As cool as this ship is, I am not giving up on my 7 big specialized multicrewed ships that make up my resource extraction, refining and engineering services ships. I am still waiting for CIG to release a flying refinery ship to complete my supply chain.

[@ph11p3540]

@@bullymaguire8868 Actually, the majority of the rear processing deck interiors are intentionally left empty of sorting and other post material processing machinery and conveyors. Expect various process machinery to help specialize your Reclaimer be it a parts puller or a post salvage base material sorter. Not sure if this will also include a refinery that would melt high purity scrap back into usable metal stock.

[@jkleylein]

Once ships stop spawning out of thin air, and can only be deployed from where they were last used, it will be necessary to move ships and vehicles between systems, and I can see something like this providing the service. If you have mostly smaller craft in your personal fleet, it could even be your base ship where you keep a group of ships you are using so they can go to distant places together without complication.

[@thedoctrinetv]

There's one image where the bottom turret is perfectly clear. It's the image where the tank is rolling ON from the back of the Liberator (image 2/4 in the slideshow near the bottom of the Liberator Commlink). In the image where you circled in yellow, you were correct that that was the bottom turret.

[@hrothbertco4987]

It is also visible in the holoviewer.

[@CaliJoshua]

My concern is that without additional beds to logout from, the range is farther for the ships and vehicles than the for the crew to pilot them. I would also think even the lowest tier medical would be appropriate being that you will likely go places where self reliance is key. Sure for a large ORGs bringing many ships is realistic, but for smaller groups this may be the only larger ship they can crew. It falls short of the full range platform the marketing suggests.

[@benjwgarner]

The marketing is BS. It's only "long-range" compared to the ships it will carry. This is a point-to-point ship ferry that can also be used for landing missions, but no endeavours that take longer than a single session to complete (since you can't log out without a bed). Like all ships, it has been intentionally gimped to force tradeoffs and poor compromises because "one ship shouldn't do everything" (and to 'encourage' backers to spend more for a fleet of ships that will be needed to try out the different kinds of gameplay that they intend to offer).

[@Kestrelkil]

Overall agree with you. This will be an incredibly important ship for anyone who needs to relocate their ships or organization. This is on my org's buying list but in-game.

[@kristoffernordlund8392]

The last part of the review is probably the most relevant thing when buying ships from CIG. I wish I thought like that before I got a whole fleet my self. Sure im in a large org and the ships will probably get used. But probably not so much by me. And the people that i'm hanging around with in SC basically has their own fleets as well. And we all have like 1 or 2 single player ships, otherwise its large multi crew ships. Good review. I think the liberator had done better if it was abit bigger so you could decide if you should take 1 medium and one small ship, or 3 small ships.

[@SubliminaLstv]

Thanks! Well that's what medium carrier will be for 😁

[@johnjeffers4362]

I was considering it until you voiced the concern about the number of players to crew it. It would be silly to use this as a home-base if you were running solo, because it would sit undefended while you were mining or on a mission with one of the smaller ships. I think physical inventory is going to inflate the pirate gameplay a ton, and an undefended ship will be destroyed quickly

[@ForgeofAule]

This seems like it will excel as a space ferry, starting at one end of the system and picking up people wanted to travel to Pyro's jumppoint along the way

[@rahfeeki8540]

just to be clear, there are guardrails on each side of the pad at the bottom front. you wont be able to squeeze anything all the way to the sides unless the wings are high enough/fold up high enough to fit

[@mbwheeler70]

Have you considered the Liberator as a personal ship staging area? If you have multiple accounts one can be the Liberator pilot that logs in and drops off ships. For a 3 toon multi-boxer this is an awesome platform! Liberator pilot, Scout pilot and ROC Pilot with spare ROCs and a Prospector to switch to for large rocks or mining in space. 400scu for ore means you can hang out on the field longer to bring back more and minimize transit to refinery or market.

[@SubliminaLstv]

Interesting!

[@mandolinean3057]

I always learn something new watching your videos. Thanks, @SubliminaL!

[@jbirdmax]

The most expensive Jpg concept idea for a ship ever conceived. Edit: it has the feeling of a tool that you need but you know you will rarely use it because of it’s requirements and it’s niche.

[@SubliminaLstv]

EXACTLY!!!

