An Architect Reviews the Crusader Spirit [Star Citizen]

[@KrispyNuggetBoutique]

Not only is it bigger than a 737, all of its doors are also still attached to the fuselage.

[@citizens-Edz]

This is very true, a clear advantage to the 737 max

[@dannywastaken]

It's a 737 in size but in that video it rolls and twitches like a hummingbird after seven cups of coffee. They need to give those bigger ships some weight and inertia. They can always compensate by making them tougher. The shape is lovely though.

[@SmokedUpMage]

​@@dannywastaken it's aerodynamic and generates way more thrust I completely disagree

[@DodgeRaccoon]

​@dannywastaken in the SC ship scale this isn't a big ship, and it's weaker than other options in its weight class, so there has to be a reason for it to exist. And that is supreme maneuverability

[@Lupus_Indomitus]

Yeah, in the SC scale of ships its actually pretty small.​@@DodgeRaccoon

Morph, the architect's reviews are your strongest video category and your USP. Good work! As you release this video now, you should have mentioned the changes that will happen in 3.23. The C1 is not strong anymore and the Cutty Black is back in charge.

[@maxretik]

The C1 would be the absolute perfect upgrade for my starter Titan. I love relaxing and doing small cargo missions around the verse, it’s a great way to see the system and I like to role play as an old more jaded space trucker (he was a combat pilot until his back gave out). Maybe this comfy cruiser would save his aching back.

My friends and I have a little vulture squad but have had little motivation to continue cleaning our solar system of space junk. Listening to tunes and srcappin is always great, especially when with the boys. One thing lacking is the trip back and forth to sell after just a bit of work. This ship is like a dream come true. To have vultures popping out scrap and the sleek C1 swooping in and collecting the goods using its tractor beam. Just to jet over to the nearest station while dodging pirates millennium falcon style, to pay out for the boys. Grab burritos and beer at the station, profit repeat. Not to mention the absolute heinous amounts of fun we would have stuffing whatever fits inside the back. The design itself is the is immaculate, just what I imagine to be a fast and industrial transportation ship would look like. Don't get me started on the engines... and just the lines of the ship itself are something to behold. Looking at this ship never gets old... and it looks good while doing what it was designed for.

With the C1 spirit, I would most often perform missions such as transporting cargo or collecting things from shipwrecks thanks to the tractor beam, and sometimes I would perform bounty hunter missions, for example find and destroy the ship and when I get enough money for ROC I will sometimes dig rocks

[@Crusader_Minerva2952]

As a devoted Crusader enthusiast, I absolutely adore the C1 Spirit. I still vividly remember the excitement I felt when I successfully salvaged gold and medical supplies from the wreckage of a cargo ship using the C1. It's now my daily flyer, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I have no plans to replace it even if Zeus mk2 were ready to fly. I simply prefer the design languge of the Crusader and the C1 too much to part ways with it.

[@ZurakciEntertainment]

There are 3 things that could have made the Spirit ships better than what we got WITHOUT major changes and adding of another shield generator. 1. Move ALL the components to the back (Except avionics/radar/computer), freeing up the "Airlock" neck from the Living habs to the module bay so we can place the suit lockers and weapons in there instead on in the living habs. 2. Where the suit lockers and weapon racks once was, place an exit ladder airlock, as there is enough space to put this in there, both on the inside and outside. 3. Allow all variants to carry 4-8 SCU in the back of the ship, as the back is big enough to hold up to that amount in box size (Tested with both 2x 2scu boxes and 1x 8 SCU box), AND will put it higher on the list vs its competition who can all carry cargo despite its variant (Except the Cutlass STEAL, but we dont talk about that one). Other than that, the ship is pretty great, and a huge step up from the absolute failure of an delivered ship that is the Mercury Star Runner. It lacks a tiny bit in speed in atmosphere (also in 3.23), but thats cause the ship isnt aerodynamic. 400i is tho, which is why it is faster despite being heavier and with weaker thrusters.

[@Train115]

Personally, I am a fan of it's current layout. But that's just my opinion.

