You Shouldn't Buy The Crusader Intrepid in Star Citizen

[@DubStepTomatoFarmer]

Long time Elite Dangerous player. This starter ship got me to finally buy Star Citizen. I love the interior. Yes i know the Avenger Titan is a much better ship but one reason I bought this ship was to carry over that sweet LTI to an upgrade in the future.

[@mr.i1463]

Hope someday we will not always get a combat starter or delivery, why not a mining/salvage starter...

[@thomas9919]

@@mr.i1463 the prospector already is the mining starter, not sure how you could make something even less effective than that really. Not every game mechanic should have a cheap entry point, some things have to be left in order to build up to and achieve through effort or a somewhat sizeable price tag. Can’t just splash $50 and expect everything

[@igorborracini5722]

@@thomas9919 And the upcoming misc fortune looks like it will be a salvage starter too

[@iamskah9412]

bought it a couple days ago, did a few bounties and thought the PU and shields were a bit shite so upgraded them, now its pretty good tbh

[@nicolasboivin384]

I have it and i realy love it so far !

[@thomas9919]

I swear every KZbinr that reviews ships are reading from the same script. Not a single original take. I think the ship is gorgeous, and yes while it should have been $10 cheaper based off stats alone, it’s clear that a shit ton of work went into it and is still a fantastic little ship for the money.

[@callsigngrimdoll]

Aye. I agree. A spaceship that looks like a spaceship and not a modern jet fighter that happens to be able to go into space.

[@anubitus]

I especially love the interior. The exterior looks a little flat imo and could use another pass to add some detail...

[@Katchalata]

Its honestly a great ship. A little C1. I like it a lot and could see it as a good daily

[@TsvetanVR]

Nuh-uh, Intrepid is crap.

[@Katchalata]

@@TsvetanVR L take

[@Damiv]

The exterior looks great. It's become my new starter ship of choice. It's a great little all around shuttle.

[@RiftWalkerIX]

Right now with the iae discount on the game package it's the best value if you want to do an upgrade. I bought the intrepid and then upgraded to a Nomad, so I got a Nomad starter pack with lti for 83usd

[@DismayingHades6]

people loving the intrepid is fair, but you can't deny the avenger is just gonna get you further in the current state and probably for the next 2 years. and after years of seeing this type of insane love for a new ship in the game over and over again, what do yall think happened when the avenger came out, those old ships literally funded the game xD

[@callsigngrimdoll]

Further faster- it depends on what one does in the verse- you can't mine or salvage in an Avenger either. Some of us don't play Star Citizen to get rich or "win". And nobody I've seen who loves the Intrepid has "hated" on the Avenger. It's just a matter of taste and interest not which is better for some of us.

[@briangueringer3673]

​@@callsigngrimdollAnyone who likes it likes, fair enough. A new player though would be better serves by an Avenger... I would only say if you are already in the game and want one cool, videos like this are pointed at new players and the opinion in the video is absolutely correct.

[@callsigngrimdoll]

@briangueringer3673 Key word being opinion. I guess it is for the ignorant types who min max. Fair enough.

[@briangueringer3673]

@callsigngrimdoll It's not an opinion that the Intrepid is equal to or better than the Titan. A new player should get a Titan and go back and pick up other starters after they player has some experience. What people on your side of the fence are saying is,"Yeah, it's not as good as the Titan, but...". You want a new player to have the best experience possible, and that's the Titan. Now, if someone wants to buy it because of "the rule of cool", than do it, lol. That's up to the individual, but tell them the Titan isn't the best all-around starter.

[@callsigngrimdoll]

@@briangueringer3673 If you want the min max video game system then sure on paper it's better for all the "game loops" but I never worry about game loops, I go with what my character would do. RPers exist like it or not. But whatever. I'm honestly tired of the wannabe game dev owners spewing out opinions and assuming they matter.

[@konstantinmarburg7233]

very low emission and power efficient vessel with quadrant type shield, so you can boost shield direction, longest qt range and more fuel than all startes except the ugly cutter rambler. one gun is a bit meh but overall i like the ship. I have the titan as well, and yes its more versatile but i find myself taking the intrepid out more due to the longer range

[@TOMMYBOY601]

The only problem with long range is we could find ourselves in a cutter situation all over where it releases with great range and then it gets nerfed

[@weepy9622]

I like it. Happy I got it.

[@golgoth74]

you buy the ship alone or the game package ?

[@ergotroff]

If CIG brings out new ships that are better than the existing ones, players complain. If CIG brings out new ships that are not as good as the existing ones, players complain. I wonder what players would do if CIG brought out new ships that are the same as existing ones? Personally, I like the Intrepid :)

[@Garman_Humble]

TITAN FOREVER!❤

[@naril0s]

Most things that are wrong with Intrepid are not Intrepid's fault, but the Titan's. It's just obscenely overpowered, and you can't compete with it. Take it out of the equation, and the Intrepid looks much more interesting.

[@duramirez]

If you wanna look at something Asymmetric, just take a look at your Windows cursor... it's right there in your face and you never noticed it. 🙂

[@Bck2TheMnu]

Can it fit in a polaris though?

[@TheFoic]

yes it will, with room for a cutter next to it

[@taskforce876]

It fits multiple.

[@Bck2TheMnu]

That's awesome

[@stargeezer8427]

Agreed, it is not a good ship and it is not a good price, and I think it's particularly sketchy of CIG to also turn it into newbie bait by calling it a "starter".... The same new players who will eventually figure it out for themselves and CCU to something worthwhile later, aka spend even more money. However despite good intentions, I've decided to stop trying to argue with the fanbois, as they obviously don't care about facts regardless, and I suspect most will eventually (and quietly) follow the newbies' example anyway. 🍻

[@TsvetanVR]

CIG keeps producing starter ships that are nowhere near as good as the OG ones.

[@iiKiboshii-c3z]

It needs a size 2 shield gen, flat out. Titan has way, way better weapon loads, and has cargo space, ramp access for small bikes/cars, bed, small food area, better component slots. Same cargo capacity. decently quicker, and handles much better. A bit cheaper. Nomad has, again, way better weapon setup, all the inside functions, and a funky truck bed, better component slots, tractor beam. 3 times the cargo capacity. Very slightly slower, and only marginally lower handling. A bit more expensive. The only real thing the Intrepid has over them is the engineering station... which serves no use on that small ship. It has half the shields of the Titan, and 1/3 the shields of the Nomad, but loses so much DPS, and some utility even between the other two.

[@jlarry1]

You shouldn't buy it, but you are going to buy it. Like me. xD

[@asog88]

Outrageously overpriced. Sounds crazy, but $10 less and it would have sold like hotcakes. $65? My wife got it, but cuz she had a 125a and $5 in store credit. She loves the ship, but ouch to the price. Most existing players buying it are just to get a discounted LTI token

[@ytsks]

And you shouldn't be making yt videos...
