Multicrew finally being a viable option in PVP will change everything. Seeing massive capital ship brawls will generate a massive amount of hype for the game and im all for it. I think CIG just needs to fix ramming, since zerg orgs can just ram big ships to completely nullify them.
I think not... when ship armor comes out, the polaris is just a torp boat. Better with 14 retaliatory than crewing the polaris, this will always be the case for all Cap ships as CIG seem clueless to making multi crew worthwhile.
We have seen fighter meta for to long. I feel that it would be beneficial to give multicrew a significant boost. Even if it makes them unbalanced for a short time. Would give data on the contrast of the current fighter meta. The multicrew gameplay is what brings the most players into the game.
@@PolBlanesCebrian Lmao, wtf is death of a spaceman gonna do? You can't take people's ships away because they died once or zero out their cash, that's an insane idea, that'd turn SC into a fucken roguelike.
I like my Polaris. My nephew and I were going to use it as a home base. Unfortunately my nephew has a terminal disease and he won’t be playing much with me anymore. We just loved exploring and going like research and investigation jobs. I will miss him playing. I may see if I can join an org. I have been playing this game for about 4 years and he was always playing. I live I South Carolina and he lives in Indiana. I may try to join a nice org. I have a few other ships and ccu’ed my way to a Polaris. I still own the Zeus and the Al max as well as a couple more. I don’t know how to join an org or what is required of me. But I am going to give it a try. Until then my Polaris will be my base in deep space. This game has come such a long way. For better or worse it still is the best damn game I have played.
So sorry about your nephew. I hope you and him can make some great memories when able, even if fleeting. I wish you the best of luck on finding a good community to join. We have a pretty good group and happy to bring in new members.
It woild be nice if the Polaris compelled them to do that 3rd tier insurance thing sooner so we can furnish our Polaris and not lose everything each time we hit a bug.
This literally sold me on the game. A buddy of mine has played on and off for a while and got the polaris. Got on for the free to play and being able to dock my ship with his carrier blew my mind. So excited to play this game now. Havent been itching to clock out from work like this for a long time.
My main gripe with the Polaris is there’s barely any signage that indicates what’s behind each door or down each hallway. In a hectic MP combat where many players might not know the ship layout well but need to get to a specific station quickly, I see this creating unnecessary problems
One could make the argument that not signing things up would be the safer way, enemies are more likely to not know the layout of a ship, compared to the crew. Don't forget, usually people will be on their own ships, and have spent a fair bit of time on them
@@MrJalasKelm The signage is not for the person that owns the ship. The signage is for the crew. I don't think the risk of raiders outweighs the need for your crew, during combat, to find their turrets, engineering stations, medbays, escape pods, armory and elsewhere quickly, esp in a non-org situation where many of your crew are unfamiliar hands-for-hire. If it's a solo ship or not nearly as huge as a capital ship then yeah who cares about signage.
Can confirm.... last night our org had 3 fully crewed Polaris deployed on a server. It was a blast beyond compair... we did fights against players, npc police and pirate forces... we were boarded , fought for our ship... we boarded another polaris and stole their torpedos...we decorated our ships with furniture...this ship is (the beginning of) an absolute game changer 😊
The most important thing to remember is this: You didn't HAVE to join groups or large ships. You can do most things solo and never pay attention to this stuff. But having access to larger ships with groups will change this game for a lot of people.
It certainly does change the game for a lot of people, like the two Polaris camping the event objective and killing every player on the server that tried to take part :P
As I believe I said before; For the solo player what is the goal, the purpose to do the grind? The excitement of hauling, mining, salvaging soon wears thin, all that work and effort and what do you spend your money on? If large ships and bases are not viable for the solo players, what is there?
@@Lisa-Azra_BroadGrind the money and resources and hire someone to build a small base for you. Ships and bases will need to be maintained with money and resources. Spacestations and Capital ships are not meant to be end game for solo players. There will be plenty of missions for solo players.
@@StoneCoolds >in less than 3 minutes This is if shooting AFK Polaris from close distance. If Polaris is also operated by 3-4ppl - things will quickly become sour for fighters. 🤣
@@StoneCoolds This i s why I don't watch streams of pvp, because most of time it is a bunch of carebears without any ideas what are they doing. I do a lot of pvp myself, I know the numbers and see on practice how they work. One Polaris S3x4 turret has enough burst DPS to blow Hornet in 6sec, S4x4 turret - in 4sec. It means during your supposed 3min fight, every Polaris gunner has enough time and DPS to blow a fighter 30-40 times. I don't know the people who's streams you've watched. But I know for sure that noway players of the same skill can compete with chances 30:1
@alexpetrov8871 you can have 1000x more dps, it is meaningless if you can't apply that DPS and you are just being kite... The fact that you mention DPS instead of the current problem of turrets puts your self claimed master of pvp in doubt
Thank god ramming would be an easy issue to fix. They could just add a max damage caused by ramming relative to its mass cap so gladiuses cant suicide bug idrises but a polaris would be able to do a ton of damage.
I’ll be joining your org on my next day off. I got a Polaris of my own but no one to crew it with, so I would love to actually have this thing out to use.
It was so much fun running a crewed Polaris. However, 2 million for repair bill, and 250k for restock. The mission we did barely covered the operating cost.
I think polaris is more meant to be a forward base. And when it needs defend itself it has it's tool. It not meant to do missions and kill pretty much to make profit. In that case I would bring HH or Perseus. They are meant to destroy things.
I love that the torpedo's are expensive to reload. That forces them to be used in a smart manner, You won't see orgs chasing down a single player with torpedo's using the Polaris, that would be counter-productive.
Unless CIG drops the price of consumables, ie: missiles, torps, etc... most if not all of the capital ships are going to be parked because missions don't cover the expenses, thus no profit. Any "CDF missions", ie: "XenoThreat", "Siege of Orison", etc... the CDF should cover "expenses" (fuel, repair, restock) of all participating ships and its crews (especially civilian ships).
Seeing actual capital ships in this reminds me of how much of a force multiplier they were for Industrial jobs in EVE, especially mining. A Corp/Org/Guild running an Orca in that with even 2 or 3 miners would shoot up the operation by a ton, especially with someone running back and forth from the station and the Orca. And the Rorq was even more so in low or null sec space. What I am getting at is, I will be REALLY interested to see how Industrial capital ships in Star Citizen affect things.
