I've owned a Freelancer, Freelancer MAX, a C1 and now a Zeus. Don't care what the stats say, the Zeus handles better than the 'Lancers, but not quite as good as the C1. The Zeus CL is horrible to load, so i went ES. I like the compactness of the Zeus too. They all have there strengths and weaknesses etc but nobody can tell you what should or shouldn't be your daily driver.

I think that "daily driver" might need some definition polish. Especially considering the direction CIG is going with Star Citizen. "Daily" is really going to be solely dependent on what you feel like doing that day. I think the definition should be more along the line of "what do you grab when you really aren't sure what you want to do and just want to futz around."

yeah like for me my daily is the vanguard cause I only do combat

I am absolutely loving my ES for daily use.

Daily driver’s most important feature is not being jack of all trades, but rather the time it takes between entering a ship and actually flying, how far it can fly and how many people you can bring with

Most people looking at the Zeus CL as a needed cargo Tool will need to find their utility priority and choose the ship that best fits their play. Now there are others. I have LTI Starlifters, so I'm not looking for a cargo ship at all. I desire an easy in/out daily with lots of fuel for bunker busting solo or with a friend or two, decent handling( Fun/Easy to use). I love my Zeus ES for exactly this. More agile that the CL in every way including forward thrust, and has room for a Cyclone and a few 2scu boxes and more. Perfect for my needs. Nope not the best ship on paper or any cargo, but with sticks, and tobii being able to see under my feet is a big deal. Same reason I've been a diehard fan of the Cutlass Black for so long. The Zeus CS has replaced my Cutlass Black. (I still own one, but don't use it). So I say use the melt system and try them all, and find your favorite.

As a mercenary enjoyer, the Zeus MR seems to be the only small to medium size ship with a real armory ! It is the clear winner from the 3 variants for me.

MR is Very low firepower but EMP interdiction will be nice

@bruwarden3438 2 күн бұрын

I find the Zeus lacks power generation (there is a placement for batteries for temporary power but its not here yet) when compared to other ships. On top of that , the ES version requires +4 Power (+1 for radar, and +3 for shields) over the MR when focusing on shields. It doesn't sound like much, but when you are already lacking compared to other ship distribution, its noticeable.

If if everyone chose the best of the best, they would prolly not use anything else, I was never a Zeus guy but I find myself going back to it over others 😊

@DragonAlex1 2 күн бұрын

It comes pre-nerfed with less DPS than the other ships in it's size. And the ES is even more nerfed compared to the CL because we lost 3/4 of our Cargo-Space just for 0.3 more fuel.... that's not a L-Tank. A L tank should be double or tripple of the Ammount and not just 1.5 instead of 1.2

@kronnickusrex7832 2 күн бұрын

It's great for up to 4scu size boxes and smaller but anything bigger you're reducing the capacity drastically on the CL version. I think it handles fine, probably works fine for my intended partnering with a vulture or mole for operations. My rambler will be my daily point a to b ship.

@matthewbrady5274 2 күн бұрын

Starlancer Max will be the king of daily drivers, excellent cargo (grid dimensions are also fairly good), mutli crew capable, though not required, good living quarters, rover bay, probably even be able to do hrts and vhrts.

I'm excited to fly Starlancer too. I just hope its scope doesn't change like Galaxy by the time it is released.

@vonrosphe3098 2 күн бұрын

Hrts and vhrts? If you play with friends. But solo? The Starlancer has one 1s3 shield, is big and only 4s4 guns for the pilot. If you play Solo the Taurus is the better option.

@andrewboyer7544 2 күн бұрын

It's too big to be a daily driver. It's a multicrew ship, full stop. It's as long as a starfarer and half as heavy.

Well I will be driving it daily, that's for certain, and I'll be sure to do many vhrts in it, perhaps solo 😂

@NokiaLuke Күн бұрын

In my opinion, C1 is better daily. Daily, not a Cargo. Bcs Zeus has better cargo. C1 has wider ramp, which will not fit Ursa, but will fit Thumbril buggies with ease. They will fit in Zeus, but You need to be extra careful with it.

@Macskinny76 2 күн бұрын

No one said the ship was for everyone, and it was already known that it couldn't fit the Ursa. And the C1 is smaller and more maneuverable then the Zeus, CIG are making ships with and for purpose, so of course the newer ships are going to have a hit or miss.

