I had the Vulkan, but I upgraded it to the Crucible, I have a lot of Capital ships and Crucible made more sense to support them. Also I expect the Crucible to get a huge price increase and possible size increase when finally in production.

[@gorgewashington1216]

for sure size and price ! like the carrack i hope !

[@ViciDeum]

Congrats on your upgrade! Honestly both are great ships and hard to go wrong with! But I suspect the Crucible will get the bigger price jump as well!

[@FrozenKnight21]

For combat scenerios the vulcan looks like the better option. But the crucible looks like it may be better for stratigic assults. For exMple you could use the crucible as a drop ship for your tanks. Leaving a repair bay behind for battlefields repairs. Where the vulcan cant do that. It really depends on how you plan to use the ship.

[@ViciDeum]

Yea it'll be really cool seeing how both pan out on release! I can definitely see good combat scenarios for both of them to excel!

[@maxxlr8tion578]

I really do think it comes down to use case, I think the Vulcan will shine in "local services", where as the Crucible is ideal for traveling as part of a fleet.

[@ViciDeum]

I'm inclined to agree, at least in fleets that can't dock a Vulcan internally!

[@basedsketch4133]

Crucible reminds me of the ARMD platforms from the 80s anime Robotech/Macross. I am in love with the workspace you deploy its like a landing craft

[@ViciDeum]

Its got such a retro sci fi vibe, I love the aesthetics too!

[@OgLockpin]

I'd have to give it to the crucible for being able to repair anything and still has the drones that the vulcan relies on. Best use case for the vulcan would be, emergency front line repairs. I'd want the crucible for everything else. Excellent video 👍

[@ViciDeum]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed this! And those are some good points about the Crucible; it can do virtually everything the Vulcan can, just in a much larger package!

[@bsquaredbundles]

I'm not much into repair, but the Crucible could double as a poor man's Liberator, or a pirate who offers to repair ships, then shoot the pilot and take the ship. I like the size and look of the vulcan and though I wish it had more cargo, I can still see it as a pretty good exploration or daily driver ship. After all it can fix itself and probably has fuel for days!

[@ViciDeum]

The poor mans Liberator haha, I like it! And that's a good point about self-repair with the Vulcan I hadn't even thought about!

[@Shawnsrumi]

I’ve Been bingeing you videos recently. The Vulcan is going to way bigger just based on how a lot of other early ship need to grow match the scope on their purpose

[@ViciDeum]

I'm glad you've been enjoying my content! And I agree, honestly both ships are bound to get quite an increase in size by release!

[@Tainted-Soul]

My thoughts are sticking a vulture in the Crucible fly to the needed customer repair them then use the vulture to regain materials from the none winners LOL to keep costs down and make I higher profit. but the dream of flying to someone's help feels a long wat off same goes with the Crucible and the Vulcan in regards to getting them in game

[@ViciDeum]

It's really cool having a ship that opens up a lot of cool interactions with other players in the verse! It's definitely an easy way to make friends!

[@Chase_The_Calm_Gaming]

Crucible will be an excellent support vehicle for racing as well. That's one of the reasons I got one and another is I'm going to need to repair my (solo) fleet up to a BMM and will be able to do pickups and ferrying and taking salvageable ships. Thinking about xenothreat $$$lol

[@ViciDeum]

That's a good point I hadn't even considered!

[@basedsketch4133]

Vulcan being a Aegis ship to me that makes it a tough nut to crack i also love Drake too for looks just this game has so many design philosophy in every brand.

[@ViciDeum]

They really nailed each manufacturers' styling down!

[@timothyt.82]

Having both in your fleet is the ideal, but thats just me.

[@ViciDeum]

When in doubt, why not both!

[@parkerxgps]

Almost hard to think about what ship could be between these, size wise. Well, not for me but, for many.

[@ViciDeum]

That's a good point! Or what other competitors from different manufacturers could look like!

