Star Citizen aims to span multiple video game types by combining space trading, space combat and shooter elements, in a first person massively multiplayer online game. In October of 2012, Chris Roberts, the creator of the wing commander series, launched a Kickstarter Campaign whose goal was to create the seamless persistent universe and the narrative player experience squadron 42. The project continues to break Guinness Records through incredible community support. Despite the technical hurdles, CIG demonstrates tangible results and continues to prove to its backers that the impossible is becoming possible. The scope and scale of the game increased as more funding was pledged, which became known as feature creep. Most accept that delays, although frustrating, do result in obvious progress. The player backers are given early access to the current live version of the game code, to test and offer feedback. The player experience changes from enjoyable to frustrating and back again, sometimes day by day. Star Citizen can be enjoyed, and take a break when it suits you. Numerous content creators cover the ongoing situation to keep you informed and up to day. As an early backer and tester, you need to be ready for its quirks but you can also witness the game evolve.

I melted my Taurus when i had a chance to buy a Endeavour last year at the Annual sale. I really like the Taurus and it fits my needs. im sure ill repurchase it at some point, that and my Herald I melted.
I found this video as refreshing as a punch to the nether regions!
The Connie "Actually Useful" is the version we all need. It was the first ship I longed for after my first Kickstarter pledge, and was my first CCU from a 300i. I always saw the snub fighter as a scout, and not really practical in defense.
Same, I remember first pledging for an Aurora, and just dreaming about getting the connie
I don't understand the current SNUB craft.
At least, not the ones without a quantum drive.
That just seems exceptionally problematic.
But, that's what they're going with, so... Eh.
On that note, I don't think a p-52 makes a useful scout given it's lack of ability to reasonably travel even to a nearby moon or other side of a planet...
@@KuraIthys They could definitely use a very short distance QT drive. If the M50 and such have one, then why not, because as you say, they have very limited capacity for anything useful.
I hate the snub, I only pledged the Taurus when I learned it ditched it for more SCU (God I love them SCU) That being said CIG should seriously get that worked on, cause atm cargo ships by capacity have a sheer jump from 120ish SCU in the FL Max to 291 SCU in the Starfarer, and there's not really an in between ship for the money. if the Taurus has near 200 or at least more than 150 it'll help close that gap, and as they add in Pyro, the HULLs, and cargo decks, having a ship that can do some bulky moon to station cargo runs is gonna be very nice.
Based on the survey on the subreddit recently though, the Connies need a rework more than any other ship (sad starfarer noises), and I think it's time to get them done alongside the Taurus release, which from the description on the Invictus Fleet Week holo viewer suggests a 2021/2951 release, hopefully they mean early 2021 at least, lol
@@KuraIthys I like to think of it as a one seater MPUV with a gun. It's meant to act like a Captain's yacht, or a gun dingy.
Connie NEEDS a rework.
This so fucking much. Rework it to the mantis style.
My hope is that the reason the Taurus keeps dropping from the road map is because they are updating the shit out of all the Connie interiors to match the Mantis style and hopefully a handling buff.
@@stgwi That's my suspicion too. It would be so easy to just release another variant short term, give people another ship to be happy with. But they're not. There has to be a reason.
Well they already said in a video recently that it's not going to happen, ever. The only thing they will do is make the components fit, and fixes, that's it. My understanding of the Taurus is that both the Safe storage space and the normal cargo are the issue for them, because of the Multi Physics Grid issue with elevators, since this is a much bigger elevator, they are holding up on that until those issues are fixed, also the safe cargo also exists in the Mercury, so perhaps they are waiting for that to exist in the Mercury.
All speculation of course.
@@duramirez this is Chris Roberts baby... its going to get a rework... I'm pretty sure he's not satisfied with every other ship is out shining it... no matter what John crew says... you can't take his word... plenty of ships and features being made not shown...
Man, that first version of the Phoenix looks like what we'd expect from greybox these days. Quality has surely improved a huge amount.
I'd really like CIG to buff the snubs to make them worth taking. Solo, I just don't see them making a significant difference, but I love their design and kinda wish we had a carrier set up a bit like the Galactica or with launch tubes that could pump out a whole wing of Merlins. Maybe there could be upgrade packages to tune them up and turn them into a craft akin to Spike Spiegel's Swordfish, ridiculous firepower, obscene speed and manoeuvrability, with limited quantum, made out of tissue paper, tape and good intentions. If they're not going to do anything interesting with the snubs they might as well give the Connie's a drone bay, at least then you might get some use out of them and you could week which kinds of drone you bring depending on the job.
