Sorry about that audio buzzing. My ground loop isolator didn't seem to cancel that out. Will check to see what needs to be remedied. Thank you for watching!
Every new ship makes MSR owners cry xD The MSR needs so many things and has so many things it doesn't need at all... Hopefully they add a docking port, a second entrance be it a front ramp or a ladder, and an improved layout for the server and turrets. And remove the useless elevator.
Very nice tour. I really love, that it was not just showing the ship, but you also included the cargo run - which is exactly what we like to see - for a Cargo ship. Big thanks for that. I like the ship tractor beam, but I hope one day ship tractors will work same as the ATLS tractor. I like the planing where to put which container, but not all the "bumping" around to get it there. And a perfect title ;-) Looking forward to your next videos.
I appreciate that you took the time to actually show the cargo side of this ship and not making a hasty review. From what I've seen, the tractor beam will need a serious makeover to handle loading and mostly unloading this ship manually.
I seem to recall an interview where they said the number of relays (and by extension the amount of redundancy in the ship's power grid) is based both on ship size and on ship role. In the Hammerhead example, military ships have more redundancy so that a single failed relay won't disable critical systems. No idea whether they're still keeping to that idea, of course.
5:50 One solution to the component access problem you cited: the “lock ports” control should lock both exterior ports and interior component bays. That way, intruders have to control the bridge space in order to open component access doors. If a ship has an engineering console, that console might also have a control to open component bays.
However, a determined pirate would just need to use a cutting laser on their Multitool, like the one shown during the SQ42 "I held the line trailer" and that has been discussed a few other times across CIG channels, to cut a hole in the acces panel.
Absolutely true. But let’s face it…any impediment to hostile actions is really not much more than a delaying tactic to possibly give the owner time to mount a defense. “A lock only slows down a thief,” as any good locksmith will tell you. 😊 And frankly, it will be great to finally have a use for the cutter!
@@mracicot very true, I imagine in future those kinds of panels will be ID locked, so only crew members with permission can access them, also provides an opportunity for hacking, depending on your tools and skills
@@mracicot oh also in terms of use for the cutter, I imagine we'll be getting when maelstrom comes in, which will also allow us to cut open doors and cargo bays, replacing the current "shoot to open" system
Ooh, yeah, that’s a good thought! Imagine a new multi-tool hacking module out some other handheld tool… if you can’t hack your way in, cut your way in. Ahhh, the possibilities! (First, though, CIG: please fix basic functionality like clipping, map malfunctions, ship features for ships already in game, etc, before adding more new features!!)
For everyone wondering the Zues CL Cargo Grid is 3 tall x 5 wide x 8 deep! With 2 side spots of 2 tall x 1 wide x 2 deep! 120+8. From the all the videos I think there is maybe an additional 8 Maybe 10 non Grid cargo space
I was excited for the Zeus CL, but after running some hauling missions the grid just started to annoy me. I melted it for now and went back to the Connie Taurus.
Tomato: "the URSA does not fit in this ship" Cpt.Foxyloxy: "with the wheels on..." HAHAHA, just SC things... NURSA fits fine once you shoot the wheels off. lol I can't wait to get my CL in the PU. Gives me a reason to log back in. Every time I try to play, I quit after 15 minutes now, usually because of bugs. I haven't really played since before MM came and a bunch of keybinds changed. Everything is new and weird now.
Absolutely LOVE the space dorito. I went with the Explorer because i didn't have an explorer ship and the Zeus just has that vibe I really like. Fantastic video and show&tell, Tomato!
20:52 if you change to VTOL when in flight you can see that the lower thrusters begin producing more thrust (also the engine audio changes). It's subtle but there is at the very least a cosmetic difference. I haven't done any testing to verify if the thrust profile actually changes.
We really do need more windows, it's tragic the Nomad, the /camper/ of ships, has 0 windows. How could this happen. I'm very curious how suit lockers will actually function. Like probably just a 'holds 1 full loadout' but it would be nice if there was an actual loadout like screen where you can pick from a selection of whatever you've stored. I feel people have also underestimated just the value of having something like those, admittedly awkwardly placed, tucked in cargo grid slots is just storing those extra things. It's very valuable to have space for cargo but it's also nice to just be able to store and bring /any/ supplies you're gonna need.
