Dude this game is literally my dream game…
I’ve always loved space and wanted a game where you could literally fly around in space realistically and do missions. When I found out about star citizen I almost had a heart attack out of excitement
(also oli I'll happily take some of that aUEC ;) )
That’s how I felt in 2019 and had to build a pc just so I can run it lol
Totally worth it!
I was hesitant to join with all the negative stuff but darn am I glad i did. I used to dream of games like this also. Now if we ever get a full simulation vr game where you can fully immerse into the world I'll die happy lol
Why we are backers lol
There's a free fly week coming up this week I think?
Theres also elite dangerous which can run better on lower spec pcs
Hey Ollie, I've been a backer of the game since 2013. Your content reminds me of what it is like to be excited about a game. Additionally, you have single-handedly put in perspective this game's ability to awe. Thank you for simply being you. Hope to see you in the universe!
Thanks, thats really kind! Glad to hear the videos are still enjoyable to people who've been playing the game for as long as you have.
@@Olli43 same here I've had my eye on the game for a while now just got it a few days ago and so far I've loved it just a bit broke at the moment but still love the experience and the beauty of the game keep being awesome Olli.
@olli43 can you please send me like 30 mil ive been trying to grind for a ship and it would help me so much. in game usernames (WookieMen)
@@Olli43 I have been a backer since 2018, and fell out of love with it post Alpha 3.4 when a lot of the UI changed, and the constant server issues.
Thanks for putting some faith back in the progress of the Verse.
Can you imagine if Cobra TV and Ollie43 did a collab? Unless they have and I missed it lol like you said, they both remind me of what it's like to be excited for the game. Both of them are so good at savoring the moment and enjoying the experience with wonder.
9:38 ''Its like a dropship'' - The Carrack is a long-range reconnaissance Ship. Formerly only for the military.
Now also a civilian expedition ship.
But in combination with a Dragonfly 2 man sniper team, an Ursa rover with a marine strike team and a C8X aerial support craft it can work as a spec ops insertion dropship with the command bridge as a CiC.
@@niklasdahlgren7641 Of course you can also use it as a dropship. I only said what the official classification is. What exactly you do with it is another matter.
A tip for the carrack: double click the ramp button when you're outside and you'll have plenty of time to enter it before it closes
Good tip, thanks! o7
they removed that, you can't double click anymore.
Yep... removed it... Why? I have no f*cking clue. It's almost like they want to roll the red carpet out for stow aways and Pirates lol... At this point, we might as well bend over and spread because they really seem to focus on raising solo vulnerabilities and lowering security.
@@durtyred86 yeah that is pretty dumb. you would assume they would focus on all the bugs instead of a ship ramp button -_-
@@Olli43 o7?
"What's the difference between commanding the ship and piloting it?"
Kirk commands the ship, Chekov pilots it (helmsman)
How will that translate to gameplay in star citizen? Will the commander lock on targets and command the pilot to priotize them?
@@alispeed5095 I think it will be more of a role play feature
@@alispeed5095 The pilot station and commander station can both assign up to 3 priority targets for the gunners, using alt+1 alt+2 alt+3 and the gunner just need to press 1, 2 or 3 to switch to them, everyone can use internal ship VoIP comms, so as long as the crew listens to the commander...
Atm basically commander mode lite
Probably more feature on this planned later on, but stuff like flak turret/new weapons... so much other stuff to add yet
@@Ospray3151 Interesting. Ty
@@alispeed5095
I'm thinking the Commander is probably going to be a ship owner and/or highest ranking org member on the ship. He will be responsible for selecting destinations on the star map, giving pilots order on how to approach. where to land (etc). If the ship is engaged by an enemy he might be the one who take a look to see what type of fleet you are up against and makes the call on whether you should engage the attackers or flip the quantum drive and get the fudge out of there.
