@@VictorECaplonyou can? You just have to walk along the ground level towards the back of the ship and then hop on the elevator. Or the same thing from the hangar.
@@VictorECaplon i guess its more meant to get better access from the shuttle bay AND a bit easier from the ramp aswell, since its an exploration ship - so you go out in the shuttle, and land the ship basically only if you need to deploy rovers, but even then you gotta get to the medbay. But i get that the layout somehow doesn't make sense if you want to use the carrack itself to deploy everything on a landing site. :D get to the medbay basically through the whole ship seems strange. That was my first thought aswell.
The last big thing my mother bought me before she passed away(Stage 4 lung cancer and five inoperable brain tumors) was the Rear Admiral Edition of SC for Christmas; it had the largest ship ingame at the time; the Constellation Andromeda. After she passed away, I turned the Constellation into the Carrack and christened it the 'Judythea' in her honor(her name was Judy). She knew how much videogames meant to me, as they were my only hobby/passion/vice, and she fostered that my entire life everytime a new console came out, or a new game was being released. That ship; will never be melted or upgraded. I have many more ships; Kraken, BMM, Orion, Polaris, Galaxy, Ares, etc; and I upgrade the others as I find appropriate; but the Carrack has been a constant and never once have I ever thought of changing it into something else.
It would be awesome to have to enter like this. I always try to do this decoupled, it looks so nice, especially with ships that have heat shields like the Zeus
For me the Carrack has two main faults: 1. The main Elevator does not go down to the ground. 2. In case you carry an injured mate from outside the ship, where it's most likely to get injured, you have no easy and fast way to get to the medical room, specially if you are carrying a stretcher. *If you are coming from the ground, you have to take the patient, through the garage, through the cargo pods, into the main elevator, up to the habitation deck, get around the medical room, and then enter the medical room. *If you are coming from the hangar, you have to get the stretcher through the tiny doors on the corners, get into the main elevator, down to the habitation deck, get around the medical room, and then enter the medical room. And all of this could be avoided by just rotating the medical room 180º, putting a bigger centered door in the hangar and making the main elevator go down to the ground. That's it, you could go to the medical room almost in a straight line in any case.
Yep! Those are also two of my main issues with the Carrack atm. They need to rotate the med-bay so it faces the main elevator and that elevator needs a surface option. I'd also remove those little side-doors in the Pisces hangar and replace them with larger double-doors facing the elevator because currently there's no way for the Pisces to offload 1SCU boxes because they simply won't fit through those narrow side-doors.
These devs are the laziest things on earth, or the director is the worst there is and there is no good structure in the company - a miracle they are progressing a little now after how many years, they can fix this ship issue in 10 hours tops if they are lazy, 4 hours if they are serious. I’m a multimedia designer in the industry take it from me.
Saw your tweet Morph. Just wanted to say we appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos and your projects. Your effort and passion shines through. Worry not about the clickbait content, the critiques on your ad lengths and so on. Your community is here for you, and loves the work you put out for us, for free. Thanks so much for your passion over the years and letting us follow along!
I own both a Polaris and a carrack and I just love the carrack so much. The Polaris is a rad traveling home base, or multi crew ship but the interior is pretty military. The carrack really feels like a firefly
@@xinleitang6734 Dont think anyone in a Carrack is dumb enough to take on a polaris. Or hang around and find out.

This is a self-sustainable ship that is meant to tour alone... the capital ships are usually a part of a fleet that has support ships to do whatever is necessary, that is why this one is "more complete".
Yes, she is an Expedition Ship, a step above Exploration Ship in range, duration, and sheer capability, she can hoard data and physical samples taken with rovers shuttles and drones as well as her specialised cartographic astrometric and jumphole scanning systems, plus a 3d tank on the bridge and a massive one on the cartography deck to admire. I see the Carrack being out for weeks or months of gameplay exploring new planets once the ability for crew members to spawn the vehicle on logging in from a bedlog is in game.
@@0Boogiee0 yeah fuel food and oxygen are definitely essential limiting factors, but it does have best in class fuel tanks and with the right engines could have incredible range, especially if we get a modular belly bay that does fuel refining, i think they teased a hydroponics one and a deployable scientific research hab for extended expeditions.
WOW this video has some amazing shots. The quality and editing are absolutely top-tier. You could easily mistaken these scenes for a CGI sequence out of a big budget movie. Those ending shots over Bloom are astounding. Well done and fantastic editing. This is a league above the rest.
I have had a Carrack for years, and my god does the ship have so much potential... while also being so feature incomplete. It has a drone bay... that doesn't do anything cause no drones yet. Has a crafting room... that doesn't do anything cause crafting isn't online. Has a map room... that doesn't work because we don't have holomaps working yet. Has droppable cargo pods... that can't currently be dropped and now only JUST became openable to the exterior. A truly amazing ship that has had less than half its functionality online for the majority of development.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 That's awesome. I'm 39 and not planning on retiring that early, but I'm looking forward to playing the finished game when it's finished some time during my retirement years.
@@kdt9554 Me too. But in the meantime girlfriend and I are looking forward to 4.0 but still plan to spend the rest of winter in Bali Indonesia exploring,hiking,and whatnot then I’m getting my home fully remodeled this spring. Life goes on.
