The best thing is, even with dumb comments like these, is you can currently have fun in the 'verse if you're into space sims, even without a full release, and every patch adds more things to do!
The absolute firepower of the Hammerhead is astounding. I cannot wait for full scale capital ship battles with small fighters in the mix. This game is really coming together and gonna be epic when they get further into development. Great edit man.
You'll likely have to wait 10+ years if ever. At this point u don't think we'll ever get more than 1 on 1 capital ship combat. The game progress is nor really comming together...

@@NEOgeek402 they spend the money they get there is no 5 year reserve - if money stops development is dead. This game isn't getting done behind closed doors it's not getting done period.

"No. Best way to earn and only way I grind UEC is 9T medical runs. I've made about 50mil last I estimated, since 3.16 dropped alone.

Can you Imagine the look on a kid these days if you made him a sandbox with a few toys and told him, "the content is there if your creative enough to find it."

@@domusdebellum3042 You don't say?... I don't think you read my comment all the way through. Enlighten me on a game loop I've never heard of in SC outside role playing. I'll send you 5 million UEC if you surprise me.
This timing! I just ended 4 hour adventure with tho strangers. Guy asked for crew, didnt even answer for what ship. It turned out to be a Carrack. We were flying and doing missions. Bugs happened and we died, but we had fun. I now have two new friend contacts. It was a good day.
You can have the captain designate the targets when he locks on to them by pressing alt 1-9 and it will paint them for the gunners with the chosen number. Also don’t forget to set your mfd’s as a gunner to the target screen so show the targets shield weak spots ! Great content man!
I am a Gunnery Officer on a HammerHead within an in-game Organisation and we are practically undefeatable! The firepower of the HammerHead is insane and when you train a crew together it can be unbelievable, even when outnumbered by player ships
One thing to note: The Hammerhead and Carrack have the same amount of shields (200,000HP, by default) but the HH has about 3x as much Hull HP, overall.
on top of that, its important to use the proper shields for each ship. Both have space for 2x s3 shields. but the carrack having less physical armor value, and being a non-combat orientated ship. you would want industrial Parapet shield modules. Has a larger HP value and better distortion protection for quick and defensive combat scenarios. (unless you specifically choose to utilize this ship in a combat scenario which would lose to a corvette class or higher, or even a heavy fighter group in PVP) where the hammerhead is built for combat, does have that higher armor value, and should utilize proper military FR-86 shield modules for better shield regen times where the ships hull can do a better job putting up with direct physical impact during sustained combat scenarios. (using Parapet will force you to retreat longer during the period the shields are down, and although it armor rating is higher, doesn't regen like shields do) just putting this information along side yours in case someone saw your comment and didn't think to upgrade their ship loadout based on the hard statistics of the ship alone.
Carrack armor though is probably a tougher armor by default since its a military ship. The armor on military ships will be harder to crack with smaller weapons since they wont even be able to scratch it once they implement armor into this game. That probably applies more to capital ships since the Carrack is Large size. Size 6 weapons should be able to dent its armor, but it should take a bit longer to take down once that change happens than it does now. Right now the Carrack is made out of paper for that reason.
@@anthonyrodriguez96 also, the HH have different capacitors for ship and turrets so u can just go full shields or full thrusters and it wont affect your gunners
I heard Ship Armor as of yet. Is not used. As it does not make difference. It will in the future. At least that what I was told. By someone who really knows he game.
One thing to note is that getting together 6 people to crew a ship like that is no easy task. You need to first have all those people willing and ready to go and then everyone needs to be in the same spot. Travel takes time and getting from one end of the system to the other can take somewhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the Quantumdrive that´s installed and the size of the ship. Now Imagine this in the future with multiple systems, that´s a lot of preparation work from a lot of different people. When even one person in that group goofs around in can take hours to get going. The other people get bored and then do stuff they shouldn´t resulting in them getting killed and respawning at the other end of the system and so on. In short: organized play takes a lot of time, preparation and discipline. The more people you need to man a ship the harder it gets. Outside of Organizations playing together you will most likely not utilize a ship like the Hammerhead in solo play for a very long time. That´s why smaller ships with lower crew requirements are often times the better solution for most people playing SC. A Redeemer would be a fitting alternative to the Hammerhead as it only needs 3 people to crew the most vital stations and it also packs quite the punch. But convincing your friends to give the game a shot when it has been smack-talked by so many gaming news sites and youtubers as a scam is kinda hard. So if you lack friends to play with try looking for an org.
