Hey man just wanted to let you know some of the ships that also feature the life-pod bed from the top of my head would be the Constellation, Freelancer, and Aegis Vanguards. There's many more but the feature is just not into play yet so it goes unnoticed.
Sweet man thanks for that info, i’ll keep it in mind for future videos, I hope more people see your comment, i’ll try to pin it 😁👍 and thanks for the comment !
The true highlight of this Q&A was in fact the ability to hold cell pods on your cargo grid...Dude...that is BIG. That literally turns any ship with decent guns and at least a 16 scu grid into a bounty hunting vessel. Sure, the lack of EMP's and QT dampening will definitely draw the fight out seeing how they want longer fights already, it's a win man!! This us huge news and as far as I know, their first time actually bringing the topic up.
You're right, I also haven't heard that piece before, and they just casually dropped it in a Q&A 😂 mind blowing actually ! Thanks for the comment man !
Pretty sure that shields will help for environmental protection (solar flares, radiation, etc) and you will need to be in SCM to scan. So the ES will often be out of NavMode.
I hope that's the case, I can imagine terrible planetary weather ruining a couple peoples days, if they don't have shields enabled 😂 I'd love to find out more about the master modes, I hope they give us some more info on that soon, I have a lot of questions about it! Thanks for the comment man!
Has anyone said anything about RSI and Crusader switching naming conventions? RSI ships used to be named after constellations or astral phenomena and Crusader ships after Greco-Roman gods... Why Spirit now? Genesis I'll accept because it's old. But then RSI comes up with Apollo and Zeus?? I see a lorefriendly lawsuit incoming.
@@bmoura True! I made a spectrum post and got some interesting answers. Apparently Crusader Spirit was chosen just because, and the outliers in RSI's naming are the Mantis and the Apollo, which are neither old nor celestial bodies or phenomena. It's also weird the Spirit doesn't have a Star-something name either.
I specifically avoided the Cutlass Blue because of the silly lights. The Zeus Mk II MR is more like the Batmobile than a police cruiser... just look at that Solstice paint.
Dude Yes, I couldn't agree more, glad to see another person share the same opinion, the police lights just personally don't do it for me. I always think imagine BOBA fett showed up with flashing lights when he was hunting a target, I mean what the hell 😂
In addition to my personal preference, I wouldn’t think that the Zeus MR would need police lights in-universe. The Cutlass Blue needs them because it’s been penned as a city-prowling police cruiser of sorts. The Zeus MR is (as far as we can tell) more a system-spanning anti-piracy ship, meant for long missions. It wouldn’t need police lights because there’s nobody that needs to get out of the way or be warned - I’d argue it would just make things worse.
For a futuristic game I don't see why we don't have automated fire suppression systems on board. As well as automated defensive mimi guns to shoot down incoming missles. These things exist now.
I believe point defence system are actually planned to be in the game, if i’m not mistaken. CIG has spoken about these concepts a couple times in the past, they feel that they could add them but then they’d lose the “game” aspect, they want people to have things to do while playing the game, and having most of the in game systems automated would mean that players would have a lot more down time. They want star citizen to be a game you play with friends and random players you meet along the way, interaction is important to them. But don’t forget, there’s AI planned for the game, you’d be able to hire crew to help you manage your ship and the AI could help to keep up with many of these tasks on board your ship. I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, CIG wants the game to be fun. But realism and a “fun” game has always been been a balance that they’re mindful of of 👍 Thanks for the comment
I hope they eventually add the ability to add colored to most ships. I would love amber lights on my SRV and police lights on any ship I'm bounty hunting in. Could be super fun for orgs as well.
There's definitely, going to be a battle fought on this exact topic that you brought up now. Because there's dedicated fans on both sides, I've noticed online some people hate the idea of having ships with like rainbows and stuff on them, and others think, "why limit the players creativity?" I think there's a argument to be made on both sides. Personally i'm more leaning to the side of keeping all the cosmetics tamed and subdued, but that's always been in my nature really, I'm so scared the game becomes too mainstream and we have a GTA style of "everything has to be loud and flamboyant". Like always though, as the saying goes "If you try to please everyone, you'll end up pleasing no one" I'm interested in what CIG will do in the future on this. Thanks for the interesting comment man!
@@faintanomaly It would be nice if the red/blue lights were discreet when off and they weren't tied to the headlights, but could be turned on/off separate from the headlights. I also like your idea of making them a flair item or maybe change the "paints" ship modification section to "exterior" with the option for paint job and other features under it.
I just can't wrap my head around why the essentials needs an extra shield to begin with. that seems like something the combat variant would have. the benefit of the essentials is the cheaper price because it's the base model.
These ships are going to be great little group/org ships, ship roles and duties are being rebalanced along with engineering, fire management, master modes and combat and security. As an mmo, its shaping up nicely
Most of the Q&A was about the bounty ship, not too much was really said about the other variants. I do agree on having a more detailed info separately.
Yah, I mean they basically launched 3 ships with a similar layout, they should really consider giving more questions to the dedicated ships or at least in the future segmenting them so people can check out questions about their particular variant. Thanks for the comment man!
Train you friends to Fly your ship, how to use the Turrets both gun, tractor beam ones and most importantly how to do engineering repairs. That way they can cycle roles with confidence and when the shit hits the fa they will know what needs doing without you micromanaging them! Nice video by the way
That’s exactly what I’m planning on doing with them, they just first need to upgrade their PC’s😂 the game is a little heavy for them to run. But once all these features are out, i think it will help a ton, to get them motivated to bite the bullet and upgrade their pc’s. I was chatting with a guy earlier and we spoke about how squadron 42 will likely bring massive optimisations to the game, especially now that it’s in polish phase. And that’s super exciting because everything is starting to come together now🙏🏻
Hey thanks for the comment, I pinned a comment at the top with some of the other ships that also have the bed pod thing, you can post your comment there to help other people out that want to know more, thanks again 🙏
Hell yah man, so true, I mean it doesn't take much to convince me, just give me a pretty ship that doesn't handle like a wet blanket, and I'm a happy man 😂 Thanks for the comment, fly safe man!
