Kind of scary thought that you board the ship and there seems to be no one home and then you find out all the crew went to hiding in the suit lockers :P
At 8:50 What you're talking about is called Chromatic Aberration. It's a film effect that most people have turned off. But it can be turned on in the graphics settings even in our current live build. I personally hate it, lol. but if you like it, turn it on. In the PTU patch it's on by default with no ability to turn it off. That's why you're just now noticing it
@@echo5827 I do too. I think its great that they make it a setting. That way it isn't forced on people who don't like it, and folks like us get to enjoy it if we want.
Kink shaming bro, ehh you do realize that most people globally have something "not normal" 🙄 that they like. Honestly man, there are kinks that are much more crazy than a guy who likes to admire and play with his Gfs/wife's feet. Fetishes have been around for centuries No foot fetish shaming here pal.
The chromatic aberration is being worked on and its all jacked up in the PTU so that CRT effect you mentioned in game will be fixed. Great video as always.
3 місяці тому
wow, chromatic abberation on UI elements, and especially text is a new kind of... not smart!
Its not intended. The CA is being worked on currently. So its in flux during PTU. CA has been on UI and text in the game for years. The entire graphic engine is still being worked on.
Yeah,they're good but, when you're filling the sink with hot water and you also really need to fill the kettle for your cup of tea fix... a dilemma. Lol
@@KA317S so why are you watching the video if you have a problem with it? So this guy likes the game whats wrong with that? How is he shilling explain yourself.
the reason it doesnt have the fuel window is that the ES has ++ fuel tanks and ++ shields. thats the ES parting piece. the two ships have different components.
Love the cockpit view! I started out making (some decent) money when I started ROC mining back in 3.15... Since then it's lost its charm, but this view in the Zeus just screams low level flying to me! So looking forward when I can buy it in game and go back to my 'roots' of ROC mining.
Running up the Zeus in the XL Hanger really starts to give a sense of the scale of things in Star Citizen. It starts out as a tiny spec, then you get to the ship and switch to 3rd person and the entire thing is above your head.
i realy think this stupidly big hangar ruins the first impression of this ship. ya i get it, its your "home" hangar... but that does not mean you have to be there at all times...
Thanks for the video, as always, Olli! I have to say my first impression is the Zeus looks a little ... small ... on the inside. I have a Corsair (love that 'pirate setting sail' feel) and it's quite spacious, inspite of being nerfed. I was hoping this gem would be my new daily driver (and it may be after I fly it a bit). But compared to the 'Drake Mess Hall' feel, this looks all business and just a little ... small. Again, thanks for this and all your vids! Love them, even if I don't comment enough!
I really like that cargo loading arm. I really wish the Caterpillar had something better for loading and unloading.. Currently it feels like I have to set stuff down on the ground then have someone else move it with the ship or pick it up and load it my self after the ship tractor beam brings it closer. If you try to load it with just the beam you cant really see what your doing and with no good way to load the new mech into the cat it feels like a bit more table then its worth to run without a full crew.
I'm so ready for working suit lockers. Hopefully it will just hot-swap whatever clothing you're wearing for whatever armor is in the suit locker and vice-versa.
Beautiful. The only thing I can think of improving are the thrusters that supposedly lift the ship to a hover. It would be much more like flying if they were bigger and occasionally had alternative control thrusters fire off to keep its location.
god watching your videos makes me sad because i can't play yet, the views and gameplay is such an amazing thing to see and i love the way your videos portray the game
I'll definitely be melting my Conny Taurus for the Zeus CL. Maybe once they fix the everything on the Conny I'll buy it back but until then losing a bit of cargo capacity for a properly functional tractor beam, a sensible living space with proper lockers and a docking ring? Yes, please!
I feel it needs spotlights at each of the three entrances. And fold up ones above the canopy. And I've been told the side airlock will only open when docked, to avoid depressurising the whole ship.
I have the zeus MR, I'll have to say I'm keeping my C1 over the zeus cl especially after seeing how the cargo shit plays out. good luck loading/unloading that zeus with that tiny asshole of a door lol
Nah, tactical Dorito not my thing but I like where CIG is going with their details and overall design language. I want a gold pass on my Connie dammit! lol o7
I use to watch Ollie awhile ago about 8 years or so ago and I loved watching his videos but I do miss every start of a video he would say good morning/afternoon you beautiful beautiful people but did miss the voice to love the content keep it up
this ship is simply gorgeous, it reminds me of a really really scaled down SSV Normandy SR1. and i could actually see myself living in a ship like this if it was real. i adore the attention to detail. i actually prefer the first one, the tractor beam turret arm and extra cargo space is cool and all but i value more open liveable and totally useless space more. also, the emergency exit in the suit racks are because in older updates, you could imprison people by locking them in cupboards. now, you can't
"What i like is it has lots of Clerance" -- That... is the biggest reason why i melted the Corsiar i had for a short while.... it has no shins or even ankles.. it has only feet. Which makes it a breeze to get things in and out of, but makes it a pain in the arse to find something smooth enough to land at.
one little awesome update on the ES/CL/MR would be if the screens where tilted a little bit towards the pilot, that would make alot of sence to have it like that way, not alot just like tiny bit oun the side furthest away from the pilot mor inline with the pilots head/eyes. on each side. Just my OCD screaming now, but i`ll be fiiine
