The Starlancer MAX is My New Favourite Ship in Star Citizen

[@Stakar0gord]

For the rear cargo, the grid is against the walls so the Vehicle can fit without interfering with the cargo

[@GFAPlays]

That makes, so much freaking sense! Why didn’t I try that. Thank you haha pinning your comment :)

[@archiewoodward4115]

Should put grids in the middle though in case you don’t want a vehicle

[@ChristoffRevan]

@@archiewoodward4115 Eventually, all floor surfaces will be grids using a dynamic tech, a similar tech for the ground mesh that NPCs use to traverse surfaces; we only have fixed grids now due to tech limitations and lack of priority for that mesh tech

[@dizzylemongaming2175]

Thanks, I was going to comment the same.

Even though I have no plans to get the Starlancer Max ( I got the Zeus CL) I love that Star Citizen's has so many ships to choose from to suit a players taste. The amount of variety to me is great it adds to the immersion and fun to see so many players flyiing so many various ships.

[@Luix_OS]

Ahh that view from the train with the polaris and starlancer was soo cool. I really hope we get to the server meshing with all the ships around and this actual alive universe

[@GFAPlays]

Me too 😍

[@jimc7022]

I think the Starlancer Max is a great step between the medium haulers and the C2/M2. I love the updated functions and the interior but function-wise it seems a step backwards from the starlifters. That is fine since the price point seems right for its level on the ship progression ladder. As an M2 owner I’m just not sure what I would use the Max for. Maybe I’ll check out the Tac but I don’t think I play enough multi-crew to get a good use out of it.

[@-aurality-7928]

I want a Starlancer BRG (Barrage) or something where the cargo middle section is home to a pod that drops like 128 or so s1 bombs across an area like a carpet bomb

[@partydemon2849]

Or a whole lotta missles

[@ethancampbell2422]

The cargo is 4x32SCU boxes on the dropdown section, that's 128 SCU, plus 2x32SCU boxes on each side of the vehicle hangar, plus 16 SCU on top of each these in the form of 1 SCU high boxes for a total of 96 SCU in the vehicle hangar, for a total of 224 SCU secured in the whole ship, while still holding an Ursa.

[@GFAPlays]

Spicy! I need to fill it up and see!

[@partydemon2849]

Pog , this is what I’ve been trying to figure out. Thanks

[@AlbandAquino]

I now have both the Mini MAX and the Maxi MAX 😂 Love the MISC bridges. They make me feel like I'm in a REAL ship. I also love the fact that you have little windows everywhere on the Starlancer. 👍🏼

[@GFAPlays]

🤣🤣 love that. Such a cool ship. I’m team Misc all the way!

[@RumpleForeeSkin]

@@GFAPlays I bought the Odessey way back in 2021. I'm still hoping they release it in the next year or 2.

[@NeonMako]

MISC really does do the best cargo bays. Freelancer, Starfarer, and now this all have really good ones. And really digging the Mojave paint, the weird 'moon boot toe cap' looking thing above the cockpit though looks terrible.

[@GFAPlays]

I love how it looks 🤣 but I’ve said it before, Misc is my favourite manufacturer! So I’m bound to like it haha

I'm a solo player, so practicality of the Polaris will never be fully usable for me, which is why I have an 890 just as a home base, 0 combat kind of setup. But my god I am excited to see so many large ships flying about! So beautiful!

[@Ehawk_]

Love this ship. Swapped my Corsair for it after trying it. Just provides a bit more than the Corsair for me and doesn’t have too stubby landing gear. Will probably upgrade mine to the BLD once that comes for a little extra functionality

[@GFAPlays]

Yeah I love this thing! They nerfed the Corsair HARD

[@1183newman]

@@GFAPlays They will nerf this when the next similar ship is about to come out so people buy it.

[@GFAPlays]

Nerf it how?

[@tiekin]

This ship has released in a sort of state where there is nothing really to nerf, it has smaller comps then average for its size, weaponry is balanced and its not going to get much slower, I legit cannot think of anything to nerf on this thing!