[@taida_9105]

I go with the Vulcan, nimble well armored and one of the best utility vehicles of the verse. It may be not has the best shield but knowing that the drones can repair drones (and the ship it self) as long as someone with me i dont think i have anything to fear. . . well execpt ships capeable to kill me with a single shoot. 😅 The only thing i dont know is: where is the 4 size 2 at the front. 🤔

[@ViciDeum]

Congrats on your pickup! And yea I was wondering about the placement of those guns as well! And I think the Vulcan will be an amazing little support brawler in the verse, I can't wait to see it released!

[@slyguy752]

Could you please tell us where did you get these videos of these ships when they are not even in the game?

[@ViciDeum]

Checkout StarJump (link in the video description)! They have an awesome catalog of their own models for these!

[@S1L3NTSNA1L]

Got a feeling the majority of the repair systems for these 2 are gonna be beams as it's easier to code. I wonder how they will handle the drones

[@ViciDeum]

I suspect something similar, maybe with a few caveats and automated; but that's a great question!

[@Spelljammer1]

T0 repair will be beams, unfortunately, seeing how Salvage turned out. But I do believe drone gameplay is possible, they have the functioning flight/EVA system already so it is not so outlandish to make drones flyable.

[@DanielDavies347]

I have the Crucible, my org has a large fleet to support and the module will be invaluable for ground missions.

[@ViciDeum]

It's such a great support ship, congrats on your pickup!

[@davewills6121]

We have more chance of seeing the Orio/Endeavor in game than the Crucible, the Vulcan has at least a chance before 2025/6 and looks to be loads of fun .We will see

[@ViciDeum]

I could see a point for the Orion, but the Endeavor will be one of the very last ships released! But I agree, it’ll be a while before we see either of these two in the verse!

[@Jaleney]

I don't really feel they compare that well tbh, sure they serve the same purpose but the the Crucible can do things in a way a Vulcan can't and the Vulcan might do things in a way that doesn't really make sense for a Crucible to do. All in all I own a Crucible and think it's an essential part of every larger fleet whereas the Vulcan would just as essential in that same fleet working alongside it or servicing smaller fighter squadrons in something like a roaming fleet! I love them both dearly though, and much like the Starfarer these guys will make or break ships/battles.

[@ViciDeum]

Congrats on your pickups! These two are definitely different tiers of support ships, but I like this comparison given their roles. And I agree, especially in long-term engagements, support ships like this will be invaluable!

[@Zeoran]

I'm worried about the Vulcan. With what they've already said about the Polaris, they want a ship that refuels/rearms another to have external fuel & ammo to do it with. The Vulcan has no place to store these. And they've already covered with the Crucible, that they want repairs to need raw materials. So the Vulcan can likely only do very, very basic surface-level repairs. They're going to have to re-think the Vulcan or it's going to get massively nerfed. I own both ships though.

[@ViciDeum]

Those are great points, and I’m not sure what they’ll do with the Vulcan. But I trust CIG will find some creative solution or lore “workaround” to ensure it keeps its intended role!

[@Darktiger01]

Seems like a lot of praise for quite the terrrible scores xD

[@ViciDeum]

The scores aren’t bad, even if they look it haha. It’s not linear like a test, but more deviations from a standard. So a score of 12.5 would be average, or a ship that might just be specialized in one area but lacking in others!

[@Darktiger01]

@@ViciDeum i'm talking more about how you usually present the ships with very positive and grand word choices. It's more like a CIG ship commercial than a buyer's guide since the explaination of the ships seems to lack a lot of critic.

[@ViciDeum]

@@Darktiger01 Yea this one was a bit different as they’re both concepts and a bit harder to evaluate as objectively!

[@shrapnelface5978]

He's a tough judge with high expectations in quality.

[@jsandra860]

No way the vulcan stays that size with so much utility. It’s like packing all that stuff into a Ford Ranger when you need a fire truck. It will get at least twice as big. Look at the Starfarer, its 101 meters and only refuels. No way the Vulcan stays at 38.5 meters.

[@ViciDeum]

I agree, both ships will likely get bumps in size upon release!

[@unlicensed_camera]

Neither because they don't exist yet.

[@ViciDeum]

Everything started off as a concept at one point!

[@VonKrieg]

Unsure why you’re covering ships that don’t exist yet. Boredom I suppose.

[@ViciDeum]

I really enjoy all the SC ships, even concepts!
