needs to be drag and drop tho so you can load how you want not just 1 pad 1 ship like the gladius here you could fit 4 furys around it easy if thats image is right making this capable of a light fighter screen for torp runs
I think the idea is that it will have its own asop terminal limited to the ship size of the hangar. This way, different players will have access to their own ships. This also mean that ships with landing pads will not be limited to “carry” only 1 ship per pad.
I am so glad you did an updated video on this. I have been rewatching through every single Perseus, Polaris, and Nautilus video I can get my hands on to keep my hopium juices flowing. You are a blessing.
you are not alone fellow citizen, doing the same since a couple of years, to the point where i've seen every video about those ships (yes, EVERY). So always happy if someone drops something new (especially the polaris, probably my most wanted ship), thx Pin
With the rise of Master Modes since you put this out, I think we see a radically different fleet action model. Fleet combats will be almost entirely positionally dictated by the largest ships on the field, with the largest in each feel facing one another head on. All other positioning will be “anchored” on your largest friendly ship. The Polaris almost defiantly will end up either the largest in small-medium day to day actions, or as a fire support ship in actions with the Idris+ on grid. In the first, it will need to use its torpedoes to hopefully even out fights against other corvettes that are much more durable. In the latter it will be seeking to cover its anchor from anything seeking a mobility kill on the anchor (fighters up to roughly redeemer size) and attempt pop out attacks via the torps on enemy corvettes, or even the enemy anchor. In both scenarios I doubt it’ll have the speed for true hit and run. That said, I suspect it will excel at dictating position when fighting other corvettes, and will create a unique threat where it ends up relatively lower dps and eHP than competitors, but has that massive alpha torpedo threat which is backed up by its own carrier abilities. The safest place for a rival fighting a Polaris will probably be to get inside the minimum torpedo distance, encouraging them to push. But it’s never an easy thing to push onto a torpedo boat. Could be really engaging for gameplay on both sides. Re: manned vs remote turrets. You will never have human crew so long as turrets remain weak and unrewarding, I strongly believe all turrets on all ships should be remote, with at a minimum two turrets per crew member connected to a single Gunnery Officer chair. For something like the Polaris I’d expect either two quite large dps turrets per station, or perhaps a few groups of 3 (a spinal battery perhaps). Remember, a human could always just get in an F8C (which everyone will have in a launched SC, it’s a SQ42 campaign reward). So a turret gunner has to get at least as much power as the F8C to justify ever getting on your Polaris to start.
The polaris is a great concept for an org that wants to really focus on small team tactics and privateering by either selling your services to the much larger orgs as an escort or mercenary to bolster forces in a time of war. This ship also seems to fill the role of a commerce raider extremely well targeting supply lines and just destroying logistics out behind enemy lines. Either way, this ship won't really shine until we have a much larger galaxy filled with internal player driven politics.
With me, personally, I think it would be a good all rounder ship since it also acts as a patrol ship and/or a flagship for like militia operations. However, I think you put a better definition in what it actually does better than me. It is actually a dream of mine to use as a main security contractor flag ship and my hopes is that the wait would be worth it, despite the doubts that it is given.
@@skydevil644 I think that it can be utilized in both respects, but those massive torpedos are really pushing us into one style of fighting. I imagine it more of a U-Boat than anything else really. It doesn't really fit into what we imagine a corvette to be; I.E. Hammerhead and Persus. I seems like it fulfills the role of a picket ship.
@@orthy853 I agree with you. I guess we’ll just see how it works as it releases. I still have hopes for this ship and tbh, the wait is killing me to fly it. lol
Another excellent presentation Steve! BTW the Captain is generally the CO in ship Naval command structured; number two is the XO or Executive Officer. A ship of this class normally would not require a Flag Officer (Commodore/Admiral) being a Corvette. I own hull # 2XX, I am as excited for Polaris arrival in the verse (with Gameplay of course) Be well and stay safe Citz o7
Thanks for the videos! I just noticed, small thing I wanted to comment is that on a Ship, the CO (commanding officer) is the Captain. So the CO's quarters would be the Captain's quarters. However, if a higher rank official is aboard, such as an Admiral, then technically the Admiral is the CO at that time (though often Admirals will let Captains operate as usual unless it's a special circumstance). So maybe they meant to say XO's room (executive officer, which is usually the 2nd in command on the ship)?
thanks, ive honestly had so many people saying different things about the captains quarters i dont know up from down. From acting serving navy personel to retired navy pilots. So untils its in game or the devs announce whats what im stumped on the issue ha ha
However as players aren't military and we're all citizens, chain of command is out the window and the one at the helm can very well be called Bossman. First mate will be called Greg.
