Crusader Intrepid - First Impressions

[@jasonm2477]

I dont see this appealing to crusader fans, there's plenty of doors but they all go to different places rather than being arraned in a way that forces you to use every door every time you do anything

[@5000562]

As a Crusader fan, I'm genuinely disappointed by this ugly little ship. It seems like more of a hassle to use as well, especially if trying to load cargo given how low the turd sits.

[@clingmarbleprod]

​@@5000562 funny you say this. I actually fucking LOVE it. Sure I'd love it more if it was symmetrical, maybe a backdoor like the titan, but I'm excited to use it for small missions and roleplaying in

[@5000562]

@@clingmarbleprod I don't hate asymmetry, but they just made it way too huge and blocky. It doesn't fit the Crusader style at all. I also don't care too much about the small gun other than how funny it looks. It definitely seems like a starter cargo ship. Went from me buying it to an easy skip, sadly. Was hoping it wouldn't be so fat but uh well. Every manufactuerer needs their ugly ships.

⁠It’s funny a single s3 laser cannon took the same amount of space as the cockpit

[@theblinddriver8170]

As they say, crusader is a company that specilizing in doors that by complete chance it comes with spaceships attatched. And they want you to know what are there specilizion is lol

[@RonTaggart]

It has components on par with a cutter. It has worse weapons than the cutter. The cutter has similar, though spartan amenities. If this is more than $50, I don't see it doing well.

[@FreebirthBoccara]

I thought this thing would be anemic when I thought it had a s4 gun.. with single s3... it's worse then an aurora ln in combat...

[@aso6437]

I didn't think anything was worse than an Aurora in combat.

[@eltreum1]

Yeah, I immediately thought my Aurora or Cutter would tear this ship to pieces. It's not only underpowered it fragile. 1 S2 missile hit cleaved off its wing and thrusters on that side making it hard to control and had to run. Even my Aurora upgraded can grind me to HRTs. This ship can barely do VLRTs.

[@davewills148]

Who cares about stats, its a new toy to play with, i'll put one in my new Polaris

[@zeta4687]

@@aso6437 this one does is worse than aurora. it has worse dps, much bigger profile and only win aurora by 2 degrees in pitch and yaw, 2m/s in scm speed, 5m/s at boost i don't think it's worth sacrifice so much for that minus maneuverability

[@Baleur]

Worse than Aurora and twice as big for no reason what so ever. lol And looks awful.

[@ninefive0]

I feel like this was designed around a size 5 gun. The little size three just looks out of place.

[@CitizenScott]

Yeah man. Hopefully CIG figure that out because that would make this ship a big W. As it stands it's a big L.

[@HighmageDerin]

I think they're deliberately keeping the size of the gun down because this is supposed to be a starter ship. Though at a minimum they should have allowed this to be a size four since most other ships in the game that are considered starters can put size 2s on their hard points and they usually have 2 or more. They could have also gave it 2 additional missiles For a total of 4 instead of 2. Because let's face it I've never had a missile land on a target yet.....

[@Elidrys]

100% looks like that space was meant for a s4 not a s3. Too weak for what seems like a cool luxury starter. And just looks and feels wrong with that gun.

[@elvyynn]

Single ADB5 for a mini inferno?

[@ninefive0]

Sometimes I wonder why even put guns on a ship. I don’t have guns on my car. I’d rather have weakens shields and no guns in nav mode as a trade off than a worthless gun.

[@viktorgavorn4635]

I feel like a single size 4 wouldn't really break this ship, and would make it like a baby ion. I certainly don't think it would become a meta fighter by any stretch, but certainly VLRTs wouldnt be so daunting...

[@hanswurst9866]

It just received a size 4 gun

[@PaladinStem]

It has a nice hab space and some ok cargo. Feels a bit weak on combat but will probably be a good run around ship

[@jacobantis7014]

So it's a flying house? I keep forgetting how tiny starter cargo ship bays are.

[@CitizenScott]

Nomad exists. 315p too.

[@silascutnan]

The cargo split into two 1x4 rows certainly is interesting, but will create some frustrated sighs to be heard when looking at 2x2 4SCU box.. Interior looks very sleek!