@@faintanomaly So true, show me a pretty ship and it's the background on my phone and my wife's like WTF?! LOL! Hope to one day add the CL to the list as well, at some point. 🤞
I make some wallpapers for my phone as well🤣 I actually made one of the Zeus as well, seeing as it's one of the most beautiful ships out there, I just had to @@christopherwells4253
I may be lucky with my group of friends, but I run stick and mouse so my buddy normally tells me I fly he shoots. My other friend says that he is super excited about engineering and finds that to be super interesting (we used to do engineering work in the US Navy). So luckily we don't have to worry about "main character syndrome". I have also personally said that if someone is the better pilot I also have no problem doing engineering.
That's cool man, I spoke to another dude in the comment section the other day who used to fly those AH-64's in real life, there's some seriously cool dudes that play this game but anyways, you have a dream setup there with your friends, i'm hoping to get some of my friends into the game as well, but they need to upgrade their pc's and money is tight here in SA. That's cool that your group swaps roles so easily, I think it will be easier to get friends to jump on the game once all those mechanics like engineering are fully fleshed out and implemented. Well at least then i'll be able to show my friends what it will really be like. Can't wait for the clarification on all the roles to come out, I think we'll get a lot more details in the next couple patches, especially now that IAE has passed ! Thanks for the comment !
@faintanomaly yeah, I definitely consider myself lucky. Oddly enough, it was my friends who got me into PC gaming and getting this game. I probably had my computer for a year before I was able to upgrade my RAM to make the game run "smooth".
That's actually pretty cool man, yah the upgrades for this game are realllly a big deal here, I have at least 3 friends that would 100% play the game if they could run it on their PC's. Even I struggle sometimes with the low 20's on some planets 😂, but it is getting better, and I think it's going to get a lot better soon because they'll need to invest in optimisation techniques for Squadron, and a lot of those could be carried over, super exciting!
I like that the whole point of the prisoner pod areas was to have prisoner pods without sacrificing cargo space, but the MR has basically no cargo compared to the other variants as a direct result of having the prisoner pod areas. lol
I am a 100% sure they forgot the airlock on the outside. Are you aware, they actually forgot hatches for the drones on the Carrack? Not just the concept, but they actually build it without? Things like that happen at CIG. Remember the empty room in the MSR? All the same lack of attention to "Detail".....
Damm that’s interesting I didn’t know that i joined the project in 2021 so i missed out on a lot of the earlier designs, but thanks for letting me know 😁
im still just waiting for the space Dorito galaxy but ill admit i picked up a zeus mostly because i see it as a bit of a pocket sized connie and i dont have quite enough credit to buy all the modules for the galaxy and have a connie so.. Zeus just works .
I see the Zeus as a pocket sized Galaxy 😂, and same here man, I also couldn't afford all the modules so I just bought the plain galaxy, then i'll buy the modules in-game and have them insured through that system. I love the Zues's design it's such a beautiful ship, the same goes for the Galaxy too! Thanks for you comment man
From the outside, I agree with you, looks good. But the inside is terrible. I'd hate following those narrow, windy hallways. The best interior in that size class is still the 400i. I still can't believe they couldn't do better for the interior!
@@Pharesm I'm not sure if you've seen the latest Q&A with the devs yet, but apparently the interior of this ship set a new standard, so I'm very excited for the interior. oh and if you wanna check it out here's the link and a time stamp 59 minutes in exactly ruclips.net/video/71uiBVajvFE/видео.html
I just melted my Corsair tonight to upgrade my raft to a Zeus es for those 4 shields it would fit my run from a fight play style lol and I think it’s a lot more solo able then the Corsair and tankier So now I have an extra 200ish saved for IAE
I also used to have a corsair, but i took my corsair up to the galaxy, when the galaxy concept came out, but it was tough cause man those guns on the corsair were so sweet😂 i’ve got a ccu chain on the zeus waiting for IAE this year, can’t wait to get my hands on one, i’m also leaning towards the explorer variant. But that MR looks pretty sweet too… Thanks for the comment man🙏🏻
It won’t be tankier than the Corsair. It’s quite a bit smaller and the Corsair has a large shield. It also has equal amenities, room for larger vehicles in the back and far, far more firepower. It’s not going to be that much faster than the Corsair either.
I wonder how the corsair will play once they bring out the new destruction mechanics and the changes to armour, the corsair has some very flimsy looking wings, which might make them prone to damage, and by extension making it tough to fly. The Zeus, seems like it can take more physical damage just based on the layout of the ship, it seems to be much more contained, but i'm eagerly waiting to see what's gonna happen with it, luckily we won't have to wait too long!
Want to run an ES solo, with a computer blade on my turret. Maybe hire an NPC co-pilot, but I don’t want to have other people on my ship unless they’re paying passengers.
I think that's a great choice, and you're not alone, a couple people have told me now that they're interested in this ship because it ticks all their boxes for a solo daily driver, but you're right, once NPC's really come to the PU that will be huge for this ship and many other actually. I personally can't wait to get them for my RSI Galaxy😃 Thanks for the comment man !
WELLL A1 exists in the game which means C1 is around the corner, the Zeus is probably a year out, but with CIG that might be 10 more years like every other non existant ship they wanted to sell but didn't have it ready to fly.
C1 just got it's showcase this morning on the Star Citizen channel, and it's also on the PTU, so it's def on the way, I think they'll get the Zeus out in the next year, remember they have a lot of team members moving over from Squadron, now that it's feature complete, Thanks for the comment!
One question I wished someone would have asked is the quantum jump range on the ES variant compared to other explorers. This missing info alone prevents me from buying the concept. I hate refueling, lol.
Holy crap you’re right, i only realised now that’s actually crucial info for a explorer ship, post a thread on spectrum maybe they address it there, thanks for the comment !
Zeus with police lights would be pathethic. It's ok if it's flair or if it can be turned on and off (and is INVISIBLE if turned off), otherwise this is a REAL bad idea. Bounty hunting evokes Bobba Fett or Batman, not Wiggum.
100% Agree, I don't want to know it's there even if it is. but for those who want that experience they can add it as flair, I just hope they don't go and change the default design to accommodate the lights 🤣
I don't see myself as the pilot per se. I like bigger ships, and I would like to be the captain, I'm good at organizing a crew/ community. But I don't need to fly... I rather have a great pilot, great gunners, some good engineers etc. That said I think it is absolutely idiotic that most ships have seriously not even a guest bed. Zeus looks great for 4 people ...