I mean, it's the same thing with tabletop games. The real problem is that these games are best suited for adults, and adult lives are usually not suited to these games. Kids, careers, spouses... rare is a group of six who actually keeps a schedule and puts in the effort to make it all reach its potential.

I honestly believe this type of teamwork gameplay will become the new multiplayer experience. Yes there’s been other games that have done it and they’ve done it well proving this is a ripe genre. It’s one thing to be on a squad in BF where there’s no real negative consequences even when you lose, but a game like this that punishes you and the team for not using tight teamwork and communication gives a different feeling of teamwork and satisfaction when things go right. I love this aspect and it pushes each person to do their best, a team is only as strong as it’s weakest link.
@@sashavenka it's an alpha..not everyone has the patience to be a playtester. But that doesn't justify calling it trash when it's not even completed. Angsty much?
Bro I love your star citizen content. It would be so sweet to have a whole crew and get to play more like that. I've only been in a fully crewed HH a handful of times and I've always loved it.
Im not denying everrything you said here, but I guess we old people remember the ORGINAL Star Wars Galaxies where we could man turrets! It was great and I love that Star Citizen is making this even better! But the Original Star Wars Galaxies had this way back in like 98 or so
yeah came with Jump to lightspeed, remember doing PvP with other Members of the Guild (there called PA for Player Associations) and you had a Pilot, a Co Pilot for ECM and Power Management, and Engineer or Engineers who repaired the inside of the Ship and of course Gunners (mostly 2 of them). Flying the YT1300 which was basically the Ship of Han Solo and having large Scale PvP Combat in it was so much fun. So sad they screwed the Game tenfold trying to be like WoW
This looks really fun! It makes you want to buy a "party bus" multi-turret ship to fly with friends. Although if anyone played as the tailgunner on this one they would have been pretty bored.
This... This... THIS! I have so desperately wanted a game that wasnt just about small single pilot space ships, but larger capital ships. I want to boradside a space ship battle. I want a giant ship to call my own with my friends. A carrier for my group that was worth having. PLEASE THIS IS MY DREAM!
I've been playing SC since the announcement of the development. Spent/spending $113,540 on SC. It feels amazing to see you featuring the game. If you'd like to feature the Kraken-privateer or the Idris-M when they release let me know.
wish i had that kind of $ to spend on this game. i got 2 ships. and spent like maybe $300.. i love the game but i stopped playing due to no friends and its kinda boring alone
Wait, you spent 100k on this game? I dont understand. Is there 100k worth of stuff to buy? Or did you end up buying the same thing multiple time? Can you buy gold? If your ship get exploded, do you have to buy it again? I understand whales buying gacha rolls...but this doesnt have loot boxes...
@@celuiquipeut6527 if you spend 1k I think it's 1k you get access to more expensive ships. I've heard there are ships that cost $3k.. there is a guy I know who spent 400k on this game and he has every ship available
@@shadowglass14 wooow thats ridiculus. They don't even have a working alpha yet. After so many years you'd think they wpupd be further on development. Can you access those ship by playing the game? Or is it just for the whales?
That moment when an alpha gameplay footage looks better, and more exciting, than a triple-A game from a billion-dollar company. I wouldn't mind seeing more Star Citizen content over Battlefield.
@@CDSAfghan lol The MMO wasn't part of the project until 2015 when we voted for it. 6 years. Even the Kickstarter was only 9 years ago. RDR2 took 8 to 9, and cost 4 times as much, CyberPunk took 9 to 10, doesn't have planets, doesn't have spaceships, both are single player games, both had ten times the staff, both cost more
@@celuiquipeut6527 the game in its current state is already better than anything else available, WOW is still getting updates 18 years later. Pull your pants up
I am most definitely looking forward to this game finally moving forward. However, I do want to say that Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed in 2004 had multi-crew spaceships with internal damage and power shunting and moving positions while in battle. Either way, this is all looking great and can't wait!
