Kind of scary thought that you board the ship and there seems to be no one home and then you find out all the crew went to hiding in the suit lockers :P
At 8:50 What you're talking about is called Chromatic Aberration. It's a film effect that most people have turned off. But it can be turned on in the graphics settings even in our current live build. I personally hate it, lol. but if you like it, turn it on. In the PTU patch it's on by default with no ability to turn it off. That's why you're just now noticing it
@@echo5827 I do too. I think its great that they make it a setting. That way it isn't forced on people who don't like it, and folks like us get to enjoy it if we want.
The chromatic aberration is being worked on and its all jacked up in the PTU so that CRT effect you mentioned in game will be fixed. Great video as always.
Love the cockpit view! I started out making (some decent) money when I started ROC mining back in 3.15... Since then it's lost its charm, but this view in the Zeus just screams low level flying to me! So looking forward when I can buy it in game and go back to my 'roots' of ROC mining.
I'll definitely be melting my Conny Taurus for the Zeus CL. Maybe once they fix the everything on the Conny I'll buy it back but until then losing a bit of cargo capacity for a properly functional tractor beam, a sensible living space with proper lockers and a docking ring? Yes, please!
Thanks for the video, as always, Olli! I have to say my first impression is the Zeus looks a little ... small ... on the inside. I have a Corsair (love that 'pirate setting sail' feel) and it's quite spacious, inspite of being nerfed. I was hoping this gem would be my new daily driver (and it may be after I fly it a bit). But compared to the 'Drake Mess Hall' feel, this looks all business and just a little ... small. Again, thanks for this and all your vids! Love them, even if I don't comment enough!
I have the zeus MR, I'll have to say I'm keeping my C1 over the zeus cl especially after seeing how the cargo shit plays out. good luck loading/unloading that zeus with that tiny asshole of a door lol
I'm so ready for working suit lockers. Hopefully it will just hot-swap whatever clothing you're wearing for whatever armor is in the suit locker and vice-versa.
Running up the Zeus in the XL Hanger really starts to give a sense of the scale of things in Star Citizen. It starts out as a tiny spec, then you get to the ship and switch to 3rd person and the entire thing is above your head.
One thing I noticed is that we lost the big weapon slot in the CL's weapon rack. That's a big minus in my opinion. Its so great to have dedicated slot for bigger weapons like rail guns and missile launchers in the actual weapon rack. Also its a kind of bummer the weapons rack is in the cargo space. Kind of scary to think about the boarding action with this ship when ppl come in from the back and all your bigger weapons are all the way back there. At the moment its not a problem since you can fly the ship with the back pack and huge ass LMG and sniper rifles on it. But in future they might limit that possibility, so you actually need to place your long guns in the rack every time you hop into pilot/copilot's seat. Also you forgot to show us the ladder game play in this ship.
I feel it needs spotlights at each of the three entrances. And fold up ones above the canopy. And I've been told the side airlock will only open when docked, to avoid depressurising the whole ship.
"What i like is it has lots of Clerance" -- That... is the biggest reason why i melted the Corsiar i had for a short while.... it has no shins or even ankles.. it has only feet. Which makes it a breeze to get things in and out of, but makes it a pain in the arse to find something smooth enough to land at.
Capt Foxyloxy got one in by shooting off the wheels then tractoring it in. The Nursa was left with about 50% strength but still functional. You need to work it so the Nursa’s ramp is up against the Zeus’ ramp according to him.
the reason it doesnt have the fuel window is that the ES has ++ fuel tanks and ++ shields. thats the ES parting piece. the two ships have different components.
3:31 We call them "shoilets"... shower and toilet. NO the toilet is not the shower, just simply a toilet inside the shower area like older RVs used to do.
I just wish the floor turret would slave to the pilot when alone. Like the reliant. But then again those size 4s have a LOT of ammo, so it’s still not lacking.
It's a nice little shuttle, but it's obviously just another small ship pumped out to pad the store with "new" ships and drive sales. CIG really need to stat working their backlog.