You might enjoy the recent breakdown in did of the engineering gameplay. I chat about it a little in this video m.ruclips.net/video/D1mF_Wg8kOE/видео.html
Regarding the blue/red/white flashing lights, for the ship to have them hurts no-one. Turn them on, leave them off, up to you. To make them some seperate in game item makes zero sence at all. You're not Kojak reaching a hand out the window to put a magnetic light on the car roof. I'm sure some people want to play space cop, so they like the flashing lights, each to their own.
Sure but it also doesn’t hurt to have them as a flair item, I think that way everyone is happy, but like you said to each their own. Thanks for the comment!
i buy ships based on role and how it fits my personality.... i do intend to remain in large fleet ops BUT!!! i do not want players in my ships as i think they are better suited as pilots so i want ships that can perform crew roles with the welcome disadvantages of having NPC crew. but any ship i choose will have the hitpoints to do its role at least once!!!! this is where i think the zeus comes in!!!! me being a larger target may get me primaried but my fleet will only suffer 1 player with my ship loss but i will get off my action before hand and when i return to fight in another NPC crew ship at tail end of fight i will clean up.... in theory.... as i think fleets that multi player ships can hit at max efficiency but 1 ship loss can possibly decide the whole fight outcome!!! so this is me thinking i would rather fly swarm and any crew ships in fleet are NPC crewed or at least in my ship!!!! i can only imagine a 50vs50 fight and im man 50 with my 5 NPC crew that dont count now i have options that could possibly be a disadvantage but i think it would be advantage i i would likely max my speed as primary target forcing my pursuers into a easier to hit vector for my allies i dont think most ships look good or pretty or realistic as space ships cant /wont/shouldnt have nose bridges full of glass. landing and docking or any time 2 masses are intended for land or dock or connect in some form should be the most visible all aircraft/space craft has redundant systems and cameras. space ships dont and will not have need for nose mounted bridges unless its fighter based in at atmosphere where flight has rules and limitations such as gravity, design of craft that determines orientation and more. in space craft there isnt much of direction or orientation other than main thrust or atmospheric entry shielding.
Hey man, sorry for taking so long to get back to you on your comment, and your comment is supppper interesting, I've never thought of it like that but you're so on the mark here, the opportunity cost of not having real players flying their own ships is actually huge. 1 ship with 6 real players vs 6 ships with only one real player as the pilot and a load of NPC's, very interesting. Your comment about the ship design is also interesting, luckily a lot of the ships will need to be used in atmo and space so their more "wedge" like design makes sense in some cases, but I totally get your point. Thanks for the comment man! Fly safe
Hey man, thanks for the nice comment, zi haven’t bought one yet because i’m waiting for the IAE specials to go live on the 17th I think, but i did get a ccu to the ES variant in the meantime 😁 but I’m seriously considering going for the MR version just because i love the idea of having a combat version of this sick ship. Are you going to get one? Or haven you got one yet?
@@faintanomaly i bought the CL version but as YOU said, consedering the esthetic aspect i like the ES one. As a concierge i got a beautiful black paint wich is awsome. I am stil lokking for my perfect daily driver. After playing the MSR, th e400i, the Reedemer, the zeux seems to be fitting my needs
That’s cool man , yah the CL is cool, but i’m not a fan of that default paint so it’s cool that you got a black paint for it. I’ve also tried some of those daily drivers out. I love my MSR, it just needs a serious re-work, I might do a video on the “dream MSR” where i list some of the things people have suggested for it. I think you can’t go wrong with the Zeus though, it’s a stunning ship with lots of of uses 😁
Hey man, even if that's the case, i'm so down for that, because the starters that are out right now don't do it for me, in the "looks" department. The avenger gives this ship a good run for it's money, but this thing is so sexy to me, nothing else comes remotely close. I just wish it reflected the price of a starter 🤣😆
@@faintanomaly I think I used the word starter wrong. I upgraded my starter package to a freelancer back in the day because I wanted to start off with a multicrew ship off the bat. By looks this thing beats the freelancer. Also it actually has a habitational area, while the freelancers hab is pretty dissapointing.
That's very true, I also owned the Freelancer for a while, I had it while I was working on a CCU to my MSR, and I distinctly remember the bad visibility, out the cockpit, and also like you said, the habs were pretty lackluster.@@rederickfroders1978
Since apparently you're new this is definitely not the first ship that has the beds as ejections. However since none of the beds work for ejecting yes it's in many ships actually.
That could well be, someone else also left a comment, I pinned it on my side, it should be at the top. He nicely listed some of the ships that have the ejection pods at the moment, might be worthwhile checking through that list!
I bought mine on concept sale a while back, I don't believe it's gone on sale since then, but don't worry, you'll get another opportunity, probably soon actually, at the invictus event I'm sure they'll give everyone another opportunity
I got all three in waiting but the fact is, these guys have less shielding and armament than the 400i, so I hd hoped they’d be somewhat agile and fast, but this won’t be the case. So neither enough weapons to brawl nor enough speed to run. Has me a bit worried. I’d likely not have gotten one had I known this balance choice. Those main guns won’t be worth much if they can’t get any tot and any ship big and slow enough for the time on target will mean bigger guns on you. So… too weak to kill what they can chase and too slow to kill what they can’t. 😢
Very interesting point you laid out there, Thanks for the comment, I think that with the master mode changes there might be some adjustments made here for exactly the points you said. Luckily for me it's not a deal breaker, because I bought it for the "looks", but i can imagine that if I had bought the ship with the hopes of speed or of offensive capabilities, i'd be a bit bummed out.
@@faintanomaly yeah I really want ships to suit their roles. I also enjoy a mix of pve and PvP content so when a change comes that forces a ship into a pure pve corner within a PVA environment, it really puts me off. The ship doesn’t have to be a brawler, but it does have to provide enough characteristics that survival in it isn’t just a matter of luck. EG, I love my 315p.
