Star Citizen: Carrack - 1st impressions/ Buyer's guide

[@oddoldends7649]

Wait for it Morty. They LOVE the slow ramp.

[@fredashay]

So true! Mechanical things move slowly IRL for a good reason.

[@Random_Banshee]

That‘s the one thing i absolutely hate about the misc reliant, toggle vtol mode and it just friggin yeets the wings around 90 degrees like there‘s no tomorrow. Mass 1 x momentum 1 equals mass 2 x momentum 2? Nu-uh, not in this one. Should‘ve used this Newton-less rotation mechanism to build helicopters, wouldn‘t have needed tail rotors smh

[@bustybishop1753]

That’s the first thing I thought of after I got a carrack and opened it for the first time lmao

[@MrCoolguy425]

God the carrack needs a personnel elevator, I hate opening the cargo ramp just for myself

[@michygeorg]

LawoftheWest and Morphologist are amazing. Both put out gorgeous chilled Ultrawide ship content. Seriously, I don't think I've seen better videos, between the picture quality, editing and narration

[@ralexcraft990]

The content they cover is similar but different in just the right way too. Morphologist looking at these aesthetically, shile LotW looks at them from a gameplay and mechanical stand point which is just great. Any shio they both cover you have pretty much all the info you need.

[@davidstarcitizen9066]

I love it. Awesome. The letterbox format is real full screen for me in my UWHD monitor ar 2560x1080 👍

[@TheMisleadingWoodpecker]

It looks much better. Whish more people start using this format

[@-JustHuman-]

Me too, it's nice to get to use my full screen :)

[@iamruark]

Agreed. Watching on my primary UWHD this format is super slick thanks!

[@lystic9392]

For me too ^__^

[@SYNtemp]

Nope, i dont like it, why the hell we going wider and wider... :(

[@TheMisleadingWoodpecker]

This is the best Carrack walk true video there is. Well done!

[@madcapmagician3130]

I agree and i must have watched about a dozen

[@michaelkeaton5394]

It's walk *through*

[@TheMisleadingWoodpecker]

@@michaelkeaton5394 thanks for notification on a one year old spell wreck. Much appreciated

[@ABeardedSage]

I often come back to this video, even now, and just let it play when I'm stressed. It's my perfect anti-anxiety treatment. Even helps my niece and nephews fall asleep at night when I'm watching them. This video is like a little all-in-one when it comes to making things calm. You really hit it out of the park here and I just wanted to let you know, even if you probably aren't gonna see this comment by now.

[@lawofthewestgaming]

Thank you for one of the nicest compliments I think I've ever gotten. Just knowing that this video could have a positive impact on someone's life in this way makes the time that I put into creating it all worth while. Thank you very much!

[@VendettaSoundtracks]

@@lawofthewestgaming Your videos have this effect on me too. Your calm presentation & voice, the softer visuals, the quiet and smooth music - I always watch your ship tours over anyone else's if they're available for these reasons. The only person who comes close in my opinion is Farrister.

[@n228sk]

This review is second to none. Thank you very much. Yes, the 4K and wide screen are terrific. Being a Nubie, I look forward to watching more of your videos. Now if only I had the real or game money to buy this ship…

[@royevans4581]

I'm just taking a moment to appreciate the IMMENSE work you put into this video. I'm a total newbie, but can see what you did here! Hours and hours of work. Brilliant.

[@glcanon]

Love the 2160p60 format. Fills entire screen on my 34" LG curved widescreen, so much the better for showing people how beautiful Star Citizen is.

[@glcanon]

The only downside is Google/You Tube and their dang codecs. It's fine watching it on home PC, but don't try to watch 2160p on your smart TV or Apple device. The best you can get is only 1080. So while I have a 4K Samsung TV, the only way I can watch in 2160p is if I'm sending the signal fm my home PC directly to the TV via HMDI cable. Doesn't work using my PS4 to TV either since PS4 is a Sony product. So even though connected via HMDI cable, the PS4 can only send a 1080 signal to my TV.

[@colinw1692]

@@glcanon pretty sure ps4s hdmi ports aren’t 4k compatible the slim and the pro are tho

[@leonielson7138]

7:05 I had a thought for the detachable cargo pods: you could turn them into passenger quarters - it looked like there would be enough room for up to 4 apartments in each pod (2 rooms port and starboard), with one apartment space used for passenger amenities instead. Maybe the top floor of the middle pod featuring a lounge/dining space that could be catered or uncatered, depending if you're willing to sacrifice another apartment.

[@valmanway3800]

when CIG said "This is a scout bay" the citizens asks "will it fit my Gladius?"