100%. Even now, just comparing a Reclaimer and Vulture, or to a lesser degree a Mole and Prospector gives some indication of it. But just imagine the difference between a Prospector and an Arrastra. I've been running a Reclaimer lately and bringing in about 1.5 million credits per salvage operation. Vulture would need 15 - 20 trips to carry the same amount of material. Not to mention that with the current salvage mechanics, a Vulture would just destroy about 500k credits worth of the construction mats.
Small edit, I don't mean to say capital and large ships weren't part of the original plan, they were on the Kickstarter page. Just that as a DLC it would have offered a nice change of pace to something more focus on smaller ship experiences which I think would have come earlier in development.
i love the massive ships, the carrack was my home until my polaris loaner and im a solo player. my only wish is that we can hide our ship markers, i want to be able to park my mobile base in a canyon or forest and expect it to be safe there for as long as my personal game loop has me away from it. its even more important that small ships can do that but still i dont want to be seen 100% of the time
Large Capitol ships shouldn't be able to not be detected. You should be able to use components that have less of a signature but the amount of heat and noise that Capitol class components would put off would still put out a significant cross section on radar. You will be able to stop in deep space and save a custom marker.
Any ship can be detected and that's fine, Polaris is a stealth ship so it's already very quiet, but what we really need is a fucking marker to our OWN SHIPS, so we can get back at our mobile base every time even if is floating in space
That S10 torpedo that has a top speed that's half the speed of most ships and is easily defeated by PDTs? The same S10 torp that costs a million SCU to replace? That S10 Torpedo? You silly.
I LOVE my Polaris. I am a primarily solo player and I keep a Vulture, Hull A, Nursa, CSV-SM, ROC and up to 9 ATLS’ on it at all times. It covers all game loops I do as well as military ones because one turret and the point defense is enough to destroy most enemies with easy. My one and only complaint is I cannot spawn it with a desired loadout so whenever the server eats it I’m forced to spend hours re-stocking my ship with vehicles, ships, suits, guns and consumables. PLEASE CIG make a feature where we can pay more to claim a loadout when we claim our ship. It’s a huge time suck whenever the game glitches and I’m forced to do it all over by hand; we have auto unloading, can’t we have auto-stocking too?
I suspect that capital ships will be such a high time sink and cost to operate that if SC had a player run economy, all the big ships will devalue. Players will be scrambling to sell off the capitals and the price will drop dramatically ? I'd rather have all the small to medium ships than one capital ship.
@@mintberry6014 yeah which is ridiculous considering that for the first time a smaller ship has a capital ship as it's loaner. I'm curios if rumors of the Perseus being upsized are correct. Especially given that CIG has continuously called it a Frigate and Capital ship
Ah a fellow fury aficionado I see. I am myself a fury fanatic. I've got 16 individually owned fury's. With about 6 more in my buy packs I'll need to reaquire
I bought one and I kind of regret it because star citizen is not even remotely close to being ready to use it. Good luck getting the crew and nobody wants to be an engineer unless they can’t afford a ship
Honestly i didnt even realise this, i feel like the Polaris flew under most of us's radar when it comes to it meaning something for the game. You have restored my hopium tanks for the time being, sir
The real benefit of ships like this is you can finally build real fleets. its not about orgs with 100 ppl or less with about orgs with 1000s+ . There will be fleets of 50+ of these fully crewed with support ships all around them. Traveling along side carracks and odysseys and krakens, with repair ships, miners salvagers and all sorts of other stuff
Don't take this the wrong way, but with your level of production you should be making all kinds of videos. This kind of production with videos that could capture large audiences could be huge for you.
The Polaris was insane to play with even for phase 1 Save Stanton. And it has so much possibility for multi-crew. You already require 9 people (1 pilot, 2 Missile operators, 6 turret gunners) to maximize the output of the ship, then we have a minimum of 6 additional personel when other systems come online (engineering, ship boarding, ammo reloading). For reference, this is: - 1 Pilot (flight) - 1 Co-pilot (s10 missile reloading) - 6 turret gunners - ~2-3 engineers - 3 Anti-boarding personal (security) - 2 Missile operators (s3 and s10) That is nearly 15 crew members to have nearly maximum effectiveness based on the known multi-crew gameplay. Absolutely amazing, especially for a ship as OP as the Polaris.
I mean, and if this is a surprise to anyone, then they obviously had no clue what game they were getting themselves into 😅 Fighters, we're never going to be the meta for long.. Endgame was always going to be fleets of capitals going at each other. They made it very clear years ago that they want the loss of a ship to be extremely difficult and extremely painful. Right now, the game is neither of those. With the introduction to capital ships on this level, and they're only going to start getting bigger and stronger. Moving forward The game's true vision is slowly starting to poke its head out, and players are going to have to start getting used to the fact that flying around in these small and medium ships. Taking people out does not something you're going to be able to do that often.. Not less, you're going after miners and hollers. 😂
A "one off" doesn't mean a damn thing. How long has the 890 been in game? Be honest, the Polaris was added because of economic pressure. It was a business decision, not a game content decision.
@@Armory508 Good question. I don't think so. It was not my Polaris when I tried it and it didn't work. The CoPilot of the Polaris is the one who controls the doors.
PDCs wreck torpedoes, easily. Bespoke front turret is...not great. Enemies can shoot through the hangar door and destroy your ship in the hangar, even with your shields up. The medical bay is more bare bones than the Nursa, there isn't even a marking on the door saying "Medical." The Captain's Quarters are still locked. It has a hover, floating in the air enter way off the side of the ramp, you can't reach the entrance buttons. It doesn't want to store with ships in it, it'll glitch out and you'll have to claim it, so don't leave anything inside of it. The hologlobe is non-functional. It's not even on, like in the Carrack. The Vulture does not fit in the hangar, even if you tilt it down to get the prongs in first, the glitches and gets stuck onto the floor. You can't even back it out. Instead of having the best view, you sit to the left or right. The center seat is for the Captain, which does nothing other than have two MFDs. The torpedo operator is not on the bridge, it's a level down. I can understand, sort of, the pilot not controlling torpedoes, but there's no reason to have the operator away from the bridge, or at least have both locations. It's a remote turret, it can be on the bridge. Docking, and you'll need to dock in space, is very jank. There's more, but I don't remember off the top of my head. The Polaris has a long way to go.
@Montross I'm fine with positive but be accurate. Imagine no CCU chain, spending $750, then finding out the issues. The Polaris is cool but it has a lot of issues. Either he doesn't have experience with one or is straight up being disingenuous. Either means trying to sell it for CIG without real details is shady. I hope CIG fixes them. Must be a part of the Content Creator program, getting free stuff from CIG for good press. Good to know.