In some smalll or medium sized orgs I can imagine a large ship like a Carrack acrting as the flagship of the fleet and central command center - in his case the org leader may be the Commander of that flagship, and that might act as the base of operations from which he/she selects missions, coordinates the fleet, etc. In larger orgs I would expect those flagships will more then likely be larger ships like an Idris or a Javelin.
Basically I see the commander as the eyes, ears and brains of the ship.
The Carrack is one of the few ships that I actually enjoy spending time inside too. It has a liveable vibe, a realism to the design that seems appropriate for an exploration crew. Functional above luxury is realism to me where space is concerned. Not to say the 890J isn't amazing, but for exploring the vast Pyro system and beyond later this year, I'll take a full crew in a Carrack any day.
The Caterpillar is actually my favourite ship in Star Citizen. Heavy industrial Drake, a pure cargo hauler. It needs updating to bring it up to new ship standards, but once physical cargo refactoring arrives and things like the modular sections and tractor beam come online, it's going to be the King of Cargo again. Flies like it looks.
The Hammerhead similarly is overdue a major interior refresh to bring it up to the gold standard that new ships are being produced to.
hey i'm a new player and i have a question, how you have done so much credits? And how long it took?
@@gornidavide1828 For me it was mining over a fairly lengthy period (couple of months). So it took time but was enjoyable.
The carrack turrets are monsters. They have great overlap and make short work of most pirates. It's got good cargo cap and it's fast and maneuverable for its size. It's an awesome little capital ship for doing loads of stuff. Plus it's got a bespoke Pisces shuttle. Which is surprisingly tough and nimble... an awesome jack of all trades that handles most stuff reasonably well. Also it's got a med bay AND will have drones.
But the hammerhead beats it for battle stuff.
I've done a few missions with friends that fly hammerhead. And yeah the ship is slow. But it's missile complement is HUGE. And it's turrets shred everything around it. It's imo the best combat mission boat in game atm.
We had enough people so decided to fully man a Carcack during xenothreat just for laughs. We were surprised just how capable it was, and were melting fighters with ease. It's not Hammerhead, Relatiator or A2 class, but it probably comes next in line.
@@BigJohnno66 I'm curious to see whether the deployable armoured cockpit shield will boost it's armour in the future or if it's purely for cosmetics/environmental hazards. Also the Pisces isn't a bad little snub
Don't forget a built in fuel scoop, repair bay, star map and the ability to swap it's cargo pods for various modules and deploy them like FOB's.
To deal with the elevator bug, stay on the elevator and wait for the ship to finish it's jump (you'll know as the marker for it will update), then press the button to go to another floor. It will fix everything and you'll be back inside.
There is so much packed into the Carrack. I've had one for about a year and I still re-discover things I have forgotten about. The vehicle bay is separate to the cargo pods, so you can have vehicles on-board and not lose any SCU. One day you will be able to spawn more than 3 ships, so the Carrack can then store several ground vehicles in addition to the Pisces. A friend of mine wandered out on the landing pad during QT travel and using F4 I could see him walking around on the top of the ship. It's fine so long as you stay inside the area with gravity.
seeing you blindly explore ships (then look stuff up as you go along) is a great format. would love to see more
With your new found wealth, you should do events like hoverbike racing on the Microtech River for 10mil UEC or soemthing like that!
19:55 is a futuristic version of a spooky scary story. The Haunted Turbolift. They say that in a Carrack class exploration ship, just like this, a young ensign was rushing to his shift. His friends saw him get on the Turbolift but no one ever saw him get off. They say he found a button on the control panel that took him to an alternate dimension between decks, and if you listen very closely while riding the lift, you can still here him screaming
The standing control station is referred to as a flying bridge its a secondary bridge often seen on super yachts usually on the top exterior deck or on the rear of some sailboats
The main reason it's so popular is because it's like your classic hero ship without being unmanageably big. Basically enough space for your friends, and the ability to be largely self sufficient and defend it's self since it's built for military exploration.
