Star Citizen added this.. and it's incredible.

Star Citizen 3.21 added a new ship the Sprit A1 from Crusader. It's an insane first look at the spirit line. I'm not joking folks, star citizen 3.21 and citizen con is going to be massive.

Those were armour pods not escape pods, the beds double as escape pods judging by the labels below the beds!

[@Baltazar009]

This comment deserve way more likes. I was in ship in game but completely miss this.

[@arrclyde4325]

Almost every video i see, the creator mistakes the suit locker for the escape pod. The funny part is, that Olli knees down in front of the bed and has the writing "ESCAPE POD" right in his view. 😂 But at least he noticed the light warning markings for the ramp, which many others just miss.

@@arrclyde4325 The light strip warning is both a nice QoL and a very cool aesthetic choice.

I like that the A1 makes bombing more accessable, before we only have the A2 I think, and is a very expensive ship.

[@SabbaticusRex]

There was also the Eclipse which is much more affordable than the A2, and the Retaliator as well. The Eclipse have 3 size 9 Missiles, and the Retaliator has 4 Size 9 Torpedoes

It doesn't do incredibly well in straightforward combat. It is nimble, but it is also lightly shielded for its size, it also has a pretty small weapons capacitor for the pilot

I find it hard to get excited about ships these days, since there's rarely a reason to use most of them - if they even have their gameplay features. But you gotta hand it to them, the design, art, animations, etc just keep getting better and it's already amazing. So much detail. Good job CIG.

[@Jellybeantiger]

Yeah but how much?

[@Anonnymouse53]

@@Jellybeantiger Much much. SO much much.

[@doomslayerforever2858]

My guess over $100.maybe 1k lol

[@billyjurant5183]

Yeah and it only serves to highlight how the previous 80% of ships designed and produced in the last decade have not aged at all well. CIG will forever be chasing their own tail bringing other ships up to the ever moving "gold standard". If they even bother, personally I believe they will cut their losses at some point.

[@phillbosque2183]

I know it's not the 'rule of cool,' but i think it would be neat if there was an audio delay between seeing the explosion and hearing it, like it real life depending on how far you are. Also pair that with a visible shockwave!

[@_CRiT_hits_]

Maybe in 2033

[@loldoctor]

I 1000% agree. Personally, the delay between sight and sound only makes the sound even cooler-building anticipation, etc. Would love to see it in the game. Although I don’t see bombing being a common gameplay loop anytime soon.

[@thefrenchspacer]

Maybe even no sound at all on moon without atmo

[@JacopoSkydweller]

Some bombs definitely have that IIRC, maybe just not added to these yet?

[@hassaneljebyly2868]

Aaaaand it's delayed again by 10 years 😂

[@jedi_drifter2988]

Not escape pods ... more like your lockers for armor etc.

[@madog221]

i feel like the A1 needs to be flown like the B1 lancer, fast and low. and it would be cool if you could use smaller bombs so it could carry more. for example the B1b lancer can carry up to 144 GBU-39 small diameter bombs, could you imagine a strafing run on jump town with that many bombs.

[@Tyrain3]

There should be cluster bombs at some point

[@thefrenchspacer]

could use cluster bombs, each big bombs containing many small bombs that scatter during the fall to cover a wide area

[@JacopoSkydweller]

Yeah definitely need to be able to swap the big chungui out for a bunch of little ones. Or drop supply "bombs", armor case "bombs", ammo "bombs" etc. Suddenly you have bomber and high speed low drag ground logistics.

Thanks, Oli for expressing what I feel and so many others in your videos. Totally dorking out with you. Let's Go CitCon

The sound from those engines 😮😮

You should see the bomb and missile bays open up when you switch to missile/bomb mode. Same for the top two pilot guns when you toggle power for weapons.

[@SabbaticusRex]

I love stick-y out-y bits that fold away safely . That way they don't get caught on three branches or slapped off of the hull when parking . . =>

[@Vandreal_Wolf]

Great looking ship, I have one. I have only one really gripe: it's too big for it's size class. This is supposed to be in a competitive category with the Cutlass series, and now the Zeus. The Spirit CL is only 42 SCU, but the Zeus is supposed to be 128 SCU? Now, if the Zeus does end up with 128 I'll love that, the Spirit with only 42 and it being bigger than anything else in it's class size is a bit nuts. The Spirit is nearly the same size as the MSR.

[@SabbaticusRex]

Incredible ... Chris has a great eye for cool factors and equally great artists around him .

I was kinda: myeah yeah the Spirit I guess it can be nice. But after being in one... OH MY WORD. The C1 will be my daily driver, at least one of them. It's SO NICE. It's superb! I love it! And yes I love those details like the sound from the cupboard opening being the reverse just about from it closing :)

[@jbirdmax]

C1 = Mercury Star Lancer. That rear entrance looks so much like the Freelancer. Plus the bombs 😜

[@Spike.SpiegeI]

Very clean ship, between this and F8C the hype dial is turned up going into citizen con!!

[@ScientistMan96]

Also, by the looks of it, the rear turret is also on a track, like the Scoripus. Looks like the normal top mounted position for a 180 view of the top hemisphere, and a position back and below the tail fins to look down and back. Great for observing damage on target from the bombs, or ground strafing. Is also why the tailfin has the fancy split design. So the turret can pass between them to the lower position.

[@DevilishSevenNine]

Hilarious moments with your attempt to drop bomb when basically landed. Lol you laugh was infectious

[@billywashere6965]

I thought it was nice that the bomb got stuck in the ground first.

[@Thelrox]

It kinda reminds me of a smaller Normandy from Mass Effect. Insane attention to detail and nice craftmanship. Very impressive

[@hyperslow556gungamer]

In the center of the two tail pieces is a chain drive hoist rail, like that of those used in heavy equipment shops; the i-beam along the ceiling with assisted manual chain lift. Looks like it may extend in-between and past the tail pieces. It looks as if the rail is exposed on the inside ceiling of the cargo bay. That's cool!

[@Shaderox]

Good video on the ship, only thing missing is the bomb bay door animation with is kind cool to look at. all the hatches opens like a wave traveling down or up the ship.

[@Lestat070707]

Not just its looks, lighting, detail, I love the sounds too, so adds to the feel of the ship. I'm more interested in the cargo and transport version for my character, so I can't wait for those to be in game purchase.

[@PatrickFisker]

gotta love that the fury fits inside

[@arrclyde4325]

Cool video Olli. As others have mentioned, you have mistakenly identified the suit locker for the escape pods. Just look down at the beds.... 😉 I know you just want to show the ship, but you need to train your muscle memory for the future: Open the ship, get in and immideatly SHUT THE DAMN RAMP! 😂

[@themando-smith]

The A1 actually fits all cyclone variants, the PTV and STV and the ROC single seater quite comfy. So it is actually already usable for a lot of stuff mission wise. Dragonfly, nox and quad fit as well.

Those little details. It's not a big deal, but the red light that projects onto the landing pad to show where the door opens is pretty cool. The downside: Two MFD's? It would be nice to have a minimum of three. I soloed VS with the A1. I was surprised.

[@theshawnmccown]

They need to have targeting pods or tech on the ship that acts like targeting pods on SC ships. Just like the real world A10c targeting pod. Looking at a target with radar and pick a target or surface to target is a must for accurate and enjoyable bombing. I'm sure SC will add those kinds of features in the future but until they do bombers just look awkward to use as intended.
