I wish a lot of the RU-vidrs made "for real" videos like this one especially for the newer community that is possibly going to get sucked in like us that were in from the kickstarter. The only people that are going to have a problem with this video are the ones that already have buyer's remorse and are fighting to defend it.

Thanks! While I regularly chastise CIG's marketing for what it lacks, they excel at selling the boat dream to players. I also think it highlights a major fault in the CIG logic behind the whole dream: I love the idea of a 1:1 space life, but I am also the kind of person who enjoys playing a study simulator. The whiplash in the community on eating in Star Citizen has been interesting - if the majority of people play video games to escape real life, is it really best to implement a video game that closely resembles it? Most players in the Verse want to own fleets like Jay Leno - but if CIG makes SC 1:1 will that really be possible for the masses? Does that bode well for a game? All things we'll see. Thanks again for the great comment!

@@Leadnap I have to say, at first while listening to you unpack what "1:1" could entail, I was like nope. But after finishing the video and thinking about it, it sounds a lot better than the alternative. Before watching this series of your videos I'd figured that I'd never be able to just buy my way into being Capt. Kirk (to use your analogy) and that I'll just join an org to scratch that itch. But I'd like to see this reinforced through gameplay mechanics because it makes it a lot more realistic...owning that boat should be a giant PITA that requires the support or collaboration of multiple people. It plays into CIG's design philosophy of encouraging collaborative play.

When I was a teenager my father bought a 26' long boat to go fishing on the great lakes. I admit that we did have some fun and make some memories. But with the money that he spent on that boat, we could have chartered every one of those fishing trips and still had money to spare. Now that boat is rotting in a pole barn in northern Michigan. My plan for Star Citizen is to have Freelancer DUR with an efficient quantum drive and do light long haul cargo and exploration. It's the only ship I need to have.

@Leadnap

I think the "between the lines here" message was very much have the friends to play on your big ships with you. The big ships are important and fun - but I worry for the folks out there buying them up like collectors items without thinking of what it will take to enjoy them.

I would currently be completely into owning one of the large science vessels and taking a few friends to go look around, but you stated how I felt about fuel/jump times along with not knowing how “large” cig wants to make the universe. I will say on the upside for pirates would be the auto creation of cargo lanes due to the need to buy fuel and having such limited fuel sources/ locations if cig does make many systems that require externally long jump times

@parkerxgps
@parkerxgps 4 года назад
All my ships are economic based, making each other more versatile and profitable. I only have one ship with a crew capacity larger than one hand that can still run a skeleton crew. And that one is basically my lynchpin. Only the one ship will be really hampered by playing solo. I may not have a combat ship but that doesn't mean I won't in game. I don't much envy people that have fleets of capital ships already. Hopefully CIG tells us enough about what the game is going to do, for most to feel like they can plan out well. I just hope we knew we could plan on a small and medium option to choose from, in each profession, before release.

You just made sooooo many people get that gut wrenching feeling of buyer's remorse. I have been greatly considering cutting down to two medium ships and selling off excess on the Grey or to friends. The largest ship I own is a Cat so I've followed your philosophy in this vid for the last year. My motivation for down sizing is to make aquiring other ships a goal to drive game play. As usual, when you have something to say, it is worth saying.
@Leadnap
@Leadnap 4 года назад
Thanks! If you would have asked me at the start of the series if this was what I was going to say I would have given a different answer. However when I read comments, discuss with others and frame how I would explain something to new players I arrived here. On ship buying in game as well, yes it is something to aspire to achieve in game but furthermore like I said at the end - if you have the economic power to buy a hammerhead, you likely will have the economic power to fly it too.

For the foreseeable I am just fine being a Han. My org is great and we have plenty of large ships for current needs and even probably enough to take care of us shortly after release. Do I want a Polaris? You bet your bottom aUEC I do! I want a big ol' Kraken too! But I've set those up as far flung goals for myself because right now I have no use for something that big and neither does my org. My current goals right now are Hawk(I just love it), a Warden, Cutty Blue, Ares Inferno, and further down the line a Tali or Eclipse. I'll be set for what I want to do and have the base fleet to both enjoy myself up to release as well as helping my org out. Great video and really looking forward to seeing the upcoming ones!