[@GFAPlays]

@ agreed. Not sure what they could do to nerf it at all

[@jch1386]

While not my favorite looks for a ship, the Starlancers still look suitably utilitarian.

[@messybestie-d7i]

Pretty sure MISC is not unique in having individual habs. Drake has the Corsair. But I agree, this is now one of the best ships in the game right now, despite its flaws. You have cargo space that holds 128 SCU (4 FULL 32 SCU crates) before you even have to use the vehicle bay, which has enough space to add 2 or more of most vehicles. I also added some furniture to the cargo grids on the side, namely the CitizenCon storage chests, the skull couches and a couple seats on either side right at the door to make it feel like a proper lived in hangar/garage. The ship even opens up down the middle so loading cargo is MUCH easier. Also the way that cargo lift works, it's going to present some unique gameplay opportunities. I've experimented with adding furniture on it to create jump seats. Plus there's enough visibility when it's lowered that you can use the catwalk to snipe enemies from elevation without ever having to land.

@ Yooo preciate you! Definitely gonna play this in the background whenever I fly ships casually now haha, so atmospheric

[@ericwollaston5654]

Sorry, the TAC is slated for 2025 release per the ship page. You are correct, nothing really holding it back mechanically, but it does have to get made is all. The whole middle is different, so maybe arrive at Invictus mext May. Fitting time to arrive, right, with it being the military celebration.

[@GFAPlays]

Oh really? That makes me sad haha but understandable. Yeah you’re probably right about an Invictus launch then! Good shout.

no VTOL? i thought they said it did and that it had extra over the TAC?

Maybe I got it wrong? I didn’t notice any

[@evobsm2328]

​@@GFAPlaysthere is also a cargo grid in the back.. the only downside is... its on the sides and it can only hold like... 48 scu on either side

[@prinastripes1589]

It has VTOL engines, but no moving thrusters like a cutty black. I currently can't test in-game to see if the VTOL engines shut off when not in VTOL mode but they are there.

[@GFAPlays]

That makes much more sense :)

[@tiekin]

@@evobsm2328I think you can also put 4 scu containers on the 4x16 scu containers, this totals to 96 scu, the promised cargo cap in the rear

Famous words of every youtuber doing a tour of their new ship: "My new favorite ship".

Its so funny i got zeus cl not long ago and when i seen the MAX i upgraded to it 😅

I did a very similar thing! I also have a Railen just waiting 😭 I wonder which one I’ll end up with haha

[@partydemon2849]

Got a CL. Also now have a star lancer. Don’t know what I want to do with myself. Guess I could take the star lancer for group gameplay

[@tallll70]

How did you got the paint? I got the blue extra paint and it does not show... Also there is few missing things i hope they fix for live and not like 5 years from now, the rear mid thruster is missing it has the flame but not the actual engine, headlights are missing only light emitter is there and beds don't have log out/in feature which that would be the most important to me i guess

[@GFAPlays]

It should just be in your mobiglass under the vehicle tab? Click on the ship and then “livery” and should be there. If not, you probably just need to copy your account across to the PTU again to get your most up to date hanger data.

How do we get one of these, are they available to purchase in game or pledge?

[@GFAPlays]

Pledge only atm. Will be in game to purchase in a couple of months. You’ll be able to rent one for free on Misc day during IAE at the end of this month :) try it out

[@ericwollaston5654]

The Polaris is faster in SCM mode and has same Nav top speed as the Starlancer MAX.

[@Itspandz]

Will they be buyable ingame?

[@GFAPlays]

Yeah absolutely. All the ships are/will be available in game (give or take a few very rare ones). New ships just take a patch or two before they get added into the in game shops. Usually around 2-3 months before you see them in game but there has been occasions where it’s been less than 2 months.

[@xdgamer0189]

personnaly im still waiting for my railen to arrive

[@GFAPlays]

I’ve got the Max to Tac CCU purely because I have a Railen too. So I’m in the same boat as you when it comes to a cargo ship. I’m really loving the Max right now though!