Great video showcasing the beloved Carrack. I love my Carrack but have some notes of my own. 1 The Rear Elevator should NOT go to the ground. Here's why... A rear elevator that goes from the ground level up through all the decks allows the possibility of full ingress to the entire ship at once by hostiles or any other nasty things you pick up along the way; This is an exploration ship after all. You may rather want to isolate these things like fire or potential environmental hazards by quarantining / sectioning off areas. Instead I propose having a separate ground-to-lowest-deck-elevator be installed. Position it between the main rear elevator and the doorway to the cargo pods, so that entry from the ground into the ship is staggered and isolated. Think of the medbay decontamination airlock but bigger crossed with something like the constellation's forward elevator as the Carrak's rear elevator to the ground outside. Oh and the rear elevator shaft could use a ladder for when the elevator breaks. 2 Further to this the only armoury should not be the furthest possible point away from the bridge and the repair room should be near engineering so swap those around. 3 Bridge - On the bridge upper deck the Captains flight controls 'balcony ' section is too far forward away from the other 2 upper crew stations and holotable. It should be pulled back to allow looking down to crew below and up at the thick cross bar above which could have a couple more MFDs and buttons. There may still be a room for including a swivel 'barstool' style chair for the captain to be able to pivot around between the viewing the holographic table or taking the helm controls. The floor grating in that area should be see through up front as well like it is rear of the holo-table. The bridge also needs a ladder between decks (forward and right) and the elevator, like the one in engineering, should be a fixed from being crushing hazard. 4 The rear turret should be remote operated from the bridge and that space converted to a brig / quarantine / storage room offing possibilities prisoner / infected escape via the industrial / repair facilities nearby. Think mini-Klescher. 5 The Carrack got chonky (vertically) so if they are not going to slim it down then extract the MSRs crawl spaces and insert them into the ample spaces between the Carracks decks for more sneaking / engineering fun. 6 The med bay should be rotated 180 degrees to open to the elevator and the hanger access on the deck above should have an airlock instead of two side doors so a C8R could bring in a patient on a gurney or cargo / components on a trolley to lower decks through the airlock to elevator. In this new med bay orientation the doctors office or storage could include another door towards the front of the ship to save having to loop all around to enter the med bay. 7 Cartography deck - forward of the elevator and overlooking the hangar does not need two entry points but should have the hangar access console and a bench for pleasure viewing forward or maybe some kind of telescope ornamental or practical plotting console for observations like when using the extended antennas. Include a large window in the cartography elevator doors to see all the way from aft in the cartography room to forward to the outside. The windows on the side cartography deck corridors should be angled more downward so that you can have a better view out over the landscape when landed rather than just upwards at the sky or obstructed by the 'wings'. Same goes for the Captains window and the crew's window seat. 8 Miscellaneous (a) The hangar needs a ladder up out of it for when in gravity and the walls of the hangar are needlessly angled too severely. (b) The hangar floor level is needlessly high requiring steps down. (c) With the previously mentioned airlock replacing the hangar's 2 side doors it should be level to the main rear elevator for access to it and the med bay. (d) There are more unused spaces in the walls like rear wall of the mess that could be a pantry or armoury space. (e) Splitting up the crew toilets and showers arrangements seems bizarre as well as the bunks being by the outer wall instead of being near the inner wall and allowing the outer wall to have a window seat. (f) Engineering needs a couple of escape pods down lower near them.
I was tempted to melt my Carrack Expedition to buy an 890. But I withstood that temptation and right after that this video popped up to reinforce it further. I will never melt my Carrack. It is just such a perfect ship.
Good call. I bought both in game, and the 890 is cool looking but basically useless. The Carrack is the main ship I fly, and that's with about 30 ships in my inventory.
I never leave comments to videos so me doing so should speak bounds. This video is breathtaking and very well done! The opening music fits the opening scene and is choreographed so well. Morphologis your work is amazing, and I say that as a professional video and 3D modeler!
Even years later it's such a beautiful ship outside and inside and has one of the best subcapital interiors. Seriously, Carrack makes me frustrated with many other ships because of how well made it is.
Truthfully, CIG have not come close to topping it because they lost the talent from the ship team of that era who created it. Their last good ships were the RAFT / 400i / Redeemer release era before the exodus. It’s taking years to get that expertise and creativity back.. hence touches like windows missing from the Polaris. “Cos military” is a lame excuse as so is the Carrack by origin.
Originally, I really thought the Caterpillar was gonna be my goal. The modularity and ability to wear many hats was appealing. Turns out, it's just a space semi truck. From the moment I first got my hands on the yoke of the Carrick, I was hooked! The ship is HEAVILY inspired by "Serenity" and it really shows. It's the kind of ship I've wanted all along. It'll take some work to earn, but (like my spouse) she's worth waiting for!
Fantastic intro as always Morph, and that re-entry! Chef Kiss. As for the Carrack it’s the only ship I have never been tempted to melt. As you rightly pointed out, drones, med bed, repair, hangar, garage… it’s has so much to offer and I personally love the interior and exterior. Perfection indeed.
i have a Polaris i dont regret buying it because my org is military focus but your right the carrack is the perfect almost end game ship for everything all around ship like a true mobile base/home and i think thats what they were going with alot of starter ships can do alot of task and i think the carrack is the natural progression
I melted my carrack to get a RSI Galaxy (back in IAE 2023). I still say it's the best all-around ship in the game. It wasn't an easy decision to melt my Carrack for the Galaxy. Ironically, the Carrack is the loaner ship for the RSI Galaxy. Thank you Morphologis, for making a love letter to the Carrack (so far only you and Farrister have taken the time to make a love letter video to the Carrack).
If you were crewing a carrack and found a temporary jump-point I think using the cartography system you could send a pulse into the jump-point to estimate the amount of energy and get the number of trips it can sustain and then mark it on your star map for your group members
For someone that doens't play Star citizen i cannot state the enjoyment i feel when watching these video's, When it is ready for 1.0 i will definitely give it a try
When I got my referral LTI Dragonfly years back, it took some time to think if I wanted to upgrade it to anything, since it couldn't be melted. Eventually, I worked my way up to a Carrack with it, and I've loved that ship ever since. It still needs work, obviously, but I'm still happy every time I scoot around Stanton with it, and the one time I'll visit Pyro to look at stuff is going to be with my Carrack. I also got to name it "The World Without End" which I fully stole from a Friends At The Table game, because that's a great name for a cool ship. Also I just want to say, I love your cinematics in these videos. They always look fantastic.
I've always absolutely adored the Carrack. It's my home away from home whenever I earn it in-game. The only things I wish they'd change other than the cargo pods and reliability of the elevators is to make the bottom turret remote as well so all turrets can be accessed from the technical deck. Whomever is down in the bottom turret is far away from everyone else and it takes time to get down there. It would also give something else for that left seat on the technical deck to do. The range of motion and view from the side turrets really should be experienced by being in them tho , so those can remain.
This ship is also a loaner for the RSI Galaxy while it's still in concept, letting you fly a Carrack around until then for much less than the $600 asking price
Morph, with over 17k referrals have you ever thought of rotating your org members’ referral codes to get them some referrals? At this point referrals do absolutely nothing for you. That all said, my carrack is my favorite ship and will never be dethroned. My record survival time is 63 days of consecutive play sessions (2-3 hours at least) without have to reclaim her. She is named Ziggurat and she is my temple. So glad she got some love and she is only getting better with age, like the fine wine she is!
Really glad to see you take another look at the Carrack! This video made me realize just how many features it has, compared to other ships. And how nice the interior is with all those windows :) I was planning to upgrade it to a Perseus (already have the WB CCU), but this video makes me reconsider that for sure, it's such an amazing ship.
For all that she still doesn't have and for all the work that still needs to be done to update her, she's still my favorite ship. She'll take me anywhere and everywhere and let me do just about whatever I want when I get there. For all that I scoffed at it's price when I first joined the 'verse, the Carrack is the embodiment of everything great about this game and where it's heading. Thanks for the video, Morph! ❤
I've always loved the concept of exploring the 'Verse - my very first ship was a freelancer. I held on to it, right up until I bought the Carrack in a package deal (UEE Exploration Pack - LTI - for $495 at the time in 2016) - Never regretted it for a second either. The Carrack is a beautiful ship that does everything I want to.
I cut a lot of my larger ships in favor of more fighters and 2-3 person ones. The Carrack is the biggest thing I kept as "home" followed by the 600i Explorer and Galaxy. I just wish the hanger was a touch larger to fit something like my Gladius in.