Melted my BMM (well, upgraded it, because i got the 350 dollar version) for the Polaris. Yes, i'm "wasting" the savings i made by getting the BMM so early. But i just thought to myself. Do i want to get my moneys worth in SC this year, or after i'm a dad (im not even dating anyone yet, no shot the BMM is out sub 3 years). Frankly, i'm sick of waiting and letting $600 go to waste for literally no benefit. Hail the Polaris, throw the BMM in the trash.
Great overview! It’s on warbond today and I think your breakdown has convinced me to pull the trigger! Appreciate the video! One small correction: the commanding officer or commander is second in rank, below only the captain(unless your info is from CIG and their ranks differ from our military ranks)
Been waiting for my polaris since the original 2015 concept sale. Even got the shirt and its pretty much the only Star citizen merch I have. Definintly bought it for operation trident and Org fleets. Lots of power for minimal crew. Capital killer with a crew requirement of 6. That was a problem I see with a lot of orgs 20 javelins and idrises. 30 people in the org. Litterally more huge capital ships than people in the org. The polaris is a much better option. Power of an idris with crew requirements of a retaliator or connie andromeda. And the biggest non-industry ship you can reliably make money with. Its just a super versatile ship that can be called in the hit a cap ship in a moments notice.
I really think we're overtheorycrafting the various ship roles based on rank. The idea that "the CO gets info and passes on the info to the Captain, which then passes on target info to the torpedo room, which then launches". This happens in real life because there are real lives at risk (especially if you fire at the wrong target), with nested spiderwebs of responsibility and liability. In a game, you dont need that. You dont need to set up a long chain of triple-checks to cover your arse for a potential court martial 6 month trial. I am 99% sure the pilot will be able to fire the torpedos and missiles by himself. And im 99% sure that the cockpit wont be filled with anything but the pilot / captain himself. It's listed, in gameplay terms, as a 6 crew ship. That's 1 pilot captain, 4 turret gunners, 1 engineer. The torpedo room is there to LOAD torpedoes from the cargo bay after you run out of racked torpedoes. It may also be there for tuning and tweaking the torpedoes (range vs speed etc). There is absolutely no way that CIG will make it so you have to tell a guy in the torpedo room to press the launch button. In a multiplayer game you cant have a 20 second delay between every single combat decision. This is also why i think the whole XO / CO chain of command is absolutely irrelevant to even theorycraft about. It's for roleplay, its NOT gonna be necessary for any kind of gameplay. It's only going to lower your responsiveness and efficency, not raise it. Again, this isnt real life. You dont have real lives at risk or liability concerns to worry about.
Cant wait for this one, will be my new explorerer ship. Ill stick a terrapin in the back for scanning, and doubt ill have to launch it to scan. Will have to see how that works out but im glad i bought this one
The area right behind the bridge is the "Muster Deck". 5 seats in the bridge as others have said. Im hoping all the fins means it will actually fly better then other large ships in atmosphere, but we'll see. Great video.
just a quick observation, when it had the cargo room view, there 12 of what looked like 32SCU cargo containers maybe? that would make the cargo capacity 384 IF TRUE.
Heh, just recently I found my physical Polaris booklet again. As I recall you could add that to your cart for $0 when buying the Polaris at concept and CIG then sent it out to you through the mail. Definitely hoping it will turn out great, and with the size increase plus it now having a full set of capital sized components I wouldn't be surprised if CIG reclassifies it as a Light Frigate. 🙂 Then the Perseus can move into the spot as the Corvette just like how the Hammerhead changed from Gunship to Corvette; because they are similar in size and have the exact same components. Only difference is that the Hammerhead has lots of smaller caliber turrets and large missiles while the Perseus has two large caliber turrets and small torpedoes. It just wouldn't make sense to keep calling this Polaris a Corvette with all these changes as it's effectively a Light Frigate in everything except name now.