[@dzunepwnsipod]

It's weaponry is on par with the mustang but far worse than an avenger. It's cargo is on par with the avenger. It's cross section is about the size of a nomad. It seems like it needs a buff somewhere. It's best attribute is on par with the Avenger(cargo). It doesn't have many components, it has a large cross section, and minimal weaponry. I can't really see a reason to get this over another starter, despite the fact that I've been looking forward to it.

[@CitizenScott]

1xs3 is not on par with Mustangs 2xS1 and 2xS2. Cargo is not on par with Avenger since it cant carry vehicles. It has all the issues of a 300 series but is otherwise worse in literally every way.

[@dzunepwnsipod]

@CitizenScott you can throw a pulse or 4 into the intrepid, but yes point taken. The lack of a single unified cargo area is a hamper on its utility, even if it can hold the same number of scu boxes.

[@Frank_Norman]

The weaponry is on par with Hull A, only slightly better. Even a Cutter has more firepower with dual S2.

[@dextercole1322]

Finally an upgrade to my cutter ... might be worse on paper but I like the design a lot

[@jamess405]

It’s and impressive looking ship considering it’s a starter but yeah that single gun is an interesting choice

[@nathanforrester5140]

I really wish it had a single size 4 gun. That would have helped it out. It is big for its class so will take more hits. Having a little more fire power would have allowed it to take down vlrt much faster. This ship will be great for off gr8d cargo. I besy you can get 20 to 25 scu on it all total.

[@scaife]

I like a lot about this ship but the low firepower is bizarre.

[@juliancain6128]

It's a strange duck for sure, but I really like the living area! Great vid LG, thx for staying up late to make it!

[@Stephenonmac]

The roomy interior makes me think it'll be a great exploring/touring ship for the price, although I was really hoping for a Nomad competitor with similar cargo/weapons. Design wise it doesn't jive with me; I think it's a little too asymmetrical. If the cockpit wasn't so far forward and the gun and cockpit didn't have such a gap between them I would like it more.

[@CitizenScott]

Forget the asymmetry. It absolutely should be a Nomad competitor, especially given its size. CIG do not know what they're doing.

[@MersageSW]

I wad hoping for a Crusader Nomad competitor too. If they add a size 4 or 5 gun and a few extra components, it could be.

[@njtm1989]

I needs a bigger gun if its going to have just a single weapon.

[@latch9781]

That or a bespoke S3 similar to the Nova's

[@drunit8122]

Function over form on this one for sure. I think its great, the amenities alone make it the best starter avail right now. I love how the cargo is split, 4 scu on one side and a pulse on the other AND a suit locker, come on!!!! I wonder if the cargo is shielded for smuggling? But it DEF needs a weapon size upgrade.

[@Rock-em-up]

Love the interior layout. Didn't think I'd much care for any starter until this came out.

[@davewills148]

Gorgeous little ship, excellent use of interior space, plenty of storage and aesthetics and quality of build just gets better, cant wait to see how this little beat will be rebalanced, rebalancing is life, and the Corsair/Redeemer are better ships for it. Would expect the paints to only improve the overall aesthetics. Equally, and not forgetting the ''Medical Terrapin'' i'll get one of those to complete my set, another toy to play with. Its all about indulgence, who needs OCD stats, the game is played for fun, not humdrum. Kudos

[@squantson]

Very nice, @loudguns! I fancy the design a lot. Even the view from the top. The gold standard treatment is so nice but even then it'll wanna be cheap compared to the Avenger which is stronger, faster, more flexible cargo grid and space for bigger vehicles and well over double the weapon potency. I'm keen to find out what advantage (if any) is given to yaw rates with the vtol thrusters in the horizontal (retracted?) position. I wonder if they give a big boost.

