FYI: If any stats change on this or the ES - a new review will be made once the ship is live. I love making these videos so expect it for all ships that get changes in patches! ;)

[@TheLobstersoup]

In the MSR they would just have to expand the small elevator to go to the ground. I always wondered why they didn't choose that option.

[@JayEhch85]

The Msr feels like CiGs unloved stepchild

[@dergiftige7749]

And how fast can you pump out this videos, i mean you are 1 of 2 youtubers that did a review and yours is way better in terms of editing and quality ❤

[@orlandofendy2832]

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some are considered to be unnatural...

[@MeatSalad84]

I love how you didn't want to give up on the bathroom door because you knew the second you walked away it would open lol

[@Starrshade]

The Zeus series have been my favorite ship since concept. It looks amazing, it feels amazing to fly, and just hits a spot that no other ship has really hit. It feels and looks like a ship we would actually make IRL

[@midnightfender]

Yeah the Zeus CL...the worse Freelancer Max in maneuvering, nav speed, damage, ease of use.....

[@Starrshade]

@@midnightfender Your opinion just like how that is my opinion. I never liked how the freelancers felt when flying them. Everyone is so concerned about raw stats on Erkul. Not every ship needs to put out a lot of DPS. I would just get a combat ship if I want combat. If I wanted dedicated Hauling. I'd get my C2. Ships have to have downsides or everyone will just choose it because it's "meta" Edit: If you wanted to get technical about it. The Zeus pitch and yaw is off by one. It is faster by 3. It has more Gun DPS, but less Missile DPS. It has more Hull HP and more Shield HP. Zeus has a better view from the cockpit. The CL also has 8 more cargo than the MAX by 8. The MAX can carry an URSA (or NURSA if you need it) while the Zeus can't. Not everyone wants or needs to carry a NURSA. So if we are going based off raw stats. The Zeus is better. Even if by a little. Are all these subject to change? Yes. Could the freelancer become better down the road yes?

[@midnightfender]

@@Starrshade It has nothing to do with erkul its a worse ship to its direct compotators. Not equal, not upgrade...straight worse...its cargo is amazing hard to use ESPECIALLY with its own tractor beam, damage wise (not being a combat ship but more of a multi role with specialized variants) it loses to everything own to a cutter.

[@jch1386]

Such stunning ships. I wish they could take the time to polish up other ships, based on popularity, to bring them up to the standards of this. Imagine a Starfarer with this level of polish. Or a Carrack.

[@Victini0510]

I was super hesitant with the Zeus ships. Admittedly, I was super hyped for the Spirits and was let down by their overall implementation. I hold out hope that they will be redeemed with atmospheric flight, but I digress. I love RSI. My first ship was an Aurora, and the second I saw a Constellation Andromeda I had to have one. It was the symbol of Star Citizen. The Zeus had me pretty salty that it essentially replaced the new ship I was so hyped for and disappointed by. HOWEVER, seeing this review has completely changed my opinion on this ship. Sorry to say Spirits, this is much closer to my vision to what I wanted the Spirit to be: a sleek and functional daily driver. I really love that sleek vibe you mention, it feels so good. I was predicting the compartments of the ship at points based on how I might have placed them. When you entered the cockpit, I immediately thought "please let there be a gun rack", and you turned around to the most glorious cockpit gunrack I've ever seen. That was the second I was instantly sold. I am sorry C1 Spirit. My love for you is true, though scarred. I will return when you are better.

[@BruBrusmayhem]

That's what i love about SC. There's ships for everybody and we won't be running the same ships ! I have both, a C1 Spirit and a Zeus CL. The more I watch the reviews and reveals, the more I am gonna melt or upgrade the Zeus and keep the Spirit.. I'm just not a fan of the design/proportions of the Zeus although the interior layout is a bit superior probably. But I'm a Crusader fan, with all their quirks and all. To each their own , and I love that about SC !