You have the same thoughts as I do regarding fleet building. I look around in disbelief at all these concierge backers who show off what looks like a ship catalogue and think to myself, "Boy I hope you have LTI with that lot, mate! Because covering the costs of all those when you're just running one of them at a time is going to hurt." Meanwhile, any time I mock up a wish list for myself, I hit about eight ships (nearly half consisting of ground vehicles) and I'm done . Was this video also asking for suggestions for a December giveaway? There was a moment there where it sounded like that. My suggestion: 2020 is still looking like "The Year of Crusader" (I'm still hopeful we'll get some version of Orison by the end of Q4), so on that note the Mercury Star Runner and C2 Hercules Starlifter offer a couple of options depending on your budget. Both look like solid choices that anyone would be thrilled to win.

I agree that medium ships will be more useful. I do have one large ship, a Banu Merchantman, but I hope it will be manageable with a few people. I was thinking of a circuit where I use ships and leave one behind to unload, etc as I take another to where another is located, rinse and repeat. Something like that. Maybe start off small with some box missions to build up some capital and go from there.

Awesome video . My giveaway suggestion is a corsair. I know it isn't big expensive , but it goes a long with this video . It has guns in the pilot hands , it can travel distance and a solo to small crew like a duo or trio can really put it to work. Second . I have a carrack but stuff like you talked about in this video is why I am always considering selling it. The star lifter is what I agree is the largest ship a person should buy with real money except for people like the commanders in orgs like I am in where they own a handful of capitals and the commanders and such plan on leading the org from the ships . How that will play out remains to be seen but it makes sense . Totally agree with everything you said .

Thanks - and thanks for the suggestion. You're on the money about the giveaway ship being one that would generally follow the advice, but then I still want it to be the sort of ship that most of the audience would see as getting something in the hanger they probably couldn't easily justify doing themselves. Your input is invaluable in that! I too am a Carrack owner, but owning that ship is what really helped drive me to this point: it is such a cool ship but every time I take it somewhere, so much of it goes un-used as I fly there alone. The hallways are empty, bunks unused.

@Leadnap

That is one of the things I really like about how CIG says this will work - I like that sure owning an Orion means I can harvest big bucks - but - a steady chunk of that is going to pay out to other people who don't own one. While [generally] no one aspires to be a mining laser operator in their off time in video games - this really opens up access to big economic opportunity for those who can't afford a $800 mining ship of their own.

Best fleet is honestly quite easy. Buy a ship you find interesting for the gameplay you want at your budget level. I honestly do not even want large ships even though I could afford them. I am a casual player so ships like the Kraken that would require multiple friends just to get any useful gameplay out of it, does not excite me. Love looking at these huge ships, but not really interested in owning. At least not for the foreseeable future. 45 minute QT time across stanton???? What ship does that speed? 11:55 Every time I see a illustration of ship size comparison I am shocked by the Cutty Black. One day I will get it through my thick skull that it is a large small ship. I mean it is bigger than a prolwer. Flys ridiculously good for a large mailbox with engines strapped on. 15:00 Woah, they finally figured out to aim the headlights on the Defender.

This was something I have been trying to also fit in, though I think Bored covered it some months ago pretty well. The Verse will be big, you won't want to go back across it to just grab one of your other ships and fly back. Unlike Eve there are no ships that carry the biggest ships from A to B (though there probably will be a time delayed and expensive in game NPC option to fly your stored ship to a new spot).

I have been thinking about what to do with my little fleet but I think at the moment I am going to wait and see what each of the gameplay loops are like before I decide on what to invest in in case I don't enjoy them. I also want the really big ships to be a future goal after launch.

That is certainly one of the big messages here. Bigger =/= better. So many things we can't even do yet it would be goofy to build a repair fleet and find out you hate repair.

I mainly use medium ships, but have a couple larger ships 3 to 5 players. I am not interested in capital ships. The largest one I want is a Genisis, due to modularity mentioned at one point.