Been a while since I played, but I remember being able to fit my Aurora in there - although it was a very very very tight squeeze and had to be at an angle hugging one side.
My Carrack Needs: cargo pods open and lower to the ground to allow loading. Arrow’s wing folding independently of the landing gear. Ability to process manually mined resources to allow the crew to refuel it.
I bought the Perseus and am sitting on the upgrade from it to the Odyssey it was only 25 dollars more and it will have liftime Insurance to boot but only if the Perseus does not live up to the hype so what a great fall back for 25 dollars right.
I just upgraded my carrack 3 years ago into a Bannu Merchantmant and i dont regret it, it think that once BMM launch sometime in the next years it will be a relic ship with insane high price and just as same capabilities as the carrack, its literally a nomad flying market
got one of these love it. I was looking for a ship that did a little bit of alot of things and not being one that can only visit via docking ring. Polaris sure much nicer ship but also needs more people. This one to me was perfect because has cargo and a deaccent amount, med bed, large fuel, on ship storage, hauls a good amount of vehicles, has a landing bay for small ships. It felt like alot of much larger ship items packed into a ship manageable as solo or 2-3 man. Combat wise we have had it full manned and it is surprisingly deadly with a good amount of tankyness. We did the idris in this and it went pretty smooth.
Carrack is that one ship I'll never plan to melt or upgrade into something else. Been my favourite since the concept was revealed. But overall I'm a big fan of Anvil ships. Definitely drooling over the Paladin already as well.
Thank you for this video, perfection. The cinematography and sound design are on point and perfect. I literally have nothing to add to improve tha craft here. Keep up the amazing work!
The Carrack Drones are for triangulation. Place three of them in different areas of a system to triangulate POIs using the scanner suite. This is planned to be very similar like the triangulation in EVE works.
Man i have wanted the carrack since i started playing years ago but never managed to get enough money to buy it ( To expensive with real money for me ). Now i want it even more. Thanks for a great video, your voice is soothing and a pleasure listening to.
Hey Morph, try flying the Carrack in Pyro now that non-consent PVP is allowed and one Size 10 torp thrown at it kills it regardless of noise/decoy/evasives. It needs at least a pair of PDS Turrets to be perfect for Pyro in 4.0
It's a nice ship, I owned one briefly after it was released, but the reality is that unless you are playing regularly with a group of friends it's not for solo play and probably never will be. That plus so many of it's apparent functions are TBD, better to play with something smaller, more manageable and multi role.
I agree this ship is much better with a crew, but I play solo and this is still my main ship. I like mercenary missions, and I'll fly close with this, set it as my respawn point, then hop in a c8 to get to the mission. I like knowing even if a bunker starts firing for example, my Carrack will be close enough to get back to and get out. I also store some Murai Fury's in it in case I die and need another ship to get back to the bunker / distro center. This ship is just better for that than something like a C2 which can also hold smaller ships because of the top hangar.
I have a Carrack named Artemis VII (tribute to NASA missions) and, although I’ve been tempted many times, never melted it because I love what it stands for and I know it’ll be the GOAT one day 😊
Well, now that I have my Polaris and some other ships I really don't need I might get my beloved Carrack back. This is what I've been waiting for. Accessibility when it comes to the cargo bays or pods and that blast shield I guess will be a great protection in Pyro's solar storms etc.
While I can understand wanting to physicalize gear storage, a lot of ships got short-shrifted by them pushing ahead before all the ships were ready. Even where ships do have storage, having to use kiosks in your own hangar to load up a ship makes doing so an exercise in tedium.
I don't play SC, I probably never will. Still I come back to all of your videos to watch ships beautifully displayed while listening what those ships can do and what the current status of SC is. You're doing great, cheers Morph.
The Carrack became my starter ship about four and a half year ago, after watching a Morphologis review of it. I haven't used it since loading cargo containers became a thing, but with 4.0 it will be back in service. While my pledged fleet has grown quite a bit since then, it is not just a ship in the fleet.
I do have a Carrack and a Perseus for multi-crew gaming aspects. There's a lot of game loops current and planned that both of these ships are very versatile for. I'm excited for the day when the full experience of the game is out there for us.
The Carrack is still my dream ship to upgrade to, my MSR was my dream ship, but all those doors get in the way, but the Zeus has been really great so far. But I’d love to upgrade to a Carrack at some point, maybe when I get some of my friends to get pc’s I’ll bite the bullet. Absolutely stunning video work as always 10/10.
love the blast shields. one thing about SC ships that always felt off was how exposed a lot of the cockpits looked and felt. even with scifi hand waving “transparent material thats as strong as steel”. This makes it seem a good deal more “solid”. Personally, Id prefer more cockpits recessed into the body of ships with small natural viewports and screens transmitted the view of peripherals from cameras. or other full/partial screen set ups that increases your feild of view without exposing the cockpit.
I would love to see some sort of automatic tinting of the windows the closer you get to the star of the system like with welding glass also there should be some sort of radiation shields/shutters
@@arenomusic thats another thing, in some kind of crash it looks like the pilots would immediately be the first thing that is smushed. in most irl aircrafts and cars the driver/pilot is behind and above some kind of nose or hood or other extended part that forms the very front. That position also helps to give a better sense of the vehicles dimensions since you can see more of of the ships body relative to the environment
Fell in love with it the first time I set a foot into. I still hold on to it, having the CCUs upwards to the Polaris. But I can't really hit execute with so many issues the Polaris still have. I'll keep mine and with cargo finally working, no need for a further workhorse, but getting the upper turret into the hands of the pilot would be a nice addition.
There have been many ships that have tried to pull my attention but the Carrack keeps me coming back for more. People can have their Polaris, I am sticking with this old girl for the long term. Looking forward to her getting more modification that make sense. Screens being removed is always a bit odd especially the ones they did remove vs kept... hoping the battle bridge gets full flight functionality again as it was my favorite place to fly in all of SC. I hope CIG can understand and appreciate the things that this ship has always done right and move forward with that. The combination of many things forms a fantastic whole product that is just... Fun... Great video as per usual. See you out there!
This is my current predicament. I’m a solo player, and if I melt everything I can get the galaxy, and carrack for now. I’m trying to persuade myself I can solo a carrack lol
I love my Carrack! It’s the biggest ship that I own and the only one I have of that weightclass. It’s so versatile and sits in a perfect spot size-wise for me. Had the chance to grab it for an absolute bargain price during the initial concept sale. The euro was quite strong at that time and the VAT on digital goods was not yet a thing. Paid less than 300€ back then 😉 So I’ll keep it no matter what 😁
Great video as always man. As a Carrack owner I'm so happy to see these fixes for 4.0, finally get to put my favorite ship to good use. Now I don't feel as bad for not melting it for a Polaris. I might just do that with my Starfarer Gemini, that is badly in need of an upgrade to the current gold standards.