There are issues. Your points are valid. However, two of them require refutation. The Polaris is a fantastic Vulture carrier for its size. You need to face the Vulture forks toward the elevator end of the hangar for it to fit. And turn off Proximity Assist 100% of the time in Star Citizen (now conveniently in the settings MFD). If that still doesn't work for you, then the unfortunate answer is that you need to practice your piloting, as it's only a skill issue at that point. It works exceedingly well for being a feature that exists within Star Citizen, and I'm no Hybrid V Audio, landing expert. The torpedo operator will be more controversial of a topic as time passes, I'm sure. It being primarily in the torpedo room makes a lot of gameplay sense, so that the operator can load as well as fire if you're running a thin crew. It also makes gameplay sense from a balance standpoint to make it harder for the pilot to ghost ride and go fire torpedoes. It does not make narrative or Cool Factor sense, which CIG cares about almost over anything else, so we'll see if it gets updates. I don't care either way since I don't want to use it in combat most of the time, I want to use it as a substitute for the Liberator and I have never fired one of its torpedoes.
my gripe with bigger ships (100m and more) is that once all sorts of systems will come in you won't be able to use them anymore as a solo player simply because there is no crew AI and you won't be able to make the funds necessary to even maintain the ship, basic refueling alone will cost fortunes and when you can't simply destroy and reclaim the ship anymore it will be ugly. and i blame CIG because they supported the notion that yes indeed big ships will be viable for solo players because they will have ai systems in place that manage the whole maintenance work. now those people who bought big ships (and i think the majority who bought these ships planned to be the only real player in them) are fucked. Imagine spending thousands in ships only to end up with not affording to take them out of the hangar and instead just grind with your 30-40m starter. its not yet a major issue because everyone still can rp with their big ships since you dont have to run around them and do stuff to maintain them. But once all this stuff comes in, shit will hit the fan.
Not being able to put the cap into an orbit and do a mission with a smaller craft from the hangar is a huge missed opportunity. I don't need Kerbal level of fidelity but just basic orbits would be so damn awesome to have.
How much money do you think military ships make in real life? None. Infact they burn millions to keep them running. They are meant to kill things, not make a profit.
I just hope this means CIG isn't afraid to make the kraken now. THAT ship will fulfill MANY "G.I. Joe" carrier base roleplay fantasies out there from the players! 😁
Uh, you know the Polaris is ingame, right? Like the game is clearly ready now. People can fly it and everything, right now. How isn't the game ready yet?
@@nuclearsimian3281 Same argument I see in the rest of this comment section. The Polaris may be ready but a lot of the functions necessary to support it aren't. Mission payouts are still too low to fund the thing. AI Crew and blades aren't online. Ship armor isn't functional. Master Mode is borking everything. Engineering and repair aren't online. Outside of organized PvP, there aren't any fleet actions to take part in. The Polaris may be flight ready but a lot of the mechanics that make it more than an org ship aren't here and CIG has been dragging their feet on a lot of those.
@@graveyardshift6691 "org ship" in a 12 year old game (alpha tech test) without any in house features to support "org play" We all want this goliath of a space dream to be a reality but some of these ppl are huffing too much copium. 12 years ppl. 12 F-ing years and we still cant use elevators or ANY of the most basic features without encountering severe issues. The gameplay loop is and has always been "How to work around everything wrong to achieve the thing." If SC looked like ass it wouldn't have this support because its broken. Its that banger of a hostile GF. The sex is amazing but outside of that its hell on Earth. But were supposed to not worry because eventually, one day, we cant lock down when exactly, but one day, she'll get the help she needs and the relationship will be great.
The awkward moment when CIG has to create content to fuel the whales buying this giant, but they have a panic attack because normal player can also actually earn some money off these missions.
Okay we get it it's like the 16th time I've seen a video about the capital class ship for those of you who are not in a clan group or org, having the ship or even owning the ship is a literal nightmare because you cannot maintain it as one person am I so I guess I'll just be waiting until the next couple of patches where they release ships that are either one man two-man crew or Four Man Crew ships I'm still waiting on the whole update for the origin series start when they add their home system which is Terra
with the polaris showing that capital ships are viable there should be no reason to release the idris into player hands since it is already in the verse
Almost. They have been working up in ship scale. Now they first must populate this level of ships with more ships, more content, etc before they can move to the idris. As currently, there is not really a reason for the Polaris to be here. Which is understandable because it's the first ship in this class. So now the content around this class of ship must be implemented before we go even bigger.
I wish SC would show more love to solo players. It's easy to be lazy and have PvP be a main focus because then you don't have to work that hard to create actual long-lasting content. But man, show love to solo players who want to fly a Carrack or 600i by themselves.
Except there is no capital ship combat for pvp. O enemy players brought a fully manned polaris(8 players). Send 2 fighters in to ram. 2 fighters lost to kill 1 polaris.
I like many things about it but as an owner of one I was a bit disappointed. I recognize the fact the military ship but I even brought up on infomerunners that there are certain details like the medical bay that just don't feel right to me. They disagreed because they Said it feels like a medical bay on a military ship. I disagree, but the reason I even brought it up is because walking around the ship I would not have known it was not just another room. It literally looks like a copy of the brig. How about at least writing medical or infirmary on the door so that you can tell that's what it is instead of needing to use a mini map. New players or guests on your ship are not going to know that's what it is and considering CIG wants us to be able to walk around without armor on we are not going to have a mini map available always. I'm just giving critical thoughts and I don't know why it always rubs everyone the wrong way to hear something negative about a thing they love, but I want the entire game to be better. There are many other things about the Polaris that I know will get fixed, but that seems to just be something they carelessly made boring. Like it's not important. I was more excited walking through my starlancer for the first time because it felt like a lot of heart went into that ship while the Polaris feels really good to a point and like they rushed it at the end.
It's pretty easy. Just go 3rd person and scoot up then hold N for auto-dock. CIG can't design a UI to save their lives, so doing it in 1st person is a no-go.
@@jasonfrost5025what? First person docking is amazing! It's just unfortunately buggy as shit currently and doesn't always recognize the port in the correct location of the ship. But when that happens, third person docking doesn't work either.
I'm not a Star Citizen player (don't have a gaming PC that will run it), but I'm curious, could you run like a bounty hunting group or a mercenary group as a group of players on one of these capital ships? If it's not a thing, please don't come at me, I'm just starting to watch stuff on Star Citizen.
