I’m so excited for it to come, and the idris, and the merchantman, and the C.O. Pioneer, and the endeavor, amd the Orion, and the Hull - C. Because that’s the only ships that I own that are not released yet. Wish that CIG would release their ships instead of starting to make it and forget about it…
@@AstroChronicles Yes my wallet despises you! But I love your content. Next ship tempting me lately is the Perseus so don't do that ship! (I mean do, please do I would adore seeing a model of that interior)
Amazing work. Still, every time I see Polaris I can't stop thinking how with the same dev resources they could release 5 other ships instead by now (including Zeus).
I feel like I'm the only person who is going to sorely miss the upper deck that was shown in the initial concept images and was wonderfully interpreted in this video (4:07). Overlooking arriving and departing craft is such a nice touch that allows you to fully appreciate the scale of a ship like this.
CIG recently revealed that there is indeed an upper deck with an ATC room overlooking the Hangar! Also it appears as though the Polaris has an Air shield for that massive hangar door.
@@IvoGrissom I can't speak to how extensive the upper deck will be, there is also access points to the top turrets on the top deck, but it's possible there's only a small section at the fore and aft of the hangar that have a third deck. The lower deck is also roughly 1.5 decks to accommodate the Engineering section and cargo hold in addition to the four rotating torpedo magazines and manual loading systems. You'll be able to store additional torpedoes in your hold and manually reload the magazines from there with specialized loading tubes.
@@harabecswurveweathers While I do wish it was a full crew quarters, allowing players to wake up from their beds and immediately immerse themselves in the activity of the ship, keeping some ground control overlook is better than nothing. Also now that I think of it, even though it's more practical the sliding doors of the updated ship are much less grand than the top-sweeping doors in the concept. Compromises have to be made for the game, but I wonder what made them switch that detail of all things.
Geez, once again CIG needs to hire you. You’re practically capable of doing all the ship design work for them. (I assume you design and build these models alone right?)
I will share the schematic in next episode, sizing is based on all gathered info from CIG. When it come to the interior I used super wide lens on camera - this might give wrong proportion impression
My main reasoning is that the ship is getting a size increase- we know that it will be under 200 meters but by how much is still up in the air. The schematics are not detailed at all and don’t feature many of the features that are supposed to be in like a brig for example. I’m expecting cig to do a merchantman type update where they update the concept and offer a more detailed layout
I bought mine, I really love the look of this ship. I really wish you could do something like replace the torpedos with maybe an explorer component and go out on long haul exploration in this. With ships and vehicles designed for the same purpose. And maybe some way to be self sufficient for repair and refueling. Can't wait to see this in game.
@@mica984662 Not really. That's still in the same class as the Carrack and of those two I'd rather keep my Carrack. I'm talking about a capital ship explorer.
what i find cool is that you can pretend to do it all.....explore/whatever, pretend its and explorer that can destroy everything on the side. Its also important that its nice in size, not too big and sizeable interior AND you can land .Idris can too but its too big for me and javelin...well javelin is no fun cause its space only
What awesome work! You really do a great job. Allow me to visit your Patreon and fuel you to do the bridge video! The bridge sold me on this ship. Hey, how hard would it be to do a flicker/montage type video of different ships in the hangar? I'd love to see that!
This looks like a disaster waiting to happen. All those torpedos without protection The fuel containers suspended above the deck. Cargos ramps and Landing pad sharing the same space... This is a safety hazard at best.
People will definitely be in for a pleasant surprise once the Polaris finally releases to Live. Now that CIG has confirmed that it has grown (still under 200m in lenght but I'm guessing it will be around 160-175m) and also received a full set of Capital-class components I wouldn't be surprised to see CIG reclassifying the Polaris to a Light Frigate when all is said and done. It's already a Light Frigate in everything except name anyways so they may as well make it official. Then CIG can also bump up the Perseus to a Corvette; as that's basically what it is. The Hammerhead started out as a Heavy Gunship but later on was reclassified as a Corvette. With the Polaris also being classified as a Corvette no longer makes any sense; especially nowadays with the Perseus; which is also classified as a Heavy Gunship (giving me a sense of deja-vu). As such I suspect that the Polaris will be changed to a Light Frigate which would then pave the way for the Perseus to take its place as an RSI Corvette. Both the Perseus and Hammerhead have the exact same size and number of components as well as similar ship size. The Hammerhead has 6 anti-fighter turrets and 32 large S3 missiles whereas the Perseus has 2 large anti-ship turrets and 20 small S5 torpedoes. That way you'd have the Corvette class ships which are predominantly single-role ships with heavy standard armor. Then the Light Frigate class which is larger with multi-role capabilities and light capital armor. And finally the Frigate class which is even larger, also with multi-role capabilities, and more firepower plus medium capital armor. To me that would all makes sense imo. 🙂 Now I own a lot of Corvette-sized ships as I always liked that type in spacegames for some reason (not too cumbersome and still being able to use speed to its advantage). Among these I count the Hammerhead, Perseus, Nautilus, and even the Carrack. Originally I had a Polaris but melted it. However, then I felt some remorse and managed to get a CCU so that I would still have one again. The only thing I dislike about the Polaris is the location of the bridge. I absolutely LOVE the design of the Perseus as that was the type of spaceship I wanted with the bridge on top overlooking the ship. So it's kind of a shame which initially put me off on the Polaris because I would have loved it if the Polaris also had a bridge in the same location as the Perseus. Ah well...