Now that you mention it, I wonder if some of the other ships won't get adjustments to be more in-line with the Zeus rather than the Zeus being in alignment with them. I mean, CIG have been talking a lot about adjustments that will need to be made to all the ships, and seeing as the Zeus is the most recent ship spec to come out, I think they might adjust the other ships to align with the Zeus rather than the other way round. Maybe the older ships will get some power changes, for example making their guns fire for shorter periods? could be a Interesting way to balance out the Zeus, through changing all the other ships
What are you smoking saying less shielding than a 400i??? The 400i has one size three shield. Two of of the Zeus models will have 3 size 3's with the ES model having 4 size 3's. That is significantly more shielding for the Zeus vs the 400i. As for armament, the MR model literally has the same amount and size of guns. The big difference here is that for the 400i the pilot only has access to the two size 4's while with the Zeus, they just confirmed in the Q&A that the pilot will have the two size 4's and one of the remote turrets giving the pilot even more fire power. The 400i does have a lot more missiles, but the Zeus MR will have the Quantum Dampner and EMP which I'd rather have that than missiles that are just going to get flared anyways. I'm not saying this to hate on the 400i. I had one for a while and loved it. Still miss it but I used it to get my Corsair. Also, the Zeus is still in development and subject to change. Heck, even after they release it to live it will still be subject to balancing. Also when armor kicks in, these look like they have a lot more armor than a 400i, or anything else in that similar weight class and role.
Potential correction for the shield size. The Zeus introduction page has them listed as Size 2 shields but the actual store page has them listed as Medium which is the same as the 400i so I guess we will have to see.
I would use it maybe once or twice just to see myself launched out the ship, but i know you’re referring to actual use in a emergency, to be honest i struggle to see someone running from the cockpit to the bed fast enough to avoid being boomed😂 maybe if it’s a soft death but even then you’d be floating in space with the baddie still there, I don’t know man they’re going to have to expand a little more on this stuff in the future. Thanks for your comment though 👍😁
@@faintanomaly I mean even in general. Soft death just leads to death bc another player will keep shooting. It’s easier to just spawn back and file the claim. Half the resources and tools within the game lack justification to use. Trading posts with no economic system. Many outposts that are useless other than fetch missions. The game has all this lore on paper but is as deep as a puddle while playing.
100%, At this point, a lot of the things are still floating in the ether. They still need to bring it all together and make it a complete package, but I have faith in CIG they haven't let me down so far, yet. I mean, at the moment, if a pirate wants to steal cargo from someone, they can stop at the soft death stage, and if in the future the pods work, maybe the onboard captain and crew can eject in that phase to avoid the battle on the knocked out ship. But there's no guarantee the pilot won't just look to kill the escape pods, but then again, why would someone do that, unless they have a personal vendetta of some kind, and they really want to kill the crew. We'll have to wait and see, very interesting discussion though
That’s interesting man, so you want to log on when you get home and help some other people out in the abyss, that might be stranded and need repairs? I bet you’d have some pretty interesting interactions with folks😂
Yah those are cool, don't mind them at all. i'm just not a fan of the police lights, but it's fine if they make them a flair items so they're optional 😄
@@faintanomaly I was just thinking if the blue lines could blink/fade (turned on/off with a button) I wouldn't mind that, since it would be optional. But yes, I wouldn't want ugly lights strapped onto it.
Not locking turrets to the pilot when there are no other players is just dumb. If we were 900years in the future and this ship was released, no one would buy it. Lock the gun straight and have the pilot fire in sync. What, did they get rid of computers in the future or forgot to program software? Bad move.
😂😂 true, I think it’s just balancing related, but I agree it’s kinda insane that that’s not how it works, who knows maybe if all the ships get a balancing pass, they might give them to us
I’m hoping AI turret blades will be in game in 2024/2025 and we can automate them. Even if they are just told to shoot at what I have targeted, the added (admittedly bad aim) firepower might make the two size 4 pilot weapons enough for the ship to be a solid solo daily driver.
Hell yah, I'm hoping this is my daily driver, in all honesty if I were to start over with star citizen, then i'd just pick up this ship with LTI and call it a day😆@@Glathgrundel
I hope they realize real controls lile: let me control each exterior door and all navigation lights with a button this is so brutal unreal not to deactiavate additional lights outside the ship
I’m working on a video now about engineering, while going through that i really started appreciating all the little subsystems that run on these ships. I was quite take aback by how much there is. I also hope they give us the customisation that you were talking about
Yah, I'm sure it's that too, I think they should just make it a optional flair item, so people can decide if it's something they really want on their ships
@@faintanomaly i would be all for that, let people use it or not. :) Iam also a big fan for big / long travel times. Think of the concequnces when you do not prepare correctly. Or in a fight, when do you shoot your torps. you dont have the time to go back and rearm in a couple of min. Make every shot count.
Based on the interior schematics, i’d be shocked if it doesn’t, it looks like it would fit no problem, thank’s for the comment man hope you enjoyed the video!😁
I see what you're saying now, I still think it would fit, just for the fact that if it doesn't fit, it would severely damage the options available to those who bought the ship, and I don't think CIG would do that, think of the amount of people it would piss off, if they took that, pretty standard functionality, away. I'll ask around, I know some people who are pretty close to the devs, if I hear anything to the contrary from them, then i'll comment back on this video!
That’s great man, it sounds like you got a close knit group there, I’m hoping to get my friends on the game one day too. I’m excited for them to expand some engineering gameplay and bring even more for our co pilots to do! Thanks for the comment man 😁
The ES has 4 shields that will be turned off while you explore, but be available for those combat situations you won't be in. Most of CIG's MasterMode mechanics are absolutely ridiculous. Thank goodness Starfield CK is coming soon, so we can create an alternative to the frustrating miasma that is the CIG development 'roadmap'. We really don't deserve to be dragged through the flailings of a giant company now filled with junior developers because of its management problems.
Hey thanks for the comment man, and yah you’re right, if this RUclips thing really starts being more successful then moving is on the cards for me and my fiancé, we’re one of the fortunate families though because we stay in the western cape, which is run by the DA and things are drastically better here than the rest of the country, which is basically ANC controlled🙏🏻 but thanks for the look out man 👍

I appreciate the kind words man, thanks a lot 🙏
Fellow South African here, good video, thank you!
Hey Jax! you're the second South African to comment here 😂 We're a rare breed but apparently there's enough of us to pilot a Zeus 😂👍
In addition to my personal preference, I wouldn’t think that the Zeus MR would need police lights in-universe. The Cutlass Blue needs them because it’s been penned as a city-prowling police cruiser of sorts. The Zeus MR is (as far as we can tell) more a system-spanning anti-piracy ship, meant for long missions. It wouldn’t need police lights because there’s nobody that needs to get out of the way or be warned - I’d argue it would just make things worse.
I agree completely with you🙏🏻
Sick stuff! awesome.
Hey man, Thanks for the comment!
Hope to see you in the verse!