[@-Iceray-]

Easily the best Star Citizen content out there. Keep up the great work LAW!

[@ThatGuyKazz]

I really appreciate the style of this ship tour. It must have taken a few attempts to get it in one take but well worth it IMO most other ship tours I've see put in a dozen micro cuts where they may be in the same room but they are looking in a different direction so it's easy to lose your sense of direction as the viewer. So I appreciate that you're slowly making your way through the ship without waving your mouse around and putting in small cuts that change the camera angle. have a thumbs up and a new subscriber.

[@smiddybalean]

Best walkthrough video. You have a nice pace that allows us to take in every important detail without you zooming in and spending 5 minutes discussing wall material. Good job

[@ralexcraft990]

But man, I want a good look at that wall material

[@LordWolf007]

By far my favorite Carrack walkthru video!

[@subbss]

I own a Carrack (well actually two, for now), I've been in the Carrack, I've watched many video walkthroughs of the Carrack. I planned to watch youtube videos in the background while I have another game over it. Yet still when this video came on I had to stop what I was doing and just pay attention because the Carrack is so beautiful and you have such a pleasing, relaxing, and thorough way of presenting it, and the more beautiful something is, the more it shines after being thoroughly examined. Oh my, that sounded sexy lol. Anyways, keep up the good work, I always love your videos.

[@numbr17]

Love this video. I appreciate the attention to detail, and that you notice the little Alien and Star Wars types of elements that some of us have also discovered. Nice work. All of these tour videos are really wonderful. My favorite part? That you're the opposite of obnoxious. You actually sort of remind me of Holden from The Expanse.

[@miguelsuarez-solis5027]

I love that you can get two kreugers in the bay. I feel like if the toilets and showers weren't separated they could have fit another 2-3 beds... Considering there's 5-6 stations on the bridge, 3 turrets, drone controllers a scout bay, and a medical room. I thought there would be room for a 12- 15 person crew when fully staffed accounting for some mechanics and onboard soldiers... Kind of wish there were more bunks. maybe one in the medical room for an on board doctor?

[@ScareyBusey]

Hey, this is the best ship review I've seen by far. Great job.

[@WayTruthLife3]

The format is beautiful!

[@michaelanderson6627]

love the widescreen view

[@dajolaw]

If this baby had stealth capability it would basically be the Star Citizen version of the SSV Normandy. There are so many design cues that evoke the Normandy, Serenity, Nostromo, Falcon, even the Rocinante. It looks like the perfect sci-fi hero ship.

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

This game should just do collab and get the real damn thing. It would be the dream...Especially when the ships arent too big and within SC compatibility.

[@russelljohnson9533]

LOVE this video rez - looks amazing on my ultrawide. Love the video too! Keep it up - more vids this rez please!

[@Shaiyo5]

An actual engine room. That sent this ship right to the top of my interest list.

[@cobaltblue1975]

Super late to the video but it's still spot on. I just got mine during this year's (2022) IAE. I upgraded from my C2. I have been having a blast flying it. What shocked me was the power of its engines and its speed. The only two sticking points I have with it is first, what you mentioned about that main lift not being an alternate way to the ground. It would be nice not having to make the ship unnecessarily vulnerable to hijackers every time you do a cargo run. And second, there is a flaw in the design of my favorite area of the ship that basically exposes several habitable areas of the ship to vacuum under the right circumstances. And that's the hangar bay. It could be fixed by adding some logic to the doors to automatically close and lock if the hangar bay is open and there is no atmosphere detected. Also, the problem could be further mitigated by adding a control panel inside the bay to operate the hangar doors. The docking collar access has the same issue, as the interior door will not close if you open the external one. Thanks again for the great video.

[@MrChrisr34]

[@NP907AK]

Love the format. It looks ssssoooo good on my Samsung S20 Ultra. Fills up the whole screen.

[@Omniseed]

I love the ship but I do think that in any starship space would always be extremely valuable, and it kind of defies understanding to have SO MUCH open hallway space and cavernous bridge without so much as weapon and armor racks, a coffee/drink/refreshment station, a small table/desk, or a head that's just convenient for the bridge crew. And in the weapons locker/turret area, there is plenty of room to have a practice range on one side with a couple-few ready weapon racks and then a higher security storage area for armor, heavier or less replaceable weapons on the other side. That side accesses the turret instead of having a symmetrical arrangement. The turret room could have an access door into the range side that is only used during emergencies to prevent accidents.

[@thinkpadBentnoseTheBlind]

I agree. Why even have angled hallways when they could be flat, and that area covered can run wires and lines making for more space everywhere. Most ship should be as tight as a 100i until you get to where you need to be on the ship

[@emenick76]

Video quality looks awesome! Great video!