It can do a little bit of everything, from moderate combat to exploration. It has a med bay for a respawn point and healing on extended missions, a repair bay for light maintenance, a drone bay, an armoury, decent cargo capacity that can double as deployable pods, a fuel scoop to keep it topped up (does actually work in game), a hangar for the Pisces which is one of the best snub ships and a great little drop ship, a lower hangar for ground vehicles and a map room. It can even deploy an armour layer over it's cockpit (not in game yet). It's hard not to draw comparisons to ships like the Normandy and enterprise.
The Anvil Carrack is easily one of my favorite ships. HOWEVER! The hammerhead reminds me of a Star Wars ship, and for that I MUST have it!
Theyre both really cool. Like I just want to spend time in them lol.
@@Olli43 couldn’t agree more
hammerhead is an old republic ship pretty much. carrack is if a tie fighter and a star destroyer had a baby.
@@namekman01 that is why I love the hammerhead. Old republic is my favorite era!
And the new Upcoming Scorpius will remind you the X wing
Love the carrack. It’s great for taking smaller ground vehicles to bunkers or to go out mining. It has the medical bed too so that you can respawn there if you die in a bunker for example.
If you can I would love to see you take a look at the mercury star runner. It’s a super cool ship with a number of secret rooms and features
There isn't a better ship than a Carrack for overall ability IMHO. When everything is done, it will do exploration, you can store yourself on the ship so if you die, the ship is your respawn point,(good bunker mission base ship) it has a vehicle bay, a hangar, drone control room, workshop for gear repair/modification, it can handle cargo missions, etc, etc. The cargo pods will be modular so you can sacrifice cargo space for science rooms, etc. It is the best ship so far.
Carrack is a great ship for bunker missions. revive in the med bay if you die. plus you can carry a ground vehicle and snub ship. its designed to pair with the C8/C8X Pisces.
First of all, Olli, I‘m super excited that you‘re loving this game so much and that you‘ve discovered it for yourself.
This game needs more good press!
Just wanted to say this: I have been playing every patch since 2019 and never have I gotten close to earning enough aUEC to get myself my beloved 890J - I‘m now at 13Mil and the grind is hard. You deserve all the monies people give you but I feel betrayed 😅
… I‘m out here sweating to get that 890 and you could buy like 10 of them lol
Nice first impression of those two ships! The Carrack is one of the communities favorite - we say: Carrack is home. Like it says in the Carrack trailer from CIG :D
Keep it coming!
- Antonio
Carack is explorers ship and can carry the space taxi inside it,it is a cool ship but I'm on the same page with you I don't like it a lot but I don't like the 890 as well,and the Hammerhead is a military escort fighting ship!
They took a lot of inspiration from ships of the Alien franchise for the Carrack. Compare the bridge blister front with the Prometheus for example. The central med bay with windows and corridors on its sides like in the Nostromo.
agreed. i expect an alien to bust out of someone's chest every time I go into the dining room in a Carrack.
@@therealgroovymoses I like the Carrack but it's giving me spooky vibes being inside it with all these gloomy bg atmo sounds.
I think its fine to use design/aesthetics like that but when they go and basically copy-paste the Venture from EVE online and call it the Vulture I think its a bit too much. If there is one thing that is hard to find things to complain about its the SC ship design so I am a little confused why they did that, surely someone could have made some changes to the design.
It's got some mass effect Normandy in there too, with the cartography room, escape pod corridor, elevator and general aesthetics.
Carrack's are awesome if you have a crew, you can do missions and bounties quite well.... particularly useful for FPS missions too especially since it can allow more people respawn in the med bay than the 890j due to the more beds... the Hammerhead is a beast, but while you can solo it, it truly comes into its own with a crew.... pity though it doesn't have weapons lockers yet
Upper Bridge command controls is same as Lower Bridge's pilot station, the good thing is that the top station can be a life saver when the pilot seat is bugged or no longer working properly
29:40 what a great shot, complete with a view Stanton's light reflecting off Everus Harbor in between the cloud at the top and slightly left. SC is just nuts when it's works.
I enjoy that initial feeling of being lost where you're discovering parts of a ship. It makes the whole experience that much better.