I have a Zeus ES. It's a good looking ship, not gorgeous and a nice small ship to have in the fleet. I would rate it as "ok". The guns are the worst part.

Not mentioned, quantum fuel efficiency. If they rebalanced it to drain in accordance with size of ship this would be a better daily driver for a more subtle footprint than a connie. Otherwise they are just as expensive to drive as a connie.

Cutlass is still the best daily. Zeus kind of cool, new and shiny, but overall, cutlass is better. I wish they update it a bit

I'd go for the C1 over the Zeus any day of the week, even considering the former has more of everything but speed and hull points. The Zeus just gives me claustrophobia. It looks great, though.

@LordCritish 2 күн бұрын

The Cutlass Black ... don't get me wrong I love the ship but I have locked myself out of the ship at many occasions due to it's side doors and ramp becoming inaccessible when on slightly uneven terrain and one is not able to jump up high enough. Constellation Taurus is great as a combat/cargo combination but the Connie's are in serious need of modernization as they even lack any sort of storage compartment.

@Dytoractor 2 күн бұрын

I wonder if CIG will enlarge the cargo door? The design looks like it was made with a bigger door but later wanted to keep people from putting the nersa in. The cl was made to hold cargo and the tiny door won’t allow it. It’s 128 but it’s too hard to make that happen. Now people are upset. Lately people are royally upset with CIG. Not good!

@QuotidianStupidity 2 күн бұрын

Why would they change the door, it’s already clear why they made it that size

Undergunned for the price and cant load Ursa... Thats a no go G.I. JOE... Depending on what some has access to... Black Taurus Those two ships are tough to beat on price to function. If you have access to more, then it doesnt become a blip on the radar.

Thanks for the video. 👍 I am not sure about the definition of "daily driver". For me it is one, because I do daily one or two hauling missions to planetary destinations. But in that regard the Prospector or Vulture are also daily drivers for me. If you on the other hand define "daily driver" as "jack of all trades", that you can use for different tasks, then the Zeus CL is not the right choice. I bought this ships as a freighter for smaller loads and I choose it over competition like the Freelancer MAX purely because of it's look. 😉

@innominatecitizen 2 күн бұрын

Valid points. Daily driver and multirole shops could be two different things. They could be the same shop for some pilots too. Without trying to offer a valid or standard definition, a daily driver to me is a ship I’m more likely to pick up for a flight when not on a specific mission. I’d love to hear others’s definition of the daily though.

@Rangar1959 2 күн бұрын

@@innominatecitizen Well, I don't have a ship for unspecified tasks. I use different ships for every activity. Defending bunkers: Pisces Rescue. Attacking bunkers: MSR with a medic rover inside. Mining and Salvaging with Prospector and Vulture. Hauling small loads: Zeus CL, large loads C2. Bounty missions I do not very often, but I have a F8C for that (which I also bought for the look 🙄). If I want to travel solo, I use a light fighter for short distances and an Ares Ion for long distances. (At least I did that before the newest patch, because the Ares Ion could be equipped with the XL1, the fastest quantum drive in the game (at least before they levelled all quantum drives to garbage in the last patch)).

@Kakeyoro 2 күн бұрын

Zeus has a MUCH more comprehensive interior. More internal storage, more entry/exits, actual gravity roof entrance, much better visibility, solid quantum range, abundance of missiles, true VTOL and solid shields. It'll never be the best at everything but you gotta take the time to note the things it does or has better than it's competitors. Now if were comparing ES and or CL to the competiton then we'd talk about things like cargo capacity, more shields, LARGE size 3 radar... etc. Also, even though just 2 guns, size 4 cannons are a great medium in attacking both small and heavy targets (anti-matter). It's honestly a jack of all trades and thats what you want in a daily, tbh. Any competitor that has an advantage in this or that metric is going ro sacrifice in something else.

I think the Zeus DNA should have neen an AEGIS ship not RSI ITs a complete mess. Double the components - 50% more crew - same space for cargo - compared to the C1 which is the same size. It should have been 50% bigger. But then you would upset RSI constelation owners. So it was really a stuff job. Because the concept was too generous.
