I was about to say. God damn.
Thanks for the video. I have a Carrack. Where is the computer core room? Are you referring to the room that overlooks the engineering spaces, or the airlock room above and behind the hangar roof, or the upper bridge? How do you extend and retract antennas? Are you referring to the extensions coming off the landing gear? I wonder if I have been missing some of its capabilities. It’s my favorite ship, but I wish it had pilot controlled weapons, and I wish the aft elevator would go down to the ground so you could enter/exit the ship at either end.
Biggest issue with the Carrack now is that you cannot manually load or take off cargo because there is no cargo bay doors
This can be seen as a pro and a con. When you have players like "Summit1g" stealing cargo, this really slows them down.
I like the Carrack, but hate how 90% of the cargo hold is unusable when it comes to ease of loading/unloading. Can't put ships there, can't access it from the outside, and that's about the only thing not making it my daily driver. I do like that you can take off and easily park from spaceport (unlike 890j), and it performs in atmosphere a lot better than the 890j. They need to fix that cargo hold so its more accessible. Also it has food on board but you can't eat any? Or drink? I also agree the pilot needs some missiles, this is a military ship isn't it? Thanks for the review!
I got one as a Galaxy loaner. It’s cool but the extra cargo bay doors not being openable after this much development time blows my mind! Missing out on like 300scu of cargo… I offered to run cargo for ERT’s and my friends said no bring a Connie Taurus or C2 😂
I believe the tier 2 med bay won’t be a rez spawn location once the Apollo Tier 1 bed and Galaxy medics module come out, which is fair b/c the Carrack can do so much already
When those modular bays come online with the vehicle bay, it's going to be chef's kiss. Put an Atlas MCV in one bay, along with some building material in the other two, a light tank in the hanger, and plenty of troops. You have a portable FOB for all your Command & Conquer ground battles, with active mapping of the battlefield showing what's going on around you, and a respawn point for your troops. This guy's is going to be an awesome Command & Control ship.
I see someone agrees with me!
"People who don't need this, people who have a 600i or Aquila." Me siting here with the EXPLORATION MEGAPACK 2950 😅😅
Well the most important part of that sentence is "need" lol... "Want" is can of worms I don't open, considering how many packs I have purchased
I enjoy my Carrack Expedition. Some people dont like the lack of cargo access but I look at it as Pirates dont want to deal with the headache. Never been pirated while running cargo.
That is an excellent point!
The problem isn’t player run cargo. It’s ERT Cargo that can’t be extracted that some people take issue with. 1 SCU boxes can fit through the sub-deck hatches, and 2 SCU crates *CAN* fit but will easily wedge in place Austin Powers style if one isn’t careful. Anything larger than that is permanently stuck in the cargo bays. My friend and I have A) had to leave uncounted SCU of Widow and even Eggs behind because they were on Carracks, and B) we don’t even soft-kill Carracks at ERT’s anymore. 1 Type-IX torpedo from my Retaliator and it’s hard-killed, because attempting to extract cargo from the Carrack is a waste of time.
@@ericfeatherstone776once they add manual loading of all cargo they need to make the carrack pods open, either a ramp that opens on the side or the whole cargo deck goes down on an elevator.
@@dekulruno given the limited clearance under the cargo pod, it'll more than likely be one or both sides folding open.
@@ericfeatherstone776 have you tried detaching cargo from the grid and then exploding the ship?
Stoked that I managed to get one for about $190 after taking advantage of some older CCUs
Incredible. That is definitely a 10 if I ever saw it.
Small correction on the turret guns; Guns on turrets aren't on gimbals because the turret itself is the gimbal, so turrets likely will mot see an increase in hardpoint size with the new Gunnery update with MM.
The ship also doesn't have missiles as a design choice, as those are a finite resource and it's meant to stay out of civilized space without possibility of re-supply for long periods.
Thanks for the assist i'm hoping they will but your logic is sound
Yeah turrets have a Gyro mode, Super Gimble
@@MrMcbear Gyro Mode keeps your turret aligned with your aiming point rather than rotating with the ship. For example if you were aiming straight up in a HH in a side turret and the ship rotated in the opposite direction, you will keep aiming at the same point until the ship rotates beyond the limits of the turret.