[@FltCaptAlan]

There is one simple change I would make, for the clearance light for the ramp to come on when the landing gear is deployed, it is kind of useless to only come on when you go to put down the door, it should still flash when the door is in motion, but the solid, thin red line should be lit upon deployment of landing gear

[@tgjaedan]

I do agree the components could have been rearranged to make a bit more room. I'd put an escape ladder/airlock in that middle airlock room with the suits/weapons just in case you need to EVA from the ship to prosecute external intruders without having to open up the main back door. I don't think we need a grid in the back because that would block the exit and really wouldn't make sense IMO. What they could do is carve out a little space on either side just into the wings to put a row of 4 or 5 1 SCU boxes in there. Still do think another shield is needed.

[@Axxo978]

C1 = 29k in Cargo runs on good profit C1 = Room for 1 small vehicle or a couple bikes MSR = 50k+ in Cargo runs on good profit MSR = Room for 1 medium sized vehicle, bikes & more K bye now :))

[@ZurakciEntertainment]

@@Axxo978 kek thinking that MSR is not a failure cause it can do money. MSR is a failure of a ship because CIG sized up the ship but not its function. 1. Despite being a Size 4 Ships (Like the Connie, 400i, Corsair), it did not get any size 3 components. 2. Despite being a Size bigger, it did not receive a good interior layout. about 50% of the ships interior is hollow, and there is enough space for a second floor. CIG telling you "They couldnt fit another entrance, docking port, or escape pods" is BS. 3. Ship was marketed as fast and nimble datarunner. After the size up, the ship is super slow. Because of the size up, and its bloated shape, its aerodynamic is worse than most ships, even of its class and bigger, which is something that the Spirits are also struggling with. They are too flat shaped on the front, which makes drag a bich. Sure you can now carry MORE cargo than before and possibly a vehicle, but you are also now a bigger target, with the same defenses as a size 2 and 3 ship. The MSR is a failure because CIG wanted it to be more, and ultimately made it less.

[@Clyph19]

The Spirit series is the pure embodiment of Crusader's ship-making prowess. It offers speed, versatility, and ruggedness in the sleek design language we all know and love from Crusader and their other ships. Despite its small flaws, the overpowering success of this design showcases CIG's expertise in ship designing, and is sure to please players for years. This ship follows a long lineage of Crusader ships by mimicking their striking design features and has truly become "the Spirit of Crusader". If I was fortunate enough to win this beautiful ship, the C1 would become the primary vessel my friend (new SC player) and I would use to explore the 'verse and transport cargo / supplies in that huge cargo bay in the back. Whether it's deploying vehicles out the back while low-flying or bringing components from crippled ships back to port, this amazing ship is sure to see plenty of action. I've been in anticipation of this review ever since the C1's release and it was so worth the wait! The cinematography blew me away and the tour was so high quality. Morphologis, please continue to produce these wonderful architect ship reviews for us. Thanks. -Clyph

It's so good to see you again bro, I missed these so bad. Sometimes it blows my mind I get to watch these high-quality videos for free, I feel like I should be paying, even if I can't afford it right now. Feeling real blessed.

[@readytopsplay]

I'm really late to this, but am I the only one that thinks that those engines are the best in the verse? And I LOVE that every functional part of the ship fits PERFECTLY with the design, for example the VTOL thrusters or rcs thruster things in the sides. Also, the animation is like really natural and makes sense to be like it is. All of this with having a GREAT texturing and 3d model. Like I'm not even kidding, the first time I saw the ship I fell in love with it. And getting the game with THIS beauty (It's my favourite ship by far) as a starter ship would be a dream. Thank you for the vid, Morphologis!

[@sailyourface]

The C1 Spirit seems like a natural progression from the starter ships! I've been considering upgrading to a Cutlass Black or a C1 but it's hard to pick between the cargo capacity of the C1 and the ship combat power of the Cutlass Black.

[@vextoro]

The C1, as others have said, would be a wonderful upgrade from my Avenger Titan. It would allow me to actually haul a bit of cargo, allowing that game loop to open, as well as some less-than-legal items. I've always wanted a Crusader ship, as i love their styling and interiors, but they're just so darn expensive!

[@si_yuzuuu790]

As someone who has just emerged from a years’ Star Citizen hiatus, the C1 is the reason why I got back into the game. I love the look of this ship, with its sleek lines and dual tone paint job. I especially love the details that they took from other Crusader ships, like the VTOL engines from the Hercules. The best metaphor that I can come up with is that it seems like the Swiss Army knife of spaceships in Star Citizen, with each feature adding to its versatility. I’ve been looking for a true solo daily-driver for as long as I’ve been playing Star Citizen, and with the C1, I feel like I've finally found it. I dabbled with the Mercury Star Runner for a while, but while I loved that ship, it just seemed like it was in a weird spot in terms of size and capability. I feel like the C1 would fill that gap perfectly for me, and I really hope that I can get my hands on it in the future.