Oh wow, I haven't seen the Carrack elevator bug in YEARS! Glad the oldie goldies are still sticking around. :D
I literally read this comment as it happened that's erie
What I love about the carrack is that it's so unassuming...thing's got a S1 landing pad, multiple weapons stations, an on-board T1 medical facility, a garage that can fit two TMBL Cyclones comfortably. It's so unassuming until you know and when you know, you know.
Olli, UNLESS you plan on engaging with team play and Multi-Crew, owning and flying ships like the Carrack, the Hammerhead, the Mole, which are designed for this type of game play specifically....is best left to Orgs and Clans. Even ships like the Drake Caterpillar, the Drake Cutlass, and a lot of the MISC ships facilitate team play - Co Op play specifically, are worth the effort to own as long as you grasp the fact that in solo play they would not be optimal in use.
Mostly true, but in the case of the carrack it's like a staging area. You have a med bay you can set as your spawn point, an armoury, and can use the Pisces and ground vehicles to do a lot of the leg work, returning to the carrack to store goods since it's much tankier and for the long jumps around the system.
Side note, a dead in space hammerhead with low and faulty lighting would make a nice setting for a infected crew mission where you go to inspect and have to fight your way out!
I think with some of these new ships, you should gather some of the viewers and fully man some of these and do some bounties or other missions.
I just love how happy you are about star citizen and how much joy it brings you! I feel the exact same way about the game, love your content man!
Oh my God...the Carrack is an awesome ship. Probably one of the best and most versatile multicrew ships in the game. But is designed for a crew. The best turrets in the game, a medical bay where you can heal up, you can spawn point in this ship. It also has an amazing hanger that can hold pretty nice size ships. Definitely need a crew again.
The ship once was much bigger, on par with the 890 Jump. But someone decided it was too big, walking places was a drag, so the ship has the dubious distinction of being the only SC ship to get smaller during development.
Then the 890 Jump's size was announced and Carrack owners were PISSED.
Before 3.14 brought in limited ballistics, we would spend a mill just on Revenant Gatling guns to equip our Hammerheads with. However these days leaving the default Rhinos is best. Although still costs a mill to put in A grade military components.
The Carrack is such a good ship, the cargo bays will become modular in future updates so you can customise them for different uses like armoury or vehicle storage. Use the med bay to set your spawn for the ship as well. For the the size of the ship it is very multi roll.
The C8 PISCES is used for the ship landing pad too. Have fun!!!!
Not to mention you will be able to deploy them to set up a little FOB.
There’s a “plain” looking Carrack, and a Carrack Expedition. The Carrack Expedition is a small aUEC upgrade over the “plain” Carrack, and has an enhanced looking skin, and includes the Pisces Expedition. It looks like you may have bought the “plain” Carrack?
If you buy it in game, you must buy the pices separately
@@TheRedPandalorian thanks. I have bought most of my “stuff” with real dineros, so I have missed many of those kinds of nuances. It seems that every time I start building up a treasure chest of aUEC the game figures out a way to take it from me.😊
@@bobbya8622 Hahaha! I've only started to get back into it, trying to grind them AUEC, need them millions haha
Ironically enough I think I actually prefer the look or the regular Carrack over the Expedition. Being a very tough, industrial military ship I feel like the default skin kinda just fits the purpose of the ship and makes it a bit more immersive. I'm not sure the white skin really suits it.
That being said I still have the Expedition myself, as I wanted the upgraded Pisces with the extra guns haha
the carrack is easily one of my favorite ships hopefully I can save up for it in the future!
it's really awesome, way better than I thought!
I feel like the carrack is amazing for a crew of 5 for exploration or to base out of when doing ground combat missions, even ship to ship PVE. The med bay is a huge plus and also the ability to carry some useful vehicles like a rover, a few bikes/ g2s or cyclones.
I have one but I have no crew to use it with and it's WAY too big for a solo player to fully utilize it
I'll be happy to be your gunner on any of those ships (when i get the hardware to actually run the game, and a ship to enter).