Watching your tour was enthralling, despite also playing multiple days each week, myself. Anyone saying 2024 has been a slow or boring year for SC is just nutso. It's a wildly different game than it was last year in so many ways, fundamentally and graphically. Multiple star systems is gonna be completely bonkers, incomparable to how it is in Starfield or NMS. I feel like even 5 star systems will probably feel like an overwhelming amount of places to see and experience. Let's go, Benoit!
I am very leery about storing gear on a ship. I have had stuff in storage and lockers, then my ship gets destroyed by some bug and when I get it back, the gear is all gone. Hopefully in the near future, ships won't be destroyed too often and the gear on board doesn't get lost.
@@hawkzulu5671 I don't know to be honest. Whenever I had a ship destroyed I always lost everything on board, even weapons in the weapon racks. I remember reading or watching a video where they said weapons stored in a rack, then ship stored and later retrieved, the weapons became part of the ship inventory. Never happened for, so I don't store anything on a ship except food and drink
@@rampant54 Yeah that was a thing for a couple patches in the 3.18/ 3.19 cycle but they removed it because people used the same thing to 'dupe' drugs - storing vehicles and claiming them so they respawn with the drugs on board - pile those drugs into a ship and claim another - until you have a hauling ship filled with tens upon tens of millions (Billions) in duped cargo.
@@hawkzulu5671 I'd gladly pay another insurance fee to "save" whatever I stored in my ship to avoid losing it all. Of course that would not cover potential unique/rare items or resources. But standard weapons, armors, medic stuff and food that would be an amazing improvement in QoL.
This is the reason for the updated map, you can pin point exactly where you want to go. All of don't have that expensive Tobi Tracker like you do. You can control the entire ship from the copilot seat, you should've put the larger boxes in first, I don't see how you didn't think of that.
I’m a bit conflicted with the cl. The cargo size is massive on paper but I’m a bit conflicted with it since at the edges of the door where boxes can fitz they don’t clip on correctly. So you’re having to jam the box in there to find a good clip point for it lock in place. Which makes a mess of if it’s even worth fitting in the additional two to four boxes on those sides
I love the ship design but speculations on future gameplay are always in flux as they’ve already changed so much from the initial spirit of the intended gameplay.
I wish CIG would player Tetris (Though I always though Dr Mario was way more fun). While items snapping to the grid is nice, I wish you could just slide and rotate things along the grind the way Tetris blocks would move, without all the banging. I like loading, but it feels like it could be so much smoother. That and the ship tractor beams seem like they're setup more to pass cargo to someone in the bay with a maxlift if you want to be efficient.
14:05 I am not sure why they wasted space by putting that VEL and unit on that HUD projection when the speed is already readout as 211M/S. Use that space for a more segmented speed limiter. I am pretty sure there is some switch on that settings MFD that will then cast the speed to the left of the pitch ladder across from the altimeter. not sure why that would not default to on though.
i feel like they shouldve added another window in the habitation section where those shelves are above the single bed, wouldve made the living area feel less utilitarian
it seems to be very tough. Had a collision with an ai ship of similar size. The ai ship exploded but my Zeus had no damage at all. Opposed to a spirit, which would’ve lost both wings. Side note: no coffee pot really irritates me
Love the design, I have the MR on order but - just watched Avenger_1 testing combat situations, and well, unfortunately its a little lacking for any form of combat against anyone slightly competent. , I'll wait for release of the MR but I don't think it will replace the cutty blue!
That hinge is interesting. Telescopes obviously but also the bottom attachment slides in a guide. I am not a hydraulic engineer but that seems like it could cause some issues since there is nothing blocking that trough from getting debris in it. Also not sure how that moves forward and backwards while the pistons are extending and contracting. Does look cool though and we know how important that is to CIG.
I’ve seen similar setups irl. You are right, they work/look really good… until they get the slightest bit dirty. Don’t have to worry about that in a video game though
Also I just remember this from the playtest they had in arena commander. But I really hope fuses aren't the MacGuffin of ships. If it's really dumbed down to a single fuse, then engineering is just gonna suck
The tobi eye tracker link from the description isnt working for me. Could be a firefox issue? Also a really nice bit of easy polish from the kerbal space program side of UA-cam is to mute in game music and add the track back in post so it doesnt cut around while watching
Seems to have messed up. Here is the link! bit.ly/STGEyeTracker I unfortunately don't have all the music from the game to do that, but usually I use my own music anyways which makes it a bit less jarring.
i actually prefer a more minimalistic UI , i don't like the tilt and all the useless style-elements (like the blue shadows in the corners or the backgrounds for health,food,water ), the radial-menus and also the new inventory (but gladly we can still use the old one in this case) and the minimap is just as useful as Bethesda's local maps i hope they add a way to turn off most of it, i downloaded the game again after a year because of MM just to look at my zeus and now i mostly use 3rd person because its the only way to turn off the UI. but at least the Zeus look nice.