Full confession - I have a Starfarer on an alt for extending the fuel range on the Carrack...and others. Fair take. Great video.
I love the Carrack becose i love the Pisecs and Anvil Design in genereal.
I love doing Bunker missions mith a Freand , fly there with the Carrack, drop down with the Pisecs and come back to base.
Sure a Cutless red would be more efficent, but i love it that way.
We bought the Carrack ingame , so making money fast isnt even the Target.
We can do that with trading in the C2 or in our Reclaimer.
This is just for flying our base, dropm of with the litle one and start playing the Doom Music
For me, it is 20/10, since it cost me nothing.
2019 was the year of the meltening. I, even, melted my beloved Carrack. A subsequent patient package purchase, and CCU chaining sorcery saved me enough to say my current Carrack cost $0.
Yeah free = 20 lol
Very nice. I managed to snag a few 2948 Exploration packages way back in the day by buying them and melting them numerous times, so my Carrack is part of a bigger pack from back when it was valued at $350, and even then it was like a 20% savings vs the cost of all the ships in the pack
Got my Carrack with the Exploration pack at $695. I have over 40 ships/vehicles in my fleet, but If I could only keep 2. they would be the Carrack and Warden (Of what is flyable now. ask me again when the BMM comes out) I love my Carrack.
If only they would give us a bigger hanger to land it in.
The only larger hangar is XL and the Carrack is specifically sized to fit in the Large hangars as most stations won't have a hangar to dock a Capital ship. It fits fine.
@@harabecswurveweathers Your joking, right? It clears by inches on all four sides, nothing takes longer to land. And I believe it is a medium hanger???
@@wkinne1 no it's the Large Hangar, the Medium Hangar is the one the Connie typically spawns in. And no I'm not joking. I fly the Carrack most of the time and I have zero issues landing in any hangar even in 1st person.
@@harabecswurveweathers You're a better pilot than me then.
They also seriously need to update the “Auto-land” feature. It’s absolutely, completely, 100% worthless to have a system that’s only available when you’re barely 2 meters above the landing platform. By that point you’re already entirely inside the hangar/bay and thus has no function beyond “I want to be properly centered on the pad.”
Needs to be extended out to at least just above/outside the bay/hangar (2 ship heights/lengths above/in front of).
Just wanted to note a few things.
Seeing how we'll be able to slave weapons to the pilot eventually, and the fact that the Carrack has a boatload of processors- the stuff needed to control turrets, we'll more than likely be able to take control of every turret on the ship.
Secondly, missiles. It was a recon ship before it was an exploration ship. Who knows what will come later tbh. There's only the one module available right now. Cargo. So there's nowhere to stuff said missiles.
Third, components. Seeing the rework on new ships like the Zeus, I think it's safe to say that all ships, including the Carrack, will see a rework in their component size. It's a major mistake that alot of people have been making with the Zeus in comparison to the Connies. They think that the Zeus is better because it has more components thus more power than the Connie. In reality, the Connies simply haven't been updated yet. Same energy for the Carrack. I'm sure it'll receive a component buff.
As for cargo, I'm willing to bet the cargo modules will have doors placed on them that are accessible from the outside. Basically turning the cargo area into a Connie-like drop down belly platform. I'm absolutely anticipating this upgrade. It's definitely long overdue.
All in all, the Carrack is by far one of my favorite ships. The possibility of modules will be crazy.
On the cargo hold, the sides of the pods already have doors, the issue is they need to plug in the animations for the cargo pods to lower to be dropped off or opened.
The Versatility of modules will be amazing on the Carrack and IMO one will be a refinery like the Galaxy has.
It will not bother me one bit to carry a ROC or 2 in the rover bay, since there is so much room in it.
There may also be base building modules, we will see when modularity comes into the game.
I hope you're right because i've heard about 90 different "there will be _____ module" ideas and all of them can't come to fruition. There has to be something the Carrack can't do or there's little reason to buy other dedicated ships or other multirole ships.
