To be honest I was looking at ships the other day and this might be one ill get when I upgraded

Love this ship. That is all

Another great review! Love the cutlass. This was my first upgrade and maybe should have been my last...

They added storage. Love the Taurus but going with the Andromita since the turrets for all Connie’s got buffed and more hull Hp at the cost of cargo. Also for combat I’ll bring a Anvil Paladin If only it could carry some cargo 😢

Hey, you are supposed to avoid those pillars in the wormhole.

I love how it looks and flies but sadly, none of the features you showcased work for me. Like armour and weapon storage and the tractor beam. I upgraded from the base freelancer because that ship's features had depreciated so much I found it frustrating. Strangely many other players i spoke to in the verse claimed that all of their C1's features worked flawlessly which just adds extra frustration. I don't know if these players are just trolling lol

I love the spirit and fly it all the time and if it comes to that red line when you open the ramp its a bug it worked well when the C1 was released , its patched in 4.0 so no worries this will be fixed soon :) overall i highly recommand this beautifull ship for every one

Not expecting mad engagement on this video. Just felt like i was obliged to record it 😅

Going to be interesting to see how ships fare jumping around pyro. It's supposed to be huge

That's crazyy😅😅

This looks so good! Going to have to jump in later

Onboard Lockers work now in the PTU. Supposedly 5 SCU of onboard Cargo split between the 5 Lockers! :) Love the Taurus.. This is the single Player Polaris! If they take that away from us... We will REVOLT! :) Stand Strong Taurus Brothers!

Best ship in the verse with the Cutlass black, but will be nerfed hard sooner or later.

If we could customize cockpit colours I would consider it a lot more seriously but I really do not like the current RSI cockpit colours so could not get used to this ship. Bounced around between Zeus, C1 and Freelancer Max. Ended up settling on C1.

*If* they nerf the guns, they better increase the cargo grid by 1.5x or 2x, and make the internal layout make some sense. If it excels at cargo (for its size), it's not a "nerf" but rather a "specialization". I woudn't mind that too much, but many would. The Connie is simply one of the go-to multirole ships, and it would lose that multirole. And I honestly wouldn't know which ship in its size bracket for 1-3 players would then qualify as the premier multi-crew multi-role ship, that is still soloable.

I had a CL and was really hyped for it. I tried it, and it felt allright, but I had some things that put me off: 1. The unergonomic cargo grid & tractor beam. This is supposed to be the selling point, but if you do cargo (I hate to say it) get a Freelancer or Starlancer MAX. 2. Anemic weapons. I did save Stanton Phase 1 and 2 with it, and it was ok. But it's not a Vanguard or Hurricane for sure. Also, the missile payload could be twice as big, not gonna lie. 3. The Gs just aren't there. It's better than the Starlancer MAX, but that is whole different size class. 4. I don't know if it's just me or if it was a bug, but I had a constant attling noise in the cockpit, and it drove me insane. Never had that with any other ship. I still got a Zeus Mk2 MR, but I might melt or upgrade it later. I really love the style, and the interior has one of the beast layouts I've seen, but I expected .... more.

Just like most players, I upgraded my C1 to the Teus CL. At first I was a bit disapointed because the lack of manueverabillity and the weired cargogrid. Because it is not able to carry a URSA, I somehow started comparing it with the Freelance MAX. But after flying the Freelancer, and trying out the Starlancer as well, I am more than happy with the Zeus CL now. Is it a improvement to the C1? Maybe not but I dont regret my decission.

Yes it is.

If they improve the Zeus models when it comes to manoeuvrability.. I may be interested in the MR. As of now.. CL/ES flight test runs.. I rather fly a brick.. even if it looks like Elite Dangerous Corvette which is a beautiful ship... actually.. wait.. looks like Krait MK2 my former daily flyer in ED.. Hmmm...

I just got a c1 over the Zeus because I want it for bounty hunting as well. I can do ert with c1, but didn’t think the zues could.