Love the series. Finally getting up to speed on the ship lore. Thanks.
Oh my gosh, the connie being split into 4 happened in 2014??? It feels like only a few years ago....
This video has put me on a nostalgia trip...
I really enjoy your content! This is some top tier info and so interesting to review the history of ships both in lore- and out of lore. Please keep on going, this series is a gem among Star Citizen content on TH-cam!
Makes me fall in love with the Connie all over again. Until I fly it. Thanks for doing all this research! Hopefully the Connie gets a rework and turned into a Mk6 model. Would love to use it again and be better.
Always wanted a connie, now i know that i need to wait yet.
Really enjoyed the in-depth amount of lore in this video, and also historical reveals, etc.
Really like these deep lore and ship dives. The no bullshit format translates well for a consise and informative experience.
Fantastic content! CIG should license these videos and make them official. Such a great introduction for those coming late into the project or even a good reminder of the history that led the game to where it is now.
Bravo man.. bravo. I may be called sentimental but the Connie was my backer ship in 2012 and is the only ship I have never melted. I just can't bring myself to let her go even if she is broken and almost useless. Thank you Noobifier for all you do.. but especially for this one.
OMG that tripod one had me LMAO
Love flying that ship and with Size 2 and Rank 1 components she can be made to be as, OP as when she first appeared!
YES! Happy to see this series is clearly here to stay haha :D
I wondered about the cagey wording of John Crewe's response weeks ago about the Connie not getting redone, almost like it will be the brand new 2950 series coming, rather than a rework of the old and in line with the Mantis and Apollo style. But it is likely just a delirious and hazy dream that reads into how he was just saying NO.
I melted my emerald pheonix immediately and bought the Corsair to replace my Aquila when I heard him say that.
@@LilPres0 Well, I melted my Taurus and changed my Mantis into a Hercules C2 Starlifter. Two fell swoops and RSI no longer represented in my hangar.
I CCU'd to the BMM. I gave up as well.
There will be a new version of the Connie eventually, the old one is awful and doesn't match RSI current standard.
He didn't say that there never would be a rework and that they consider it completed, he basically just said that there isn't one on the cards right now, not even some secret one (which I have seen be the theory on why the taurus keeps getting delayed). There will definitely be work put into the connie at some point, just not any time soon. Still unfortunate, but better than "whelp, this is my life now".
Finally! My most favored and controversial ship! Thank you Noobifier!
It has such an iconic look
I love these history series! And I cant believe these stats on veiwer/sub ratio, that would be frustrating!
makes me cry atm :) my poor connie needs some QOL to it i hope it comes soon
Awesome rundown that brought me back to the nostalgia of when I first backed!
That Phoenix has come a long way from that gaudy ship I recall back when she was first hangar ready.
Still need a suitable bathroom on the Phoenix. It's a game and who cares, right? It's more immersive when the ships make sense.
To be fair, I have a 600i Explorer and I've looked for the second bathroom 4 times and still can't find it. Worse yet, the apparently sole bathroom is all the way back in the crew section. What kind of space yacht requires you do your business in the section reserved for the indentured serv...err, I mean highly valued but likely unwashed crew? Clearly this is a plague on all the reasonably priced luxury ships.
I want to take a shit on my ship then service it later and manually empty the lav
Иван Грозный lmao
@@austinm5630 unless you count the one in the captains suite
Thank you, Noobifier, for pointing out, twice, that the Taurus is the ONLY CONSTELLATION NOT FLIGHT READY! I'm guessing CIG wants to fix the cargo elevator first, which means, the physics grids. I'm not disappointed, though, even if CIG has put it on the road map, twice, gettng everyone's hopes up.
I meant to post this suggestion but ended up forgetting to submit my version.
The Constellation Mauler, replace the cargo holder for a big EMP generator and the upper turret to actually shoot an EMP to disable larger ships.
The EMP turret could be manned, and a player actually target Ships of all sizes and he can control the intensity/size of the EMP beam ray to shoot.
This would be a great ship to fight bigger ships like Capital and other big ones.
always cool to see how we got to where we are now
Insane. Again what a video. That 2016 gamescon footage was insane
I vote for the Actually Useful. I love the presence this ship has but the interior makes me sad.