@@billionaireninjas I unlike CIG do not believe in built in nerfs. Just like car companies all sell pickups that are basically the same, but have a different look, the changes are very minor.
I don't think it's a nerf to not be able to do everything though. I think it's just balance. Unlike car companies, CIG has no competition within their own game. It makes sense for them to sell other multi-role ships and they've said as much. Chris Roberts, Todd Pappy, John Crewe, Paul Jones and just about every other big wig at CIG has stated there will be no perfect ship, no do everything ship, you'll have to choose the right tool for the job.
@@billionaireninjas I'm talking about taking the same ship type/size/cargo area and nerfing the doorway so it can't fit a ROC. Petty things like that for Ex.
Multi-crew ships should focus on multi-crew gameplay and encourage multi-crew cooperation to make the ship excel in its role.
Having the ability to pull the ship from storage with a snub already loaded would save a major headache. I use it as a mobile spawn point for the party in the event that I eat it on some mission.
Being able to open the cargo space would give it another point as well
It’s a nightmare to loot it’s cargo
Funny thing about the Carrack, you can park an additional ship on top of the hanger bay and it be stable in combat and FTL, effectively doubling its hanger capacity. Hell, there are videos of people putting an Anvil Ballista on top of the hanger bay to give the Carrack ship killer torpedoes. Things on top of the hanger bay even store properly when you land and store you ship.
Not any more. Nothing sticks to the hangar door anymore. Thanks CIG
They "fixed the bug" that allowed this to happen. I sold my tank after cause I would use it up there and give the carrack the extra fire power
I like the Carrack but I'm going to trade it in for a Misc Odyssey.
I'm under the impression that from what they said on isc and scl that the gimbal changes will not up size all guns, especially not turrets, it'll just make them able to use gimbled weapons of the max weapon slot size. So a s5 turret won't go to dual s5 otherwise with that logic the hammerhead would get that same buff, perseus, idris, every ship with a turret. I think you may be misunderstanding that gimble upgrade, specifically when it comes to turrets friend. ❤
Yes! I addressed this in the pinned comment. Thank you!
@@billionaireninjas must have missed that. My bad.
No worries! Cheers mate!
Totally fair rating i love this ship
"To me, at $350 this becomes the best value ship in the game". Endeavor: "Hold my beer."
I have three endeavors so I believe that gives me a pass for my transgression.
@@billionaireninjas You shall be forgiven then. The cult of the Endeavor will spare you this time^^
It was always a tossup for me between the carrack and the 600i ex. The carrack got way larger and had so many extra features added over the years. Hopefully the 600i will see the same love during its long awaited revamp.
Paid a grand total of $285 for my Carrack from a CCU chain I spent a year and a half making.it’s my favorite ship
Yes, as you should that's king sh*t!
Or if you are lazy, buy a basic Galaxy ($300) and get a Carrack as the loaner.
@@Dracounguis I’m building a chain to the Galaxy as well
I have the carrack but would like op to do a video on the odessey. I might melt the carrack for this bruiser. Both are amazing in their own way.
I appreciate the support but to be honest the Odyssey video is a long way away because I'm going in alphabetical order to keep myself from playing favorites lol
Better to wait until both ships are more or less in the final stages to make a choice. I think the Odessey wont be that good compared to the Carrack to be honest, they sold it as a Carrack killer because the Carrack is simply one of the best ships in the game.
This video is needed, because I've seen multiple videos lately about how amazing the Odyssey is in comparison to the Carrack from people who clearly haven't researched the full capabilities of the Carrack. For the record, I own both. I think they are fairly balanced against each other, both are good exploration ships, but specialize in that role differently. Far too many people undervalue the Carrack ever since the Odyssey came out, and often compare the "paper Odyssey" with the "currently in game Carrack" instead of comparing with what the Carrack *will* have.
I have a whole other video for comparing the two. I made this video purposely without mentioning certain ships because some Carrack owners let their fanboyism override their common sense and the same goes for owners of that other ship.
Carrack is best. No further explation is need. Is good, is best. All other is secondary including english....;)
Mulity-crew, CIG want friends interaction , bigger the ship you going too need a crew, they don't want a solo player to fly massive ships.