Cinematogy is beautiful and it moves unlike many other creators I feel like you are a person who has perfected Reviewing ships designs and its really enjoyable to watch especially on the one ship that I own. Thank you.

[@TeeeeeVeeeee]

I would love to have the Crusader spirit because it allow you to do a wide variety of gameplay loops. The ship has just enough space to fit enough room for combat equipment for multiple people allowing you to do larger combat missions that are helped out by its great firepower. It works as an early game cargo hauler allowing for you carry enough cargo to start making good money to save up for the incredibly expensive cargo haulers like the C2. The Spirit also allows you to participate in my favorite part of the game: exploration. it has enough space to fit a vehicle and all the supplies you would need to explore all the nooks and crannies of Stanton while having a great time. on top of all of that it is one damn cool ship that I would be proud to fly across the galaxy.

[@Aeon-Lynx]

First reason; since I am a Marine Design Engineer, I would love the ship with another perspective, like appreciating the small touches for the design language, structural strength parts, pipings, maevelling engine and thrusters etc. Second reason is that I don't have a daily driver, and I really love the design language of Crusader Industries. I would really appreciate it if I won this! Long term player here, been playing since 2018, following the project since 2014. Can't get enough of this game and the amazing community!

Describing the crusader lineup as having a "modern aircraft look" completely nails it for me. The shapes might be weird, but there's always something oddly recognizable about them, especially with the cockpits. The engines too remind me of aircraft like the Concorde or the XB-70 Valkyrie. Definitely one of the most iconic and well-rounded ship lines in the game. (also the bomb bays are definitely taken shamelessly from nuclear submarines) I'd probably use it as a jack of all trades, cruising around with a friend hauling cargo and exploring planets we've never been to before

[@aaronpcantu]

This ship really caught me off guard when it was announced. Similar to the 400i, which I felt resistant to at first, it’s slowly grown to be one of my favorites! I’d love to be able to gift this ship + game package to my cousin who I’ve been trying to recruit into the verse for years!

[@guildsbounty283]

As someone who only actually owns an Aurora, I've long had the plan of picking up an "entry-level multicrew" ship in-game as a day-to-day flyer (I just can't justify spending the extra RL money on it). For a long time, the plan was to pick up the Freelancer and just deal with the over-sized crew capacity that I'd likely not use a lot. The plan was to use it as a solo flyer, and just put an AI Blade on the tailgun. The Spirit C1 honestly suits this desire even better. The second crewman is even less necessary, and the ship's performance is much more in-line with my play style (I'd rather avoid and evade combat than throw myself into it--so the C1's speed, acceleration, greater power production plays well to that). And the wider body makes it even more friendly to carrying ground vehicles. All-in-all, this ship would probably be my daily flyer for a long, long time.

[@ultrvstellvr]

I want the ship for two reasons. One : it comes with the Game 🤣 Two : Crusader is my favourite ship maker. I remember saying this to a Star Citizen French streamer, WaterPatate, if I had to use only one ship maker in the game, it would be Crusader. The C2 Hercules was my favourite ship in the game until this very C1 Spirit. So, I'll finally have the game +and on top of that, my favorite ship.

​@@themetascroom5063that is true, and if you want the c1 it doesn't cost anymore to upgrade than it does to buy standalone, buy the best package possible under 120 dollars and then upgrade for 5 dollars to c1, the trick is you have to have a package a minimum of 5 dollars less than the c1 standalone. Total cost is still only 125.00

I don't own it because it wasn't enough any more to explore all the aspect of this game. However, here you are again, showing me all the possibility on a ship I didn't thought about, the C1 Spirit. It has something I've been looking into for some time: a cargo bay that is to store a vehicle. Of course, Star Citizen have a lot of ship that are able to do the same, but I was looking for a medium ship, that could store the R.O.C while keeping a sleek and quite small stature if we compare it to the other ship able to do the same thing. So again I thank you, because you keep opening my eyes about a ship I would have not looked into by myself.

