  • In this video we break down the brand new Crusader Industries Spirit A1, to see how it stands as a competitor to the A2, solo bomber, and daily driver.
    Huge shoutout to DSVet for letting my borrow his C1 and STV for the B-Roll in this video!

      ​@@samheini that's easy the Cutty are for fans of industrial design ships and it features a bit more firepower than the C1, the C1 is for cargo hauling in Crusader design style meaning its a LOT prettier design wise, its a bit outgunned compared to the Cutty, but it feels more maneuverable to me than the Cutty.

    This is the perfect ship for star citizen as it is now. Other more specialized ships are going to be better in more developed stages of the game but as long as the game mostly revolves around simple missions and tasks, a multi purpose ship like this will be a dream. Not to mention, it’ll be good for when you wanna go driving around on daymar or something with your friends. You can fit 2 ROCs in there so you could probably fit a pair of most small rovers or a handful of bikes.

      When do you think this game will actually get developed? I mean, it's well over a decade since they were "fully funded" and well past the initial launch dates. They have done NOTHING to prove to us that they will actually finish and launch the game. They have though, proven to us that they will continue to delay the launch and keep selling virtual ships. Question: Why would they stop what has obviously become their business model of selling ships and pushing launch back, when it's making them millions and millions?

    I'd love to see a bit into the future and look at cargo gameplay fully implemented. Some things are not that clear to me yet.
    Guessing the C1 will take cargo (probably valuable, low quantity cargo) planet side. Wings must be good for something, otherwise they'd eat up space unnecessarily.
    Well, the RAFT might do the same, but it seems to have more emphasis on lifting heavily. Or maybe to planets with more extreme gravity.
    Maybe the weight of cargo plays a role in what you can and can't move? Four vtol engines on that one should have a purpose too.
    Though the extensive QT range of the RAFT confuses me a bit, suggesting it would do long range instead.
    Then there are larger cargo vessels, like the C2. Wings would suggest it also goes planet side, will fuel be that expensive in the future that multiple stops on a planet are not viable?
    CIG must have a plan, so they don't serve the same platter to everyone.
    Can't have a C2 go where the C1 goes as well.

    I love the Cutlass. I'm trying the C1 out though. I fly with gimbals, so for me this actually has two guns a size up from the Cutlass. As for the Zeus... if those two size 4s aren't either gimbaled by default or bumped up a size so they can be sized down when gimbled, then I don't think the ship will be worth it. However none of the three can carry an Ursa. I haven't tried Pyro yet so I don't know how common those solar flares are, but I am thinking that maybe enclosed ground vehicles might be preferable to open tops there.

    was fun flying, not a fan for it being a daily driver. with the docking bays you get assigned, you need to land almost exactly square in the center or your bumping the sides. with the bigger profile also, can make landing at bunkers sometimes difficult also.

  • @DarthPoyner
    @DarthPoyner 7 місяців тому +3

    To be fully competitive with the Cutty, it needs another shield. This would help with the CS issue and give you more time to get out of there. Let the Cutty keep its weapon superiority so long as you have slightly higher survivability.
    Currently it only has front and back shields. It needs full 360 coverage. Definitely hope they fix that tractor beam issue, that is just appalling. The weapons rack doesn't currently work which is a little sad. The VTOL wing tips are surprisingly fragile. The hangars that are designated for this ship, barely allow for its width so it is very nerve wracking to land. Your major components are JUST INSIDE the ramp entrance so they can be screwed with first thing. There is only one entrance to the ship.
    That's all I can think of right now. I actually love this ship and hope that they do a slight redesign to fix these issues as I really want to use this as a daily.

      With the exception of the single entrance it out performs the cutty in every aspect tbh. It's more maneuverable. Pilot Control all guns, it's got a tractor beam.

    I fly a Freelancer MIS as a daily driver, but recently did a CCU from my Mule (with LTI) to a Zeus ES with the A1 as my loaner ship.
    I expect CIG to change that to the cargo variant (C1) when it’s in game and I’ll be happy to fly that until the Zeus is released
    If a better ship comes along, I likely won’t upgrade again as I like the idea of developing a relationship with my ship (names, when?) and a few quirks are good for that.
    I intend to keep the MIS, even though I don’t want to collect a ‘fleet’ as many backers do, but if I find myself never taking it out, I might melt her in a year or two … waiting for the Gold Standard pass on the Freelancer before I consign it to the smelters.
    But for now, it will be interesting to see if I abandon my Freelancer for the Spirit, as that tractor beam looks like a lot of fun.

    My main question is should I upgrade to this from the cutty black? In terms of feel I certainly like the c1 better but overall I want the best bang for buck. One thing I noticed is this only has one exit whereas the cutty has the two side doors. Another question, how future proof is the cutty? You mentioned the c1 has spots for jump drive and flight suits etc. does that make the c1 far more future proof?

The C1 has speed, with speed you can create and use range, at which point you won't get hit and can hit hard with the cannons. Use the range, the cannons are excellent. Forcing yourself into dogfighting range with repeaters or ballistics is a mistake when this ship has range creation as its combat strength.
