Would not want to be a janitor there, but I guess there would be job security.

It can't be THAT bad. One man's gross is another man's-OH DEAR GOD, NO....(barfs violently in corner)

I go wherever you fly the ship Captain... But are you sure we could put down at some nice beach on a vacation planet somewhere instead?

Don't forget. NPC crew will require proper amenities in order to maintain their morale and efficiency. I believe this is an obvious feature because they know people are going to solo this with them. Don't sleep on amenities if you're going to have them as crew members.

Best place to tour a ship is in Arena Commander free flight mode. Also there are two windows in the Mess Hall :)

You complain about the BMM? I hadn't heard... ;)

With its long range and awesome "living" arrangements, I don't understand why it doesn't have a small tier 3 medbay.

It's the future. Please tell me there's a self-racking feature to the pool table. hehe 100% nailed need for a window in the hab area. It's one of the reasons I still love the Phoenix. Now if they'd just let me ditch the meeting table and sub in that pool table, it would be more bueno.

I think the habitation/gallery has a couple skylights up top.

Got into the PTU yesterday and boy was it rough. Finally managed to get a decent FR in a euro server. This is a lovely ship, but interestingly it still has some foibles that I feel CIG should be easily avoiding these days. Twin lifts at the rear is wierdly excessive, given they rise and fall 3-4 metres apart. One would have been sufficient. I think the barricades that flip up once the midship cargo hold drops down could be taken out, so cargo egress can pass through side to side under the catwalk. There's not a lot to gripe about though, personally at least. There are skylights in the hab. I missed them when I did my first walkthrough. I like the separation for the armoury; that feels right. And it's great the way the rear cargo hold feels just like a giant Reliant. Also, Pacific paint would be my pic of liveries.

I think the whole "starlancer issue" when it comes to the Max and "Dur" is frankly down to it's price. It's priced like a connie and is very comparable in a lot of ways including cargo capacity. CIG loves the connie and I dont think they want to step on any toes. If it were to be a caterpillar competitor, it's price would have to increase to match. And I think the starlancer really does feel like a ship that could have swelled in price to meet those needs, but they really wanted to make a more entry base builder with the BLD. In my opinion, i do think that this could have and should have been bumped up a tier of ship given it's size. Similarly, the exploration career path is a weird balance calculation where they've made a bunch of "useless" starter exploration ships and a few late game options like the odyssey and carrack. The Odyssey was balanced against the carrack, and one of the big differences is that the odyssey only holds something like 252 units of cargo. Which is nearly identical to the starlancer max. Aside from that, the odyssey offers medical benefits and a hangar in the current game iteration along with an exploration perk of a quantum refinery. So, for CIG, it probably comes down to how many features they can offer at a reasonable cost without stepping on the odyssey's toes. Which probably means sacrificing the belly bays like the tac for an exploration drone station and a medical bed and charging $350 for an exploration ship that would be a pricy competitor to a corsair, but half the price of the odyssey. At the end of the day i'm totally fine with them releasing ships that are overall solid for the money but maybe aren't meta defining. Which.. is similar to the freelancers. And the starlancer is essentially the 2x version of those. in size, function, and price. It's kinda hilarious how grumpy people are getting about that fact. Then again, people are getting grumpy that the polaris cant be soloed.. so that doesnt mean much. lol

3:15 What is going on here? Is that round thing blocking the aft portion of the midship cargo hold?

Grim, I love the overall design of the Max. But I'm going to be honest here... I feel like the cargo grid is underwhelming for the ship size. The ship strongly reminds me of an exploration ship. Not a true blue cargo ship. In fact, I've made a post on spectrum with this concern. The Max looks like what the unborn Starlancer "Trek" should be. The cargo variant could cut down on the crew living areas a bit, allow 32 scu boxes to stack on the port and starboard side for a total of 256 scu, then just allow the vehicle bay to double as a cargo grid for a total of roughly 400 scu. Throw a sliding remote tractor beam underneath the catwalk and viola. You've got yourself a VERY nice hauler imho. Take the Starlancer Trek and include some exploration perks onto it. You've now got 4 ships under the Starlancer name that are masters of their craft.

Secret history of Argo?

I want levers and dials like the space elevator in SC, like real bad!

Some day I'll buy a GPU replacement for my 1070, and that will be the day I can fly my LTI Merchantman. The last thing I ever bought before I decided to stop "getting that bag."

I simply have a upgrade from ironclad assault to merchantman and when that ironclad assault comes out in-game and is purchasable in-game i will redeem the upgrade.

I don't understand the reasoning behind nerfing--sorry, "balancing"--the Corsair, when armor hasn't been introduced yet.

Tracked vehicle before the Atlas one I believe could be an MLRS platform.

41:33 is the Crusader Intrepid. The thing over the person standing is the gun right of the cockpit. The lights out front are on the edges of the cockpit. You can't see the back of the ship well but that's where the F-19 style inward swept stabilizers are. Go check out the previews of the Intrepid that start after the Medical Terrapin previews with this silhouette in mind and you'll see it.

as for the Drake thing, i think you guys may be too focused on it being a drake ship. the wing design doesn't lend itself well to atmo flight. in order for asymmetry to work, you would need to balance the lift characteristics of both sides. that is why the corsair has 2 small wings and one large wing opposite it. the landing gear is also very different looking to anything we have seen. it looks like it is a single leg that it is landing on. just my thoughts on that particular ship.

i do believe what you have titled as the weird ass thing, is an anvil starter ship. they supposedly want a starter ship from all manufacturers and this would put them one step closer

The ship that you all call "weird ass thing" is more than likely a Crusader starter ship. I believe it's based on the shuttles you see in Orison. Edit: The "Drake thing" may very well be a larger variant of the Misc Reliant ships? Maybe. Just....maybe..🤔

DIdn't they mention extraction at citcon? Wonder if the duckling is some sort of mineral extractor with that odd foot.