[@stradius]

I don't just want a Spirit, I specifically want the E1. Ever since I started playing Star Citizen, one of the things that irked me was that there wasn't a good "taxi" option for shuttling friends around from planet to station and the like; sure, there were options that worked, but nothing sleek and fancy unless you went all the way up to a 400i or Connie Phoenix. I had literally been lamenting about that the week the E1 got announced, and I was so so stoked for it - the fact that they didn't put it out with others was frustrating, but it did mean I could wait longer and try to save up for one myself. If I win the C1, it'll be upgraded for sure. Also, props for using the Crusader locations for this video, really added some professionalism to it!

[@Paul-cu9lu]

If anything, my primary use case for the c1 would be for covert infiltration of planets and stations. The ship itself is not classified as a combat ship, and thusly will be a common sight among the space lanes. With so many NPCs and players making use of it for cargo running and general use, just one more among the crowd will have a much higher chance of going un-noticed. Combine that with a scan scrambler, and it would be a perfect little ship for inserting, or extracting a covert ground team.

Hey Morphologis! The Crusader Spirit C1 caught my eye for two big reasons: its multi-crew capabilities and impressive cargo capacity. As someone who loves playing with friends in the 'verse, the idea of crewing this ship together for epic adventures is incredibly exciting.

I would love a C1! I have been partial to Crusader's ships ever since i first started playing Star Citizen, and you, my friend, are definitely part of the reason why! I've never owned a permanent ship by buying it from the website, I've always earned my keep in game, and so if i had to choose one to buy, the Spirit is a no-brainer choice for me. It would absolutely become my new favorite ship to do just about anything in, from risky salvage, to prison busts, Jumptown, Ghost Hollow, and simple courier missions. I'd take that baby everywhere! Have i gotten other ships in-game that would do any one of those better? Of course. Would I rather fly any of them over the spirit? Absolutely not!

[@Miniscozzie]

Honestly, the C1 strikes such an amazing balance between style and functionality. I had the pleasure of flying in someone's C1 for a bit and I think it'd make a great little blockade runner. If I were to get it, it would also be the first 'big' ship I have. Right now I'm flying my Syulen, so it would make missions with boxes and light cargo much simpler and streamlined. A gorgeous ship, and a wonderful review, Morphologis.

[@ThePherBear]

I love how agile and fast the Spirit is. It handles with perfection and is a great solo and/or multi-crew starter ship to use as a daily driver. With it you can do plenty of quick "in-and-out" cargo deliveries, making it a great addition to salvage gameplay (both legal and "legal") with the Vulture. I agree with your comment in regards to some sort of seating with the kitchenette, having bunkbeds instead of two single beds, hope to see some sort of retractable seats and tables akin to what you'd get on the Constellation series (which in turn doesn't even have a kitchenette!).

[@gameboxfreak]

Man, looking at that intro you made really shows how beautiful this game is.. and how badly this game still needs to iterate on its flight model, because despite being a massive, 1000 ton vessel, this ship still looks completely massless and uncanny as hell when maneuvering.

[@jediblackbelt2443]

The Spirit has to be my favorite design in the game. Maybe its because I have some IRL flight experience but I love the "plane" vibes the ship gives off. The fact that they named it the Spirit makes believe it was a homage to the IRL B2 Spirit, the airframes are similar even if their function isn't. The cargo variant is extremely versatile in what it can carry, it can do cargo missions but can also move equipment, it can transport people if needed, and the fact that its effectively 1 1/2 crewmembers makes it great for people who want to try solo missions while still being flexible enough to run multi crew missions. All around very well rounded in terms of balance for newer players and absolutely one of the best designs in the game.

Great review! I upgraded to the C1 when it came out. Gorgeous ship and a lot of fun to fly. Compared to the Cutlass I usually fly, it's a lot better for bounties. It can take a lot of damage (and it does) before anything is critical. The cargo bay is huge for the class and much more usable than the Lancer's narrow tube or the Cutlass's irregular jumbled space. I'd love a second entry so you can stuff a third 32 scu box in the hold and still get in/out. My biggest problem is the landing footprint. It's hard to put down flat anywhere and the single entry exacerbates that if your ramp ends up too high off the ground. If you want a landing craft, the Cutlass is way better. Land anywhere and the side doors feel like jumping off a huey. It is also assigned too-small hangars, making it dangerous to take off/land. So I just wish the wings folded up. It already looks like they do. It's hard to say I _need_ to win the ship, but it would be nice if it had LTI.