[@Accuracy158]

I don't really like the split storage solution. It's already an asymmetrical ship so why put the engineering in the center with matching drop downs on either side? I would have just combined them together and put the engineering panel on one side or the other. It also seems rather large for one size 1 shield (Is this correct?). Definitely not a combat ship if this is correct. I guess this is true of the C1 also though, trading out combat for speed and other perks. I'm kind of assuming this wouldn't cost more than a 315p which is $65 but more than the Cutter's $45 price. I'm guessing it might come out right at that $60 mark matching the Titan exactly.

[@CitizenScott]

I'm honestly sick of hearing people claim Crusader ships are underspec'd because they have speed. They aren't. They don't.

[@Accuracy158]

@CitizenScott Yeah watch Marcus Wynn's video of the intrepid. It pulls Gs like an arrow at the moment. (I do tend to think it might get nerfed a bit in this department though. ) 🤣

[@CitizenScott]

[@shawnc5188]

Reckon CIG could place the Intrepid as a premium beginner starter, around the price of the Cutter. It would appeal to new players a lot more than the dated Aurora/Mustang, and if they released a Warbond CCU, a lot of players with those starter ships would just upgrade.

[@Kiwi_Dave]

Unless you want vehicles which are unless anyway Intrepid is all the ship you need for a very long time. Get this and any other ship you want can be obtained in game.

[@S7upidity]

ok it could be really good with 2 minor changes; Either a much bigger capacitor for the s3 gun or a s5 gun with the current capacitor. Shield the cargo. It's fully enclosed so make it shielded and all of a sudden you have a starter smuggler ship

[@a.plipps]

Looking at it from a gameplay perspective, it definitely fits into an explorer/small cargo hauler role quite well especially if the ship is faster than other starters. The comparison of this ship against an avenger titan is relatively justified if we *only* look at Stat vs Stat. But i feel like that's extremely unfair, as intrepid is ALSO perfect as a solo mobile base because of the complete personal hab: Bed, shower, storage, massive armory. Avenger titan is definitely more of the space fighter that was retrofitted to be a small cargo hauler, but it sucks as a mobile base. There's practically nothing amenities-wise that would help you stay out in the verse without the need to stop by some rest stop. Definitely gonna pick this ship up cause it fits more of my playstyle!

[@blunda1501]

Pretty on the inside, ugly af on the outside. massivly undergunned but with good speed and handling. I bet they charge $90 for it.

[@LoudGuns]

@@blunda1501 haha definitely a marmite ship! I’d hope for a chunk less - at $90 just buy a nomad!

[@rooster1012]

No this will be the yearly IAE starter pack for $45 just like the Cutter was.

[@Ravenclaw-ql6kk]

I am really considering melting my MSR for a Zeus, so this seems like a fun little upgrade to my Cutter for box delivery missions while still keeping a nice Crusader ship. I don't really care too much about the firepower, I would just get a fighter if I am doing a combat mission.

[@Sealreth]

Looks like a fun courier ship :) maybe if we could replace the gun with a tractor beam could be funny

[@kindledashling3610]

This looks like a homeworld 2 interceptor. Why only one gun. This hurts the ship viability.

[@Frank_Norman]

When I saw the early info about Intrepid I thought: If they give it a size 5 gun it might be a decent Titan competitor, but it will probably be only size 4... Size 3 then... I feel mightier in my Cutter than ever before. :D The bright (and IMO the more imortant) side: It seems CIG was again able to avoid power creep with new starter ships. Now they should apply it to new specialized ships as well and we will have decently balanced game.

[@icewyrm.]

After some testing in PTU, I would definitely not recommend an intrepid for ultra-light cargo hauling in it's current state. On-grid cargo is more annoying to load than it's starter competitors, and off grid cargo is super awkward due to a number of specific internal design decisions that slow down loading/unloading the process tremendously. The internals of the ship are also pretty glitchy right now in terms of boundaries and collisions, so any movement of boxes inside the ship risks them clipping through the hull into space (or the floor of your hangar). 8 SCU is also a bit too small for a number of the lowest rep hauling level contracts, which require 9 SCU minimum of haul space. I would argue that at present, the best use case of the intrepid is a space uber, like a big Pisces with more room for passengers.

[@centermassgamer323]

I don’t think this will replace my cutter, since I like the ability to carry vehicles, but I do like this ship, especially the interior.