I am continuously blown away by the frikkin clouds. Seems like such a small thing, until you realize what kinda technical wizardry is actually involved
aside from the fact that it'll explode if someone farts in its direction it is pretty perfect. would be nice if they updated the cupboard in the mess room to have actual items like the redeemer
Dang Morph, top quality fidelity on the upload boss! Always love seeing a new vid come up on the feed. My guy, thats the North Star, don't relent and take your time to craft the magic because we here for it! (And yo, if you're reading this, bruv SHOW SUPPORT the mans' content!)
I'm so excited for the carrack to be more than it is right now. This was one of the ships that brought me into the game initially Other than all the improvements people are talking about, cargo modules fully working, improved elevators, etc., I do really wish the pilot's area was visible from the command deck. It would make the bridge feel more together, than two completely separate areas. The ship in lore feels like a Star Trek ship journeying off into distant space, and visually it reminds me of the Serenity from Firefly
I’m beginning to worry that it’s not coming, which sucks because I think the Starlancer addresses many points he made in the hull c video, so it would be interesting to see how he thinks about that. Plus it’s now my favorite ship so obviously it would be nice to
@@alegsb3943 These videos take time, I'm sure he's working on a multitude of different reviews so he's likely stressed for time. Patience is key my friend.
Still have mine. Still love it. It's going to be my go-to for Pyro for sure. I am glad that it's finally getting some more attention. It was almost traded for a Pegasus due to the stagnation.
Carrack just happens to be a fantastic "larger ship crew trainer" for the Polaris. I love both of mine, but the carrack has so much going for it for such a cheap cost to run that it makes an excellent daily driver expedition/training carrier/mobile base/scanner escort, my polaris is a very special occasion warship/light carrier/mobile base/capital escort for my bmm or hull e.
the only tweaks on the Carrack in my opinion: -level the med bay and hangar to the deck they are on. -replace tiny doors on the flight bay with a door capable of passing stretchers/cargo through (force fields on bay if needed or treat it like an airlock) -180 the med bay (optional but makes sense on routes from possible entry locations) -make one of the elevators a second exit (nice to have but not required) -airlock small elevator on all decks with the bigger door and flattened floors, cargo and patients can be transferred to the main elevator and to their corresponding deck quickly without too many corners
'Perfect' timing Morphologis! I had some extra cash in my account after a melt and was just not using my MSR. I saw the Galaxy for $380, with the Carrack Expedition as loaner, and couldn't resist. I was looking for an all-in-one ship for Pyro exploring and saw this as 'Perfect' as well. I'm not expecting the Galaxy for a couple years most likely, so I'm looking forward to the Carrack being homebase for some time to come.
I ended up switching back and forth and melting and buying, and eventually used my store credits to rebuy the old exploration pack, and upgraded the dragonfly to a gladiator, the 315p to a zeus and the dur to a starlancer tac.
Reading through the comments, I see that several other people have said what I came to say. I am glad the ideas are catching on, so I'll say it again. Central elevator goes to ground as a personnel entrance. Hangar personnel doors replaced with a single larger door facing the central elevator to facilitate gurneys and cargo boxes. Spin the medbay 180 degrees so the medbay door faces the central elevator. Keep preaching the good word and maybe CIG will make these obvious fixes!
Content on the Carrack aside, this (in my humble opinion) is one of the best videos this channel has produced in terms of visuals. I appreciate the game has developed in the keen cinematographer's eye, but Morphologis captures it in a stunning way.
I am keeping my Carrack, but the StarLancer is what I'll be taking to Pyro, with a Nursa in the back. If offers almost the same functionality but is solo flyable too. Last time I checked the Carrack med bed didn't even work, I hope they fixed it in 4.0.

The Carrack will achieve the status of "Perfection" when the rear/main elevator GOES TO THE GROUND!!! (along with the cargo bays)
I would argue the ability to go from the hangar to the med bay or cargo modules with a stretcher is even more important .
@@VictorECaplonyou can?
You just have to walk along the ground level towards the back of the ship and then hop on the elevator. Or the same thing from the hangar.
Zeoran my thoughts exactly!!
@@VictorECaplon i guess its more meant to get better access from the shuttle bay AND a bit easier from the ramp aswell, since its an exploration ship - so you go out in the shuttle, and land the ship basically only if you need to deploy rovers, but even then you gotta get to the medbay.
But i get that the layout somehow doesn't make sense if you want to use the carrack itself to deploy everything on a landing site. :D get to the medbay basically through the whole ship seems strange. That was my first thought aswell.
Yessssss
The last big thing my mother bought me before she passed away(Stage 4 lung cancer and five inoperable brain tumors) was the Rear Admiral Edition of SC for Christmas; it had the largest ship ingame at the time; the Constellation Andromeda. After she passed away, I turned the Constellation into the Carrack and christened it the 'Judythea' in her honor(her name was Judy). She knew how much videogames meant to me, as they were my only hobby/passion/vice, and she fostered that my entire life everytime a new console came out, or a new game was being released.
That ship; will never be melted or upgraded. I have many more ships; Kraken, BMM, Orion, Polaris, Galaxy, Ares, etc; and I upgrade the others as I find appropriate; but the Carrack has been a constant and never once have I ever thought of changing it into something else.
sorry to hear that she seemed like a good person, glad you got something to remember her by!
I hope you put many hours onto that ship in honor of her memory. Wishing you fair winds and smooth traversals.
I usually troll on this site, but damn that was beautiful. I hope this game makes it just so you have many great voyages in your mom's honor.
If I see the Judythea in game, you're getting a salute and flyby from me o7
This got me in tears bro…
I'm still waiting for the orange paint so that I can call it my Anvil Carrot.
where would you put that carrot overnight?
@@jimpanse3089 In the fridge, you pervert
That makes no sense.
More like Argo Carrot
Thank you for the laugh xD
I love how you flattened out on re-entry and then pointed down once you slowed down enough at 13:09
Dude, yes! It was so good.
So cool!
@scairns00 . As I was watching around that part, I said to myself, " This is the real re-entry that the space shuttle does"
It would be awesome to have to enter like this. I always try to do this decoupled, it looks so nice, especially with ships that have heat shields like the Zeus
Yes and I recognised the music from that part also, it's called Neptune by Bonnie Grace, love it
For me the Carrack has two main faults:
1. The main Elevator does not go down to the ground.
2. In case you carry an injured mate from outside the ship, where it's most likely to get injured, you have no easy and fast way to get to the medical room, specially if you are carrying a stretcher.
*If you are coming from the ground, you have to take the patient, through the garage, through the cargo pods, into the main elevator, up to the habitation deck, get around the medical room, and then enter the medical room.
*If you are coming from the hangar, you have to get the stretcher through the tiny doors on the corners, get into the main elevator, down to the habitation deck, get around the medical room, and then enter the medical room.
And all of this could be avoided by just rotating the medical room 180º, putting a bigger centered door in the hangar and making the main elevator go down to the ground. That's it, you could go to the medical room almost in a straight line in any case.