When his ship disappeared at 20:04 that had me in bits laughing 😂🤣🤣
Really need a crew to get the action play with Carrack and HH. The Carrack with Pieses and Ursa is excellent for high level FPS missions, fully crewed kill turrets or Ursa to site, clean out bunker load loot! Be sure to set spawn to Carrack med bed before U roll out. HH is cool fully crewed for ERT bounty, but the med bad & vehicles transported with Carrack is King! Watch Morphologist Carrack review, Chef's Kiss.
The carrack is one of my favorite ships and I’m glad you got around to look at it.
Olli43 I have great fun watching you play and explore the game. I laugh right along with you when you die, crash and so on. The things you do exploring and seeing what your limits are is something I think I will do. I just started a couple of months ago and have a lot to learn. My biggest thing right now is accepting contracts and picking up items is no big deal. But I always seem to crash trying to deliver the stuff. I usually get mad and stop playing, but you keep going which I love. Keep the videos coming!
Uh.. you can actually go outside of the cartography deck during QT, it's as safe as it gets. Just don't go passed the hangar doors, or you will get sucked into space lol I do it all the time. There's gravity in the top of the hangar doors, so you can park another ship with a low center of gravity or even a bloody tank to use as a 5th turret xD
Another Carrack tip: set your spawn point aboard the Carrack in the medbay just in case, you know, the "Technical Deck" button on the elevator actually takes you into space. xD Great vid!
Your command deck works to gain control of weapons or taking control of the ship (Normally where commanders are), whilst pilots do the main flying, docking, etc
14:11 Star Trek, style Captain's Quarters, you say?
Zoom in on the wine bottles
Hi Ollie, fellow Carrack owner here and new subscriber. Love this ship, it's perfect for the game. 👍 Keep up the great vids
It's funny how different the experience with other players can be in just one day. Some nice guy gave me 500k this morning for no reason and earlier this evening I picked someone up who claimed they lost their ship only to blow me up...not sure I'm actually physically gonna help someone ever again.
I'm so glad CIG increased the hangar times. It was immediately apparently people were floored by their own ships and spent a lot of time looked at them in game. The hangar is one thing.... well, they quickly changed that. Thirty seconds is way too short for something like this....
I was of the same mindset about the Carrack. But it has grown to be one of my fave pixel ships. I love the vids. Good to see excitement and not just regurgitating SC info ! Keep fighting the fun fight !
Absolute best thing about the carrack is the landing lights. 10/10
just recently got back into the game, I really want some new ships in game lol but I'm learning the ropes again on the best way to grind aUEC so far looks like VHRT bounties, hoping that cargo refactor makes cargo hauling more in depth and worth it
Anvil is hands down the best manufacturer in the game. They have such a diverse line of ships that look and play incredible
In Star Trek terms, the ensign would be more like the pilot. They do the driving while the captain or commander oversees the operation of the ship. :)
That big deck in the middle is for the Pisces shuttle. Looks really cool sitting in there as well.
Carrack is my baby, the 890 is nice and flashy but the Carrack has so much more to offer, especially when we have more than one system
Been playing since 2019 just got back into game after trying to replace GPU for past half year trying to get back to where I was with 3 ships, I love the Carrack never owned one but flown around with some people who do including once during the Xeno threat event it was so damn fun with it fully crewed. Anyways if you want to help a fellow Star Citizen send 5 mil or so to Hunterzen haha. 😄
I like the carrack over the 890 for the visibility and general utility, also it’s way easier to navigate through
The Hammerhead reminds me of times I was on naval vessels, and the Carrack makes me feel like I was able to be in the Earth Video game called Mass Effect, released in the early 21st century. :P.
I love the layout and practicality of the Carrack.
