Star Citizen 3.23 - 10 Minutes More or Less Ship Review - ANVIL VALKYRIE

[@telekenetics]

I absolutely cannot justify my love for the Valkyrie but I have one pledged and it's my daily driver. Physically fits 90scu on the cargo grid even if only 30scu snaps but it's HP is woefully inadequate. I'd like more firepower but it has very deep batteries so you can fire those weapons for a long time before you have to take your finger off the trigger

[@mitcharbiter3371]

As another Valkyrie connoisseur, I've managed to fit 86 SCU. I'm going to try to fit 90. Love this ship!

[@Libertas_P77]

Same, it’s like a larger Cutlass Black in terms of design for daily use, except slower, less agile and less offensively capable. I know the Cutty makes more sense in many ways, but I love the Valkyrie, it just needs a rework so desperately.

[@CMDR_Raspewtin]

The Valk is a ship I've been wanting to fly forever, I've just never bought it. I'm seriously considering CCU'ing from my Taurus to the Valk at IAE as I have some store credit to make the jump easier, and with the increase to shields and pilot controlled guns coming, I'm rolling the dice on it getting some love. Taurus is easily bought in game after about a week of effort given the time I have to play. Want to fly what I love!

[@telekenetics]

@@CMDR_Raspewtin it's very different to the taurus, you should try and fly one a bit before you make that decision.

[@CMDR_Raspewtin]

@@telekenetics yeah I understand it's not a like for like, I have a C2 for hauling anyway, I'd just prefer to have the valk as a pledge and the Connie as an aUEC buy 👍

[@ParagonFangXen]

I recently fell in love with the Valk, she is my personal new FAVORITE medium size daily driver... which i will never buy IRL due to its horid value and can barely justify saving for ingame.... I love her so much... but its so hard to justify ever getting her without a patch cycle that lasts FOREVER without wipe like our current one.

[@SvalbardSleeperDistrict]

The other day I opened a thread in the Ask the Devs section on Spectrum, asking CIG how they planned to make sure dropships are viable and used by people, and that there are people willing to act as infantry in them, instead of the current reality of everyone flying their own ships to ops, landing and proceeding on foot. It is kinda silly that this thing costs as much as it does while we haven't even been told if there are any plans to make it usable in practice long-term.

[@soliitudegaming7275]

Lemme guess, never got a response from them? They seem to ignore any questions about making anything viable.... none of the roles matter and its a joke. Heck, we dont even have proper component stats anymore. This game is just regressing... They can solve this problem so easily: 1. Make it so tons of planets are completely non viable for flight to force ground gameplay. A ship should struggle to fly in most atmospheres to force you to not just abuse air to ground power. 2. Make it so Dropships can operate for a short time in non viable flight environments by using a unique engine type that is only good for that (maybe using VTOL mode to stabilize instead of flipping over and losing control). 3. Make dropships WAY beefier. The Valkyrie should literally have 10X the stats that it has right now... its weaker than a lot of starters right now.

[@facelesshalo5174]

@@soliitudegaming7275 THere's a ton of stuff Star Citizen can do for relatively low effort to appropriately Game-a-fy Star citizen, for the better. And yes, part of that is 100% what you said. Areas should be 100% catered to specific roles/ships. 1. Areas that make it so flying your ship too high can disable or damage the ship over time. So you need low flying skills. 2. Spaces that are to small for ships above light fighters. 3. Areas that completely disable ships and only accept ground vehicles. 4. Even space areas should have content gated behind specific ship types. E.G. Storm Nebulas that only large exploration ships or Capital ships can travel through. 5. Missions that only specific Ships can take or specific factions (rep) can go to. if they're going to make a game as large as SC can be, they need to bite the bullet and start delivering tighter more controlled content loops for the various players.

[@adrianbarreto4225]

@@soliitudegaming7275 they don't even have to go ham. If they give ships weight, and make it so the thrusters simulate realistic lift, they could make snow storms, rain storms, or any other temporary weather anomalies that could make certain areas impossible to fly in. Not to mention, with the addition of base building, if they input planetary shields and long range anti-air turrets for base defense, people will need to use drop ships to assault enemy orgs bases.