Based on that view alone, looks like 4 6x6x2 cargo grids for a total of 288, not too bad. If there's another grid out of view then that would be great.
older ships tend to have thicker design walls so less things would fit inside,newer ships are more cramped in with interior inside,plus its.a military ship so military would have simpler concept i guess
Loving these videos! I'll add that I'm pretty sure there are two more seats on the bridge that are kind of depressed and further off to the sides in the back for a total of five, the shot moving out the front of the bridge kind of overlaps the two front and rear seats. Keep it up!
really hoping my Apollo will fit inside its hangar. With the capital scanners it would make for an excellent rescue mother ship that can also defend itself if the people rescued are on somebody's hitlist. Or you rescue criminals, get them patched up and then off to the brig they go to be dropped off at the bounty station. That would be my idea plans for the Polaris.
The CO office was a misspeak by the dev it is the XO office/room. This the the stated room for the pilot that has supposed to been there since the concept was launched. The captain is the CO of a ship there is no office for a fleet commander on board.
06:42. I know this is a loooong shot, and likely doesn't have the actual featues in the right spots to even dream of it being a reality, but I had always kind of hoped that the front section of the Polaris could detach from the main body at the neck area where it's thinner. Of course, the front section would need to have it's own main and aux thrusters, and the main body would need some sort of auxilliary bridge, but that would be cool, if not very practical. Like, do the torps come out of those protrusions on the head section of the ship? If so, there wouldn't likely be a way the main body could fire any torps when separated. Perhaps that's a tradeoff then. But it would be cool to have the front break off as a turreted heavy fighter/escape craft. ***Also, The C.O. (AKA Commanding Officer) is ranked directly BELOW the Capt. not above. El Capitan is top dog.👍
Star Citizens RSI Polaris a ship which many have longed for, is now finally entering production and hopefully the not too distant future. This ship is a very popular one and i look foward to following the updates as it progresses down the pipeline. But what do you guys think? as always let me know down below! ATTENTION FYI! - How viable will it be to run a Polaris solo or with AI crew? In a combat scenario, you will absolutely need a crew of some form to stand much of a chance. The main firepower comes from the Torpedo launch room, which has a station for a dedicated weapons officer. You can hire AI crew to man the stations, and bear in mind that they are not free and come with varying levels of skill.

They need to implement, repair and rearm in ships this size so that carrying a smaller craft inside it would allow it to be repaired and rearmed for continuous engagement.
Looking at the turrets, thos are not the old size. Maybe they got the same size now as the one size 5? This ship will be feared for its hit and run attack's, Massive radar for the torpedo lock at huge distance. I got this ship and cant wait to fly it withe my m8's ho also cant wait to fill the spots in my ship :)
I'm certain those guns are at least size 5 now based on the size. I'm not sure but the original plan was to make the gun under the bridge 1 size larger than the rest.... and it seems like, to me, the turrets are now size 5 guns and the under bridge is size 6 guns. You can see it in the video they showed us. The gun size metrics are also pretty set at this point so if it looks like it compared to a human next to it, it probably is.
The CO is the captain. It's the same person. Why would you think anything else? The commanding officer of the ship is the captain. Also I'm pretty sure the torpedo room does not fire the torpedoes... the pilot or at least somebody on the bridge will do that. The torpedo room will reload the launchers. Without the loaders you would only get the 4 torpedoes to fire. Also the "angles" make it look fast sure but the real thing that let's you know it's fast is the massive number of engines on the back.
1. the CO and Captain are seperate induviduals which is why they each have a seperate quarters on the ship. 2. The torpedoes do not get fired from bridge. Read following... How viable will it be to run a Polaris solo or with AI crew? In a combat scenario, you will absolutely need a crew of some form to stand much of a chance. The main firepower comes from the Torpedo launch room, which has a station for a dedicated weapons officer. You can hire AI crew to man the stations, and bear in mind that they are not free and come with varying levels of skill. Or see link. robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15559-RSI-Polaris-Q-A-Part-1 3. i was talking abiut the ships appearance and its aero dynamic look, not its propulsion method.
