The RSI Zeus Mk II CL in Star Citizen is a medium-sized freight ship developed by Roberts Space Industries. It pays homage to the original Zeus series, humanity's first spacecraft designed for deep space travel in 2140. The Mk II CL variant specializes in commerce. It features 128 SCU of cargo capacity and is equipped with a tractor beam to manage large freight, making it ideal for players focused on cargo transportation.
The ship measures 45.7 meters in length, 34.3 meters in width, and 8 meters in height. It's designed to be operated by a crew of 1 to 3 people, offering both versatility and utility for solo or small-team cargo runs.
The Greycat ROC (Remote Ore Collector) is a ground vehicle in Star Citizen designed for mining small mineral deposits. It's equipped with a mining laser and has a storage capacity for mined materials. The ROC is ideal for solo mining operations on planetary surfaces and moons, offering an accessible way for players to gather valuable resources.

Do you think that they should increase the payout a bit more?

[@splaff666]

I upgraded the zeus to the starlancer and i don't regret it :) gonna buy a c-1 in game as a daily driver.

[@zirHazeGaming]

The C-1 is awesome! You are going to love it! How are you liking the Starlancer?

[@matthewkaye722]

Yea i missed the starlancer sale and gutted about it. They usually put all last years sales on in the chines new year so will.wait and see. Still hoping to see the Hull B soon too! 380 SCU in a ship the size of the zeus is crazy!

[@SaschaTKL]

​@@matthewkaye722 u can upgrade a Ship to the Terrapin Medic Wandbond (actually available) and buy for 10 Dollars an Upgrade to the Starlancer. Thats what i did a few days ago. For me it was Zeus ES - Terrapin Medic Wandbond - Starlancer Max. So u'll save some money. I think for me i've paid only 180 for the SL and saved around 50 bucks. (sry for bad english😅)

[@splaff666]

Oh I had the c-1 before the Zeus lol the starlancer is a good ship I take it roc mining in pyro 😁​@@zirHazeGaming

[@Cricket38585]

Great vid. You do know that the Zeus has a arm in the back that can move your cargo from hanger to your ship don't you? You may like using the Atls though to move your stuff.

[@zirHazeGaming]

Yeap! I know. Love the ATLS 😅

[@IanMartinAdams]

I’ve got a ccu chain up to the arrastra and currently up to star lancer max and its great for hauling

[@jlarry1]

The Starlancer Max didn't intrigue me much at all at first glance. The Starlancer TAC however I purchased on the spot. As the Max began getting featured in videos to rave reviews, I decided to pick it up as well. It is now my favorite ship, and I use it even over my Constellation in most cases. It is so versatile with a garage that doesn't step on cargo capacity, great shields, good firepower, and even maneuver's surprisingly well for it's size.

[@zirHazeGaming]

It really is a great ship. It’s def going to be my next ship!

[@matthewkaye722]

Im still Hoping the Hull B comes soon. 380 scu in ship the size of the zeus is crazy!

[@papascronch]

i turned my CL into the starlancer myself, then went back and got another ccu to a zeus ES. after flying it, i like the hell out of the zeus as a bunker runner/ daily driver, but its the actual first time i've ever thought the cargo grid was a liability on a ship. the grid on the CL is just not atlas friendly imo. starlancer is just superior for cargo in all metrics, holds more, atlas can be in it without compromising grid, not even that much slower. Zeus on the other hand is too nice to give up for everything else :P

[@zirHazeGaming]

Yea, the grid in the Zeus is a struggle.

[@JayNut_001]

I do mainly cargbo hauling so I have different ships depending on how much time and how relaxed I want to play. I got my C1 as a daily driver, has the right amount of cargo and is super easy to load ... other than the Zeus in my opinion. Got the Starlancer as well for bigger hauls and when I need to be really safe, that ship is like a tank and flies like one too

[@zirHazeGaming]

Im starting to lean into buying the Starlancer Max. Been hearing only good things 😅

[@JayNut_001]

@@zirHazeGaming It´s an awesome ship imo, a lot of cargo, a lot of space and it really feels like a space truck ... what means it´s pretty slow XD I like to have a hauler for every size of missions, so it´s a nice jump from the C1s 64 SCU ... maybe I will get the Raft for in between ^^. I love cargo haulers where I don´t neet to really think about what fits inside ... like the Zeus is not bad, but with the 5x3 cargo grid size it´s not really "load and forget".

[@Gpower441]

For me like every 1 in the 5 of the contract work. Most of time no cargos for me to hual or elevator just don't want the cargo I delivered And for improvement I really really want we can open/close our cargo door and call our elevator up/down in our mobiglas glass. Remote control do excit right?