[@Alex_A7]

A potential fix for the upper level could be replacing the railed boundary with something like a Plexiglass wall and sliding shutters, plus a airlock cover at top of the ladder like there is in the C2. Then both upper and lower decks would have some air supply in event of a hull door blowout.

[@foreverrgamer8759]

Everytime I see this ship alll I can think of is groups of these flying into hot zones,landing and its troops offloading all while “Fortunate Son” is blasting in the background. Love the Valkyrie!

[@ytwetsu]

I like the Valk, but CIG really does need to show this ship some love. Like you said, she needs a complete makeover.

[@skullhqx]

I have one pledged atm. Imho one of the best designs in the game. It’s great with a ROC and Nursa (it can just fit both as well). It desperately needs a hp buff at the least, just like the Cutlass Steel has gotten. Can’t figure out why CIG hasn’t done so yet. Also, they should slave the two ‘wing’ guns to the pilot, if they aren’t manned, just like the Retaliator or Super Hornet. Oh, one way to justify it for a pledge price is that it comes with a Super Hornet as a loaner. Slap Omnisky’s or CF’s on that and you have a nice two seat fighter ready to go. Slap the new Ironscale paint on that and it even looks very pretty. The Valkyrie has such great potential, too sad CIG doesn’t seem to be able to make a couple of little adjustments to make it worthy of its pledge price. Cheers o7

[@scoso1313]

It really is such a great design

[@665Jan83]

@@schlagzahne6741 Well, I’m 54 years old atm, if CIG progresses in the current way I’ll be 80-something when SC is released and your scenario manifests itself 😂 Joking aside, it is a matter of perspective. Likely we can enjoy the loaners for the foreseeable future, so why not use them? If you are in it for the future value (and thus are working on an LTI fleet), things are different. But personally I don’t really care about that, because current ships will change and new ships will be introduced, maybe obsoleting current ships (like the Hornet Mk2). Cheers o7

[@Metro636]

Love the look of the Valk. So far I haven't pledged for one but every Invictus I have to fight off the urge to do so. Another nice video, sir!

[@cyberrascal]

Excellent Review!!! I absolutely love this ship even in spite of its short comings. I completely agree with your point relating to the 2 unmanned turrets on the wings. These would be way more beneficial as pilot controlled guns. I also noticed that there is a bug with the pair of pilot controlled guns where it doesnt let you swap out the stock size 3 guns for any other size 3 guns. For some reason it will only allow you to replace them with size 2 guns. I'm not sure if they have fixed that bug yet but its fair to assume that they havent and will in the gold pass. Having slightly more cargo space would be nice and having a rear ramp that touches the ground would also be nice. Missiles would be very welcome given the extremely high value of the manpower based cargo. Losing 20+ team members in 1 go would suck greatly so having decent defensive ability and decent shields and armour is a must. I appreciate this ship is one of the golden oldies so I am hoping that it will become awesome after the gold pass. The price is completely insane though especially given that this has just been adjusted. WTF were they thinking? I can only hope that this price is an early indicator of their future plans for this ship. I will gladly pay it if they make it what it truly deserves to be.

[@SOGBulldog]

Kudos for giving the real world and the in game price of the ships.

[@ElijahNMitchell]

Needs a rework, but the price I think is less the dropship tax and more that it has four turrets plus the pilot weapons (not including the doors). The pilot really needs to have the wing guns unless they are manned, and they look too small.

[@cng979]

Would like to see a valk cargo get rid of the jump seats open up the bottom keep all the turrets except for the ones on the doors. Or even a medicvac one the valk platform has so much potential other than dropship.

[@grievousminded7517]

Experienced her in the freeflight and love her. BUT immediately got hammered by that bot Cutlass on daymar as we went Roc mining in it...

