The Biggest & Baddest - A deep dive into Star Citizen's Cap Ships

What started out as a small vid turned into a deep dive - I've done my best to assemble all of the credible info I could find from the archives and compile it into one vid with as much info on SC's behemoth capital class ships as I could!

---June 2022 Giveaway Rules-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the support the community has given me I'd like to give something back, so we're doing a monthly ship giveaway. This month (June 2022) will be an Anvil Legionnaire with LTI.
- The ship is a standalone item for the game Star Citizen. It does not include a game package and you will need one to play the game. The recipient will require a Star Citizen account to claim the gift which will be sent to the winner via email.
- To enter you simply need to comment on any video from May 2022 on the channel before the competition closes at Midnight (UTC) on 31st May. You can enter multiple times by commenting on multiple videos but only one entry will be counted per video.
- A random number generator will be used to select which video the winner is drawn from, then used again to select a winner from the list of unique commenters.
- The prize is an Anvil Legionnaire - there is no guarantee that if you seek to exchange it with CIG (the games developer) for store credit that this will be equal to the list price of the ship.
- There is no alternative to the prize.
- Please note that the Anvil Legionnaire is a concept ship and as such is not currently available to use in game. Its expected release date is as yet unknown.
- Once notified you have 3 months to claim your prize. If you don't claim it it will be returned to the prize pool.

[@KaptifLaDistillerie]

I want them to make the Bengal available, imagine a crew of hundreds of people or even a thousand, like a whole faction and the ship is never empty no matter at what time you connect you'll find crewmates. This would be the best gaming experience ever.

[@unadultratedtrini]

Gotta build up to that, instances are currently only 50 ppl at a time. Your talking about instances of at least 200 ppl together.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

@@unadultratedtrini yeah, even with AI, the Idris or Javelin can't crew up, with current server capacity limits.

[@unadultratedtrini]

@@Rob_Moilanen your ship should be persistent through all servers, and if someone targets you, they join your instance and vice versa. So players don't exist in all instances but ships do and instances should be fluid. I was playing yesterday and I got bugged, so I backed to menu to get back my ship but because I logged onto a different instance I couldn't get my ship. I was able to sell some of the cargo to recoup some of my money at the mining facility but I wasn't able to take the ship back to New Babbage or store it and load it back onto the pad. I would have to do an insurance claim which wipes the inv of your ship.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

@@unadultratedtrini you do realise what ships are account bound? And which ones are persistence bound? Especially with LTI ? It means, if you some how where to gank my Idris or Javelin, you do realise my LTI token says I may never "lose it"? Thats why the Bengals or other capitals will never be "owned"?

[@unadultratedtrini]

@@Rob_Moilanen I get that but as an object that exists in the ptu, once your ship is an object in game it should exist for every other person. Regardless of instance. So the way Cloud Imp does their game is you have the universe existing on servers, players and ships exist within instances on those servers. Actions that you perform on one instance have consequences to all players on that server. So all other instances will see the effects. A great way to understand this is hauling. If someone is hauling on the server, they may not be on your instance but they will be able to buy up all the lannite on a particular outpost. If you are not on their instance when you go to that outpost you will realize that there is no more of that resource for you to buy for your trade.

[@matthewtroia5836]

The pioneer is BY FAR the one I’m most excited for. Just to see how they eventually get the whole damn thing working. I want to see it spitting out bases!

[@LoudGuns]

Yeah hard to even know which I’m most excited for - probably I’d have to go with something like the Idris just for the sense of scale.

[@resoundingecho]

Speaking of base building, there is yet to be anything said about a ship that builds space stations. I would imagine the approach to be similar to that of the Pioneer, but in zero G.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

@@resoundingecho I'm abit torn with you here. CIG has never said anything about player building stations, cause "no two" stations are alike. That said, I can forsee a "gang" pioneers completing "some" station types that take several weeks (or months) to build. Remember you don't want these things crapping out stations everywhere in the verse!

[@resoundingecho]

@@Rob_Moilanen I agree with you that players should not (or at the very least not easily) be able to build space stations. At the time I commented, I was thinking more along the lines of completing the production chain and giving explanation to why stations occasionally pop up every once in awhile. Whether it is a ship that only exists in limited quantities (and at a sky high price), is exclusive to the UEE, or only exists in lore (e.g. acting behind the scenes and out of sight), it is something I would expect to exist simply to justify the formation of space stations.

[@Rob_Moilanen]

@@resoundingecho there is lore behind most of this, remember we are inhabiting a game that has existed, in lore, for centuries into our future lives. And many of the stations has existed for centuries as well, some of them have been abandoned for various reasons and have been taken over by various factions including player's/groups. Please don't forget that CIG does intend for players to be "able" to own stations, but we're not even close to the "tech" to be "able" to build them. Though I do suppose that pioneer ships could do it "theoretically", it may be that CIG doesn't want them to or at the very least not be able to, for now! Cause remember the game is still very much an alpha and we're not even close to the feature complete beta yet much less a full blown "release"!