[@zirHazeGaming]

It would be awesome if we could control remote those things, yes!

[@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229]

I'll have to try using the Atls instead of my Constellation Taurus's tractor beam. The ship's beam is hard to position the boxes perfectly because you are working at a distance.

[@zirHazeGaming]

The ATLS is definitely the way to go for precision cargo loading! I’ve been using it more and more.

[@zantrag]

I love the storage space and interior of the Starlancer, but... Beware the ship is excessively slow, and very sluggish. Quite risky.

[@zirHazeGaming]

Yeah, I agree, it's a slowpoke 😂

[@dragonchild_SC]

I melted my 400i to get a Starlancer as I really liked the look of the Starlancer. Cargo capacity is very good and also got a nice interior. However, I found the ship a bit too sluggish and the cockpit view is even worse then the Freelancer MAX. Jut my opinion. In the end I melted the ship and got the Zeus CL instead. I think it is a perfect ship for solo play and it handles quite well - even in atmo. I like the "what has changed" videos, as I currently do not have the time to test everything myself. Keep it up.

[@zirHazeGaming]

Yea, I agree that it’s a bit sluggish. I just fell in love with the bridge outside of the bad cockpit view 😅 and Thank you!!!

[@dysongibson4936]

I like the Starlancer it has a great amount of cargo space and is really easy to load

[@zirHazeGaming]

Awesome! Yea, I really loved the space when ai tried it out during the IAE!

[@HiveFleetKronos40K]

i don't expect cargo hauling to be the most exciting gameplay loop, but loading and unloading boxes is very dull. i don't think anyone should have to spend either basically £40 irl or 75600 in game for an atls to make it bearable. especially if you're someone who's either starting off in a smaller ship that can't fit the atls in, or you're in a medium ship where some missions might take up all your space

[@zirHazeGaming]

Fair!

[@timteeling7348]

I have both ships Zeus and Starlancer Max. I prefer the Starlancer due to its ease of loading and unloading. The Zeus for me was not easy to load/unload. The cargo area was confining.

[@zirHazeGaming]

I 💯 agree with this!

[@biolazer]

You can do 64 scu in this ship if you try to do the 128 you'll be taking like 1 hour to play the mini game of trying to get things unstuck and through the door

[@zirHazeGaming]

I 💯agree with this. Small 64 scu chained cargo missions work best with this ship.

[@biolazer]

@zirHazeGaming yea lol 🤣 it's like having a c2

[@aso6437]

I was doing cargo until I made enough cash to buy a vulture, Although I think I want to get a Hull A next to do more Cargo.. I enjoyed it, even if about a third of the jobs would not complete..

[@zirHazeGaming]

Woah! How long did it take you to make that much UEC?

[@aso6437]

@@zirHazeGaming Longer than it should have, maybe a week have issues with the game so I don't always get to play. and the hull A is only 1.7mil..64 SCU's Unless I get a good handle on salvage and jump straight to a C1 spirit..

[@NollieFlipX]

Am I the only one who thinks the game should get rid of those portable tractor beams in favor or the player / helper bots / vehicle / something more credible transporting cargo to the ship? Maybe only have beams inside the ship storage space. Idk, it just feels too much "game" ("gamish? gamey?") and feels like it contrasts with the game for some reason. It would be more interesting to have a line of transport vehicles like the ones in Amazon's werehouse deliver the cargo to your ship's door, and with the mech you get to carry and secure cargo inside your ship's cargo bay.

[@marcohorodnichev9489]

I think that the weight limit should be MUCH lower that it is right now. They did implement it already, but the difference is just too little to really change your gameplay based on what you're doing.

[@zirHazeGaming]

Bots or drones for sure! Just need options to automate.

[@genius4366]

I also wish they would remove tractor beams.

[@marcohorodnichev9489]

@ maybe not remove, but limit. I don't think that the multitool should move more than 1-2 scus. The rifle may move 4-8. The rest needs more power.

[@reverendzombie72]

What did I do when I saw the Starlancer Max? 🤢

[@zirHazeGaming]

😂 man

[@reverendzombie72]

@@zirHazeGaming The Zeus is a much better looking ship.

[@IanMartinAdams]

ATLS isn’t worth it right now. Just a death trap

[@Joao_Pereira89]

Keep the zeus and buy the starlancer. starlancer is very nice but slow as hell..

[@zirHazeGaming]

I think this what I’m going to end up doing 🙌🏽