Not in it's current state. But in the very long term, the answer to that will probably be yes. Especially with something like a Kraken carrier ship. The Polaris is only going to be able to dock one decent fighter, or a couple very small light fighters. So by itself, the Polaris will be more of a single unit. Not something you could launch a group of players from.
@BaneSIlvermoon I'm already thinking of scenarios where this could be applied. Scenario 1 (mercenary group): A cargo freighter is hauling some VERY valuable cargo for a high-profile client. Said client hires your merc group to protect the freighter from pirates. You have to jump into the system with a Kraken loaded with fighters and another capital ship with heavy weapons (Idris?) to protect the freighter. Scenario 2 (bounty hunting group): A notorious gang has overrun a sector, and local authorities don't have the man power to defend. Your bounty hunting group gets hired to come arrest or eliminate the criminals.
As any capital ship, it's slow, sluggish, expensive, with huge claim timer, takes 3 mins to get to cockpit, and will be impossible to maintain without a crew when they add engineering. So yeah, good ship if you play in a large group and do some global sh-t, very unpractical if you play solo for fun.
That streamer I mentioned in a previous comment played with Berks yesterday. I think he’s now hooked. At one point he apologized for throwing shade at SC without trying it. I’m going to try and send more of your content to him because I think you do a really good job of explaining SC while keeping the copium/hopium to a minimum. Much love man and thank you for producing such great videos
CIG has said multiple times that it will always be possible to play the game solo but that's not the intent. They want you to play as a group and I think if they inspire group play by making it better and not by making single play worse than it needs to be we can have a great game.
@@Furnace2552-cz8iy Yup, this close to the right statement. Star Citizen through out the years has always promoted whether you’re playing Solo, Duo, Quads or other Multi-Crews+, every aspect would and could be an exciting thing in their own way. Just cause the game is a Multiplayer, doesn’t mean it has to be all the time, there has to be a balance for all aspects, because quite frankly you’re not going to be solo all the time and you’re not going to be with Multiple people all the time. People have lives. It’s all of us doing our own things, in a Persistent Universe that is affected by our actions and done in that bubble.
As cool as it is to introduce big, beefcake capital ships... Unfortunately it just adds to more of the glitches, bugs and just, down right pathetic issues SC developers have introduced. I really wish they would just STOP with the darn ships and focus on the bugs, glitches and issues plagued throughout SC. It is amazing what SC developers have done but it outweighs the bugs and glitches and (what I've always seen come from them thus far) cash grab ship production while falling back on features and fixes they have "promised" but backed away from. I really want this game to succeed, but with them focused on 2 games... It's very hard to understand what it is they're focused on in the development.
Polaris is currently a pointless ship with no content to make use of it, and no word on when if ever that content will come. With how brain dead the AI is you can do most if not all bounties with an Avenger.
It almost completely replaces the Carrack for group play. I agree there isn't much out outside of events and large scale bounties to pose it any challenge, but for group gameplay it has a ton of point.
first things first, because it always buggs me: "Corvette-Class capital ship" Its either a corvette or a capital ship, not both. A corvette rielies on a fleet and/or close support scenario like coastal patrols and short range duties. A capital ship is able to do long(er) range operations on its own if necessary, while also have a distinct place in a larger fleet compliation. The Polaris fit, by design, the classification as a heavy destroyer - so yes, a smaller kind of capital ship! Btw: Master Modes literally makes Capitals in combat unviable in the long run. They simply have not enough evasion potential and rely solely on PDCs atm... if capital-combat or general usability shall be a thing in the future, Master Modes simply needs to be removed, because its basically detremental to them.
Ahh yes Morph. The entitled creator back in the day who exploits server cap and his minions to block out an entire server to run JT freely then CRIES and goes unhinged to CIG to ban a random that managed to get into said server and attack them...1v49 smh.. Sorry i know hes a buddy of yours as a creator but that was ridiculous.
Its almost like its for the people who run an org and have multiple revenue streams to support running a capship in combat, and do enough of that where they can afford it.

Better with 14 retaliatory than crewing the polaris, this will always be the case for all Cap ships as CIG seem clueless to making multi crew worthwhile.
Ramming is a non issue when armor and death of a spaceman are implemented

It would be able to lock it down and for the ‘red alert’ to activate across the ship not just one area at a time.
It woild be nice if the Polaris compelled them to do that 3rd tier insurance thing sooner so we can furnish our Polaris and not lose everything each time we hit a bug.
This literally sold me on the game. A buddy of mine has played on and off for a while and got the polaris. Got on for the free to play and being able to dock my ship with his carrier blew my mind. So excited to play this game now. Havent been itching to clock out from work like this for a long time.
My main gripe with the Polaris is there’s barely any signage that indicates what’s behind each door or down each hallway. In a hectic MP combat where many players might not know the ship layout well but need to get to a specific station quickly, I see this creating unnecessary problems
Signage would be helpful, for sure.
All big ships are just combat arenas for SQ404
One could make the argument that not signing things up would be the safer way, enemies are more likely to not know the layout of a ship, compared to the crew. Don't forget, usually people will be on their own ships, and have spent a fair bit of time on them
@@MrJalasKelm The signage is not for the person that owns the ship. The signage is for the crew. I don't think the risk of raiders outweighs the need for your crew, during combat, to find their turrets, engineering stations, medbays, escape pods, armory and elsewhere quickly, esp in a non-org situation where many of your crew are unfamiliar hands-for-hire. If it's a solo ship or not nearly as huge as a capital ship then yeah who cares about signage.
Can confirm.... last night our org had 3 fully crewed Polaris deployed on a server. It was a blast beyond compair... we did fights against players, npc police and pirate forces... we were boarded , fought for our ship... we boarded another polaris and stole their torpedos...we decorated our ships with furniture...this ship is (the beginning of) an absolute game changer 😊
Repairing the Polaris is a auec wipe unto itself.
Lost 3 millions in the first 5 hours of playing, not a ship to troll around lol
@@LawnD4rt yep.the pvp orgs (those that fight simply for the sake of fighting) will still very much be having their battles in fighters
>Repairing the Polaris is a auec wipe unto itself.
in 4.0 EPTU Polaris can do 1mil profit per one cargo run currently.
The most important thing to remember is this: You didn't HAVE to join groups or large ships. You can do most things solo and never pay attention to this stuff.
But having access to larger ships with groups will change this game for a lot of people.