[@Wo0zi-Mu]

As a solo player, this would also serve as a good mobile base, as you can fit a prospector for mining or a Vulture for salvaging, a light and medium fighters for dogfighting, and some ground vehicles. Not to mention that you can use it as a cargo hauler as well and the shields should allow you to have enough time to jump in your fighter and fight off a light/medium fighter that is attacking you. Basically for a solo player that has invested about 1000 dollars in the game, this is the perfect base as all your ships and vehicles should fit in and allow you to participate in the majority of game loops without wasting time going to space stations. I love it, and just upgraded to one :)

[@patrickbutler9822]

I have not read all the comments, but one item that stands out to me is the statement of spawning. This leads me to believe the ship will "store" onto the ship say as a player logs out and can re-spawn when the player logs in.

[@Civilunit]

I am certainly impressed that it has more under the hood than originally thought as I too thought this was an uninteresting ship but it certainly has some possibility's once we get more systems in with the verse. While I don't think this will be worth real money purchase as well as its clear this is a utility, mass produced relatively easy to acquire pocket carrier. it's just enough to support a squad of light to medium fighters pretty easily and its simple design is appreciated. I think the two things that I hate about this ship is the open to space design. it has more than enough space for a fly through internal bay that would be required if you are making hand repairs to your ship. I think its duel focus on land vehicles and ships is a little silly, we have MORE than enough ships that can carry vehicles now, I really don't see this being a great drop ship, your not going to want to land this thing at the front lines. Second I think the two person crew is a bit...sparse for the size. Realistically to function its going to need more than that. though it is nice to have a low bare minimum crew cost I know many will like the idea of having a few of these for their org just manned by one person to offer support for their ships while pilots or ground forces get the job done. Still it's more impressive then I thought even if it is over priced. Buy gold, not space ships kids.

[@solarmonk]

Hearing about the cargo space makes me immediately realize it's industrial potential. Imagine two vultures on the pads, utilizing the 400 scu for scraped material.

[@ionkon]

One thing is for sure. This ship, when empty, it should fly like an arrow.

[@tommk64]

Hi Sub, I think CIG made a mistake calling it a Light Carrier. It's more like an Escort Carrier. The role of an Escort Carrier is to provide support for various operations including landings. The primary role of a Light Carrier is to provide escort duty for the main battle carriers with air cover.

[@SubliminaLstv]

I wouldn't call it a mistake. CIG has a naming scheme. (Payload Role) so the liberator is a Light Carrier. The kraken is a heavy carrier. The gladiator is a light bomber. Retaliator Heavy Bomber. Arrow light fighter. Sabre Medium Fighter Warden Heavy Fighter. etc. They aren't trying to mimic real life rather trying to express exactly what the ship is capable of doing in relation to other ships in its class. Light does the least in it's class, heavy does the most and medium is in between.

[@Grimmwoldds]

@@SubliminaLstv I would. It isn't a carrier in the navy sense. It's a "carrier" in the sense that a car carrier "carries cars". Transport. Ferry. They even reference the LCAC for design decisions(so it IS a transport/ferry).

[@CaliJoshua]

@@Grimmwoldds I completely agree, but with a few beds and basic medical it really could be so much more of a ship.

[@Grimmwoldds]

@@CaliJoshua Something like a special operations small strike force transport. A few squads, some tanks/apcs, and a few very small scout aircraft(no real capability to strike, just too small). For that role, you'd just need to fuel the aircraft(they're scouts and could easily just work off the back of a flight 1 Arleigh-Burke equivalent). You'd def need basic medical facilities, because losing trained soldiers becomes expensive very quickly.

[@CaliJoshua]

@@Grimmwoldds Yes this basic capability would make this ship invaluable and really open up the Verse for a wide range of uses, and give more meaning to vehicles and smaller ships. It doesn't have to excel at it or "Punch Above it's Weight," but these basic capabilities would transform it to make the game really enjoyable for a few friends. I stowed a CCU into my Buyback incase they revamp it, but otherwise I just can't justify it.

[@cv368]

Even as a soloplayer and not really liking the optics the liberator made it onto my "to grind for" list. The only 2 points that have me concerned are the lack of passenger beds for really long term ferrying and that long range ships usually get an industrial quantum drive as stock punishment

[@ericwadding9811]

Sounds like a fun and useful ship, but I agree with you...too hard to fully utilize it for it to be worth spending real money on for me.

[@clint7247]

Imagine how much more versatile the Liberator could be if cargo netting could be employed in the garage area. I think this ship is going to be awesome for small to mid sized orgs.

