The Celestial Soul was seriously well organized. Most impressive. Well managed by Captain Phoenix 👏. Very effective in commanding the respect of the crew. The communication of the group was excellent and clear. Captain didn't verbally discipline the crewmember who questioned his orders regarding the spiral trajectory. Along with the complimenting and praising the crew, Captain Phoenix shows many signs of a good leader. Respect.
Thank you, The crew trained hard, I am very proud of the effort and dedication they have put into being a crew on the Celestial Soul.
Nice 5A
@@kyphoenix83 Really nice Command and Control. Not sure if you have lots of life exp relevant to leading and team control, or in other games? I think here you strike a really good balance of being directive yet not micro-managing. A good conductor :).
I liked that you make relevant and clear target indications or orders that have an identifiable reference point for your crew (who show good comms protocols). You use them as a team with preliminary commands enabling them to be set and ready to act on your instruction; redirection/correction without being flustered. Your compliments were well received too I'm sure :).
Genuinely nice to see such leadership in a game that promotes the concept of multi person ships (not just armadas of individuals).
Well done and thanks for the time you and your crew put in on this (and Katie for the editing and post prod in addition to her own time in game!).
I look forward to footage of the you building to multi ship command and controlling your battle space which will bring interesting challenges of control vs freedom of action by your fellow captains! :).
I would like to take a moment to appreciate the effort Katie puts into these videos. I recently came to realize i took the narrations for granted, but wanted to point out the hard work and express my appreciation.
Nice story telling adds a lot to the content - a gift Katie has that many of us seem to value :).
The Drake Buccaneer can fit diagonally in the Greg Burton’s bay, and it IS fast enough to intercept a Mercury Star Runner. o7
And have enough firepower to cripple the Star Runner
You live and you learn.
They're flying the Millennium Falcon analog and you're in a small Star Destroyer, sounds like the y made the obvious choice to engage you in the asteroid field.
More like a republic Corvette, actually it's almost the same size, and the Carrack is slow to accelerate but is as fast as a medium fighter in a straight line.
Your point stands though :)
Honestly more like the SR2 Normandy.
Love the mood on the Greg Burton, informal but effective communication. Just what you'd expect on a spaceship where the captain is wearing a beanie hat into battle. ;)
That moment you walked into those filled crew quarters was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in any game!
I will add that in all the years of playing Star Citizen I don't think anyone has EVER run this scene in a Carrack (or any other ship for that matter). I've watched a few of SC videos and it can sometimes seem that players are unaware that the ships have a full interior ... other than the cockpit!
@@akinsamuel2007 The game just isnt there yet, that is why.
Always nice to see my handiwork appreciated :) (Pilot of the Celestial Soul, Amateur ot the Hammerhead Corkscrew)
The nature of combat will change completely once there is a big enough ship that can still entertain an org, but also carry a light fighter or two
Kate (and Will..!) I look forward to your content avidly. Combat usually bores me to watch but this is different in that it has an overall purpose and an aim to it. The cat and mouse chase in the asteroid field was riveting to watch. I hope Chris Roberts and his friends at Cloud Imperium get wind of your efforts. Your narration and documentary style gameplay is something they can use to showcase this game to others who may also be encouraged to bring their own narratives to a rich and evolving world.
Thank you for the very kind words Akin and for watching :)
@@Citizen_Kate What's the purpose of the videos?
entertainment?
My favorite part of the video was the bed log on. Makes it feel like a long expedition and you're at home. Wow. Great video all around.
Brooooo! I literally just started binging Skunk Works! Ya'll have made my day lol. Keep up the great work!
Great video!! This is why I don't consider this game "pay to win". It's like rock paper scissors. Okay. You bought a rock but get owned by paper. The big expensive multi-crew ship couldn't compete against a smaller target in an asteroid field. The best you could do was a stalemate. And you were destroyed by a cheap, tiny, single player light fighter. If it was a bomber you'd be running.