Like solo your hornet at Mach 2 into a fully crewed polaris for a KO
It certainly does change the game for a lot of people, like the two Polaris camping the event objective and killing every player on the server that tried to take part :P
As I believe I said before; For the solo player what is the goal, the purpose to do the grind? The excitement of hauling, mining, salvaging soon wears thin, all that work and effort and what do you spend your money on? If large ships and bases are not viable for the solo players, what is there?
@@Lisa-Azra_Broad Yeap. The only hope for a solo player is to put trust in the fairy dust plan of AI Npcs right now. Not good.
@@Lisa-Azra_BroadGrind the money and resources and hire someone to build a small base for you. Ships and bases will need to be maintained with money and resources. Spacestations and Capital ships are not meant to be end game for solo players. There will be plenty of missions for solo players.
great vid, editing was on point Toes Fam.
Meanwhile box delivery is still bugged… I swear if they would find a way to monetize them they would work smooth as silk.
It will be nice to get a big ship that you can actually defend yourself in.
Sadly you still can't in the Polaris, 3 or 4 fighters can disable a Polaris in less than 3 minutes 😂
@@StoneCoolds >in less than 3 minutes
This is if shooting AFK Polaris from close distance. If Polaris is also operated by 3-4ppl - things will quickly become sour for fighters. 🤣
@alexpetrov8871 .... Literally just watch streams of PVPrs they are totally donking on fully crewed Polaris, you must be a dev to not know this lol
@@StoneCoolds This i s why I don't watch streams of pvp, because most of time it is a bunch of carebears without any ideas what are they doing. I do a lot of pvp myself, I know the numbers and see on practice how they work. One Polaris S3x4 turret has enough burst DPS to blow Hornet in 6sec, S4x4 turret - in 4sec. It means during your supposed 3min fight, every Polaris gunner has enough time and DPS to blow a fighter 30-40 times. I don't know the people who's streams you've watched. But I know for sure that noway players of the same skill can compete with chances 30:1
@alexpetrov8871 you can have 1000x more dps, it is meaningless if you can't apply that DPS and you are just being kite... The fact that you mention DPS instead of the current problem of turrets puts your self claimed master of pvp in doubt
Thank god ramming would be an easy issue to fix. They could just add a max damage caused by ramming relative to its mass cap so gladiuses cant suicide bug idrises but a polaris would be able to do a ton of damage.
Great video, thanks!
043: haha, nice: you already incorporate the exit jump travel coda :)
I’ll be joining your org on my next day off. I got a Polaris of my own but no one to crew it with, so I would love to actually have this thing out to use.
It was so much fun running a crewed Polaris. However, 2 million for repair bill, and 250k for restock. The mission we did barely covered the operating cost.
Bro its a military vessel. It is not supposed to make a profit.
I think polaris is more meant to be a forward base. And when it needs defend itself it has it's tool. It not meant to do missions and kill pretty much to make profit.
In that case I would bring HH or Perseus. They are meant to destroy things.
@@vegacool1 dont lose the S6 wapons they are 680k auec each to repair
@@Staticsceptre so true, military ships cost so much to operate.
@Staticsceptre Says who? It is a video game, then let´s also make fighters not be profitable, they are military after all.
I love that the torpedo's are expensive to reload. That forces them to be used in a smart manner, You won't see orgs chasing down a single player with torpedo's using the Polaris, that would be counter-productive.
Except they need to be cheap, because they're incredibly easy to shoot down or avoid altogether. Torpedoes are a dead meta in this game.
Shattered Horizon, that is a name I have not heard in a loong time. It had some truly excellent ideas for person to person space combat.
Unless CIG drops the price of consumables, ie: missiles, torps, etc... most if not all of the capital ships are going to be parked because missions don't cover the expenses, thus no profit.
Any "CDF missions", ie: "XenoThreat", "Siege of Orison", etc... the CDF should cover "expenses" (fuel, repair, restock) of all participating ships and its crews (especially civilian ships).
Seeing actual capital ships in this reminds me of how much of a force multiplier they were for Industrial jobs in EVE, especially mining. A Corp/Org/Guild running an Orca in that with even 2 or 3 miners would shoot up the operation by a ton, especially with someone running back and forth from the station and the Orca. And the Rorq was even more so in low or null sec space.
What I am getting at is, I will be REALLY interested to see how Industrial capital ships in Star Citizen affect things.
100%. Even now, just comparing a Reclaimer and Vulture, or to a lesser degree a Mole and Prospector gives some indication of it. But just imagine the difference between a Prospector and an Arrastra.
I've been running a Reclaimer lately and bringing in about 1.5 million credits per salvage operation. Vulture would need 15 - 20 trips to carry the same amount of material. Not to mention that with the current salvage mechanics, a Vulture would just destroy about 500k credits worth of the construction mats.
Small edit, I don't mean to say capital and large ships weren't part of the original plan, they were on the Kickstarter page. Just that as a DLC it would have offered a nice change of pace to something more focus on smaller ship experiences which I think would have come earlier in development.
i love the massive ships, the carrack was my home until my polaris loaner and im a solo player. my only wish is that we can hide our ship markers, i want to be able to park my mobile base in a canyon or forest and expect it to be safe there for as long as my personal game loop has me away from it. its even more important that small ships can do that but still i dont want to be seen 100% of the time
Large Capitol ships shouldn't be able to not be detected. You should be able to use components that have less of a signature but the amount of heat and noise that Capitol class components would put off would still put out a significant cross section on radar.
You will be able to stop in deep space and save a custom marker.
Any ship can be detected and that's fine, Polaris is a stealth ship so it's already very quiet, but what we really need is a fucking marker to our OWN SHIPS, so we can get back at our mobile base every time even if is floating in space
this will provide opportunity to role playing on the server and giving chances to other type of gamer
Good vid, thanks.
All I know is that my cargo is better defended than ever. Bandits gonna get that S10 torpedo.
That S10 torpedo that has a top speed that's half the speed of most ships and is easily defeated by PDTs? The same S10 torp that costs a million SCU to replace? That S10 Torpedo? You silly.
@ that is the point. If I can annoy my friends, I will take that chance.
@@sundercats685
You must not know how to PVP. There's ways around all that.
You pulled me in with kraken image. Give kraken news
All I have is we land on Krakens, sorry! :(
I LOVE my Polaris. I am a primarily solo player and I keep a Vulture, Hull A, Nursa, CSV-SM, ROC and up to 9 ATLS’ on it at all times. It covers all game loops I do as well as military ones because one turret and the point defense is enough to destroy most enemies with easy.
