I liked the ship. And actually got it for a while. Though melted it mostly cause its not even close to a release, and the mining stuff felt more like a gimmick or afterthought to not be to similar to the carrack. And the separate crew quarters feel like it was just to fill up the space. Same goes for the multileveled hangar that only can fit a small, so it would be able to take up one floor. The thing with the carrack is that it was to versatile to be outmatched, And its because the carrack has all station it needs, and it has 3 slots for different pods to customise the ship for the mission. While the customisability with the Odyssey is what ship you bring with you, or vehicles. So as it stands carrack is smaller, less of a looker, but more thought through and versatile. Still I wouldn't mind if they updated the carrack abit, having the elevator in the back go all the way down to the ground, and turn the medbay so the door faces the main elevator.
@@Farrister I love your way of covering the ships objectively, rather than making me feel as though you are hyping it, to sell me on it. I appreciate that!
It is absolutely my intent to live aboard this thing for weeks without returning to a port of call. Legionnaire in the back to use as a shuttle/ferry and the recently cameo'd Atlas-chasis truck with the base building trailer to carve out a little farm in a tiny sliver of nowhere is the dream.
Lol Carrack Killer. Carrack was $350 on concept c/w an Ursa and Pisces. Where as the Odyssey was $700 ship on concept. As the Refinery can only refine QT fuel, and the fuel only goes to the fuel tanks, the mining/refining game play will save on fuel costs but none of what is mined/refined is sellable. The only gameplay this ship provides is long range game play for whatever ship/vehicle is in the hanger/bay.
I don't know why, but your videos always get my dog excited. She will come over and stare at the screen and tilt her head when you talk. She will even do little barks at it. It's only your stuff too. She doesn't react that way to any other video or voice.
Important things to note: 1) The Odyssey and Carrack don't actually compete. CIG calling it the "carrack killer" was just marketing. They do not perform the same functions. 2) The Carrack is a dedicated Pathfinder, while the Odyssey is a dedicated Expedition ship. Expedition being a sub-role under the greater umbrella of "Exploration" that implies ships would be on the frontier, in deep space, etc. A Pathfinder is a ship that charts mostly known territory, oft seeking to discover and establish new routes that maximize profit and minimize travel time. This is especially true of a Pathfinder when random jump points are spawned. 3) The Odyssey's ability to defend itself is actually quite a lot worse than the Carrack simply due to the turret locations so it's not truly a ship that is as 'self-sufficient' as the marketing material would imply. In addition to that, while you can mine hydrogen fuel, you can't actually do anything with it. The entire refueling system is internal, and self-feeding. 4) The Odyssey being significantly larger than the Carrack implies that the Carrack could quite possibly fit in Jump Points that the Odyssey is simply too large to go through, directly restricting the route options in-game as an Odyssey crew. (This is probably one of the more notable downsides of flying such a large ship. A vast majority of jump points are medium and small.)
@@Farrister Just pointing it out for viewers cause the community tends to tribalise around ships without really processing the information associated with them. People to this day still argue until the sun comes up that the Ody is a bigger better Carrack all because one ship dev said "Carrack killer" with tongue in cheek. :P
I really like the idea of owning a bigger ship like this or the carrack and being able to just have a homebase that i can return to with my shuttle craft. Without personal markers my dreams will stay dreams :(
That, and the inability to remotely open the hangar door from your other ship, like you can do with your garage door irl. Those two things have been the biggest crimp on using my Carrack as a home base.
Great ship this one ! actually the best 4-6 ppl long exploration ship imo, hope CIG will release a small ship with one or two drones for fast repair and it would be perfect. btw i made a few test to see if the Vulcan fits, apparently it could :) i agree with u concerning the backup battlefield of this ship too, u can fit a swarm of fury's in it for a good hit and run mission :) Anyway, great video as usual @Farrister 👍
Just an interesting note. The Odyssey is listed (in the matrix of lies) to have a Capital sized shield, generator, and drive. I find this interesting among the sup capital size of ships.
