Star Citizen RSI Zeus Mk2 CL First Impressions & Cargo Run Testing 

yes, 2nd exit is much useful then red corridors floor

I remember them saying they were working on a second entrance/exit for the future.

And a cargo focused variant without the servers

@@ahumeniy that would be kinda crazy. it already has 114 SCU. what would it be without the servers? 200??

Every new ship makes MSR owners cry xD The MSR needs so many things and has so many things it doesn't need at all... Hopefully they add a docking port, a second entrance be it a front ramp or a ladder, and an improved layout for the server and turrets. And remove the useless elevator.

The way to pack the grid is 8*8 scu, 8*4 scu, 12*2 scu

​@@Venhilithat's only 120 SCU

@@hunprdtr8246 I was off, someone corrected me earlier

And the other will be a cutty black or connie

I can't wait to melt mine since it can't fit a functional Ursa with wheels

Do both versions fit the (wheel less) ursa, or is it just the cl?

@@norske_ow3440 cl probably

Yeah I'm wondering if the hammerhead still has as many rays as they initially showed back when they first started the work on it.

It seems they replaced relay redundancy with fuse count. Larger ships have more relay boxes, military ships have more fuses per relay box.

Yep! I dealt with that a bit here, but cut it out of the video today.

However, a determined pirate would just need to use a cutting laser on their Multitool, like the one shown during the SQ42 "I held the line trailer" and that has been discussed a few other times across CIG channels, to cut a hole in the acces panel.

Absolutely true. But let’s face it…any impediment to hostile actions is really not much more than a delaying tactic to possibly give the owner time to mount a defense. “A lock only slows down a thief,” as any good locksmith will tell you. 😊 And frankly, it will be great to finally have a use for the cutter!

@@mracicot very true, I imagine in future those kinds of panels will be ID locked, so only crew members with permission can access them, also provides an opportunity for hacking, depending on your tools and skills

@@mracicot oh also in terms of use for the cutter, I imagine we'll be getting when maelstrom comes in, which will also allow us to cut open doors and cargo bays, replacing the current "shoot to open" system

Ooh, yeah, that’s a good thought! Imagine a new multi-tool hacking module out some other handheld tool… if you can’t hack your way in, cut your way in. Ahhh, the possibilities! (First, though, CIG: please fix basic functionality like clipping, map malfunctions, ship features for ships already in game, etc, before adding more new features!!)

Seems to have messed up. Here is the link! bit.ly/STGEyeTracker I unfortunately don't have all the music from the game to do that, but usually I use my own music anyways which makes it a bit less jarring.

You thought if the ship gets lost or destroyed - claiming the ship and getting a new one would include the stuff in storage lockers?

​@@hawkzulu5671 ED does this, you get a base or everything you had.

@@hawkzulu5671 I don't know to be honest. Whenever I had a ship destroyed I always lost everything on board, even weapons in the weapon racks. I remember reading or watching a video where they said weapons stored in a rack, then ship stored and later retrieved, the weapons became part of the ship inventory. Never happened for, so I don't store anything on a ship except food and drink

@@rampant54 Yeah that was a thing for a couple patches in the 3.18/ 3.19 cycle but they removed it because people used the same thing to 'dupe' drugs - storing vehicles and claiming them so they respawn with the drugs on board - pile those drugs into a ship and claim another - until you have a hauling ship filled with tens upon tens of millions (Billions) in duped cargo.

@@hawkzulu5671 I'd gladly pay another insurance fee to "save" whatever I stored in my ship to avoid losing it all. Of course that would not cover potential unique/rare items or resources. But standard weapons, armors, medic stuff and food that would be an amazing improvement in QoL.

Spacious by submarine standards 😂

I don't think about it too hard lol

I’ve seen similar setups irl. You are right, they work/look really good… until they get the slightest bit dirty. Don’t have to worry about that in a video game though

It's called extended info on the toggleable settings mfd

I'm glad there is no coffee pot, I hate coffee. 😉

Wasn't really paying much attention to the statement anyways. Just commenting on what they said earlier this year, that they want people to be able to log out/in anywhere.

