As an owner, the biggest utility for the Liberator comes in the simplicity of the design layout for its actual crew; it seems designed around the core concepts of the upcoming engineering system, which would make running “similar” ships like the Carrack or 890J significantly more complicated than currently, while the Liberator would be just fine. It would also serve as a safe harbor for smaller ships to return to between contracts, extending how long fighters could run missions between full rearm/repair visits to a station or port would be required
I was just thinking about pledging for one of these when the opportunity raises. I've been looking for a ship that has large amounts of cargo and can carry a vulture. This, to me, is potentially a great salvage platform
What about the anvil crucible ? it could use the salvage materials for repairs, you would own a whole industry line this way, 100% of the repair price goes straight into your pocket. Tt's smaller but the hangar may be one size bigger (didn't verified, i'm pretty sure it's bigger now than before). Edit: it's a lot cheaper also, you can get a second vulture at this price or an F7C MK2. Edit2: the liberator can't do repairs others than manualy, the crucible can repair up to anything.
@@axelmousti5812 I do have the crucible... And I think that it's going to be the higher end of repair. The liberator offers double the storage space, ground vehicle access... It feels more like a mobile fob with a swiss army knife approach to what might be needed.
@@MichaelDBruce Crucible can do all that the Lib do, it's just smaller but as you say it's the higher end of repair. If you like to own both even just "because" it's totaly fine btw. SC ships are not some kind of shady business buying ships sustain the game industry progress, you can be proud of owning ships, no matter the reason, even if it's selfish.
@spaceman-PIN - she actually has two point defense turrets and the secondary is rear underbelly along with 4 bespoke launchers - not defenseless underneath or rear! I own this ship and am more excited for this than anything else. The versatility is amazing..crew count..amazing...
ADDENDUM: There is a 3rd point defense turret on the rear underbelly of the ship that i somehow missed! my aplologies! The Anvil Liberator a great capital ship with a great degree of versatiltiy, this ship will certainly be useful in a variety of roles depending on your particular proffesion and how you choose to operate this ship. I look forward to its arrival,but what do you guys think? As always let me know down below!!
This is one ship I hope to be in a lot once we have it and a few systems in the game. Not sure where you saw it labeled as a cap ship but it is a large ship, slightly bigger than a C2. Smallest cap is the Polaris per CIG.
It's going to be a great ship for sure but I'm pretty sure no one has ever called this a capitol ship! Nothing about it is capitol. Basically no capitol size components means no capitol ship.
this reminds me of the Intrepid of wing commander 4. small underdog carrier, can not really compete with the state of the art carriers, but has to rely on its daring fighter pilots.
Was literally just in Starjump Fleet Viewer making jpgs of my fleet and started fantasizing about the Liberator again. It may end up being my most piloted ship. For an industrial transport I think it'll be nuts. A couple Vultures dropping off RMC crates and loading the crates into the cargo hold would be so fun! For mining and refining too...a Prospector and an Expanse traveling together would be insane.
This has been my end-all dream ship for a while. I see myself using it as a base to do long term industrial stuff like salvage/repair/mining. With persistence I'll be able to land it and it will function as my home away from home. I can also see myself shuttling people between systems and charging players money to move all their stuff. This ship def checks all the boxes for how I like to play the game. I've managed to CCU up to a Railen so I'm halfway there.
Haha…. between what systems? And have you ever had a 30k, or just magically got ejected into space or accidentally dropped a water bottle and blew your ship up? I’m thinking this ship will just be the focus of ‘new’ same old issues.
@@zerolegacy7821 It will be 2-3 years at least before the liberator comes out, and that’s generous. My guess is more like 5. Pyro will also be out long before the liberator, plus there are other systems that aren’t in the PU because CIG is waiting until SQ42 releases before adding them to the PU. I have had 30Ks many times but not any recently, maybe I’m just lucky. I have also never had a bottle cause my ship to explode and I’ve been playing consistently since 2019. I really don’t see the point of your cynicism.
@@TheAustinaxelsen Well I don't see the point in your optimism. This company has made it CRYSTAL CLEAR they are more concerned with creating content they can monitize rather than content long term players can enjoy. I've been playing longer than you so maybe you still smell that new car smell but I not only have been here longer, I've done my research. I've followed Chris Roberts since the 80's my friend and I can tell you, he doesn't complete anything without outside direction and now that he does not have that... he will keep this game in limbo for as long as he wants... great for him and my grand kids but not for ME... I want to play the game BEFORE I'm in an old folks home and I want it to work at least 50% of the time.
Daaaaaaamn! That’s my ship. I have so many plans for the Lib. Mining, salvage, small carrier…. So many things. Perseus is my other baby. Can’t wait for either. Now I’m gonna point out you missed the 3 turret, which is on the bottom. Also, here’s a point a lot of people miss. There’s lots of cool ships coming. But crew is key. Everyone wants a Polaris….. but it takes minimum 7 while the Perseus takes 3. Liberator takes 2. There’s a reason we don’t see many Hammerheads. You simply can’t get a full crew.
I got one of those in my hangar waiting to be released. Will be a good mobile harbor for my small salvage operations org. Hopefully will be a lot faster then the vulture’s qd.