I really like the Zeus. I upgraded from a Cutlass to the Zeus Mk II CL, and it is now my favorite daily driver. Although it lacks a bit of firepower compared with a Cutlass, it does make up for it with its triple Size 2 shield generators. You feel much safer during combat than with the Cutty. So far I didn’t lose huge parts of the ship when hit. With the Cutlass Black, losing parts of your wings where your weapons are mounted was a semi-regular occurrence. The only thing my Zeus has lost during combat were the small side wings, which did not affect performance. The aesthetics of the Zeus Mk II are highly pleasing to me. I like the triangle shape and the overall layout. It feels clean and efficient. The cockpit has a really good view forward and the MFD and HUD positions do not interfere with each other (Looking at you, Constellation!). The cargo hold can be a bit tricky to fill up to its full potential, but for a ship with a footprint this small, you can fit in a lot of stuff. I did not have huge issues with loading the cargo hold after having watched some videos about it. The trick is to either not stuff it to the fullest when using the cargo grid, or to just ignore the grid and load it up. I think I got close to 140 SCU in it when not using the cargo grid. The ladder behind the cockpit and the airlock offer convenient alternate modes of entry and exit to the ship and are being used regularly, especially when the cargo hold is full. The beds are actually working, I did not have issues with logging off from there. Flight performance is a not as responsive as with a Cutlass, but seems to be on par with the C1 Spirit and the Freelancer series. Although it has the same yaw / pitch / roll rates, it feels more responsive than a Constellation. Atmospheric performance is decent for a medium sized multi mission ship compared to in space performance due to its aerodynamic frame. It could have a bit more firepower, but sustainability in combat is good due to its ample shield generators. The other Zeus even has four shield generators! Overall, a very nice successor to my Cutlass. It allows me to fly different missions without the need to change vessels or loadout.

Ever since the MSR came in the game ballooned up like it was on a daily 5k calorie Sumo diet for the entire time it was in dev, I just can't unsee the Crusader "style" bloat..... The giant fat wings, and big swoopy bodies, plus the exaggerated engines bug me bad before I even get in the thing to be bugged by all the INTERIOR doors... Four, five, or more doors and only one goes in and out? Really? Then the Zeus came out and proved that ships didn't need to be so huge, that they could fit everything they needed (including extra ways to get in/out Ha!) in a similar role ship at maybe 2/3 the volume. And CIG is sneaking supposedly alien "air shields" in all over, probably to avoid all the "what about depressurization" questions or having to go back to add a couple doors in everything (EXCEPT Crusader lol). On the Intrepid, a ONE person ship, they managed to get three interior doors (plus a bathroom door) and two more inside cargo doors.. 🤣 MSR is long gone and won't be back, but I still have a Spirit A1 (strictly for the medium-ish bomber role) and an E1 upgrade maybe depending on how it's comes out role-wise. There's also a Hercules M2 still hanging around (as a upgunned transport), but with the Ironclads coming who knows. I'm pretty sure that I'll drop all the pudgy Crusader spacecows one by one, as soon as there's any not spacecow option to do the same job. 🍻

Have you tried the ES? I'd be curious to know your thoughts on it. Thanks anyway.

Mr. Chicken, Thank you for the Headphone warning before your video music introduction. I couldn't hear anything you said in your video because I had to turn my sound down so low it was muted...

You can fit anouther 32 SCU down the middle Isle in the cargo bay. It blocks ingress/egress, so loading with the on-board tractor beam is necessary. The ATLS will also fit in hte space between the rear blast door and the ramp, but in the few times that I have tried, I have not reached my destination with the ATLS. Four Rookie small load missions can gross 40-50K payout for less than 64 SCU hauled in many cases, and much of the time I have little difficulty getting matching origin and destination for all four missions.

thank you for taking in my feedback from last video, the mic is much much more clean now! I like this ship, used it for couple of weeks because i feel in love with its internals but also the cockpit fov, its one of the best cockpits out there in regards to see where you going where you landing etc. but unfortunately i had to upgrade it to starlancer, you know big cargo numbers make brain go brrrr lol anyway keep up the good work my dude! gg!

Good video dude I have both the c1 and the zeus cl in my fleet but find myself mainly taking out the c1 for its versatility unless I need a medium sized cargo run doing. Agree this is not a direct upgrade from the c1 at all except for the interior and cargo cap

Great review man. I was hyped for the zeus originally but also hear some complaints and swerved it at the time. Might be worth taking another look 🤔

Star Chickenzen is back!