I've never heard them say this but I hear it a lot. I hear CIG saying AI Blades and NPC's just about every 30 days so I'm not sure why they wouldn't want solo players flying massive ships. They have talked about NPC's not being as efficient as humans though so it definitely would be better with friends. As are most things!
@@billionaireninjas Well it all boils down the AI not been ready. and i have had more fun with players, until AI is where it is equal to players,, IE not been able to tell which is which then for now trying to repair a big ship while in combat, ain't going to cut it, I expect we will see this in effect in Pyro, no crew and you flying solo, it's going to hurt.
Fly a carrack after flying a reclaimer and I promise it will handle like a dream lol
I have and...it did not. Reclaimer does feel like it's moving in slow motion but Carrack feels like I'm trying to ride the back of a space whale like a horse.
I would like to get on and off the ship with a personal lift and not use the massive front door.
Same!
I just got the carrack. I got the game in December got a bunch of ships.. then decided it made no sense to horde LTI small ships I could easily buy in game that I should just get one big ship that I can make money in game with and branch out. The drones make me curious because I have seen so many videos saying different things. That they could mine and salvage, Or that they could be sent out to do deeper scans.. Etc.. So I'm confused what they are going to do. I'm curious what you mean about the modular bays?
We have no idea about what bays will include. CIG hasn't stated anything official yet. But the bays where the cargo is located can be swapped which is what makes the ship modular. I'm willing to bet that there will be a combat variant of some sort.
Why not mention ingame pricing?
Good Point. I'll start doing that!
5:12 - How can you claim such nonsense? All the ships in the game cost only what the devs greed dictates, which doesn’t mean their actual worth. They might worth that only if they were rare or exclusive, but not when anyone can buy them, and especially not in the state of 90% of the stuff not working in all the ships.
And to top all of that, nothing you buy in this game belongs to you. Everything you buy in this game even for real money belongs to the devs.
As a loaner for my galaxy this ship is amazing however the price does affect it greatly. I believe the ship is 7/10 because of the lack of gameplay right now for the price. If you could use the ship fully including repair then the ship is so much better. I will put below better ships at the price.
I believe we need to take into consideration the ship and vehicle included. technically your saving around $100. However I believe either the Galaxy or the Odyssey is a better buy at the moment.
The Galaxy is more of an org ship that has 4 modules however to change modules will take multiple hours at certain locations. Also take into consideration that both the Galaxy and Odyssey will likely raise above $500 plus modules cost from $50-$100 each. Four modules for the Galaxy including cargo, med beds with 6 beds including a tier one med bed, refinement, base building (up too large structures). However the Galaxy doesn't come with a medical bed stock so when you have any other module installed you will be without a medical bed. however the hanger bay at the back is made to fit a Pisces C8R (not included).
Odyssey is a mobile space base. Many people who want to explore save sectors may want this ship for its ability to do everything including adding a hanger, science bay, med bay, agriculture however the ship will not be able to land planet side. I've always thought of the Odyssey as a base in space. Many people will push you to go this way as you can complete most gameplay loops in one ship minus pvp. For the farmer that wants to explore in safe space (the ship will not handle pirate attacks well),
The Carrack I believe will play a role in large Org ship used to move sensitive materials. You can stick a light fighter in the hanger and leave the cargo bay vehicle free for maximum cargo room.
For the price I decided to buy The Galaxy with med bed module ($90) and a C8R ($60). I get the Carrack as a loaner till the Galaxy release which really punches up. The Carrack is a strong ship however I think purchasing multiple ship with multiple hangers will be more useful than one big ship and large hanger.
That's my 2 cents, either way its all love and you get the ship that's caters to what gameplay loops you want to play. Love from Canada
I appreciate your breakdown. A point away isn't too far off from us. I think that 456 of scu being third best in game right now, where cargo is one of the top 3 moneymakers, along with having a spawing medbed, a minihangar, and coming with both a vehicle and a snub...thats my extra point for in-game right now. But again I respect it!
@@billionaireninjas Once all gameplay in introduced this ship will be 8.5/10. I'm just giving people other ideas for the same price range. Love the videos, a very grounded channel. I look forward to your next videos.