[@sirnukealot84]

man used to rotate between this and cutlass black and carrack for greycat roc carrying and scanning and mining. This ship is so beatiful with those vtol engines and had space or roc or roc ds. The ship is super thirsty when flying in atmo making it kind of expensive to run since it needs refueling often. You have some great ideas about the guns! Kind of wish it had rocket pods. The bubble shield feels like a forgotten tweak from the devs but it could also be armor rebalance that the devs knew they wanted to add later. really wish cig could redesign the interior a little to fit the storm inside or the ballista. Feels totally off with a military dropship not being able to carry any of the big military ground vehicles. The ship needs a slight increase horizontally and a increase vertically in the door frame for the vehicle garage area so you can fit the larger ground vehicles inside of it.

[@shaneedwards596]

the Valkyrie is one of those ships that I've loved since I first saw her... I truly wish we had an APC similar in design to the Aliens U577 APC from Aliens as an Ursa is just too small and limiting, but the Spartan is too tall... also the ship is in serious need for more variants, a medical variant would really be a great idea... either way definitely the closest thing to the Cheyanne Dropship 😋would love to see a ship that resembles the Cheyanne too but the Valkyrie is a keeper she also needs a slight size increase too, but currently is still fun to fly... would be nice if no one mans the two wing remote turrets would switch to pilot control if not manned I think the ladder to the top deck should have a ladder/lift combo like the MSR has so it would have some redundancy thanks for another awesome review @EvenLease

[@defiantraven7915]

Love the Valkyrie. Yes it's not cheap but it looks amazing. Great bunker running ship. Stick a Nursa in the back and a couple of 4SCU crates

[@donnys2965]

Using this ship for Jumptown always has left me scratching my head. Yes, a very tanky ship but if your air support fails you don't have enough firepower. I find my redeemer is better as long as everyone understands how to use a ladder. Lots of seats while being able to swat away any trailing ships so you can get to your drop point. Either way another great video. I'm enjoying this series. Great shots

[@wdavec3]

I would love one... if they would make it modular. Keep the drop ship version, make a medical version, make a cargo version... etc.

[@throdwobblermangrove6200]

I started Star Citizen with the foundation festival 2023. the Valkyrie was one of the ships I had in my hanger and I was really impressed. Wow! What a big ship! And so many gun turrets! I thought, this is for sure, THE most dangerous ship in the game because it is even better than the best ship in the game. The cutless black. ...:)

[@Royaltea_Citizen]

Been trying it out this week, cockpit is very nice.

[@justindupre7274]

I really hope during the rework they let us stack to 60 SCU, and the drop seat areas would be cool if they were modular with different options. It's one of my most favorite ships to drive as a daily.

[@665Jan83]

I also hope for modules to replace the dropseats... but let's be real it will not happen.

[@gojiradropkick9447]

Valkyrie is one of the coolest ships in the game IMO. I've always said that they should use the Valk's spaceframe to make some variants, because dropships are cool and all, but the majority of players aren't really ever going to need a dedicated dropship in my opinion. A couple quick examples of variants that I think would be cool are... Pure Gunship/Missile Boat - swap out the majority of the cargo area and all the jump seats in favor of enhanced armaments and/or improved armor Medium Scout/Explorer - Somewhat of an odd concept, I know. I picture something like a Terrapin with more range and endurance, but also capable of traditional exploration but not optimized for it. The top turret would be swapped with a radar (similar to Terrapin once again), and the lower deck/cargo area could be converted to more crew accommodation and a scanning area. Vehicle Carrier - This is one I feel the game actually needs. The idea would be that the entire cargo area would be removed to make room for larger vehicles to be carried via tractor beam or whatever. Think something along the lines of a Pelican from Halo. It just would make a lot of sense to me for Anvil to have a ship that could carry ANVIL'S OWN LINE OF GROUND VEHICLES lol

[@AlexandreParchomenko]

Using that ship only because I love the look, but it is too specialized and lack some flexibility to justify the pledge as a daily ship. Beside the changes (armor/shield/weapons) you suggested, which I agree with, I would also welcome some modularity, for example, swap the current troop carrying areas for medical stuff or radio room or repair shop, stuff like that, and allow to have drop seats in the main area if no vehicule is loaded, like the Cutlass Steel !