[@asheliagaming]

@@BruBrusmayhem Thanks for that comparison, I am still fairly new to SC and wanting to step up from my starter to a medium, and been hesitating between the C1 and the upcoming Zeus CL. I see advantages in both, but I am leaning most towards the Spirit. Even if the single exit does kinda bug me, and the pilot's view on the Zeus appears better. I just love the Crusader interior, and the less cramped living quarters. (wish I could try them ingame, but the rent cost is a bit high to a new player)

[@ONI09100]

i like how its not just smooth panels

[@samgau2]

As a Warning for cargo hauling. The cargo grind is 8 x 5 x 3. That mean that most of your cargo can't be at least 4x4. So until we can choose what box we get on cargo hauling mission. You wont be able to use your full 126 cargo grind. Good review I also ear the tractor beam is hard to use because it too close. But I didn't try it yet.

[@Deez276]

Contrary to what CIG has these ships listed as, they are small cargo haulers. The C2 is going to be for medium hauls. Using the ships in this manner will allow you to stack multiple missions in one run. IRL trucks running up and down the highway aren’t stacked to the ceiling with their loads. Using the whole grid on your ship every time is not necessarily realistic.

[@samgau2]

@@Deez276 going with that idea. Us a a starship driver should not touch the cargo and manage box in the cargo hold. We should park and wait to be filled.

[@Deez276]

@@samgau2It depends on what kind of trucking you’re doing. At my current job (LTL/P&D) I touch freight all day. When I was long haul I didn’t. I don’t think the guys driving Hull C and above should be loading their ships.

[@asheliagaming]

Doesn't the arm make it far more flexible to use compared to for example the Spirit's tractor beam?

[@MarkMcVann]

I was on the fence about the Zeus but your enthusiasm is contagious xD

[@markibod1636]

I'm super hyped for the CL - it looks incredible! Thanks for the walkthrough - I'm even more hyped for it now!!

[@xinleitang6734]

man that was fast, I really needed a fast review to see if I need to buy the upgrade back. thanks!!!

[@HALOCRAFT3568]

Thank you for all your reviews!! Can't believe how fast you pumped this one out.

[@solomonmitchell6048]

This can a be a good year for Star citizen, and I'm really optimistic about that!!

[@dennisthehazarddb1095]

She is an real Beauty. The RSI Styleguide looks very Good! iam waiting for the ZEUS MR and the Bountyhunter Gameplay TIER 2. Nice Review. you are doing a good Job!

[@BDA1137]

I don't have one. But I have a Freelancer Max, which I still prefer aesthetically. It is very clear that CGI thread the needle very carefully to make this ship pretty much the equal of the MAX, without making the MAX obsolete.

[@JL-rj9fl]

Exactly, the MAX is the vehicle hauler of the group and the trade off is no built in tractor beam. I think that's a great balancing factor. Of the two, I prefer the flexibility of the MAX.

[@UNBE4R4BLE]

Looks great, beautiful compact sleek ship and well designed, but for a little more the Taurus offers a lot more currently

[@evanelevan]

Always excited to watch videos from this channel. I never really cared for RSI just because I don’t like all the logos plastered everywhere, but this ship really caught my eye. This is the first ship I’ve seen in a while that is the perfect match of function and form. Gorgeous ship, excited to get my own.

[@Pontiuspilotus-jj4wq]

I cannot say that the new fuel indicators are an improvement. Miss the bar displays.

[@Hotsaucerubbdown23]

Such a good video man, I was waiting so long to actually get a good look at this thing. Thank you 🙏

[@skullhqx]

Thanks EvenLease (you must do an explanation vid regarding your YT name man!), for bringing us the best Zeus CL video to date in such a short time window. Some have tried but fell short of what you delivered. I was eager to see the storage grid dimensions and tractor beam arm. It is very good the CL can indeed carry 96 SCU of 4x4 box sizes. Nowadays I look at that 4x4 metric more than pure cargo capacity. So for me the Taurus is a 112 SCU hauler, haha! Would love to know what the jump range is on the CL and ES with an XL-1 quantum drive. We’ll find out soon enough but I can’t wait until CIG releases this in Live. Cheers o7

[@jedi_drifter2988]

I've had a CCU from the C1 to CL since the concept sale ... a very nice ship and I really like the bottom turret that can target 360 °

[@anthonyrjoyce]

Thanks for the review/preview of the CL. That interior is great. I'd be excited to see that ladder/airlock on the MSR.

