STAR CITIZEN - BLURRING THE LINE BETWEEN DROPSHIP/GUNSHIP - ANVIL VALKRYIE 

Star Citizens Anvil Valkyrie is a dropship/gunship which I really enjoy, very versatile and tough i expect to see this ship at the forefront of many operations in the future as the game develops. But what do you guys think ? As always let me know down below!!

I have pledged and melted the Valkyrie 3 times. Love the look and how it flies. Unfortunately, it desperately needs a Hull HP boost/better armour/ larger shields to make it worth the Price

I put a Nursa and Pulse in mine and do bunker missions. Im glad CIG has stated they know its shields are an issue and will fix it. Plus when life support homes out, it'll have a high capacity.

In my opinion, the Valk is one of the coolest ships in SC! I bought an upgrade from Valk to Galaxy and I truly do know if I will be able to follow through with it when the time comes. When armor comes into play, this ship is going to be a beast! I do hope when it gets a gold pass (some day) they seal off the crew quarters from the hanger bay.

375 might be worth it, if it had higher top speed, better pilot guns and large shields.

It needs a fair bit of rework IMO. The crew compartment without an airlock to separate it from the cargo bay is plain absurd. Put a couple of bullet proof glasses instead of a stupid railing and add the airlock to the ladder C2 style. It's a space ship, not a Huey Helicopter in Vietnam. Another thing I don't like is that such a big ship SHOULD have a second pilot: remove the top turret seat, make it remote and place the gunner right after the pilot, to get control of weapons, systems and rockets but also to take over if something bad happens to the pilot in the front. This being said I can live with the rest.

Take the Left and Right guns, and the bottom manned turret, move them to the front in the form of a chin turret. Add a WSO seat. Allow that forward turret to either function as a gimballed forward weapon for the pilot or as a full remote turret for the WSO, along with a light missile or rocket loadout for the WSO or the top turret gunner. Upgrade the shields (they are terrible compared to other similar sized ships.) Airlock the crew compartment. Reshape the cargo deck to accommodate a Centurion or Nova. Fix the field of fire for the window guns. Fix the jump seats. Long term make a medevac version and a Command version.

Absolutely love my Valkyrie, looking forward to the gold standard pass on it. My friends love it when I fly her, and we routinely multi crew her in hard vacuum and for bunker missions.

I got a Valkyrie as a step in a CCU chain to the Prowler, but I love it so much that I ended up keeping it. It's far more useful than the Prowler, and who knows, if modularity is ever implemented, it may have even more functionality.

it would be cool if they would allow your multitool tractor beam attach to the underside of the wings so you could repel down

It’s a great looking ship, I really wish I could justify its hefty price tag to add to my permanent fleet, but I just can’t. I hope they uprate the shields on it as a military drop ship, as it makes no sense it’s not got kick ass shields.

I love this ship. I primarily use it for Roc mining and running bunkers. When fully crewed, it can be a formidable adversary but mostly meant for ground operations. The power vtol engines are perfect for coming in fast and landing safe. Cant wait for the gold standard pass. It needs stronger shields and a bit more pilot controlled dps. Great video. I appreciate the pacing of your breakdown Well done.

I just wish CIG would make it more versatile by adding variants to the game. Off the top of my head it’s the only ship in its size category that doesn’t have any variants. Not many people need a drop ship but switch the drop seats out for meaningful cargo space and boom, now a practical ship for the average SC player. I love the aesthetics but for me it’s a completely useless ship unless I’m using it as a bunker hoper. I just really hope cig makes a variant or two for it

Valkyrie needs it gold pass, just too many design flaws. No airlock from cargo bay Small shields, slow Pilot should have 4 gun control like all other big ships ( move wingtip turret guns to pilot control ) Correct the cargo bay height to allow Spartan to drive in and not clip.( Military dropship should have its military APC ) Remove some chairs and add a med bed to allow immediate medical assistance to any injured soldiers ( this is what a military drop ship would do ) Especially considering the pledge price Great ship and coolest looking, interior for cockpit is cool

I love this ship. Until recently it was just the cool thing that I would take down to bunkers. But I finally got some of my friends to get the game and now when they complain about the grind, I take them bunker running with this thing (ik it’s not the best way to make $$$ but it’s fun with friends)

Health & Safety is going to be much less of a concern in a world with cloning.

It needs glass or shields near the top deck… you open that thing up between shifts and it’s game over for everyone on board.

Know if this could fit in the Idris? With its combat briefing room, med bay and armoury, it seems fitting...

Parachutes. We need them bad. Then this ship becomes a platform for halo insertions.

I love the look, but I think it handles just a little too unwieldy at the moment. It feels a touch too sluggish for me. I'm hoping armor will compensate for that.

Warning light works when the ship is severely damaged.

"GET IN....GET OUT....DEPLOY...DESTROY"

To be honest, RSI slept on the importance of NPCs being an option for players to have them man torrents and be capable of piloting the ship. It helps bring deepen immersion and is a good replacement for when human players aren't available or players choose to be solo. They could have invested time with creating a platoon sized combat element to board dropships in the game where the mission is for the player to ferry them into combat and provide support while the NPC ground force attack targets. Having specific NPCs dedicated to specific ships where they are specifically designed to essentially be part of the ship and capable of following orders would have made this game incredible. The Valkyrie should have come with 4 NPCs as crew when the ship is ordered or the player could have the choice to have a non-NPC ship for a slightly lower price. All the crew sized ships should have been that way.

Those side guns have a terrible field of fire from what it looks like. The gun should be able to swing to middle of door at the least.

"I don't like the dim lights waaaah", ok let me lay it out for you civvies who dont understand military vehicles and operating protocol, in a crewed vehicle such as a naval warship or in this case, the spaceship, a brightly lit interior 1) robs its personnel of the ability to see well enough in dim light or darkness after being exposed to said brightly lit environments, 2) a brightly lit ship in darkened nighttime environments would bleed out of any open doors and as the valkyrie IS a dropship with multiple points of egress out of the ship any bright lights would only make you into a glowing beacon of a target in the night. Think before you speak or speak not of which you know nothing... Semper Fortis 🖖🏾

"Kill everything to death" nice. I'm a grammar Nazi. Just kidding.

Right now its not worth it, it dies really damn fast due to its huge size u cant miss it when u shoot at it. it cant do the bigger ground vehicle eithers. once armor gets implimented it might be worth it, sertainly want one

So the fact ya cant change anything but Pilot guns Suuuuucks. Seems its a Bug for awhile. Hoping they fix as I do love the ship.

Is this game playable? It seems people either love it or hate it. No in-between at all.

I literally cant stand the amount of neglect this ship gets from CIG. It could be such a great and versitile ship (especially for pyro) with just some minor changes like pilot slaving the 2 size 3 weapons on the wing tips or giving it an actually usable cargo grid (make it double or triple stack for 60 or 90 SCU) but as of right now this wonderful ship is just utterly useless.

Too bad it's basically useless without armor in the game.
