- Who's The Next Ship Manufacturer CIG Will Work On?
.
The motto of #BillionaireNinjas is “Talk is Cheap, Ninjas Leap.”
.
In this one we try to use what we know about the game to try to deduce which ship manufacturer will be the next major focus for CIG after they complete their run on RSI. We have three major contenders but... I think the choice is actually quite obvious.
.
Welcome to our Space Theory series we take speculation to the next level using our imagination...and hopefully some educated guesses.

Anvil is most likely next, since the Carrack still need to have a way to open its cargo bay for large boxes.
@@myaul8157 Yes, whether people realise it or not, the flagship “wow” ship in Star Citizen has always been the Carrack since it was released, not the 890J. Therefore for it to be increasingly dated and not have basics like cargo working properly anymore is detrimental to the whole game imo. It won BIS two years for good reason, and needs updates.
Please release the Kraken! =)
My money is on Drake. I know the Corsair is in the works for some upgrades.
Boarding. Once they start releasing capitol ships, I wouldn't be surprised if they took "shoot the door" out of the options for boarding. Otherwise, a swarm of Pulses are going to be the primary boarding vessels. I could see them lock things down until they have the hacking game worked out. Which is a much heavier lift than anything else right now. And would mean ships that need hacking in order to work aren't worth working on now. Except the Herald which will have other uses.
Why would the prioritise the nearly brand new Corsair when so many other ships like the Valkyrie and many others in the Anvil line up are far more out of date? Don’t get that, Drake have a load of new ships, it’s really the Caterpillar that is desperately outdated and needs a total rework.
@@Libertas_P77 My understanding is that the Corsair isn't getting a rework as much as a Gold Pass. Since it's newer, there are less "major" things that need to be updated.
You are correct in that the Cat needs the most work. Which is why I'm betting on Drake as next. The work they have supposedly pretty much already completed with the Corsair and the modularity they've just proven out with the Retaliator sets them up nicely to focus and tackle the Cat and the Krak.
Another advantage to going with Drake next is if they have to go with jenky and slapped-together looks to get these working, no one is going to say anything. They'll just shrug and say "Yep, that's Drake."
Drake has almost every type of ship in the game with every functionality implemented or to be implemented. With the upcoming Ironclad and its hangar doors, repair bay detachment/interconnectivity with the Caterpillar. Drake has everything they need to solidify gameplay around them. Mining is about the only thing I can think of that Drake does not have directly.
give me my Liberator CIG AHHHHHH
A Liberator would be so nice...but I suspect Drake.
@@vik12D I'll take the liberator or ironclad I'm sure at least one if not both are not gonna be long after the RSI push
GIMME SUPER LIBERATOR EXTENDED CARRIER
As far as the reworks on the Connie, I think they should try to do what the Phoenix has on all of them to a degree by putting a partial second floor above the cargo area as a crew and living space. Doesn't have to be super big or luxurious but it'd be nice to give it more room for actual amenities instead of having crew space be a handful of bunks and a folding table. There's no food prep area or recreation and that'd go a long way toward making those feel more welcoming and livable.
Edit: I paused the video to type that up, then almost immediately after i hit enter you mentioned that. Great minds think alike eh?
stuff like amenities on ships should be the very last thing added. They need to get so much done that should take priority. Server stability should be top of the list to work on cause server meshing is not going to fix the server issues. The random blowing up or bugged ramps/lifts is a huge issue where people can't even enter their ship. As much as I like the taurus the table not popping out of the ground does not bother me as much as when the lift or cargo ramp doesn't open. Just last night I was landing on a planet and boom my ship decided to randomly blow up upon landing and ship disappeared and my body ended up almost 1km away from where I landed in a body of water. Whatever is causing ships to blow up for no reason needs to be fixed. The issue with not being able to drive vehicles into cargo bays of ships also needs to be fixed. Can't count how many vehicles/ships I have lost or buddies have lost cause of simply trying to drive a vehicle into or off of a ship. Heck I wish they would fix the ship tractor beams before they get to amenities because you can't even see your cargo bay with the tractor beam defeating the whole point of a ship having a tractor beam to help load cargo.