I hope they smooth out the tractor beam gameplay. it turns way too goddamn slow and is in a funky position... i have faith but it does suck to see that whilst there's no way to automate loading. even just paying a few hundred credits to have some NPC load the ship over 5 minutes would be nice.
Why do you overstate the log out any where feature lol. That tone lol. If you’re in your ship in space you’ll still need to log out in the bed so that i log back in, in the ship. If you planet side log out anywhere
Wasn't really paying much attention to the statement anyways. Just commenting on what they said earlier this year, that they want people to be able to log out/in anywhere.
@@SpaceTomatoPlays It really is the only thing that makes sense with the gameplay they've been talking about for years. For example you can't be stranded on a planet, or in space, if you can just exit the game and spawn back at a station. Plus all the server meshing tech and persistence enables logging out and back in seamlessly. Bed logout is just such an old idea from when the game's scope was nowhere near what it is now. It was a solution to a problem that doesn't exist anymore, but people still seem adament about it. Though I do think bed logout will provide a buff like resting at an inn like other MMOs - like restoring thirst/hunger or a decrease to it, or temporarily improving stamina or health, that kind of thing.
@@vectonaut1503they said the difference in bed log on a ship a and just logging out could be the difference if your ship despawns or not. So there could be a big reason to bed log, not just the buff they talked about.
@@vectonaut1503 Vec, I may not be totally tracking what you’re saying, so forgive me if I missed your point. Bedlogging is a mandatory feature for me. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is when I have to stop playing unexpectedly. Having the ability to bedlog allows me to avoid a return to a station to be assured (as assured as one can be in this game) of keeping my gear, which adds 10-15 minutes to my shutdown time. If I don’t have that much time and dump out of the game without a graceful logout, all the stuff is gone if it isn’t in my personal inventory.
@@mracicot Oh I totally understand, I have a 1 year old which has probably cost me more ships than bugs lol. What I'm saying is that I think the goal is to be able to log out anywhere, and log back in exactly where you logged out, even if you're flying a ship, floating in space or stuck in a cave. This is a feature of every MMO and there's a few ways they can do this. With dynamic server meshing, they could log you back in to an "empty" server, temporarily, and then stream in other players as you move about. This would prevent people popping in out of nowhere. If you're flying a ship, exactly the same thing. If there's other ships nearby and if you'e not in combat, then they could even auto quantum the ship to an empty area of space first before despawning, and quantum back to where you were when you log back in (which is how EVE has done it for decades and we already kind of have this in the form of a crash recovery). So basically bed logging without needing to use the bed, I think exiting/entering the game will eventually just log you out and in at the exact same location. This makes sense for the gameplay they've talked about. For example you can't be stranded on a planet or in space with how logging currently works, as you're safe as soon as you log out and back in. They need to make it so that you log back in exactly where you logged out in order for people/NPCs to rescue you, or you figure out how to rescue yourself with the resources available. I do think bed logging will still exist as an option, and will just provide some small buffs/benefits to using. As in you could just exit the game, but if you make the effort to go to a bed to log out then when you log back in, you'll have some small benefits. I think we just need server meshing up and running first before they can implement this.
this in evo? 2:30 sure, after spending 2 hours making loadouts to store into your suit containers, then you randomly explode leaving the hangar and have to do it all gain 18:20 so in response to our complaining the nav markers looking too similar they just made them all exactly the same? so stupid...
I'm really struggling with this choice. The c1 is faster and more nimble in atmo but the zeus looks nicer and is easier to land/takeoff. The docking port and boarding ladder are serious bonuses. The c1 is slightly more solo friendly and has a slightly better cockpit view and Imo. It's tough...
Spirit definitely still has merits that the c1 doesn't. I don't think we can fit 32 scu crates into the zeus cl but we can fit 2 into the c1. The zeus however can be packed more completely because there's alternative entrances to the ship cockpit. It's a hard choice, but I think I'm going for the Zeus
I just noticed just many times RSI Logo appears on that ship!! Too many times frankly, a bit of over branding going on there, is RSI not confident in the manufacturing of their own product?