They showed off some demos of engineering a few years back and it looks awesome. There's been some dev teams working on it right now, so hopefully this year we'll start seeing it implemented. There was power relays to damage/replace, and even wires/pipes to carry resources/power throughout the ship that might need rerouting.
I used to play SWG back in the day also. Amazing how far the sci fi space sim and combat genre has come with all of the new tech developed since then :D
Salvage hasn't yet been implemented. So when the ship exploded and leaves a carcass behind in theory you will then be able to salvage what's left. I assume they are going to adjust the destruction physics as they get closer to implementing that system.
@@vorpalrobot I'm pretty sure they will try to make it as realistic as possible. I mean, they recently added the ability for the sparks and fire popping when firing at a ship's hull to adapt to its movement. I doubt that their plans only include adding physics to the VFXs, and not to the whole ship.
The big question for me would be: Who can actually use multi crew ships? Most people who can afford to buy these ships for real money have jobs, a family and lots of obligations. So the chance to find people who want to fly together with you in your ship seems very slim. Especially considering that they different ships need a different amount of people. So some days your friends are left out while other days you have to few friends to man the ship. That's very different from MMORPGS, where you always need the same amount of people for a dungeon and it is the same dungeon for every player.
im already seeing in a few years planet inhabiting/bases and massive air/land wars raging across the universe. mark my words this game will be huge here very soon
Just the fact that you can bail out of a ship and get picked up by someone sounds awesome. I bought SC ages ago, but my computer can only do around 10fps at the moment :(
I never realized just how flexible the turrets are basically allowing for so many them to point at a single target all at once. This makes me wonder if it will be at worth throwing extra players in a Corsair with it's new more mobile turrets.
i think the largest capital ship that will be flyable in game will be the javelin (the Bengal if in game, is not a purchasable ship and will have a limited amount in the verse that can be recovered, so i wont count it). the jav though fully manned at minimum capacity will require 17 personnel. 15 gunners, 1 pilot and 1 engineer/missile operator. Its maximum capacity states 80 personnel though. however with blade functionality. you can man one with 2 players, automate the rest of the ships operations. take the rest of the would be human crew members and put them in other ships to have more ships out battling. so even on a 50 player server, you could have a fleet battle consisting of multiple capitals, corvettes, fighters and bombers going at it. and that is without server meshing which of course will allow a higher player count to make these battles look like an all out space war. thats going to be epic
@@anthonyrodriguez96 AI blades will be limited though, because they will require more (energy? computational power?) from the ship systems, so you won't be able to automate all the systems, only a bunch of them AI crew would be the answer, but they will cost a lot, and you will also have to maintain them with food and shit, otherwise their performance will drop
@@uncannyvalley2350 anything larger than a Destroyer will not be able to be logged out. The big cap ships will always be in game, they will be org ships basically. It will require orgs to man 24/7. Plus NPC crews will be a thing too
Good luck! And, believe me..it won't be a mistake. But, just keep patience; obviously as you know, it's an alpha and it's going to be in development for a while longer still. But, it's worth it, especially to get to be a part of the community!
It's weird how suddenly star citizen is in a state where people genuinely see it as a viable game I'm glad people finally appreciate the effort that has gone into this games development after years of nay-sayers, must've been seriously hard for CIG to cope with all the hate they've gotten over the years... :( Been with SC since 2016
I came here for this comment, everyone in the past week from what ive seen is all of a sudden much more positive about it. We might just be at that point.
They kind of deserved the hate for all the missed deadlines. Been following since 2012 but I just bought in this month for the first time. It's worth the money now.
The one thing they really need to change on the HH are the turret firing angles. its very hard to hit fighters who are close to you when they are directly above or below you, as well as actively bring 5 turrets to shoot simultaneously at a single target. Aka, add about 20°-30° more firing arch per turret (especially the side turrets) and the Hammerhead would really fulfill its role.