[@aaroncollins1698]

I'd definitely agree with you about the ARGO capital refinery ship, I love their style and focus and a larger ship from them would neatly fill several existing niches.

[@LoudGuns]

Maybe I should make this a spectrum thread and show the level of demand for a glorious orange blocky Titan! 😂

[@Cogzed]

*RSI has the Pegasus and I believe it’s categorized as a light carrier. I also think it was white boxed. So there’s a possibility we’ll see it later in SQD 42 and further down the road in the PU.*

[@twocansams6335]

Ya he forgot the Pegasus, if I remember right it houses 30 or so fighters.

[@madtitan1946]

Thanks for the nice summary. Under your definition the Odyssey would also be a capital ship with it's capital(Power Plant, Cooler and Shield Generator). I don't see it as a Capital ship however since it's more in the ship class of the Carrack.

[@robblevins6009]

@@tevarinvagabond1192 since when?

[@Meuduso1]

Anvil already has a lot of things that can be used during ground assault, like the Atlas line, the Valk, the Liberator etc. What I'd love to see is that Anvil puts a crown on that style and making Anvil and Aegis more different in the sense that Aegis is more space based and aggressive and Anvil is more defensive and ground based to show that this new main military is there to protect the people and planets of the UEE. So I'd love to see a planetary assault carrier. This ship features a large cannon array that can be used from orbit to blast positions on the ground. It has capability for Valks to land on it, room for lots of troops and cargo and can land to bring the armored first of Spartans, Ballistas and Centurions to bear with along with Novas. And the crowning feature: Drop pods than can launch cargo drops or infamtry (including Titan suits) to the ground below it, sending the force inside to a location previously bombarded, landing and directly deploying. Meanwhile Valks make their way down and when the landing zone's secured the carrier itself comes down and acts as an HQ for the operation. Now this is pure insanity and just really just a fun idea for me. It isn't realistic for the game at all and would probably never show it's face. Still though, if there is an Anvil capital ship some day I'd love to see a lot of manufacturer synergy (Valk needs and update to carry an Atlas vic btw) and the stuff I mentioned before about Anvil's identity much more being that of a shield

[@jearlblah5169]

Kinda sounds like a bengal carrier (with its MASSIVE size 12 guns *on a turret*)

[@bowb5825]

I hadn't realized how many cap ships they already had lined up. Nice video

Thank you for the video. Had stopped paying attention to a number of the capital ships, so good to get a refresher.

[@dukewesson4944]

Thanks for taking the time to do this, really enjoyed this one! A lot of valuable info event though CIG doesn't have all the answers we want yet. I totally agree with you on the ship lineup needing to have another carrier and a capital size refinery. You brought very valid points. Keep up the good work!

[@LoudGuns]

Thanks Duke! Much appreciated - the thing I find a little funny is CIG do have so many answers it’s just that they’re buried in a randomly named article from 2016 😂

[@uncannyvalley2350]

[@phillip105pv]

Great video, love the explanations, also I agree we need something like the Perseus but bigger and able to board the enemy with. Capital ships should be able to board each other without too much difficulty, especially since CIG has said they want more bigger ships to get "disabled" and less blowing up in major explosions.

When capital ships are in the game AND purchasable ingame, that will mark a huge change in not just how we play SC, but also how CIG continues production of the game.

[@LoudGuns]

Just my thoughts, but I think from a funding perspective cap ships entering the PU and being purchasable with credits will probably mark the transition from whale funding to mass funding - if and when they manage it that’d be such a watershed moment for a lot of people that I don’t think they’d struggle to sell 100 Aurora’s for every 1 Javelin they sell now.

[@JamestheKilljoy]

@@LoudGuns Thanks for the reply. To clarify, do you think it will be a good thing for cap ships to be purchasable in game? Or will it hinder CIG's bottom line?

I am so looking forward to getting the BMM. Every time they add in pictures/vids with what is being done it has made the wait so very much worth it. Lots of detail and a great ship to own for multi-career-based citizens. Something to travel around in the black with and find things to do along the way. My Firefly if you will. The Orion is something I am considering as well. Big miner and what brought me to your channel. :) Thank you for the vid Loud. You do these very well!

@@LoudGuns Those are also the only two cap ships that I own. As cool as the Orion is, I think it is fair to say that it will be at least another 18 months or more before we see one in game. Additionally, I am super hyped for the BMM as it is truly a jack of all trades ship that can make lots of money while also being a makeshift base of operations which can operate in hostile territory such as Pyro.

[@lwg4526]

Great video, lots of things I didn't know before! I agree 100% with the Argo Capital ship!

[@clementuus]

Really interesting video, thank you for the quality of your work ! This game will have so much diversity once orgs could buy whatever ship suits their needs. I imagine players creating a "city" in space just with ships where people of the org mine in the near areas and other players come there and buy the ressources they need. And after a certain time the org decides to move to another solar system and the economic changes a lot because of that mining city. I hope the things that happen in a solar system will have an impact on all the npcs in that system if the event is important enough, for example two factions fighting with a Bengal. This game has still so much to deliver to space fans.