@@faintanomaly Thank you mate! see you in the verse o7
For a futuristic game I don't see why we don't have automated fire suppression systems on board. As well as automated defensive mimi guns to shoot down incoming missles. These things exist now.
I believe point defence system are actually planned to be in the game, if i’m not mistaken.
CIG has spoken about these concepts a couple times in the past, they feel that they could add them but then they’d lose the “game” aspect, they want people to have things to do while playing the game, and having most of the in game systems automated would mean that players would have a lot more down time.
They want star citizen to be a game you play with friends and random players you meet along the way, interaction is important to them.
But don’t forget, there’s AI planned for the game, you’d be able to hire crew to help you manage your ship and the AI could help to keep up with many of these tasks on board your ship.
I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, CIG wants the game to be fun.
But realism and a “fun” game has always been been a balance that they’re mindful of of 👍
Thanks for the comment
I hope they eventually add the ability to add colored to most ships. I would love amber lights on my SRV and police lights on any ship I'm bounty hunting in. Could be super fun for orgs as well.
There's definitely, going to be a battle fought on this exact topic that you brought up now. Because there's dedicated fans on both sides, I've noticed online some people hate the idea of having ships with like rainbows and stuff on them, and others think, "why limit the players creativity?" I think there's a argument to be made on both sides. Personally i'm more leaning to the side of keeping all the cosmetics tamed and subdued, but that's always been in my nature really, I'm so scared the game becomes too mainstream and we have a GTA style of "everything has to be loud and flamboyant".
Like always though, as the saying goes "If you try to please everyone, you'll end up pleasing no one"
I'm interested in what CIG will do in the future on this.
Thanks for the interesting comment man!
@@faintanomaly It would be nice if the red/blue lights were discreet when off and they weren't tied to the headlights, but could be turned on/off separate from the headlights. I also like your idea of making them a flair item or maybe change the "paints" ship modification section to "exterior" with the option for paint job and other features under it.
I just can't wrap my head around why the essentials needs an extra shield to begin with. that seems like something the combat variant would have. the benefit of the essentials is the cheaper price because it's the base model.
These ships are going to be great little group/org ships, ship roles and duties are being rebalanced along with engineering, fire management, master modes and combat and security. As an mmo, its shaping up nicely
I can't wait for this one in particular to be released, this is the most gorgeous ship in the game to me
Most of the Q&A was about the bounty ship, not too much was really said about the other variants. I do agree on having a more detailed info separately.
Yah, I mean they basically launched 3 ships with a similar layout, they should really consider giving more questions to the dedicated ships or at least in the future segmenting them so people can check out questions about their particular variant. Thanks for the comment man!
Train you friends to Fly your ship, how to use the Turrets both gun, tractor beam ones and most importantly how to do engineering repairs. That way they can cycle roles with confidence and when the shit hits the fa they will know what needs doing without you micromanaging them! Nice video by the way
That’s exactly what I’m planning on doing with them, they just first need to upgrade their PC’s😂 the game is a little heavy for them to run. But once all these features are out, i think it will help a ton, to get them motivated to bite the bullet and upgrade their pc’s.
I was chatting with a guy earlier and we spoke about how squadron 42 will likely bring massive optimisations to the game, especially now that it’s in polish phase. And that’s super exciting because everything is starting to come together now🙏🏻
Everyone can be a Scotty, Han Solo in a Turret and Star Buck in the 1 session in SC it is amazing

😂😂😂😂 Love that man, let's hope! can't wait
The freelance max is another ship that has ejection pod beds(the functionality hasn't been added yet)
Thanks for pointing that out man, I only joined the game in 2021 so the freelancer is before my time 🙏🏻 but I will keep it in mind for the future
The spirit a1 the retaliator also have bed pods btw
Hey thanks for the comment, I pinned a comment at the top with some of the other ships that also have the bed pod thing, you can post your comment there to help other people out that want to know more, thanks again 🙏
Ha ha, I'm the same way I buy them for the same reason, "cuz dam girl! you one se>
Hell yah man, so true, I mean it doesn't take much to convince me, just give me a pretty ship that doesn't handle like a wet blanket, and I'm a happy man 😂 Thanks for the comment, fly safe man!
@@faintanomaly So true, show me a pretty ship and it's the background on my phone and my wife's like WTF?! LOL! Hope to one day add the CL to the list as well, at some point. 🤞
I make some wallpapers for my phone as well🤣 I actually made one of the Zeus as well, seeing as it's one of the most beautiful ships out there, I just had to @@christopherwells4253
@@faintanomaly HEAR HEAR! I second this motion!
I may be lucky with my group of friends, but I run stick and mouse so my buddy normally tells me I fly he shoots. My other friend says that he is super excited about engineering and finds that to be super interesting (we used to do engineering work in the US Navy). So luckily we don't have to worry about "main character syndrome".
I have also personally said that if someone is the better pilot I also have no problem doing engineering.
That's cool man, I spoke to another dude in the comment section the other day who used to fly those AH-64's in real life, there's some seriously cool dudes that play this game but anyways, you have a dream setup there with your friends, i'm hoping to get some of my friends into the game as well, but they need to upgrade their pc's and money is tight here in SA.
That's cool that your group swaps roles so easily, I think it will be easier to get friends to jump on the game once all those mechanics like engineering are fully fleshed out and implemented. Well at least then i'll be able to show my friends what it will really be like.
Can't wait for the clarification on all the roles to come out, I think we'll get a lot more details in the next couple patches, especially now that IAE has passed !
Thanks for the comment !
@faintanomaly yeah, I definitely consider myself lucky. Oddly enough, it was my friends who got me into PC gaming and getting this game. I probably had my computer for a year before I was able to upgrade my RAM to make the game run "smooth".
That's actually pretty cool man, yah the upgrades for this game are realllly a big deal here, I have at least 3 friends that would 100% play the game if they could run it on their PC's. Even I struggle sometimes with the low 20's on some planets 😂, but it is getting better, and I think it's going to get a lot better soon because they'll need to invest in optimisation techniques for Squadron, and a lot of those could be carried over, super exciting!
I like that the whole point of the prisoner pod areas was to have prisoner pods without sacrificing cargo space, but the MR has basically no cargo compared to the other variants as a direct result of having the prisoner pod areas. lol
Very good point, haha 😂 Guess they were going for the "cool" points
I am a 100% sure they forgot the airlock on the outside. Are you aware, they actually forgot hatches for the drones on the Carrack? Not just the concept, but they actually build it without? Things like that happen at CIG. Remember the empty room in the MSR? All the same lack of attention to "Detail".....