Something like this was attempted back in the early days.. win98 game. That game was way ahead of its time so sadly enough it didnt pan out but was an amazing inspiration to many other games especially since its the only game that has ever been made freeware and open source by microsoft (well maybe that has changed but I doubt that) the game was called allegiance.
This has probably been mentioned before but the ability to hire NPCs would be great, especially for people that like to play alone. You could just order them to go somewhere, hold stuff, occupy turrets, "engage on sight" or "wait for order", help with mining, etc...
Wow!! I'm impressed, as years go on and technology gets even better, people are going to hate coming off their PC's etc and having to deal with the real world.. Yes I know that's an probably and exaggeration, but it might happen...🤔 Great clip....
So immersive. No single player game can ever beat the experience of playing with real humans. Reminds me of the time Spock said to Kirk - "Trolololol we gonna pwn some n00bzz".
I can easily see that this will become my favourite game at some point. It just still needs a lot of work in the PvP segment and overall when it comes to farming, missions etc. I mean it already evolved from the beginning of course. But we still talking about an alpha status game. I think in maybe 2 years we will be in the Beta and the game could be released by 2027 or something like that when everything works out well.
I did this once, with this ship all turrets full, and a hurricate and other ships, everything melted within seconds, it was glorious, i think we were 20 people.
another much less well known game that does space ship crew gameplay extremely well, infact being built around the concept of the star track bridge crew, is pulsar: lost colony, whihc i would highly recomend
I suck at flying in any type of game but Im very good at ground FPS and what not. I found some dudes wanting gunners and I had the most fun I have ever had in a team of 5 just being a gunner on a ship. If only they can get the optimization down this game could be one of the biggest games to ever come out.
Love the idea of the engineer running around putting out fires; repairing key systems, etc. Turning combat into FTL basically.
Heres CIGs plan for that th-cam.com/video/J5nzNXY8dlg/w-d-xo.html
Reminds me of Guns of Icarus

Nothing like complimenting them with fighters like sabres
Star citizen looks like what we need from star wars battlefront 3 😁 thanks for showing off this game!
I suppose that's the ultimate power of friendship that I've heard so much about.
Bro I love your star citizen content. It would be so sweet to have a whole crew and get to play more like that. I've only been in a fully crewed HH a handful of times and I've always loved it.
It sounds awesome, I've never experienced a fully maned HammerHead, we should try it sometime if we get the chance, Braunson.
Have a good one!
Im not denying everrything you said here, but I guess we old people remember the ORGINAL Star Wars Galaxies where we could man turrets! It was great and I love that Star Citizen is making this even better! But the Original Star Wars Galaxies had this way back in like 98 or so
yeah came with Jump to lightspeed, remember doing PvP with other Members of the Guild (there called PA for Player Associations) and you had a Pilot, a Co Pilot for ECM and Power Management, and Engineer or Engineers who repaired the inside of the Ship and of course Gunners (mostly 2 of them). Flying the YT1300 which was basically the Ship of Han Solo and having large Scale PvP Combat in it was so much fun. So sad they screwed the Game tenfold trying to be like WoW
So much wasted potential in that game.
used your referral code recently to try the game. I have no idea what i'm doing but i love fulfilling my dream of being a space marine.
Ask the ingame chat for help on how to play and/or what to do. We are very welcoming.
Ah dude that thumbnail had me laughing. Loving your SC content though , epic stuff
This looks really fun! It makes you want to buy a "party bus" multi-turret ship to fly with friends. Although if anyone played as the tailgunner on this one they would have been pretty bored.
I'm looking into the future and see this as becoming a great game for putting together opposing carrier groups.
Capital Ships are planned
This... This... THIS! I have so desperately wanted a game that wasnt just about small single pilot space ships, but larger capital ships. I want to boradside a space ship battle. I want a giant ship to call my own with my friends. A carrier for my group that was worth having. PLEASE THIS IS MY DREAM!
I've been playing SC since the announcement of the development. Spent/spending $113,540 on SC. It feels amazing to see you featuring the game. If you'd like to feature the Kraken-privateer or the Idris-M when they release let me know.
wish i had that kind of $ to spend on this game. i got 2 ships. and spent like maybe $300.. i love the game but i stopped playing due to no friends and its kinda boring alone
Wait, you spent 100k on this game?
