I bought one last IAE and love it. It needs a real bathroom for guests besides the rework for the bridge and crew quarters. Don't forget it comes with the Lynx!
Just a quick additional note - while getting the Phoenix in game is definitely the easier/economical way to get the ship, you do miss out on the free RSI Lynx that comes bundled with the Phoenix if you get it through the pledge store. Not necc a deal-breaker for most, but worth mentioning!
With the PDC finally working, and the video confirming PDC"s will be reserved for capital-size ships, i expect this to be a bit more popular this IAE than usual as what may be the only small ship with a PDC.
Amazing ship. So much utility in a sexy-as-hell package. Easily my favourite Daily Driver. Just wish they'd swap the hot-tub to something, y'know... decent :D
Expected to see a bedroom.. interior (a room with that king sized bed inside) but only saw a bed in this video but other than that a nice video as always.
I've never been a fan of the Constellation ships. They just don't appeal to me, personally. If I were to ever acquire one it would likely be the Phoenix, though I would prefer the cockpit was the one from the Constellation Aquila.
Love your quick walk through reviews man. I go back and forth between this and the Andromeda for a little more ease of use for current gameplay. I picked up an Emerald pack a few years back so I buy it back sometimes to enjoy.
Heh, the phoenix is literally luxury in the skies. Hopefully the Connie series gets a gold standard passes soon. Put omniskys on there, and you’re good.
Desperately want to grab this on the 26th (can probably tell by my name but I love Phoenix's), but with it being the only ship in it's size class with a PDC I can see it being a tough one to grab this year.
If I buy a Phoenix, will you be my chauffeur? You'll have to share the single tiny bathroom with the rest of the crew AND the passengers, though. Maybe that's why the cover on the hot tub is locked . . .
That's very odd. They did fix the cargo grid and this is a daily driver for me, often for transporting refined ores or RMC when I'm mining or salvaging, so cargo is a bit part of what I use the Phoenix for. Maybe if you buy it back it would be fixed? If not I'd say open an Issue Council report for it and maybe they can see why your account in particular is having that issue
10:06 this is the main reason i dont like the interior design of the other constellations, Phoenix has the same SCU than Andromeda or Aquila, so its a waste of space that could room a better interior layout to other variants (Taurus too being the cargo version +10meters long would be better a second floor to hold special valuable cargo or something like this) I mean i have an andromeda and i love the ship, but the interior loadyout has too much wasted space
Actually the Phoenix has less SCU than the Andromeda or Aquila. It's only 80 instead of 96 because you can't fit that extra 1 SCU layer on top (because that space is taken up by the passenger floor above it.) There are still spaces where I agree, however, that space could be better utilized. I guess we'll see what happens when they get around to updating it
Connie Phoenix, one of the most practical luxury ships in the game.
The Nursa fits in the cargo bay. So you add respawn as well.
Great idea!
Nice one. And in the newest CIG video its "confirmed" its getting an actual update :O cant wait
Is it all Connie’s or just this one?
@@rashonkelly3598All
@@rashonkelly3598They never specified the phoenix alone, just that the Connies would be getting some love so safe to assume all

Considering you get a dnubfighter and a Ursa family ground vehicle along with the ship, the Phoenix provides a lot of bang for the buck.
Great luxury passenger ship... Without a single toilet for all the passengers... :)
The connie lin is iconic!

Wow this ship is cool! Adventure then kick back and have a drink. Lol
The only way you can get the bathroom to open currently is to use the open all doors keybind
The Connies are iconic Star Citizen and I can't wait for the gold standard pass on all of them.
yeeeh! the table finally works ! we all waited for this magical moment XD
EvenLease is going hard on the reviews and I'm all for it keep up the great work.
Thank you! Will do!

Hahah true! It is an amazing ship.
I love my Connie party barge. I'm glad to see that they fixed the snub so it's dockable again. Small correction: the cargo capacity is 96.
I love your channel, those 10 minute reviews are the best, I download them and listen to them while I work greetings from Mexico
Thank you!
Expected to see a bedroom.. interior (a room with that king sized bed inside) but only saw a bed in this video but other than that a nice video as always.
they need to rework the entire ship to "luxury"
this is a neat ship so im glad theres an updated vid on it

Thank you!
Thank you for making this video!
love all the new reviews! thinking of buying a taurus, first was thinking about the 400i, but don't know about it in it current state
Thank you! Yeah all origin ships are in pretty poor condition :(
@@EvenLease44 yeah, it is like cig realy hates origin with a passion
I own the Phoenix, just to flex 😎
Nice flex!!
Awesome review man. I really like your review style - cordial and insightful.
Thank you so much!

Going to buy one on Tuesday. Stunning ship.
Just remember these are considered "limited" and I hear they sell out fast, so be ready with that F5 key to get it! :D

Sweet ship that is
Upgrading an unmeltable 400i (64% off) to Phoenix? What do you think?
I have one with an unactivated ccu to the Genesis Starliner. Love the ship but she is old and needs a rework
I'm a little late to the video but hello. and thank you for another ship review.
Thank you for watching it!
If I buy a Phoenix, will you be my chauffeur? You'll have to share the single tiny bathroom with the rest of the crew AND the passengers, though. Maybe that's why the cover on the hot tub is locked . . .
Are… are you pico? This feels very pico…
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH !!
Makes me happy to know that! Thank you!
the Phoenix can carry the cyclone storm tank barely :D
No since the table works, the toilet does not work any more.... so its was not just this time...
I melted mine. For some reason mine has NO cargo grid. Like not even on top where the bugged one is in other connies. Mine just has none.
That's very odd. They did fix the cargo grid and this is a daily driver for me, often for transporting refined ores or RMC when I'm mining or salvaging, so cargo is a bit part of what I use the Phoenix for.

@zarlorz I've done both of those things with no luck. I haven't checked in the last month or so though so I may try again here shortly.
I love these ships but the pilot window view bars completely kills it for me
Yeah the bars need to be removed.
I want this ship!
It’s a nice ship.
I wish I could get this ship but each year I try, to no avail...

New even lease on my break?!?!?!
Sounds like a good break to me!
Connie Bridge is the biggest fail of the whole series, it needs a rework to restore this ships status to a wow factor like when it was 1st introduced
legit just opened yt just to see a new 10 Minutes More or Less Ship Review. Lets goo!
Here on the dot!