It says "bathroom". A lure for the innocent and ignorant spacer, a trap laid by the void. The great stuckness. UA-cam has had a deluge of Zeus video's already. You're a bit late to the party. The difference in time equates the difference in quality. I wonder how well it does with hauling missions that exceed the C1's capacity (over 64SCU) but are within the Zeus' own carrying volume (of 128SCU). So hauling around ~100SCU. Also wonder what the fuel costs will be. A lot of RSI around the ship? But I don't want repetitive strain injury. At 30:30 or so in, you pull in the landing gears... the ladder remains extended.
I CC'd my Zeus CL into a Taurus. I see no point in the CL since both ships are classified the same size but the Taurus is just miles better. I did keep my Zeus ES to see if it offers any benifit because it has explorer in its name. I would rather fly my 400i but thats been hit so hard by the nerf bat Im thinking they did it because of the Zeus. As of right now I have no daily flyer since they nerfed the ship I liked to use and I dont want to use the Zeus as a daily driver. Also the Zeus is smaller and does less than I expected. Can't even put an Ursa in it so I don't see the point of the ship. Eventually they will nerf the Zeus series with the nerf bat like they did with the other ships in its range to sell another. I'm almost done with the games they play to sell new ships. I think my friends were smart and they quit paying attention to star citizen 8 years ago.
ill be honest, tractor beams kinda ruin things now, would be better if they were limited to walkers and forklifts with limited range to put boxes on top of others. having walkers and no need for them is crazy.
Radar altimeters read the distance to the terrain you're over. What is sea level on a moon with no atmosphere or water? Barometric altimeters read air pressure, which needs to be set accordingly. All I need to know is how far below my keel is the mountain I'm about to crash into.
well those that complain its taking to long to get features have a mind of a 8 year old so we dont listen to them and cig shouldnt listen to them either, those folks clearly have never tried coding, because if they did they wouldnt be so hypocritical, coding isnt easy with a big game.
I don’t understand CIG’s obsession with giving ships like this or the MSR big cargo bays with tiny restrictive doors. It’s such an abhorrent design decision and just limits you from engaging in more gameplay opportunities.
I feel like this may be tied to the nursa and maybe minimizing the ships that can function as a "respawn" ship. If that is part of the reason, I guess I get it. Still wish my spirit could carry one
Sorry about that audio buzzing. My ground loop isolator didn't seem to cancel that out. Will check to see what needs to be remedied. Thank you for watching!
Gotta go all balanced TRS or XLR. That's how I got rid of mine
MSR needs this front ladder
yes, 2nd exit is much useful then red corridors floor
I remember them saying they were working on a second entrance/exit for the future.
And a cargo focused variant without the servers
@@ahumeniy that would be kinda crazy. it already has 114 SCU. what would it be without the servers? 200??
Every new ship makes MSR owners cry xD
The MSR needs so many things and has so many things it doesn't need at all...
Hopefully they add a docking port, a second entrance be it a front ramp or a ladder, and an improved layout for the server and turrets. And remove the useless elevator.
After this patch drops, you’re going to see a Zeus two out of every three ships you see.
And the other will be a cutty black or connie
Glad I own all 3

It seems they replaced relay redundancy with fuse count.
Larger ships have more relay boxes, military ships have more fuses per relay box.

Also I just remember this from the playtest they had in arena commander. But I really hope fuses aren't the MacGuffin of ships. If it's really dumbed down to a single fuse, then engineering is just gonna suck
If you guys just go slow with the tractor beam it really is not bad at all to load and unload bigger boxes
The cargo grid is such a pain in the backside it really let's this ship down. Thinking about upgrading to something else.
What ships have actually gotten re designs in order to bring them up to par with modern amenities? Are they free or sold separately to the public?
do U think tha MEDIVAC URSA will fit in it ? tks
Doesn't. I should, but CIG wants to sell more ships, so they purposely made the entrance too small
There re vtol thrusters only turn on when you engage
The tobi eye tracker link from the description isnt working for me. Could be a firefox issue?
Also a really nice bit of easy polish from the kerbal space program side of UA-cam is to mute in game music and add the track back in post so it doesnt cut around while watching
Seems to have messed up. Here is the link! bit.ly/STGEyeTracker
I unfortunately don't have all the music from the game to do that, but usually I use my own music anyways which makes it a bit less jarring.
