Anvil Paladin Q&A - Star Citizen

[@markarbuckle8393]

Several ships have escape pod beds, constellation and Retaliator are two

[@Xander_Kai]

Really? I didn't know that. First time I've heard of that interesting..

[@NP907AK]

Double confirming that is a thing

[@Jokolism]

there are more ships if i aint wrong alot of the small to medium size ships have this, the warden is also one, but if i aint wrong the connie has also escape pod beds

[@reverendzombie72]

@@Xander_Kai It's true beds as escape pods is nothing new but I can see how it may not be common knowledge. It is a less exciting game mechanic we are still waiting for.

[@Monk-Darlington]

​@@Jokolism wardens entire mid section IS the escape pod, or, was supposed to be, one reason why it can be swapped out, or, was supposed to be able to with the BUK's (battlefield upgrade kit).

[@Dracounguis]

I can agree with their reasoning over the changes to the Redeemer. But like everyone I 100% believe those changes happened NOW just because they wanted to sell the Paladin. No one has ever accused CIG marketing of not being slimy.

[@ozramblue117]

White knights have defended them for years… but this time it was harder to do than usual.

[@xSparkyX188]

Let me just throw all my ballistic ammo on the empty floor space so I can reload. C'mon, we now it's not a cargo ship, but it needs SOME cargo, even just 1 or 2 scu. Are you going to throw all your loot on the floors?

[@shiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz]

Exactly. Another out of touch ship design by CIG devs with their heads in fairy land. Where is the common sense?

[@KD-_-]

2-4 SCU would be perfect. Either for ammo, storalls, or both.

[@gabzsy4924]

Are you new to SC? Many if not most ships have scattered components throughout the ship, especially avionics, life support and gravity generstors. Escaping pods beds are nothing new, in fact older ships like the Conny and Reliant all have them but even newer ones like the Argo Raft and if I'm not mistaken even the Zeuk MKII have them.

[@Xander_Kai]

No I'm not new to SC. I just never payed attention to where the location of ship components are because it never mattered for a long time.

[@johnroy7035]

You are new there are other ships with beds that are used for escape pods.

[@KD-_-]

Zero SCU is a bit strange for cargo, Redeemer has 2 SCU. I believe paladin SHOULD have 2-4 SCU cargo support and the ability to bring a bike. Redeemer can hold a pulse for ex.

[@Xander_Kai]

Ehh yeah okay I can see that point. Why not a little bit of cargo capacity. You're right the redeemer has that little wall on the side for cargo

[@WildAce001]

its not strange, its a pure combat ship. The cargo capacity, module section, maneuverability, speed, and 6 shields that will recharge to full faster than a single size 3 are all part of what sets the redeemer apart from the Paladin. If any of those differences are what you are looking for then use the Redeemer, if all you need is to tank and kill take the Paladin.

[@KD-_-]

@WildAce001 it is actually strange for it to have literally zero. Most ships that crew multiple people have some very low SCU specifically for crew to bring store alls onboard / loot bunkers.

[@WildAce001]

@KD-_- you can still bring them on board they just don't have a grid to snap to, if it fits it sits. As long as it fits through the side entry way.

[@KD-_-]

@WildAce001 I think you mean vanishes from existence when you hit quantum button half the time I'm afraid 😢

[@martinvitek5945]

My opinion is that every single ship should have at least 2 SCU cargo grid. As you can pick items during missions, you should be able to store it somewhere. And 1 or 2 SCU boxes are usually used for this purpose. Also delivery missions with those small packages should be grid lockable ;-)

[@gabzsy4924]

Why would it have a smaller QT range if the whole purpose of the ship is to be a gunship with amenities and living quarters for the crew? One would think its supposed to stay in operations for long times and at great distances.

[@kylesmith568]

He just misread,l that part- it says the Paladin will have a "similar" QT fuel capacity to the Valkyrie, not "smaller" like he stated.

[@Redmarine1983]

The constellations have the same escape pod/bed combination. I think the Redeemer and maybe the Valkyries also have it.