That's my ship !!! I can't wait for a Taurus rework. I got the Andromeda as a loaner ship but I feel the Taurus will be a good option to the Cat or anything bigger. The Taurus is quite cheap and can still carry quite a lot.
Cheers
Used to hate the Connie, but I recently hijacked a pirate Connie and used it for an afternoon. It was actually quite fun!
I'll take that Constellation Francis and blast the "its my birthday" song from Thor Ragnarok around Port Olisar all year long. On a more serious note though, I really enjoy this series, especially with the over arching lore.
Thank you for your time, awesome job
I can feel the work that went behind this vid. Thanks Noob 😊
Best ship in the game. Its good at everything.
The first large ship i've saw in the PU was a connie, I was stuck in area18 because of the subway and a guy came in this gigantic thing to take me from that nightmare, it was really nice - a shame the ship feels so old and unpolished.
Two thoughts - one about the Taurus rework being 'simple', and one about the snubs:
Taurus Rework: Honestly, it's probably far less simple than all that. Since the cargo area stretches all the way back into where the Snub would be and we know it has a larger lift, this means that neither of the aft two sections of the Taurus will match up with ANY other Constellation model, and they need a from-scratch redesign, outside and in, because they have one section to deal with, instead of two. Add to that, the bridge area replacing the lower turret with the shielded cargo section - that isn't as big a rework, but it means the front section also has to be redone. So the only assets that they can reuse for the Taurus are in the central crew area.
Snubs: The snub is far more valuable than another turret. A turret isn't a separate target that has to be dealt with, while a snub is, and its weapons are likely more dangerous, because they don't have a limited field of fire and the inherent troubles that come with turret targeting. Likewise, a turret can't be used for recon, checking out an area too tight for the connie to fit in, or in advance of the connie, taking the risk in its stead. A turret can't be used by a medic or mechanic to move to a location to help out without having to move the whole ship, and it spends far less fuel moving to and from atmo than a connie might. The snub is also much cheaper and faster to replace than the Connie is, with regards to an insurance claim. Ideally, the Snub on the Connie should be an ROV of some kind, though, instead of a piloted ship, but there are benefits to having the seat filled.
Awesome video! A great effort in making in producing this. Well done, Noobifier!
I think the Conny is probably the most likely to happen IRL. A functional ship that is then upgraded for luxury travel and towards the end of it's life everything gets ripped out and it gets turned into a cargo hauler.
Imo every snub and the argo should get a short range quantum drive for travel around a planet...
Thank you! Good info for someone (like me) contemplating purchasing a Conny
My first ship! Really hope they redo the Connie series...again. Can't wait to get the physical box in my hands!
Same and same. I dont think it needs a lot. Remote turrets, at least on the bottom, to enable proper LOS and angles and make use of the awesome front seat(s). A new rear toilet for the phoenix. And most importantly... FINALLY ditching the stupid hydraulic lift and giving us a proper ramp. Can you imagine landning that thing in a fire fight, and just slowly getting lowered to the ground on that little pad while people shoot at you? lmao
@@DOAM1234 I'd argue the Phoenix also needs an airlock for the rear area.
I don't understand why the medium size 'luxury' ships omit these, given that surely the passengers on a luxury ship would want to board without having to resort to a spacewalk...
I can imagine a Phoenix or 600i docking to an 890 jump so that you can do a fully pressurised passenger transfer, yet the current designs make that seemingly impossible.
@@KuraIthys very good point. fuck the connie is terrible
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂... The Constellation Francis was to much for me...Coffee all over my kitchen table...just take my money 😂
Thanks for review on the connie. I own one and almost love it. It might be flight ready but it really needs some more work on the flight model and shields. Once they get done with it , it will be a hell of a ship.
Thanks for this series. It's a very well done job and we can learn something new in every video.
lol, didnt think my "connie francis" pun would make it :D bit special to pick up on maybe but there it is. thanks for putting it in
I hope the coni gets one more rework. It feels like it is just not in line with the other ships at this point. Great video and fun to look back at the history.
Excellent historical run down. To me it’s basically a space Winnebago toy hauler available with different interior trims that looks a bit like the Eagles from Space 1999.
With port and starboard docking ports, I can see people building mini space stations with them.