I'm so sad I couldn't make the discussion, but short notice didn't give me any time to to plan for it. Hopefully you can get things like this on a caladar for the future. Also, because they are basically big, fat Freelancers, I hereby dub the new large MISC ships as the "Fatlancer".

Drake Rapier?

Could the Misc Fortune be both a salvager and a miner?

More frames less ships!

Between 45:57 - 45:58 the mystery barge, the rear starts coming in to focus. It looks to me as if there’s a large underside for holding cargo containers. The rear engines and gear kinda look more like aegis in a way? But my heart wants it to be a RAFT XL.

I don’t think 32:00 is a Gordon I think it’s another ship and it’s small than the guardian

14:50 might be a military refueler , I say this just because with base building coming out we need refueling vehicles or ships

12:25 this vehicle is an all terrain explorer for sure the thing on the back is mud flaps. It has a size 1 turret that’s def what that is

Some crazy ideas, guys. Love it. My 15c: weird ass thing - I'm getting strong Trailblazer (SW Outlaws) vibes, and instead of a 'keel' I see a side opening, low-slung cargo hold. The headlights are totally Anvil. Drake thing - I'm starting to wonder if it's a dedicated BH vessel. It almost looks like a stairway on the back of the foot. I like it. Kind of Slave I-esque.

Good editing! Sorry we were so long winded, if we practice a couple more times I bet we can get it under an hour 😂

My take on the CSV-FM was that the 4scu was JUST for construction materials, not random cargo boxes. John mentioned a “mini freight elevator” and that you fed it materials for the drones to use. The SM then carries a further 4 scu for when FM is empty.

The Drake ship with the weird landing gear makes me think that it has resource extractors in it's gear like the Pioneer does so maybe it is a crafter/extractor but not a base builder, there was a mention of a concept Drake crafting ship in the files a few years ago during AIE when the Cutter was released that was later taken out so maybe this was it.

Stability over features when it comes to major core tech. We don't need a repeat of 3.18. Trim all the fat, get a solid foundation, then add things in with point patches at a reasonable pace.

Glad some people see things for what they are; Saltymike had a similar point of view, which is good. Unfortunately there's a sizable amount of people complaining about engineering being pushed back even though these same people have been complaining to no end about CIG needing to focus on stability, and now that they're doing it they are complaining that CIG is waylaying content. Some people will just never be happy regardless.

I obviously understand not dropping Pyro, Server meshing, AND engineering in the same patch. And I obviously understand that meshing and Pyro will appeal to more people than engineering. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it 😢

Happy Halloween! I agree with you, I'm glad they split off engineering and fire propagation and everything else to a later patch. Pyro and server meshing was big enough that it will give them a lot of work to get it online and working by the end of the year.

Happy Halloween 🎃

I share your concern around the big org dominance potential, but I would expect them to be disadvantaged by membership availability and server capability. I'm actually more concerned about org alliances/pacts. As far as small orgs go, I think all those asteroid fields and far flung territories are going to be a godsend for small orgs to carve out their own unique destinies.

I was disappointed when we heard only 5 systems on release. I was hoping closer to 10, when Chris first said we would only get 5-10 on release and add from there. I feel they could have made better progress on that if they weren't planning PoIs within every 100km on planets. Many planets should be bare in some regions as they were only somewhat recently terraformed. It is starting to feel more like an FPS shooter than space sim. I like the crafting, base building and blueprint research direction as I felt the game really was lacking meaningful progression. This should hold long term interest. I hope to see a more detailed roadmap that includes the next versions of the incomplete careers and ships that still need work before a 1.0. Even salvaging and mining have some work that needs done and they are the farthest along. I was glad to hear Terra was including in the first five systems. It is going to be an interesting next couple of years. I just hope server meshing gets in and tuned soon, so all these other things can move forward with less rework.

Happy Dragon Age day ... I mean Halloween!

I want my own quarters, communal room pissed me off lol I hope it changes

Oh he tapped that alright!

Thanks mate!

Dawnstealer, if you watched citizencon 2954. You can see a new Drake ship. It looks like a cross between cutter and Corsair. Thought my friend?

The org stuff (for me) was very underwhelming until they teased that I might be able to have a shirt with the org logo. That got my attention. The clothing made me nervous. While there are no classes, the clothing really kinda made it seem like min/maxing into defacto classes, and I hate the idea of pilots wear "this suit" and fighters wear "that" suit to be competitive. The worm just seemed like a guild raid mechanic. Overall, I enjoyed this year's content. I'm really curious about the professions. I mean race fixer/fraud as a game loop? wth? lol Anyway, I always tell anyone that will listen and the cats, it's all theorycraft if the servers can't hang.

This CitCon was so dense, I forgot about Citizenship till a few days later.