[@miszionX]

side weapons pilot controlled and can also be operated by a crew.

[@smg1707]

Love the looks of the ship but keeping my Redeemer.

[@joelellis7035]

The crew beds on the Constellations, Retaliator, Vanguard and other ships double as escape pods.

[@Xander_Kai]

Good to know thank you! I'll keep that in mind. The vanguard warden has a escape pod in the center of the ship too no?

[@joelellis7035]

@Xander_Kai I think you're confusing the turret access with an escape pod. Or maybe the bathroom.

[@Xander_Kai]

I thought there was an escape pod on the floor behind the pilot seat on just the warden variant. Maybe I'm mistaken then

[@THEMALBINO]

Don't believe a word!

[@qutatron]

6 size 2 shields is a huge drawback. It takes a huge amount of power to power it.

[@Xander_Kai]

Good to know.. Yeah, six shield gens is a lot and an odd amount, but i guess that is what redeemer balance changes are now

[@KD-_-]

@@Xander_Kai yeah power management screen on the redeemer is crazy you literally can't fully pip shields even with wpn disabled

[@PepicWalrus]

Redundancies though. Say you have 2 shield generators if you lose those It's done but with 6 you'll have back ups

[@Dracounguis]

I would say three or four of those questions were wasted. Information that was already out there if people just bothered to look. Not sure how CIG determines which questions are worth answering.

[@Dracounguis]

The whole reloading ballistic ammo seems silly. Especially for a dedicated gunship. If you have space for 'extra' ammo why wouldn't your ammo magazine just be bigger? Now if you're talking a cargo ship carrying a big box of ammo on the cargo grid, ok.

[@ozramblue117]

Crew beds as ejection beds: Vanguards, constellations, and reliants do that as well, though it makes more sense on those as they’re close to the cockpit. Makes no sense on paladin as they’re close effectively have to run around all that useless internal space to get to them. Good luck if the ship is about to go down and you don’t even have gravity.

[@Dracounguis]

As far back as the Freelancer & Connie, beds have been escape pods. It's not a new revolutionary feature.

[@Xander_Kai]

Homie, i honestly didn't know, just my honest reaction. I think it's a cool thing that just slipped past my radar, and I've been playing since 3.2

[@vik12D]

Anything without a medbed or the option to bring a nursa isn't a good bunker runner.

[@Xander_Kai]

I'm looking at that Starlancer TAC now.. 😅

[@Alias_Reign]

Ok. So why would they change the redeemer from its stated role (heavy gun ship, high firepower low maneuverability) only to make the Paladin to fit the redeemers old role? Why not just make the Paladin fit that new role (heavy gunship lower firepower higher maneuverability)? Seems to me that people who pledged for a Redeemer because they wanted a ship that fit that role (the Paladins current role), got shafted. Everyone who owns the Redeemer should have a free option to exchange it for the Paladin (regardless of price difference). I don’t own either and this shit still annoys me, because I know it could happen to me in the future.

[@reverendzombie72]

Beds as escape pods is nothing new. The Constellation has had this exact same thing forever!

[@Fantastiie]

iam not see any positives to have to much shields that to many energy points are needed

[@partydemon2849]

uh don't know why but for some reason i want to pick one up. but i don't need it

[@dracoflame8780]

Crew beds being escape pods in not new. ... retaliator

[@sennemaa59769]

you can trust what they say... size 3 shield... here we go again.

[@Xander_Kai]

Lol right.. nothing is ever final and subject to change

[@THEMALBINO]

All questions are as useless and already answered. Kinda like thos video.

[@shiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz]

Forcing multicrew this hard but not having proper support for them like a small cargo grid for supplies or a med bed for bunker raiding is daft. Who tf are they making these ships for when lining up multi crew each session just isn't practical for their player base. Whilst not supporting multicrew gameplay properly when they are lined up. For multicrew warfare why wouldn't I just take a TAC instead? Medbed, scu storage, fury hangar, etc. Paladin is just wasted space behind a cool design. What a missed opportunity.

[@theg0z0n]

You haven't flown the paladin, y u speak about it
