Everytime a new ship comes out i just think about how much of an update the Starfarer and Connie need

[@SpaceDad42]

These ships will too in a few years. Gold standard is a moving target.

[@TRONRINZLER]

Freelancer says hello... I feel like the Starlancer is what the Freelancer should of been all along. :D

[@helloitsjay38]

I know right? I Wana melt my Andromeda for the tac but I'm worried the redo will be better than the tac.

[@prjndigo]

I think the constellation is doing ok, its literally a dated design to fit a very specific fleet purpose - it can go where most medium fighters can to be honest I think the starfarer needs a re-think from the ground up and we need a counterpart called "Ensign" or something that has a central body and two fuel booms to the sides.

MISC isn't my style, but it is a fairly nice looking ship. Thankfully, aside from the Hull series, the bigger MISC ships stop looking so much like a chrome... you know.

[@valeriansamborski5844]

Criticism where criticism is due, the Hull C just does! Sorry, but it is true, admittedly only when it has the cargo spindles retracted. The freelancer standard has the vibes, but isn't quite there yet, thankfully, and the Starfarer looks like a humongous chrome bulldog more than anything.

I fell in love with the odyssey when I first saw it. This ship did me the same love the design language. Feels like a retro spaceship I would see in Star Trek

TAC will probably release for Invictus (ILW) next year.

[@Cam_Wight]

I’m guessing maybe along side the Perseus

[@masonmax1000]

that is what id assume as well based of the past.

[@TheFireBean]

that’s my guess as well

It seems highly unlikely that the Perseus will be ready by ILW 2025 unless they have already been working on it for some time. It would be ana amazing surprise though if it were.

[@lorgan9595]

@@MatthewGleed Agreed. Next IAE would be my guess. Perseus is a fairly big ship.

I got mine. It's exactly the ship I wanted. The Max, I mean❤. My only complain is that pool table where they could put a small medbay

[@The5thHorseman555]

So not exactly what you wanted? ;)

[@CastleBravo023]

Plenty of room to shove an Ursa Med in the back, looks like. :-)

[@GeneCavalcante]

@@CastleBravo023 yeah. Gonna do that. But I still don't get those ships for long haul or exploration without medbay...like the Corsair, for example

[@charlescassels3826]

Got a Heartseeker to MAX upgrade for cheap. I was originally thinking I’d replace my Andromeda with the MAX, but instead I’ll use the Andromeda for bounty hunting and the MAX for hauling. The Taurus did both simultaneously, but I really haven’t needed that much space for bounty hunting recently.

[@TheCursedUltima]

The Starlancer MAX converted one of my friends who used to be all Aegis, suddenly into MISC - something simply drew him to it, according to him.

[@Xenopotamus]

I have not pulled the trigger yet... but strongly considering picking one up. What I really want is the BLD version.

[@VelkaruTheHunter]

They are a great fit to the game, and those Vertical Drop Platforms are something I would hope to see in more ships.

[@L3-PP]

I am so glad they arent selling the BLD until base building is ready

[@creedofrok396]

I was genuinely surprised when they showed off the greybox of base building along with Starlancer BLD. I honestly can't wait for the BLD in game!

[@Zeoran]

As usual, CIG is ignoring the variant I actually bought. First was the Spirit E-1, then the Zeus Mk II MR, now the Starlancer TAC. I see a pattern forming....

[@Therealben80]

To be fair at lest it has a release date, the BLD we don’t really know . . .

[@robertreyes6959]

To my knowledge they haven't ever release the tactical/military variant of any ship prior to the more generic cargo/explorer variants for any ships.

[@nofa987]

They can't ignore the MR as it is the most purchased variant (I think) and the E1 will probably release with the actual gameplay for it - probably with the Starliner

[@turfish]

The MAX is being focused on I imagine because its being released alongside an update that is heavily cargo focused. The TAC will likely come soon after.

[@KaizikuM]

They're not ignoring it.... e1 loop isn't in, MR systems aren't ready and loop isn't in, tac is soon

[@Vulture0899]

I love these already

[@Zethez]

Thanks for doing the ship buyers guide.