My one and only complaint is I cannot spawn it with a desired loadout so whenever the server eats it I’m forced to spend hours re-stocking my ship with vehicles, ships, suits, guns and consumables. PLEASE CIG make a feature where we can pay more to claim a loadout when we claim our ship. It’s a huge time suck whenever the game glitches and I’m forced to do it all over by hand; we have auto unloading, can’t we have auto-stocking too?
I suspect that capital ships will be such a high time sink and cost to operate that if SC had a player run economy, all the big ships will devalue. Players will be scrambling to sell off the capitals and the price will drop dramatically ? I'd rather have all the small to medium ships than one capital ship.
I realized last night that the loaner for the Perseus is now the Polaris…..
@@mintberry6014 yeah which is ridiculous considering that for the first time a smaller ship has a capital ship as it's loaner. I'm curios if rumors of the Perseus being upsized are correct. Especially given that CIG has continuously called it a Frigate and Capital ship
@@maddogs1989I personally hope it ends up in the 120m range with a few extra amenities than the concept offered originally.
@hyperelysian4702 my guess would be something between the Hammerhead and the Carrick in size. We will see though.
Yep. I haven't used my Perseus to Odyssey token yet because the Polaris is a much cooler loaner than the Carrack
Hope we one day have titan ships like eve has 🙃
The Javelin is going to be a mobile Org City, we have two.
Yes, the vulture fits. Barely, but safely.
Hold on, there's APCs in helldivers?
I had the same thought. Apparently have missed some stuff since I quit logging in.
Star Citizen - becoming what it should be ❤
Ah a fellow fury aficionado I see. I am myself a fury fanatic. I've got 16 individually owned fury's. With about 6 more in my buy packs I'll need to reaquire
I bought one and I kind of regret it because star citizen is not even remotely close to being ready to use it. Good luck getting the crew and nobody wants to be an engineer unless they can’t afford a ship
The mission rewards to the capital ship owners aren't worth the repair costs, so as a capital ship owner, I don't recommend it to many many players!
Honestly i didnt even realise this, i feel like the Polaris flew under most of us's radar when it comes to it meaning something for the game.
You have restored my hopium tanks for the time being, sir
you are the best SC Commentator
Still holding out for the Genesis Starliner
I've had a Starliner in my hanger for years. Very interested to see if they end up making it modular, or just have numerous variants.
Thank you yet again Space Tomato, for yet another great and informative video about the game that we all love or love to hate😃
The real benefit of ships like this is you can finally build real fleets. its not about orgs with 100 ppl or less with about orgs with 1000s+ . There will be fleets of 50+ of these fully crewed with support ships all around them. Traveling along side carracks and odysseys and krakens, with repair ships, miners salvagers and all sorts of other stuff
Bro mentioned battlestar galactica, dudes already my favorite lol its hard to come by other fans compared to star trek
The game is becoming MORE long term-focused!??!?!?!??!?
moar!
They should make a drake capital interdiction ship called the Leviathan.
The vulture does fit. Have to stick the front under the lip.
Got ten of my mates together finally in my Polaris to do phase 3 and no one spawned then the server crashed lmao
Don't take this the wrong way, but with your level of production you should be making all kinds of videos. This kind of production with videos that could capture large audiences could be huge for you.
The Polaris was insane to play with even for phase 1 Save Stanton. And it has so much possibility for multi-crew. You already require 9 people (1 pilot, 2 Missile operators, 6 turret gunners) to maximize the output of the ship, then we have a minimum of 6 additional personel when other systems come online (engineering, ship boarding, ammo reloading).
For reference, this is:
- 1 Pilot (flight)
- 1 Co-pilot (s10 missile reloading)
- 6 turret gunners
- ~2-3 engineers
- 3 Anti-boarding personal (security)
- 2 Missile operators (s3 and s10)
That is nearly 15 crew members to have nearly maximum effectiveness based on the known multi-crew gameplay. Absolutely amazing, especially for a ship as OP as the Polaris.
I mean, and if this is a surprise to anyone, then they obviously had no clue what game they were getting themselves into 😅
Fighters, we're never going to be the meta for long.. Endgame was always going to be fleets of capitals going at each other. They made it very clear years ago that they want the loss of a ship to be extremely difficult and extremely painful. Right now, the game is neither of those. With the introduction to capital ships on this level, and they're only going to start getting bigger and stronger. Moving forward The game's true vision is slowly starting to poke its head out, and players are going to have to start getting used to the fact that flying around in these small and medium ships. Taking people out does not something you're going to be able to do that often.. Not less, you're going after miners and hollers. 😂
Just please don't abandon the 890 Jump.
A "one off" doesn't mean a damn thing. How long has the 890 been in game? Be honest, the Polaris was added because of economic pressure. It was a business decision, not a game content decision.
I was unable to find a single bunk on the Polaris that allows a bed log. Did I miss something?
Bed log currently doesn't work
Can you remotely operate your Polaris hangar doors from your fighter?
@@Armory508 Good question. I don't think so. It was not my Polaris when I tried it and it didn't work. The CoPilot of the Polaris is the one who controls the doors.
PDCs wreck torpedoes, easily. Bespoke front turret is...not great. Enemies can shoot through the hangar door and destroy your ship in the hangar, even with your shields up. The medical bay is more bare bones than the Nursa, there isn't even a marking on the door saying "Medical." The Captain's Quarters are still locked. It has a hover, floating in the air enter way off the side of the ramp, you can't reach the entrance buttons. It doesn't want to store with ships in it, it'll glitch out and you'll have to claim it, so don't leave anything inside of it. The hologlobe is non-functional. It's not even on, like in the Carrack. The Vulture does not fit in the hangar, even if you tilt it down to get the prongs in first, the glitches and gets stuck onto the floor. You can't even back it out. Instead of having the best view, you sit to the left or right. The center seat is for the Captain, which does nothing other than have two MFDs. The torpedo operator is not on the bridge, it's a level down. I can understand, sort of, the pilot not controlling torpedoes, but there's no reason to have the operator away from the bridge, or at least have both locations. It's a remote turret, it can be on the bridge. Docking, and you'll need to dock in space, is very jank. There's more, but I don't remember off the top of my head.
The Polaris has a long way to go.
@@vik12D ehhh he just had to put out another positive video about SC, the RUclipsrs wont dare to say something negative.
@Montross I'm fine with positive but be accurate. Imagine no CCU chain, spending $750, then finding out the issues.
The Polaris is cool but it has a lot of issues.