[@LoudGuns]

Thanks mate! Yeah we were talking about the idea of a floatilla space station made by docking endeavor’s, kraken’s, Orions etc together - allowing an org to have a safe harbour off the main trade lanes.

So true that Kingships and the Pegasus will likely be props or hero pieces that won't be realized until well into the game's lifetime, but the idea of a derelict Kingship, better yet one we can repair like the Bengal, that's what makes this game amazing. Fantastic work, Ten thumbs up 👍

Ship progression: Titan---->Bengal. I’ll definitely look into it, we’ve got a few things in the works!

[@airallieman]

Spot on with the gaps in available ships. Right now I think the Perseus is going to dominate as the primary ship of the line, bringing the best damage to crew size ratio. They need to add in something 50-75% larger with capital shields and 2-3 additional duel size 7 turrets and additional point defense weapons. For light carriers something that could carry 6 bombers or 12 light fighters would be ideal, in my mind something that would be in the rear of a formation that could deploy additional landing pads for repair/refuel/rearm by drones.

I really love the capital size ships and actually want the game to do capital ship battles, the small ships don't really hold much fascination for me, My idea is that an Org will have a capital ship always out in the PU where all members of the org will spawn in when they enter the game that will make it easy to find players to do stuff together and of course it can be attacked as an org spawn point, aside from maybe a planetside base for an organization or that is where the capital ship will spawn when it gets destroyed.

[@samisuhonen9815]

For combat, the game is missing a dedicated dreadnaught/battleship/battlecruiser. The Javelin is a destroyer, the Idris and Bengal are both carriers. Granted, the Bengal is sort of multirole with the huge bottom turret. But I'd still argue we don't have a proper dreadnaught/battleship/battlecruiser concept. Some ship that's the size of the Bengal, with even more focus on just armor and guns. Like you know the bottom turret of Bengal? Slap on two turrets of that size on the bottom and two on the top. Fill the sides with turrets that have 4xS7 guns, and sprinkle in a few dozen point defense automatic gatling and missile turrets. I want to see the barrage of firepower from all 4 guns doing a naval dreadnaught bombardment, while the huge amount of S7 guns just rain down constant sprays of rounds. It would be glorious, if only as an endgame PvE combat challenge for huge orgs, or for random players to take part in as a dynamic event.

Looking forward to the Orion, though I will probably be looking to crew on someone else's till I can afford one! Also looking forward to salvage mechanics so I can finally take my reclaimer out and use it properly!

[@votpavel]

hell yeah , id love to just fly by and come aboard just to see the orion and drink some tea or coffee on board with a captain

[@dracinic]

Can't get enough of your content. For the legion.

[@dchippie]

Interesting three hands lol I was thinking of getting the pioneer but maybe when there's more info from CIG. As always another great video . Thank you sir 👍

[@LoudGuns]

So many other hands when it comes to researching CIG’s docs! The Pioneer has me tempted if I’m honest since I love base building but not being able to CCU to it puts me off a little. Cheers Chippie - much appreciated!

[@dchippie]

@@LoudGuns I'm not gonna ask where those extra hands are popping out from lol

[@Waserice]

Amazing video, can't wait for my BMM!

[@LoudGuns]

Cheers mate! With you on that one ☝️

[@saavedra8107]

Never wanted to hit pause plus I already had a drink and food ready to go. Very well done and keeps up the hope that I can someday go 10 minutes without relogging. Maybe my son will inherit my rig + flight sticks and get to play in the beta.

[@Kasabear]

This was an awesome video. I got ditscyed by your capital shops in

[@LoudGuns]

Haha cheers mate!

[@Bazkhar]

This was a cool list!

[@Dr4g0n36]

Very detailed video and well explained but...the Odyssey? Has Capital class shields. Could be a hint to do a spin-off video?

[@FormerBunsenBurner]

There _are_ actually two other carriers in the lore: the RSI Pegasus and the Crusader Jupiter. The Pegasus is supposedly meant to be prominent in Squadron 42, and it can carry 32 fighters and two Retaliators. The Jupiter, meanwhile, is stated to not actually appear in the PU, but knowing CIG they might add it anyways.

I picked up an Idris and the K upgrade kit this most recent IAE. I can’t wait to stuff my whole org in that sucker and go pirate hunting. Something we’ve been discussing is all the possible combinations of smaller ships you can fit in it. One suggestion that gave us all chills was the idea of loading it up with eclipses. Having a stealth escort capable of lobbing size nine torps at things would be just dirty

[@thegunfight3r415]

Awesome video sir!

[@AtlasGaming4k]

Well as the owner of all those ships and a member of your ORG :) I look forward to when these are in the game...

[@LoudGuns]

We’re going to need to find a lot of Aurora owners out there in the black!

[@aldodelarosa8826]

Can’t wait to see more ships

[@chrishill900]

Great watch!
