I didn’t spend even $1

I pledged the Medical Terrapin as my second ship, next to my Cutty Red. I was disappointed in the HP. A bunker chewed me up in the same amount of time it would take for my Red to die. I think my expectations were too high based on my limited understanding of ship health.

You had almost everything spot on in my “opinion”. Also, I’m the same. I closed up my wallet. I only spent it on little CCU’s and finished all my chains in order to not add more to the game. 😅

Yeah I didn't even visit the Expo hall once, compared to previous years where I went there frequently. Very disappointed.

We need more solo play (not necessary "solo player", but those in-between times when it's just you) options. I snatched up the Terrapin Medic for solo FPS play (rather than my nUrza)

I think that more of industrial ships would have brought more excitement, there just wasn’t much I was interested in this year

Sorry but dit you know nothing ? Cig has altert the loaner matrix most of the not ready capital ships has a Polaris as loaner !

I'm personally not making any big purchases until the flight model is fixed. Master modes was a disgustingly bad mistake. Hopefully the changes they mentioned come quick, cause I don't even like flying anymore. It's boring.

This was a rough year for star citizen. Master mode, physicalized inventory, ingame ship price massive increases with the promise of more nerfing of the economy, infrequency of high value minables. This all really turned off a lot of the community. Not to mention the flood of complaints that felt ignored led to many of the players I know abandoning the game entirely for newer games that came out this year. There was also the setback of SQ42 which shook morale further since it spells the delay of Star Citizen's progress. We as players just took hit after hit with little to smile about. Delay of 4.0 and server meshing and the focus on combat which neglects other gameloops that we are still waiting on. Many chose to speak with their wallets and withheld investing especially concept ships. I guess I might as well include the nerfing of many ships to make room for new sales which really felt forced and unnecessary since we've bought newer ships to support the game. I spent my share of money on the game but I might be done until more game loops come in. I agree with you that we need more industrial gaming in this game. It could so much more than the combat MMO that it is now.

50k less hull HP, less SCM speed, less QT & hydrogen fuel, way less firepower, splitted cargospace, no tractorbeam, triple expedite/claim time, very limited cockpit view... the ONLY thing being a positive aggainst the taurus is the overall higher cargospace but i doubt thats really that necessary for ERT/vaughn contracts. & for cargo hauling you can use a C2 / M2 anyways... nahh, no upgrade for me, taurus beats the Starlancer Max in every important point.

The Paladin could be good. I wish it had the Valkyrie's cargo/vehicle bay instead of empty space in the back. The turret could move through it like the Arrastra turret.

Eh it will be nerfed a year after it releases and will be another redeemer. I doubt it will keep those size 5s for long. I’ll wait a year after release and then look at it again.

Instead of making more ships to buy, just fix the game 😂

I like the ship but worried it will get nerfed. The middle section interior looks like alot of wasted space. So i think the interior could use some work. I like how this ship knows what it is. No drop seats, no big cargo area. The ship is for suppression in space and on the ground. I got a CCU from my hurricane to this.

This is a must get for me. 2 people to control all those guns is really nice.

I've been looking at picking up a heavy fighter anyway, so that Paladin be looking REALLY tempting.

I am waiting for 4.0 to get the Guardian

I can't get enough of these videos and this ship! I like it o7 If they can make a bigger one with bigger guns that can transport a Tank/Ballista I'd be there

I solo mine thanks to PDS.

I think compared to allot of other ship Chassis the Starlancer Max is the most flexible, its on paper stats are good but its off paper stats leave allot of wiggle room. It's biggest plus is of course how compatible it is with 32 SCU containers. Able to grid 6 of them the only other ship that can do this is the C2 Herc. However without too much trouble you can easily slide an additional 3x32 SCU boxes in the back with still room to spare. I am sure people fit even more but I try not to make moving boxes a hassel and at the end of the day saving you hassel is what the StarLancer is all about. Now in saying that I must admit I am wondering if ANYONE at CIG loaded and unloaded the middle cargo racks much because this area is both easy and a little silly. The middle walk way is in the way, preventing you from loading both cargo racks from one side. They even have small rails that fold UP to block the cargo from moving one side to the other. Now you CAN float smaller boxes over the ramp with a tractor beam. 8 SCU boxes are not too hard but with the support lines from the ceilings doing it with 16's might be a stretch and you can easily raise the rack to make it a bit more easier to lift them slightly because you do have a wee bit of head room and move them to the other side, otherwise your playing volley ball with them to toss them over the walk way to the other side. This kinda sucks for cargo missions that deals with allot of smaller boxes, making you juggle and slide the boxes about but its not hard however it feels like this should not be required. When it comes to transporting the 32 SCU containers I give them a break because while its a pain to move over to the other side of the ship to grab the boxes, you only have to do this twice and the front of the ship is tall enough to slip them under the nose. if your 2 manning this and one guy is in an atlas you could completely load or unload this ship in like 3 minutes....which is amazing. Second key point is our chunky boi is a bit better at combat that we were lead to believe. Power management wise she has enough extra power to DOUBLE her weapons systems potency and allow the pilot to just hose whatever poor ship unlucky enough to be in front of her and with a turret gunner cut her larger cargo sisters in half in record time. Parapet seems to be the preferred shield option and while not great she has enough hull HP to take a few lumps if needed. All in all, it does have more options than meets the eye which is a special thing about some Star Citizen ships.