Either he doesn't have experience with one or is straight up being disingenuous. Either means trying to sell it for CIG without real details is shady.
I hope CIG fixes them.
Must be a part of the Content Creator program, getting free stuff from CIG for good press.
Good to know.
There are issues. Your points are valid. However, two of them require refutation.
The Polaris is a fantastic Vulture carrier for its size. You need to face the Vulture forks toward the elevator end of the hangar for it to fit. And turn off Proximity Assist 100% of the time in Star Citizen (now conveniently in the settings MFD). If that still doesn't work for you, then the unfortunate answer is that you need to practice your piloting, as it's only a skill issue at that point. It works exceedingly well for being a feature that exists within Star Citizen, and I'm no Hybrid V Audio, landing expert.
The torpedo operator will be more controversial of a topic as time passes, I'm sure. It being primarily in the torpedo room makes a lot of gameplay sense, so that the operator can load as well as fire if you're running a thin crew. It also makes gameplay sense from a balance standpoint to make it harder for the pilot to ghost ride and go fire torpedoes. It does not make narrative or Cool Factor sense, which CIG cares about almost over anything else, so we'll see if it gets updates. I don't care either way since I don't want to use it in combat most of the time, I want to use it as a substitute for the Liberator and I have never fired one of its torpedoes.
The docking mechanic is so cool. Looking forward to that becoming more reliable in the future.
Game need a ship designed to carry breaching pods and like 25 people or so.
my gripe with bigger ships (100m and more) is that once all sorts of systems will come in you won't be able to use them anymore as a solo player simply because there is no crew AI and you won't be able to make the funds necessary to even maintain the ship, basic refueling alone will cost fortunes and when you can't simply destroy and reclaim the ship anymore it will be ugly.
and i blame CIG because they supported the notion that yes indeed big ships will be viable for solo players because they will have ai systems in place that manage the whole maintenance work.
now those people who bought big ships (and i think the majority who bought these ships planned to be the only real player in them) are fucked. Imagine spending thousands in ships only to end up with not affording to take them out of the hangar and instead just grind with your 30-40m starter.
its not yet a major issue because everyone still can rp with their big ships since you dont have to run around them and do stuff to maintain them. But once all this stuff comes in, shit will hit the fan.
Not being able to put the cap into an orbit and do a mission with a smaller craft from the hangar is a huge missed opportunity. I don't need Kerbal level of fidelity but just basic orbits would be so damn awesome to have.
Way too expensive to repair! You can’t justify the risk for minimum rewards and insane repairs
How much money do you think military ships make in real life? None. Infact they burn millions to keep them running. They are meant to kill things, not make a profit.
That why it not a solo ship XD.
I just hope this means CIG isn't afraid to make the kraken now. THAT ship will fulfill MANY "G.I. Joe" carrier base roleplay fantasies out there from the players! 😁
I think they first gonna bring the smaller ones like perseus etc next to polaris. I think Idris and Kraken both will come at SQ 42 release maybe?
I like your dream but SC sadly is many years off an environment ready for Polaris sized ships
Uh, you know the Polaris is ingame, right? Like the game is clearly ready now. People can fly it and everything, right now. How isn't the game ready yet?
@@nuclearsimian3281 Same argument I see in the rest of this comment section.
The Polaris may be ready but a lot of the functions necessary to support it aren't. Mission payouts are still too low to fund the thing. AI Crew and blades aren't online. Ship armor isn't functional. Master Mode is borking everything. Engineering and repair aren't online. Outside of organized PvP, there aren't any fleet actions to take part in.
The Polaris may be flight ready but a lot of the mechanics that make it more than an org ship aren't here and CIG has been dragging their feet on a lot of those.
@@graveyardshift6691 "org ship" in a 12 year old game (alpha tech test) without any in house features to support "org play" We all want this goliath of a space dream to be a reality but some of these ppl are huffing too much copium. 12 years ppl. 12 F-ing years and we still cant use elevators or ANY of the most basic features without encountering severe issues. The gameplay loop is and has always been "How to work around everything wrong to achieve the thing." If SC looked like ass it wouldn't have this support because its broken. Its that banger of a hostile GF. The sex is amazing but outside of that its hell on Earth. But were supposed to not worry because eventually, one day, we cant lock down when exactly, but one day, she'll get the help she needs and the relationship will be great.
Can you actually log back onto it though?
Only if it's yours right now :(
Not if you have other ships in the hangar, unfortunately
The awkward moment when CIG has to create content to fuel the whales buying this giant, but they have a panic attack because normal player can also actually earn some money off these missions.
I think they've been thinking about it long enough to not be surprised by how it works!
Okay we get it it's like the 16th time I've seen a video about the capital class ship for those of you who are not in a clan group or org, having the ship or even owning the ship is a literal nightmare because you cannot maintain it as one person am I so I guess I'll just be waiting until the next couple of patches where they release ships that are either one man two-man crew or Four Man Crew ships
I'm still waiting on the whole update for the origin series start when they add their home system which is Terra
How the heck did you get an APC in Helldivers 2??
If i own a Polaris and join an org can i let the org have access to my ship??
you forgot to mention the ship is £816 in real money.
with the polaris showing that capital ships are viable there should be no reason to release the idris into player hands since it is already in the verse
Almost. They have been working up in ship scale. Now they first must populate this level of ships with more ships, more content, etc before they can move to the idris. As currently, there is not really a reason for the Polaris to be here. Which is understandable because it's the first ship in this class. So now the content around this class of ship must be implemented before we go even bigger.
I wish SC would show more love to solo players. It's easy to be lazy and have PvP be a main focus because then you don't have to work that hard to create actual long-lasting content. But man, show love to solo players who want to fly a Carrack or 600i by themselves.
Except there is no capital ship combat for pvp. O enemy players brought a fully manned polaris(8 players). Send 2 fighters in to ram. 2 fighters lost to kill 1 polaris.
Buuuut, the big capital ships was not meant to be generally available to civilians..
I like many things about it but as an owner of one I was a bit disappointed. I recognize the fact the military ship but I even brought up on infomerunners that there are certain details like the medical bay that just don't feel right to me. They disagreed because they Said it feels like a medical bay on a military ship. I disagree, but the reason I even brought it up is because walking around the ship I would not have known it was not just another room. It literally looks like a copy of the brig. How about at least writing medical or infirmary on the door so that you can tell that's what it is instead of needing to use a mini map. New players or guests on your ship are not going to know that's what it is and considering CIG wants us to be able to walk around without armor on we are not going to have a mini map available always. I'm just giving critical thoughts and I don't know why it always rubs everyone the wrong way to hear something negative about a thing they love, but I want the entire game to be better. There are many other things about the Polaris that I know will get fixed, but that seems to just be something they carelessly made boring. Like it's not important. I was more excited walking through my starlancer for the first time because it felt like a lot of heart went into that ship while the Polaris feels really good to a point and like they rushed it at the end.
