This was my favorite Lore Tour so far. I liked how the descriptions were detailed but relatively succinct, but more than anything you got inside and around some of the ships and poked around. I'd love to see more of that - your lore knowledge but also your opinions of the inside and general thoughts on the ships themselves, especially as the game changes. That way you get the lore nerds as well as the ship nerds invested, and your video becomes a little longer for the content gods :)
Origin seems like a match made in heaven for the Advocacy. The 300 series has better living accommodation for their agents, supposed to have great performance, and they aren't tied to the Messers as much as Aegis is (the Avenger Titan is too good for what it is). One type of ship that is conspicuously missing is a transport/resupply shuttle built for 6-8 people. Like a dinghy used by yatch owners, it should fly into small ports or be able to support excursions and give aerial tours. The 890 or 600i could stay in space while the shuttle would take guests down to the planet, or it could send the shuttle down on a shopping run while VIPs continue with their party, or if someone had to leave early they could depart in luxury instead of cramped in a Pisces or Argo Cargo.
In early days, the inspiration for Origin Jumpworks was called out by name... they have since backed off the direct comparison and many other influences are at play... But Origin Jumpworks Gmbh was based on.... BMW. Origin is, essentially, BMW in space. You see it their history... both made really nice engines before vehicles... both German... possibly even both Bavarian (the Rhine does flow through Bavaria). 'Luxury', but with performance as top priority. The 350r is basically an M5, the m50 an M3. 400 up is bit 'yachty' for direct model comparisons, but the BMW inspiration is hard to miss once you know it's there. When I picked my first ship to get, way back in 2013, I was driving my 5th BMW... not surprisingly I got a 325a. Still have it, still love it. Customized it too... weapons and equipment, dark deep black (onyx I think), wood interior trim, lots of leather, stereo... It has LTI and I will never part with it. I also have an equally customized, LTI, 350r. And my 600ix is what I consider my 'daily driver's. The ship I take when I dont have a specific mission in mind and not sure which ship to take... the Greyhawk (name already assigned, you cant have it :p thbthtbth ) We will see if the 400 takes the 'daily driver' mantle from the Greyhawk. Also, an M50... and an 85x... and an X1 Force... And I really hope to fit 2x 125a's in my Polaris hangar... I uh... really like Origin. Easier to say I dont own a 100, a 315p, 300i, or an 890j. And every Origin ship I own is LTI... only significant because I intend to test the L and be playing this for a few decades (This is the end all be all dream game I have wanted since the 80s, I backed early and I ain't going anywhere. THIS is my game. By that I mean if CR and all the leads at CIG sat down with me personally to build this game to my exacts tastes and what I, and I alone want in a game... it would be the same #%!*^@% game it is now. Nothing would change, it actually feels like they are catering to my personal tastes)
the black paint is Obsidian, also have it on my 300 (in addition to tossing the RICE-err-sport package yoke and seat and carbon lining in there XD) (edit, they finally fixed the floor of the 300 cargo bay, making it box mission viable. hence upgrading the Rora, it's been a nice ship)
For me the only Origin ship worth buying with IRL cash is the 315p. Everything else is earn in game. Not really interested in them personally. Enjoyed the lore though!
why every time I hear Lore Tour I hear Sunny In Philadelphia night man play? You got to pay the troll toll if you want to get in the boys soul? I'm tired sorry