One thing I noticed is that we lost the big weapon slot in the CL's weapon rack. That's a big minus in my opinion. Its so great to have dedicated slot for bigger weapons like rail guns and missile launchers in the actual weapon rack. Also its a kind of bummer the weapons rack is in the cargo space. Kind of scary to think about the boarding action with this ship when ppl come in from the back and all your bigger weapons are all the way back there. At the moment its not a problem since you can fly the ship with the back pack and huge ass LMG and sniper rifles on it. But in future they might limit that possibility, so you actually need to place your long guns in the rack every time you hop into pilot/copilot's seat. Also you forgot to show us the ladder game play in this ship.
@@K3S01L2 one less shield and only half the fuel. maybe weaker radar/scanners, thats not clear yet. i go for the MR variant whenever they want to add bounty hunting. for cargo, the freelancer max is still more practical.
@@FalconDS9 Ya I take MR too, but its not coming out yet so for now I ho with the cargo variant and melt it for the MR when time comes. Even though that exploration version has more shields and radars etc. It still has same firepower. So its not that much better in combat. And that ship is for me medium daily driver. Small one is 325 and bigger one is connie.
It's a nice little shuttle, but it's obviously just another small ship pumped out to pad the store with "new" ships and drive sales. CIG really need to stat working their backlog.
i know, presenting this ship in that way too big hangar is misleading but this is a medium size ship. one of the biggest you will be able to fly solo, without much trouble. if you want a small shuttle, have a look at the Pisces.
That is a pretty cool ship! I have given StarCitezen so much shit because of how its been, but lately, they seem to be getting their shit together. The game is running far better. The mechanics are working as intended. They have a lot to do in the world other than just cargo missions. Its really starting to turn into a cool game! I might have to pickup a new ship as I still have my crappy starter one from 20 whatever it was, early days... Cheers!
That comment about having the ladder on the side really messed with me. I feel like them not having done that is such a wasted opportunity. Both for saving internal space and for aesthetics.
The impression I get from the many videos is that this is beautiful ship that is lovely to be inside and fly around in but...after you get out of the honeymoon period and start using it for real work, it is not actually as useful as you would hope. Firstly the CL. It will technically carry 128scu but, unless you pay for autoloading, it is nightmare to get that much cargo in. The first 64 goes in easily but then you are down to trying to slide 1scu and 2scu and 4scu crates into spaces barely wide enough for a 1scu crate. When complete, the rear is totally blocked like a brick wall and is actually wider than the width of the door so you will be trying to put crates in and move them sideways. This makes it very hard to load and even harder to unload as there is no wriggle room at all. Most people are going to end up carrying less than 128scu because it is not worth the time taken to load 22 crates (56 crates if you want to do it faster). Meanwhile you can put 96scu in a faster & more agile Spirit C1 with 3 crates, or 6 if your destination wont take 32scu crates. Secondly the ES is equally beautiful but what can it do better than its completion with its 32scu of cargo and not terribly impressive firepower? It is almost as pointless as the 400i except that the 400i carries a bit more cargo and has two turrets. I thought maybe it might replace my Corsair but then I would lose the ability to carry an Ursa or 72scu of cargo and it is only marginally faster or agile except in Roll. I love the Zeus ladder and Airlock but the Corsair also has an airlock plus that elevator to the roof. Maybe later it will benefit from a better scanning suite though. I want to buy a Zeus but I am struggling to justify it. Perhaps it can replace my MSR if I still have a Corsair to carry an Ursa as the MSR is now also very difficult to get fully loaded.
For me, it fills the role the Freelancer had, or the role I wish the Terrapin could have had. Durable, single-crewman-capable daily driver. It's not going to beat fighters in pvp, its not going to net you the higher value bounties, but its going to let you do cargo, ground missions and low to mid risk bounties and other non-specific missions. Ultimately I'll want to cruise around in a low-crew requirement carrier of some sort so I can sortie in a fighter for bounties while using the carrier as a mobile base, but the Zeus has just enough to be worthwhile using, with a design that somehow feels comfier than the 400i and shields for days. 4 medium shields and 2 size 4 pewpews is nothing to sneeze at, after all.
I just wish the floor turret would slave to the pilot when alone. Like the reliant. But then again those size 4s have a LOT of ammo, so it’s still not lacking.
@@MrMcbear at this point, so close to the release, impound is a waste as money spent there is not going towards CIG nor to ones rank. Once 3.24.2 hit's live, the Zeus MK2 (CL & ES) will be available, even before IAE (hopium they don't release 3.24.2 on the day IAE starts)
@@GroovingDrums IAE is end of november, 3.24.2 will be releasing, as my best guess within 10 days give or take, to hit life just before, during or after citcon
LOL the excitement over single faucet sinks is such a British thing! Here in the US, thats just _a sink._ Im sure the developers were like, "lets put a sink here" and werent thinking about anything like "its gonna be high tech cause it only has 1 faucet" because thats the norm in America.
I love the concept of the game but it has such frivolous art that it breaks my immersion, the ships have impressive aerodynamic shapes when they float in the atmosphere as if they were a helium balloon without gravity, beautiful lights everywhere, full of unnecessary aesthetics and "light-energy" expenses in a more realistic situation, lights on the floor... inside the engines... outside on the roof lighting up the spoilers... wtf The game is about looking good, they look like tourist ships, a shame :/
“Ha ha ha. You’ll never catch me!”