Just for the front ladder alone, i deleted my MSR and got a Zeus
dayum shes a beauty
I hated the cargo grid, its a pain to load stuff in it, Im upgrading or melting it
What is it with cig with slanted doors and hanging cables. I don’t like that
Can't fit an Ursa then I don't care anymore. Melting
i actually prefer a more minimalistic UI , i don't like the tilt and all the useless style-elements (like the blue shadows in the corners or the backgrounds for health,food,water ), the radial-menus and also the new inventory (but gladly we can still use the old one in this case) and the minimap is just as useful as Bethesda's local maps i hope they add a way to turn off most of it, i downloaded the game again after a year because of MM just to look at my zeus and now i mostly use 3rd person because its the only way to turn off the UI. but at least the Zeus look nice.
Do you have any recommendations for the tobii tracker? I just bought one.
I hope they smooth out the tractor beam gameplay. it turns way too goddamn slow and is in a funky position... i have faith but it does suck to see that whilst there's no way to automate loading. even just paying a few hundred credits to have some NPC load the ship over 5 minutes would be nice.
How did you get this ship.. .OMG. It's just what I'm looking for to do hauling
1:00 Yeah if only more ships were inspired by the freelancer series that was released in 2016! lol
which buttom is rotating the cargo?
It's just the Elite Dangerous ship isn't it?
Why do you overstate the log out any where feature lol. That tone lol. If you’re in your ship in space you’ll still need to log out in the bed so that i log back in, in the ship. If you planet side log out anywhere
Wasn't really paying much attention to the statement anyways. Just commenting on what they said earlier this year, that they want people to be able to log out/in anywhere.
@@SpaceTomatoPlays It really is the only thing that makes sense with the gameplay they've been talking about for years. For example you can't be stranded on a planet, or in space, if you can just exit the game and spawn back at a station. Plus all the server meshing tech and persistence enables logging out and back in seamlessly.
Bed logout is just such an old idea from when the game's scope was nowhere near what it is now. It was a solution to a problem that doesn't exist anymore, but people still seem adament about it. Though I do think bed logout will provide a buff like resting at an inn like other MMOs - like restoring thirst/hunger or a decrease to it, or temporarily improving stamina or health, that kind of thing.
@@vectonaut1503they said the difference in bed log on a ship a and just logging out could be the difference if your ship despawns or not. So there could be a big reason to bed log, not just the buff they talked about.
@@vectonaut1503 Vec, I may not be totally tracking what you’re saying, so forgive me if I missed your point. Bedlogging is a mandatory feature for me. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is when I have to stop playing unexpectedly. Having the ability to bedlog allows me to avoid a return to a station to be assured (as assured as one can be in this game) of keeping my gear, which adds 10-15 minutes to my shutdown time. If I don’t have that much time and dump out of the game without a graceful logout, all the stuff is gone if it isn’t in my personal inventory.
@@mracicot Oh I totally understand, I have a 1 year old which has probably cost me more ships than bugs lol.
What I'm saying is that I think the goal is to be able to log out anywhere, and log back in exactly where you logged out, even if you're flying a ship, floating in space or stuck in a cave. This is a feature of every MMO and there's a few ways they can do this.
With dynamic server meshing, they could log you back in to an "empty" server, temporarily, and then stream in other players as you move about. This would prevent people popping in out of nowhere.
If you're flying a ship, exactly the same thing. If there's other ships nearby and if you'e not in combat, then they could even auto quantum the ship to an empty area of space first before despawning, and quantum back to where you were when you log back in (which is how EVE has done it for decades and we already kind of have this in the form of a crash recovery). So basically bed logging without needing to use the bed, I think exiting/entering the game will eventually just log you out and in at the exact same location.
This makes sense for the gameplay they've talked about. For example you can't be stranded on a planet or in space with how logging currently works, as you're safe as soon as you log out and back in. They need to make it so that you log back in exactly where you logged out in order for people/NPCs to rescue you, or you figure out how to rescue yourself with the resources available.
I do think bed logging will still exist as an option, and will just provide some small buffs/benefits to using. As in you could just exit the game, but if you make the effort to go to a bed to log out then when you log back in, you'll have some small benefits.
I think we just need server meshing up and running first before they can implement this.
Pentagon. Home city is back to being Home Plate.
Man, wish I could play. But apparently, I just can't download the game. So, I just got to wait till they push a patch or something
this in evo?
2:30 sure, after spending 2 hours making loadouts to store into your suit containers, then you randomly explode leaving the hangar and have to do it all gain
18:20 so in response to our complaining the nav markers looking too similar they just made them all exactly the same? so stupid...
