Anyone who has watched the Expanse knows the strategy to preventing fires and explosive decompression in combat. If you are knowingly entering combat, suit up and put your helmet on, then decompression your ship (in SC that'd be disabling the life support). No oxygen means no fuel for fires and no pressure for explosive decompression.
If you're a solo player, then just turn off your life support and your risk of having a fire should, in theory, be massively mitigated.
Could not agree more, I know there are some cool looking civilian wear outfits but none are worth dying for lol. So I am always fully armored while on my ships. This may mean I have less "fun" with the fire aspect of the game but I am good with that.
and most of us are suited up in the seat anyway. So most of the time you wont even have to do that. Just fly in without life support.
Also can we appreciate the core strenghth of our avatars like straight horizontal slide into the bed damn
A great example of how ship design continues to improve. The lift with quick access to the cockpit alone is an excellent QoL feature. Hopefully one day some of this learning will make its way back to older ships.
I don't know about that, the Connie's have had an exit near the bridge/cockpit since the beginning. The fact that the Zeus has one might be caused by the brand style guide for rsi. The fact that crusader ships don't have an cockpit exit might also be a style guide thing.
@@gildedbear5355CIG said the MSR was supposed to have one, they forgot to add it, but that they eventually will when they give it a gold pass
Cargo Elevator would mean the ship would have to be much taller on its Landing Gear.
I tried to check them out in PTU last night, but someone blew up the CL before I could climb in! Thanks for the tour! XD
I got my CL and tried it out last night. I love it!❤
Looks very nice! I hope the Constellations get a makeover to look more like this!
I'm really tempted to up my c1 to this, it just looks like a more fun amount of ship, but need to fly it to see if I'm happy with the expected loss of the manoeuvrability etc
I’m gonna get an ES, but mainly as a placeholder to step up to the MR when it drops.
@@geley5285 if they let me buy up to the MR immediately, I’ma do that, then.
Looks realistic for what a space ship would feel like inside kind of like an airplane, tight and effective use of space rather than making things wide large and big with empty wasted space
The Zeus MK2 ES has officially become my new favorite solo exploration ship. I checked it out last night in the PTU and was gushing at EVERYTHING. I really REALLY hope CIG has learned a lot from the Zeus MK2 when they re-polish the Constellation ships.
beautiful, thank you for the tours!
Love the fact you can get into the ship apart from the ramp. Wish more of the ships were designed this way.
The living area is so much better than the Connies’
Still waiting on my Zeus ES too! Hope it goes live before Citizen Con!
I saw some of these today on Aberdeen upside down on the landing pads
Nice to finally see some in game walk arounds. And, I'm going to fly it solo quite often.
Thank you for showing of the new ship! :)
Waiting for the Zeus to go live. I was curious to see the cargo arm/tractor beam, but overall great vid for showing off one of the best looking ships so far.
Zeus looks nice o7
NGL, love the design, wasn't excited about this when it was announced but now I'm into it
Thanks for the update bored, I really like these ships
I didn't know that you can fire the turret weapons without going to the camera view of the remote turret. It would almost make sense for the component bays to be airtight to smother a fire in them. I love the detail all the ships have.
The Zeus size ships should be workable solo. I get it for the larger ones. But the Zeus is pretty small compared to other similar role ships like the Corsair.
It looks pretty good. I wouldn’t mind a medical variant to compete with the Cutlass Red. Run patients to Apollo’s. Ngl, I was hoping you’d fly it over Lier II a bit more.🇺🇦🇭🇹🇵🇸
Looking forward to grabbing my CL!
They are sweet ships BUT I am concerned that players might not find them solo friendly.
@@BoredGamerUK How so? The only thing that requires you to change the seat is the tractor beam, no?
@@BoredGamerUK Just stay away from the pew pew. Engineering her solo will just add to our emerging don't you think.
I love the fact that there's not a ton of wasted space in the interior. I hate how many cockpits have this giant open space large enough to host a kegger behind the seats.
Finally! I can fly my Zeus CL!
Love the look of the Zeus. I have the CCUs to turn my Rambler into an MR and am looking forward to .2 going live so I can get my ES Loaner.
Thanks for these ship tours.
May get one in game when available. It's a nice size to upgrade from the Cutlass when doing a lot of cargo stuff.
