cool as hell.
My favorite ship no doubt
I see the Carrack as a specialized survey ship that’s designed to go to uncharted areas of space, scan for jump points & other stuff, and create maps to be sold to other interested parties. And the Odyssey as more of a corporate ship that combines exploration with mining & other industrial professions & is meant to work in tandem with the various smaller ships that will be using its hangar.
I’m so happy I bought a CCU to the Odyssey a while back. I’m just working on my chain to get there. 😅 Trying to get a cheap one 🤣
Nice wrap up! Hey, can it also replenish it's own hydrogen? Or does it still rely on a hydrogen re-fuel location being available?
Upgraded my BMM this IAE to the Odyssey. Absolutely love the look and the idea of this ship. For me personally, the BMM is far too big for me to use. I have no way of filling the vast cargo SCU either for sale the shop. I guess I just want to explore now, chill and sell the data for my income. Odyssey is perfect and more manageable sizewise for solo play
Good choice!
I actually love the concept, and i can see myself crewing one of those for a long term mission.
Don't let the cannons fool you. That is 20% more damage than a Corsair pilot has or 3 C2 pilots worth of dps. But you need gunners and coordination. NPC crew and blades are still off, and don't expect it to be to easy "plug and play" kind of stuff. NPCs will cost you aUEC in terms of salery and supplies (food, drinks and a place to rest) while blades have a more useful place than just automating turret.
Knowing how CIG doesn't want things to be automated, expect blades and NPC gunners to have draw backs. While they might only allow remote turrets to be automated and manned to only be slaved to the pilot, there is a high chance that "automated" only means point defense turrets that target missles and torps only. And NPC gunners might rely on the player to pin targets for them to set the order in which they shoot at ships. Also normal NPC crew are most probably to be specialsed in one field only and do other things pretty poor.
So don't expect soloing a 6 crew ship to be easy or chill in hectic situations. But out in the verse far away from civilasation, this ship is probably the most perfect "home away from home" we get in SC. Just stack up pn supplies and you can go for RL weeks without ever visiting any station. 😊
For me, the game play the Odyssey will provide my end game. I don't mind Pvp, or base building. I want to live on my ship with a crew and explore the unknown. Help others find a place to plant their flag if they're looking for a frontier that has resources, serenity and a chance to grow with their friends and be on my way. The Odyssey I feel fits the bill for my vision of how I want to live in the verse.
I already purchased an Odyssey a few months ago. Just waiting for it to be released. You are correct, it will be a chill exploration experience. :)
Also note that the Odyssey was $150 more than the $600 Carrack, at $750 USD. Well worth it, IMO. I actually own a Carrack as well, and I might melt it for something else if the Odyssey covers all of the bases.
#MISCOdyssey
Don't forget, the Carrack will have modules. I'm sure there will be a refinery module.
If they do the Odyssey as well as they did the Starlancer, I will definitely be happy, maybe put the Fortuna salvage ship in the back, be wonderful
I really think explorers like Carrack, and Odyssey could fill other roles besides their intended purposes.
I just checked my fleet. Yep. I have two LTI MISC ODYSSEYs. Ready to go when it gets released. 🙂
sweeeeet!
i share your enthusiasm regarding the odyssey! i bought it a minute after it was revealed and never looked back. And did pick up a Starlancer max to upgrade to the BLD. What is the best useful longterm ship to bring inside it? i currently have 2 ATLS and 1 CSV-SM. And prob gonna get a Ursa Rover aswell. Will the Terrapin fit thou? it might get reworked/updated
sadly we wont truly know the hangar metrics untils its built, as things could change.
@@PIN-o7 A utility ship to fit with the expedition role is the best is my guess, Either a prospector or Terrapin, Wonder if having CSV is too big with 2 ATLS and a Rover in the vehicle bay. Maybe have one of those Argo transportships could be smart, with tractor beam?
@Roylevis yeah whatever you think will fit your needs and fits in the hangar. Flexibility is there with this ship.
Honestly, how long do you think before the Odyssey is going to be in the game? I had it, melted it, 'cause I'm not gonna live for ever.
The starlancer max has convinced me, I'm getting this ship. Also with the knowledge of the starlancer max, how about Odyssey max? 😂 It could so easily hold a massive amount of cargo.
Best thing about the Odyssey finally going into production is it'll pretty much give us the half of the Endeavor when it goes live
True
Will the Odyssey be back on sale on the RSI store when it's released or right before release? I really want this ship.
@@tylertiffin9067 IAE maybe, roughly a month from now.
This is my ship, the one I have been waiting for 10 years.
Love this ship, when ruffly you think we will see it in game?
honestly maybe 1 - 2 years. That would be my very rough guesstimate, please digest with a pich of salt ha ha o7
will be buying at IAE
If you look at the just released MISC Starlancer MAX, you can see the living quarters and the "combined" vehicle/cargo area that arguable are about the same as those shown on the Odyssey concept images. This ship might be further along than we realize. (Hopefully!)