I dont understand. Is there 100k worth of stuff to buy? Or did you end up buying the same thing multiple time?
Can you buy gold?
If your ship get exploded, do you have to buy it again?
I understand whales buying gacha rolls...but this doesnt have loot boxes...
@@celuiquipeut6527 if you spend 1k I think it's 1k you get access to more expensive ships. I've heard there are ships that cost $3k.. there is a guy I know who spent 400k on this game and he has every ship available
@@shadowglass14 wooow thats ridiculus. They don't even have a working alpha yet. After so many years you'd think they wpupd be further on development. Can you access those ship by playing the game? Or is it just for the whales?
@@celuiquipeut6527 not sure. I do know when the game releases your suppose to be able to buy all ships with ingame currency..
That moment when an alpha gameplay footage looks better, and more exciting, than a triple-A game from a billion-dollar company.
I wouldn't mind seeing more Star Citizen content over Battlefield.
lol 8 years of alpha and +$600mil, yeah what an indie dev achievement.
@@CDSAfghan and the game will launch in 20 years. Imagine having a whole career and never releasing the game you arw working on.
@@CDSAfghan lol The MMO wasn't part of the project until 2015 when we voted for it. 6 years. Even the Kickstarter was only 9 years ago.
RDR2 took 8 to 9, and cost 4 times as much, CyberPunk took 9 to 10, doesn't have planets, doesn't have spaceships, both are single player games, both had ten times the staff, both cost more
@@celuiquipeut6527 the game in its current state is already better than anything else available, WOW is still getting updates 18 years later. Pull your pants up
@@uncannyvalley2350 wow is a fun8shed game. Th8s is an alpha. Wake the fuck up.
I am most definitely looking forward to this game finally moving forward. However, I do want to say that Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed in 2004 had multi-crew spaceships with internal damage and power shunting and moving positions while in battle. Either way, this is all looking great and can't wait!
They showed off some demos of engineering a few years back and it looks awesome. There's been some dev teams working on it right now, so hopefully this year we'll start seeing it implemented.
There was power relays to damage/replace, and even wires/pipes to carry resources/power throughout the ship that might need rerouting.
I used to play SWG back in the day also. Amazing how far the sci fi space sim and combat genre has come with all of the new tech developed since then :D
So jarring when the exploding ships loose all momentum, I assume that's a bug
I think it’s a physics thing where the velocity of the ship doesn’t transfer to the wreck… we’ll see how CIG changes things.
Salvage hasn't yet been implemented. So when the ship exploded and leaves a carcass behind in theory you will then be able to salvage what's left. I assume they are going to adjust the destruction physics as they get closer to implementing that system.
@@LevelCapGaming You can expect it to improve, but not be "realistic". More fun and movie-realistic is their style.
they probably turned it off for now because they didn't want a random wreck flying off forever needing to be tracked, the server cry enough as is lol
@@vorpalrobot I'm pretty sure they will try to make it as realistic as possible. I mean, they recently added the ability for the sparks and fire popping when firing at a ship's hull to adapt to its movement. I doubt that their plans only include adding physics to the VFXs, and not to the whole ship.
More more more! Thanks for the videos 👍
Imagine using this ship as a AC-130 in Ground Combat :D
I thought the same. Good idea right!
From everything I've seen so far this game is a good as it looks. It's nice to see a game that's actually living up to the promos! Great video.
You forgot your meds today or go to Specsavers.
The big question for me would be: Who can actually use multi crew ships? Most people who can afford to buy these ships for real money have jobs, a family and lots of obligations. So the chance to find people who want to fly together with you in your ship seems very slim. Especially considering that they different ships need a different amount of people. So some days your friends are left out while other days you have to few friends to man the ship. That's very different from MMORPGS, where you always need the same amount of people for a dungeon and it is the same dungeon for every player.
MOAR! I’m dead chuffed you are part of the verse now ☺️
Pretty sure he's been a Citizen of the 'Verse for at least 5 yrs already
im already seeing in a few years planet inhabiting/bases and massive air/land wars raging across the universe. mark my words this game will be huge here very soon
Looks pretty nice, my nephews nephews children will def enjoy this game
man you're making me wanna install again and give it another go. last time I tried I couldn't get the damn ship out of the hanger.