Yep! Those are also two of my main issues with the Carrack atm. They need to rotate the med-bay so it faces the main elevator and that elevator needs a surface option. I'd also remove those little side-doors in the Pisces hangar and replace them with larger double-doors facing the elevator because currently there's no way for the Pisces to offload 1SCU boxes because they simply won't fit through those narrow side-doors.
You nailed it! I hope CIG is listening.
so much yes lol
These devs are the laziest things on earth, or the director is the worst there is and there is no good structure in the company - a miracle they are progressing a little now after how many years, they can fix this ship issue in 10 hours tops if they are lazy, 4 hours if they are serious.
I’m a multimedia designer in the industry take it from me.
thats you faults not the carracks, just tell him to backspace and respawn in the med bay
Saw your tweet Morph. Just wanted to say we appreciate all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos and your projects. Your effort and passion shines through. Worry not about the clickbait content, the critiques on your ad lengths and so on. Your community is here for you, and loves the work you put out for us, for free. Thanks so much for your passion over the years and letting us follow along!
I don’t even play SC and I get excited every time Morphologis uploads
His video's are a highlight of every week for me absolutely wonderful.
I own both a Polaris and a carrack and I just love the carrack so much. The Polaris is a rad traveling home base, or multi crew ship but the interior is pretty military. The carrack really feels like a firefly
That firefly, or shall i rather say, Serenity thought was what i had back when i bought mine in 2018!
without any PDCs or AI blade. polaris will eat carrack for breakfast. CIG need get AI blade working in game with 4.0 pyro release.
@@xinleitang6734 Dont think anyone in a Carrack is dumb enough to take on a polaris. Or hang around and find out.
This is a self-sustainable ship that is meant to tour alone... the capital ships are usually a part of a fleet that has support ships to do whatever is necessary, that is why this one is "more complete".
Until it runs out of fuel.
Yes, she is an Expedition Ship, a step above Exploration Ship in range, duration, and sheer capability, she can hoard data and physical samples taken with rovers shuttles and drones as well as her specialised cartographic astrometric and jumphole scanning systems, plus a 3d tank on the bridge and a massive one on the cartography deck to admire. I see the Carrack being out for weeks or months of gameplay exploring new planets once the ability for crew members to spawn the vehicle on logging in from a bedlog is in game.
@@CylonAdam Until it runs out of fuel.....
@@0Boogiee0 yeah fuel food and oxygen are definitely essential limiting factors, but it does have best in class fuel tanks and with the right engines could have incredible range, especially if we get a modular belly bay that does fuel refining, i think they teased a hydroponics one and a deployable scientific research hab for extended expeditions.
until it get hit by a size 10 torp in pyro
WOW this video has some amazing shots. The quality and editing are absolutely top-tier. You could easily mistaken these scenes for a CGI sequence out of a big budget movie. Those ending shots over Bloom are astounding. Well done and fantastic editing. This is a league above the rest.
I have had a Carrack for years, and my god does the ship have so much potential... while also being so feature incomplete.
It has a drone bay... that doesn't do anything cause no drones yet.
Has a crafting room... that doesn't do anything cause crafting isn't online.
Has a map room... that doesn't work because we don't have holomaps working yet.
Has droppable cargo pods... that can't currently be dropped and now only JUST became openable to the exterior.
A truly amazing ship that has had less than half its functionality online for the majority of development.
I'm good with all of that. For me it's just things to look forward to.
Patience is one of the reasons I'm retired and FIRE in my 40s.
It's a microcosm of the game. A whole lot of unrealized potential.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 That's awesome. I'm 39 and not planning on retiring that early, but I'm looking forward to playing the finished game when it's finished some time during my retirement years.
@@kdt9554
Me too.
But in the meantime girlfriend and I are looking forward to 4.0 but still plan to spend the rest of winter in Bali Indonesia exploring,hiking,and whatnot then I’m getting my home fully remodeled this spring.
Life goes on.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 Well I meant that the game will likely not be finished until I'm in my 60s or 70s
Great video showcasing the beloved Carrack.
I love my Carrack but have some notes of my own.
1 The Rear Elevator should NOT go to the ground. Here's why...
A rear elevator that goes from the ground level up through all the decks allows the possibility of full ingress to the entire ship at once by hostiles or any other nasty things you pick up along the way; This is an exploration ship after all. You may rather want to isolate these things like fire or potential environmental hazards by quarantining / sectioning off areas.
Instead I propose having a separate ground-to-lowest-deck-elevator be installed. Position it between the main rear elevator and the doorway to the cargo pods, so that entry from the ground into the ship is staggered and isolated. Think of the medbay decontamination airlock but bigger crossed with something like the constellation's forward elevator as the Carrak's rear elevator to the ground outside. Oh and the rear elevator shaft could use a ladder for when the elevator breaks.
2 Further to this the only armoury should not be the furthest possible point away from the bridge and the repair room should be near engineering so swap those around.
3 Bridge - On the bridge upper deck the Captains flight controls 'balcony ' section is too far forward away from the other 2 upper crew stations and holotable. It should be pulled back to allow looking down to crew below and up at the thick cross bar above which could have a couple more MFDs and buttons. There may still be a room for including a swivel 'barstool' style chair for the captain to be able to pivot around between the viewing the holographic table or taking the helm controls. The floor grating in that area should be see through up front as well like it is rear of the holo-table. The bridge also needs a ladder between decks (forward and right) and the elevator, like the one in engineering, should be a fixed from being crushing hazard.
4 The rear turret should be remote operated from the bridge and that space converted to a brig / quarantine / storage room offing possibilities prisoner / infected escape via the industrial / repair facilities nearby. Think mini-Klescher.
5 The Carrack got chonky (vertically) so if they are not going to slim it down then extract the MSRs crawl spaces and insert them into the ample spaces between the Carracks decks for more sneaking / engineering fun.
6 The med bay should be rotated 180 degrees to open to the elevator and the hanger access on the deck above should have an airlock instead of two side doors so a C8R could bring in a patient on a gurney or cargo / components on a trolley to lower decks through the airlock to elevator. In this new med bay orientation the doctors office or storage could include another door towards the front of the ship to save having to loop all around to enter the med bay.
7 Cartography deck - forward of the elevator and overlooking the hangar does not need two entry points but should have the hangar access console and a bench for pleasure viewing forward or maybe some kind of telescope ornamental or practical plotting console for observations like when using the extended antennas.
Include a large window in the cartography elevator doors to see all the way from aft in the cartography room to forward to the outside.
The windows on the side cartography deck corridors should be angled more downward so that you can have a better view out over the landscape when landed rather than just upwards at the sky or obstructed by the 'wings'. Same goes for the Captains window and the crew's window seat.
8 Miscellaneous
(a) The hangar needs a ladder up out of it for when in gravity and the walls of the hangar are needlessly angled too severely.