I’ve always thought this as well; especially with the Aquila. The Taurus is actually fine to just be a big cargo bay; but the Aquila should have an “exploration” level; rooms sure; but tables with exploration/science stuff; specimen containment; and a “suit up” room adjacent to the ursa lift
To be honest , we really need carrier ships. With Pyro coming in soon. Carrier ships are going to be needed. And the only thing we have is a snub fighter carrier ship. Cat with Fury's and what ever can be carried on a 890 or Carrack and the Polaris when it drops. Rearm and repair modules would be cool for the Cat, for the Fury's
All ima say is gib me my bmm
Origin is my favourite, and I'd love it if they were next. The 890 is so old that it doesn't support paints. And there's a lot of players in the Yacht Club that would love to customize their flag ships. The 600i has had initial concept work done on its Rework, and a lot of its paints have broken canopies that turn clear when the paint is applied. The 300 series was broken by the Customizer to make it an awesome ship... that plays hell with the backend. Which is apparently a big part of why it doesn't have paints yet. The 100 series is still incomplete, the bed is supposed to fold up, but really, it should slide up to be a rear passenger seat and table, like the Cutter Rambler's jump seat. The m50 is a great racer that is sadly lacking in paints, and is still using a very old model. It might even be of similar age to the original 300 series body. The 85x is also very basic, with no paints at all yet and horrible canopy glare if you're flying in anything other than bright daylight. And then there's the G12. Coming Soon™.
But I suspect that the massive amount of work that the 300 series needs to fix the Customizer without breaking it, and the massive undertaking that is the 600i Rework, to say nothing of the 890 jump... I don't see it happening.
Crusader is my second favourite, but I think it's also unlikely. There's a rumoured starter ship coming. The E1 and the Genesis are yet to be released, but relying on Tech that's not ready. The Mercury could use some loving, but works well enough for what it is. The Ares are both disappointments at the moment. And the Hercules are basically all good... though... I wouldn't say no to landing gear that saves us from faceplanting.
Team Drake!!🎉
I am hoping for MISC, they're already pretty far along, so they could finish that quite fast to then move to some other manufacturer that'll take more time to flesh out
* Though I can agree with you on Anvil, I think MISC might be in the second or even the next one to be done. MISC (and along with that, Marai) have a huge amount of rework ships to be done. On top of that, you have all the Hull series to come out. They have far more ships in the wings than Anvil does. Anvil only has three whereas even Drake has four but MISC has six ships waiting to be made.
* The Legionnaire was also shown in that sneak peek of ships this year. Another point towards Anvil.
I think your logic is sound here. I think the gameplay loops favor Anvil a bit more though with repair and putting more starter ships in the game for incoming players
Yay theorycrafting! MISC could definitely be next, given CIG has made the Hull C recently so the "gains" they speak of should be available for finishing out the MISC line, including reworking the Freelancer and Starfarer series. The starfarer also *needs* to work for Pyro, it's bigger with less gas stations so player refuelling gameplay needs to be a thing.
Its gotta be Drake, Mirai/Misc, or hell... Maybe even more RSI... But I'd love more Crusader, Argo, and Aegis/Anvil.
I dont see them doing any more large ships for a while. Thinking misc should be next. Most if not all of those need reworks, freelancers and starfarer especially. Starfarer gameplay will become essential for pyro, but needs a ton of work to get there.
I feel like the realistic answer is another RSI ship, but maybe CIG will publicly begin showcasing some work for a concept ship related to whatever gameplay loop is getting love next?
They are doing RSI as a whole now. This was mostly about which manufacturer they will do next.
@@billionaireninjasYeah for some reason I decided to comment that before watching the video lol. After watching through and re-watching now, I totally agree on Aegis being the most likely manufacturer to get focused on by CIG. The introduction of Pyro will make way for new game loops (data and refuel), and Aegis just has that in the bag. I also feel like Drake is supposed to play second-fiddle as a civilian/pirate focused manufacturer, so their stuff will come when it's ready, y'know? Then MISC and the others will pad and smooth things out when their time comes
I desperately want them to update the Freelancer series. I want the DUR pretty bad, but it looks outdated and gross. :( I'd like a pass for it to be more crisp and clean (inside and out) like the Hull A
If its Anvil, I'm interested in seeing what they do with the Crucible
My money is on Anvil too. We really need the Liberator and Crucible with Pyro and ship repair on the horizon. Close second for me is MISC, simply because of how many concept ships they have lined up and how outdated the current freelancer design has become. Congrats on the channel growth wealthy shinobi
What’s wrong with the Lancer? Right, nothing!