I think it could be a good fleet resupply ship carrying extra missiles and torpedoes, and i think a 7 man team paired with an eclipse and a couple people reloading torpedos in the hangar would make it a interesting long range strike carrier
the Odyssey is the ship next to the Endeavor and the Kraken, that I am most looking forward to... i am thinking of a C8R 2 Arrows or 3 C8R's for support for medical and or fighter escort when needed... as for ground... a G12, or a few STV's/Mule's or even an Ursa or two depending on space, maybe if it can hold one a Nova Tank or Storm
I think that once the modules for the Carrack are fully realized, there will be far more of an actual competition between the two ships in terms of use cases.
I was wainting for this one to show up. I think this one can offer more then a carrack. Mine and refining is great, It has the same medical abilities, has better hangar and garage. It needs some Hydroponics farm to grow food maybe? The carrack has a drone bay wich is very nice and supposedly will be able to place quantum beacons. So really, they'de be best working together...
@@Farristeryes, if it's a ship to be self sufficient, you need a way of producing food. water is bundand in space, just find a rock and it probably has ice on it. But food...
mining and refining is mainly so it can produce its own fuel. From its Q/A the refining can only refine fuel/hydrogen(hopefully this changes). Remeber carrack will also have modularity one day. Those cargo pods are intended to be swapable for difrent gameplay. Maybe it also gets the mining aspect as module? How carracks "repair" capabilites will be, we got to wait and see, guessing it cant be that good but better than none. Odyssey is missing some of the maping/long range capabilites the carrack got. Carrack can map/scan jump points, wich the odyssey cant. Carrack got the better long range scaners, As you say, I also think the best option would be for both those ships to travel togheter. As they are close in roles, but made for difrent tasks. Where the carrack is more specialiced, the odyssey is more for a general use kinda. with it being capable for difrent roles depending on what you bring. If it wants scaning gameplay, it can bring a terrapin with it(would not be as good as the carracks but better than the odysseys). Making it capable to bring other smaller ships that can perform the tasks it can not do itself. Just imagine if it can fit an vulture for some salavage gamplay also.
With drones, internal repair station, specialized jp scanning, armor and modularity all not in yet for the Carrack I think the Carrack will offer more but the Odyssey is pretty unique with its "off-roader" vibe and I can imagine it is just what many are looking for.
I don't know why but the Odyssey reminds me of that '70s, '80s sci fi art style (MISC generally does), so I got me one. Hope it's got a better interior than the Hull C though :D
My favorite ship!!!! I think it’ll grow in size I really hope they come out with more information on this. I have an CCU upgrade from Carrack to the Odyssey. 😅 just would like a little bit more information on the release of the Odyssey.
Looks like the current focus is knocking out RSI's family of large/capital ships. Once they have finished the Polaris, Galaxy, and Perseus, they will choose another manufacturer to focus on. Hopefully it's MISC!
With the right organization working together you could have a fleet that could act as a mobile space town with its own trade system, repair, refuel, etc everything.
This is a ship with potential to be a legitimate mobile home base for a frontier organization. One of these and maybe a few others to cover all needs could be incredible game play
Getting this one into Pyro will be awesome. I will never spend this kind of money on the game, nor grind for one I don't think, but I can't wait to join someone who did!
Great looking ship, most of the spec i have seen says it has 4 x medium computers. I hope that proves true as it will need extra blade slots for the mining buffs it can bring to fuel it self, as well as the exploration blades.
I hope at some point, tgere will be a small dronevehicle or repair ship. Probably an Argo variant, so you can repair if needed. Also doin maintainance on tge cap size components would be preferable, so this could get a real long travel ship. I probably ccu one of my bmms to it. It is a really nice small group ship. Thx for your content...
Ah yes, the "Carrack-Killer". Now, I am not a monster, I too love the Carrack. But I really hate how every single ship in this game that comes even remotely close to the size or price of the Carrack is immediately compared to the Carrack. The Carrack has become this sacrosanct ship that somehow every ship should be better than (otherwise it would not be worth it), while at the same time anything actually being better than the Carrack would be a capital offence.