I'm fairly confident I've missed out a lot of information in this review but I wanted to try and keep it fairly brief and highlight my favourite and most disliked points of this ship. When I first got the Zeus I really disliked it, but now revisiting it I'm not sure why I disliked it so much back then! 😅 Much love to you all for watching ❤

You said the C1 managed to teach you how much you enjoy cargo hauling as a whole, couldn't agree more, it really felt the same for myself. What have you switched to as your main for the "jobby" (Hobby job) after the C1? I've been finding myself in a bit of a rut trying to figure out which ship to use

The only ship that they have not nerfed into the ground so far, because its chris robberts favorite ship. Definitely the best allrounder and daily driver. Has only strengths and no real weaknesses. Does everything better than all other ships in this class and all competitors. Thats the balancing of Star Citizen. The drake corsair is slower, has less cargo, much less HP, is less manouverable, has less missles, has no tractor beam and the only thing that it had that was more pilot guns. So they nerfed it. Now its 100% worse in every aspect compared to the taurus that even costs much less. This is probably the only ship you should ever buy in Star Citizen because its chris robberts favorite, they wont nerf it most likely. But it absolutely should have it guns nerfed. as a cargo ship it should not have the most firepower in this size class, even ships one size higher have less.

I like Taurus but feel like it needs more storage, The very back of ship is just unused space let me put stuff in there and attach it.

My fleet is rather large at this point and I’m still in the c1 90% of the time. Thought I wanted the zues. Lived with about a week and melted it back down to get the c1 again. It’s the perfect solo jack of all trades for me.

Any word when E1 will be in game? I thought it’d be in by now. Think E1 will make a good, reasonably low claim time, personal taxi for someone with a few large ships? I was thinking Zeus ST, but haven’t seen any mention of it since that picture they showed with 4 Zeuses, when Zeus was first announced.

For me, the Zeus killed the interior of this ship. The performance and looks are still there for the Spirit, but the Zeus showed that I was wrong with my original thought: "the Spirit manages its interior space better than other ships, using every inch of space available." With virtually the same interior layout of the Spirit, the Zeus utilized the middle sides to include 2 additional entry points and full-sized bedroom and kitchen instead of the Spirit's layout where they're all compacted into a small tube. The Spirit will still be one of my favorites, but even more so if the Zeus didn't exist. Now, this opinion can change entirely and I might even like the Spirit over the Zeus if they'd add that side entrance to the Spirit. You don't really need all 3 exit points and I'm okay with settling for the smaller kitchen and beds.

Just melted my c1 spirit for a constellation Taurus. 90% of the time I’m doing cargo hauling and the extra space was needed. However the Taurus is noticeably slower compared to the c1 obviously. Getting out of atmosphere is a bit of a hassle in the Taurus but other than that i have not regretted the change. Still loved the c1 just needed more space

this was a good review. Can you do the Zeus MK II ES and CL and also the newly added started Intrepid.

Did this ship have less pilot controlled firepower than the Cutlass at launch? Or was the difference always just the turret on the Cutty and huge wingspan on the C1? I bought the ship just to get the BIS skin for IAE and then melt it and I like it. It's really just the one entrance that hurts and maybe they did that intestinally to keep us from filling up the center row with cargo. 😆 I haven't used the Zeus CL or Freelancer Max enough to really make a comparison... Obviously the Zeus starting to separate itself in terms of price by more than a little too.

C! how a size like a large ship not a medium and just 1 m shild i like Freelancer

Should I get this C1 Spirit or a Zeus CL as my only pledge ship?

Still my favorite. It is nimble,fast, stealthy, hits hard and fits in most places. Only flaw is the lack of a second entrance near the front, the did two for the Zeus. A little ladder that comes in to the component section would work great and not hurt anything.

How load can the speakers go

What annoys me about the interior is that the component room is directly in front of the cargo hold, it should have been placed near the bridge, then a second s2 shield would be mandatory because the ship is much larger than a cutlass black or freelancer (which even has 3xs2 shields). and last but not least, a ladder like on the zeus mk2 could have been installed. then you could also pack three 32 scu containers inside. all in all, it's a great ship and i still enjoy flying it today. i swapped the lasers for 4x attrition 3 and the s3 missiles for s2 modules. what many people overlook is the hull hp which is pretty decent, plus it still flies quite passably when an engine is hit. if you lose one in the cutty, the fight is over because it's almost incapable of maneuvering.

Welcome to RSI citizen o7 .Gotta love RSI ships. Best ships in the game. I upgraded my Taurus iv had for years to a Perseus.

Heard a lot of good things about this ship. Nice to find a review on a ship where someone has spent time with it and not just walking through. Might be one to add to my small collection

Still one my favourite ships in my fleet right now! It has flaws like all ships do but its great to see someone giving it some love!

Still trying to work out the best way to put these videos together as well as trying not to cringe hearing my own voice 😅 Hopefully these will get even better as time goes on. Thanks for sticking with me ❤

Answer: NO. It's Great!