It needs a rework though. Some of it makes no sense even on Mk4
Thanks for the vid was trying to the Connie's history lore at work today on rsi
I recently got the Connie and I really like it. It’s a pretty damn good multipurpose vessel that is large enough to do significant transport duties while being small enough to land in most places. I cannot wait for a rework and the Taurus to come out.
I really like this series Noob. I know they are a lot of work, but they are really cool and a fun look back.
I really like this series and so far have kearned a ton about the various ships and the company. Thanks for investing the time on the videos. Cheers! Canuck_2099
We'll crafted. Great work N00bifier!
Great video ty! This ship is so iconic looking. I'd rather keep mine as hangar eye candy than sell it lol
Really thorough research (as always) - thank you! I particularly liked the CIG background. As a relatively new player it would be great to have a fully version of the history of the game / CIG in general!?
Oh... The Phoenix did end up getting the shielded cargo area. 👍🏼
No remote turret
TheNOOBIFIER1337 Yes, it gets a PDT. But it was a little while back. When they said they’d made a mistake and it wouldn’t get the dampened cargo pocket area it pissed a bunch of people off. They then went back and said they will go back and look at giving the cargo area a dampener when that gameplay comes into effect. Here’s straight from the RSI website and Jared’s words... “In it's simplest form: this was originally intended to be an either/or proposition, and in building the Constellation this year, we chose to stay as close to the true original intent of the Phoenix as we could, with top and bottom turrets and a whole lot of baller style. The Phoenix was not intended to have an entire cargo area be shielded, and there are no mentions of an entire shielded cargo hold in the brochure, the original sales pages or our own internal design briefs, only the errant mentions of a "sensor-dampened cargo pocket" that were in direct conflict with the bottom turret.
As for the post-reveal 2014 messaging of shielding the entire cargo hold, that is what we intend to re-evaluate when more sensor-based gameplay comes online. We know things change often in game development, and we want to offer every opportunity we can to align with this expectation, and will update you with any potential changes in this feature if they occur.”
If you care to read the whole thing it explains it in more detail here: robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/65300/thread/notes-about-the-phoenix-from-rtv/1495225
Worth the effort IMHO
neat history, sharing with my org mates :) Thank you!
A great ship, gone out of fashion. When the Taurus drops, we'll see it everywhere.
I love my Connie-A, I just took it for a spin this morning actually. The ship needs some Dev time badly as its engine break off if you look at them wrong and the ships controls, pitch/yaw is horrendous!
It really is a beast of a ship if you engage at 4km. I can zoom into an AO, slow throttle, lock a target at 10km then work my way in at around 4.5km I'll begin to kite the enemies ( reversing @ 150-ish) and pew pew NPCs in no time doing bounties. If you are farming bounties, the Connie is a lot quicker than trying to do it with a fighter, even my Warden is slower at clearing bounties.
The Constellation is still my favorite!
Really amazing work. I really like these installments
I Like the Connie Style, but we need an interior rework.
Even if ot needs work, man do I love my Connie. Frontal firepower is ridiculous and I've been carrying my Ursa around to check up some beautiful moon sceneries.
Fantastic!! Can't wait for a video on the Star Runner when it releases!!
Despite all of it's current problems, I still love my connie and don't regret for one moment grabbing the rear admiral package. It's one of my favorite looking ships in the game so far, and once we eventually get the mkV makeover to bring it up to snuff with modern ships, I'm sure it will be an amazing craft to carry you through the verse.
Great video! I love learning the history of the game. I look forward to more videos like this.
Another great video in the series especially the historical content for the context of where the ship comes from.
This truly highlights another thing though of how much the Constellation is becoming a relic of an era gone by when it was considered the "BIG" multi-crew ship, granted it still is one. There are things about it which are good in its design but in the scheme of things as newer ships come out of the pipeline the series is showing its age for certain with only other ships like the Starfarer being worse condition. My concern is that the ship is not going to get (another) rework to bring it in line with current metrics and standards. As it stands I cannot imagine living/working aboard a ship like a constellation as the spaces within do not seem very habitable.
If there is some plan to bring the series into line I am assuming that work is far down the line and years from now along with the other ships that will be revisited and re-evaluated on how they exist within whatever future gameplay systems have been completed by then.
Excellent work - I joins SC in early December last year and this is great “catch up” material for me! Thanks!