The Carrack, is my 890, lol. An ad for with the 890, got me into the game a couple years back...and then fell in love with the Carrack, my home amongst the verse.😁
It's cool that people like different ships. I'm a big Origin fan myself, but don't feel the 890j at all. Used to not like the Carrack, but now it's next to the Reclaimer on my best girl ship list
Hey Ollie. That command seat is a second station to fly from. I did that while my buddy was getting cargo so when he got back, he could hop in the pilot seat and go.
The Interior of the Hammerhead could be a Klingon ship
(the old school ones of course)
Always loved the Carrack. Wish the rear elevator went all the way outside the ship though. Combined with the Pisces it's a great combo. Not as big of a fan of the HammerHead. Just has horrible visibility from the bridge.
You're welcome to send a few mill to me for my 'buy a carrack' fund. :)
Keep up the great vids!
Either that or a small elevator at the back by the rear turret. It could really do with a second foot only way out near the armoury.
Hey mate, I'm a huge fan of the carrack, to be honest carrack over 890 any day for me lol. I'd love to show you the capabilities of the carrack. I run the careack solo and even solo I don't have issues.
What you saw are a drone hangar (you can use snub fighters, an x125, the cx8 or p72 merlin, I think the CO troop and cargo transports might fit too idk I don't care much about those lol, the buccaneer will fit if you bring it on rotated 45 degrees on yaw axis). And what you saw are the drone operator rooms and the engineering/3d printing room in the technical floor.
PS don't use elevators in ANY ship while in QT LOL
Doc-09 in the verse. Cheers m8
The carrack represents so many different gameplay options, that’s why it tends to be a fan fave over the 890J. The latter is more a party ship. I would take the carrack any day, function over form for me.
All the times I’ve been to New Deal and I’ve never looked at the ceiling. Even having played the SC for a few years there’s just so much detail you can easily miss. I think I need to stop running everywhere! 😄
in the hammerhead, when your not the pilot. there are so many hallways that it’s like a maze
I just won a polaris package from an awesome streamer, I've been playing with the hammerhead and absolutely love it. May end up buying one when I don't have the loaner anymore. Only issue I can't get into it on port tressler lol the door wont open. Had to fly out Eva to get in. It's amazing to have a fully crewed hh. Enemy's have a habit of going poof quickly
I'd love to see movie ships in this game like the Millennium Falcon, Tie Fighter, X-wing and Firefly 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
Copyright matters prevent that, but you get into that spirit anyway, in these ships, especially with friends. The Carrack, and the Mercury Star Runner, with its hidden cargo compartments it has been called the Millennium Falcon of SC. Clearly influenced by that vessel. And the monstrous Reclaimer was influenced by Alien's Nostromo.
I understand the copyright matters already just saying it would be great to actually see them in game. Also I didn't know that so that's cool thanks
I love my carrack. It feels like home. But it rolls like a fighter with the mass of the Chrysler building
I'm not sure about the hammer head, but the carrack doesn't have any pilot controlled weapons, so you will need to ride with a crew if you are thinking combat missions. Additionally, he carrack's medical bed can be used as a revival point if you register on it before dieing
True, HH has missiles only
He missed the entire crew quarters and lower engineering on the carrack
i read the other day that the hammerhead was designed by the guy who designed the ships from the original alien movie
I have a Carrack. I just wish I could shoot guns from the pilot seat. It really kinda ruins it for me that you can't. I've used Hammerheads in our org. I bought a Carrack way back in like 2016. You can control the ship from either deck. Also that other top place is where you can land a ship inside...
Hopefully eventually you'll be able to slave turrets to pilot controls.
Carrack is a really cool looking ship, has a very Star Wars-y feel to it
As a Carrack owner I can tell you the main problem with this ship is over half of the intended features are not in the game yet. Like the Drone Room, the Cartography Room and the Work Bench Room are just window dressing at this point. Also the Modular parts are just Cargo Bays at this point as well. It's a great ship still but will be even better once these missing game loops are added.
As for the Hammerhead it's also a great ship that I personally just have no use for. Not that I don't like it I just don't need a 7 player ship... It's hard enough just to fully man the Carrack in the current version of the game. Once Server Meshing is in place I may change my mind however as crewing a big ship should get considerably easier as there will be a lot more than 50 players to answer the call.