nah man,it looks perfect-best visibility and makes the ship look like an arrow, which i heard somewhere about polar star or something i forget that is called a needle(maybe it was sc lore i forgot)
@@votpavel Visibility would be the same if the bridge was situated on top of the ship as the pilot station is so far back that they can't see below them anyway. Just take a look at the original concept art and you can see that the pilot wouldn't be able to see anything if they look down. What's more, that seat also has an enormous strut right in front of them so I really hope that CIG will give the Polaris a 'strut-less' canopy just like the other modern RSI ships. The arrowhead shape could have been retained as well with a bridge up top. Just take a look at the Federal Corvette of Elite Dangerous. 🙂 But that's just my opinon and CIG won't change the design anyway so I'll have to live with it regardless. I still prefer the design of the Perseus over the Polaris. 😉
Nice for sure. If you can I'd love to see what you've got envisioned for the Perseus. Maybe you can find a way to squeeze a Med Bay and Armory into the ship since C.i.G. seems to think that it can't be done or doesn't need it.
So... Which support ship are you guys planning on storing in the Polaris' hangar bay? A Scorpius to stay in theme with RSI; or are you planning on keeping a different ship in there. For me, I'm still contemplating if I should put a Scorpius in there or if I should just stick with my tried-and-true Hurricane. Now I guess I could just go with a Gladius; seeing as how that's suddenly the super-OP meta child of CIG but I wonder if that will still be the case once the Polaris is finally built. 🙂 Now I guess a lot of people have ideas of trying to cram in a dozen Merlins but I doubt CIG will allow that with the whole landing pad configurations. So I'm guessing that only 1 ship will be able to be secured when in flight due to the way they've set up these hangar bay 'spawn-points'. As such I think you can only safely lock down a single small ship (and I'm actually surprised when CIG said that a Scorpius would fit as that one is classified as a Heavy Fighter when I thought they would only allow a single Light Fighter or a single Light Bomber like the Gladiator).
@@cfdxkk8810 A Terrapin? Interesting. I guess it could serve as an early-warning system but as I recall the Polaris already had one of the biggest radar components by itself. That makes me wonder if a Terrapin would have additional use or not. I'm also not sure if the Polaris will be able to travel as far as the Carrack; considering one is specifically built for exploration with larger fueltanks whereas the other is a warship. Guess we'll have to find out once the Polasir is out to see its operating range compared to a Carrack. Then there's also the modular bays of the Carrack to consider as we don't know what CIG has planned for those.🙂
im always impressed with the workmanship and creativity regardless all the physics and other problems i see well done working on ships we dont have but working on ships we do have blows my mind hahahaha. i disagree often but if this is a pass time for you keep up the hard work
An insane amount of overly large wasted space on the interior. Hopefully CIG makes better use of all that space... Really cool mockup, though! Community is making this shit faster than CIG.
Excellent work. It truly gives us an idea of what this ship will have to offer when it's released. I guess CIG will use assets from the Squadron 42 version of the Bengal carrier to desgin the interior of the Polaris. The Perseus might also get the same treatment.
i dont know initially when i saw the cockpit ..it seemed like to small? But then i saw the interiors and ...seems to big? I mean i dont mind it but if it really turns out to have that much space inside ..itl be a gem of a ship :)
Amazing work, I've been debating this ship and I think i've seen this (on my phone) but there's so much detail in it that I watched again and absolutely love the level of detail you've put into it. CIG should thank you for selling ships xD
I like the torpedo bay but the rest of the ships corridors feel too open and high for me, Half the size and height with more component access would be more in line with RSI interiors.