I have the perseus, can't wait for that baby with my friends.
When permission system is implemented, turret gunner, missile, power systems, engineer assignments and all will be even more so fun.
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK!!! Keep true to your teammates! Be true to yourself!! Teammates!!!
Just the fact that you can bail out of a ship and get picked up by someone sounds awesome. I bought SC ages ago, but my computer can only do around 10fps at the moment :(
Yoy sound just like a young Norm Macdonald. I love it.
really great content, excited to see more
I was super excited for something like this... ten years ago.
Just imagine an entire fleet of these ships in formation that then just opens fires all at once on a single ship.
first salvo would disintegrate it
this game sounds already better than elite dangerous and the fact that you walk inside ur ship is so awesome. Sadly the game is kinda expensive atm.
In EVE Online it would be "When 1 player flies 150 ships"
I never realized just how flexible the turrets are basically allowing for so many them to point at a single target all at once. This makes me wonder if it will be at worth throwing extra players in a Corsair with it's new more mobile turrets.
If you hold F4 and scroll wheel out you can zoom out significantly in bigger ships. Also, F4 + (Numpad Up/Numpad Down) change the FOV of your camera
And if you hold Alt and F4 you can get some sweet cinematic views
@@LeftJoystick Best advice yet. You can also do WIN+R , Type Control Panel , go to uninstall Features and uninstall this crap
@@NightFyreTV - You're dealing with some dangerously high salt levels, friendo. You really should see a doctor about that! 😁
in the year 2040 we might be able to play this
I've always wanted what it looks like if two fully crewed HH's fought I wish someone would get their org to do that. It would be epic.
Imagine something like the Enterprise with 100 people on board manning all different systems...
i think the largest capital ship that will be flyable in game will be the javelin (the Bengal if in game, is not a purchasable ship and will have a limited amount in the verse that can be recovered, so i wont count it).
the jav though fully manned at minimum capacity will require 17 personnel. 15 gunners, 1 pilot and 1 engineer/missile operator. Its maximum capacity states 80 personnel though.
however with blade functionality. you can man one with 2 players, automate the rest of the ships operations. take the rest of the would be human crew members and put them in other ships to have more ships out battling. so even on a 50 player server, you could have a fleet battle consisting of multiple capitals, corvettes, fighters and bombers going at it. and that is without server meshing which of course will allow a higher player count to make these battles look like an all out space war. thats going to be epic
@@anthonyrodriguez96 AI blades will be limited though, because they will require more (energy? computational power?) from the ship systems, so you won't be able to automate all the systems, only a bunch of them
AI crew would be the answer, but they will cost a lot, and you will also have to maintain them with food and shit, otherwise their performance will drop
@@gian.4388 exactly, so people need to realize, the larger the ship, the larger the operating costs.
Those costs means that the big guns will only come out on special occasions, which is good. But imagine the ingame convoys we will be able to create
@@uncannyvalley2350 anything larger than a Destroyer will not be able to be logged out. The big cap ships will always be in game, they will be org ships basically. It will require orgs to man 24/7. Plus NPC crews will be a thing too
just bought 250e worth of ships. Hopefully not a mistake. Good content! Thanks!
Good luck! And, believe me..it won't be a mistake. But, just keep patience; obviously as you know, it's an alpha and it's going to be in development for a while longer still. But, it's worth it, especially to get to be a part of the community!
Ooh, did you buy a Constellation or something?
@@drksideofthewal I bought Aurora and Cutlass. They were about 200e when I checked again.
@@RemuxIv
Solid ships, and you can always melt and exchange them for “store credit” if you want to try something else. There are videos on that.
I wish I had enough friends to play a game like this 😢
Pulling out of the hanger, The ship looked like the Millennium Falcon.
I look forward to my great grandson/granddaughter being able to enjoy this.
The same joke, every single time
Now that’s a “Sigma series Railjack”
Love these star citizen videos, LevelCap!