Am i the only one that even tho the Zeuz MK2 looks fantastic, i would've liked if we could also purchase the MK1, i really like the more classic style of ships
The Zeus is a mini carrack for those like me that will play mostly solo, I've been kind of bummed out ever since it was made clear you cannot solo the carrack. I might think about selling the carrack and getting this instead.
I saw a good description of SC somewhere - it's an art project, not a game. A bunch of beautiful detailed 3d models and some loose rudimentary mechanics to justify why you should buy those 3d models.
@@MrMcbear at this point, so close to the release, impound is a waste as money spent there is not going towards CIG nor to ones rank. Once 3.24.2 hit's live, the Zeus MK2 (CL & ES) will be available, even before IAE (hopium they don't release 3.24.2 on the day IAE starts)
@@GroovingDrums IAE is end of november, 3.24.2 will be releasing, as my best guess within 10 days give or take, to hit life just before, during or after citcon
God Damn it. They made it look so much bigger when i bought it. So tired of getting rug pulled. At least it still looks great for the size unlike the bs BMM design changes.
01:07 - I was today years old when I learned Olli is a feet guy. 😆
“Ha ha ha. You’ll never catch me!”

I'm a fan with space games for some reason. I also play with film grain on in mass effect. Idk
I hate it with a passion.
i think i turned it off on the ptu, not 100% sure but yeah
@@echo5827 I do too. I think its great that they make it a setting. That way it isn't forced on people who don't like it, and folks like us get to enjoy it if we want.
I've heard it called "Chromatic Abomination" and that pretty much sums up my opinion.
The chromatic aberration is being worked on and its all jacked up in the PTU so that CRT effect you mentioned in game will be fixed. Great video as always.
I want the Zeus MK2 sooo bad. Looks so good
this just came out retard
Best ship design to date, embraces common sense design philosophy and bodes well for future concepts
The good thing about the Zeus MK II is, that it can also be steered from both copilot seats !
MSR crying in the corner wondering why it has been forsaken.
That's good to know!
i think its a bug since it rips away all control from the main seat, and you also have a chance to instantly get rid of your quantum fuel
@@ATigerShark i swear i have piloted the msr thru the co seat
that can be good and bad.
The Zeus has that Carrack cockpit feel/look to it, so it makes a really good pairing. A daily driver Zeus and Carrack multi crew
I feel like all ship reviews should begin like this with the lift coming up, fire.
Also so hype for my ZMK2 ❤
Cargo ramp needs to be a bit wider.
I kinda wish the cockpit was pilot and co-pilot; no third seat.
Very nice ship otherwise.
This Arm-thing, in bigger, longer, the Caterpillar needs this. Desperately!
Seeing this makes me more exited for the Polaris
RSI is definitely the development favorite, the Polaris and Perseus seem like they're going to hit very very hard for their sizes
Love the cockpit view! I started out making (some decent) money when I started ROC mining back in 3.15... Since then it's lost its charm, but this view in the Zeus just screams low level flying to me! So looking forward when I can buy it in game and go back to my 'roots' of ROC mining.
It’s been shown you can get two ROCs in the back of a CL with a bit of room to spare, so ideal ship if you’ve got a mate 😊👍
What Olli43 looks for in feet: big, chunky, lots of clearance 😮
He only wants the best
Just learned Olli is the Tarantino of Star Citizen.
You spelled CIG shill wrong..
I'll definitely be melting my Conny Taurus for the Zeus CL.
Maybe once they fix the everything on the Conny I'll buy it back but until then losing a bit of cargo capacity for a properly functional tractor beam, a sensible living space with proper lockers and a docking ring? Yes, please!
i havent played SC in about 3 years. i think its time to revisit
3:50 learning that a large portion of British homes STILL don't have mixer taps was honestly kinda mind blowing.
I feel you on the spacecraft landing gear I have an appreciation to moving art. My fav being the Carrack lol
The carrack could have been amazing if they made it now, she's outdated and unloved these days.
The Zeus has that Carrack cockpit feel/look to it, so it makes a really good pairing. A daily driver Zeus and Carrack multi crew
I don't have pc now but this game gives me motivation to get one 🙂.