[@ShaozenSC]

[@AXC629]

#LawoftheWest More videos in this format please. Its beautiful.

[@bomerfett3836]

I agree that the response time of the ramp need to be quicker, but I think the actual opening and closing time of it is good. It is a huge door and would move pretty slow in real life. Not to mention it is kind of a trade off for having such a large ship/cargo bay. However, I also believe there should be another smaller door for the individuals to embark and disembark.

[@johnfink7763]

Love the format!

[@VulpesChama]

I honestly would just wish for some kind of modifiability for the Carrack. For example, exchanging the the top exploration room for a small barracks, extending the bunkbed section into the rest-area, removing the hexagonal pool table. Most of all making use of all that unused space throughout the ship. And, I would wish for a version in which you could dock two Arrows at the lower section at it, removing cargo haul. Some kind of Sector-control ship, maybe. (Not all of these modifications at the same time, just modability. This ship is awesome as it is, but with that design it doesn't need to be an exploration vessel.)

[@Shaderox]

As a watched this and counted things, it seams like it's supposed to be run by a 6man crew. there is 6 armor lockers, 6 EVA lockers, 6 escape pods, 6 dining hall chair, 6 beds and 6 seats around the bridge. I guess that makes standard crews when it was still a serving military vessel a bit of a jack of all trades where each crewman would have to perform multiple roles aboard the ship and also on foot. I guess it makes sense for a long-range exploration vessel to have a skeleton crew.. I'm just thinking it really is a bit on the lower end (since you probably wanted a experienced doctor, engineer, pilot and people of various geologic/fauna/flora fields when exploring the unknown and then adding leadership roles, co-piloting, and all ship logistics/maintanence and security/combat training) to and the qualifications needed to get signed up must have been sky high. ....and if the ramp or button jams/breaks they're all stranded and can't get back in... perhaps in the future they can add an extendable ladder at the docking port or some kind of entrance in that unused area with the back elevator/turret.

[@maddogpcgs]

My issue is with the armory and where it is located, if you get boarded from either entry, garage, hangar, or even in a sense the docking collar, Boarders will probably be able to get to your armory faster than you and crew can if dont pre-emptivly go suit up. If they're stealthy , then odds are in their favor. When there is room in main bridge decks for at least some weaponry attatchments.

[@Kehvan]

This video reminds me of something... I think the books and magazines encountered in the verse should be collectable items you can pick up, read, and store in your inventory. The book and other items on the galley table, a player ought to have the ability to "clear the table" so to speak.

[@TheHangman1995]

Crazy seeing Delamar again.

[@wilhellandmagiocrity3642]

Love the video. Only issue that is critical with the Carrack is how do we get large components into the component room to change them or out of it to repair them?

[@lawofthewestgaming]

That same thing bugged me at first as well, and this is my take on what it's going to be used for. Instead of components it's going to be used to repair sub-components. Some Sub components are going to be able to do things like take the wear that the component would normally gain from every day use. And even a capital class sub component is going to be small enough to be moved by hand. So after the sub component takes enough damage or too much wear you'll be able to bring it up to the repair room and fix it there.

[@panzr110]

Damn good video. Your best yet maybe.

[@r.m.2598]

I like the slow ramp, makes the ship feel heavier.

I know this is late as hell (only started playing SC seriously the last few months), but I was wondering what the flight suit (as seen at around the 12:05 mark) you have on is? I haven't seen anything like it in the game so far. Great video and thank you for the content.

[@lawofthewestgaming]

Thanks for the comment, and in response to your question, the flight suit & helmet were promotional items that came bundled along with the mantis during its initial warbond sale.

[@durtyred86]

Yes. You'll be able to fly them out if need be but you're better off using the hangar as it limits the possibility of a bad exit/reentry.

[@-MaXuS-]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Really enticing however always when I look up the ships you’re reviewing they’re way, way, waaay too expensive. Is there some way to try out the ships offline using console or do you actually buy all the ships you’re reviewing? It would be nice to test ships and see if it’s worth taking the hit for it I guess.

[@lawofthewestgaming]

There's a number of ways to get around your problem. First, when in game, you can always use the global chat and ask is anyone would be willing to lend you a particular ship, it's a great community and very often people are happy to help. You could join an org where you're guaranteed that someone already owns whatever ship you want to try out, or you could wait for a free to fly weekend where all of the ships are made available for everyone to fly (which is put on several times a year). Or you could just buy the ships in game using the in game currency. A good portion of the flyable ships are already available to buy or rent in game and every ship will eventually be able to be purchasable in game using the in game currency. So if any ships are too expensive for you then don't worry their's plenty of ways around it.