[@gaymergirl6707]

I've never held back on watching a video more. Updating the PTU so I can see my new ship for myself, then I'll be back Damn, you're fast

[@HiLander2006]

Bought a Clipper when they launched. So happy to see it now in person 😍

[@FoxVelox222]

I'm stuck at work and love you got this out so I can see the ship before I get home.

[@lunasakara7306]

There's my spicy cool ranch Dorito.

[@Ryltar81]

This ship is amazing, the level of details they put in it is incredible!

[@Squirrelking187]

It’s a good day when Evenlease posts another ship review.

[@klikk99]

Literally the only ship I have ever, and probably will ever, get with real money at the concept phase - and looking like I won't regret it, ship looks exactly how great I was expecting

[@dadanno]

The bottom turret just screams "COMMENT THE ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT!!!"

[@fg1110]

The Devs that work in this department are amazing

[@TheThorJunki]

Absolutely love the Zeus series and can't wait to fly my ES and CL in the live verse 🔥

[@Nick-y6j]

Hey man! you are on it this morning been looking forward to this since I’ve caught up on your reviews

[@bulleramix7434]

Thanks for the quick review!

[@drabheart9426]

They made such a sleek aerodynamic profile for such a slow 🐌

[@GlacyMorpho]

I love the zeus' so much ive been waiting forever for them

[@CMDR_MURR]

Nice! Was wondering how quick you'd manage to get this out. Great review ❤

[@CMDR_MURR]

Glad I'm not the only one with that bathroom issue 😂 10:09

[@skepticalpianist3266]

its a little saddening that this ultra wide ship can't fit vehicles it has space for just cause the doorway is too slim..

[@EvenLease44]

I absolutely agree! They probably did that so it didn’t power creep older ships too much.

[@NegativeProcess]

The Tumblr cyclone at least fits, and we have grav bikes. I wonder if the ground mining vehicles fit

[@arcturus960]

She looks beautiful though

[@EvenLease44]

The ROC does fit in the rear.

[@cygnus6623]

Thank you for your review of the CL. I got an ES as soon as it came available and looking forward to seeing it soon! I thought about getting the CL, but decided to buy back the Taurus that I had melted some time ago...for $150. Being as everyone has said it is slow, I'll keep my C1 for smaller cargo and Taurus for medium. Thanks again!

[@Soundwavesghost]

Glad they have gotten it to a more stable ready for release state as its the first exclusive for the newer studio. Hopefully this frees them up to start working on our older beloved ships as well.

[@louhodo5761]

10min x2 ship review. Great looking ship. Sticking with the Taurus.

[@misstressscarlet]

Somebody made a paper airplane into a SC ship. A Dorito with thrusters.

[@davidrabalais908]

Love the review. This ship really sets a new standard. I wonder if they will actually rework other ships to this level of functionality and detail...

[@pastabenda2415]

The turret looks amazing for defence while landed

[@Omaricon]

Great review! Thanks for showing it

[@euphurion]

Thank you so much for this rich of information video! i love that ship, i own one and i can't wait for it to go on live server!

[@kurogane0806]

Can't wait for it come back to the shop!

[@ericwollaston5654]

Love your candor and humor, very nice video and very nice ship.

[@Jahru]

Great review and way better than most "first look"-reviews, thank you!. My only suggestion would be to have a closer look at the cargo grid, because it is quite important for freighters and the one of the CL is especially awkward.

[@Vashocre]

you did a great job with the video! thank you for making it

[@djolltax]

Zeus ES could be my potential upgrade from my cutty black - looking forward to your review!

[@solomonmitchell6048]

Evenlease is CIGs galactic ship salesperson

[@misstressscarlet]

Scooter Scooter would argue otherwise.

[@TheVexinator]

The only issue I have with it is that the cargo doors are too narrow for an Ursa (or more importantly, and Nursa) to fit inside. At least, not without removing the wheels from it first. There's plenty of room once it's inside the cargo bay. Both are made by RSI, it seems like a natural combination. Leaves me wondering if this is an actual oversight, or if they specifically made this choice to deny the combination.

