13:40 I'm personally pretty excited and curious to see how the Starlancer TAC turns out. I think a lot of people are mistaking what the ship is designed for. The TAC is not a space combat ship. It is designed to function as an orbital assault ship. The TAC will have the ability to carry an Ursa rover, it will have a twin S5 turret on either side of the ship in door-gunner positions, it will have dropseats for 8, it will have 2 medbeds, and it will have a hangar to accomodate *maybe* 2, definitely 1 Fury snub fighter, in addition to the other features it shares with the MAX. What this allows is the TAC to accomodate, transport, insert, support, and extract a squad of 8 soldiers and an Ursa, and support them on the ground using the Fury and it's own onboard firepower. The TAC will provide a complete, fleshed-out orbital assault capability, a heavy dropship. We do have other dropships in the game, but we don't have dropships that are as big or provide as many options as the Starlancer TAC. The TAC is completely self-contained, it can do everything by itself, using everything it brought with it. So I'm anticipating that it will be very popular with ground combat enthusiasts and orgs.
Would be funny to have unarmed combat competitions on that walkway while in Quantum. Anyone wants to challenge to be captain? Grr.. 💪😉😂 Seriously I like this ship a lot, not the meta type gameplay a lot of people are looking for but it gets you in the character of being a long distance trader or hauler. It’s got that charm to it.

I think you are imagining things. Orbital assault, wtf?
@ikapustiv The act of placing troops onto a planet, yes. It's not a new concept, amphibious forces today provide the same role, but in atmosphere.
I'm completely with you on the letterbox window Bob. Does my head in! 😆
Very cool, cant wait for the ingame expo!
I love this ship, I even like the view (call me crazy), where they failed though is in not placing a tractorb in cargo bay to control from cockpit.
I'm liking the new MFDs on this recent ptu patch tho. Very clean looking now and makes the view better out the window.
This will also be replacing my msr and 400i as my "off grid" camper