Damm that’s interesting I didn’t know that i joined the project in 2021 so i missed out on a lot of the earlier designs, but thanks for letting me know 😁
The Vanguard Warden's center modular doubles as a survival pod that can eject!
Sweet man thanks for letting me know👍😁
im still just waiting for the space Dorito galaxy but ill admit i picked up a zeus mostly because i see it as a bit of a pocket sized connie and i dont have quite enough credit to buy all the modules for the galaxy and have a connie so.. Zeus just works .
I see the Zeus as a pocket sized Galaxy 😂, and same here man, I also couldn't afford all the modules so I just bought the plain galaxy, then i'll buy the modules in-game and have them insured through that system. I love the Zues's design it's such a beautiful ship, the same goes for the Galaxy too! Thanks for you comment man
From the outside, I agree with you, looks good.
But the inside is terrible. I'd hate following those narrow, windy hallways.
The best interior in that size class is still the 400i.
I still can't believe they couldn't do better for the interior!
I see where you’re coming from, but i’m still hyped for this ship😂 it’s kinda cozy 😂
@@faintanomaly I hope when alll the textures and colors are in, that the interior look great too.
@@Pharesm I'm not sure if you've seen the latest Q&A with the devs yet, but apparently the interior of this ship set a new standard, so I'm very excited for the interior. oh and if you wanna check it out here's the link and a time stamp 59 minutes in exactly ruclips.net/video/71uiBVajvFE/видео.html
I just melted my Corsair tonight to upgrade my raft to a Zeus es for those 4 shields it would fit my run from a fight play style lol and I think it’s a lot more solo able then the Corsair and tankier
So now I have an extra 200ish saved for IAE
I also used to have a corsair, but i took my corsair up to the galaxy, when the galaxy concept came out, but it was tough cause man those guns on the corsair were so sweet😂 i’ve got a ccu chain on the zeus waiting for IAE this year, can’t wait to get my hands on one, i’m also leaning towards the explorer variant. But that MR looks pretty sweet too… Thanks for the comment man🙏🏻
It won’t be tankier than the Corsair. It’s quite a bit smaller and the Corsair has a large shield. It also has equal amenities, room for larger vehicles in the back and far, far more firepower. It’s not going to be that much faster than the Corsair either.
I wonder how the corsair will play once they bring out the new destruction mechanics and the changes to armour, the corsair has some very flimsy looking wings, which might make them prone to damage, and by extension making it tough to fly. The Zeus, seems like it can take more physical damage just based on the layout of the ship, it seems to be much more contained, but i'm eagerly waiting to see what's gonna happen with it, luckily we won't have to wait too long!
Want to run an ES solo, with a computer blade on my turret.
Maybe hire an NPC co-pilot, but I don’t want to have other people on my ship unless they’re paying passengers.
I think that's a great choice, and you're not alone, a couple people have told me now that they're interested in this ship because it ticks all their boxes for a solo daily driver, but you're right, once NPC's really come to the PU that will be huge for this ship and many other actually. I personally can't wait to get them for my RSI Galaxy😃 Thanks for the comment man !
WELLL A1 exists in the game which means C1 is around the corner, the Zeus is probably a year out, but with CIG that might be 10 more years like every other non existant ship they wanted to sell but didn't have it ready to fly.
C1 just got it's showcase this morning on the Star Citizen channel, and it's also on the PTU, so it's def on the way, I think they'll get the Zeus out in the next year, remember they have a lot of team members moving over from Squadron, now that it's feature complete, Thanks for the comment!
One question I wished someone would have asked is the quantum jump range on the ES variant compared to other explorers. This missing info alone prevents me from buying the concept. I hate refueling, lol.
Holy crap you’re right, i only realised now that’s actually crucial info for a explorer ship, post a thread on spectrum maybe they address it there, thanks for the comment !
About bed/ rescue pods: The constellation had it in 2012...
That's great, the more you know, hope someone else sees your comment for the info! Thanks for the comment 😊
Zeus with police lights would be pathethic. It's ok if it's flair or if it can be turned on and off (and is INVISIBLE if turned off), otherwise this is a REAL bad idea.
Bounty hunting evokes Bobba Fett or Batman, not Wiggum.
100% Agree, I don't want to know it's there even if it is. but for those who want that experience they can add it as flair, I just hope they don't go and change the default design to accommodate the lights 🤣
I don't see myself as the pilot per se.
I like bigger ships, and I would like to be the captain, I'm good at organizing a crew/ community.
But I don't need to fly... I rather have a great pilot, great gunners, some good engineers etc.
That said I think it is absolutely idiotic that most ships have seriously not even a guest bed.
Zeus looks great for 4 people ...
You might enjoy the recent breakdown in did of the engineering gameplay. I chat about it a little in this video
m.ruclips.net/video/D1mF_Wg8kOE/видео.html
Regarding the blue/red/white flashing lights, for the ship to have them hurts no-one. Turn them on, leave them off, up to you. To make them some seperate in game item makes zero sence at all. You're not Kojak reaching a hand out the window to put a magnetic light on the car roof. I'm sure some people want to play space cop, so they like the flashing lights, each to their own.
Sure but it also doesn’t hurt to have them as a flair item, I think that way everyone is happy, but like you said to each their own. Thanks for the comment!
i buy ships based on role and how it fits my personality.... i do intend to remain in large fleet ops BUT!!! i do not want players in my ships as i think they are better suited as pilots so i want ships that can perform crew roles with the welcome disadvantages of having NPC crew. but any ship i choose will have the hitpoints to do its role at least once!!!! this is where i think the zeus comes in!!!! me being a larger target may get me primaried but my fleet will only suffer 1 player with my ship loss but i will get off my action before hand and when i return to fight in another NPC crew ship at tail end of fight i will clean up.... in theory.... as i think fleets that multi player ships can hit at max efficiency but 1 ship loss can possibly decide the whole fight outcome!!! so this is me thinking i would rather fly swarm and any crew ships in fleet are NPC crewed or at least in my ship!!!!
i can only imagine a 50vs50 fight and im man 50 with my 5 NPC crew that dont count now i have options that could possibly be a disadvantage but i think it would be advantage i i would likely max my speed as primary target forcing my pursuers into a easier to hit vector for my allies
i dont think most ships look good or pretty or realistic as space ships cant /wont/shouldnt have nose bridges full of glass. landing and docking or any time 2 masses are intended for land or dock or connect in some form should be the most visible
all aircraft/space craft has redundant systems and cameras. space ships dont and will not have need for nose mounted bridges unless its fighter based in at atmosphere where flight has rules and limitations such as gravity, design of craft that determines orientation and more. in space craft there isnt much of direction or orientation other than main thrust or atmospheric entry shielding.