How do you reach any arbitrary point in a system without a quantum marker with any ship? Being able to move freely in a system is core to exploration gameplay.
@@intothevoid2046 jump points, both known and hidden.
@@PIN-o7 But these are fixed. They don't allow me to reach any arbitrary point. I was asking about arbitrary points without QT marker.
So no blind jumps? Free navigation? Even the Evochron before 2010 allowed that (in addition to seamless planet/space transition). How is this supposed to become the best space sim ever? If it has only Quantum Travel on rails? And if there is a QT marker anywhere, that means someone was there already, doesn't it? Does that not take the discovery experience away from "exploration"? That all sounds very limited to me....
@@intothevoid2046 Quantum travel is changing soon. Like there will always be the quantum we know (I think it is getting small changes visually though) but then I believe they're adding something called quantum boost, which I believe is/has more of a free control to it, so possibly this is how one will achieve the aspect you're mentioning of arbitrary points of travel/exploration.
It's one of the only ships so far that seems to be a true home base even when 1 person since crew specs say 1-6 as one of the few bigger ships. Personal space station is what they said right?
I think the interior kinda shows this also. Alot is placed in nice locations even when alone in the ship.
My plan for my Odyssey is load it up with my prospector and use it as a mother ship for my mining fill her up and sell. Then like you use the terrapin for scanning down points of intrest marking them down then coming back with like my vulture if i find salvage. Fingers crossed the vulture will fit in the odyssey lol.
You should do another Polaris video.
The ship needs to double down on its mining/industrial niche. Refinery needs to process all materials, in addition to fuel. The ship needs a nice 3d printer/repair room, allowing it to produce and repair basic personal equipment. Multitools, armor, and weapons. Probably simple ammo too. Along with construction/repair material.
Otherwise, the Polaris can do everything but refine its own quant, and it brings much more fire power if you get in trouble.
I wonder how the refueling element is going to work now that quant is almost impossible to find.
I've had my Odyssey for a while as well. It's one I can stand to wait on though, I've no need for a ship this big in the alpha and won't be able to crew it for a long time after release either.
Now that the Starlancer is revealed, do you still see a need to keep/have the Odyssey?
yes and yes
I have been looking forward to a Starfarer rework, hope it ends up having a more linear interior. Its all fun and games until your crew needs a ms paint map to get to the bridge.
my strategy was to get an Endavour, ping something in space, use the carrack to plot and map a course, check it out and use Odessy to explore and map the new space.
she sure looks fine.
😉 o7
good strategy buddy, o7
I said it before and I say it again. This will be my racing garage. The Truck to my K.I.T.T.
Hauling around all those sweet racing vehicles from event to event. Tuning, refuling and repairing them, while fuel is for free(well, probably not racing special sauce, but who cares)...
And now with not so perma death of ships and the spare parts loaded, you could search, refit and sell all small craft you come across.
Have they added storage on ships by now?
regarding the vtol, the engines exhausts rotate downward similar to the f35 vtol configuration
thats even cooler ! thanks!
@PIN-o7 that was the initial idea put forward. but I had not seen the images on your video before which look quite different than the original design. the ones in the images you've supplied look more like those that are on the misc reliant. the spherical shaped nacelles that rotate. they just seem to be embedded in the chassis here. I'd prefer a rotating nozzle tbh
the MISC JPEG
That crew of 6 is going to have to get adjusted soon.
Even the 600i is said to have a crew of 8 after the rework.
I bet you could fit at least a dozen Furies in that hangar.
Only one way to find out right? ha ha
47 minutes of PIN!!!! Yaaas!
lol ty XD
I think the rear VTOL will function similar to a F-35B VTOL
I would gladly melt every ship I own to own this one ship, maybe with a pisces or something along those lines. Absolutely love this ship but have not seen it available to purchase
S5 cannons destroy fighters in just a couple of hits, this ship is very heavily armed, it's technically 1,5 redeemers
Keep in mind too the type of weapen you use will play a BIG role in where you are.. just bec you dont "like" something is not going to fly when we have Maintenace in game, and you have to play the Hot v Cold game with the Guns. If you are working in a very Hot part of Space (by the sun) or Pyro with is main Solar flares.. Ballistce weapen/Gun can over heat very fast, v Engrgy one. So how we play and look at ship soon will be completey diff, just like when MM came out and flipped fly over on it head.
Its an interesting ship for many reasons, one being EXPLORATION, something that has been severely lacking in my gameplay. I had melt mostly everything and build a fleet from scratch, one mistake that needed rectifying was finalizing a referral, and it was my 1st ship in the new fleet.....so to speak. It was already a good LTI token so rounded it off with the Odyssey. I believe it'll be build mostly from MISC Hull assets, it has Hull written all over it, and with Pyro Imminent...ish, twin systems will offer some interesting variation. Also my big melt needed to get rid of floss such as the F8/ARES twins and one or two other fighters, fighters such as the core/lore trio: 'Buccaneer/Gladius and Arrow' are perfect and cheap, can all be earned in game within a couple of hours and handle great. Im a solo player atm, yet understand and appreciate CIG's push for Group/Gameplay, my ships don't exceed 6 crew, and i believe that can be reduced by half with some competent players, NPC Crew are a good ways off so say the devs, so no coming to our rescue for a few yrs. Overall the potential of the Odyssey offers a little of everything, like yourself i want to move into a more rich, deep immersive gameplay over just another COD clone, exploration, long times away will be interest interesting to say the least, deep scanning tech will be a godsend.