Definitely a nice ship. I hope all future reworks on ships look this good.
Can't wait to get random items in the kitchen and sleeping area, make it all "homey". Great ship, looking forward to the next in line, and updates to older models.
Such a beauty, look forward to flying y ES in live.
I am looking forwards to the Zeus ES together with Pyro. Exploring stuff was the reason I bought it
I like the interior layout. Looks good! Can't wait to see the Galaxy now.
im excited to pick one of these up when they come out to the PU!
it would be cool if the air lock erternal had panels that folded down to create that walkway when you open the door for a better shape still a grate ship
Great video, great ship! Was hoping it would with a Nurse..
Nice looking ship. Might be a nice alternative to the c1 or cutlass. C1’s wingspan is a bit wide for me
With all the new stuff coming out to make multi-crew ships need crews, it will be interesting to see how solo players that have these ships adjust. I know I will end up flying my single crew ships more.
the Zeus is looking soooo GOOD!
Cant wait to try it ingame
The only thing I wonder about with the ships released years ago and today, is when will the ships have outdated design Language? Outdated textures? Functionalities? If they aim for a full release, are there entire re-works planned for the older ships? The Vanguard Warden needs some help, and the Constellation line up could use some help, too. IMO
I do love the cutlass + game package
The Zeus' more close competitors are the spirit and cutlass series of ships. It doesn't compare to the constellation in any way other than cargo! The constellations have way more firepower and combat ability than even the MR
The ships looking great! Can't wait for the MR to come out really glad i bought one when i could.
Zeus left seat turret guns and they function like a turret, right seat Tractor Beam for the outside cargo.
RSI are my favourite looking ships. This one is one of the best
This ship makes me wonder why I should even bother with my Spirit any more, it does everything better from what I’ve seen. Even in terms of feeling like a realistic spaceship, it seems to use its internal space much better.
It's a really nice looking ship I kind of wish they would come out and say what they want each of the medium ships to do. I'm really close to switching out my C1 for the new shiny
I would like to see the third variant as well. They do look good but we'll see if they can compete with the likes of constellation
I hope the MR does come out also soon. Though I guess maybe 4.0 will bring it to us!
I wish I had a use for the Zeus CL but I already have a MSR and it doesn't make sense to loose the data running capability for a little more cargo.
It's painful not being able to fly my Zeus yet, but it will be all that more sweet to do so when I can😊
Zues might be my new daily driver ship
Love my C1 but damn I need that ladder in the front!
from all the videos i seen about the Zeus, it seems no one is checking if you can stand in the airlock balcony while in space, or you lose gravity as soon as you walk out the door.
Good looking ship - just wonder at the 150 mark - would people skip it in favour of the cheaper C1 or pay a little more and get the Taurus - can see the either one being more popular if they nurf the Corsair to only being able to use 2 of the forward facing guns if you're solo.
Thanks for the update...
The Cl looks amazing and will prob replace my c1 but the MR's release is one I'm hanging for.
The Zeus looks really nice, maybe I'll buy it in game at some point.
But for now I have to excercise restraint and stick to my current fleet :)
I do love the look of the Zeus EXCEPT for those poxy little wingtips
I like this ship… I can’t wait for suit lockers to work!!!
I like this more than the Constellation.
Seems like it could be a cool ship
Fantastic looking ship!
So the style I like is similar to the avenger. Ship with good firepower, has interior big enough for vehicle (nothing crazy huge but as least a meditover or a cyclone), and a rear ramp. Also day 7 of the dibs. Wonder what kinds of vehicles can fit. Size…. I think maybe bigger then avenger but kinda smaller then connie tbh the spirit would be perfect but I just wish it was a bit bigger for vehicles. Hopeful for Zeus but wish it had at least one more gun for pilot
I curious what handling looks like for the Zeus as compared to a Cutlass.
I’m anxiously awaiting the MR. I fear it’s going to be a while though, being that we need the bounty hunting rework first. 😢
lol, the CL just screams, I have cargo, come after me.
Should I buy one [in-game], it most likely would be the CL version, although I still would rather have a ship with a 250 to 300 SCU capacity - somewhere in the middle of the currently available ships.
beautiful ship!
Im so ready to fly this ship.
If the CL had an elevator, it'd be able to house a rover, making it the obvious choice.
