[@MichaelEllis14]

Thumbs up for the thumb! 👍

[@Arms2]

As a 3D artist of 6 years, I can say that you're right about the liberator. From a 3d modeling and texturing perspective, it is a pretty simplistic design. There isnt really any complex geometry on the ship, and most of the hull consists of right angles and panels. A lot of the detail present on the ship is most likely from trim and stamp sheets, which speeds up the creation process a lot.

[@ChristianSamsel]

Not much detail, yet. We don't know how much effort will be put in the final product

[@tehBirry]

All I can say about it is, we bought into the project a decade ago. Rather than working on the .jpegs they sold us upfront, they're using resources to market new concepts. Where it would make more sense to complete work on items already sold, then use the applicable development and successes to quickly design and flush out new concepts later... Why are we letting FOMO drive us into emptying our wallets when we haven't gotten the big dreams initially sold tbw?

[@Arms2]

@@tehBirry I agree. Personally, I don't really know how I feel about the Ironclad yet. Like you said, they are starting work on it before other ships that they've had in concept for years. Not to say I dont love the design, I think it looks awesome, but I just wish they would finish the ships they've already shown us, rather than show us brand new ships.

[@arrisan8283]

​@@Arms2 for me, ironclad not here yet, it's not whiteboy but purely to confirm global size of the ship and if it's work, so really, nothing in work currently. Also, it goes in a direction, there curretly working on RSI capital ship and i think drake is next, we know they have trained new guys on the shipbulding team with smal ship and variant, plus the fact drake got quite a few ship in these year (cutter series / vulture / corsair) and seems to get bigger. Plus pyro will be next, we know pirate love drake so....

[@Haegemon]

I don't think the congestion is on the 3D art department. Modeling the interior is more an arduous task than the exterior, but are several studios working on it after a decade of work we are talking about. It's been work redone and work scrapped and work done but unreleased during this time, but also the priorities put on Squadron42.

[@yosephtaha7218]

At least your thumb situation fits the Drake theme 😂

[@finnix6873]

👍

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

What would be really cool is if there was a place (manufacturing center, similar to the distribution center) where you can see the new and concept ships under construction, and the level of detail would be the same as the detail being put into the ship from the developer side. I guess like how you can see the C2 being manufactured, but showing actual progress of the ship. I would visit those often to see the progress.

[@Baleur]

15:00 imagine if CIG just, for a test, tuned up the g-force reactions to realistic levels when you stand / crouch / prone inside a ship thats flying and doing 8g turns. So that basically, you get thrown around and damaged, so you're guaranteed to die in 5 minutes from the nonstop damage. Then, instantly, in 1 patch, everyone will have a use and demand for the dropships with seats, or simply regular ships that have 2-3 seats extra (or beds). Like, it would be so easy for CIG to make dropships useful. But they're so scared of making the game "harder" because of the spectrum rants that would follow. Or hell, they could even soft-tune it so you approx get a tier 3 leg or arm injury every 10min. That would still mean you can do combat and be functional, but at least it would give a TINY incentive to actually get a dropship. But no, CIG are too scared to make the game what the ships were intended for. And where's the Starfarer after all the coding to make refuelling possible? Nobody uses it, ever. Because we all whined about fuel range. So CIG never even bothered to implement a refuelling beacon, or fix the beacons at all. So we're left with a whole class of ships that are useless, and will remain useless. And no, these "jumpseats" wont matter travelling from Stanton to Pyro either. Why even bother making the trek with 30 marines? Just all meet and spawn in Pyro instead, then do all your business there. I dont see the utility in having 30 marines sit afk while passing through a jumpgate, when EVERYONE playing teh game has their own spaceship anyway (because there is no free to play model or version without a ship bundled).

[@gabrielibarra5551]

1000% you worded this way better than i have but ive been trying to say this for a long time. Dropships are completely useless, people get lost in the imaginary scenarios they make up in their head but infantry in general is completely usesless unlesd going inside a base or ship (which at that point the only option is the legionnaire). And CIGs lack of a backbone in making this the realistic sim its supposed to be (though tbh i think death of a spaceman is a completely aimless concept with no future in any type of mmo)

[@HansangVibration]

yep, that was my worry too. Also my first thought when a friend showed me his dropship. Like: Yay, we can play toghether! You sit in the chair while i do the stuff. WHY?!

[@Danmar2003]

I would like to see a medical version of the cutter in Star Citizen, I think that could be pretty sick

[@rowdyverboven9286]

no we have already 3 versions we need rsi galaxy and perseus in game

[@PlayerSlotAvailable]

Logic / lore wise. Considering we can fit a medical bed in a ursa. There is no reason whatsoever to not fit one on most ships in the game.

[@mrdashin8323]

If actually buy one if it was the cutter ems.

[@deeked700]

We basically already do in the Pices Medical. Theres no point from a development standpoint in having to fully build a second ship type that falls into the exact same niche as something else already in and functional

[@polblanes]

@@rowdyverboven9286 and you think making a medical cutter would prevent them from making the perseus and the galaxy? xD The perseus will be made by the people currently working on the polaris after it's released. The galaxy will not be worked on until the gameplay features it has to support are ready.

[@Pappy_1775]

* A lesser-known fact about the Cutters, the Rambler has a huge fuel tank for long-distance travel. I've got both the Scout and the Rambler for that reason. * That column right in the middle of the back room of the Corsair was originally meant to be a server stack like the servers inside the MSR. Old interior drawings labeled that middle column as a server stack. The ship also had planned an under-floor section behind the copilot seat leading back next to where the stairs are in the cargo bay (just like the MSR again). It is why the cargo bay is lower than the rest of the ship (again like the MSR). Who knows if in the future they may bring back the server stacks to allow data running like the MSR. * If I remember from the old days logging off resets your spawn in ships only. I remember always having to set it again if there was a 30k or something.