We must also remember the base price, because almost all ships rise in price after release.
Neither the Galaxy or the Odyssey is in game so it's purely speculation at this point what is better or worse.
Some ships look better on paper, than what you get in the end (MSR/Terrapin). We are All gambling ...
until the SC PU is officially released.
@@jedi_drifter2988 Been playing since 2017 and you are right. I'm still upset with the vanguard modules. I'm trying to add more conversation to the ship since I fear people are buying needlessly, However you are correct about my speculation. I'm literally making up stories while looking at blueprints --___--
@@donnys2965 I had the Warden when it first came out and got the BUC upgrade to the Harbinger. It was not the ship I thought it would be, so I CCU it to a LTI Carrack.
it actually doesnt make sense for the turrets to be remote. The Carrack is a military exploration vessel and one thing the military has plenty of is bodies. Also both in game and in lore a manned turret is gonna have far better situational awareness then a remote turret. The only advantage of a remote turret is convenience and military vehicles arent worred about that at all.
It makes plenty of sense. You lose a manned turret you lose a turret and a man. You lose a remote turret you lose a turret. Also it USED to be a military exploration vessel. What better way to separate it's civilian and industrial release than with a different turret loadout. If not then they could just have the difference be on a variant.
The top turret on the Carrack is a remote turret with a good field of coverage and can be easily bladed when they are in game .
AnGrY cOmMeNt! 😉
Are you sure the gimballed thing involves turrets as well? Somehow i'm not sure
Good point. They said all weapons so I'm assuming turrets are included in all weapons.
The claim time isn't 7 minutes bro it's 40min. Expediting also costs wayy more xD
Wait wut? Lol I dont know how that got in there pinned comment with correct time incoming
im enjoyng my carrack bis 2952 :D
The Carrack is one of those ships that I have in buy backs in a 2048 Exploration pack for $695. I keep wondering if it's worth taking out or melting something like my Perseus to get.
It depends on the gameplay you want carrack is much more multi-role than a perseus. Perseus is much more combay heavy
Take you time and ccu to it over a year will save so much
@@Beyzonevideos It's a pack, so it's a fixed cost. THAT being said, basically you're paying 95 over the current cost of the Carrack and get a few more ships with it. I don't really have a use for them but a bonus.
But you're right, if I just do the Carrack itself with CCUs I can save a bunch. That's how I got my Polaris for 275. ;)
@@SCTimbal i wish my polaris was that low
I got my polaris for the same amount! I wish I knew about the CCU game earlier lol. That being said I had a 2948 exploration pack going into IAE 2953. Had all my favorite ships in it via upgrades over the years.
I melted the whole pack on the last day. Got all the ships back playing the CCU game. saved $650, and was no longer stuck in the pack. It took $200 of new money but still a net saving of $450. Thats how I got my money machin... I mean Reclaimer.
I have been wondering, in the carrack package it does not list the pisces or the ursa but they are avaliable in game. This strikes me like the loaner vehicles, as the pisces and ursa are not selectable to upgrade individually.
tldr: Will the included pisces and ursa be avaliable when version 1.0 comes out? or might we want to pick up another ground vehicle/snub ship from the shop?
It's available as soon as you purchase the ship. Regardless of the way you buy the Carrack from RSI it comes with those ships. But you have to spawn them separately as of 3.22. Even If you only have the Carrack as a loaner it still comes with a C8 and an Ursa.
Right, my concern is that the pisces and ursa are simply loaners, and when the game goes live we will have to get our own vehicle and snub. This is drawn from the lack of pisces and ursa on the rsi website hanger page, i am aware they are avaliable in the current ptu.@@billionaireninjas
i love my betty ( would love her more if i could log out in the fucking beds.. ) but i do plan on getting the oddesy as well..
Oh aboout the bays, would be cool to have salvage drones for crafting! not really for selling shit just like so we can repair coz how els are we going to do it!! ( wink wink )
those elevators, tho..
angry comment
This plus a pisces and you can pretend to be the Serenity or the Enterprise.
That's the reason I think u can solo it.bcoz it don't have power enough to run all at once hehe