I keep telling people you don't need expensive ships. I've seen an Aurora, a cheap starter ship dominate. It's also so easy to earn these ships in game. But I have an easier time taking on a Hammerhead by myself than convincing some people because of all the FUD around this game.
The Greg Burton vs. MSR fight was a real Empire Strikes Back Asteroid Field scene. Jezzail in the Millennium Falcon weaving around while Katie in the Star Destroyer has to worry about ramming into huge rocks.
@@Quazgar_of_the_North and an A-wing finishing off the start destroyer ;)
Great video as always and a very interesting scenario. For reasons of speed ships like the MSR and 400i outclass larger slower ships in survivability. They also tend to outclass smaller ships due to their toughness and enough firepower to deal with lesser ships. They are not combat ships, but they can take a beating and are fast enough to get away every time. Larger ships rely on shield strength and dps to survive an engagement, but the best way to survive is to not be there.

Your videos are great and you have become a favourite to follow! My wife and I really enjoy them - for different reasons though. I am hearing and my wife is profoundly deaf.
While We both love the shenanigans you get up to as a group, I especially enjoy the narration, dialog and story you provide throughout your videos. Albina loves your camera work, edits and footage. All throughout every video of yours we've viewed, she's constantly giggling, laughing and cheering at your org members successful combat critical moments, blunders and fellowship.
Of all the Star Citizen content creators we watch, you are entirely unique with your group centric gameplay footage and amazing edits. For a deaf viewer, she is completely engaged in your videos without the captions. You are the only SC RUclipsr she watches with me, so thank you for making content that is enjoyed by the other love of my life! :D
Kate, what would it take to make contact and play along with you guys in game?
Cheers
Join their discord and be active
Applause! I hope you're reading this Kate and Will ...
This made me love my StarRunner even more. I'm constantly out running everything and it's tanky.
2 medium shields is pretty average for a medium ship, but it probably gets a better power pool to all systems cos of the 2 powerplants, so as long as it uses its speed, which is the 5th fastest in the game (after Bucc, 350r, razor, m50 & herald) it can recharge its shields pretty fast ^^
Great video. Love the professionalism and maturity of the crews. No excessive chatter and even more impressive, no swearing. I am very happy I found this channel.
Fair warning there is a fair amount of swearing in other videos (I am just a natural swearer in some scenarios) that has been commented on by other viewers in the past - but for the actual formal fleet stuff we try and stay on best behavior :D
Thank you for watching Sango and glad you enjoyed :)
@@Citizen_Kate Lol. Swearing does not offend me in the least. I am just impressed at how businesslike and unflappable you guys are in this video.
Thanks for some great fights!
Enjoyable to watch and great work within the various teams.
Can't wait to see some organised, large scale battles between Skunk Works and other Orgs.
Just wanted to say this was really enjoyable! Thanks again for all the hard work creating this.
In situations like this, can be a solid move to put the Pisces out for EMP work. Even a small, but fairly close, EMP hit can foul up engines enough to give the carrack significantly more time on target. Also, if you take off the gimbals and give the Pisces an all ballistic loadout with some decent missiles, you'll be surprised what one can accomplish. The Pisces was my starter pledge and I'm a dogfighter, it doesn't pack a punch but what most people don't realize it is one of the fastest accelerating ships in the game and is more maneuverable than most ships. Against a faster, more maneuverable target like an MSR, a good Pisces deployment could have turned this around.
Also, advice about the asteroid fields - just skim the top of them towards your targets. Out of the field, your pilot can push full speed; whether or not weaving between asteroids would slow the MSR up enough is doubtful but it would have helped a lot.
Definitely looking forward to more battlegroup content - the Celestial Soul performance was extraordinary. With being able to edit in different captains, crews, and command styles; you're breaching into a genre that only DS9 and a few other fleet scifis really explored, all live on the internet. The difference the crew and captain make on the effectiveness of ships can be really explored this way; and thats interesting beyond just SC content. You've really got something special on your hands here
This is really good advice
I’m beginning my tower build and I have to thank your channel for sparking my desire to join you all in this grand adventure
the way to catch him in the astroid field while in a large ship like Carrack or 890, is you stay above the field, and you fly in his direction, then only engage him from above or below the field .. never go into the field... you can't keep up with a smaller target.
