Fuel scoops. I always thought it would be interesting to load refined fuel into the cargo bay and have a fuel transfer unit (1 scu big) that allows you to refuel from the cargo. You could make it refuel slowly and the ship has to be stationary when they do it. But having a way to transfer fuel without having a fuel ship would be nice.

About the Zeus being more agile than the C1. It depends on the weight of the ship. If the CL has more cargo. It will def will be less manoeuvrable. Also Armour and materials will play a role when they implement Maelstrom.

I think the Sentinel was never meant to have the EMP, it was meant to have a dampener or snare iirc but that wasn''t a thing when the Vanguards came out. So they may not of messed up with that page but were thinking forward to when they implement whatever the Sent was supposed to have.

Siphoning fuel is a thing the Vulcan's drones can do. The idea is that a fleet can take Vulcans with them to extand their range by refuelling on the wrecks they find or create.

Do you think the Zeus will stay smaller? The C1 was sold as smaller than the cutlass but ended up being "larger" than the Max. (ship overall size). The C1 has a cockpit/bed/kitchen (Cocbeditchn). While the Zeus's cockpit holds another person in a smaller space!? Then it also has several rooms inside! Not to mention the CL version can hold twice the SCU! I keep trying to imagine the C1's walls pushed out on either side. Its hard to believe CIG will be like, we came out with the Zeus which has an explorer version with crazy protection, A "fighter" version and a cargo version. Then make all three suck compared to the C1... Which is cheaper! But who knows!!!

I went and melted my Max to get the Zeus CL. It just overall looks better, for a ship of similar size (the Zeus is actually only 8m longer than the Max, same size width and actually slightly smaller height wise). The biggest selling point for me was the spacious interior. It just overall looks like it has more room to walk around in than the Max, which has been my main complain about the ship. its advertised as a 4 man capable ship when only 2 people is really needed to fully utilize the ship. It seems like they've been making 3 man ships for this size the standard, so they might redesign the freelancers to be 3 man ships instead. But yeah, just got tired of waiting for any news about a freelancer redesign.

I have both a C1 and CL and I'm excited to be able to fly both and decide what one I want to keep when they're both out. The CL seems like it could be the winner just because of the better spaced interior and cargo space. The Zeus line feels more like its own tier above the Cutty/freelancer but smaller than a Connie.

No ship is useless when the gameplay is available. And bounty hunting will not be limited to PVP but most likely far more NPC hunting of criminals.

Hearing your thoughts on fuel, scooping and siphoning, gave me an idea of something similar to a scene from the movie stealth when the little arm or tube comes out and connects to the floating fuel barge. What if we had something similar to that for ships that are disabled or in a death state and if the ship happens to be on fire, you are timed when siphoning due to fuel being flammable unless there is some kind of space fuel that is it

What troubles me is that the full firepower is just not very good. The MR can aim a total of 2 size 4s and 2 size 3s with copilot and packs only 8 size 2 missiles. The rest pack only the size 4s. On most variants there are no angles from which the Zeus can combine its full firepower so at best it’s either the turret with bottom coverage and the 2 size 2s. Even if it’s tanky it will generally take much more damage than it can dish out. I don’t understand how they fail to see this design is reliant on speed and maneuverability to function. As for the Spirit, it was never supposed to be the competitor. It’s a shit design with only one way on and out and the C1 is on par with base freelancer not Zeus CL which is on par with Freelancer Max.

Top speed (and SCM) and maneuverability (pitch, roll, and yaw percentages) are COMPLETELY ARBITRARY background numbers that they can goof with to make any ship, any size, any type, do whatever they want... They can make an Idris fly like a Arrow if they felt like it. These "potentially" ridiculous numbers also don't have any physical link to component sizes/types/ratings and are entirely "made up" according to CIG's idea of "balance" ie how they want one ship to behave compared to another/all others. They are also currently/apparently playing similar "games" with the weight/mass of pretty much everything in the game as well. Forget about what things look like or what might actually make sense.... Good thing it's a game, it's already chock full of blatant silly nonsense.

"We'll be doing a big rebalance of item numbers on numerous existing ships, so expect other ships to see their numbers changed." That part right there is why I am not spending another dime on Star Citizen (Already multi-concierge). Pricing, weapons, shields and purpose of all ships change and if you think you got a deal and your ship is good, think again because something better will come out...and then get nerfed after its pulled from the pledge store. I get the game is in development but we have ZERO reassurance that what we are purchasing has any metric of value. If I had to give advice for backers pre-release (2035)..."Don't buy ships based on specs, buy it for their roles".

​@@arnold790609 the thing what i feel like is the best thing. Is: if you only want one ship and below 100$ wait for a sale and buy the nomad. It fullfills a ridiculous amount of roles for its pricepoint and is the one and only ship you need. If not then in general you buy your game package with a ship and then another one you think is cool or unique or you know you like. Spending more than 300 or 500$ on this game is probably a big mistake. Unless you ofcourse know what you are getting yourself into.

C1 has higher top speed than Cutlass Black and Freelancer. And a much much higher accerleration. And the single entrance is ok for a ship this size. A second entrance would be nice but isn't necessary. And a larger Cargo Hold than the cutty. The C1 has better VTOL Engines and is more sturdy than the Cutty. The Cutty has more missiles and a turret. CIG should make the c1 much faster. But i find it's a nice alternative to the Cutty. And for the Zeus we must wait until it is flightready to really compare the ships.