[@MountainSnowInc]

Callin it now, it will get a bespoke size 4 gun after 1.0. Possibly an FL-44*

[@fathead8933]

I'm thinking variants. All the other starters have multiple variants. I think we just tested either the cargo, i dont really think so, or the pathfinder. Which would make more sense because sensor package needed could make it hard to put a bigger gun in.

[@talonsyn]

I like the interior, could of used a moonroof in the habitation area though and less doors. I don't understand why so many doors in a solo ship, besides Crusader. I can't see this being over $60. If its over $60 standalone its a hard pass for me. To me this should fall in the real starter range, maybe $45-50ish. The 315P just outclasses it and has a nice (and customizable) interior, 12 SCU cargo, a tractor beam in the front and 2 size 3 guns on the wings. Plus higher number of components (2 size 1 shield and coolers vs 1 each on intrepid). There is no way I'd pick this ship over a 315P if its close to the same price, or more. 315P is $65 standalone right now.. I think its my 1st ship iirc, still love it and use it all the time.

[@creakyninj4]

I swear that my 5 year old grandson made this exact ship with his LEGO

[@malcolmlee5499]

If the cockpit and gun were situated at the same length, with an aerodynamic fender inbetween them, as well as a single size 5 gun, this would be an attractive alternative the Titan. Alas, the Titan iss till the best starter ship.

[@Luciphell]

It's like an Avenger Titan, only the amenities were turned up and the lethality was dialed way down. Can't wait to buy one! (with aUEC)

[@Edukacyjny_pa-troll]

Thats what i thought when I saw intrepid - Crusader Marmite

[@ParanoidCarrot]

swap the gun with a banu defender singe 3 XD to role play Ares ion

[@Mike5Brown]

Make it a S4 weapon and I will be very interested in it, but that S3 is just too small. I can see it being around $60 with the titan.

[@CitizenScott]

Been hearing this alot today but 1xS4 is also wildy weak. The Titan and 325a both get 1xS4 and 2xS3. 1xS4 is almost no better than 1xS3. Now 1xS5 is a different story...

[@Oritsuru65]

Unless they have variants planned for it at launch and they just are showing off the "base" model, I dont see why you wouldn't just get a avenger titan. Now if there's a variant that gives it a size 5 to fit that redic massive hole, some more missiles, at the cost of cargo capacity like the 325a, maybe there will be more interest.

[@CitizenScott]

Should just have a 1xS5 and 16SCU to begin with. That would make it a more combat oriented Nomad competitor. As is it's a nothing competitor and nobody's going to fly it long term.

[@DeltaPhoenix180]

Best I can tell, the 315P and Avenger Titan that i would normally say compete in the role of courier ship had their ranges massively nerfed with the last changes to quantum travel. The Intrepid now fills in where the other ships did :/

[@rikodefriko4922]

i've never instantly wanted a ship so bad lol, when dose it come out

[@yobizzyb]

are you high? lol each to their own hehe

[@findingretirement6649]

Like most of CIG's ships this one has me liking it and hating it at the same time. My biggest issue is the limited cargo and it's not necessarily the 8 SCU limit. It can obviously carry a Mirai Pulse in each hold and should be able to take the Ranger series of bikes but according to the current published width and height of 2 meters the Rangers are to wide and tall but those dimensions are clearly inaccurate based on the scale of the pictured vehicle. It would have made for sense to have the back part of the ship where the cargo hold are retract to give better access to the cargo holds and as far as interior height goes it looks like they could have easily doubled the cargo carrying capacity by going two boxes in height. So if you take a pulse along you are down to 4 SCU which is equal to the base Cutter but at least with the cutter you have more room for additional boxes and or ground transportation if you want. I like the Intrepid overall but this one is a no go for my fleet.

[@BigOlBearKing]

I wouldn't care about the S3 gun or the extra ship size, if they had thrown a S2 Q Drive on there. Then it would be perfect as a low firepower courier.

[@aso6437]

Seriously a nice ship, but it needs guns very good starter ship but also a ship that is going to run when it sees a fight coming.