Like yourself i also have a: Galaxy with the modules, also picked up a ''Endeavor Master Set'' with LTI with store credit, which was unusual and unmissable to say the least, also have all the modules separately, the modules are in buyback , the Master set are in my hangar. These are complimented by a Arrastra/Perseus/Genesis Starliner/Railen and the 3 Zeus's, plus a Raft and SRV.
CCU's to:: ''BMM/Liberator/Orion/Nautilus/Hull-d/Polaris'' and loads of CCU's. The Polaris/Galaxy/Hull-D are on the horizon, the rest...we'll see. I am a firm believer in doing some forward planning, i really pity those that don't, these large ships will cost in both both time/resources, also i don't see any hope of this ship being flown solo, i know in principle it will be possible, you could do the same with a Javelin, but it wont be fun, nor practical. I have been thinking about starting something like the ''Raven Club'', where owners of la certain large ship, can work with other owners, learn the differing ship roles, enjoy every aspect of managing its resources, in relevant safety . I also think as they all have a personal interest in learning their ship, they will bond as a group, which will alleviate many who haven't ventured beyond playing solo, just a thought as playing solo cuts you out of so much rich gameplay. Back to the Odyssey, i think it could come much sooner than expected, CIG have all those Hull assets,, CIG have a large pool of devs to call upon, and with Pyro, would offer 2 systems to make it worthwhile, saying all that and being realistic, CIG do have their hands full atm. I know im not along yet nearly all of my ships are in development and in Concept, yet ive a : '' Carrack/C2/C1/Taurus/Prospector/Mole/Starfarer/C8 Pisces'' and a few others, a good selection with earning potential. Also i do still have a nice slush fund of credit leftover, allows me to buy small ships/Vehicles as needed, paints that can all be melted. I don't like grind other than a few hours to cover basics, 4 hours of grind can last me a month easily, i want to play the game, not the other way round. Have a carrack yet loath the ship, its useless a complete eunuch. Nice refresh my friend. Kudos
I chose this over the Carrack because the hangar looks like it juuuuust might be able to squeeze a Cutlass in.
We need midsized salvage ship ASAP with good guns and thrusting power
Definitely not going to be able to just throw an Apollo in back. 19:54 . The odyssey will be a good long range resource finder for a mining org.
its a RV. as for internal ships i would say 4 or 5 rovers and 4 pisces for exploration.
it honestly looks like the front end of the Endeavor... which i wish they would FINALLY do something with.
Endeavor is like an end game level ship... they don't even have the cake yet and you want the cherry on top of the icing?
@@QuotidianStupidity which is why I said I wish they would finally do something with it.
Polaris is a capital and we have free use of it shortly… still no cake to be had there either.
@@jsullivan649 the Polaris is still a basic b!tch ship, there is no additional gameplay to be added, no science, no modules, no Apollo ambulances, and no other ships of that scale.
It would be a monumental effort to make it, as with the BMM, and pretty much all other ships would be neglected
Beautiful except the fact that there is only one system in the game 😂
ant complety done ... no star in Star citizen
After the BS with the Galaxy. I’m probably going to upgrade my Galaxy to this.
I'm having a CCU from the Carrack to Odyssey. God knows when this ship will be flight ready! On the concept the Odyssey looks fantastic but I won't hold my breath knowing that the flight ready ship will likely be a lot less stylish as we've already seen with the awesome-looking Hull-C concept and the in-game ship ended up looking more like a giant space dildo. For the Odyssey I hope that the interiors will not be so open and empty like shown in the makeshift 3D. It's utterly unrealistic since space in spaceship is a premium waste of efficiency and it's one thing that annoys me when CiG just leaves a lot of empty space in ship interiors.
21:08 - "I don't think you will need two people" - Strongly disagree with that, there are already gameplay mechanics for ensuring people need a Mole with 2-3 people rather than 2-3 individual Prospectors. I don't see why that wouldn't apply here.
Well just because there are game mechanics in place to operate ships in a certain way does not mean players do. If the reclaimer and mole are often operated solo, i see no reason why this would be any different... at least regarding the mining head on the ship.
@@PIN-o7 I could be wrong as I don’t play, and if I did, wouldn’t mine. But I’m certain they introduced rocks that could only be mined with 2-3 lasers at the same time?
What you going to explore though? Hardly like you can go into deep space and find random planets and stuff!
what besides, fauna,flora,artifacts,jumpoints,outposts,loot,natural resources,asteroids,caves,ship wrecks,outposts,abandoned facilities, alien tech, and everything else CIG have said ?
With the announcement of only 5 systems for release, large exploration ships have lost their interest