I know alot of people love this ship.. and i respect all of its features. That being said i PERSONALLY think this thing is fuck ugly.. im not nocking astro chronicles here. i love what you do, its RSI/CIGs fault here, not yours bud, the work you do is fantastic. that being said, this is just how i feel about the thing. i know many people love the look of this ship and i dont personally understand why.
I'm very curious as to what features/general vibe you get from the ship that make you consider it visually unappealling. Asking genuinely, as this is easily one of my favorite looking ships
am I wrong or did the ship expended when you showcased the interior? The ship has a cluttered and empty feel to it. Is the Mess hall and Crew Quarter not done ? Really curious about your thought process when building ships. They seem to have more style than functionality
You realize he doesn't design or build the ship he takes the already Made by the Artists @CIG and then builds it out so that we can get an idea of what the ship will be like from the "Current Not Finished model? The actual In Game model will probably go thru several revisions that will be maybe 80% accurate to what's shown here for ex the Side Turrets wouldn't work as they are designed on this Current model, they will change them just like they did for the Carracks OG side Turrets to more sensible ones.
Very nice work from you^^, but I hope it won't look like that in the end. So many large and long corridors for a ship of this size would be an awful waste of space. Especially if you compare it to the Idris, which is a ship class larger.
Idris is a weird one, because almost all of the bottom deck is a hanger. remove that and its more polaris sized, so i would expect they'll FEEL similar to be in:)
I hate to be negative on these creative works, but this design has some flaws. Some are just showcase/placeholder designs (like the shop-like med bay), but most importantly, the corridors are wide enough that two Mules can drive side by side on them in this design. And that does not make a lot of sense for a ship that size, especially a military ship this size. Though the idea of having it wide enough for one to more easily transport crates is in itself interesting. Yet I doubt that the Polaris is actually big enough for a Mule-sized transport vehicle to even be necessary. There are, though not usable atm, more sensible transport carts on cargo decks (I'm not talking about trollies). My bet is, that CIG will stick as far as possible with the original Polaris Blueprint, which is to be found in the brochure. Despite being an older CIG design, it is actually quite okay. Anyhow, this design is not bad, far from it, and I hate to critizise creative work people do for a passion, I just think that importing this design cannot be done without significant changes to proportions.
@@VulpesChama Don't apologize for criticism. This layout has a lot of wasted space for a military ship, more than I could ever find acceptable. Hangar looks sized to fit multiple Gladius and not the one I always figured it was designed to carry. This is an okay first draft. But it can definitely be better.
Its the model that currently available by CIG it will probably go thru several sizes and changes remember the Games Ai needs a lot of room to avoid collision issues.
I like it, however; there's a lot of wasted space. If maybe there was a way to have that hangar hold up to 4 ships, that would make it a ship comparable to Moff Gideon's Light Cruiser
I am confused about those who think we need to have a comparable ground vehilce for medical or even for cargo long haul. WHY? You can land just about anywhere... or hover close enough to load juts about anywhere.
Amazing job 👌 now can someone tell me please why it's not released yet? I see this guy making ship models so fast and so detailed so if cig wanted to put them all in game they already had it done !!! I very disappointed in them at this point
Stay tuned for next episode - the empty space will be filled with elements such as escape pods, docking collars, access to turrets, cargo elements, armoury, repair stations and drones. This was just 1st episode so yeah it looks bit empty
hm.. your work is without a doubt impressive but im not sure how i feel about all these long corridors that lead to nothing. did you just put them all around the hangar for symmetry sake?
Currently there is no details there but the corridors are based on the Polaris schematics and will be used for following: ground floor: access to engineering, side turrets, button turret and ‘garage’ services as refuel and repair. Upper floor will be used as access to side docking ports, storage, and access to escape pods. Yes currently looks empty and pointless but detail are coming - thank you for your feedback, appreciate
This is Not supposed to be an Aircraft carrier be thankful it has a single area for a single ship at all. If you can squeeze more ships in CIG allows you to do this w the penalty that they may get damaged banged up, so not recommended. This is basically a Modern day Missile Destroyer /Submarine. Its not about how Unbalanced can I make the ship. The Artist who made this video has to work with the Model CIG puts out he doesn't redesign the Role of the ship. That would lead to people thinking this was some official CIG video of what the ship was really like and probably would cause them to Take down the video. he takes some liberties but not enough to get in trouble.