Ye but with crucible you need a whole gameloop for it to work
The Anvil Bee? For a starter ship idea. Just making giggles, thank you for the video
should just finish aegis.
they just need to finish idris and javelin for pu and use the assets for the nautilus.
also a lot of people forget that the manufacturer focus is on larger ships, not tiny ones.
You sure you're not biased? Your name is POLARIS Captain lol
Drake has almost every type of ship in the game with every functionality implemented or to be implemented. With the upcoming Ironclad and its hangar doors, repair bay detachment/interconnectivity with the Caterpillar. Drake has everything they need to solidify gameplay around them. Mining is about the only thing I can think of that Drake does not have directly.
After RSI would likely be Drake, and then it depends. If it's passenger gameplay, it's Crusader. If it's bounty, it's gonna be Anvil to round it out. If it's exploration and science, then maybe we'll see some medium-size ships for that profession coming from MISC.
I suspect anvil, because they probably want to train up the ship crew more, they can knock out the legionnaire and then probably do the liberator and update the carrack while at it.
Drake and Anvil do sound like good next candidates.
I'd genuinely like to see more Consolidated Outlands ships. I feel like that manufacturer has been ignored for a really really long time. I'm not worried about massive ships, the iron clad is just one massive cargo grid so I think that will actually come out years before BMM or Kraken etc.
Crusader starter ship will be soon regardless of what the next manufacturer they pick. The Crusader starter for 60ish dolors could make them a ton of cash.
I'd like the crusader starter ship to be a gas miner. Fits the theme of their home being on a gas giant and gives an entry to that game play loop.
@@Rhapses a gas miner would be interesting and I hope they do a ship like that but I do not think they will do that as a starter.
With the release of the IRONCLAD I think it's neck to neck between DRAKE and AEGIS. I'm leaning toward AEGIS myself.
I feel like they should focus on Aegis and Anvil.
Anvil: Lots of ships need a rework such as the Misc Freelancer
Aegis: Capital ships such as the Javelin and Idris need to be finished.
RSI should be completed soon. I can’t wait for the Apollo/Galaxy/Zeus.
CIG has already said that the legonair is fully complete but they are trying to figure out the boarding part of that ship.
But they would need to get the refinery ship gameplay in if they was gonna try to do repair too. If they’re wanting to give stuff a whole circle. Mining salvage then refining then repairing makes the most sense.
Good video, thank you
They should take a huge pause on those fighting and stupid pirate ships and game loop. Time to focus on pve and support related game loop. So many good game loops still to develop. Time for exploring, base building, repairing, refining, salvaging and much more pve loops.
No need for those fighting capitals without socials/corp gameplay. Give those pvper a king of the hill mode at there 6 month klesher vacation.
They are working on RSI currently
Yes. This is true.
I want a ship that would be impossible to crew like the Death Star.
Javelin
Anvil. It does not make sense to focus on pirates. Start the loops for none pvp then refine the pvp that will naturally come.
Logically it should be Anvil, then Drake. Both have lots of ‘assets’ that can be reused and clear design language, and a hefty backlog of ships to clear.
I think Drake because it has the most assets already and therefore easier to finish-off. Of course, Banu only has half a ship left to finish but I hope they introduce a mid-sized Banu first.
I hope they have some plans to open up carrack for cargo, and module support for more of the ships
Hope they choose to make a pass on the older ships.
Aegis is most likely though they might have to stretch RSI for another half a year to finish a few things. Wouldn't be a surprise if they moved towards modular ships already out. Since they implemented modularity they are prime to release a few more of those. Plus it requires very little ship building, so they can focus on gold passes and finish lines already in the works like zeus and the almost finished idris. Gold passes is an imperative now too, since engineering is around the corner.
I see big guns being the next major focus. It sells, plus it allows bigger events, which garners sales, because people need those big guns. Its the easy way out until they get mesh under control, which gives us larger servers, smarter AI, and better events. Refining will come once they have planet mining or large asteroid mining going, which will be just before bases. Bases will be after mesh 1.9. Mesh 1.1 will give us pyro, and engineering and VIP/Criminal escorting. Maelstrum will come soon after which will give us repair and workbench. Otherwise I imagine repair work would look like other games, and things would just magically fix! Repair will probably start small, guns and armor. Repair could come before though, no reason beyond esthetics.