That's actually the way I'll use mine in fleet actions alongside other large capitals, butvfor the most part it's a standalone (escorted by a few fighters/EW ships) force projection asset
Not a chance. CiG already admitted that SQ42 was their greatest mistake. SC would be near completion or already in beta without SQ42. They have 2 years after finishing SQ42 to get SC out of beta. Don’t forget that once SQ42 is out, CiG will no longer be dealing with “backers”. They’ll be dealing with customers. A completely different beast.
17:59 I'm just saying, from a security perspective on this military vessel... I'm not so sure I like the idea that the hangar is accessible from the same hall as the brig. If you get a prison break, you'd want (I'd think) escaping prisoners to have to funnel through more areas where they can be stopped (I'm thinking guard posts, quarters, and rec areas, not vital components) rather than having a quick route to their ticket off the ship (a fighter to steal).
I thought they said the s3 and s10 torpedoes can be pilot controlled? And they have it listed that there are some manned and remote turrets. Having remote turrets are really nice because you can have the computer control them rsther than having a person or pay an ai
I got this ship because I figure my friends and I could use it on Raid Day. I doubt I will ever be able to solo this much ship w ith an NPC crew. I don't mind if CIG takes their time making it right.
Anyone else think that RSI has their hands in too many industries? Meanwhile so many other manufacturers only build in one niche and a couple have been neglected by comparison, especially Consolidated Outland.
This is a great video I'm sold on this ship but I really want at least the ability to be the pilot and shoot at least 2 guns and maybe shoot a torp or two. I would stick a couple of the razor ex for some stealth missions. Do you know if the Scorpious would fit in the hanger that wou😊ld be crazy
@@PIN-o7 not according to all naval history since the dawn of sea travel, however command carriers are know to have 2 quarters for CO's/Captains, One closer to the bridge when deployed one closer to the exit ramp/gangway or airlock for when at harbour, also known to sometimes house VIP's or higher ranks which arn't in command but are coming along for fleet training or special operations. any sizeable corvette in modern navy's have 2 quarters for captains. and there are designated differently for easy identification when calling out a location. I'm active serving and CIG are trying to give a military feel to the some ships so it makes sense they would copy this from modern navies.
@@kingkiller546 right ok, this is just get frustrating now. Because ive had comments by serving people telling me its a captain and a XO, and others telling me its one person with 2 quarters. It just seems to be conflicted messages at this point.
Unfortunately no, the hangar will be a XS Hangar (S2 - 24x32x12). Sure, usually we manage to get bigger ships in, but the Corsair would be a LOT bigger (S4 - 56x55x30). I hope we can fit 2 Scorpius(S2 - 13x30x6) , that would be nice.
Best use for the Polaris? solo daily driver! I know that's how I'll use mine, and I'll pay for it with box missions! those turrets dotting the ships were supposed to be S4, but from those schematics they look at least S5, possibly S6, when compared to the human figures... Which is good and all but leaves the Polaris somewhat vulnerable to bombers. As for if there are enough escape pods? Fuck the NPC crew, each for their own, captain and players before, if the rest die, God will recognize it's own! Bravely saving myself before everything! I'm the Henry Avery of SC!
@@SmokeWiseGanja HH is for fighter with his 4 size 4 turrets, Size 5 weapons muzzle velocity is 700m/s and rate of fire for repeater is not that good so not good for fighter but will smash biger ship
I disagree that no one will be dissapointed by its looks and especially that the looks of the ships are the main selling point. If anything is what is keeping me from getting it. The popularity of the ship was due to the inicial price and for features / versatility, especially the brig, medical and hangar. In my opinion the ship looks weird in a bad way and I'd like it more if they kept the same design language ad the Perseus and Galaxy.