I call it the "Carrack Companion". If the descriptions of the ship functions are to be believed, the Carrack will find jump points and various points of interest, and the Odyssey has the greater endurance to stay out and investigate longer with its ability to make fuel for itself and refuel the ships it carries. Could be for additional exploration (Terrapin), for mining expeditions (Prospector/On board ROCs, etc.), and more.
A lot of people always just think their ship is, and should remain, the 'best'. A bit of tribalism, as it were. I think the Odyssey and Carrack are different enough for both to have a place.
Carrack killer, no. Carrack *competitor*? Yes. They're similar-sized ships filling the same general role, and as such neither should be nor probably will be definitively better than the other all the way around. The Odyssey has some capability the Carrack doesn't have and vice versa, so which a player chooses will come down to which capabilities (or simple aesthetics) they value more. But I don't think the Odyssey is going to "kill" the Carrack any more than I think the Carrack is going to kill the Odyssey.
I’m curious why not only the odyssey, but also a larger ship like the kraken says that the minimum crew is 1. I’m happy for it since I most likely won’t have more than 3 other crew members (or none) for the odyssey, but it just seems odd since there aren’t even any pilot controlled weapons, aside from missiles
Hello Farrister. It's your regular poster and fello Org mate here. I like this video showcasing the MISC Odyssey. It is a nice concept ship with a lot of uses. Since I'm into Exploring, it would be right up my alley. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my budget range. I like the versatility of the ship, and multiple functions it has. I remember everyone saying it was the Carrack Killer when it was introduced. I believe it's bigger than the Carrack and has some more capabilities, but, I like my Carrack and I think I will stick to it over the Odyssey. Thanks for doing this video, as always. Stay well! Fly safe, and I'll see you in verse.
Actually, I was in the server for a little while and move my possessions from New Babbage to the station above it. I didn't stay in game long. I was on discord with one new member for a while, but I wasn't in game.
Honestly, an Odyssey MIS would be cool. get rid of the miner / refiner aspect, and replace that space with more storage, and perhaps better medical facilities. Then you could also replace the mining lasers with a chin mounted turret, perhaps with larger cannons.
Is it weird that sometimes I want ships that can do all of these but are much smaller? Like, see how much you can stuff into a Freelancer sized ship. I dunno, having the functionalities without needing to deal with the size problems of big ships would be nice. Maybe I'm not as enamoured by large ships as some are.
Great Video, never considered this ship but I think Im going to melt my Banu MM for the Odyssey. primarily because of the hanger and the ability to re-fuel itself. I wonder if SC will build systems that have never been visited! no information on file, wont that be cool!
No way this has only 2 main thrusters. The battle artwork shows a large, elongated thruster across the back so that is 3 (effectively 4). It also shows those front attached pods with thrust coming out of them bring the total up to a more realistic 5 (effectively 6). And what are those pods on the lower with the blue ring since they look like more thrusters?
I seriously considered switching from Carrack to Odyssey. The Carrack layout is fine if everyone is healthy and there isn't a major fight, however the shuttle bay is tiny and the only elevator that will fit a gurney is in the rear which makes patient transport from ground to medical bay circuitous. I stayed with the Carrack due to the modular cargo bays and the drone bay.
Dont forget that the carrack got the scaner and cartography gameplay that the oddesy is missing. wich should put the carrack as the "better" deep space pure explorer. I was tempted to change to odyssey also, especialy as it looks much better(not a big fan of carracks outer visuals) but stayed for the carrack
The term “Carrick Killer” upon release was fairly quickly debunked with Q&A shortly after. I like the versatility of the odyssey but it won’t be as tanky or defensible as the Carrick.
Hi Farrister, I'm not sure where you are seeing the Odyssey only has 2 computers. Everything I can find says it has 4 computers. Is this an error or did you have some sort of update that I didn't see?
