The Weird History of the Origin M50 | Star Citizen Lore

[@TheWasd1234]

The Astrohistorian dropping the lore on me harder than an A2 at JT.

Tell me why that line hits so hard

[@keysi7558]

It’s insane that we have a 12 minute lore video about a little racing ship amongs 100+ ships. I am loving this lore

[@TheAstroHistorian]

This is also reduced somewhat for flow, I could have made an easy 20 minute video with all the info about M50's in lore. The sheer volume of lore for this game is staggering.

[@JackalX111]

"A ship that will go fast" haha, I love the Ricky Bobby approach! Great video AH!

[@HeroGenix]

I've been so interested in seeing a version of the M50 that is purpose built for combat - make larger wings, beef up the fusalage and turn it into a dedicated fighter

[@JoshSweetvale]

That's the Gladius.

[@HeroGenix]

@@JoshSweetvale I mean for me I want the M50 to have a dedicated fighter/interceptor variant with slightly stronger weapons and missiles - while still keeping it small

[@Rojosolette]

The Astrohistorian is my go to source for Star Citizen lore to the point if the game developers said something about lore and Paul contradicted it I believe Paul.

[@nicewinter7218]

The one... the ONLY... AstroHistorian!

[@shaneduc]

This is one of my top 5 ship's. That I feel I got to have.

[@shaunryan4440]

If the M50 wasnt the fastest option around for Bronsen's Bolts...what was? (I smell a relic hunt)

[@aera64]

Next to the merlin, the 85X and razor are fun GOT TO GO FAST ships love them all three.

[@PieVsCake]

This is in fact the best snub you can get atm if your wanting fast A-B travel with a bite to keep away the wolves. Bare in mind this thing has less storage then a 5 1/4" floppy.

[@bryanthegoalie5692]

I love having my c2(because I dont have the m2) with these in my bay. Pull up open hangers and send my minions out to ambush. Feels awesome. Like a carrier.

[@scottsimo3170]

I got this ship last week to get ready for the new race tracks. I am happy with it so far.

[@thatoneguy3032]

Fantastic lore. Would love a reference for some of it to look up myself but I am willing to accept the fantastic work done.

[@Havak37]

Best looking race ship ever! Much love thanks for the vidyah! and all the great images

[@Nosdeblack]

Avenger never gets old on it's purpose.

[@swytchyglytch]

It's because of this video that I gave the M50 a second thought, and I'm starting to fall in love with it lol. Unrelated: I know a bit of Latin but only took two semesters of it. Am I right in thinking that you said "Ex historia ad astra."? as in "From history to the stars."? Or did I mishear that?

[@hawkshaw2]

Very interesting video. I hope we will be able to modify this ship.

[@WitcherGary]

M50 always looked like a too much ship for me, like its ready and happy to snap your neck. 85x is lot more my cup of tea.

[@NecroBones]

It's my favorite ship that I rarely fly. :) I absolutely love this little racing plane to death, except it performs SO BADLY these days in atmosphere. I just wish it were fun to fly there. So most of the time it just sits in the hangar. But if it could once again regain the flight performance that it looks like it should have, I'd probably be using this thing all the time.

[@house382]

What racing ship have those brick makers at RSI made? Has the lore team said?

[@piedpiper1172]

Unfortunately, all test pilots have died owing to the chronic inability for RSI to solve the challenge of building a ship with a cockpit view unobstructed by construction scaffolding. This has left any speed focused design sadly vulnerable to smashing into things.

[@FullyBakedAgain]

not sure if you wanna know but youtube removed my sub to your channel, just re subbed great video!!

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Welcome back!

[@esdee108]

When the M50 was being redesigned, what ship was RSI fielding to win the cup?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

That is a good question, it was never mentioned by name but it does imply that RSI has a small racing ship.

[@esdee108]

@@TheAstroHistorian maybe with the addition of racing as a gameplay loop (along with some upcoming sub flair) we might see some more racing concepts! The modified Hornet has me intrigued as well!

[@michaelmichaelagnew8503]

@@TheAstroHistorian CIG might introduce it as the last ship out of all ships so that all the ones before it will get the nerf and it will never have to see one.

[@JustaThing]

Racing is one of my favorit things in space sci fi's so I'm really excited for the racing update, and hopefully one day we get the ability too modify our racers, I want too see a mustang torn apart and rebuilt as a racer And I know it has a racing variant but it kinda blows I wanna see if strapped with different thrusters, weight reduced, etc I want street cars Granted I don't actually expect these features but (spoilers?) seeing that aurora strapped with gatlines in that one leaked video got my hopes up

[@DavidHanniganJr]

Analytics!

[@Moples223]

Before last wipe I got an m50 cuz it looked cool and it can be spawned at any pad. It's controls are too damn janky though. Which isn't bad, it's supposed to be high performance. But now I tend toward buying an i100 variant.

[@michaelmichaelagnew8503]

Those i100 varients are nice every day flyers as long as you don't have to fly long distance. I love using the i135 cargo varient but the others do just nice.

[@theg0z0n]

Let's go?

[@testypresidentgaming]

that beep just to block Fuck is insanely loud and horrible sounding. more like a warning alarm...