[@lanceobe6801]

CIG puts more time and effort in creating ships than they do creating a game to play them in but fortunately it's worked for them because idiots keep buying these them. Getting excited for a new interior to walk around just to find all the bugs Right before crashing to desktop.

[@GFAPlays]

If that’s your view, that’s fine. But you can’t be following the project closely if you actually think they aren’t working hard on the game/gameplay at the same time. And as a side note, hand on heart, I’ve crashed to desktop less than 10 times in the last 2 years. Still isn’t a good thing but your comment makes it sound like a big problem, which in my experience, it isn’t.

[@lanceobe6801]

@GFAPlays I want the game to succeed and I've even purchased ships so I have some skin in the game but I think the reality is they using ship sales as the bait bait to fund squadron 42 and develop new tech that they're experimenting on in the PTU. Which is misleading in my opinion

[@GFAPlays]

Oh you’re bang on the money, the ship sales are a way to keep funding the project, to make S42 and the new tech. But ultimately, without that new tech, SC (the PU) can’t be made, at least not the game they’ve sold it as. So it’s kind of catch 22. You’re not wrong but I think most backers now understand that. It’s the brand new backers that may be mislead if they purchase off the back of a trailer or concept art. I don’t like it, but I understand it and if it gives us a great game in a few years, I’m here for it. But I totally understand where you’re coming from. All I’d say is that they are very open with that at events like Cit Con and in ISC’s. Just maybe not as much on their website.

[@lanceobe6801]

@GFAPlays I think they should put all their time and effort and resources into finishing squadron 42 not in two more years, and If it goes smoothly and it's a success then people will regain their patience with the PTU. Because I think most people agree when you have a really awesome game that's solo everyone wishes it was multiplayer and knowing this people won't hesitate to continue funding a game. But their approach is patch the bugs and release new features which in turn have bugs and require a new patch making the PTU mostly a mess. There have been moments to where it was running smoothly which gave everyone a glimpse of what it could be but at The pace of development it's going to be years and years before the PTU is anything to Play seriously.

[@NomeDeArte]

I’d love not have a hostel in the middle of my ship. Why not more cargo space or something useful?

[@JoschiChr]

The middle walkway in the cargo is cool, but such a waste of space.

[@GFAPlays]

I guess how would you get from one end to the other. Unless it was all done upstairs only.

[@JoschiChr]

@GFAPlays no need to get from one side to the other. Replace one of the twobackside lifts with a ladder. Take out the front lift and ladder, aswell as the armory. Whilst that one might be nice on the combat version, here it wastes so much cargo space.

[@webbygaming1583]

Sorry, the Starlancer MAX gets a NO vote from me... • A stunning amount of wasted space • THREE elevators! Why does a medium ship need three elevators? • TWO elevators literally a few feet apart in the cargo area... Why? • Four separate crew quarters in the center of the ship • great if it is a large ship with 700+ cargo, but terrible for a 224 cargo capacity ship • Considered a "Multi-Crew" ship but very low cargo capacity • thus, low profit split 4 ways = nobody will make any money. • if flown solo to max profits, then the four separate habs are EVEM MORE wasted space • Horrible view from cockpit • the view is an arbitrary decision and makes no sense. it is not a passenger airliner, it is a cargo ship IN SPACE, having good view would be essential. • Unbearably S-L-O-W I feel people are all drooling about a damn pool table and ignoring that it is (yet another) very poorly designed ship from CIG. It is awful at its purpose of a multi-crew cargo hauler, and is massively inefficient if flown solo. Much like people gushed over the Zeus CL and now finally see how bad it is, in a few months people will wake up and see that the SL Max is a bad ship for its purpose... but yea, it has a pool table 🤣

[@partydemon2849]

I can see that. Are the whole lower deck cargo and then we’re going g places. I’m sure they can fit the gun racks upstairs somewhere