Great teamwork Skunks! You guys are inspirational. :) A trick I use at Yela asteroid belt is to set trajectory in a safe direction skimming just ABOVE asteroids, then decouple so you can point nose toward target. Once over target, swoop directly down through the belt to minimize the thickness of belt you have to pass through.
Great video, I really enjoy watching these well oiled and organized multi-crew missions!
Oh, and the new uniforms are drippin'!
This video! Oh my god! I love every minute of it! The classic crew wake up scene from Aliens, the chase, the thinking process, the way how you almost catch them above the planet and then they fled to the asteroid field... This is so classic! And then the unexpected grand finale! Just wow! The way how you edited the video is superb. 25 minutes of a single fight. It's like 1/4 of a movie. And not a single moment when I was bored. This is unique. What a great job! Congratulations to all your team.
Good gravy, watching the crew of the Celestial Soul at work makes me downright giddy. THIS is what Star Citizen is about, and you guys have really earned my respect (and my sub). Amazing work @Phoenix83!
I rly like this cinematic-storyteller-multicrew-gameplay-videos you do.
And i like the discipline of the crew in voicechat.
Greeetings to all of you from Germany
Bed logs are hilarious. They’re like waking from deep cryo, where sometimes some of the crew doesn’t survive.
When you get that liberator with two Super hornets on it you can play zone with the liberator and Carrack In an astroid Field
Very good vid.. Didn't didn't give up and used all at your disposal. GJ!
Great video as always. Makes the adventure come to life.
This has to be one of the most geeky, nerdiest things I’ve ever seen……and I love it. Looks like I’ll be buying a PC sometime soon
Just enjoying the sequence while in pursuit (14 Min) with Crusader on the horizon. Pure Star Citizen moment.
oh totally :D Daymar is my favorite moon too :D
This looks like a whole lot of fun!!
a good example of coms to the Verse. Tough job being in the turrets with the worst angle. Great training.

Excellent entertaining video once again from the Greg Burton crew and the crew of the Celestial Soul. Enjoying the style of these videos. Keep up the good work.
Great video Kate and will, happy you guys Org is up and running.
Really good team work all round.
I just found your channel in this hour. And I've got to tell you, I am fascinated by this content. It's well-edited, entertaining stuff, honestly well done! You doing a great job organising the play sessions and coordinating your crew.
Some comments on the pursuit tho! As a captain, it's your job to make sure the ship and your crew are safe, you are there to decide the next course of action. In this situation you didn't have the necessary tools to take down the target, you should have ended the chase at the moment when you realized the Starruner has lured you into the asteroid field. Your opponent was smart enough to use its only advantage effectively against you.
But still! This is amazing stuff! I enjoyed every bit of it!
As mentioned in the video, it was somewhat outside of the mission roleplay. We continued, as it was still a good learning the hard way opportunity for the entire crew. If we were staying serious we would have either broke contact, or called in a fleet and wiped the guy across Stanton if we felt like it. but we like to keep it fun for all, even our encountered opponents, usually...
Excellent Video, glad to be a new sub.
The Best quote I can think of for this situation is "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, it is life."
MSR is built to outrun anything it can't outfight and that Pilot knew his stuff, he kept using that speed maneuverability and terrain against you perfectly. The Burton however, never fell for the tricks, which is a good thing.
That lack of missiles and the Carrack's maneuvering disadvantage were a huge limitation, that couldn't be overcome this time. Even an ace Carrack pilot would have been on the Strugglebus with that matchup especially given the terrain.
I think your choices were basically to leave, or keep going until that MSR made a mistake, which is not a great plan for winning a fight. In theory the Pisces might have been able to help, at least as a distraction, but it would be well out of it's weight class fighting an MSR.
A Mantis and Fighters to Stop them jumping, and Nullify the MSR's maneuvering advantage would seem to be the answers.