[@Unseeingfire]

Looks like a fighter from Homeworld.

[@DaGhostToast]

The concept art showed a much larger gun. They downsized it without balancing the ship around the smaller armament. And I mean that in terms of gameplay as much as the visuals. I could look past that if it had some kind of strength in terms of components but it doesnt. Nor in cargo capacity. It has good speed but so does the avenger. I dont think a suit locker and weapon rack make up for its shortcomings unless its a $40 or $45 ship

[@feral1021]

The same cargo as the Titan or 300i, but with weapons that might compare to a Pisces. I think it should be around $55-60. I think it is great, but needs a S4 gun.

[@Noizemaze]

It's a neat little guy that i think a lot of people are writing off because of the weapon loadout if not the look

[@LoudGuns]

@@Noizemaze yeah absolutely - lover not a fighter in my book!

[@MrDecelles]

That gun loadout is a joke.

[@Accuracy158]

It seems big. Not a little Pisces type of ship but I guess that's expected when you have a kitchen, engineering, and etc.

[@CitizenScott]

People are writing it off because of everything about it TBH.

[@DeltaPhoenix180]

It's not meant to be a combat ship and that's fine, they need less concentration on those anyway. The issue is that in terms of a courier ship, which this seems to be, you already have the 315P, 350R, and Avenger Titan that all exceed the Intrepid in some combination of carrying capacity, speed, or combat capability. Even if this carries more fuel (which I need to check the 315p again), it's limited to max 2 SCU crates, travels slower, and has less defensive firepower than... literally any other ship in the game? Note: Ughhh, just checked and they nerfed the hell out of the 315p fuel capacity, because of course.

[@asog88]

I love this ship. My wife loves this ship. It IS kind of “two headed monster” kind of ugly, but it’s just interesting and different. If it didn’t look kind of odd it would just be a 300i. But I can’t say it enough, they need to upsize that gun by 1 or 2 before releasing. Size 5 is best, but size 4 will do.

[@williamlewis1805]

I love A symmetry but this is weird! Flat top, little weird “fins” But I’m function over form and this has that!

[@LoudGuns]

It’s honestly such an odd duck, but I liked it to begin with and it just grew on me the whole time!

[@CitizenScott]

What function? 1xS3 so no real combat. 8SCU so no real cargo. Tiny lifts so no vehicles. It's all "form" and that form is ugly.

[@MersageSW]

I agree, I don't see the function compared to other ships in its class.

[@bamtoday]

With a S4 update this ship will like be $65. Not the best starter, but worth considering as a cheap shuttle.

[@rookmorrigan8379]

I would actually put this at $45 as while it can carry as much cargo as the Avenger, and has one of the best interiors. It has the weakest armament of any starter.

[@Storm-Cleaver]

Stat-wise, the Intrepid is a $40-45 starter ship. It has an amazingly well-designed interior... and that's it. Stat-wise, it's lacklustre. Component-wise, it's barely comparable to an Aurora. Weapon wise, it's not comparable to anything except the C8R Pisces until weapon size matters for armour penetration. And it is just fucking ugly. It doesn't look like a Crusder ship. It looks like someone imported a shitty model from some 90's Wing Commander knockoff into blender and applied Ares textures to parts of it. There are _some_ Crusader ships that have _some_ hull asymmetry, the Ares and the Mercury. That's it. And _all_ Crusader ships have their engines and cockpits aligned with the ship's centre line. A the moment, I have one of every Crusader ship line. Including the Genesis. Once the Intrepid launches... it'll be a hard pass from me.

Its a shame the Intepid feels like it was meant to have its own custom gun like an ION something like a size 4 version of the ions gun.