@@konyption Exactly, like the Persues or Galaxy, with a retracted cockpit design. It dosnt make sense for a vessel meant for war to have the cockpit so exposed.
Ive been waiting for this ship for forever it feels like. ANd i hate to say it, but I kind of wish i never bought the thing because the Starcitizen while impressive in scope, its a terrible game as is, and probably will be in the future.
Proud Polaris owner here. I cant wait to see this released into our hands. After this citizen con news, the hype is just amplified.
They really need a way to load craft into the hangers/bays of our ships through the ASOP terminal or ship loadout menu.
The devs have confirmed that will be implemented.
needs to be drag and drop tho so you can load how you want not just 1 pad 1 ship like the gladius here you could fit 4 furys around it easy if thats image is right making this capable of a light fighter screen for torp runs

With the capital scanners it would make for an excellent rescue mother ship that can also defend itself if the people rescued are on somebody's hitlist. Or you rescue criminals, get them patched up and then off to the brig they go to be dropped off at the bounty station. That would be my idea plans for the Polaris.
Since manned turrets have their own capacitors they are naturally the superior type of turret on a multicrew ship.
The CO office was a misspeak by the dev it is the XO office/room. This the the stated room for the pilot that has supposed to been there since the concept was launched. The captain is the CO of a ship there is no office for a fleet commander on board.
I'm just wanting my Endeavor master set, too bad it'll be one of the last ships made.
But just think how good cig will be at making big complicated ships by that time. You will have a quality ship..focus on the positives.
06:42. I know this is a loooong shot, and likely doesn't have the actual featues in the right spots to even dream of it being a reality, but I had always kind of hoped that the front section of the Polaris could detach from the main body at the neck area where it's thinner.
Of course, the front section would need to have it's own main and aux thrusters, and the main body would need some sort of auxilliary bridge, but that would be cool, if not very practical. Like, do the torps come out of those protrusions on the head section of the ship? If so, there wouldn't likely be a way the main body could fire any torps when separated. Perhaps that's a tradeoff then. But it would be cool to have the front break off as a turreted heavy fighter/escape craft.
***Also, The C.O. (AKA Commanding Officer) is ranked directly BELOW the Capt. not above. El Capitan is top dog.👍
Really loved this walkthrough and really excited for the Polaris to come into the game!
The shot around 11:50 - i think you missed 2 further seats, hidden behind the pilot and co-pilot.
Star Citizens RSI Polaris a ship which many have longed for, is now finally entering production and hopefully the not too distant future. This ship is a very popular one and i look foward to following the updates as it progresses down the pipeline. But what do you guys think? as always let me know down below! ATTENTION FYI! - How viable will it be to run a Polaris solo or with AI crew?
In a combat scenario, you will absolutely need a crew of some form to stand much of a chance. The main firepower comes from the Torpedo launch room, which has a station for a dedicated weapons officer. You can hire AI crew to man the stations, and bear in mind that they are not free and come with varying levels of skill.

im thinking it might have a super high top speed of around 1400m/s or even faster then the idris at 1500m/s+
They need to implement, repair and rearm in ships this size so that carrying a smaller craft inside it would allow it to be repaired and rearmed for continuous engagement.
The polaris will do this for ships inside it. they already announced that.
Looking at the turrets, thos are not the old size. Maybe they got the same size now as the one size 5? This ship will be feared for its hit and run attack's, Massive radar for the torpedo lock at huge distance. I got this ship and cant wait to fly it withe my m8's ho also cant wait to fill the spots in my ship :)
I'm certain those guns are at least size 5 now based on the size. I'm not sure but the original plan was to make the gun under the bridge 1 size larger than the rest.... and it seems like, to me, the turrets are now size 5 guns and the under bridge is size 6 guns. You can see it in the video they showed us. The gun size metrics are also pretty set at this point so if it looks like it compared to a human next to it, it probably is.
Anyone upset to lose the "Hammerhead" after the Polaris is released ?
I've rather enjoyed it as a loaner for XT runs and whatnot. I've decided that I'll buy one with aUEC for sure once the Polaris is live!
nah ,its interesting interior design but ugly exterior in my opinion
Awesome ship, cant wait for it!