[@shckr17]

This ship is definitely on my wish list for my fleet.

[@Libertas_P77]

Shout out to the three fantastic paints this ship has out there: the 2950 BIS (white/gold) is beautiful, the incredible Foundation Festival paint looks perhaps best of all, and then the ultra rare Liberator Edition in copper and silver.

[@honey-fe6pj]

Thanks to the Foundation Festival i have flown the Valk for a couple of sessions and no longer do i want this ship in its current state. Love the 'like a bigger Cutty Black/Steel' vibe buts its too weak- an NPC Buc in one pass caused the whole ship to turn red so no thank you. If it gets 3 times the HP and a size 3 shield i'll look at it again- but then the annoying ladder might drive me crazy long term.

[@splurg123]

On PAPER, this is my favourite ship. In my mind it fills the space a Chinook does for the game, and I own it purely to blast Fortunate Son on the way to bunker missions. For the potential payload though at the bare MINIMUM it needs more health/armor/shields. I also wish it could at least fit the Anvil Spartan and maybe the storm.

[@ElijahNMitchell]

For me, she’s a better looking and little bigger Cutty Black. Similar side and rear door for cargo. I’m also an Anvil fanboy and it looks like the Terrapin’s big brother. Great for bunkers with an Ursa (and a Pulse) loaded into it. I plan to use it for light cargo in 3.24.

[@PhillipLemmon]

This is one of many ships I want to get in game! Love the dropship!

[@FederalNewsNetwork1138]

I think you have good points. I would like to hear your opinions on what you think the pilot needs DPS for. I'm in the "Too many non-combat ships have too many guns" camp, and in this case, The Valk definitely should have guns, but you listed low pilot DPS as a negative, and I'm not convinced on why the pilot would need more guns. Contrary to my statement above, I think 8 S2 missiles, or 6 S3 might make this better. The dropship needs to be able to scare small ships, or engage from a safe-ish range, and missiles should theoretically fill that role. S2's hurt light fighters, and can cause mediums to take evasive action. I think it's enough to give the pilot DPS options, without making it dogfight viable, which it shouldn't be (unless fully manned). I agree with basically everything else - the lack of airlocks, the low HP for its intended role and design as a slow medium dropship.

[@EvenLease44]

Personally in the day and age of Star Citizen a drop ship should have a big amount of pilot control DPS to allow it to put down heavy fire coming into a landing zone, then allow you to set down and unload troops without the need of a forward bombing run. I see something like towers or structures that you are laying into as you head to your drop point, like when an X wing attacks massive turrets on a Star Destroyer, imagine the X wing actually being a Valk and then being able to set down troops after such movement. The argument can go both ways though, I can also easily see a drop ship without ANY pilots guns allowing there to be more roles for other ships to provide wingman support. That is what makes this game great, so many different scenarios.

[@mitcharbiter3371]

One of the most beautiful ships in game. I paid the drop ship tax. :) BTW, the shower / toilet is called a 'shoilet'

[@SendySenderson]

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

Love the design, hate the equipment loadout. It needs more of something (speed, hp, shields, maybe all 3)

[@Volf1916]

How well does the cyclone fit? Does the cargo grid have easy access to load and unload?

[@Storm-Cleaver]

It is such a cool ship that I really want to like it. Honestly, due to its role, I can absolutely see the justification for there being _no_ pilot weapons. With a dropship, the pilot has one job, fly safely to the LZ and drop the troops. To do that, it really needs to be more damage resistant, stronger hull and stronger shields. Maybe like 4-6 S2 shields, so that if they go down, they'll come back fast (Soon™). And... really disappointed that it can't take any of the Atlas vehicles. A Valkrie with a Spartan would be even better than a Valkyrie with a Nova or a Storm.

[@CMDR_MURR]

I love the valk so much, just a big chunky ship, but not a tonne of functionality that cheaper/smaller ships can do.