CIG said they released the Polaris unfinished and still have many final touches to do on the interior.
@BaneSIlvermoon I didn't see that. Only that the Captain's quarter wasn't finished. Seems unnecessary to release it unfinished, but cool.
How do you access RSI IAE???
it doesn’t take away that there generally is nothing to do, it’s a pretty tech demo, but very boring, very poorly written code, horrible in gameplay
"This is so gamechanging!"
Meanwhile 2-3 rams from a light fighter kills it.
lol
Is it another inflexion point? Because I'm already disappointed by those.
Yeah, a shift to where you better find a group or you're going to be shit out of luck for most combat loops involving combat.
Would be nice if it was easier to dock
It's pretty easy. Just go 3rd person and scoot up then hold N for auto-dock. CIG can't design a UI to save their lives, so doing it in 1st person is a no-go.
@@jasonfrost5025what? First person docking is amazing! It's just unfortunately buggy as shit currently and doesn't always recognize the port in the correct location of the ship. But when that happens, third person docking doesn't work either.
I'm not a Star Citizen player (don't have a gaming PC that will run it), but I'm curious, could you run like a bounty hunting group or a mercenary group as a group of players on one of these capital ships?
If it's not a thing, please don't come at me, I'm just starting to watch stuff on Star Citizen.
Not in it's current state. But in the very long term, the answer to that will probably be yes. Especially with something like a Kraken carrier ship. The Polaris is only going to be able to dock one decent fighter, or a couple very small light fighters. So by itself, the Polaris will be more of a single unit. Not something you could launch a group of players from.
@BaneSIlvermoon I'm already thinking of scenarios where this could be applied.
Scenario 1 (mercenary group): A cargo freighter is hauling some VERY valuable cargo for a high-profile client. Said client hires your merc group to protect the freighter from pirates. You have to jump into the system with a Kraken loaded with fighters and another capital ship with heavy weapons (Idris?) to protect the freighter.
Scenario 2 (bounty hunting group): A notorious gang has overrun a sector, and local authorities don't have the man power to defend. Your bounty hunting group gets hired to come arrest or eliminate the criminals.
As any capital ship, it's slow, sluggish, expensive, with huge claim timer, takes 3 mins to get to cockpit, and will be impossible to maintain without a crew when they add engineering.
So yeah, good ship if you play in a large group and do some global sh-t, very unpractical if you play solo for fun.
Im keeping the polaris until perceus comes, the ship is nice but way too big for me
Yeah, the single player is screwed. No single player no money for the game
That streamer I mentioned in a previous comment played with Berks yesterday. I think he’s now hooked. At one point he apologized for throwing shade at SC without trying it. I’m going to try and send more of your content to him because I think you do a really good job of explaining SC while keeping the copium/hopium to a minimum. Much love man and thank you for producing such great videos
CIG has said multiple times that it will always be possible to play the game solo but that's not the intent. They want you to play as a group and I think if they inspire group play by making it better and not by making single play worse than it needs to be we can have a great game.
@@Furnace2552-cz8iy Yup, this close to the right statement. Star Citizen through out the years has always promoted whether you’re playing Solo, Duo, Quads or other Multi-Crews+, every aspect would and could be an exciting thing in their own way. Just cause the game is a Multiplayer, doesn’t mean it has to be all the time, there has to be a balance for all aspects, because quite frankly you’re not going to be solo all the time and you’re not going to be with Multiple people all the time. People have lives. It’s all of us doing our own things, in a Persistent Universe that is affected by our actions and done in that bubble.
As cool as it is to introduce big, beefcake capital ships... Unfortunately it just adds to more of the glitches, bugs and just, down right pathetic issues SC developers have introduced.
I really wish they would just STOP with the darn ships and focus on the bugs, glitches and issues plagued throughout SC.
It is amazing what SC developers have done but it outweighs the bugs and glitches and (what I've always seen come from them thus far) cash grab ship production while falling back on features and fixes they have "promised" but backed away from.
I really want this game to succeed, but with them focused on 2 games... It's very hard to understand what it is they're focused on in the development.
Great video Space Tomato! When can I be an alien?
1:52
i'm sorry, a fucking what? that's not in the game yet!
You need to be able to fly it solo and be effective, otherwise it’s just for the 1% that play with others
If you like days or rust you should try scum some day. Pretty fun.
Polaris is currently a pointless ship with no content to make use of it, and no word on when if ever that content will come.
With how brain dead the AI is you can do most if not all bounties with an Avenger.
It almost completely replaces the Carrack for group play. I agree there isn't much out outside of events and large scale bounties to pose it any challenge, but for group gameplay it has a ton of point.
Means nothing until they fix small ships 1 shot ramming you. Legit this ship is currently useless. It’s all fun and good until 1 ship rams you
Tomato is the GOATED sc content creator
first things first, because it always buggs me: "Corvette-Class capital ship" Its either a corvette or a capital ship, not both. A corvette rielies on a fleet and/or close support scenario like coastal patrols and short range duties. A capital ship is able to do long(er) range operations on its own if necessary, while also have a distinct place in a larger fleet compliation. The Polaris fit, by design, the classification as a heavy destroyer - so yes, a smaller kind of capital ship!
Btw: Master Modes literally makes Capitals in combat unviable in the long run. They simply have not enough evasion potential and rely solely on PDCs atm... if capital-combat or general usability shall be a thing in the future, Master Modes simply needs to be removed, because its basically detremental to them.
Ahh yes Morph. The entitled creator back in the day who exploits server cap and his minions to block out an entire server to run JT freely then CRIES and goes unhinged to CIG to ban a random that managed to get into said server and attack them...1v49 smh.. Sorry i know hes a buddy of yours as a creator but that was ridiculous.
1.5 mil aUEC repair bill. Just repair...
No one said it will be cheap and such operating cost are good to make smaller vessels more viable.
Its almost like its for the people who run an org and have multiple revenue streams to support running a capship in combat, and do enough of that where they can afford it.
Or just have a warranty/insurance
Yeah thats why capital ships are meant for org use.
Too bad docking still doesn't work
Most of the gameplay wont be in game for multiple years 😢