[@spyguy3451]

He also would have likely joined a different server; making the Cutty Red in the server he joined a totally different ship

[@takealready]

Mark my words, the two ships that will break the internet, when they are released will be the Banu Merchantman and the Kraken. You won't be able to open a tan on your browser without seeing someone talking about The Kraken or the Merchantman. I look forward to that day.

[@HansangVibration]

absolutely true, my brother

[@DJHumla]

Olli-Olli, can we get a ship tier list from you? I think it would be cool to see where you rank alot of them 🙌🏻

[@QU1KS1LVAR]

So long as they are not all S tier lol

[@DJHumla]

@@QU1KS1LVAR yeah i could see Olli just slamming every ship into S tier (as literally every ship is his favorite ship XD) and then like 3 down in F tier 😂😂

[@flanflanjp_]

Crusader ships are an absolute Get Smart door nightmare. 4 doors, an elevator/ledge and a ramp to enter/exit the MSR drives me absolutely nuts, especially when every door takes 5 seconds to open. When you include the city bed spawn, elevator ride to ground level, transit ride, ship selection, and elevator to hangar, it's enough to make me not want to play or visit planets. Bedlogging is also broken most of the time.

[@fenrisulv]

The door delay is the sole reason I dont fly crusader ships haha, so you're not the only one :p

[@darkenoidgaming2229]

I managed to obtain a kraken this Invictus week so am happy

[@danny1988221]

Ohh.. as a Kraken owner myself o7 congrats!

[@ReinQuest]

I never seen the Polaris flying. I seen the Idris docked once but I was unable to tour it. As far as Anvil they had nothing to be sad about missing.

[@spyguy3451]

It did fly around separately from the Idris this ILW but they were very closely intertwined.

[@vamperic]

They never sold modules for the Drake Cat but they did confirm recently in a dev reply that modularity is still very much the plan for it

[@mwalker3005]

We're just thankful you're doing okay. Anvil will be back next year.

[@moebi_]

Get well soon Olli. your videos, good mood and motivation always make my day! Keep up the good content!

[@Maverrick2140]

yeah the doors are a pain .. it always takes exactly long enough to reach for the button to open it, to then open one millisecond before and the prompt actually closes the door in your face instead ..

[@mazack00]

I love the corsair layout because it's defendable. Also, if you run up and smack the open button, it's actually a little bit faster, same with the herc. I think they put the delay in to try and curb a lot of the open/close spam that used to happen. Great video as always! EDIT: You were too far away from the cutty. For T3 beds, you must be within 20km.

[@kubadvorak996]

Yea I hate the slow doors too! You are not the only one.

[@Fesey_]

Valkyrie DOES have a door to the cockpit, just needs to be manually opened and closed

[@venlac6356]

The Valkyrie also has a horrible lower turret that will get crushed on hard landings.

[@mazack00]

redeemer too when powered on, sometimes when powered off too due to a bug that keeps it extended.

[@sirannikus]

One of the NPCs looking at the Kraken looks really stoked!

[@SinfulRxven]

I think that they said before that they were going Polaris -> Galaxy -> Perseus and at citcon they said (regarding cap ships) they're going by manufacturer first, so RSI is first, then the next and the next etc

[@whatever833]

The pop up was working for me on most ships for Invictus.

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

20:41 I had my eye on the Drake Cutter as my first ship but ended up getting the Avenger Titan Invictus package, it just seemed too good a value to pass up. It's currently cheaper than the Cutter and you get some nice extras !

[@MiirTube]

I did the same with the Ironclads. To be honest I can't imagine the hatch not being there on both. Another problem however, the tractorbeams seems replaced aswell meaning the base variant might still be relevant even if both can open the hatch.

[@thePrisoner1000]

Thx for the fun and informative video Ollie!

You're not alone with the Polaris - no one in my (admittedly not huge) org saw the thing and few of us were looking pretty hard. And still wish the co-pilot seat of the cutty was pilot seat, so just flip-flop them

[@BradVilla]

"Building the Ironclad will help us build the Kraken." The way I see it is "The Kraken will help us build the Ironclad." It goes both ways CIG!

[@arrisan8283]

It's true, but the iron clad is smaller, especially if you take ou the cargo area, if you look at what they get out, we have gotten the cutter series / corsair / vultur. So a lot of work on drake getting slowly bigger in size. In another way they did say they where training new guys on the shipbulding team by doing small ship and variant. For now i place a bet that drake is the next to receive capital ship because pyro will go out and we all know how much pirate love drake.

[@bryanwithawhy]

I picked up the Apollo Triage, the red one, and I have the Cutlass Rescue as a loaner 'til that JPEG is available. Haven't tested the respawn just yet. I bought the Blue a few months ago, love that ship. Hell, I love all the ships I own. Bit of a Drake/Origin/Crusader fanboy with a few of the greatest hits mixed in: Aquila (3 vehicle in 1? take my money), Apollo, Zeus. Might need to hire people off the street to be my friend for the day so I can see my fleet fly, lol.

[@festersmith8352]

The Black is a better all around ship than the Blue. But it was the Blue that got me to by my first Cutlass. And its the Blue that I pull out more than anything else. I don't know why, but the Blue just gives better feels. And it can't just be the round cockpit glass, or pretty lights you rarely see.

[@stefensmith9522]

The Kraken for me all about living out the old G.I. Joe Carrier operations fantasy 😂. I got the privateer and can't wait for it to FINALLY be worked on after all this time !