Hey man, sorry for taking so long to get back to you on your comment, and your comment is supppper interesting, I've never thought of it like that but you're so on the mark here, the opportunity cost of not having real players flying their own ships is actually huge. 1 ship with 6 real players vs 6 ships with only one real player as the pilot and a load of NPC's, very interesting.
Your comment about the ship design is also interesting, luckily a lot of the ships will need to be used in atmo and space so their more "wedge" like design makes sense in some cases, but I totally get your point.
Thanks for the comment man! Fly safe
Hi nice video, which version did you buy btw ?
Hey man, thanks for the nice comment, zi haven’t bought one yet because i’m waiting for the IAE specials to go live on the 17th I think, but i did get a ccu to the ES variant in the meantime 😁 but I’m seriously considering going for the MR version just because i love the idea of having a combat version of this sick ship. Are you going to get one? Or haven you got one yet?
@@faintanomaly i bought the CL version but as YOU said, consedering the esthetic aspect i like the ES one. As a concierge i got a beautiful black paint wich is awsome.
I am stil lokking for my perfect daily driver. After playing the MSR, th e400i, the Reedemer, the zeux seems to be fitting my needs
That’s cool man , yah the CL is cool, but i’m not a fan of that default paint so it’s cool that you got a black paint for it.
I’ve also tried some of those daily drivers out. I love my MSR, it just needs a serious re-work, I might do a video on the “dream MSR” where i list some of the things people have suggested for it.
I think you can’t go wrong with the Zeus though, it’s a stunning ship with lots of of uses 😁
This is a very greatly upgraded starter ship
Hey man, even if that's the case, i'm so down for that, because the starters that are out right now don't do it for me, in the "looks" department. The avenger gives this ship a good run for it's money, but this thing is so sexy to me, nothing else comes remotely close. I just wish it reflected the price of a starter 🤣😆
@@faintanomaly I think I used the word starter wrong. I upgraded my starter package to a freelancer back in the day because I wanted to start off with a multicrew ship off the bat. By looks this thing beats the freelancer. Also it actually has a habitational area, while the freelancers hab is pretty dissapointing.
That's very true, I also owned the Freelancer for a while, I had it while I was working on a CCU to my MSR, and I distinctly remember the bad visibility, out the cockpit, and also like you said, the habs were pretty lackluster.@@rederickfroders1978
It probably needs a bit of a re-fresh, like most ships nowadays do.
@@faintanomaly If the freelancer DUR and Max atleast would get atleast somewhat of a living quarters, it would increase the ships worth alot
Since apparently you're new this is definitely not the first ship that has the beds as ejections. However since none of the beds work for ejecting yes it's in many ships actually.
Thanks for pointing that out man appreciate it hopefully some other people check your comment out ! 😁
Isn't the Freelancer supposed to have that?
The Zeus seems to be, spec wise, a slightly longer, different looking Freelancer.
That could well be, someone else also left a comment, I pinned it on my side, it should be at the top.
He nicely listed some of the ships that have the ejection pods at the moment, might be worthwhile checking through that list!
@@monty58 Yes the freelancer's beds are going to be, but that ship like the conny series needs such an overhaul for gold pass
When could you buy the zeus??
I bought mine on concept sale a while back, I don't believe it's gone on sale since then, but don't worry, you'll get another opportunity, probably soon actually, at the invictus event I'm sure they'll give everyone another opportunity
You from South Africa? I'm in Jhb
Good Evening my fellow South African 😂, I'm Cape town side.
I got all three in waiting but the fact is, these guys have less shielding and armament than the 400i, so I hd hoped they’d be somewhat agile and fast, but this won’t be the case. So neither enough weapons to brawl nor enough speed to run. Has me a bit worried. I’d likely not have gotten one had I known this balance choice. Those main guns won’t be worth much if they can’t get any tot and any ship big and slow enough for the time on target will mean bigger guns on you. So… too weak to kill what they can chase and too slow to kill what they can’t. 😢
Very interesting point you laid out there, Thanks for the comment, I think that with the master mode changes there might be some adjustments made here for exactly the points you said.
Luckily for me it's not a deal breaker, because I bought it for the "looks", but i can imagine that if I had bought the ship with the hopes of speed or of offensive capabilities, i'd be a bit bummed out.
@@faintanomaly yeah I really want ships to suit their roles. I also enjoy a mix of pve and PvP content so when a change comes that forces a ship into a pure pve corner within a PVA environment, it really puts me off. The ship doesn’t have to be a brawler, but it does have to provide enough characteristics that survival in it isn’t just a matter of luck. EG, I love my 315p.
Now that you mention it, I wonder if some of the other ships won't get adjustments to be more in-line with the Zeus rather than the Zeus being in alignment with them. I mean, CIG have been talking a lot about adjustments that will need to be made to all the ships, and seeing as the Zeus is the most recent ship spec to come out, I think they might adjust the other ships to align with the Zeus rather than the other way round. Maybe the older ships will get some power changes, for example making their guns fire for shorter periods? could be a Interesting way to balance out the Zeus, through changing all the other ships
What are you smoking saying less shielding than a 400i??? The 400i has one size three shield. Two of of the Zeus models will have 3 size 3's with the ES model having 4 size 3's. That is significantly more shielding for the Zeus vs the 400i.
As for armament, the MR model literally has the same amount and size of guns. The big difference here is that for the 400i the pilot only has access to the two size 4's while with the Zeus, they just confirmed in the Q&A that the pilot will have the two size 4's and one of the remote turrets giving the pilot even more fire power. The 400i does have a lot more missiles, but the Zeus MR will have the Quantum Dampner and EMP which I'd rather have that than missiles that are just going to get flared anyways.