[@Adjudicator1]

Probably the latter (Deny the Ursa / Medical Ursa to be used with the Zeus series), so as to ensure the Freelancer MAX retains its niche of being the smallest ships able to carry the Ursa series.

[@koolerpure]

that airlock door is soo cool. its gonna make a neat snipers perch for the new bunkers and the ai roaming the surface. i have the combat one so im excited to see how that one feels

[@darkside7109]

Only ship I'll run merc missions on now is the cutlass series because of their crew storage. They need to add a crew storage to every ship in game imo. Zues looks good and great video Even!

[@little-wytch]

Interesting... an RSI ship that I might actually consider getting someday.

[@TheGlassSword]

amazing definitely gonna give up my C1 for this but gonna keep my E1 for flight comfort

[@bryanspencer1509]

Yes I’d love to fly the Terapen again! Put me in for the win baby!❤

[@michaelanderson2330]

I "upgraded" Cutty Black for a C1 Spirit and quickly realized I needed a Constitlation Taurus...the CL seems like a good alternative to the Taurus if you don't wanna shell out $200

[@prinnybob87]

These are the first interior I've loved since the 440i

[@D-AVGGamer]

It's basically the Phyton from Elite Dangerous, which is my fav ship from ED.

[@dunkirk4289]

I'm so happy the Zeus is here

[@itsdibbles]

I like how you can see the missiles if you look down in the cockpit

[@varlmorgaine3700]

Uhhh really nice, love the CL design :) It gives star destroyer vibes so we need a iron grey skin :D The details are great but i hope for my Perseus the more a older look like the Reclaimer has. I personaly like my MSR with only one entrance :D

[@Risbruh]

It definitely looks awesome. I don't have one and will probably not get one coz it feels too tight in there. I still prefer the C1's interior and cargo hold.

[@lordtachanka3923]

Exploring pyro with a ship like this will be really fun

[@Ren_0096]

I'm probably going to upgrade from my C1 to this.

[@TheLordDeliverence]

You're doing a great job EvenLease with the content, just thought I'd provide some feedback.

[@delc82]

I love my Zeus! Such an awesome ship!

[@genabromley3022]

I like the look and feel of the Zeus. It's clear that there was a lot of thought that went into the overall design. Like yourself, i anticipate some amount of rework as they continue to bring it in-line with the long term vision for the game. That being said, you raised two points that have me pausing. The first is the constellation series rework. I Love them. And I can't wait to see those ships updated with a modern look and feel and that level of polish that a (currently) complete new vessel has. I do wish they'd let us more easily stock the gally. Item number two, is the Mercury. Having more than one entrance/exit not withstanding, this is another ship that will benefit greatly from a rework in terms of its over all usability. So seeing the Zeus as it exists today makes me look forward to those. Will I buy a Zeus? Hard to say. It looks good, but it doesn't bring a lot to the table that similar sized vessels don't already have which are simply lacking that polish.

[@zeta4687]

that bottom up look does got that star destroyer vibe yeah we need more dorido ships i love windows too! i wish they are big enough so i can see the ground even when sitting on the chair

[@robertschumacher2707]

I have one, I needed a cargo ship in this SCU range, and the Zeus seemed to fit the bill nicely.

[@hectordiaz537]

I'm with you on the Connie rework, it should be amazing.

[@WarBirdGhost]

If this looks this good, then I can't wait to see the interior of the Polaris, the Perseus and the Galaxy.

[@Asgar1205]

Can’t wait to get my hands on the MR

[@AKSnowbat907]

When you show ships that aren't out yet, it's help if you compare their size to two other ships. Like, larger than a spirit but smaller than a herc.

[@FUNRobster]

waiting for it to be officially released, but can't wait to use it. Enjoying the C1 as loaner for the moment still

[@qutatron]

Zeus is exactly what I Imagined. Great utility Vessel, but slow and clumsy. Direct competitor to Freelancer Max. I vould buy it (in game) for cargo running and exploration, but for HRT's Bounty hunting Cutty Black still will be the best medium ship, and C1 will be something in between.