What do we think the largest ground vehicle you could fit in them both be? are their cargo ramp/Doors the same size?
Looking good!
I think zeus will be fine for solo layers, it's not that big and you will be in the same situation on a smaller ship if a fire breaks out.
I'm curious as to how hard it will be to load larger boxes into the CL the ramp and door seem small compared to others.
The very small size difference between the cargo decks of the two variants makes me think that the 32 vs. 128 scu is largely artificial.
They should have put a ladder hatch on the MSR!
Any ship that's classed as an explorer MUST have a med bed or be able to carry a medivac. No explorer every said " I'm off to find new world and unusual places but i'm not going to take any medial supplies or anyone that known basic 1st aid" well the one's that did never came back. The Rocinante from expance was a gun ship - had a med bay. Serenity from firefly was a small transport ship - had a Med bay, even Mando's Razer Crest had an area for medical and survival gear. So come on CIG at least make the rear doors big enough to let the medivac drive in.
I think my C1 will be getting upgraded to the CL, i like the look of it more, it looks like its better appointed.
i cant wait to get my zues
Did I see 49 shots on the guns?! if so that's pretty good, I didn't get to see the capacity on the CL though do you know if it's any different than the es?
What changes have made ships like the Zeus mk.II difficult to solo?
So this is one of the many ships they teased last citcon. So how many are left for the reveal this year?
They are super sharp ships. I don't know if I will add one to my fleet.
are those missle racks under the chairs? That will be one hot seat.
As soon as i can upgrade imm upgrading my titan to this, like ive never been excited for a ship in this game but the zueus series was like love at first sight when i learned about it last month lolz
if the titan is a starter pack i'd advise against it. if you have a 120 month insurance on the titan then fair enough but most starter packs come with 6 months. You might still be able to buy the ATLS warbond for a LTI then CCU the ATLS to the Zeus.
Do you think it would fit a ROC or two in the hold?
love it.. its so slick
Very cool looking ships. I think I'd go for the ES if I was going to get one.
The Zeus are good looking ships but I usually end up playing most games solo so probably not getting it. Thanks for the updates!
I'm mostly a solo player and the Zeus is very much a solo'able ship... any larger (like the Conni) and you will need friends to remain effective.
@@Nemoticon No its not, redundant weapons, yet Lots of fire extinguishers, and a nice engineering console. Stop living in denial
Its not a solo ship, yet you can try, become a better pilot or remove all weapons, fit crap components and fly in a gown. No one will want you or your ship. Seriously, just get a Zeus and do your best, many will try......also, claim times will be short.
@@davewills148 How many hours you already have flying and playing with it? Seems a bit early to determine it isn't soloable? Sure you'll struggle and probably die if someone comes to get your cargo but that's a risk most cargo haulers are willing to take, specially on this size of ship. Or are you really thinking people will be just jumping at the idea of crewing this ship to use fire extinguishers or play with a single turret? Unless maybe if you're playing with a friend? And what does having several fire extinguishers have anything to do with multi crew on this ship anyway?! Judging by their location, on THIS SIZE of ship, just means that they are on critical areas where fires might occur, which is close to components. Sure it will be more efficient if you have more people with you but it seems by all means soloable but I'll be 100% once I've used it. Would love to comment on your second comment but couldn't make any sense about the whole gown and removing weapons thing.
Anyway, different people, different ideas and perceptions I guess. Peace ✌️
How were you able to even leave your starting city? Been trying for days on the PTU and nothing works at all.
Why are we getting the ES if we have the MR? There is NO exploration in ANY form yet, we should get the CL at least for do some missions.
I love it... the ES appears to tick allthe boxes for what I want in a ship, wanting a compact Explorer👍
Well you brought a eunuch to start with, should have gone for the CL, and yep it it does tick many boxes:, lots of fire extinguishers, and a nice engineering console, fire Management, distributed weapons, life support, new ballistics, ship armour and the icing on the cake PYRO, good luck chuck
@@davewills148 I don't want a CL, I want an Explorer, as the ES is with more range and Large Rader.
@@Nemoticonwell an extra 30 SCU easily fits in the corners and across the area of the stairs so it’s not a cargo hauler to the extent of the CL but in capacity it can equal a C1.
It would seem there was not a problem with the shadows it was that the sun had not risen very high or at all.😂
Good job 🎉