[@kevinalmeida7159]

i saw the first look at this ship and once i saw the first image i was like study study study scale. once i had a few minutes to think scale i stopped the video to see if i can buy it RIGHT NOW!!!! if it flys like a reclaimer then it will be used on rare occasion if it flys like C2 this might get as much use as my daily driver pretty ships are nice to look at but in space it can be the shape of a ball or brick and preform the same as any ship with dynamics. this ship would be borderline perfect shape of reality. i think if you have a few ships and move often this best in game being 1/3 the cost of kraken and that ship will perform like a reclaimer. i think if you can only have 1 large ship or budget above 300 this should be your first consideration a size 5 turret right behind the pilots seat??? lol can probably use this ship in ERT missions hahaha ranger is still my most desired ship i want in game ASAP but the liberator and corsair cant get here soon enough

[@blacksheepboyz]

2 fuel tanks only for show. They better rethink it having dedicated refueling, its silly if it does not have that.

[@BizzMRK]

it was originally supposed to be able to refuel ships with the fuel tank, but after a few itterations it lost the functionality. A bit odd to have a carrier that is not capable to actively refuel its fleet tbh.

[@Booozy3050]

Best and most comprehensive take on this ship sofar. The pictures blown up showed me a scale I couldn't even see before. I didn't see the catwalks...dats a big ship. I'm already locked into the lib, just have to complete the ccu from the C2. I will wait just a little longer until 3.15 fully hits ,since loaners don't work in the ptu. There are probably more options with a ship of this size than other huge cap/sub caps with such a small crew complement. Even a large crew of people with imagination and ..nova tanks/balis you could make your own fun. The big restriction I see is the clearance larger size ships will have with those huge thrusters. Either way just as a mobile prospector base / mobile camp, I'd be happy.

[@SubliminaLstv]

Thanks!

[@andyandreson3989]

At first presentation of this ship my thoughts on it was……Meh. Then as I thought about it, it is a remarkably useful ship. Orgs will need it. A solo player can be a ship taxi in larger systems (when and if we see them). I won’t be buying it real money or in game as a solo player, but groups definitely can utilize this.

[@moonasha]

it's like the perfect little base of operations for small mercenary operations. Like imagine if you there was a convoy hauling stuff, one of these loaded with fighters would be a great defense against pirates. Or miners might want to hire one. Cool to think about

[@flockofwildcactus]

I suspect like med-bay tiers, if this ship ever gets modularity (and frankly I hope all ships do to some degree allow customizations) they won't allow anything as advanced as the Crucible since it is another Anvil ship, that would render it less specialized. Though I know with the Crucible, it's got the ability to move and attach/detach different modules and also work on larger ships so there is added functionality to it anyway. I'd want some capability for minor repairs on ships like the Liberator though, 100% :) maybe it specializes in fully repairing land vehicles to set it apart? Would be cool to see that on an M2 as well in the future.

[@rahlap2449]

To me its the ship with the biggest value and the price is justified. You can do it all with that ship: piracy, salvaging, mining, ground attacks, travel alongside cargo ships to protect them with small fighters, transport ships from a to b for whatever reason (racing, combat, mining, etc), transport cargo yourself while moving your ships from a to b, traveling alongside a dedicated explorer to get more ground vehicles on the surface, disable and steal ships with its tractor beam... This is the ship that can do it all expect being a combat ship on its own.

[@andrer9379]

The first concept picture you showed had one savage Hornet like ship on it... I counted 4 S3 ballistic gatling's, the two nose turrets, and the ball turret up top...damn, I want one.

My dream ship would be a 300m Anvil capital ship that look like a battleship with 2 or 3 enormous turret having 3 canons each on the middle top of the ship to destroy big target and plenty of smaller turret to take care of smaller fighters, with the possibility to carry small fighters, having a medbay, a prison, a bit of strorage space to fit my carreer as a bounty hunter with my friends

[@endsinvention1390]

[@benthomson1132]

I'm just gonna copy/paste my response to another Liberator video: This ship is brilliant and I'll tell you why in four words. Mobile Forward Operating Base. *Ground assault?* Check. You're bringing 2 vehicles, three fighters, and 16 troopers. *Secure and hold?* Check. Keep extra weapons and supplies in the armory and ample storage and provide a rallying point for reinforcements. *Ground-based mining operation with a group of ROCs?* Check. With 400 SCU they can keep running back and forth ALL DAY filling up the generous cargo hold. *Stripping a large crashed ship?* Check. Park it right next to the wreck and send a group of people in there to strip every component and scrap of valuable metal, plus you got plenty of space to bring a security detail parked right on top. I'm not 100% sold on the price, but I think this ship will be a staple of orgs who have any interest in surface operations. The only thing it's missing is maybe a Tier 3 hospital bed to stabilize patients and heal minor injuries, which would have been absolutely perfect and made it well worth the cost. As always, thanks for the great work!