The good thing about the Zeus MK II is, that it can also be steered from both copilot seats !
MSR crying in the corner wondering why it has been forsaken.
That's good to know!
i think its a bug since it rips away all control from the main seat, and you also have a chance to instantly get rid of your quantum fuel
@@ATigerShark i swear i have piloted the msr thru the co seat

@@KA317S so why are you watching the video if you have a problem with it? So this guy likes the game whats wrong with that? How is he shilling explain yourself.
The Zeus has that Carrack cockpit feel/look to it, so it makes a really good pairing. A daily driver Zeus and Carrack multi crew
i really like how you can see the missiles underneath the copilot seats
the reason it doesnt have the fuel window is that the ES has ++ fuel tanks and ++ shields. thats the ES parting piece. the two ships have different components.
Seeing this makes me more exited for the Polaris
RSI is definitely the development favorite, the Polaris and Perseus seem like they're going to hit very very hard for their sizes
Cargo ramp needs to be a bit wider.
I kinda wish the cockpit was pilot and co-pilot; no third seat.
Very nice ship otherwise.
i havent played SC in about 3 years. i think its time to revisit
After this patch drops in the PU.
Absolutely.
6:11 that’s like those latches in trunks where if you get kidnapped you can open it from the inside
I feel like all ship reviews should begin like this with the lift coming up, fire.
Also so hype for my ZMK2 ❤