Hangers is the contingent right now. Instance hangers to me appears like mesh 0.5. Instance hangers takes up server space, plus lets them test going from an instance, to populated universe in a very small and controlled manner multiple times in a server. After this instances for bunkers or overdrives to test npcs?
I get the feeling that CIG will be giving the Constellation ships their refresh just before the release of official launch, most likely changing it to be more in line with these current RSI ships, since it's never been a secret that they're the favorite of Chris Roberts.
oh and to add about the refining RMC ! i think that is a great idea :P
Anvil and Drake are likely going to happen next to each other simultaneously with different teams. They will both be focuses for 4.0 specifically because they both have carriers which will be needed for Pyro such as Drakes Kraken and Ironclads, and Anvils Liberator. Meanwhile we will see alien stuff trickle in with new teams or members just as we did with the Syulen.
That being said, you are 100% straight up wrong about the C8 not being Anvils starter. It absolutely is, was and is sold as such, and everyone treats it as such. Then Anvil ALSO has the most "professional starters" in the lowest possible price point with the C8R and Arrow.
Also doing new ships is 100% the reason stuff like CO, Kruger, and the Alien manufacturers will continue to have a drip of focus with new teams coming online
I've been really thinking about this for a while too. I think it depends on how they are going to go about this. If its by amount of ships in the backlog, its MISC. If its by gameplay its probably gonna be either Anvil or Drake. MISC is tough because most of the ships in the backlog are either just too big for the game or have zero gameplay ready.
pretty much all of the other manufacturers don't have enough to make a full year of ships. Unless they release a bunch of newer ships for their chosen manufacturer which isn't out of the realm of possibilities
Let’s go anvil let’s go!!! Flippin love the design style!
I want one because it's rare. No truer words have ever been spoken.
Im betting Drake. Id love a Liberstor instead.
selfish me would say Anvil so that they can give some love to the Carrack, Terrapin and maybe finally flesh out my dream jpeg, the Liberator !
I may Be The only One, but Im Hoping for the Odyssey , so MISC for me .😁Plus with The Cargo think being worked on now, the Hull Series Ships are going to be very Useful
i think its anvil then misc. they gotta give the carrack the love it deserves, and get the liberator out for pyro, then the odyssey and expanse from misc
I also agree MISC should also be considered. The Odyssey needs done as well as the Hulls.
My favourite would be Drake. I want ME KRAKEN!!! Consider also the Polaris and Idris are out. They need a “bad guy” capitol.
Also, when considering which will be made, I think the small ships, up to Zeus/Spirit/Vulcan/Freelancer etc etc aren’t considered by RSI as part of the groups to do next. They are primarily talking cap ships/large ships. The fact they have 7 in production now will continue how they do smaller ships. When they want is the main consideration. They come out as money needs to be made.
Drake is the one I’d bet on as the Ironclad and an as-yet unnamed larger rumoured “frigate” size ship are Kraken building blocks.
Thats my bet. Though I’d happily take a Liberator as well.
Vulcan is definitely coming, possibly for the IAE.
Drake for sure, they will start/started ironclad and smoothly can go to Kraken, as they said it's easier to do it after
I think they'll make the Railen for 3.24 cargo hauling.
I hope so because I'm a bit upset we didnt even get a tidbit of news on an alien ship in alien week.
My money is on Anvil but I hope for Drake. I’ll Star with drake first; Cargo is just getting it’s solid loop implemented and I can see them ironing out the iron clad (no pun intended) relatively fast with it. And if they were to finish the ironclads faster than what’s normal it would be a good tone shift from how development could go in terms of speed once meshing is done and 42 is not along. Plus the mechanics in the assault variant would be good to get done to implement in future ships to coincide with ground vehicles. Plus there’s the kraken as a carrier which would help iron out other carriers potentially like the liberator and the kraken privateer to look into how the BMMs sales side works because there’s supposed to be shops inside of the ship. In terms of features picking drake tackles a lot of the economy side of things as well as transportation carriers especially with pyro coming out as well as touching on ground vehicles. But it’s a close toss up to anvil because it too has a carrier as well as a repair ship which would be new. And with engineering it makes sense. With them embracing more of the soft death state and kinda keeping the ship alive/repairable. Giving a chance to repair ships with the crucible. So anvil deals with giving more depth to ships with repairs as well as also expanding on carriers. With modularity most of the devs that will work on that are tied up in server meshing.