It's weird how suddenly star citizen is in a state where people genuinely see it as a viable game
I'm glad people finally appreciate the effort that has gone into this games development after years of nay-sayers, must've been seriously hard for CIG to cope with all the hate they've gotten over the years... :(
Been with SC since 2016
Been here since 2017 and I'm happy the game is in a great state of play rn.
I came here for this comment, everyone in the past week from what ive seen is all of a sudden much more positive about it.
We might just be at that point.
Backed on Kickstarter 😆
Oh no, it's so hard to receive 400 million dollars and some actual critisism.
They kind of deserved the hate for all the missed deadlines. Been following since 2012 but I just bought in this month for the first time. It's worth the money now.
I really want see MORE of Multi Crew combats
I hope we will see cool role-plays in star citizen from air to ground combat
Phazers, blasters, power blast.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew looks sick af now. I like this game.
Its nice when you hear explosions in space
the sound it fking addicting holy shit. the explosions god damnn
The one thing they really need to change on the HH are the turret firing angles. its very hard to hit fighters who are close to you when they are directly above or below you, as well as actively bring 5 turrets to shoot simultaneously at a single target. Aka, add about 20°-30° more firing arch per turret (especially the side turrets) and the Hammerhead would really fulfill its role.
Something like this was attempted back in the early days.. win98 game. That game was way ahead of its time so sadly enough it didnt pan out but was an amazing inspiration to many other games especially since its the only game that has ever been made freeware and open source by microsoft (well maybe that has changed but I doubt that) the game was called allegiance.
Loving the star citizen content!! Keep it coming.
The grind for auc is insanely fun my first week on
Dude. This is a dream of mine. 100%. I want to be an interstallar pirate/bounty hunter. With a crew.
I need to do this.
This has probably been mentioned before but the ability to hire NPCs would be great, especially for people that like to play alone. You could just order them to go somewhere, hold stuff, occupy turrets, "engage on sight" or "wait for order", help with mining, etc...
some of those in the start of the small clips gave me planetside vibes from back in the time
absolute satisfying footage
I can't wait for this game to release to try this!
Wow!! I'm impressed, as years go on and technology gets even better, people are going to hate coming off their PC's etc and having to deal with the real world..
Yes I know that's an probably and exaggeration, but it might happen...🤔
Great clip....
this looks freaking awesome
Looking forward to the Kraken gameplay.. LOOKS UNREAL
So immersive. No single player game can ever beat the experience of playing with real humans. Reminds me of the time Spock said to Kirk - "Trolololol we gonna pwn some n00bzz".
Imagine a Planetside 2 type battle opportunity in Star Citizen, that’d be sick
But Planetside 2 is a shallow boring game
@@numalesoybea1348 The comparison I was making was the large scale battles, the opinion of it’s “shallow” or not isn’t the point
Thats cool owned a hammer head in 3.16 but could never find enough crew to try it out.
Don't have PC but will soon I think just because of this game and a few others There goes my free time ...😅
Quitting your job gives you tons of free time. Pro tip right there.
I already play Xsx apex siege and pubg so many games these days
Dont need a pc bro, just get geforce now or boosteroid
I can easily see that this will become my favourite game at some point. It just still needs a lot of work in the PvP segment and overall when it comes to farming, missions etc. I mean it already evolved from the beginning of course. But we still talking about an alpha status game. I think in maybe 2 years we will be in the Beta and the game could be released by 2027 or something like that when everything works out well.
My grandkids are going to love this in 2050.
I did this once, with this ship all turrets full, and a hurricate and other ships, everything melted within seconds, it was glorious, i think we were 20 people.
Man I’d love to try this game!
i am still learning how to fly ships
another much less well known game that does space ship crew gameplay extremely well, infact being built around the concept of the star track bridge crew, is pulsar: lost colony, whihc i would highly recomend
I suck at flying in any type of game but Im very good at ground FPS and what not. I found some dudes wanting gunners and I had the most fun I have ever had in a team of 5 just being a gunner on a ship. If only they can get the optimization down this game could be one of the biggest games to ever come out.
I absolutely loved flying in a hammerhead. I thought about buying one as a pledge but then I saw how much it costs lol