@@SpaceTomatoPlays It really is the only thing that makes sense with the gameplay they've been talking about for years. For example you can't be stranded on a planet, or in space, if you can just exit the game and spawn back at a station. Plus all the server meshing tech and persistence enables logging out and back in seamlessly. Bed logout is just such an old idea from when the game's scope was nowhere near what it is now. It was a solution to a problem that doesn't exist anymore, but people still seem adament about it. Though I do think bed logout will provide a buff like resting at an inn like other MMOs - like restoring thirst/hunger or a decrease to it, or temporarily improving stamina or health, that kind of thing.

​​@@vectonaut1503they said the difference in bed log on a ship a and just logging out could be the difference if your ship despawns or not. So there could be a big reason to bed log, not just the buff they talked about.

@@vectonaut1503 Vec, I may not be totally tracking what you’re saying, so forgive me if I missed your point. Bedlogging is a mandatory feature for me. I can’t tell you how frustrating it is when I have to stop playing unexpectedly. Having the ability to bedlog allows me to avoid a return to a station to be assured (as assured as one can be in this game) of keeping my gear, which adds 10-15 minutes to my shutdown time. If I don’t have that much time and dump out of the game without a graceful logout, all the stuff is gone if it isn’t in my personal inventory.

@@mracicot Oh I totally understand, I have a 1 year old which has probably cost me more ships than bugs lol. What I'm saying is that I think the goal is to be able to log out anywhere, and log back in exactly where you logged out, even if you're flying a ship, floating in space or stuck in a cave. This is a feature of every MMO and there's a few ways they can do this. With dynamic server meshing, they could log you back in to an "empty" server, temporarily, and then stream in other players as you move about. This would prevent people popping in out of nowhere. If you're flying a ship, exactly the same thing. If there's other ships nearby and if you'e not in combat, then they could even auto quantum the ship to an empty area of space first before despawning, and quantum back to where you were when you log back in (which is how EVE has done it for decades and we already kind of have this in the form of a crash recovery). So basically bed logging without needing to use the bed, I think exiting/entering the game will eventually just log you out and in at the exact same location. This makes sense for the gameplay they've talked about. For example you can't be stranded on a planet or in space with how logging currently works, as you're safe as soon as you log out and back in. They need to make it so that you log back in exactly where you logged out in order for people/NPCs to rescue you, or you figure out how to rescue yourself with the resources available. I do think bed logging will still exist as an option, and will just provide some small buffs/benefits to using. As in you could just exit the game, but if you make the effort to go to a bed to log out then when you log back in, you'll have some small benefits. I think we just need server meshing up and running first before they can implement this.

I'm really struggling with this choice. The c1 is faster and more nimble in atmo but the zeus looks nicer and is easier to land/takeoff. The docking port and boarding ladder are serious bonuses. The c1 is slightly more solo friendly and has a slightly better cockpit view and Imo. It's tough...

Spirit definitely still has merits that the c1 doesn't. I don't think we can fit 32 scu crates into the zeus cl but we can fit 2 into the c1. The zeus however can be packed more completely because there's alternative entrances to the ship cockpit. It's a hard choice, but I think I'm going for the Zeus

My Spirit replaced the Cutty Black for utility runs. For cargo my C2 rules. The Zeus is nice mainly for its ladder but Ill pass.

I still like my Spirit, but this ship is pretty cool so far!

@@SpaceTomatoPlays y'know what'd make me keep the C1? The new Halloween paint 🤣🤣😄

Yes

Radar altimeters read the distance to the terrain you're over. What is sea level on a moon with no atmosphere or water? Barometric altimeters read air pressure, which needs to be set accordingly. All I need to know is how far below my keel is the mountain I'm about to crash into.

@@Challenge72 Ah yes that makes sense, there is no sea on the moon haha. Big oversight on my part

What?

​@@SpaceTomatoPlaysarmour lockers will be like the kiosk, you will have to put every piece on. You wont get a equip all is what he is referring to im guessing, but he is right, you wont.

​@@SpaceTomatoPlays 2:30

It's gameplay.

Actually, on private aircraft, the only auto fire suppression system is in the hydraulics bay and used for the engines and auxiliary power unit. The cabins do rely on handheld extinguishers.