@@Farrister oh man I'm actually glad you said that because there is such a ship 😏 So if you Google "The Garmur" it is a small missile "corvette/frigate" from another sci-fi space mmo called (Eve online) that I actually use late-game, and some of the unique design ques, engines and sleek bird themes feel very Tivarian, and if it looks any like that I'd be happy 📈👍🏻
i mainly salvage, this is going to be my mobile scrap yard. with the vulture in the hangar. the odyssey serving are storage and refuel with the ability to fuel scoop and quantum refine.
Wait, am i mixing this up with another ship? I thought this is the one eith the different external Attachments like the giant Radar dish or greenhouses...
I think sub-capitals (excluding freighters like the Hull-C) are a bit too big to be reasonable for my purposes, but if I were to go for one it would probably be the Odyssey.
Very excited for this ship, but hopefully blades are in the game before this so we can at least rely on having ai control the turrets for us for at least some basic protection.
I want to hope that we're 2 or so years out but with the CitCon announcement regarding the focus on RSI ships for now I can see it being much longer. Particularly if they decide to focus on a different manufacturer after RSI that isn't MISC.
Being that I prefer MISC, the Odyssey would be my end game ship instead of the Endeavor. I just hope they change the mining module to still mine everything.
I have an Odyssey via a CCU chain as it feels very overpriced as warbond for what you get. We just don't know its real capabilities at the moment as it doesn't really have any strengths unlike the Carrack. The Jump Point version had dedicated exploration facilities, such as the scanning room, but in the concept sale that was replaced with an utterly pointless viewing room with a small viewing slit. The stated role as a long range self sufficient exploration ship also seems flawed as its still tied to local re-supply for food etc, has no repair facilities, resupply or proper re-fueling capability for the small ship its carrying (hand fueling only), and no dedicated scanning facilities. I do like the internal structure as feels more like a ship you could live in. Definitely not a ship I'd recommend at the price until we know more about the final ship.
@SpaceDad42 its a all purpose exploration ship. Think the Carrack. It can mine and refine fuel if i remember correctly. Or at least carry a mobile mining vehicle like a ROC. A ship like the Odyssey would be invaluable in Pyro. Where fuel and supplies are scarcer. Its a safe bet for long distance expeditions with a crew
I never got the maximum crew. 6 is way too less. 1 pilot, 1 captain(maybe), 2 co pilots(maybe 1). no we are already if all is added at 4 people. laser beam and tractor beam adds another 2 people. engineer is another one. Maybe a pilot landed in your oddysey to get refueled or something, adds another one temporarily. now we are at 8 people. Realistically we would add at least 1 more to be able to use all 3 turrets at once(2 copilots and one other guy). now we are at 9. CIG really needs to add more beds in ships, like the reclaimer somehow only has 5, how? 2 beams, claw, pilot, 2 turrets, engineer, box sorter. Wayyy more than 5!
@@Farrister Thats probably it, but in real life the pilot of a plane is only the pilot. Not the cook as a second job. If they want to make a realistic game, every place has to have their own person and bed.
This is pretty true of all their ships, really. They never have enough berths for all the needed hands. What's more, CIG's ship designs make it clear that they have no ex-sailors on their ship teams nor anyone at all who understands the concept of watch standing. At best with their berthing accommodations, you could have a port-and-starboard watch cycle with the crew hot-bunking like on submarines. But none of their ships have enough berths to accommodate a three or four-section watch cycle nor even just a regular port-and-starboard watch without having to hot bunk.
I think these Drydock series should be changed to show more video on the background. It doesn't even need to be of the ship being presented. It's hard to keep attention on a pp slideshow.