Judging by the npc on the ground I'd say this thing will be around 890 Jump in size
The CO is the captain. It's the same person. Why would you think anything else? The commanding officer of the ship is the captain.
Also I'm pretty sure the torpedo room does not fire the torpedoes... the pilot or at least somebody on the bridge will do that. The torpedo room will reload the launchers. Without the loaders you would only get the 4 torpedoes to fire.
Also the "angles" make it look fast sure but the real thing that let's you know it's fast is the massive number of engines on the back.
1. the CO and Captain are seperate induviduals which is why they each have a seperate quarters on the ship.
2. The torpedoes do not get fired from bridge. Read following...

3. i was talking abiut the ships appearance and its aero dynamic look, not its propulsion method.
I like the idea of the Polaris being in the initial wave of the strike, then coming back at the end to help with cleanup
That's actually the way I'll use mine in fleet actions alongside other large capitals, butvfor the most part it's a standalone (escorted by a few fighters/EW ships) force projection asset
Don't think all devs will transfer to PU once SQ42 is finished. I'm expecting and hoping for SQ42 to have a decent amount of expansions.
There are 3 planned sq42 releases actually. So basically, as soon as they're done with the first chapter they'll move on to the next.
Many ships came from SQ42 - Reclaimer, Hull C, and many others.
Squadron 42 expansions are going to be like other game franchises. Once part 1 comes out, it'll be easy to release a sequel every year.
Not a chance. CiG already admitted that SQ42 was their greatest mistake. SC would be near completion or already in beta without SQ42. They have 2 years after finishing SQ42 to get SC out of beta. Don’t forget that once SQ42 is out, CiG will no longer be dealing with “backers”. They’ll be dealing with customers. A completely different beast.
I really like this design...it's a nice design
CO is commanding officer. XO would be executive officer. 2nd in command. I do believe that was the captains office. Good vid though.
100 percent but atleast all the assets would be available for the pu after its release.
I really wish the cockpit was in the rear and could raise and lower.
Thank you!
17:59
I'm just saying, from a security perspective on this military vessel... I'm not so sure I like the idea that the hangar is accessible from the same hall as the brig. If you get a prison break, you'd want (I'd think) escaping prisoners to have to funnel through more areas where they can be stopped (I'm thinking guard posts, quarters, and rec areas, not vital components) rather than having a quick route to their ticket off the ship (a fighter to steal).
I thought they said the s3 and s10 torpedoes can be pilot controlled? And they have it listed that there are some manned and remote turrets. Having remote turrets are really nice because you can have the computer control them rsther than having a person or pay an ai
Can't wait to fly mine, and change loaner to polaris for jav, so I can have 2 in asop😂
glad the thing has a med bay
I bet this thing will be hull limited at the next sale. Its getting bigger, and everyone seems to have one!
it will be a very common ship to see in the verse i bet.
It's been 750$ for a long time. I play with over 30 people and only 2 of us have one. I think they will be more rare than you think.
I got this ship because I figure my friends and I could use it on Raid Day. I doubt I will ever be able to solo this much ship w ith an NPC crew. I don't mind if CIG takes their time making it right.
it's hard to avoid your amazing videos as always bloody fantastic mate
but hey no perseus
it looks like there are two more seats behind the piolate and co piolate seat in the pic you showed. is that something else?
Anyone else think that RSI has their hands in too many industries? Meanwhile so many other manufacturers only build in one niche and a couple have been neglected by comparison, especially Consolidated Outland.
because RSI is the oldest ship manufacture in the lore
They should put in some prisoner cell too
There is 5 seats btw the others are lowered at the back on both sides
There will be zero need for a CO on my Polaris. If they add a room for such a creature I guess I could use it for storage of spare parts or similar.
Everything about the Polaris says space Submarine.
Low signal. High speed. High maneuverability.
This is a great video I'm sold on this ship but I really want at least the ability to be the pilot and shoot at least 2 guns and maybe shoot a torp or two. I would stick a couple of the razor ex for some stealth missions. Do you know if the Scorpious would fit in the hanger that wou😊ld be crazy
Maybe you should do an update? I just bought one of these bad boys at IAE.