Both Crucible and BMM offer more diversity and value then than the Herc The crucible as your main ship to repair ships or strip them loads of money. Can even tow captured ship off to strip in safe space. Minimal crew as well. not just carry a fighter in the scarab you could leave the scarab behind instead dock with your fighter tow it hell the Argo can tow medium ships it may be able to tow large to capitals in space. A BMM again a large ship put a guild alt on it use it as a fence ship it will have its own private shop. Dont need to fly around people dump cargo to it from guild on group nights. Most large ships come with a hanger just put it somewhere useful. Then log in and use NPC's to manage shop while watching netflicks or something. Slowly shift your groups loot. So when on with your friends you have more time doing the fun stuff. It's not the large ships that are a problem it will be time to meet up with friends. It's a different game with 9:1 ratio. you don't need a big guild to be successful but you need to manage time and thats where large ships help give it back to you. We all have game time and a little spare time. BMM as a cargo ship over 3K SCU currently thats probably 4x the herc Cargo so while slower it will not need to make as many trips. Or to save time if you can spend $350 on a hull D you can put an alt on it and use it as a guild vault space is a big place use it. The medium ships in the guild can load it and then once in a while it will need emptying on a guild night. Just like a treasure chest it will be hidden you dont need to pay the NPCs when your logged out they only need paying when in use. But load that bad boy and you will save sooo much time emptying small ships. 3 buddies one with crucible one with hull D and alt and one with BMM to sell the loot for alts. Then 3 personal fun ships one each. Low running costs crucible should be able to take fuel from captured ships. Hull D only costs when moving and then its carrying a lot. BMM only used to sell. Big ships need focus to use to make money.

@@Leadnap Sorry it wasn't meant to come over as a negative thing. Just as suggestions for alternative thinking for small groups of players.

SUB +1. A series about SC _and_ common sense? Count me in. I was laughing through the majority of this. About halfway through the boat story I check to make sure I'd already subscribed from one of your older vids I'd caught -- and horror or _horrors_ , I see a big, fat, red _SUBSCRIBE_ button. WTF, how is that possible? I've enjoyed and liked your stuff before (at least in my head I did), so this is just embarrassing. Anywho, problem solved... Love the sense of humor and appreciate your ability to make compelling, focused arguments. Great stuff. I know none of this wonton (wait - not the soup kind, the adjective kind) flattery will win me a Herc, so I'll stop there and just say thanks. See you on the next!

I have some big ships. Some.. Well, a lot. I guess I have issues haha :D But with all been said in a video I want to add that big ships are safer. Sure everyone will rather take their auroa rather than somebody else BMM. But then grind will hit, the dangers of space lanes, the risks. Yeah big ships are expensive to run. But also safer and more profitable. I'm sure there will be incentives to crew them all right :) And always with those big purchases of jpegs one has to remember - we are supporting the game. It all can be just gone tomorrow as well because risks are always present. Overinvesting emotionally in purchases of GAME assets is not healthy. For me those money are gone forever and I don't dwell on it. So far I been happy though with how things going so I will support CIG some more :)
@Leadnap
@Leadnap 4 года назад
I appreciate your comment more than people would probably think - because the core of my advice is understanding *how* your fleet will actually be in game. You are 100% right when it comes to supporting the game and the safety of bigger ships. In the broken down videos I'll be able to cover more of that better (which is why I decided to break them out in the first place) but I am certainly also no slouch when it comes to not buying the big ones, I don't personally care about the smaller ones. I want people to buy fleets that they can use, but I want them to also understand, like in real life, if you want to really make the money you're going to have to invest and spend (in game) money to get there. A big ship costs money to maintain - the part people forget now because they don't - but the big ships will also earn.

@Leadnap
@Leadnap 4 года назад
I do think that is a solid direction to go, though I can never remember if it made it past a cut or not but I do wonder in the realm of a 1:1 game simulation of life how much time most of us would actually have to play different professions? That is what has been nagging at me in my fleet planning process.

Good thoughts on large fleets. What do we think will be the largest solo able transport will be? C2? BMM?
@Leadnap
@Leadnap 4 года назад
It's tough to say - if the game launched exactly like things are right now most ships in the verse would be solo-able ships aside from defense, but CIG will almost certainly add elements to force crew play (they said they would...). The C2 has the smallest crew at 2, the M2 is probably a better call for more armor and one additional mouth to feed (and the Cat with reduced crew). If the BMM's crew holds true it would be the largest cargo ship that can land on planets. The lower Hull's also bring "low crew" but require escorts.