It is really good to see that even Larger ships really have strong limitations in this game, Bigger, is not always better.
Yeah pay to win was proven false, one of the best lessons of the whole video here!
Awesome videos! It's great how you catch the details in the game. Sent you a request in the 'verse, hope to see you soon!
That was fun, thank you!
Another brilliant video! Thx!
Imperial pursuit of the falcon vibes.
Multi-crew when it works more often is pretty damn surreal.
What is more impressive is finding more than one person available to join in their particular time zone plus real life stuff.
Going to be interesting to see how many crew members can be provided with entertainment and if people will need to do double or triple duty to fill holes.
No excuse for single point bottlenecks unless the active membership drops.
d
I am learning so much ,, just by watching your videos,,, awesome.....
you almost need a battle group,, like, an aircraft carrier,, a couple of frigates, and a destroyer
👍😎
I'm loving how organised you guys are.. completely the opposite to my lot of mostly directionless muppets :D Nice one Kate o7
ooooh great to hear from you again Ascorbius :D and thanks for watching, you should come jump on the Skunk Works discord sometime :)
Very disciplined coms, very good. I’d love to see how you guys manage coms with multiple multicrew ships
Seems like a nice group you've got there!
Another great video and really like seeing th cat and mouse fight with the MSR
With 3 out of the 4 turrets having an angle on target (and there should always be 3 guns able to get on target in the carrack), it should take about 12 seconds to destroy an MSR using the stock rhinos. Gunners should be authorized "weapons free" and not need to be told to open fire when in range. The second those pips turn green they should be firing.
I've gunned in a carrack and watched hurricanes (roughly half the hull hp and shields of the MSR) melt in a matter of seconds, granted these were NPC ships, so not nearly as well piloted as a good human pilot.
It takes just shy of 4 seconds to completely deplete the shields of the MSR with 3 guns on target, and anything after that should be whittling away hull HP, so definitely a good call focusing on keeping the carrack pointed at the MSR so all 4 guns can open up. Definitely a good idea spending time practicing the piloting aspect. Also good idea having people calling out the vector of the MSR. It's not always easy to see that as the pilot, especially when trying to avoid slamming into asteroids, lol.
Keep at it with the practice and you guys are going to be a formidable force to reckon with!
A nice video again Kate, thank you. You can add a Buccaneer into the hangar of the Carrack to get compensated the missing rockets and manoeuvrability as crew seems not be a problem in your org :-) and well flown a Bucc is something you dont get rid off so fast. It can also operate on its own for a while if needed. I was sorry to see how often the MSR slipped through your fire, its time for CIG to give the weapons again the more or less old stats so you can profit from the range of bigger sized weapons offer.
Respect for your comm onboard, its nice to see. In my mostly german org its working fine as well (often) but sometimes we also run as mad chicken around without a real plan ^^ but who cares, its fun as well :-)
Awesome video, keep it up.
Great Vid, you guys did a great job. I am guessing the guy who flew into was NemesisOne, he likes to pvp a ton and I know him and he probably did it on accident though, he is a pretty good pilot and great pvper.
i loved the video well done i cant wait until my polaris and Perseus is in game.
add some fighters in too!
when they add the liberator, things are gonna get fun. you can add 2 liberators and a refueling craft to each battle group.
oh, and you could have a flagship kraken when they add those in.
or replace the carracks with idrises when those are in.
another great video and i would also like to say your Commander of the Celestial Soul is a great Captain great job by them. I look forward to the day that exploration ships become useful i have a constellation Aquila that needs to be kitted out and crewed but until the exploration is a thing it will remain docked
It’s all coming together for the Skunks
Great teamwork and communication. Only thing I saw was captain called for a port roll and pilot rolled starboard. 4:52 Ahh nevermind, video appears to have been mirrored in some scenes. For normal flight in asteroid field should stay coupled. Less drift especially for newer big ship pilots. I know everyone loves the carrack for some reason, but it is more of a defensive ship than an offensive.