(b) The hangar floor level is needlessly high requiring steps down.
(c) With the previously mentioned airlock replacing the hangar's 2 side doors it should be level to the main rear elevator for access to it and the med bay.
(d) There are more unused spaces in the walls like rear wall of the mess that could be a pantry or armoury space.
(e) Splitting up the crew toilets and showers arrangements seems bizarre as well as the bunks being by the outer wall instead of being near the inner wall and allowing the outer wall to have a window seat.
(f) Engineering needs a couple of escape pods down lower near them.
still need a way to enter the ship without that huge security breach of a ramp
Top hangar is another option.
I was tempted to melt my Carrack Expedition to buy an 890. But I withstood that temptation and right after that this video popped up to reinforce it further. I will never melt my Carrack. It is just such a perfect ship.
Good call. I bought both in game, and the 890 is cool looking but basically useless. The Carrack is the main ship I fly, and that's with about 30 ships in my inventory.
I never leave comments to videos so me doing so should speak bounds. This video is breathtaking and very well done! The opening music fits the opening scene and is choreographed so well. Morphologis your work is amazing, and I say that as a professional video and 3D modeler!
Even years later it's such a beautiful ship outside and inside and has one of the best subcapital interiors. Seriously, Carrack makes me frustrated with many other ships because of how well made it is.
Truthfully, CIG have not come close to topping it because they lost the talent from the ship team of that era who created it. Their last good ships were the RAFT / 400i / Redeemer release era before the exodus. It’s taking years to get that expertise and creativity back.. hence touches like windows missing from the Polaris. “Cos military” is a lame excuse as so is the Carrack by origin.
One of my favorites, along with the Reclaimer. Both beautiful ships. (and they have WINDOWS!)
duuude that third shot, youve outdone yourself! the amount of buttons you are pressing at the same time to pull that off lol, well done.
Originally, I really thought the Caterpillar was gonna be my goal. The modularity and ability to wear many hats was appealing. Turns out, it's just a space semi truck. From the moment I first got my hands on the yoke of the Carrick, I was hooked! The ship is HEAVILY inspired by "Serenity" and it really shows. It's the kind of ship I've wanted all along. It'll take some work to earn, but (like my spouse) she's worth waiting for!
I hope you are not still waiting for "her" 🤣
Fantastic intro as always Morph, and that re-entry! Chef Kiss. As for the Carrack it’s the only ship I have never been tempted to melt. As you rightly pointed out, drones, med bed, repair, hangar, garage… it’s has so much to offer and I personally love the interior and exterior. Perfection indeed.
i have a Polaris i dont regret buying it because my org is military focus but your right the carrack is the perfect almost end game ship for everything all around ship like a true mobile base/home and i think thats what they were going with alot of starter ships can do alot of task and i think the carrack is the natural progression
I melted my carrack to get a RSI Galaxy (back in IAE 2023). I still say it's the best all-around ship in the game. It wasn't an easy decision to melt my Carrack for the Galaxy. Ironically, the Carrack is the loaner ship for the RSI Galaxy. Thank you Morphologis, for making a love letter to the Carrack (so far only you and Farrister have taken the time to make a love letter video to the Carrack).
Thanks for making me appreciate my loaner Carrack much more now while I'm impatiently waiting for the Galaxy to be released!
If you were crewing a carrack and found a temporary jump-point I think using the cartography system you could send a pulse into the jump-point to estimate the amount of energy and get the number of trips it can sustain and then mark it on your star map for your group members
For someone that doens't play Star citizen i cannot state the enjoyment i feel when watching these video's, When it is ready for 1.0 i will definitely give it a try
When I got my referral LTI Dragonfly years back, it took some time to think if I wanted to upgrade it to anything, since it couldn't be melted. Eventually, I worked my way up to a Carrack with it, and I've loved that ship ever since.
It still needs work, obviously, but I'm still happy every time I scoot around Stanton with it, and the one time I'll visit Pyro to look at stuff is going to be with my Carrack.
I also got to name it "The World Without End" which I fully stole from a Friends At The Table game, because that's a great name for a cool ship.
Also I just want to say, I love your cinematics in these videos. They always look fantastic.
do you prefer your Carrack Circumcised or Uncircumcised
The opposite to my mini-Carrack... ;-)
I love his Architect reviews series. It’s one of my most favourite series here on YT
I've always absolutely adored the Carrack. It's my home away from home whenever I earn it in-game. The only things I wish they'd change other than the cargo pods and reliability of the elevators is to make the bottom turret remote as well so all turrets can be accessed from the technical deck. Whomever is down in the bottom turret is far away from everyone else and it takes time to get down there. It would also give something else for that left seat on the technical deck to do. The range of motion and view from the side turrets really should be experienced by being in them tho , so those can remain.
@2:17 That's a good transition from the AD. Anyone scrubbing through will still see the call to action.
This ship is also a loaner for the RSI Galaxy while it's still in concept, letting you fly a Carrack around until then for much less than the $600 asking price
Morph, with over 17k referrals have you ever thought of rotating your org members’ referral codes to get them some referrals? At this point referrals do absolutely nothing for you. That all said, my carrack is my favorite ship and will never be dethroned. My record survival time is 63 days of consecutive play sessions (2-3 hours at least) without have to reclaim her. She is named Ziggurat and she is my temple. So glad she got some love and she is only getting better with age, like the fine wine she is!
Really glad to see you take another look at the Carrack! This video made me realize just how many features it has, compared to other ships. And how nice the interior is with all those windows :)
I was planning to upgrade it to a Perseus (already have the WB CCU), but this video makes me reconsider that for sure, it's such an amazing ship.
The amount of work you put into yout videos are insane. From the background music to the camera work is amazing. Such nice quality!
في المستقبل البعيد وبفضل التكنولوجيا المتقدمة سوف يتساوى الخيال مع الواقع ويمتلك الإنسان قوى الآلهة ليحول الكون والأكوان المتعددة إلى جنة خالدة ❤
For all that she still doesn't have and for all the work that still needs to be done to update her, she's still my favorite ship. She'll take me anywhere and everywhere and let me do just about whatever I want when I get there.
For all that I scoffed at it's price when I first joined the 'verse, the Carrack is the embodiment of everything great about this game and where it's heading.
Thanks for the video, Morph! ❤
I've always loved the concept of exploring the 'Verse - my very first ship was a freelancer. I held on to it, right up until I bought the Carrack in a package deal (UEE Exploration Pack - LTI - for $495 at the time in 2016) - Never regretted it for a second either. The Carrack is a beautiful ship that does everything I want to.
Man the clouds just keep on getting better and better.
I cut a lot of my larger ships in favor of more fighters and 2-3 person ones. The Carrack is the biggest thing I kept as "home" followed by the 600i Explorer and Galaxy. I just wish the hanger was a touch larger to fit something like my Gladius in.
