The Retaliator has been fun to fly. It looks and sounds amazing and the cargo modules are not half bad. If only it had a couple of pilot controlled guns!!
As a happy Vanguard owner I love the heavy fighter, the XL-1 drive makes it an insanely good daily driver for a bunker and ground mission runner like me who occasionally likes to face a few ships to blow up in space. It can tank a LOT of damage even once the shield drops. And can nurse it home even with most of the ship missing if things went south. As a solo player it is definitely my ultimate choice ^^
Titan Renegae has a blue-yellow skin PLUS an all ballistic loadout, providing slightly higher DPS, whereas the Titan Avenger comes with 2x lasers and a ballistic nose. Probably be keeping my Warlock through to year end balances, but still hankering after replcing my Hawk, And I'm not a pirate! Honestly... i'll even guard your ship whilst you're buying stock.
I pledged for the Avenger Stalker as soon as it was announced in 2013 for the look mostly, I find it super sleek and stylish (except when they changed the wings texture for those ugly hexagons, fuck it's so ugly) and also because it was promoted as bounty hunter ship. Using it now in live, I'm mixed, still dig the look 100% but its living interior is lacking "in the verse amenities" for long trips or some useful and smart interior design. The Stalker, with its cells, is not the most useful in term of floor space. I wish it goes up the queue for modularity and we can swap the cells for a regular Titan cargo hold, as well as maybe get some foldable seats in the process, like the ones the Drake Cutlass or just two seatings for passengers like the ones in the C8 Pisces. A rear flood light would be helpful, on top of the cargo ramp as well as landing lights, pointed at the ground. And my last wish (it could be a balance issue or controversial), the ability to swap missiles pods for gun pods, that would be sick !
Great video, I love to see those Star Citizen ships, for the next ones could you add a little bit more of cockpit time, not much just a look around ND from pilot's view of the cockpit.
Meanwhile I still find hard to make enough money to purchase my first ship in-game. I wonder how long it will take to buy all the ships I like (not too many tbh, but still) and how much it will cost to pay insurance for all of them (though something tells me that I'll never have to worry about that, I won't live long enough to see it).
I strongly agree with you, but the CIG terms for this stuff and particularly their Ship Matrix on the website are famously out of date (the more common name for the matrix is "The Matrix of Lies").
Sabres - different loadouts, not just paints. Standard Sabre = 4x Panthers Lasers. Sabre Comet = 2 x Omnisky IX lasers + 2x Pyroburst laser scatterguns, providing higher DPS & much more Alpha damage... if you can get close enough to saturate your target.
@@Fractal379 I’m not sure if I said it in this one but I don’t tend to focus on the stock loadouts unless (like some of the alien ships) they are unique weapons / components that you can’t buy. The more important thing is the hard points to my mind.
@@LoudGuns No prob, was just trying to help those on a smaller budget who may have a taste for stock ballistics - my new addiction. Great series btw, I've watched them all so far (and loads of yr stuff ofc) and am bracing myself for what you may say about my 600i. Small thing, big thing - thanks for not shoving your face into every video like many content creators seem fond of doing. 👍🍺
Thanks for putting this together, I plan to share these with friends that are interested in the game. I am looking forward to the rear part of the Avenger being modular. I know the store tells us the different "variants" have included modules. With modularity here, we have all we need to get the Avenger updated to gold standard (hopefully). I have a spare referral ship waiting to be upgraded - I'd gladly throw down a few bucks to upgrade a STV to a Titan once they confirm its retaining modularity. 🙂
Eventually in game (at live release) I fully expect big combat capitals to be into the billions of UEC. I think they’ll be more an org purchase than an individual one.
Very well done and presented just one little mistake the 4 seats in the Redeemer are crew seats as per John Crew, there may be a dropship module added later as the ship is modular but that is currently not planned.
The main Advantage of the Vanguards and the Redeemer as well as the Retaliator is their good standard Equipment especially regarding the QT drive! After a wipe or as soon as you only get the stock ship back from the insurance claim you are directly good to go. Cheers Sky