Also, I agree with you, having a secondary entrance and a cozy table to eat would have been preferable, but I still love this ship.

[@donotperceivethefrog]

I adore the design of this ship, the sleek look, those flared bits right over the thrusters, it all just works so well. I am primarily a solo player, but it is always nice to have a ship capable of multi crew gameplay. Whether that's for getting a friend to join you, finding someone in chat to help out with a mission, or just giving someone a ride. The Cutlass Black has been my go to for ages, but I could see the C1 taking its place easily, as much as I love my cutty it isn't quite as pretty as this one. That and the extra versatility the C1 brings, with more cargo space and that tractor beam (even if it is a little jank). Anyhow, winning this from you or not, one of these will likely end up in my fleet someday down the line. Thanks for the great look at the ship, excellent video as always!

[@LINKER_4134]

A few months ago some Friends got me to start playing star, and one of the things i did while learning about the Game was checkíng ships, mainly searching tours and reviews on yt, and as i found the C1 i completely love It, started viewing all the videos i could find about this ship and bothering my Friends about all the features and how amazing the C1 is, since then i've been waiting for it to be purchaseable for ingame credits since i cant afford to use real cash rn, it would be amazing if i could own one and fly it every day

[@brettk97]

The C1 would be the perfect smaller cargo runner for my fleet, decent SCU space and great speed to get around. The tractor beam being able to load boxes into the ship is also a huge plus imo, especially when doing salvaging with friends. And it just looks absolutely amazing!

[@joshsantha8090]

I've always loved the crusader design language and this ship is no exception. I think this is one of the perfect medium ships that can do a bit of everything like cargo missions. It's speedy, sleek and big enough to be useful in most missions but not too big where you need a whole crew to operate it.

[@nz67s86]

I got to check out the C1 spaceship, a size 3 medium cargo ship. This ship is pretty awesome, both in terms of functionality and looks. It comes with a tractor beam, making it super easy to load and unload cargo. Operating it is straightforward too; you just need to follow some basic spaceship controls and tractor beam instructions to efficiently manage and transport goods. Plus, it looks really cool, showcasing some sleek futuristic design. All in all, the C1 spaceship is not just great in terms of what it can do but also looks super impressive. It's definitely a top pick for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient cargo transport solution.

[@MidniteLaw]

It's Crusader, don't need another reason. I love this ship.

[@Asaelus]

While the Drake Cutlass Black has been my go-to ship for a long time now, as a student pilot, this ship really tickles my aviation flight bone. It really puts into memory the human need and want for travel. The C1 Spirit would 100% become my daily for the rest of my citizen career.

[@TheAlexvm007]

I absolutely adore the way the hatches open up revealing interior parts to the ship such as the weapons, landing gear and especially the bomb bay , i spend so long when it was available during a freefly just admiring the way the bombing bay opens up and you can see them drop, the lights around the ramp are a gorgeous detail that give it a real quality of life function feeling like modern day cars, something so simple added such imersion for me, the design with the way the wings look seperated from the main body due to the panneling but it all still fits so well togheter , and the way that it sort of reminds me of mass effects normandy, i instantly fell in love with this ship and have been wanting to get one since, as a person who mostly does cargo hauling and salvaging i definetly want one of these for my personal small runs and as my main all around vehicle, maybe even some riskier cargo with a friend if you catch my drift ;)

[@eric90000]

Incredible video! Winning a C1 Spirit ship would be a game-changer for me! I'd use it for all sorts of things - hauling cargo, mining with my ROC, and just getting around the galaxy every day. It's the perfect all-around ship for whatever I need to do. Thanks for the chance!

[@Falcon_00_7]

I really like how the Spirit looks. The Crusader design language is one i thoroughly enjoy in general, but i think these ships are the pinnacle of what we have seen from them so far.

[@danyhocine]

I followed the developpement of the game from afar since 2016 or 2017, and I only started playing last year. Started with an Aurora, upgraded to a Cutter, and then a Syulen (which is amazing) but crusader has that something that ressembles to what "futuristic" looked loke in the 80's and I love it. The interior of the Crusaders has that clean, Kubrick 1960's Odyssey interior. Would love to use it because it is so versatile, and my go to is : Cargo capacity and Fight capability; and this has both

[@Hous3ofpros]

I’ve been absolutely loving getting back into this game. I have a buddy of mine that got me into it, but has fell out of love with it but said he’d give it one more go once 3.23 came out. This would be such an awesome way to get back into the game together; running cargo, bounty hunting, and many other missions.