That was some exciting footage, and I can't wait to do more dedicated fleet work in the future. I am just waiting patiently for CIG to iron out ORG gameplay. 24:25 Arrow was a deadly Kamikaze move, as the death of a spaceman gets fleshed out they won't do that so eagerly. Still, that was an awesome strategy by those guys against a bigger target, and hence it is true this game is not Pay to WIn.
thanks tlove - and I am gonna try and show footage from other Fleet ships more often too :) it was so cool to show the Celestial Soul in action
@@Citizen_Kate I cant wait, and thanks for the dedication to quality content.
this will be awesome whne Bengal carriers and Javlin destroyers are added, I can only imagine what it would look like outside a jump point
whole squads of Hercules and the new light carriers followed by Valkyrie drop ships
Oh hell yeah!
Flying sideways isn't going to slow you down much. Best thrust comes from the rear and then the bottom, so you need to bank your turns, while trying to stay on target. Need to predict well ahead of time at those speeds. The MSR has a clear advantage in manoeuvrability, and speed.
Fleet Admiral Katie.
I really wish SC had a kill cinematic like other games so you can see exactly how you died. I don't record my sessions, but have often just died/exploded/other inexplicably and would like to know why so I can learn from it.
I absolutely love this Star Citizen series but this episode didn't really end the way I'd hoped. I really like seeing you guys take a very serious and sort of milsim approach on your game nights, However, I believe all of you could make an even more effective combat unit If you'd use some other ships perhaps, I'm not saying you have to give up on the Carrack but I think It could do you some good to incorporate more fighters into your combat units, the MSR was a great example of where the Greg Burton lacks the ability to intercept smaller targets, If you had maybe 1 or 2 Vanguard Harbingers with you, they could have kept up with the MSR, fired S5 torps If they tried to escape or just shoot them to bits with their heavy weaponry, what's great with the Vanguard Is that It has enough QT fuel and a big enough QT drive to follow your Carrack all over Stanton. I also believe some fighters would aid you immensely when taking on NPC crewed hammerheads as well, even light fighters would help you a lot because they draw fire from the Hammerhead, If you have tried Soloing a HH with a fighter compared to doing It with just 1 friend you would notice a huge decrease In taken damage just because now only half of the guns are pointed at yourself, Of course the HH will prioritise the bigger threat but I still believe this could help you, fighters also deal decent DPS now after the capacitor changes so having some extra firepower on your side would also be great.
Yes, we are developing Battlegroups, this was a solo Ship training mission when it started.
@@marqushio2752 Amazing, eager to see you guys in action again.
That's a crazy kamikaze attack there 24:20
A-Wing to the bridge!
Carrack could have missles if you mount a tonk or ballista on top. Love your videos btw.
v cool as always
Carrack is a placeholder. Kate & crew are going full Polaris when it drops.
Carrack has no missiles, makes no sense. CIG needs to reconsider this.
Full Polaris? Is this what she confirmed? That would be great though.
I am enjoying your videos.
I bought into SC years and years ago mainly for SQ42. I try to stay away from the game because it just seemed like torture to play something that is considered alpha.
I've only looked at my ship in the hanger. I will finally start touring the verse once 30k protection is available to me. I will then go from there.
I have basically 0 experience in flight sims. But have played a ton of FPS shooters. Working on getting a more up to date pc to even play this game. Would love to try and pull more FPS guys into the genre. It wasn't too long ago that FPS guys had very little knowledge of RPGs and now everyone basically does them.
When the game comes along a bit more I'll be looking to join a org, got a lti Polaris in my hanger
These activities of yours are really great. Wish you guys were members of my org. >.
Come and join The Skunk's,Well organised,committed,helpful but most of all the greatest fun you can have in Star Citizen
Not gonna lie this is pretty dope
Just a thought, but you might want to add NATO brevity codes to your lingo for shipboard combat. They convey an awful lot of info in a few amount of words. For example:
Bogey: There's something on >radar< but we don't know if it's friendly or not. Don't shoot.