Yeah I've been grappling with that, the challenge as you say would be that it would be of a different ship. Maybe I'll give it a try with semi transparent footage, a bit like a projector on a wall type thing
I've been in two minds about the Odyssey from the start. I want to like it BUT there is thing about it that say NO don't get one Vs the Carrack the t2 med bed is a downgrade. the ship hanger is the same size ? but if they let you mine and refine and store other materials along with QT and Hyd fuel . Then I can see its worth . out and about doing what ever mining ores storing for sale later repair refuel the fighter F8c Cough LOL would be great . Sticking the turrets on to blades to fend off the small fighters. I will wait till its out and all the stuff is fully known and if I get to see one in game will help making my mind up, but at this time the Odyssey isnt for me
I think many of these backers need to put away the Romanticism, use some common sense and realize nobody wants another day job. Its a generous gesture buying for the community, because chuck, your not buying them for yourself. Seeing these ships reach fruition solo is a plushie hugging impossible pipe dream. The BMM which so many of us have for braggin rights alone, yet its a shopping centre, now that sounds thrilling, it really does. PS: the planning, support and maintenance of the BMM will amaze many, that alone Capitals and an Orion. I myself have had to do some restructuring over this IAE, perspective was the main goal, ''foremost, buy for myself and don't become a generous benefactor to the community '', its my money im spending, my time im giving , to a game, not a good cause. If some one decides to give Capital ships to the community, so be it and god bless them.
For an org this ship is kinda useless. Carrack is far superior as a scout and as a wormhole mapper and can handle all planet negative effects. On top of 3 modules that are self sustained and can be droped off as a movile base for example. On top of drones repairbay etc.

Yay, thank you :)
Love this ship. I like to think it's the obvious precursor to the Endeavor and I am glad of it! Great show! 👍🏾
The everything ship!
Really like the MISC look - can't wait for the Odyssey. If things are moving faster in SC, maybe we'll see it sooner than later.
It would fit well in the current build!
Let's hope! But time will tell...
Looks like it will be an excellent ship. Can't wait to see it in game. Thank you for the video, Farrister!
I liked the ship. And actually got it for a while. Though melted it mostly cause its not even close to a release, and the mining stuff felt more like a gimmick or afterthought to not be to similar to the carrack. And the separate crew quarters feel like it was just to fill up the space. Same goes for the multileveled hangar that only can fit a small, so it would be able to take up one floor.

I'm hoping to be able to put a salvage ship on the Odyssey and then just disappear into the 'verse.
The vulture is probably going to be a super tight fit, but if you try hard enough, lol I bet it'll go.
@@CallMeTeach2 I always end up splatting them at some weird diagonal angle, so that might help it fit?
Sounds great.
Oh that would be cool!

This isn’t really a mining ship. It is a self refueling ship.

A lot of people always just think their ship is, and should remain, the 'best'. A bit of tribalism, as it were. I think the Odyssey and Carrack are different enough for both to have a place.
Carrack killer, no. Carrack *competitor*? Yes. They're similar-sized ships filling the same general role, and as such neither should be nor probably will be definitively better than the other all the way around. The Odyssey has some capability the Carrack doesn't have and vice versa, so which a player chooses will come down to which capabilities (or simple aesthetics) they value more. But I don't think the Odyssey is going to "kill" the Carrack any more than I think the Carrack is going to kill the Odyssey.
Cool ship however I think they came up with this ship so they have something simplier to work on before the Endeavor.
Oh maybe!
I’m curious why not only the odyssey, but also a larger ship like the kraken says that the minimum crew is 1. I’m happy for it since I most likely won’t have more than 3 other crew members (or none) for the odyssey, but it just seems odd since there aren’t even any pilot controlled weapons, aside from missiles
It's quite strange, I agree. I suppose you could fly it solo, but you'd be multi-tasking, and very vulnerable...
Hello Farrister. It's your regular poster and fello Org mate here. I like this video showcasing the MISC Odyssey. It is a nice concept ship with a lot of uses. Since I'm into Exploring, it would be right up my alley. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my budget range. I like the versatility of the ship, and multiple functions it has. I remember everyone saying it was the Carrack Killer when it was introduced. I believe it's bigger than the Carrack and has some more capabilities, but, I like my Carrack and I think I will stick to it over the Odyssey. Thanks for doing this video, as always. Stay well! Fly safe, and I'll see you in verse.
Thanks as ever Koron - saw you were playing with the group a couple of days ago!
Actually, I was in the server for a little while and move my possessions from New Babbage to the station above it. I didn't stay in game long. I was on discord with one new member for a while, but I wasn't in game.
Ah the so called “Carrack Killer”. Didn’t kill my Carrack! It does seem like it will be a really good competitor though.