[@Kiyomoto657]

It would be nice to know how its speed / maneuverability compares to the FreelancerMax.

[@eziiii3536]

I have all 3 of them so getting any of them is awsome! Im excited 😁

[@TransbianOwl]

I was on the fence with this... but now I want one XD

[@Alex_A7]

Great video. The Zeus MK II series is really quite impressive now that we get to see the models in action. I'm almost regretting the melt I did of my CL pledge some months after the concept first went on sale...hopefully the price hike for a CCU upgrade won't be too outrageous when they put it back in the store.

[@EvenLease44]

If you previously purchased it and melted it, you should have it in your buy-back area and we just got more buyback tokens, allows you to get it again using store credit.

[@demonicsquid7217]

If it was a CCU the buyback price will change relative to the price increase. If it was a standalone or concept pledge for the whole ship the price won't change.

[@Fractal379]

Good start, nice ship.

[@ColbyTaylor-pp2dy]

Bro that was fast, this thing definitely smokes the 400i

[@amaegith9871]

I'm getting one simply because of the better living quarters than the C1. Practically speaking, there's not much the Zeus CL can do that the C1 can't, even with it's 128-SCU capacity on paper. In practice, you're not going to be able to fully utilize that space with hauling contracts, where the C1 can exceed it's paper listing of 64-SCU.

[@gamingvibrations5320]

Let the Zeus loose, baby! (I'm just excited about actual tangible releases) I also want to give you a bonus point in my book for calling it a Starship and not just "spaceship", it sounds so mundane to me. Starship sounds much more grandiose and that it has a purpose, on a mission.

[@sirkaithethird2536]

I wish the CL could have the white paint. The blue doesn't bother me but that bright yellow does

[@Lampislife]

Going to get one to try out. Sad it won't carry my nursa. But will just upgrade it later to something

[@txsicshooter]

Why would window be a weak spot? Aluminum Oxynitride, transparent aluminum, is super durable, with extreme hardness, and is more abrasion resistant than aerospace aluminum.

[@kal-nor]

I’ve yet to see the CL successfully load its full 128 cargo using that rear tractor. I think there maybe issues here as a cargo variant.

[@mazack00]

Just noticed the default livery has massive "Shoot Here" paint where the components are... I think this is meant to be an NPC ship.. or maybe one you earn from contracts or can get for super cheap in game.

[@GameCruton]

I have had an LTI token and Credit ready for this thing for a long time now. It basically has everything I want in a ship atm.

[@ashbailey9429]

great review, i love my cl!

[@MidKnight2142]

I'm loving the look of the Zeus so far. I was honestly worried I would prefer the loaner ship (the C1) more than the CL. Mainly cause I like the Spirit series and I was worried on how they were going to top it. I'm definitely excited to get my hands on mine. Guessing this will become my new daily driver...though I'm sure no one has ever said that about a ship ever (sarcasm) lol.

[@ErickSilva-hn4st]

Holy shit i cant wait to fly my zeus, this shit looks so good

[@tagged_sc_aka_pilotducky]

Wow, wow, WOW! The attention to detail is awesome. So is you efficiency on putting out these quality videos 😉 😊 The walkway in the hand do look like a bit of a tight squeeze 😅. 13:40 😂 I do like the look of the new MFDs. I think it’s a great ship. 7.8 out of 10. Really great review as always, Even! (Especially recording and editing in such a short amount of time). .. Btw, is the ES variant also in PTU?

[@DakotaFisher-w9t]

It's dumb but I like that there isn't any set dressing. I feel like it means we are closer to making ships our own.

[@Deez276]

I can’t wait to fly my CL. I’m not sure how I’ll use it now since I’ll only land planet side to load freight in a Hull A or a RAFT. Station to station I generally run my C2. I guess I’ll hold on to it and wait to see what other kinds of hauling missions come around down the line.

[@dasweallycool]

Dude.. you need to sprt out some merch.. i wanna see one with "phenomenal!" On it hehe :) awesome vid as always dude

[@enesyetis6108]

The visibility of the cockpit suggests its a very good ROC mining ship.