Contact: The bogey has been identified as an opposing force unit, but it's not done anything bad yet. Don't shoot yet.
Hostile: Bad guy doing bad things. Weapons free.
There's a reason the NATO forces use those brevity codes, and it really simplifies priorities, once everyone understands what they mean. Plus, it sounds cool as hell!
Edit: Bandit is a more common term used for a non-friendly unit that is not yet hostile. Sorry for the conundrum!
12:30 yeah that was frustrating those turret gunners were on their mobiglases or what ;D. Aiaiaiiiiiiiii Its cool how you guys play immersive as a team with discipline. 1 tip for asteroid fields. If you know you purchase for a lionger distance, put your glide path indicator in between all the asteroids you can currently see and you should be find so go pretty fast.
Love how he stay coupled when the commander tells him to go decoupled. hah, flying decoupled in a carrack in a asteroid field is suicide
A bucc in the hangar and a mantis on the outside pad, and you got yourself a patrol group
You guys need to start using a P-72 or 85X snub fighter for these fast targets like a Star Runner. The P-72 is faster, the 85X comes close in speed to the Star Runner. They both have as much firepower as a turret, especially when overclocking will be back.
If you guys are ever looking for more crew/pilots, I would totally be down to join Skunkworks! My current fleet is a Sabre, Retaliator, Mercury Star Runner, and a Corsair. I also have a Ranger once those are released.
We have many, but there's always room, see the description...
Great
I wish I had friends that played this game. I would like to have a crew someday.
when you guys do bounties you should take an EMP ship with you! Take a target like the Mongrel Squad does! They are pirates but there tactics work well for bounty hunting.
It's a good idea to keep a C8X in the Carrack.
I want to see ground battle with TONK :D
Great videos! That’s the kind of gameplay that makes SC unique.
I’d love to join a crew like yours. Is there any chance of getting in? Also, what would the time commitment be? As a father of three, there’s less time than I‘d like ;)
This really makes the point that 'pay to win' really isn't how it works here...
No mention of the Redeemer :P ... or Australian Battlegroup!
Sadly my org is still off playing ED and not in SC with me, those that aren't too busing with real life to play many games anymore. I'm hold the rank of commander (like the naval rank) and am one of the "space whales" in our org "Executive Justice". My personal fleet consists of: a Banu Merchantman with Banu Defender (Personal Flagship), Aegis Hammerhead Corvette (Patrol/Escort), a Anvil Carrack Expedition "Magellan's Victoria" with Pisces Expedition and Ursa Rover (Long Range Exploration), an Aegis Reclaimer (Salvage), a Crusader Hercules C2 Starlifter with 1 Tonk, 1 Ballista, and 1 Cyclone MT (Ground Assault Transport), a Drake Corsair with Drake Dragonfly (Raider/Explorer), a Crusader Mercury Star Runner (data interception/smuggling/general trading), an Origin 400i Pathfinder with X-1 Force and Cyclone RN (Scouting/Yacht), an Aegis Redeemer (Escort/Gunship), a MISC Freelancer MIS (Escort/Missile boat), an Aegis Sabre Raven (Stealth fighter/game package), a Drake Cutlass Blue (Prisoner Transport), a Drake Cutlass Black (Multi-role), a Drake Herald (surveillance/data runner), an Argo Mole (Mining), an Argo SRV (Recovery Tug), an Argo Cargo (snub/LTI token), an Origin 85x (runabout), a Greycat buggy and several bikes (racing/fun and LTI tokens).
My best friend who got me into SC in 2017 is a support guy in our org. He has an Anvil Crucible (Repair), an Aegis Vulcan (Repair/Refuel/Rearm), a MISC Prospector and a Greycat ROC. His wife has a Drake Cutlass Red and a Consolidated Mustang Alpha. We have a few more whales besides me, they have a least one Javelin destroyer, several Aegis Idrises, a MISC Endeavor Hope, an Orion or two, Starfarers, etc. which makes my fleet look weak. They were early backers who bought everything that came out before 2016, then I took over buying stuff.