[@kalskirata9075]

So because I listen to you while I work, me and several of my crew have been hesitant about The Star lancer, because most of us have constellations or even bigger for moving cargo, but listening to this video has kind of helped push me towards upgrading my constellation up to the Max starlancer, rather than trying to buy that outright. And then possibly move it up to the tactical version. Once that release is due to the fact that I still have plenty of other hauling capable vessels

[@DicehunterSC]

Starlancer Max reminds me of Firefly :D

[@DarkAssassin274]

"Misc Starlancer, it fills the gameplay gap we just created."

[@stephenjones6076]

Not a fan of the Freelancer BUT love to look of the Starlancer. Max OR Tac???? The Max with an ursa medic is about the same price as a TAC, you forfeit some cargo but you get a fury hanger ( I'm sure you can fit lots of cargo in there if you don't have a fury!!!), bigger shields and more bigger guns

[@dannic8987]

If you don't already have a hauler, max. TAC in my eyes is the better pick, I'd much rather fly a redeemer or andro for gunship use (firing angles) BUT the med beds, extra guns and hanger (that could be used as Eva cargo storage too like you said) is nice for that long range group content.

[@trainspartan4464]

Great overview of the Starlancer variants. I’m excited to fly one around the verse!

[@vallah_sc]

The TAC is starting to feel like a solid idea for an everyday multicrew ship

[@nenge_mboko]

The BLD will be a great ship to add to a fleet. Looking forward to getting more details on base building soon.

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Soon 🤣🤣🤣 good luck with that.

[@TheMNWolf]

I'm very surprised that the max doesn't have a tractor beam. I wonder if this indicates that they're moving away from the idea of ship mounted tractor beams in favor of the atls.

[@bimmerbomber2002]

I don't think they're moving away from tractor beams on ships, I think it's a flavor thing. Some ships get them, some don't. Specifically with the MAX, I think with the drop-down belly bay holding most of the cargo, the thought is that the cargo is easy to get to, you can get at cargo from a variety of angles outside the ship, so MISC didn't outfit the ship with a tractor beam.

[@TrackMediaOnly]

I'm just wondering about the in place anti-boarding guns they said were going to be a thing way back when. I've not seen anything that actually has anything in place for the future(haven't seen the inside of an Idris in a long while).

[@snowman6033]

the BLD might be interesting to me. I hadn't really considered base building as something I'd care much about, but citcon really made it seem like a key component of the game

[@RedWolvesGaming]

I upgraded to the Starlancer TAC from the Corsair, I am super exited but I will miss the good old Corsair :,( always there when the day needed saving. Fairwell

[@igamewhenimbored7696]

Could never get rid of the Corsair but they NEED to reverse that braindead decision on the copilot buttonclicker

[@CellDE]

well it might be a bad choice, cause corsair has better sensors, radar, computer slots and fuel capacity

[@moritzgaertner6810]

These ships are just cool. They fill a spot, I didn’t knew we need to fill. They also show us, that so,e old ships need some love, but also show us, that they listen to us. Giving us a good ship size for small groups and the ships just looks pretty inside and out.

[@maltelandgren7428]

Not having a tractor beam seams like a big hit to its value as a hauler :/

[@mustrumridcully3853]

The images show an ATLS in both the hold and offloading cargo.

[@Astelch]

Luckily atls is only 76k and you can easily fit many of them on the rear if you are hauling with others.

[@DaGhostToast]

It's kinda novel that they kept in theme with the Freelancers pointlessly split cargo space by splitting it here as well

[@AthosRico22]

The TAC reminds me a little of the Serenity from Firefly. People have even mentioned a slight similarity in voice to Mal in the last line of the promo vid for the Starlancer line. What people really want to know is…what other ships can you cram into the Furry bay without blowing them up. Thanks for the continued updates as always! Be nice to have a Corsair, reminds me of some star wars ship designs.

[@cv368]

I wont replace my Freelancer, but i instantly fell in love with the Starlancers. The only thing missing from the Max is one of those medbeds the TAC has in my opinion. The BLD, i dont want that much. i am starting to doubt the advantage of dedicated builder ships of that size given that it looks like working out of a hauler will get me the same outcome while letting me bring more supplies at once

[@wellnesstribedpt]

I enjoy listening to everyones opinion on new ships. It really gives different perspectives and helps me to make better decisions on whether to buy or not!

[@starshifter1]

I got myself the max variant. with it looking a lot like the Serenity from Firefly I can't wait to fly cargo in it. love that show.