Thanks for the video, as always, Olli! I have to say my first impression is the Zeus looks a little ... small ... on the inside. I have a Corsair (love that 'pirate setting sail' feel) and it's quite spacious, inspite of being nerfed. I was hoping this gem would be my new daily driver (and it may be after I fly it a bit). But compared to the 'Drake Mess Hall' feel, this looks all business and just a little ... small. Again, thanks for this and all your vids! Love them, even if I don't comment enough!
i really like how you can see the missiles underneath the copilot seats
This is the smallest ship that looks livable. It has my name all over it :)
"I am very particular about my spaceship's feet".
Olli43, October 8, 2024.
LMAO
I love that holographic look on the hud
I enjoy watching you play Star Citizen , I Need to get this game.
I have the zeus MR, I'll have to say I'm keeping my C1 over the zeus cl especially after seeing how the cargo shit plays out. good luck loading/unloading that zeus with that tiny asshole of a door lol
the Zeus MK2 looks sooo good i need it by the way your content is amazing
I'm so ready for working suit lockers. Hopefully it will just hot-swap whatever clothing you're wearing for whatever armor is in the suit locker and vice-versa.
10 minute suit up animation take it or leave it.
@@hornbach9279 🤣
i love my CL Really pretty ships
It’s a great design. If this is the future of their design and layouts, it’s looking good!
First ship by the montreal tema, really excited to see what they work on next.
according to Oli SC peaks every other day
Running up the Zeus in the XL Hanger really starts to give a sense of the scale of things in Star Citizen. It starts out as a tiny spec, then you get to the ship and switch to 3rd person and the entire thing is above your head.

Smaller than I thought I'd be, want it even more!
I feel it needs spotlights at each of the three entrances. And fold up ones above the canopy.
And I've been told the side airlock will only open when docked, to avoid depressurising the whole ship.
6:11 that’s like those latches in trunks where if you get kidnapped you can open it from the inside
Digging the glass panels on components and shelves - display the features when not in use and keep the items in the shelf in 0g.
Damn TH-camrs getting me all hyped for another ship.
Great review, thank you.
Can those shelves actually hold items? Ive tried similar shelving and the collisions are solid so nothing sits in there
I love the Zeus bought the CL and checkt it out yesterday.
It has great Potential to replace the C1 as my new Daily
Bought the MR last november. Been one hell of a wait. Almost there.
"What i like is it has lots of Clerance" -- That... is the biggest reason why i melted the Corsiar i had for a short while.... it has no shins or even ankles.. it has only feet. Which makes it a breeze to get things in and out of, but makes it a pain in the arse to find something smooth enough to land at.
11:43 that’s the extra fuel tank in the es. They removed it to move that wall forward for more cargo space
How many remote turrets on the ES? I know the CL has the one on bottom, and the tractor beam.
I was so excited for this ship till I found out that the ursa doesn't fit through the gate!
Capt Foxyloxy got one in by shooting off the wheels then tractoring it in. The Nursa was left with about 50% strength but still functional. You need to work it so the Nursa’s ramp is up against the Zeus’ ramp according to him.
the reason it doesnt have the fuel window is that the ES has ++ fuel tanks and ++ shields. thats the ES parting piece. the two ships have different components.
So Glad I got this, don't need any of my starter ships, my cutlass', or perhaps even the MSR.
3:31 We call them "shoilets"... shower and toilet.
NO the toilet is not the shower, just simply a toilet inside the shower area like older RVs used to do.
Not a Game still not complete or out over 700 million spent on development and its still an Alpha.
7:05 you can use that exit to drop off crew on the side of mountains or buildings
You are easily pleased Olli!
Zeus MK2 Looks fantastic!!!
Chonky Feet for the win! Wish I could fit a set on my Nomad, would give it much more gravitas. Great video Olli, thank you.
I just wish the floor turret would slave to the pilot when alone. Like the reliant. But then again those size 4s have a LOT of ammo, so it’s still not lacking.
The CL was supposed to have two tractor beams so where is the second one? Is that the remote turret on the bottom?
It's Olli's ship, of course it is going to catch fire. 😆
Who doesn't like sturdy feet?
Wait....