Don't worry, your carrack will be dead once they nerf the medbed to be a non-respawn one, no need for the odyssey to kill it ;)
I didn’t buy it for the medbed and have an Apollo anyway, not worried about it.
:D
Honestly, an Odyssey MIS would be cool. get rid of the miner / refiner aspect, and replace that space with more storage, and perhaps better medical facilities. Then you could also replace the mining lasers with a chin mounted turret, perhaps with larger cannons.
Just imagine the dakka!
Is it weird that sometimes I want ships that can do all of these but are much smaller? Like, see how much you can stuff into a Freelancer sized ship. I dunno, having the functionalities without needing to deal with the size problems of big ships would be nice. Maybe I'm not as enamoured by large ships as some are.
Honestly I think the main reason this ship is so big is because of the hangar and the vehicle bay.
Coming to you in 2027. After Pyro and server meshing perfection.
Maybe xD
"Exploring"
Wonder when that'll be a thing? If ever in this PvP murder obssessed game
How long will you be able to explore for before all known space is mapped?
Good question...
Great Video, never considered this ship but I think Im going to melt my Banu MM for the Odyssey. primarily because of the hanger and the ability to re-fuel itself. I wonder if SC will build systems that have never been visited! no information on file, wont that be cool!
Oh wow, I'm surprised by that - think the BMM is going to be very much in demand!!
Do you wanna try my A1?
I'm intrigued by the A1!
@@Farrister so do you wanna try it? I can from like 4:45PM jerusalem time :D
@@Deinmannryan I will get the chance over the coming weeks, but thanks for offering
@@Farrister oh ok :D
When I finally get to a big ship, the Odyssey is my dream. Might get there by the time it's implemented?
Haha, maybe!
It is now 2032 & this ship is still in concept.🤣
No way this has only 2 main thrusters. The battle artwork shows a large, elongated thruster across the back so that is 3 (effectively 4). It also shows those front attached pods with thrust coming out of them bring the total up to a more realistic 5 (effectively 6). And what are those pods on the lower with the blue ring since they look like more thrusters?
I seriously considered switching from Carrack to Odyssey. The Carrack layout is fine if everyone is healthy and there isn't a major fight, however the shuttle bay is tiny and the only elevator that will fit a gurney is in the rear which makes patient transport from ground to medical bay circuitous.
I stayed with the Carrack due to the modular cargo bays and the drone bay.
Dont forget that the carrack got the scaner and cartography gameplay that the oddesy is missing. wich should put the carrack as the "better" deep space pure explorer. I was tempted to change to odyssey also, especialy as it looks much better(not a big fan of carracks outer visuals) but stayed for the carrack
When are ya going to do a review on the A1 Spirit?
F8 first!
@@Farrister completely forgot about the F8
The term “Carrick Killer” upon release was fairly quickly debunked with Q&A shortly after. I like the versatility of the odyssey but it won’t be as tanky or defensible as the Carrick.
can't wait to get mine.
Exciting!
Why does it have a rear spoiler? Is it going to race? What is its 0-60 time? Is it going to lecture me about family?
lol
Hi Farrister, I'm not sure where you are seeing the Odyssey only has 2 computers. Everything I can find says it has 4 computers. Is this an error or did you have some sort of update that I didn't see?
We need a Tiverian Sub Cap with these mechanics/ship build 💯🔥📈
Tivarian*
Would be interesting to see what such a ship would look like
@@Farrister oh man I'm actually glad you said that because there is such a ship 😏
So if you Google "The Garmur" it is a small missile "corvette/frigate" from another sci-fi space mmo called (Eve online) that I actually use late-game, and some of the unique design ques, engines and sleek bird themes feel very Tivarian, and if it looks any like that I'd be happy 📈👍🏻
Somebody knows when it will be available?
i mainly salvage, this is going to be my mobile scrap yard. with the vulture in the hangar. the odyssey serving are storage and refuel with the ability to fuel scoop and quantum refine.
That sounds awesome!