It’s been shown you can get two ROCs in the back of a CL with a bit of room to spare, so ideal ship if you’ve got a mate 😊👍
This Arm-thing, in bigger, longer, the Caterpillar needs this. Desperately!
Star Citizen peaks every time they add a feature that actually works and makes sense from an immersion AND gameplay perspective

Digging the glass panels on components and shelves - display the features when not in use and keep the items in the shelf in 0g.
It’s a great design. If this is the future of their design and layouts, it’s looking good!
First ship by the montreal tema, really excited to see what they work on next.
looks like it also might have some good atmospheric flight characteristics whenever they get around to working those in.
Nah, tactical Dorito not my thing but I like where CIG is going with their details and overall design language. I want a gold pass on my Connie dammit! lol o7
This is the smallest ship that looks livable. It has my name all over it :)

I enjoy watching you play Star Citizen , I Need to get this game.

Loving the Zeus and the new MFCs/HUD. I wasn't sure about the new MFD/HUD, but after using it, I really like it.
such pretty ships. Can't wait for the MR to come out
A brit being against two taps is hilarious
If we ever get to full dive vr, Star Citizen would be crazy!
Smaller than I thought I'd be, want it even more!
Bought the MR last november. Been one hell of a wait. Almost there.
I don't have pc now but this game gives me motivation to get one 🙂.
Wow walking around inside of your ship and actually boarding it? Must be nice... must be nice
You can also fly the ship from both copilot and gunner seats.
Can those shelves actually hold items? Ive tried similar shelving and the collisions are solid so nothing sits in there
olli what do you use to edit?
The CL was supposed to have two tractor beams so where is the second one? Is that the remote turret on the bottom?
I love the Zeus bought the CL and checkt it out yesterday.
It has great Potential to replace the C1 as my new Daily
LETS GOOOOOOOOO Zeus Mark II!!!
Kind of miss that interior window with the CL. Also interesting that the copilot can apparently pilot the ship this time.
How many remote turrets on the ES? I know the CL has the one on bottom, and the tractor beam.
just one. if you want 2 remote turrets, you need the MR variant (soon-tm)

You are easily pleased Olli!
Try using the tractor beam with a 4+SCU crate. Very clunky-narrow ramp opening vs tractor movement.
Tractor beam is bugged and has a few confirmed issue council reports - hopefully fix is coming in soon
The hole on the side looks like a standard airlock docking port?
The suitlocker doors look like tigerclaw 😂
That comment about having the ladder on the side really messed with me. I feel like them not having done that is such a wasted opportunity. Both for saving internal space and for aesthetics.

@@GroovingDrums IAE is end of november, 3.24.2 will be releasing, as my best guess within 10 days give or take, to hit life just before, during or after citcon
LOL the excitement over single faucet sinks is such a British thing! Here in the US, thats just _a sink._ Im sure the developers were like, "lets put a sink here" and werent thinking about anything like "its gonna be high tech cause it only has 1 faucet" because thats the norm in America.
I need 3.24.2 to be live, like yesterday
How big is this compared to the cutty or the MSR?
This ship Iis the most detailed one in the game. The Montreal ship team did an amazing job!
Zeus MK2 Looks fantastic!!!
CIG: Oh ya...the fire extinguishers...well...we uh .. we've had....... issues
How does it run so smoothly on your pc? Whats the specs
I love the concept of the game but it has such frivolous art that it breaks my immersion, the ships have impressive aerodynamic shapes when they float in the atmosphere as if they were a helium balloon without gravity, beautiful lights everywhere, full of unnecessary aesthetics and "light-energy" expenses in a more realistic situation, lights on the floor... inside the engines... outside on the roof lighting up the spoilers... wtf
The game is about looking good, they look like tourist ships, a shame :/
It's Olli's ship, of course it is going to catch fire. 😆