[@Baleur]

Awesome video. And i hate being a negative andy. But good GRIEF the Intrepid looks derpy and stupid. I get the asymmetry, it works for the Ares which looks awesome. But this just looks beyond stupid. Why is there such an enormous gap between cockpit and gun? If the cockpit was centered they could have copy pasted the gun to the other side as well... Twice the dps for no loss. Powerplant too weak? Then make them ballistic guns. The current design makes NO sense. And its not even rule of cool, because it looks the opposite of cool. Asymmetry is cool and striking when it makes sense and has a purpose. Like the Ares with its huge gun without becoming too tall (if it was mounted above of below cockpit) to still fit in carrier hangars, or the Caterpillar due to it being a detachable escape craft. But this is just asymmetry for asymmetrys sake. Which is stupid and shallow. The Intrepid could have been 30% less wide if the gap between cockpit and gun was removed. And you know why they didnt do that right? Why they opted for a more stupid design? To avoid having it look too similar to the Ares. Why, just why.

I am starting to feel that they have made too many compromises and have shoe-horned what they do have to fit a specific size and style.

[@NotWinzen]

I looked at this thing and my first thought was that they should have called this thing the Crusader Decrepit instead, thing is insanely ugly and component wise it's also bad.

[@FDF-i6z]

Great review! One of the worsts ship design that I see in a long time!

@@FDF-i6z haha, life would be dull if we all liked the same things!

Really not a fan of the asymmetric look and the interior is like they asked what people would like but arranged in the weirdest way possible. I do like the cargo pods but it feels like it doesnt hold all that much, they probably could have safely doubled the cargo. Also, with the way they designed the ship, thay size 3 gun looks way too small, should be at least a size 4. I have a feeling they will still try to charger $80 US for this ship, in the same category as the Raileen and Nomad. Though I think the Nomad is probably still superior, but no one has really said what (or if) the Nomad does anything better than the other starters, like range or speed.

@@MidKnight2142 I’m currently nearly done on a cargo hauling guide and honestly it’s changed my view almost entirely on the nomad. You can make really good money in that thing at level 4 (250-300K or so an hour). It’s that next level of cargo capacity that really sets it apart.

[@MidKnight2142]

@LoudGuns Agreed, and even if you want to stuff a ROC in the back, you can. Unless that's changed lol. Also I too keep a Pisces around for short hops. However the reason I have a Pisces is because you can call it from ground terminals. So if I somehow get stranded I can just get it from almost anywhere...again unless they changed that lol.

[@FuzzyHuman]

I like it! 😊

[@callsigngrimdoll]

It's NOT a combat ship kids. Please stop trying to put big or more guns on everything.

[@Nemoticon]

CIG's standard is so much higher than this... this is not a well thought through or a well finished ship. Forget the asymmetry or Crusader's design language, the Intrepid feels like it comes from a lesser game, from a prior generation. How CIG let this one slip through the net, I have no idea. Someone messed up with this one. Very disappointing considering recent ships and the standard and quality we've come to know from Star Citizen. Both the Arurora and Mustang are better ships, Intrepid better NOT be more thean $45. I could not recommend this to anyone, it's not even a worthy ship for an NPC.

[@Opethfan79]

I am a Crusader fanboy but that might be fading away to RSI. I am sorry but man this thing is just too ugly for me. We should leave asymmetrical ships to Drake. I can't even stand to look at it from the top. I don't own a Aries or Ion and won't be buying this thing ever. Not even with in game money. I think I might just get a crime stat every time I run into one of these. My new game loop. Hunt ugly ships lol.

[@Jezato]

Now i really want to see a Crusader Light/medium/heavy fighter to rival the Arrow, Hornet and Vanguard.

[@farfouine87]

So much wasted space, only 8scu, only one S3 gun. And this thing is massive. Very bad design imo.

[@ricksekersky961]

Nice ship

[@mattsully5332]

I'd guess 80-90 so that people with a titan can upgrade to this one

[@kennethjensen730]

Absolutely useless ship 🤣 i have no idea how cig wanna go about actually making SC a game, but tbh, who would even use a startership 2 days after release. Even new players, its useless, cant make any money or progress really, NO point in them when its probably gonna be piss easy to upgrade to a, lets say cutlass or c1 or even bigger.

[@icewyrm.]

Making credits is going to become increasingly more difficult, and ship prices are going to keep going up. My guess is that CIG is aiming for several weeks of grinding for your first upgrade past starter by the time they get to some sort of release candidate stage.

God it's ugly