It's going to be a great support ship especially in places like Pyro as a hauler and assault transport or patrol carrier. When hauling you put the important cargo and vehicles inside and your escorts can save fuel by staying parked on top deck. In long haul fleets smaller ships can take breaks AFK without the fleet stopping to wait for them and keep moving if there;s room on top deck. You will also be able to pack these with a bunch of snub fighters like the Fury.
You can pack it with a bunch of Hull A as well, all fitting in the hangar. You can also carry a prospector, an expanse, or a SRV and a Vulture, or even a Vulcan. Plenty of uses in remote systems "IF..." CIG will ever implement them.
I keep coming back to this video because this has become my most wanted ship. Its ability to ferry multiple ship types, vehicles and cargo is literally everything that I need. I love the sandbox elements of SC and carrying all of my "toys" in one ship is such a QoL upgrade. I really want to be able to carry a prospector and a vulture and store the extra mining bags so I can go out into the verse have access to both with plenty of storage for all the scrap I find. Now the real challenge is the waiting game for this thing. Unless they announce Anvil as the next manufactuer, I wont see one of my dream ships any time soon :(
I'd love a speciallest mining and salvaging operation variety. Including a priority load/unload facility or bay that can auto-store ore bags or crates of salvage. That would be an awesome addition IMO!
Perhaps you can turn on an energized surface, to prevent locking to the ground. Or in other words, a repulsor technology, that would push off any thing try to be placed on it (ship, players feet, containers)
Soon as I found out the ship lifting limitations of my C2, I swapped it for the Lib. Luckily the M2 is a loaner. If a vulture or prospector can fit on board, it could be a workhorse ship.
i have it on pledge when it first came out. its a great ship, tho im not going to use it for combat, ill be using it as a mobile home platform. or even just a "home", stationed somewhere. and act like a small one stop shopping or to refuel if someone comes around. and be like a small spot for a small community to live in.
Just the Vid I've been waiting for. Been on the fence about it a long time and now I believe I have all the info I need to make a Well-Informed Purchase. Great Stuff. 👌😎🚬
With a Kraken and two liberators we can scale up or down for so many different missions . I just can't see ever landing a Kraken so these are great as ferries also .
I wish they would have scaled it to fit a pair of Vultures or Moles on the top deck. Being an industrial player, it would be great to take one of those out to a Hammerhead salvage contract and fit all the hull strip and all the guns and any elicit cargo all in one run with room for probably 4 or more of them in one go. I guess I'm imagining it as a player owned mobile station just about, which it isn't designed for, but makes me want a mobile station but the capital size is a bit intimidating for smaller groups.
By the time they actually release this, I hope there will be a dozen screens in cockpit or something and you can pan your view to see what's around you. Just a guess because yeah this will be hard asf to land quickly for those of us that don't waste time with outside view
I think this ship is incredibly cool but ultimately I didn't get it because the hull of the ship feels wasted not having a cargo grid. I totally understand it holds the 400 SCU off to one of the sides but I feel like the entire hull should have a grid and be able to utilize the landing pads on the top for defense. This would have given it an actual purpose other then taking ships down to a planet surface and that's it. I think that it MIGHT be useful for a salvage storage operation for a team of vultures. But i dont see it being useful for mining considering the ships in the pipeline for that game loop.
One error, if you check the holo veiwer under the rear ramp is a second automated turret. So one above and one below plus the manned turret. The manned turret is size 5's which if you have ballistics can kill a fighter in two shots. So if the pilot leaves to defend the ship with a fighter, the rest of the turrets can make life hard on attackers dogfighting with your fighter.
This is about as useful as rolling carts... We have zero exploration (one system) but plenty of time to build more useless ships... Thanks CIG. What a company...
I expect this to release sometime after pyro. Pyro will be 4 times the size of our current system so this ship is one of the few ships that can carry multiple hornet sized ships and its design is pretty basic because it has a lot of open space for its landing pads. I feel like this is gonna be a very useful ship, CIG needs to stop making ground vehicles and single seater fighters, ships like this will be needed once we get a new system.
As Dakkadakka was saying. Even if they stopped at Pyro, we'd still need long range transport for 99% of the ships in the game. The Liberator is the bargain Kraken
I like the idea of it, not the form. I saw a picture with the control tower version, it looks alot better. In combination with other ships it would be great not a platform used alone. Maybe you can space-whale with it but it has to say Research on the side..
I despair of ever seeing this thing ever released. Thinking about CIG's difficulties in actually making and releasing complicated ships has made me wish they'd found ways to crowdsource the ship creation process. If they had some marketplace where community members could submit for approval and then ultimately sell their own ship creations, sharing the profits with CIG, then everyone would benefit and we'd see some exciting competition in ship design.
Have these guys really not learned anything from Bethesda?! Community can massively boost any game, but I get the feeling chris roberts wants to control everything too much and toilets have to pass rigorous approval process
@@jkline398 I fear the day they add the need to use toilets, because surely the ones in our ships won't work for years and our only options will be a handful in inconvenient locations in stations.
The more I look at this ship, the less appeal it has. I drooled over this thing for years, then I started wondering why they made the deck so small! Please, we need a FLAT deck we can put whatever we want on it. If it sits, it fits! But this thing looks like it's relegated to light fighters or small ships only. Not the freedom I'll need :((
Why add more ships when there’s no reason for them? With all the money they made, this single player game they are working on better not be a flop. Most people I know only care about the PU. Unfortunately, the PU is locked behind technology and just isn’t progressing.