This ship does sound very interesting and fun, but we don't know when the ship will even come in. There's other ships ahead of it before it comes out.
Yup, so true for many...
I bought one.. im super excited
Whoop whoop, my ship!
Yay!
This looks amazing. Not sure I would want to trade up my Carrack though.
Carrack also pretty amazing :D
That is gorgeous!!
Absolutely
I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY ODYSSEY. My carrak is too stuffy.
Stuffy? lol
Wait, am i mixing this up with another ship? I thought this is the one eith the different external Attachments like the giant Radar dish or greenhouses...
I think sub-capitals (excluding freighters like the Hull-C) are a bit too big to be reasonable for my purposes, but if I were to go for one it would probably be the Odyssey.
Very excited for this ship, but hopefully blades are in the game before this so we can at least rely on having ai control the turrets for us for at least some basic protection.
Time will tell!
I want to hope that we're 2 or so years out but with the CitCon announcement regarding the focus on RSI ships for now I can see it being much longer. Particularly if they decide to focus on a different manufacturer after RSI that isn't MISC.
Time will tell, I suppose
I love to play games and watching your videos! 👍🏻
Yay :)
If i may suggest more moving pictures of the ship in the back 'ground at least, cause its a bit stale to just look at text about it in these videos...
Yeah, I've been toying with how I might do that, since any live footage wouldn't relate to the ship on the slides!
A complete home away from home? I would love that
Me too!
When can I buy one? :(
They often go up for sale a couple of times per year. I wouldn't be surprised to see it up for sale for Black Friday...
@@Farrister I'd absolutely melt my Hull C for one of these. Looks like its everything wrapped up in a really nice package!
Being that I prefer MISC, the Odyssey would be my end game ship instead of the Endeavor. I just hope they change the mining module to still mine everything.
The Endeavour is MISC, isn't it?
@@Farrister yes. That’s why I said “instead of the Endeavor”. The Odyssey seems more practical for fewer people.
Do a drydock of the hull series!
Big dog Hull E?
@@Farrister Yeah, might as well!
Nice like allways
Thanks :)
This video saved me a $50 upgrade to the Polaris 😂
haha
Love this ship
Cool All Purpose Ship You Got There
Sadly Though: *S P A C E T R U C K*
Haha
I got one as soon as it dropped.
I cant wait for this to release. I wont ever go back home, just leave in my odyssey
Living the dream!
I have an Odyssey via a CCU chain as it feels very overpriced as warbond for what you get. We just don't know its real capabilities at the moment as it doesn't really have any strengths unlike the Carrack. The Jump Point version had dedicated exploration facilities, such as the scanning room, but in the concept sale that was replaced with an utterly pointless viewing room with a small viewing slit. The stated role as a long range self sufficient exploration ship also seems flawed as its still tied to local re-supply for food etc, has no repair facilities, resupply or proper re-fueling capability for the small ship its carrying (hand fueling only), and no dedicated scanning facilities. I do like the internal structure as feels more like a ship you could live in. Definitely not a ship I'd recommend at the price until we know more about the final ship.
cant see us getting this any time soon sadly :(
Who knows :(
I really want the Odyssey
I don't like misc ships. But something about the role and design of this ship really has me wanting it
What is its role?
@SpaceDad42 its a all purpose exploration ship. Think the Carrack. It can mine and refine fuel if i remember correctly. Or at least carry a mobile mining vehicle like a ROC. A ship like the Odyssey would be invaluable in Pyro. Where fuel and supplies are scarcer. Its a safe bet for long distance expeditions with a crew
Will be my Cowboy Bebop type ship for an alt
That's cool :)
I never got the maximum crew. 6 is way too less. 1 pilot, 1 captain(maybe), 2 co pilots(maybe 1). no we are already if all is added at 4 people. laser beam and tractor beam adds another 2 people. engineer is another one. Maybe a pilot landed in your oddysey to get refueled or something, adds another one temporarily. now we are at 8 people. Realistically we would add at least 1 more to be able to use all 3 turrets at once(2 copilots and one other guy). now we are at 9. CIG really needs to add more beds in ships, like the reclaimer somehow only has 5, how? 2 beams, claw, pilot, 2 turrets, engineer, box sorter. Wayyy more than 5!