[@g8trdone]

I think it's ships like this that will open up the game for most players. There's nothing wrong with staying mostly in one system and running that, but a ship like this will let us stretch our legs with a few options ready to go for our style, anywhere we go.

[@BizzMRK]

and it even comes with 3 bathrooms because one or two appariently werent enough. Jokes aside this is probably a very good option for a mobile base of operation for a lot of different professions. Certainly more versatile (even though arguably a lot uglier) than the C2/M2 Hercules when it comes to that since you sacrifice a little (multipurpose) cargospace in excange for seperate dedicated cargo and vehicle bays as well as the landing pads.

[@arvintis2293]

It’s certainly going to be amusing when all these ships that require a decent sized crew finally are introduced with full features. There’s going to be thousands of half manned ships.

[@BizzMRK]

thats why there will be ai crew and server blades for automation of turrets. That said, I doubt we will ever see a fully crewed Idris or Javelin, considering they require (more than) an entire Server to be fully crewed.

[@benjwgarner]

The whole philosophy for multi-crew ships is poorly thought out. By the time that this game is released, many backers that originally pledged in high school will be too busy with work, families, and other real life to be able to schedule regular play sessions with enough people at the same time to man the ships. I don't see hired NPCs as ever coming close enough for some roles.

[@BizzMRK]

@@benjwgarner on top of that I doubt that you will find people to do some odd jobs like engineering and sitting at a panel all day rerouting energy etc.

[@spaced-cadet]

I'm wondering if 'effective' carrying capacity will have meaning vs. maximum carrying capacity. In essence, what you can fit on the craft effectively is determined by how accessible hand-based rearming, repairing, and refueling will be. If you can have 15 arrows on the pad, will they all be serviceable? How easily will you be able to get in and scramble? Will it be a huge pain in the ass? All of this will need to be worked out in practice, I guess, whenever the ship comes out. The real value is in the low crew requirements for such a large vessel with such a huge amount of carrying capacity, freeing up other crew members for scrambling or other tasks. Just don't expect it to do any hot drops.

[@everettumphrey]

I'm still kicking around a reshuffle of my fleet. I'm at the point where I already felt like I've spent to much so I'm not buying anything else so to grab a liberator I would have to melt a few. I was planning on doing a full melt and trying to grab a Kraken but this seems like a much better choice if I'm honest. I'm just not sure about the shuffle. The only thing I know I want to do this Nov is melt my Cutty B. Why? Because I honestly think the ship is not that great and hate the direction they took with its rework back in the day. I'll wait for a aegis or crusader analog or just not have a ship like it. This ship seems interesting. Honestly for what it does an what it has I can see it being a great home away from home ship.

[@dmdr3168]

I would like to see the source you got that info from.

[@BizzMRK]

as long as one leg is secured to a magnetic pad there should not be much movement at all. Besides, even if they are not magnetically locked they still won't move unless there are significant g-forces involved, for which the liberator is too sluggish to pull off. Unless you plan to do a barrelroll in atmosphere this is not going to be an issue.

[@SubliminaLstv]

That is not true. You should have continued watching the video. They literally answers this question in the Q&A and I read it during the video... It's not about magnets it's about the gravity generator. Magnets only play into how cargo is secured.

[@VirionXtreme]

@@SubliminaLstv same point and even worst, the gravity generator it's gonna capture only some amount of mass on those platform. And 3 ship against 10 smaller ships doesn't have the same mass. It will never happen to see for example an Idris with 20 small fighter inside instead of 3 large. Otherwise why release a loading ships capacity on those ships ? Idris, Javelin, Carrack, Kraken, 890j (big hangar), Liberator... CIG should just say " how many ship you can fit depending of the size you choose" but they didn't because it's not like that and will never be. The states ONLY the num. of ship you can carry and the size... this means it's likely that CIG will decide that the landing pad size has mass/type limits as well as dimension limits.

i see value in ships different than CIG when i saw the steel was over 200 and the other greedy cash grabs i would assume the liberator would have been priced over 3000 if you scale the validity to the steel... to me the steel has way more hinderance or useless compared to black so i would priced steel at 80 dollars... but the most no brainer ship you can buy is the endeavor if you dont own this ship its because your budget is aurora. i think if you can afford this ship but dont have it your under ratting this ship and you might not be so bright....

[@SubliminaLstv]

The steel is laughably priced. Completely tone deaf.

[@ybing]

shouldn't categorize as carrier, transporter yes

[@BizzMRK]

but it literaly is a light carrier by definition.

[@SubliminaLstv]

CIG has a naming scheme to ensure players understand a ships role in relation to other ships in that role. (Payload Role) so the liberator is a light carrier and the kraken is a heavy carrier. The arrow is a light fighter, the sabre a medium fighter, and the warden is a heavy fighter. It has nothing to do with real life, this is a videogame.