[@whalescience8831]

Love the valk. Wish there were an official medevac version.

[@IgnIsFlux]

Imagine, two rival orgs face off but one org has an outpost with a really solid anti-aircraft defense. Ships like the Valkyrie would be a pretty good fit to get into the drop zone and quickly drop troops.

[@kratoa92]

Reminds me of the Lucky 13 from Love Death Robots

[@JL-rj9fl]

The wing guns arent pilot controlled because you'd want gunners to fire on targets around the ship as you come in to quicky drop off troops/vehicles. Come in hot, drop off, get out. Forward pilot controlled guns wont do much when you're sitting on the ground and most vulnerable. Aside from this, I agree with everything else and great video as always!

[@piedpiper1172]

They could be pilot slaved until someone enters the remote turrets, like the Super Hornet. This would be the more elegant solution, imo. Retains the drop zone flexibility, while improving pilot armament for when that’s not wanted, or when those two want to get out

[@JL-rj9fl]

@@piedpiper1172 I think that's a great solution, no downside there.

[@Ryecrash617]

I'd love to take the Valkyrie and modify it. Turn the entire bottom deck into a cargo hold, get rid of the wingtip turrets and the side-door turrets, and turn the upper deck into a nice hab for 3. It would make a great armored cargo ship for dangerous places like Pyro.

[@Bubblegum_Ronin]

[@callsigngrimdoll]

No. They designed ships before they had the mechanics/gameplay. There are ships now that you can't manually take out the quantum drive and stuff because the designers didn't take into consideration the idea of manually switching or installing things.

[@merclord]

@@callsigngrimdoll I agree, but I think it's a bit of both situations.

[@P3rcival97]

I got the Cutlass steel for the side door guns.

[@ParagonFangXen]

Just to correct, each crew seat in that "depreasurable" area is secured, and the reason for the railed open-sight interior design is to allow a raised defensive position for the crew to fire from. Similarly there is a foldout cover wall on the ground floor to give crew cover and protection from vehicles running fown a defensive line coming up the ramp.

[@archerkee9761]

To be honest, I think this ship’s interior design has some of the same issues as the Starfarer. It seems to be designed for an FPS level rather than for vehicle interiors. Making the top turret remote-controlled by the pilot could improve the quarters and ladder access area. I really think it’s one of the worst-designed areas in any ship, which is weird because the details all over the ship are top-notch, in my opinion.

[@ParagonFangXen]

@@archerkee9761 it should be designed like an FPS level... its a FPS deployment ship...

[@ElijahNMitchell]

That makes a lot of sense, and I never noticed the door between the cargo area and the remote seats before. Combat situation you would expect your crew in suits and doors secured.

[@callsigngrimdoll]

And in 2024 they announced the first iteration of armor coming in 4.0 update.

[@arrclyde4325]

Since when are size 2 shields bubble shields? Did they change size 2 from front and back hemisphere shields?

[@entropyapathy]

Pilot needs quad S3s, top and bottom turrets also need quad S3s, ditch the remote turrets. S1 door guns can stay but frankly I think they're useless because the firing arcs are awful. The crew quarters needs reinforced glass windows or just solid walls instead of an open railing. You can also rip out 2 bunks and replace them with more lockers, component access, or a larger kitchen because you no longer need remote gunners. More components can go where the remote turret seats are currently. The ladder to the crew quarters needs to be behind the the blast doors not exposed to the cargo bay. The drop seats can frankly just be ripped out to make room for more cargo grids since we can buy and attach drop seats to any cargo grid now, which makes the entire idea of dedicated dropships obsolete. The cargo bay needs to be slightly enlarged to fit a Storm. And it needs at least one S3 shield instead of puny S2s.

[@Toutvids]

I would love a variant of this ship that removes the dropship areas and replaces them with a living area and/or some more storage/cargo. I agree with giving the pilot the two unmanned turrets. This is another CIG design that put too many turrets on too small of a ship. The price is stupid.