I think some people will double up. Eg when using the mining laser, it's probably a turret gunner using it.
@@Farrister Thats probably it, but in real life the pilot of a plane is only the pilot. Not the cook as a second job. If they want to make a realistic game, every place has to have their own person and bed.
This is pretty true of all their ships, really. They never have enough berths for all the needed hands. What's more, CIG's ship designs make it clear that they have no ex-sailors on their ship teams nor anyone at all who understands the concept of watch standing. At best with their berthing accommodations, you could have a port-and-starboard watch cycle with the crew hot-bunking like on submarines. But none of their ships have enough berths to accommodate a three or four-section watch cycle nor even just a regular port-and-starboard watch without having to hot bunk.
I want the odessey! And it had better be available with in game currency.
Is it just me? Or do most cap ships look far too similar?
Upcoming ship, Farrister?
Come on, that'll be the last ship they do before the Endeavor!
Im seriously considering melting my galaxy for this ship
Oh that's an interesting choice!
It’s Pretty Cute
Doesn’t Look like The Best First Chonk Ship to Debut
More Like The 3rd
Sad
This reads like a Haiku lol
i just hate the mail slot style window - especially with an exploration ship
I dunno, I'll reserve judgment until I see it. They specifically mention it in the Q&A!
yeah i am really hoping they break that habit since i have one of these in my hangar @@Farrister
They did state the odyssey could not fit a prospector in the hanger bay.
Oh damn, where? It's listed on the Q&A as fits
They said all size 1 ships - which includes the Prospector - fit.
I think these Drydock series should be changed to show more video on the background. It doesn't even need to be of the ship being presented. It's hard to keep attention on a pp slideshow.
Yeah I've been grappling with that, the challenge as you say would be that it would be of a different ship. Maybe I'll give it a try with semi transparent footage, a bit like a projector on a wall type thing
POLARIS NEXT PLEASE
Already done! ua-cam.com/video/Oi2srMnwT10/v-deo.html
THank you
I've been in two minds about the Odyssey from the start. I want to like it BUT there is thing about it that say NO don't get one Vs the Carrack the t2 med bed is a downgrade. the ship hanger is the same size ? but if they let you mine and refine and store other materials along with QT and Hyd fuel . Then I can see its worth . out and about doing what ever mining ores storing for sale later repair refuel the fighter F8c Cough LOL would be great . Sticking the turrets on to blades to fend off the small fighters.
I will wait till its out and all the stuff is fully known and if I get to see one in game will help making my mind up, but at this time the Odyssey isnt for me
I think many of these backers need to put away the Romanticism, use some common sense and realize nobody wants another day job. Its a generous gesture buying for the community, because chuck, your not buying them for yourself. Seeing these ships reach fruition solo is a plushie hugging impossible pipe dream. The BMM which so many of us have for braggin rights alone, yet its a shopping centre, now that sounds thrilling, it really does.
PS: the planning, support and maintenance of the BMM will amaze many, that alone Capitals and an Orion.
I myself have had to do some restructuring over this IAE, perspective was the main goal, ''foremost, buy for myself and don't become a generous benefactor to the community '', its my money im spending, my time im giving , to a game, not a good cause. If some one decides to give Capital ships to the community, so be it and god bless them.
Lol
Little too much ship for me
But very cool all the same
That's fair!
Another small group/Org Ship
Yup!
For an org this ship is kinda useless. Carrack is far superior as a scout and as a wormhole mapper and can handle all planet negative effects. On top of 3 modules that are self sustained and can be droped off as a movile base for example. On top of drones repairbay etc.
Maybe - gotta wait until it's released to find out more!
Pair it with an Endeavour and….
this video could be 5 years old and it would still be the same content. nothing against you but I'm tired of waiting.
Well this specific one could only be 2 years old, but yes, I sympathise with the sentiment. I've had a ship in my hangar for nearly 9 years now...