[@lizard5558]

In star citizen I’ve never really bought ships for there functionality but for there looks there’s something about cruising through the stars in a beautiful ship that’s makes the game feel special which is why I think this ship would be perfect for me

[@ethanhoward6828]

I'd use the Crusader Spirit first for a pleasure cruise, as it's one of my all time favorite spaceships. I actually attempted to build a lego model, however the model evoved into a Hercules due to some poor structural design choices lol. After that, I'd use it to do cargo missions to begin building my fleet collection, as well as getting my friends to try Star Citizen.

[@AK_Wolf95]

It honestly gives me so much nostalgia when I see the ship it weirdly reminds me of the Normandy SR-2 from Mass Effect 2 with it's silhouette. I know they actually look nothing alike but it invokes that nostalgia in me when I see it. If I ended up lucky enough to win it I'd probably mostly use it for exploring planets by loading it up with 1-2 ground vehicle options as I live out of it with some delivery missions here and there just for a bit of extra cash.

[@AlanAbruzzo]

I've been craving diving into this game and this ship is pushing me over that edge. What a lovely design. Looks like a blast to start exploring with.

[@Dajnish]

I love the sleek design both inside and outside and I always adored all the smaller multi-crew ships. Not to mention the V-tol... That back light is such a cool QoL feature. I'd say it's a 'must have' on a lot of cargo ships at least. The rail for the seats is great for a bit of 'separation' from your 'living quarters. I think it'd be an awesome upgrade to my Aurora because I'd finally be able to bring a friend and multi-crew a ship while cargo running or every day use!

[@Dreygos]

The C1 spirit is perfect for traveling with friends. By taking on board a small transport and crates of provisions, you can explore new worlds.

[@danicastaneda1099]

While it's not great for fighting, and can't take a big hit either, the C1 is an absolutely amazing ship with such a beautiful design. It's perfect for looking into cargo, box missions of the sort, and ground mining (of which I dable in), and while the majority don't do any of those, who wouldn't want to fly it daily and explore? I've also noticed how maneuverable it is for it's size, which is awesome because the slower maneuvering of ships only a bit larger then it isn't something I'm a fan for. Plus it's acceleration is amazing for getting out of a pinch, and the tractor beam can be quite handy. All around it's a gorgous ship you can do plenty of things with, and oh man do I wish I had it. Some day Chris, some day.

[@allang205]

I've been eyeing the Spirit C1 ship for quite some time now, and it's an absolute marvel of engineering and design (it's the little details like the thruster turning on and the ramp lights); its versatility makes it ideal for exploration, mining, and transport.

[@tomaschalas1650]

Honestly, C1 just feels like amazing starter ship coming form Elite. Being able to actually do some cargo hauling as well as everything else...looks like great allrounder to me. Also it is just gorgeous, I´m in love with that desing.

[@tebasak1]

Crusader ships are absolutely stunning, and perfect for bunker running or bounty hunting (you know, what I like to do).

[@bobbymac5750]

Great video. I fell in love with the c1 with vulture combo during the free fly. your video made me take a look at this ship and i am glad i did. cant wait to be able to get one for daily use. the combo with thew vulture was perfect for salvage. also the nice cargo area allowed me to try delivery missions and even felt big enough for the yellow jacket to get to the pesky bunkers with guns. this ship really feels like a great balance. my previous favorite was the MSR, but once i started playing with the c1, it quickly became the go to ship in the lineup.

[@TaintedFelineOvertime]

Beautiful camera work as always. While I would love to have a C1 for more ground-based work, the Cutter Rambler stole my heart with its cuteness.

[@jonascrawley]

Love the C1. In fact melted my Freelancer Max and got the C1 at IAE. it’s become my daily driver for sure. I’m not a PVP’er so it’s some what lack in that area is not a problem for me. Another great review, keep up the great work!

[@durandalo11]

Having a nice small multicrew ship could really help me to get my friends online and running missions, id love to have a crusader ship too, the look of their ships is always astounding!

[@marsa958]

After some days in the verse, my avenger titan starts to feel a bit like home. the spirit somehow sends a similar message while using a whole other language and would be a great big brother for the titan. i would really enjoy to gift it to my friend to get him started in the verse as well. the penguin wants an albatross he can explore with together. keep up this great series btw!