Have to point this out but the CO is the Captain, CO = Commanding Officer.
No. They are two separate individuals, which is why there are 2 separate quarters for both of them.
@@PIN-o7 not according to all naval history since the dawn of sea travel, however command carriers are know to have 2 quarters for CO's/Captains, One closer to the bridge when deployed one closer to the exit ramp/gangway or airlock for when at harbour, also known to sometimes house VIP's or higher ranks which arn't in command but are coming along for fleet training or special operations. any sizeable corvette in modern navy's have 2 quarters for captains. and there are designated differently for easy identification when calling out a location. I'm active serving and CIG are trying to give a military feel to the some ships so it makes sense they would copy this from modern navies.
@@kingkiller546 right ok, this is just get frustrating now. Because ive had comments by serving people telling me its a captain and a XO, and others telling me its one person with 2 quarters. It just seems to be conflicted messages at this point.
@@PIN-o7I bought the Polaris.
Pretty sure the sq42 team will jump directly into the sequels after it's release lol
The enlarged hangar looks like can even swallow a Corsair 💀
Unfortunately no, the hangar will be a XS Hangar (S2 - 24x32x12). Sure, usually we manage to get bigger ships in, but the Corsair would be a LOT bigger (S4 - 56x55x30). I hope we can fit 2 Scorpius(S2 - 13x30x6) , that would be nice.
got it :)
I wanna see the torps hitting yourself like happens on most ships given desync
there called boomerang torps.
2 scorps in the hangar maybe?
nice video, very well done. can you do one like this for the Spirit A1? i already pledged that but like this type of video about our ships :) Thanks
its on the never ending list :)
Hit and Run, or silent running while fight is going on fire torps, of shoot that big pirate kraken
give me a bigger gravity ball, i can take it ;D
Best use for the Polaris? solo daily driver! I know that's how I'll use mine, and I'll pay for it with box missions!
those turrets dotting the ships were supposed to be S4, but from those schematics they look at least S5, possibly S6, when compared to the human figures... Which is good and all but leaves the Polaris somewhat vulnerable to bombers.
As for if there are enough escape pods? Fuck the NPC crew, each for their own, captain and players before, if the rest die, God will recognize it's own! Bravely saving myself before everything! I'm the Henry Avery of SC!
How much bigger than the 890 is this?
do we know the new sizes of the turrets?
listed as s5
x7 manned twin s5 turrets now. Damn.
@@SmokeWiseGanja HH is for fighter with his 4 size 4 turrets, Size 5 weapons muzzle velocity is 700m/s and rate of fire for repeater is not that good so not good for fighter but will smash biger ship
The captain IS the CO, Commanding Officer. The XO, Executive Officer, is the one you mean.
polaris is a capital now
I disagree that no one will be dissapointed by its looks and especially that the looks of the ships are the main selling point. If anything is what is keeping me from getting it. The popularity of the ship was due to the inicial price and for features / versatility, especially the brig, medical and hangar. In my opinion the ship looks weird in a bad way and I'd like it more if they kept the same design language ad the Perseus and Galaxy.
I think it would look a lot better if the bridge overlooked the hangar instead of being at the nose
@@konyption agreed
@@konyption100
@@konyption Exactly, like the Persues or Galaxy, with a retracted cockpit design. It dosnt make sense for a vessel meant for war to have the cockpit so exposed.
Yea the looks are strange
It really should be a Cruiser, not a Corvette.
As long as you keep falling on your ass whenever the pilot turns the ship the engineering will be a complete booboo
Engineering will be stupid ki work.
Ive been waiting for this ship for forever it feels like. ANd i hate to say it, but I kind of wish i never bought the thing because the Starcitizen while impressive in scope, its a terrible game as is, and probably will be in the future.
Starfield already beat this game.... imo
can you seamlessly go from planet to space with no loading screens in starfield? can you fly your ship around in atmosphere in starfield?
Can you play Starfield with multiple friends?
It's not even out. No multiplayer.
@@csdigitaldesign I am aghast
And where is the merchantman?😢