That sounded way weirder than intended... 😅😂
(Can't wait to be able to fly my ES)
A just delightful Video😉👌🏼
This is what I wanted the Freelancer DUR to be. The DUR is still fine, but the living quarters is spartan to a sheer a no go for exploration purposes.
You can also fly the ship from both copilot and gunner seats.
One thing I noticed you can control the Zeus from every seat
Kind of miss that interior window with the CL. Also interesting that the copilot can apparently pilot the ship this time.
LETS GOOOOOOOOO Zeus Mark II!!!
Pls more videos of exploring and vehicle mining pls
It's a nice little shuttle, but it's obviously just another small ship pumped out to pad the store with "new" ships and drive sales. CIG really need to stat working their backlog.
Today I saw a Zeus ES struggle to beat a Vulture, a Prospector and a C1 in 1v1
This ship Iis the most detailed one in the game. The Montreal ship team did an amazing job!
The suitlocker doors look like tigerclaw 😂
Lol out of all the things to be particular about, it's "feet"😅 also note I'm 100% jelly that you get to have your zeus and I'm still waiting 😭
By far my favorite ship that’s ever been released! Now I just need a volunteer to buy it for me👀 lol
this little ship have more interior's features than RSI Constelations
Am i the only one that even tho the Zeuz MK2 looks fantastic, i would've liked if we could also purchase the MK1, i really like the more classic style of ships
Very nice ship, this could replace my 315p, I might farm credit to get it IG when available IG ^^
I currently daily the connie andromeda, but I'm liking the zeus cl a lot, is it worth the purchase, should I upgrade, ahhh my head hurts
Try using the tractor beam with a 4+SCU crate. Very clunky-narrow ramp opening vs tractor movement.
Tractor beam is bugged and has a few confirmed issue council reports - hopefully fix is coming in soon
Star Citizen peaks every time they add a feature that actually works and makes sense from an immersion AND gameplay perspective
they should also add that tractor beam arm on the caterpillar
the holographic hud is nice aesthetically but it also makes it look blurry, even on native res
The Zeus is a mini carrack for those like me that will play mostly solo, I've been kind of bummed out ever since it was made clear you cannot solo the carrack.
I might think about selling the carrack and getting this instead.
I wish RSI would half the mess hall and ad some sort of armory or ready room, somewhere where you can prepare for EVA, maybe with suits and stuff.
The MR version has an armory
So all I lose is a couch and some kitchen for lots more cargo? Glad I went with the CL.
I saw a good description of SC somewhere - it's an art project, not a game.
A bunch of beautiful detailed 3d models and some loose rudimentary mechanics to justify why you should buy those 3d models.
I should have pledged this ship, man it looks so good
Can get it off the "impound" or wait till IAE
@@MrMcbear at this point, so close to the release, impound is a waste as money spent there is not going towards CIG nor to ones rank. Once 3.24.2 hit's live, the Zeus MK2 (CL & ES) will be available, even before IAE (hopium they don't release 3.24.2 on the day IAE starts)

Looks like a better version of my Titan. Slightly bigger, way more polished, really nice interior.
I need 3.24.2 to be live, like yesterday
Is there a cargo wipe in .2?? Been hoarding waiting for the elevators to work and nervous it’s just a waste of time
So I have an MR. Does anyone know if I'll get a variant as a loner?
I'm hearing you'll be getting the ES variant
Elite Dangerous needs ship interiors this looks cool
I cannot wait until the Connie is bought up to this level
those ramp "arms" are called struts in boaty mcboat speak
God Damn it. They made it look so much bigger when i bought it. So tired of getting rug pulled. At least it still looks great for the size unlike the bs BMM design changes.
I just get a kick out of your enthusiasm. I can't wait for the MR.
Logged in yesterday and couldn't leave the spawn room though. Ship is cool though lol, I'll wait to fly mine until the game is playable.
sure you did
if only all the old ships got this treatment. Will be 2037 before they rework all the ships
Why is the cargo hold door so small? An Ursa can fit, but the door too small.
Ofc I bought the MR variant, the ONLY one that won’t be out for awhile 😢
Jooo love your channel ❤❤❤
All I need to know, does an URSA fit?