Been a while since I played, but I remember being able to fit my Aurora in there - although it was a very very very tight squeeze and had to be at an angle hugging one side.
@@jondspen I believe an Arrow will fit now but not entirely sure.
@@GeeksHikeToo_Gaming If they de-couple the wing folding from the gear it'll fit, but currently the wings fold up too high for the bay to close.
My Carrack Needs: cargo pods open and lower to the ground to allow loading. Arrow’s wing folding independently of the landing gear. Ability to process manually mined resources to allow the crew to refuel it.
Main elevator ground access
and maybe some health ?
Sounds like you want the Odyssey
@@Arkios366 Health will mean nothing once the engineering game-play comes out.
I traded my Carrack for the Odyssey. I don't regret it. I can't wait for the Odyssey!
I bought the Perseus and am sitting on the upgrade from it to the Odyssey it was only 25 dollars more and it will have liftime Insurance to boot but only if the Perseus does not live up to the hype so what a great fall back for 25 dollars right.
CIG's advertisement trailer for the Carrack really nailed what the ship's appeal is: "Carrack is Home"
uugh the carrack is still one of the hottest ships out there, tho nothing can beat my best girl caterpillar
As always, a part for the information on the video, a masterpiece in scenery and edition. Love it!
I just upgraded my carrack 3 years ago into a Bannu Merchantmant and i dont regret it, it think that once BMM launch sometime in the next years it will be a relic ship with insane high price and just as same capabilities as the carrack, its literally a nomad flying market
Your Star Citizen videos are the highest resolution. I can't imagine what your system specs are. It's beautiful.
I don't know how you do it, but you continue to impress me with every video even more than your last. Keep it up, this content delivers
got one of these love it. I was looking for a ship that did a little bit of alot of things and not being one that can only visit via docking ring. Polaris sure much nicer ship but also needs more people. This one to me was perfect because has cargo and a deaccent amount, med bed, large fuel, on ship storage, hauls a good amount of vehicles, has a landing bay for small ships. It felt like alot of much larger ship items packed into a ship manageable as solo or 2-3 man. Combat wise we have had it full manned and it is surprisingly deadly with a good amount of tankyness. We did the idris in this and it went pretty smooth.
I kept it, glad to see this updated version of it. Thanks for sharing.
amazingly filmed as always morph!
great video morph
Love how much attention you put into B-roll footage!! You can make any ship look sexy.
Hey man. I just want you to know that the algorithm brought me here and I thank you for the quality video! Also the thumbnail was nice!
This was and is by far the best looking and well designed ships ever been to Star Citizen. Especialy the interior which has seen so much love by CIG.
Oooo nice intro clouds & music 👌
Carrack is that one ship I'll never plan to melt or upgrade into something else. Been my favourite since the concept was revealed. But overall I'm a big fan of Anvil ships. Definitely drooling over the Paladin already as well.
Thank you for this video, perfection. The cinematography and sound design are on point and perfect. I literally have nothing to add to improve tha craft here. Keep up the amazing work!
The Carrack Drones are for triangulation. Place three of them in different areas of a system to triangulate POIs using the scanner suite. This is planned to be very similar like the triangulation in EVE works.
Anvil Carrack is my Number Two ORG ship for Bounty Claimers, INC. (BCI-002), quite essential. Good content, and, as usual, looks great!
The Carrack is literally my dream ships. I wish I had saved for it before but now I just hope to get one in game
Man i have wanted the carrack since i started playing years ago but never managed to get enough money to buy it ( To expensive with real money for me ). Now i want it even more. Thanks for a great video, your voice is soothing and a pleasure listening to.
Hey Morph, try flying the Carrack in Pyro now that non-consent PVP is allowed and one Size 10 torp thrown at it kills it regardless of noise/decoy/evasives. It needs at least a pair of PDS Turrets to be perfect for Pyro in 4.0
It's a nice ship, I owned one briefly after it was released, but the reality is that unless you are playing regularly with a group of friends it's not for solo play and probably never will be. That plus so many of it's apparent functions are TBD, better to play with something smaller, more manageable and multi role.
I agree this ship is much better with a crew, but I play solo and this is still my main ship. I like mercenary missions, and I'll fly close with this, set it as my respawn point, then hop in a c8 to get to the mission. I like knowing even if a bunker starts firing for example, my Carrack will be close enough to get back to and get out. I also store some Murai Fury's in it in case I die and need another ship to get back to the bunker / distro center. This ship is just better for that than something like a C2 which can also hold smaller ships because of the top hangar.
I have a Carrack named Artemis VII (tribute to NASA missions) and, although I’ve been tempted many times, never melted it because I love what it stands for and I know it’ll be the GOAT one day 😊
the scenery is breathtaking.
always a pleasure to watch your videos about Star Citizen and other things
Well, now that I have my Polaris and some other ships I really don't need I might get my beloved Carrack back. This is what I've been waiting for. Accessibility when it comes to the cargo bays or pods and that blast shield I guess will be a great protection in Pyro's solar storms etc.
Beautiful shots as always. And the Carrack is one of the best ships in SC. Few ships come to the same utility, and even less with views like it has.
While I can understand wanting to physicalize gear storage, a lot of ships got short-shrifted by them pushing ahead before all the ships were ready. Even where ships do have storage, having to use kiosks in your own hangar to load up a ship makes doing so an exercise in tedium.
they plan to let you preload ships and vehicles into other ships
I don't play SC, I probably never will. Still I come back to all of your videos to watch ships beautifully displayed while listening what those ships can do and what the current status of SC is. You're doing great, cheers Morph.
The Carrack became my starter ship about four and a half year ago, after watching a Morphologis review of it. I haven't used it since loading cargo containers became a thing, but with 4.0 it will be back in service. While my pledged fleet has grown quite a bit since then, it is not just a ship in the fleet.
I do have a Carrack and a Perseus for multi-crew gaming aspects. There's a lot of game loops current and planned that both of these ships are very versatile for. I'm excited for the day when the full experience of the game is out there for us.
The Carrack is still my dream ship to upgrade to, my MSR was my dream ship, but all those doors get in the way, but the Zeus has been really great so far. But I’d love to upgrade to a Carrack at some point, maybe when I get some of my friends to get pc’s I’ll bite the bullet. Absolutely stunning video work as always 10/10.
love the blast shields. one thing about SC ships that always felt off was how exposed a lot of the cockpits looked and felt. even with scifi hand waving “transparent material thats as strong as steel”. This makes it seem a good deal more “solid”.
Personally, Id prefer more cockpits recessed into the body of ships with small natural viewports and screens transmitted the view of peripherals from cameras. or other full/partial screen set ups that increases your feild of view without exposing the cockpit.