I'm loving a lot of these changes but what's stopping some guy from running up while you do this and robbing you, also you left the ladder open 😭
Hold R and rotate the box.
So... RIP The Spirit or nah?
I'm really struggling with this choice. The c1 is faster and more nimble in atmo but the zeus looks nicer and is easier to land/takeoff. The docking port and boarding ladder are serious bonuses. The c1 is slightly more solo friendly and has a slightly better cockpit view and Imo. It's tough...
Spirit definitely still has merits that the c1 doesn't. I don't think we can fit 32 scu crates into the zeus cl but we can fit 2 into the c1. The zeus however can be packed more completely because there's alternative entrances to the ship cockpit. It's a hard choice, but I think I'm going for the Zeus
My Spirit replaced the Cutty Black for utility runs. For cargo my C2 rules. The Zeus is nice mainly for its ladder but Ill pass.
I still like my Spirit, but this ship is pretty cool so far!
@@SpaceTomatoPlays y'know what'd make me keep the C1? The new Halloween paint 🤣🤣😄
Does the rock fit?
Yes
I just noticed just many times RSI Logo appears on that ship!! Too many times frankly, a bit of over branding going on there, is RSI not confident in the manufacturing of their own product?
yeah the cargo grid on the cl is a disaster
I wish the ships would spawn facing towards you. Quite awkward that your first impression of any new ship in-game tends to be it's ass
plenty of room for an Ursa. Little tiny bay door...
It says "bathroom". A lure for the innocent and ignorant spacer, a trap laid by the void. The great stuckness.
UA-cam has had a deluge of Zeus video's already. You're a bit late to the party. The difference in time equates the difference in quality. I wonder how well it does with hauling missions that exceed the C1's capacity (over 64SCU) but are within the Zeus' own carrying volume (of 128SCU). So hauling around ~100SCU. Also wonder what the fuel costs will be.
A lot of RSI around the ship? But I don't want repetitive strain injury.
At 30:30 or so in, you pull in the landing gears... the ladder remains extended.

I CC'd my Zeus CL into a Taurus. I see no point in the CL since both ships are classified the same size but the Taurus is just miles better. I did keep my Zeus ES to see if it offers any benifit because it has explorer in its name. I would rather fly my 400i but thats been hit so hard by the nerf bat Im thinking they did it because of the Zeus. As of right now I have no daily flyer since they nerfed the ship I liked to use and I dont want to use the Zeus as a daily driver. Also the Zeus is smaller and does less than I expected. Can't even put an Ursa in it so I don't see the point of the ship. Eventually they will nerf the Zeus series with the nerf bat like they did with the other ships in its range to sell another. I'm almost done with the games they play to sell new ships. I think my friends were smart and they quit paying attention to star citizen 8 years ago.
ill be honest, tractor beams kinda ruin things now, would be better if they were limited to walkers and forklifts with limited range to put boxes on top of others. having walkers and no need for them is crazy.
Shouldn't altimeter be measuring from global sea level, not the actual topography?
Radar altimeters read the distance to the terrain you're over. What is sea level on a moon with no atmosphere or water? Barometric altimeters read air pressure, which needs to be set accordingly. All I need to know is how far below my keel is the mountain I'm about to crash into.
@@Challenge72 Ah yes that makes sense, there is no sea on the moon haha. Big oversight on my part
You’re one of the top SC content creators and you don’t use a joystick in a space sim? Baffling
well those that complain its taking to long to get features have a mind of a 8 year old so we dont listen to them and cig shouldnt listen to them either, those folks clearly have never tried coding, because if they did they wouldnt be so hypocritical, coding isnt easy with a big game.
"Nice and spacious" lol wut? This ship gives me claustrophobia
Spacious by submarine standards 😂
Was not impressed with the cargo on it. Good ship but for hauling missions it can't handle 100 scu let alone 120.
I don’t understand CIG’s obsession with giving ships like this or the MSR big cargo bays with tiny restrictive doors. It’s such an abhorrent design decision and just limits you from engaging in more gameplay opportunities.
I feel like this may be tied to the nursa and maybe minimizing the ships that can function as a "respawn" ship.
If that is part of the reason, I guess I get it. Still wish my spirit could carry one

Too bad even a Pisces eats this ship for breakfast.
Ripping off evenlease
Worst Tetris gameplay ever.