I'm not saying this to hate on the 400i. I had one for a while and loved it. Still miss it but I used it to get my Corsair. Also, the Zeus is still in development and subject to change. Heck, even after they release it to live it will still be subject to balancing. Also when armor kicks in, these look like they have a lot more armor than a 400i, or anything else in that similar weight class and role.
Potential correction for the shield size. The Zeus introduction page has them listed as Size 2 shields but the actual store page has them listed as Medium which is the same as the 400i so I guess we will have to see.
Did they imply, the pilot has no weapon access?
I was sure the bow weapons are fired by the pilot? ;-)
No no those are indeed pilot controlled don't worry, they were referring to the turrets😊
Would people actually even use escape pods?
I would use it maybe once or twice just to see myself launched out the ship, but i know you’re referring to actual use in a emergency, to be honest i struggle to see someone running from the cockpit to the bed fast enough to avoid being boomed😂 maybe if it’s a soft death but even then you’d be floating in space with the baddie still there, I don’t know man they’re going to have to expand a little more on this stuff in the future. Thanks for your comment though 👍😁
@@faintanomaly I mean even in general. Soft death just leads to death bc another player will keep shooting. It’s easier to just spawn back and file the claim. Half the resources and tools within the game lack justification to use. Trading posts with no economic system. Many outposts that are useless other than fetch missions. The game has all this lore on paper but is as deep as a puddle while playing.
100%, At this point, a lot of the things are still floating in the ether. They still need to bring it all together and make it a complete package, but I have faith in CIG they haven't let me down so far, yet.
I mean, at the moment, if a pirate wants to steal cargo from someone, they can stop at the soft death stage, and if in the future the pods work, maybe the onboard captain and crew can eject in that phase to avoid the battle on the knocked out ship.
But there's no guarantee the pilot won't just look to kill the escape pods, but then again, why would someone do that, unless they have a personal vendetta of some kind, and they really want to kill the crew.
We'll have to wait and see, very interesting discussion though
it looks like a larger avenger. that's enough for me
Now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance, but on the ES version with that white paint! Thanks for the comment man !
8:11 only thing I’m imagining is running a mobile repair company
That’s interesting man, so you want to log on when you get home and help some other people out in the abyss, that might be stranded and need repairs? I bet you’d have some pretty interesting interactions with folks😂
There are already lights on the MR (blue stripes)? Or is it paint?
Ah it's paint. I see.
Yah those are cool, don't mind them at all. i'm just not a fan of the police lights, but it's fine if they make them a flair items so they're optional 😄
@@faintanomaly I was just thinking if the blue lines could blink/fade (turned on/off with a button) I wouldn't mind that, since it would be optional. But yes, I wouldn't want ugly lights strapped onto it.
Oooo that's pretty interesting, I guess if they did that, what you suggested now, like the fade, i'd be down for that too. Sounds sick
Great Idea!
Not locking turrets to the pilot when there are no other players is just dumb. If we were 900years in the future and this ship was released, no one would buy it. Lock the gun straight and have the pilot fire in sync. What, did they get rid of computers in the future or forgot to program software? Bad move.
😂😂 true, I think it’s just balancing related, but I agree it’s kinda insane that that’s not how it works, who knows maybe if all the ships get a balancing pass, they might give them to us
I’m hoping AI turret blades will be in game in 2024/2025 and we can automate them.
Even if they are just told to shoot at what I have targeted, the added (admittedly bad aim) firepower might make the two size 4 pilot weapons enough for the ship to be a solid solo daily driver.
Hell yah, I'm hoping this is my daily driver, in all honesty if I were to start over with star citizen, then i'd just pick up this ship with LTI and call it a day😆@@Glathgrundel
I hope they realize real controls lile: let me control each exterior door and all navigation lights with a button this is so brutal unreal not to deactiavate additional lights outside the ship
Once the engineering systems are in I'm sure they'll expand on some of those types of things, CIG want our ships to become homes
i hope so@@faintanomaly
I’m working on a video now about engineering, while going through that i really started appreciating all the little subsystems that run on these ships. I was quite take aback by how much there is.
I also hope they give us the customisation that you were talking about
I think its more for role playing this red blue lights.
Yah, I'm sure it's that too, I think they should just make it a optional flair item, so people can decide if it's something they really want on their ships
@@faintanomaly i would be all for that, let people use it or not. :) Iam also a big fan for big / long travel times. Think of the concequnces when you do not prepare correctly. Or in a fight, when do you shoot your torps. you dont have the time to go back and rearm in a couple of min. Make every shot count.
I agree, 99% of the fun is in the planning of your adventure🤣@@machoalright
Can the Explorer variant hold a Roc?
Based on the interior schematics, i’d be shocked if it doesn’t, it looks like it would fit no problem, thank’s for the comment man hope you enjoyed the video!😁
I did enjoy the video. Just wondering if the Roc will fit considering the sloped (top) back. @@faintanomaly
I see what you're saying now, I still think it would fit, just for the fact that if it doesn't fit, it would severely damage the options available to those who bought the ship, and I don't think CIG would do that, think of the amount of people it would piss off, if they took that, pretty standard functionality, away.
I'll ask around, I know some people who are pretty close to the devs, if I hear anything to the contrary from them, then i'll comment back on this video!
I have several friends that prefer being on turrets, sitting 2nd seat, and what-not as opposed to being the pilot.
That’s great man, it sounds like you got a close knit group there, I’m hoping to get my friends on the game one day too. I’m excited for them to expand some engineering gameplay and bring even more for our co pilots to do! Thanks for the comment man 😁
The ES has 4 shields that will be turned off while you explore, but be available for those combat situations you won't be in. Most of CIG's MasterMode mechanics are absolutely ridiculous. Thank goodness Starfield CK is coming soon, so we can create an alternative to the frustrating miasma that is the CIG development 'roadmap'. We really don't deserve to be dragged through the flailings of a giant company now filled with junior developers because of its management problems.
Interesting comment thanks!
if i would be you, i would move away from SA asap, unless you can deal with having no power most of the day.
Hey thanks for the comment man, and yah you’re right, if this RUclips thing really starts being more successful then moving is on the cards for me and my fiancé, we’re one of the fortunate families though because we stay in the western cape, which is run by the DA and things are drastically better here than the rest of the country, which is basically ANC controlled🙏🏻 but thanks for the look out man 👍
those lights are so stupid
I'm also not the biggest fan man, Hope you enjoyed the video!