I would love a battle bridge deep inside the ship with tevarin style viewing ports.
i love cockpits at the rear or center of ships like 400i and merlin, I hope we get to see more designs like those in the future
Makes sense for Pyro especially, looking like it blocks radiation more than physical impacts
I would love to see some sort of automatic tinting of the windows the closer you get to the star of the system like with welding glass also there should be some sort of radiation shields/shutters
@@arenomusic thats another thing, in some kind of crash it looks like the pilots would immediately be the first thing that is smushed. in most irl aircrafts and cars the driver/pilot is behind and above some kind of nose or hood or other extended part that forms the very front. That position also helps to give a better sense of the vehicles dimensions since you can see more of of the ships body relative to the environment
Fell in love with it the first time I set a foot into. I still hold on to it, having the CCUs upwards to the Polaris. But I can't really hit execute with so many issues the Polaris still have.
I'll keep mine and with cargo finally working, no need for a further workhorse, but getting the upper turret into the hands of the pilot would be a nice addition.
Carrack's still one of my favorites, glad to see it's finally getting a little love.
There have been many ships that have tried to pull my attention but the Carrack keeps me coming back for more. People can have their Polaris, I am sticking with this old girl for the long term. Looking forward to her getting more modification that make sense. Screens being removed is always a bit odd especially the ones they did remove vs kept... hoping the battle bridge gets full flight functionality again as it was my favorite place to fly in all of SC. I hope CIG can understand and appreciate the things that this ship has always done right and move forward with that. The combination of many things forms a fantastic whole product that is just... Fun... Great video as per usual. See you out there!
That set of opening shots was gorgeous!
I don't play the game, but I do enjoy your videos on it...this ship is stunningly designed.
I love this ship, cheeky fact if you get a galaxy on the pledge store you get the carrack as a loaner
This is my current predicament. I’m a solo player, and if I melt everything I can get the galaxy, and carrack for now. I’m trying to persuade myself I can solo a carrack lol
I love my Carrack! It’s the biggest ship that I own and the only one I have of that weightclass. It’s so versatile and sits in a perfect spot size-wise for me.
Had the chance to grab it for an absolute bargain price during the initial concept sale. The euro was quite strong at that time and the VAT on digital goods was not yet a thing. Paid less than 300€ back then 😉 So I’ll keep it no matter what 😁
Great video as always man. As a Carrack owner I'm so happy to see these fixes for 4.0, finally get to put my favorite ship to good use. Now I don't feel as bad for not melting it for a Polaris. I might just do that with my Starfarer Gemini, that is badly in need of an upgrade to the current gold standards.
I am continuously blown away by the frikkin clouds. Seems like such a small thing, until you realize what kinda technical wizardry is actually involved
aside from the fact that it'll explode if someone farts in its direction it is pretty perfect. would be nice if they updated the cupboard in the mess room to have actual items like the redeemer
Morphologis: And now, thanks to the 4.0 update, it also has it's.... wait...
Carrack: TACTICAL FORESKIN DEPLOYED
i love my carrack i hope it gets more love and the mods it gets.
Dang Morph, top quality fidelity on the upload boss! Always love seeing a new vid come up on the feed. My guy, thats the North Star, don't relent and take your time to craft the magic because we here for it! (And yo, if you're reading this, bruv SHOW SUPPORT the mans' content!)
I'm so excited for the carrack to be more than it is right now. This was one of the ships that brought me into the game initially
Other than all the improvements people are talking about, cargo modules fully working, improved elevators, etc., I do really wish the pilot's area was visible from the command deck. It would make the bridge feel more together, than two completely separate areas.
The ship in lore feels like a Star Trek ship journeying off into distant space, and visually it reminds me of the Serenity from Firefly
Awesome freaking job as always man. Still waiting for the Starlancer video though ;)
I’m beginning to worry that it’s not coming, which sucks because I think the Starlancer addresses many points he made in the hull c video, so it would be interesting to see how he thinks about that. Plus it’s now my favorite ship so obviously it would be nice to
@@alegsb3943 These videos take time, I'm sure he's working on a multitude of different reviews so he's likely stressed for time. Patience is key my friend.
Oh I know haha I'm assuming it's going to be a really sweet video. Just jonesing for it.
I melted mine for a MISC Odyssey, Carrack will serve as a suitable loaner in the meantime. Overall it’s a good ship and it’s captains should be proud.
Still have mine. Still love it. It's going to be my go-to for Pyro for sure. I am glad that it's finally getting some more attention. It was almost traded for a Pegasus due to the stagnation.
Carrack just happens to be a fantastic "larger ship crew trainer" for the Polaris. I love both of mine, but the carrack has so much going for it for such a cheap cost to run that it makes an excellent daily driver expedition/training carrier/mobile base/scanner escort, my polaris is a very special occasion warship/light carrier/mobile base/capital escort for my bmm or hull e.
oh my god Morph, that intro gave me goosebumps. the game engine looks insane!
Great intro. I missed your ship videos, Morph. Great quality,excellent narration. ❤
the only tweaks on the Carrack in my opinion:
-level the med bay and hangar to the deck they are on.
-replace tiny doors on the flight bay with a door capable of passing stretchers/cargo through (force fields on bay if needed or treat it like an airlock)
-180 the med bay (optional but makes sense on routes from possible entry locations)
-make one of the elevators a second exit (nice to have but not required)
-airlock small elevator on all decks
with the bigger door and flattened floors, cargo and patients can be transferred to the main elevator and to their corresponding deck quickly without too many corners
'Perfect' timing Morphologis! I had some extra cash in my account after a melt and was just not using my MSR. I saw the Galaxy for $380, with the Carrack Expedition as loaner, and couldn't resist. I was looking for an all-in-one ship for Pyro exploring and saw this as 'Perfect' as well. I'm not expecting the Galaxy for a couple years most likely, so I'm looking forward to the Carrack being homebase for some time to come.
I keep mine for ever. It's the perfect all rounder for mid to late game.
I ended up switching back and forth and melting and buying, and eventually used my store credits to rebuy the old exploration pack, and upgraded the dragonfly to a gladiator, the 315p to a zeus and the dur to a starlancer tac.
I fell in love with the carrack the second i first saw it, which i believe was farristers video.
Reading through the comments, I see that several other people have said what I came to say. I am glad the ideas are catching on, so I'll say it again.
Central elevator goes to ground as a personnel entrance.
Hangar personnel doors replaced with a single larger door facing the central elevator to facilitate gurneys and cargo boxes.
Spin the medbay 180 degrees so the medbay door faces the central elevator.
Keep preaching the good word and maybe CIG will make these obvious fixes!
Content on the Carrack aside, this (in my humble opinion) is one of the best videos this channel has produced in terms of visuals. I appreciate the game has developed in the keen cinematographer's eye, but Morphologis captures it in a stunning way.
still waiting for that third pass of the Cutlass
I am keeping my Carrack, but the StarLancer is what I'll be taking to Pyro, with a Nursa in the back. If offers almost the same functionality but is solo flyable too. Last time I checked the Carrack med bed didn't even work, I hope they fixed it in 4.0.