I own both of these ships and they are both really fun to use.
As a star wars fan i almost feel ashamed that i never picked up the tie fighter vibes from the carrack
If you like the submarine part of the interior, then you should definitely try out the Retaliator, it's basically a submarine in space and i love it!
Carrack kind of gives vibe of mix of tie fighter and star destroyer from outside and sr2 normandy from mass effect from the inside
I’d love to play this game but don’t even have a gaming pc YET. But if I had those kind of funds id do give aways and give away ships (if that’s possible in the game) or give aways credits to winners of competitions
The Carrack is much fancier, but it reminds of Serenity from Firefly
Carrack is the best ship in the verse. If you find a new guy, put him in a fully crewed hammerhead turret and he'll have wood for a week.
Yeah the Carrack is one of the best gold Standard Ship CIG made so far. You should also try to see the Retaliator, another gold standard ship.
20:30 got me cracked up :D
I would LOVE a Carrack, but it's gonna be a LONG time before I can afford one. But after seeing this video. Ok I gotta have one. The grind is real.
midway through video, i believe only the carrack and the 890j have tier 1 hospital beds where you can set your regen point to the ship itself in case you die on foot. havnt done it myself before tho
T2 beds are the ones you can respawn at.
Cutty Red did have that ability, but lost it.
600i will get it.
300 million aUEC… that’s literally enough to buy one of every single ship in the game so you probably won’t find use for the invictus halls aside from trying out ships that are not purchasable yet.
Also congrats on 1042 referrals. Your over halfway to that Javelin class destroyer (which you will be able to have a sneak peek of its interior during Invictus starting THIS WEEK on the 20th)
My son has the Carrack and it is an excellent ship! When crewed is can put the hurt on, med bed, hanger...all good things
I have been in both a hammerhead and a carrack, I used to have both but I melted both . Had more fun in the hammerhead with friends but honestly the carrack is one of the best designed ships in the game is way cooler than the jump in my opinion . After I melted both I turned them into a perseus and Polaris which I feel happy about.
Think about what you need to see in a space ship.. probably need to see well when landing. In space, up is meaningless.. any direction can be up. So if you have to pick a side, down is probably the best to get visibility for the ground.. the one area you'd need to uniquely be able to see.
The Carrack is a deceivingly big ship, pictures make it look like the size of the C2 but it's much bigger and everything is compact and easy to get too.
At one point they where going to make it around 40% bigger, but scaled it back down closer to it's concept. Although it would have been cool to see one with a full size hangar and capital class components, it's probably a good thing overall as it makes it cheaper and easier to run, plus more versatile. Plus it got them to change the Pisces from what was going to be basically a ride on drone, to the awesome little ship it is now.
The drone area you thought was actually the hanger room and the one with a box looking object was the actual drone room. XD Oh also the medical area you saw when you mentioned experiments? The room with the plants is actually the science/research career I believe for the future. Since this is an explanation vessel. Also in order to open the hanger there is a console on the other side of the window you were at.
The hammerhead's cockpit probably faces down and has no pilot-bound weapons because it isn't meant to move around much in combat, I guess? I assume they're trying to reinforce the idea that the pilot just has to make sure they don't crash (hence the down-facing cockpit) while the gunners really just take care of anything unfortunate enough to be in their field of view.
To me the Hammerhead is like a ground warfare ship much the same way as Apaches and C130 gunships provides for troops.
that is very decidedly not the hammerhead's intended role. The hammerhead is essentially a flak barge, think like the atlanta class light cruiser, or in more modern times, an aegis cruiser (but with a large gun complement). The ground warfare aspect is fulfilled by the A2 far better then the hammerhead - considering the latter does NOT like to play nice in atmosphere.
One of the best parts of the Carrack is the ability to set your spawn in the medbay
Damn, great video. I'll gladly take some of those credits off your hand! You could buy us all a new ship