Good catchup, could do with a section at the end on current issues and generally agreed drawbacks to the ship.
I'm a simple man. I see Constellation or Carrack, I click. I just hope they do the Connie justice someday.
To be fair the connie is almost there. It doesn’t need much to be a decent ship.
Outstanding presentation. Thank you for sharing.
Would love to see the Andromeda version get two decks, double the size of its cargo area to store missiles, rockets if it's going to be a gunship. This would then complete this war machine.
Consatallation is a really good name indeed
Huh. So, if that lore is correct, the slowest quantum drive the game currently has is 17.9x as fast as the very first quantum drive created...
I mean, we are talking nearly 900 years of tech development here, but that's still fascinating...
Great video. After seeing the Taurus at Fleet Week I am holding out hope that we will see it next year as I think (I may be wrong) it was the only ship that had 2951 in front of its name. The plaque said something about captains are eagerly waiting for the 2951 Taurus to be brought into service. It sounds like it is a new model so hopefully, that means refresh.
Bravo.
I appreciate hearing your point of view at the time, as someone who just finished lurking.
I really want them to do a serious re-work on this ship. I backed with this ship at the end of the kickstarter and the beginning of the next phase. I have thanks to your giveaway the MSR to compare it to. Holy cow! So much potential space in the connie and it feels much smaller than the MSR. They should extend the bottom of the area forward of the cargo section to create a lower deck for entry egress and provide some additional space for crew and a med bay. This widening and creation of a lower deck would allow for re-work of vridge/living areas. In the mid section widen it a bit to provide a capt's "quarters", to be more of a private bunk type than a real suite. These changes would make it more believable, usable and practical. CIg hear our please! If I had the choices, Fix flight related issues, realistic landing gear, living space issues forward(lower deck and rework with wider sections) and aft widen the whole ship as well for a bit more area above cargo for living/working areas while slightly expanding or simply maintaining current cargo space. BTW widening the cargo section of the ship would allow a bit more room on the lowering cargo ramp thingy for more toys!
You cannot hide the existence of the RSI Constellation Balls. It will be in the lore! The balls are too big to ignore.
I got the upgrade to the andromeda as soon as I seen it. Absolutely stunning looking ship. It is plagued with issues at the moment in 3.9 and there doesn't seem to be a fix coming any time soon.
For fan inspired ships, the constellation Andromeda Strain gets my vote a lot of laughs
Yeah I liked your videos before, but when you started informing me about things I didnt know about my own ship(phoniex) I had to subscribe and like. Good job man! Loved the video!
and thank you for making this series.
Oh man I learnd a lot, really well put together noob
Absolutely Brilliant, thanks bud...
I was in your game this morning lol. It was an honor Noob
I actually really like the idea of the mercy variant. Actually Useful is definitely my number 2 choice.
Love the Connie, my daily driver! Defiantly agree it needs a rework/revision!
Yay, my second ship in the game I got ever! Mine is from the 2014 extended stretch goal drive and has a bunch of physical and digital swag with it. Love this series of course as I have mentioned in each one so far. Thank you for the time and effort you spend on this series. So worth it and very enjoyable. Plus as I have said this is really great for the new backers to get a feel for some of the development they missed. Looking forward to the next one!
I really enjoy this format very well done !
Thanks Noobifier, can’t wait for the next one.
Connie Green Bean ... LoL! Someone has spent some time over in the Sandbox! haha
Like the one with the torpedos instead of the the drop cargo area. They need it to become a gun ship instead of of a gunship/cargo. There is already a connie that hauls cargo. It is always better specializing the ships in the connie line. What the andromeda needs is either toss the stub fighter or make it a option to have either a ship or a rear turret. I would rather the andromeda have a rear turret as that is one of it's holes. Needs to have more armor as it is a gun ship. Needs to fix it's shield holes. Need to add two or three tubed torpedos instead of that cargo elevator. Have the explorer version with the lowering cargo deck to drop off a vehicle.
Great video Noob, can tell it takes time to make these videos.
Also... after John Crew said no rework and seeing the BMM was only a $20 CCU I couldnt see keeping the Connie.
I love these ship history videos
That was awesome to see. Thank you for your hard work
love the connie series, have always wanted a connie :(
The only thing I dislike about the Connie is the way it handles when flown.
Nice job, as always, My Friend.