[@zoombeebat]

This ship really sounds like an org ship, not a personal one.

[@SubliminaLstv]

Agreed

[@BizzMRK]

well, you could actually offer shuttle service through the much larger pyro system for pilots with smaller crafts to make a profession out of it. The system is not only going to be much larger but there are a lot fewer refueling opertunities.

[@MarceloMeireles]

@@BizzMRK Pyro doesn't exist yet and ship insurance won't apply there it seems. Plus, how long would I had to wait until I enough customers to make the trip? Would the first ones be willing to wait for the last ones? I don't see that happening.

[@benjwgarner]

@@MarceloMeireles No ship insurance and no small ships: definitely the right choice to work on as the second system for a game where systems take years to create.

[@stephenjenkins7971]

@@MarceloMeireles Tbh, it will be rare that this ship would be in danger if it acts as a taxi. Just park in orbit and let the small ship go, and they won't have a way out without your ship and if they refuse to pay, you can inform others not to bother with them. I can see it working.

[@sadezax]

CIG what are you doing? why no medbay.

[@phimseto]

I've got a Heartseeker and a Talon Shrike (and a Scorpius on order). Do any of those fit on this?

All of them will.

[@BlazinDragon88]

Can this fit X2 prospectors and/or x1 prospector + x1 expanse? That is the question..🤔

[@BizzMRK]

They said in the QA (also part of the video in case you missed it) that the Prospector fits on the XS pads and from testing around with the 3d models it should also fit the Expanse, but remember that sizes and shapes of these ships (aside from the Prospector of course) can still change before they are released.

[@GeneralPadron]

I don't know why you people insist on calling this a carrier. It is a blast boat or landing craft. Not a carrier. In fact there in one almost exactly like this in the Star Wars universe.

[@dark_winter8238]

You are just defining a carrier differently. It definitely fits the literal definition.

[@benjwgarner]

Because CIG calls it a "carrier".

[@leevah]

Can you fit a Prowler on the Liberator?

[@bullymaguire8868]

Drops out of hyperspace with 10 arrows on it, immediately cops torpedoes from every Tali in the battle

[@Feedmann]

Are these jpg's NFT's?

[@SubliminaLstv]

No lol 🤣. Although some ships for example were bought at $250 and I expect to be worth $750 within a year. They do appreciate and it's possible to sell them ONCE. But calling it an NFT would be criminal.

[@kishkin8743]

If you have the good ccus it's not a 500 dollar ship

[@MultiFishslayer]

I would buy one but, I refuse to because it takes 4 years to release. Homie don't play dat !

[@Pharesm]

I don't think its very good overall. And its only *the first of its kind* CIG said. *Perfect to just wait for subsequent improved models*

The Prospector won't fit on the Liberator? Yes you can land it but you can't go anywhere with it?

[@SubliminaLstv]

Why can't you go anywhere with it?

[@TheParallellinial]

@@SubliminaLstv It fits 2 x XXS and 1 x XS. The Prospector is a size S. So the prospectors won't stay on the hangar deck if you initiate QT or go through JP. From the Q & A: Q: -"Can the Liberator transport one big ship on both its upper decks providing the latter can touch down with all of its landing gear?" A: -"Officially, this won’t be supported as large ships won’t be able to spawn there, but what players do after the initial spawn is up to them. So, while they can surely ‘Tetris’ larger ships onto the landing pads, it will likely not be supported as an official method of landing."

[@TheParallellinial]

Ohhh hold up! So Small is Small...? So Extra Extra Small is still Small? What am I missing here?

[@SubliminaLstv]

Your interpretation of the landing pads is wrong. The liberator has 2 XS landing pads and 1 XXS landing pad. Further more... What is the largest ship that can be parked in each of the garages, the upper landing pads, and the front landing pad? The garages and front landing pad can store ground vehicles up to and including the Tumbril Nova and Anvil Ballista, and what we refer to internally as ‘XXS’ ships, which includes the Argo MPUV and Origin 85x. The upper landing pads support ‘XS’ ships, which includes most single-seat combat ships (Aegis Sabre, Anvil Hornet and Arrow, etc.) and other single-player ships such as the MISC Prospector.

[@SubliminaLstv]

The XXS pads are pads that to my knowledge are only on ships. Watch the citcon vid on the liberator they explain where XXS pads have been used before. That is what is on the front. And the 2 on top are XS small pads. It's dumn I know. They need to revamp the whole naming scheme.