[@vik12D]

Here's the easiest review of the Valk: Looks awesome, but sucks. Dies too fast, almost pointless cargo hold, WAY overpriced. You'd have to be crazy to try to load up the drop seats, they'd be better off flying their own ship...the turrets are too anemic to bother having people in them. The ONE thing is should do as a dropship is to be tanky, at least survive to be a dropship...its not. IF I could man it with NPCs it would be a little better, but there is no reason whatsoever to load people into it. Its only decent use is running bunkers with a Nursa in the back, but it doesn't outperform the Cutlass Red for that, so there's little point, unless you are driving to the location. Don't bother with the door gun, if someone can be there, they'd be better off using a railgun instead of the door gun. Sadly, one of the best "drop ships" is the Corsair.

[@1975Brummbaer]

There is no reason to have that ship but .... I love the look an feel and had to pledge it. And I think the only reason to buy a ship with real money is because you think you can't live without it in the future.

[@Marlax-101]

biggest tax point i could see is that it can carry 30 people plus in one ship. thats the main thing you could say about drop ships. when you think about ships that can carry that many people they are all very massive expensive ships. with that 1 ship right there you can have a full org cruising around a planet doing missions with maybe 1 or 2 ships if you need to ship off some cargo. you got what 5 crew, 5 beds, 20 jumpseats, and potentially a ursa with its own lifesupport on board. litterly 30 people that dont require any ship at all to play the game. even the carracks, hammerhead , polaris say like 12-16 crew. you are doubling that in a small package.

[@FreebirthBoccara]

Two things KS stop this ship from being amazing. The cargo capacity being artificially limited to a single layer.. and the price.. and the price just moves it into an earn in-game ship.. but that randomly limited cargo is ridiculous.

[@xWerkingx]

I didn't realize the health pool was so low. The cutty steep has a much larger health pool

[@Libertas_P77]

The Valkyrie is a beautiful ship with so much potential, but also very much in need of a rework. For starters, it requires suit lockers and a proper armoury beyond the ones in between the drop seats. It should have a T3 medical facility behind the drop seats and remove that lower turret and make it slaved to a co-pilot seat. Additionally the back should be a proper cargo grid. Otherwise it needs to be heavily armoured (with it properly factored in) and a defensive beast able to take insane fire as it lands and drops off troops in an active combat zone. It is also a military ship so its pilot weapons should be taken up a size as should the turrets. I’m tired of military ships being under powered and no different to civilian in terms of their capabilities or firepower, that simply makes no sense to me. It would be like complaining because the Redeemer, a military gunship, has lots of weapons.

[@qutatron]

One of the best looking ships in the verse, but today is realy good only for ROC mining. Great vehicle bay, good scaner, good amount of hydrogen fuel.

[@1gkn1ght]

I really do like this ship, but it's expensive, and worse, it's paper. They need to beef this ship up more. My friend uses this as his daily. Often takes it to kill guys at outposts (NPC missions) by hovering and going to the side guns and using those. Never thought about it with the storm, but it would have been perfect. With the ability for the people you are dropping off going out the side doors and the storm unloading out the back, would have been awesome.

Best looking ship in the game. One of the least useful. The lack of pilot weapons and unbelievably low health pool completely kneecaps this ship. I love it, but it's a 2/10 at best. Ditch the remote turrets, give those guns to the pilot, bump them up to S4, give it a S3 shield and drop the price to $200 and it's worth it because at that point it's either a buffed Cutty Black or a nerfed Connie.

[@bclt64]

I love the Valkyrie but at that price I'll never buy it with real money.

Drop ships should be able to drop players like a eject from the bottom

[@scardfaice6105]

The Prowler is supposed to be able to do that in the future.🙂

[@Bubblegum_Ronin]

This ship could be modified to do so. Simply have the seats in a rotating cylinder type structure. So when it's go time, the seats rotate around, exterior hatches pop open towards each other, the cylinder housing the seat drops down at an angle, then once the cylinder is completely extended, the seat is exposed and rocks forward to have the soldier "fall" out of their seat for deployment. Would be even better with jetpacks from low altitude.