[@dustinsmith245]

I love the starlancer max. I wasnt to see as many ships in this sort of size range in the game. I'm sure I'm not the only one that immediately thought of firefly with this ship and the idea of that small crew having a ship like this and doing odd jobs is a major fantasy they want to play out in this game. Right now its pretty much the mercury starrunner and this and maybe to an extent a connie but that really needs update to fit the more current vision of ships in the game because I love the connie.

[@ZolaBCO]

Can't wait to explore those ships!

[@CoolPapaKMagic]

As an Anvil lifer I will probably not get this ship. But it is neat.

[@NormFC]

I still feel like the ironclad is the better buy over the TAC and BLD. I mean its speculative, but they have ground vehicles for small and medium structures. If they add a ground vehicle for large structures.

[@Pandamaniac]

Sincerely doubt they’ll release a large construction verging, otherwise they’d further undermine the BLD and the vehicle would need to be massive to fit the drones, making it hard to transport anyway.

[@tiagooitaven4350]

I love MISC! I got the MAX love the style... will be great to fly one soon!

[@StormFahrt]

I do not see them adding the BLD to the game in the next 12 months at least. Since the sneak peaks at the next to release in 12 month only shows 1 Starlancer variant that will be the TAC and then once its out we could possibly see them drop the BLD concept. Would rather they get some of the older ships out that are in concept before the BLD though. At least the ones that do not have one specific gameplay loop in mind.

[@elementsk8r1717]

Hopefully 1.0 comes close to base building, that would be devastating getting so far along with your build to ultimately get it wiped with the inevitable hard wipe

[@zackn8745]

Nah, they need us to test it thoroughly, so we'll absolutely be prompted to build our empire so they can learn from it before smashing it.

[@elementsk8r1717]

@@zackn8745 I’m pretty sure that’s the route their going, would kinda suck to have a dope base setup then get it wiped but I wouldn’t think it would be fair to keep them either

[@XenaThreat]

I got the MAX and TAC as gifts for volunteering at CitizenCon. Now that I have them, I hope the TAC will take over from the current role of my Corsair, which is to carry a Nursa around for bunkers.....the TAC won't even need the Nursa since it has medbeds. That means I can melt the entrepreneur pack and buy it back with it's original ships since I ccu'd the Vulcan to the Corsair and the Ursa to the medical variant.

[@tylerthomas5304]

I just ccu'd my corsair for the tac. That med bed is awesome. Can't wait for the 600i rework with the med bed as I jumped back to that as my daily from the corsair.

[@deandriedge4236]

nice video, i like the look of the Starlancer, the lack of view out the window takes some getting use to though.

[@Eric_M_R]

The amount of different ships in the game is almost overwhelming.. but also adds to the realism of it :P

[@prjndigo]

there's only 4 types... cap, cargo, explore and fighter - the variety within that comes to a question of dishomogeny being important... imagine if your starlancer lands a little more front-heavy than a freelancer and so-forth

I love these ships, this is what I was hoping for with the Freelancer line gold standard and still waiting ,I wish they would have sold the BLD at the same time for war bond or as an upgrade ship even if it wasn't ready yet. I hope it is available for purchase in November. Also as others have commented on ships of this size should have a medical bed of some size on every one of them and more on the combat versions like the TAC. These ships are going into deep space and going to the doctor is kind of a joke so far out in space so why isn't it on board, at least a stabilizing bed that can repair basic wounds or a gun shot. Great topics and detailed information to clarify the ships assets and components thank you and see everyone in the verse.

[@orangeclockwork6904]

[@MurderousNoise]

A lot of ppl that living in fantasies are excusing CIG for nerfing Corsair “it is multiplayer game, find a friend” they say. They dont realize simple reality, that everyone want to fly their own ships, and not be a damn button pusher in someone’s ship while owner having all fun. There are will be situations when you need a group of players, but usually people want piloting their own ship. Multiplayer when all multirole ships are full of human crew are impossible, because more than 50% of players will need to be serving on those ships, and how funding of a game shows, ppl like to buy and fly their own ships.

@@MurderousNoisebest way to force people to multicrew is by making larger ships far more expensive when they are finished.

Is CIG taking a new approach for ship manufacturers now? They’re going to be working on RSI, MISC, Drake, etc large ships over the next 12 to 18 months. Maybe they’re hoping to build out several manufacturer asset libraries at once to help with larger ships. E.g. Odyssey, Kraken, etc later.