So they are still not going to give us shields. That is so damn dumb. Get a power source that can't power everything. Use nav mode and can't have protection but attackers got weapons. They attack you in nav mode going their fastest, you have to switch to the slowest mode, wait for the shields to come up which they won't cause you are being attacked, and then you die.Great freaking idea. No shields is the worst thing about master modes and now people get weapons in nav mode. Yeah, that seems very balanced 👍

A agree with you about the flight madale

I would just simply ask anyone who needs the crew, then I will have a free capital ship to fly. XD

GOOD, they are finally figuring out what we have been screaming at them for the last what 4+ years is the direction they should have went in the first place! This does not mean they have finally figured it out and we can only cringe and hope they dont try to include some other ignorant mechanic and build this the way it ALMOST was before they introduced this joke called master modes!

The one thing thats been killing me since master modes became a thing they are NOT changing. The tier factor will only just make dieing more a thing and just another time sink. Once we all reach tier 5 it will just be the same thing. NO SHIELDS!

I'm cautiously optimistic about the flight model; however, I'm still concerned this concept wasn't locked down years ago.

I wasn’t a big fan of the mode switching or fact that you cannot run your whole ship at one time. My main issue is the speed limiter reset that occurs each time you exit QT. I don’t know if that is a Master Modes attribute, but I know the delay between finishing QT and resuming regular propulsion has certainly increased and I dislike that.

As someone who doesn’t do much combat I don’t know much about the fight geometry but I’m excited for quantum boost and exploring tons of unique poi’s.

Just the same as our irl universe things constantly change. And wether it be good or bad I’m around for it. I like to tune in and get opinions from others. Been watching this channel since it started pretty much. Cool video. Cool ideas.

They did a Q and A on this ship too and said the captains room will be unlocked in a later patch

Someone mentioned on Spectrum eluded to all ships over 1K always come with LTI. Not sure where that stems from though

...the game itself does not work, so WHAT competition ? not working game = not working ships.... ---> hmm... = haha ;) 😘

the black shirt saga continues

amazinggg thanks

This guardian needs to be available to sell, take my money now!!!

Airwolf

How about a total rework of the Reclaimer for salvage, cargo and ship parts?

Its ready they just dont eant it to compete with the Hornet's that are coming out

Give me my fat fury!

Why buy it? its going to be free in 6months.

For me the fortune would be perfet for a Polaris base building set where you can put a prospector and a Fortune in the hangar and base building cars in the cargo bay.

The Starlancer is is only better on paper. I hate the letterbox view, and the Taurus still loads cargo easier, and hits harder in fights with 4 size 5 weapons. You could argue the Starlancer has a better interior, but meh, it's just bloat until CIG makes all that crap do something. Well to each their own.

What if the MISC Fortune has 3x the Vulture’s hopper size and the box dispenser is accessible from the back exterior? I see this working in tandem with a larger ship like the MISC Odyssey. It goes out and scrapes RMC, then goes back to offload in the cargo bay of another ship. All of this is just speculation/theory crafting on my part, of course.

bigger bigger target, not worth the number of SCU. It is not a medium size ship anymore.

One question nobody get in account: what does the strater pack include? Squadron42 and the Star citizen MMO or only one of those? I love your armor btw, which one is it please ?

we definitely need a new heavy fighter with beds and interior

Hey yo big buddy use the arrow keys to go frame to frame! Not putting you on the spot but it’s amazing how many KZbin people KZbin video reactors don’t know this. Anyways love the speculation thanks man

100% agree with your perspective. Why do a prospector clone when they could have did a drake mining ship. Also the Starlancer is a mid size ship so why not a salvager instead of BLD which seemed like it was a last minute variation. Still ALOT more backlogged ships unrealized and a new list of upcoming ships....CIG is a wildcard that keeps you guessing

I was very disappointed that it wasn’t on sale at IAE

4:38 not sure how you get into this ship if it has an interior. Maybe that rear opens, but does not seem to. If it does not have an interior I am not buying. Looking for a ship to get from my inferno. The only heavy with interior is the vanguard series, and I do not like them at all. I have not flown one in a while though and I am curious if the nose guns on the vanguard are now gimbal since every other mount on every ship, except the Ares, has gimbal mounts. Does the vanguard still also have fixed guns, or do the nose s2 now gimbal? Either way, not sure why there are no other heavies with interior. I am hoping this has interior. If not, I am hoping that DRAKE makes a heavy fighter with interior. Only other option left would be Consolidated Outland to come out with one.