How about multiple ships for industry such as:
Consolidated Outland, Origin Jumpworks, Gatac - Scrapper/Minner
MISC, my wager. YUGE economy updates need MISC massive movers.
They need to quit making new ship and fix all the old broken ships first
I know why they won't; I want a Pioneer starter ship😊
Anvil does sound like it would make sense
Really hoping it'll be Drake but my money is on MISC.
I want the f8a lightning after playing squadron 42… not that civilian model, ew. 😂
It will probably come stock with all ballistics and have all the size two weapons become size 3 weapons including the turret along with better armor.
MISC IMHO
I agree with others on here, it's gonna be drake. Especially with pyro on the horizon.
Since many ships wont be able to QT jump to other systems , I believe passenger transport ships will automatically have its game loop created by pilots moving people back and forth for 💰
Yes and I think they have to work on how to stop griefers from pretending to be passengers and then trying to steal your ship. Also AI has to learn how to act like a VIP and how to act like regular people to make sure you can get credit for who you are transporting.
@@billionaireninjas tbh we shouldn’t be able to walk around cities and spaceports with personal weapons now that we have the personal hangers to get a load-out and dip to space , so security check points are available and can be used to make sure passengers arent carrying weapons ,, also party markers should be off for all passengers so their orgs cant track and hijack the plane 🤣
Since they still need years for RSI, this really does not matter.
Banu Merchantman has to get finished, they promised to do it once their people have more experience.
i dont remember but the list CIG is hard to find but i think anvil was confirmed next and i think next is misc minus the endeavor this is the last ship to be playable but drake is 4th if i remember correctly they i think alien was third
I wish it was the Banu Souli...
I guess Drake or Aegis, Will be next on prduction
Just skipped misc, with the Odyssey, expanse, hull series, needed rework on freelancers and starfarers
As much as I'd like to see the Legionnaire in the near future, it needs hacking gameplay so I'm not holding out hope 😅
I'm going to go against the grain, it will be GATAC!
They strongly hinted its drake
Consolidated Outland has been badly ignored for a LONG TIME. Where's CO's Medium and/or Heavy Fighter ships? Oh that's right, there ISN"T ONE! Silas needs another TEDtalk to explain WTF he is doing and what the future of Consolidated Outland is...
ua-cam.com/video/olxI7X7eac8/v-deo.html
I hope they wont be too focused on one manufacturer, They should treat us with more ships from different reagions. After the polaris, theere will be a smaller team finishing the galaxy, persus, ....., because the shiips are siimilar. So I exspect they will free manpower and giive us some new suprises as well. (-;
I think when they primarily focus on one manufacturer, they still deliver a few ships from others along the way. We got the Aegis Sabre Firebird, and the Aegis Retaliator Gold Pass while they've been focused on RSI so I think they know they can't laser focus on only one.
@@billionaireninjas that is true, but i would be more interested in completly new idears around all manufaturers and dont focus too hard on one. It was smart with RSI, so they can finish the other models now faster,, due to similar assets, but it also suckt for all of us a bit. If we look back into the last months, perhaps even year... Then we got almost nothin,, but concepts and copies or similar models. I want less focus on one big seller. Perhaps givve us some smaller ships again,, for more jobs. Not everyybody will be liking the multicrew gamepplay and want to spend his money on something he can fly alone.. I dont know,, just a thought of me hhh I also know where you are going with your direction ;-)
I would say drake be next as they i tink they only have 2 ships in the pipeline? one is the new cargo ship * c2 killer for me at least and the kraken.. soo im guessing thats next and to be fair they could do them solo and other teams work on a bigger line up. most of the old shiips need a make over.. also drake owns the cat and that needs doing also ?
ill go with drake.. then prob fixing the betty would be nice.
I'm good with Anvil
The odyssey needs to come out because Pyro.
Give me my merchantman cig ahhhh!
Banu merchantman plz lol
Imagine if they made an actual game instead
I played for 4 hours last night if it wasnt a game was that a fever dream?
The Connie hasn’t been fixed yet this is bullsheeet
So the glaive needs to be as good as the f8c??
I think it should be the fastest and most maneuverable fighter in the game and leave everything else the same
Aegis lol most of the ships are almost done or well in the works other than like one
Give me the Carrack lol
Fix the 600i 😭
Drake, easy