[@rickshaw3397]

Id rather be able to use my multitool tractor beam to attach and repel from the ship. Would also reel you back up making it possible to on board without landing

[@joker_g7337]

Or just drop the whole 2 passenger rooms -like pods- on the ground and leave. Touch and go.

We really need drop ships to be bullet sponges and medical ships to be fast and low signature

[@wazukyan3058]

My Heart wants to pledge this ship. but my reasoning tells me I dont have the friends for it :(

[@CathrineMacNiel]

The ship is beautiful, but the interior spacing? not so much. Why have components behind the marine compartment next to a manned turret and not in the corridor to the pilot seat? The latter would be perfect as the ships crew would be on that deck. The Two turret seats on that same floor could potentially switch between side guns and upper/lower unmanned turret making the switching between drop and flight much more smoother. The lower turret section could then be repurposed for emergency medical treatment, keeping wounded marines stable. The open windows from the top deck to the cargo room could be outfitted with deployable/retractable blast shields, but in the end why would you need to defend the interior of the ship from that position when you already lost all marines in the process? The Ladder access should also be lockable so that the upper deck could be made airtight.

This ship gives me halo vibes

[@noirkitkat]

I really enjoy your videos, can u go back to adding time stamps on your videos?

[@stevenflaton2693]

This is the one. My favorite ship in the game! Def alien vibes. Price tag although high, makes it worth having and is just so damn cool! The VTOL engines and sounds of this ship are a bonus. Glad you reviewed this (:

[@EvenLease44]

Absolutely, if you love a ship sometimes the price tag doesn’t matter! She’s a beauty.

Go to each video listed in the description below and follow the instructions.

[@maximilianyuen]

seeing the look of it, its immediately become a must buy. then the price....huh will need to grind for a bit but still wanna buy it. then only 2 pilot guns......will need some seriously consideration. then seeing the small HP shield....huh pass.

[@themarveluniverseonline]

I keep confusing this ship with the Terrapin which is very tanky.

[@camillion166]

It's a really cool looking ship, but until it gets some attention, it's just not gonna be practical for most situations

[@mr.u3078]

it is a drop ship, you just cant drop anything in a place where people can shoot at you, because then you are dead

[@russwhitfield5259]

i quite understand , I LOVE this ship , but shes overpriced , fairly useless in anything but an org training event and like much of cig , the marketing doesnt meet the reality.That said I still love her and shes not useless , just needs some updating love 😆

[@oldschoolonline8871]

You would be just as well off with a Freelancer Max with a couple dozen lawn chairs duct-taped to the cargo area for what you get with the money invested in this. Now if you invest in it with the hopes they will fix the shields, armor, cargo capabilities, etc. then have at it, but there are better options. As stated in the video, a dropship should also be able to carry the armor for at least a squad or two of soldiers, such as some sort of APC or FAV's (tank is an entirely different monster). If you want a "chopper" to drop them in behind the lines then just use some Cutty Steels, they have far more HP and two or three would bring far more firepower and missiles to help clear the LZ.

[@callsigngrimdoll]

:(

[@callsigngrimdoll]

Freelancers are fugly.

[@El1qt]

I think 6 is too much. It’s a great vehicle but drop seats are useless as of right now, living area is also useless, extremely low HP, there’s just no reason to use it

[@callsigngrimdoll]

You do realize that the Valkyrie is a drop ship it drops from space to planet not pulling up to a ship or station?

[@stevenhannweg1644]

Imo, in the current state the ship is useless, especially for the pricetag ingame. Other ships can do her role aswell and other stuff even better. I just bought one for the sake of taking a look on her, and never used it again.

[@cyranobuckminster1970]

Going to pass. I don't have any friends and I would never belong to any org with standards low enough to accept me as a member.

[@Chase_The_Calm_Gaming]

Lol

[@Arystanbek98]

Yeah this ship needs a golden pass