Obviously we can't crew everything we have in our fleets as our org is only about 70 players, none of who are active in SC right now. We will tailor our ships to our missions, like you guys do now, once we are actively in the game. We hope to grow in size with new players coming on to crew our ships. I've given away several ships to org mates including starter packages to new recruits who were interested in the game. While I'm not rich, I'm a retired cop with a decent income and few bills (obviously no wife either). There is a possibility that I won't have a lot of years to play (and grind) in SC when it finally comes out so I'm enjoying what I can in game now. I also have an inheritance plan for my account should the worse come to pass so don't anyone ask, ha! I really enjoy your videos, it is good to see other orgs who are not a bunch of pie-rats and gankers.
holy shite
That's a huge amount of hardware, hope you get to enjoy it with good crews o7
Does the picis have missiles can't it keep the target busy? Try an 890 you'll have fighters inside. Another great videos keep up the good work o7.
Imagine being the captain of a Javelin. Damn.
A Connie would've been a better choice over the Carrack in this situation. All the pewpew while keeping multi crew in play
Holy cow the crew on the Celestial Soul sound like a bunch of steely-eyed pros. How much practice did that take?
It is good to see all the training paid off!
Look like your ship has 7 crew running it. I can't wait for server meshing so players can enjoy true fleet battles in multi crewed ships. My main org is not the most active so I affiliate with Operation Pitchfork with guys from multiple orgs.
You guys have organised ground warfare battle scenarios, do you think you'll be able to, or be interested in doing the same for larger space combat battles? Would be very cool to see one wing of your battlegroup in action. Always enjoy your videos, cheers!
Were getting there. Like to be trained up before we have the Queen record us.
and that is why I own a star Runner... there is currently no ship that can run at its speed and still be maneuverable enough to put down enough damage to bring it down
Watch out for Buccaneers...
Really like what you're doing, nice videos
Small question: Is there a way, to join you guys as an additional "battlegroup"
yes, there are plans for further expansion - a prospective Battlegroup Commander would need a pledged Command ship, to be of good character, able to commit the work needed to run the BG and follow the Skunk Works guidelines. But totally, we are adding a Aus/NZ timezone BG at this very moment
Well, we are looking kinda for a "parent"-organisation, as we have a focus on legal Merc-/Medical work.
And as we are not going to split up our little group, the idea of just forming a "battlegroup" / "squad" in a bigger org, or one building up crossed our minds.
Yes, we are willing to let others join our ranks, we are not closed off to outsiders. The idea in your battlegroups to have them set up with time-zones in mind is also really, really nice.
Guess 'applying' would be via Discord?
@@VulpesChama Yes hang out, see if there is a fit, or we can just game together a bit..
I need to join something like this out
It's interesting that you make the Carrack the flagship of your battlegroups, With a corvette escort. I always thought that the Carrack would make a good command ship based purely on it's advance scanner suits though that is unfortunately not in the game yet. Once other capital ships become available will you be switching out the carrack for those ships, Such as the Idris Or Polaris?
yes, most defiantely - at the very least a Polaris :D the Carrack has advantages over other big ships right now like the medbay and hangar, but is also very limited - especially for combat. It's what we have right now tough, you know? I would LOVE it though if CIG fleshed out the command position to allow tihngs like targetting/pinning targets for gunners and control of ship systems
@@Citizen_Kate I wholeheartedly agree, It's the biggest thing that stops me from commanding my own Carrack and acting as the pilot myself. that and limited crew number. I am very interested to see how the planned features for radar and scanners will change which ships become flagships for their battle groups. I know the Polaris for example is supposed to have the biggest Radar of any capital ship- Though it has always felt more like a Stealth ship to me.
Hopefully they can get other seats to be able to manage ship systems and targeting soon.
@@Citizen_Kate Fleet Admiral Byrne wants a Javelin. 😆
Do you guys ever think about bringing in a Mantis along for these bounty hunts to prevent them from Quantum jumping?
