A Story The Dev's Won't Tell You - The Cargo Crisis | Star Citizen Lore

[@TastelessMax]

Id really like to see an Argo competitor to the Drake Caterpillar with internal cargo.

[@rsanchez6832]

I would def melt my caterpillar for a Argo Freighter like the cat

[@Katastra_]

Considering the RAFT I wonder if they would build one with internal cargo

[@StortebeckerSF]

​@Katastra_ thr RAFT isn't really made for long distance mass freight, more for moving big boxes between ships/stations/bases being built. I'd hope they build a bigger freighter

[@0waverunner0]

My wallet wouldn't even see it coming...

[@rsanchez6832]

[@Drakuba]

12:39 a throwback to the cargo ship that lost container(s?) of rubber duck at sea. There are still some ducks floating around up to this day, 30ish years later :D

[@TemuFactoryWorker]

You should make like a 10 hour long video documenting the entire star citizen lore

[@omagro8267]

Hes doing that in a series

[@aimlis]

Great to see all this info tied together. Personally, it would be neat to see a revamped 600 cargo hauler.

[@acatsforklift]

I would love to see an Origin 600 in game, would be cool to have an Origin cargo hauler

[@WitcherGary]

Commented that every time Paul mentions the cargo 600. It coul also be more angular like the old Origin design style.

[@lavangfan]

Star Citizen lore is awesome

[@themanyouwanttobe]

The writers have had 10 years and no tech limitations to output content. 😂

[@texnorthman]

Love these lore videos :) One thing I would like to see is some form of time-line graphic when you are talking about what year things happened, maybe with a few notable SC lore events highlighted? Probably a pain to make, but it would help the more visual learners like myself to understand the context of the events in the greater history of SC.

[@luftwaffles274]

Would love to see an ARGO capital ship that is basically a mobile refinery that can land on planet or stay in space for a prolonged period of time and act as a mobile base for Mole fleets. Maybe even act as a Mole Carrier. Imagine a real world offshore oil refinery that can travel in space, but instead of oil it refines ores.

[@Belvayne]

Another banger of a lore video! It's very interesting to see the lore build up to things we currently see ingame but I'm curious now, there are many lore videos on this channel but are there any on the current era? Like what events are canonically happening since we as players have become able to influence the verse

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Good idea, I have the Jumptown video which covers this but there is other lore

[@akamekurome4941]

hopefully space pirates in star citizen give cargo runners more respect lol

[@nick_cartago]

You did it - chapeau Paul! Great approach of piecing lore together. Love it!

[@Fernsie-1138]

Nice work Paul! This needs to be made official lore.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Most of this is offical lore

[@Epsyk]

What a great lesson and good research. Surely, it wasn’t easy to Puzzle all pieces together. I appreciate your work.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

It was a revelation back when I made the Idris video and ever sense I have been finding different pieces of the puzzle. In doing this video I found even more parts that connected it together. But also this is the kind of shit Historians love doing, I just love that I can do it to the lore of a game I like.

[@Glathgrundel]

@@TheAstroHistorianThe lore of this game still has lots of blank bits … I hope they fill in obscure detail as the years pass.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

The blank spots are designed to be filled in with gameplay, the writers have said they don't want to write the gameplay teams into corners

[@jbtrimar]

Another great video, Paul. You are the best at this.

[@SamatWar]

Well done Astro love the Lore breakdowns

[@dadmin-2434]

A great mix of audio video kept my attention ,normally i loose interest when someone is talikng lore.but this format works for me .Well done .

[@joelellis7035]

So, the long development of the Constellation Taurus is officially in lore. Also, I would be interested in seeing an Origin 600 hauler.

[@chrisdash83]

really well done and narrated, thank you so much!

[@jedi_drifter2988]

I really hope the old ships like the Connies, Freelancers and the Cat, get the upgrades they deserve and not 3yrs from now.

[@PaulMEdwards]

VERY interesting, and really helps to tie together a lot of what we see in the 'Verse... Excellent work, as always.

[@JDBriceProductions]

It is nice to get a little slice of the lore that may not seem exciting, but the 'Verse was forged by the logistics, perhaps more than by the conflicts.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I would love to see s 600 hauler and other variants of the larger Origin ships. Like a 420i data runner and a 610i cargo hauler.

[@OgLockpin]

Love the Lore! Thank you Paul.

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

Thank you Paul, for another interesting and informative as well as entertaining Star Citizen Lore Video!!

[@hogfry]

I'd LOVE to see origin make a ultra high speed luxury hauler for delivering special goods like perishables or luxury items.Something long and lean with a long hold underneath and a luxurious upper deck. Between the 400 and the 600 maybe

[@papabutter21]

I’ve been dying for a “500i” ship one of these days

[@THEDARKILLERS46]

Hellll yeah

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

600-M military transport, explicitly using the same hull as the 600i but can carry standard military vehicals like the Spartan and Nova.

[@citizens-Edz]

I’m really late to the party, but this is now officially a part of my little organization history, thanks a lot!

[@SeniorCritizen]

Do you have a video discussing the rise and rule of the messer regime? i searched your channel, but couldn't find one.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Not yet, I am going to cover it with the complete history series but I should do one on the Messers during the slower periods.