[@Sryd770]

I'm sure everyone else feels the same sense of hype when Morphologis drops a new review. Dude produces gold EVERYTIME.

[@jimmytheanimator8644]

Having just the Pisces expedition this was an incredible experience to learn about. I love the crusader series and especially the star runner, this is eyecandy

[@a_chull]

Every time I see the C1 it reminds me of a mini Normandy from Mass Effect. I love the look, how versatile it is, and it would be awesome to fly around the Verse in. Another design win for Crusader!

[@ItsEVO]

I already loved flying the C1 when I had the chance during Invictus and that was before I had a dual stick setup and since then it's going so much nicer. And I found it to be my favorite for doing anything that I would normally bring the Cutlass sound for because it had the maneuverability and the speed that I like

[@mechjankmaster3739]

As someone who has the A1 bomber, I honestly love the design behind all of crusader ships, the spirit series has a nice symmetrical look to it. Having the C1 would definitely help me appreciate the spirit series more, since I don't use the A1 I have a lot

[@Balkan_Stag]

Crusader definitely has some of my favorite design language. I personally tend to lean more towards Origin ships, but as far as a daily runabout the C1 has that perfect blend of style and utility that's perfect for me.

[@bblemon9527]

I personally like the living space on the C1 Spirit in the video, even though it is in the same area as the cockpit. Its appearance is really attractive, and I would like to fly it around for trading

[@HtoTheB]

Currently flying around in a C8X expedition this ship looks like it hits the same spot, just bigger. It will be fantastic for laid back cruising around the verse, doing some hauling, and occasionally getting to beat the heck out of a lonely pirate.

[@JayAndre562]

I would love the ship because its design language really speaks to me. It’s fun small versatile and the name spirit just does feel iconic like stated in the video. It’s really a unique little multi crew package.

[@dustfang5422]

Your work, as always, is gorgeous. I think I'd use that spirit as a daily, personal transport, and a way to tool around with friends on occasion! Plus a light, fast cargo craft could get itself into plenty of trouble =)

[@m1thral571]

The C1 is what got my attention back into star citizen. There is just something about it’s elegant profile. I admit the interior feels a little off being just one long corridor. But I want nothing more that to fly that ship across stanton and beyond. I don’t need any other ship when I get my hands on this ship. This is easily the best ship ever to be made.

[@hedeen15]

I would use it's tractor beam to catch to catch the A2's bombs a fling them right back at them... Seriously though great video as always. Glad to hear your voice again in a new ship review. Keep it up my dude 😎

[@themightymo3491]

I bought a Spirit because to me everything about it from the name to the sleek design and kind of non-combat role feels optimistic in a way. The ship for me brings a sense of wonder to playing the game; I feel like a little kid going up in a plane for the first time. The engines have this magnificent growl when you punch the afterburner, too, and the acceleration is absolutely awesome. It's like the Millennium Falcon got a shower, a shave, and put on a nice shirt.

[@tobiaschristensen6217]

A wonderfull ship, that i have wanted since its reveal, its so beautiful and sleek. Me and my brother fly together, but we dont have a multicrew ship, so we haven't been able to do missions together like we hoped. The C1 would be perfect to go on adventures together in, see the stars, maybe little bit of combat, but also the chill days with some cargo hauling. A daily driver we both could fly and adventure in.

[@jacenvila3962]

Just a few seconds in and I go "I want that ship". Seeing the interior makes me want it even more. It's a gorgeous looking lady.

[@saju_thomas]

I've been following the Crusader Spirit C1 since it was just a concept sketch, and I'm absolutely captivated by its design and sleekness. Currently, I'm piloting the Drake Corsair, but the Spirit C1's aesthetics and functionality really stand out to me. I'm all about calm gameplay, and I've been dreaming of using this stunning ship for delivery missions and the occasional retrievals-where I 'relieve' NPC ships of their attached weapons to store and resell in the 'verse. Owning the Spirit C1 would not only elevate my experience but also fit perfectly with my play style. Also, I really appreciate your architecture-oriented reviews. The calmness of your videos and the in-game cinematography are incredibly engaging. One of my favorites is your review of the Origin 600i-it’s another ship I’m eager to have, even though it doesn't have missions revolving around it yet. As someone working in the creative industry, I often have your videos playing on my background monitor to drown out office noise and soak in the creative vibes. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly make this dream a reality!