[@fracturedprism]

Nice video! I guess the only thing missing is the Retaliator cargo module, a bit of a mystery as to who invented it and with not being in-game yet it's hard to find much info on it.

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Not really a mystery but I didn't add it because it is nebulous in terms of when it happened. Likely around the same time though as the Tali wasn't originally modular.

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

What are the odds of getting a 600-M that can transport a Nova? And what did the Messier military use as combat transports, that were handed out to the civilian market at the start of the Cargo Crisis? Can we expect an Aegis Dynamics heavy hauler?

[@RobinHartJones]

The upcoming reworked 600i Explorer *will* be able to carry a Nova. CIG have confirmed that.

[@stationBob]

Excellent video and summary. Someone should make sure this gets seen by CIG teams!

[@Dj3ndo]

Got to your channel via Space Tomato. Wonderful content. Subbed!

[@breadbeard6722]

Why do you do this to me. Now I really crave the cargo update and personal hangars. But great video though, i really enjoy every lore video you do.

[@fishbaitx]

😮 cargo crisis, logistics are so important

[@PippenPA]

Excellent as always!

[@sole5696]

Bro....... your complete history series........... when?? LOL nah keep it coming man we love it!! 🙂

[@ha1ban3]

i love star citizen lore, it was all i would read in my classes in highschool lol.

[@TheMossadAgent]

I feel like with the addition of new systems we might get to see new manufactures

[@clarkcoffman2164]

As a trader in Star Citizen I always like to see the history of the ships I'm using, thanks.

[@nuganooch1]

Cargo crisis still a thing in hostile territory. Drake Interplanetary: "Hold my beer."

[@ash_whole5442]

well done, one of your best

[@andrewfanner2245]

So much lore yet so little content in the game references it, Player (hostile being the sole option for almost all) interaction being a subsitute for using the lore to makle stories.

[@andromeda7418]

Another phenomenal video!!

[@lurakin88]

I do find it a little hard to believe that the 600i came out of the 600 and not the other way around. You can't look at the hull of that thing and go "yep, that's a hauler"

[@theg0z0n]

I've been wanting a video on this for a long time!!!!!

[@hansolav5924]

I bought my freelancer on the promise that I would not have to load or unload it personally. still waiting for the deck/cargo crews of stations and outposts stepping up to the plate.

[@Arkios366]

Isnt anvil who had no implication with messer. And Aegis does got alot. I remember Anvil being created after messer era. And being the clean military corporation for the post messer era government And aegis being the big military friend of messer being not so much used by military because messer implication....

[@TheAstroHistorian]

They were founded in 2772, just before the end of the Messers. Recent lore has Anvil build a fighter for the Messers called the Osprey, but it was at the end of the Messer Era.

[@Arkios366]

​@@TheAstroHistorianSo my brain doesnt fail me. You have miss between anvil and aegis. Anvil has no way thing to do with messer. F7A was created for uee to not having to use aegis ships....

[@TheAstroHistorian]

No they did make a ship for the Messers, the Osprey. It's just that was the only ship they made before the fall of the Messers in 2792.

[@CitizenNerd]

what is the ship 4 minutes in ?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

AEGIS Vulcan

[@CitizenNerd]

@TheAstroHistorian ahhh the ship that made me come back to SC and then i was not even flyable yet..

[@ReinQuest]

The timing of this couldn’t be better as I’ve been planning to do a video related to a ship mentioned here.

[@Axeonfluke]

Aegis Dynamics is Best Dynamics

[@hawkshaw2]

I really hope we see more Banu and Xi'an transport ships in the future.

[@UnderdogSMO]

This makes the most sence but the lore team will hand wave something less interesting just to spite you for comeing up with it first

[@TheAstroHistorian]

I think it was meant to be the case based on all the evidence I collected, but they never stopped and thought 'oh shit, this might have been a bigger deal than we initially thought' in terms of how this impacted the entire structure of the UEE and thus Cargo Gameplay.

[@DashRendar308]

Origin 600c

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

Also Origin 600-M. (because 600m says something completely different)

[@anothergoogleuser]

Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidOlver]

will we ever see the old ships from the past ?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

Maybe

[@DavidOlver]

@@TheAstroHistorian cool

[@rory-red]

even though the Retailator is ship that will get Modularity 1st in the verse

[@TheAstroHistorian]

The tali is a military ship and got its modules in lore as an aftermarket kit

[@luke5g230]

Great video thank you.

[@Sarsour_]

Awesome content!

[@igorpniak8308]

Honestly, this video does very well for a "high effor low view count" one

[@TheAstroHistorian]

I wasn't expecting it to do this well honestly.

[@lunamaria1048]

Why does CIG devs not want to tell us about this lore?

[@TheAstroHistorian]

I have no idea, my guess is that they don't want to paint the other teams into a specific corner.

[@RybakSix]

Thx o7

[@WitcherGary]

Congrats on the banger.

[@Oshiruko_999]

Cargo Crisis ---> my brain filter ---> 30k

[@parmesanzero7678]

Obviously for you to have put this together, you pulled it from the lore. And that lore is available, so claiming “the devs won’t tell you” is just untrue. I would like to see more of the lore actually encapsulated in the game. They started trying to with the Gundo Shipping Hub and then just… stopped. I’m hoping once they get more of the nuts and bolts in, they start filling that in and giving us more story paths in SC.
