An absolutely gorgeous new ship. Funny how a game that started as a space combat Sim has so many beautiful ships you don't want to take anywhere near a combat situation.
They really are. A lot of them, with the way I rearranged my fleet for this year, are like mobile homes for me and my crew. I only want to shoot if I have too lol
Sounds like a super ship, but I won't buy or even think about it again as CIG has all of these great ships we never see, even tho backer money was spent. But they give us new ships we can't fully use, all about sales. Been a backer for years and still long ways to go.
Really liked the moment where they talked in front of the odyssey. Even top gear had calm moments in between “the action” and that was very welcome here. Next time there should be more of that, wouldn’t mind a more proper 15-20 minute episode where Jax talk about ships and discuss more instead of just having action snippets.
That would slap if they had actual episodes like that lmao. They could even test myths that people think the ships have or do things that people say they shouldn't.
My god, top gear but with space ships… that would be the best! One would go on and on about the wars and history of the oldest ships in the game, the other would go crazy for adventure and ships with absurd stats and performance, and finally the gear head who understood mechanics of the ships and always ended up in a crash… god I wish
i was hapy to see it too, but the "dropping anchor" comment was sooo ancient! for some reason i don't think that will be an expression they'll use in a thousand years in reference to stopping a spaceship XD
Just wow! Loved this season of Whitley's Guide! It's nice that you let your writers have some fun with heartwarming drama. Definitely something I wish we could have more in the game...thinking of the old Tessa Bannister, or the detective mission on the Daymar orbital station.
Watch them bring tesa back but in a completely different system working on a station in like some system that wont be in game tell we have 7 other systems first.
I would love to get sneak peaks of the odysseys development through following Jax on his soul searching journey. Would be a super cool way to build hype for this ship (:
The cargo refactor was suppose to be out but had to get pushed until next year. I am sure the raft was primed for the cargo refactor. They released the raft anyways since it was ready.
@@chomp7927 I suspect they designed the Raft as a stopgap to go out ahead of the refactor, just in case the refactor itself went smoothly but there were issues with the Hull. That way after the end of year update, people would definitely have access to at least one ship that uses the feature, no matter what. And also, it would be flyable even if the refactor got pushed, which it did.
Well that's just really awesome. Whitley's Guide with Jax this year was PHENOMENAL. Truly.. amazing. 10/10, especially for something that's not a primary goal but something that adds some flavor to an event in a game. Truly exceptional! THANKS!
Huge appreciation to everyone involved in these episodes. Writers, animators, mocap, voice actors, canteen staff, vending machine replenishment specialists... everyone involved in any way, many thanks. They are always good but this year's were exceptional.
after seeing jimmy show the vid of him and his mother a small tear escaped my dry eyes. love to see that even in the videos that aren't about ship's the production quality is through the roof
Love it, especially the "Some place like the Pyro system. I mean someplace where no one would bother me". LOL the mad lad he chooses the outlaw system full of pirates to take a sabbatical.
I love these videos, that was was great. I kind of wish there were longer episodes that could be watched on screens in some of the bigger ships - actual in flight entertainment.
oh god that would be amazing. They hold the release of pyro for the expo next year during a free flight event and make it a series of missions that take you around all of pyro trying to track him down before having to rescue him in a community event like xenothreat where everyone has to come attack the pirate flotilla that is holding him hostage. Event ends with the players having to disable a pirate idris then landing on it, fighting your way through it to get Jax out and back to stanton. Then everyone gets some kinda neat cosmetic for participating.
I kind of hope this means an ingame event where we have to rescue Jax from the pirates to get him to safety.. but then then UNLIKE in Elite:D, that no person can ruin the good ending of that story arc, while still giving the players 2 or more outcomes: barely escaped VS glorious triumph, or so.
Brilliant Job CIG, been to every IAE Expo since the beginning. Have always looked forward to watching Mccleary and his antics. This topped the list for best IAE to date.

Dang...this is getting seriously interesting to watch...not cause of the expo...but..like a properly done short story series...CR misses his director days or what? Keep it coming
"At the end of the day, it's all about the ships". Some ships look over complicated and seem to belong more in a world war II setting. Some seem straight out of my favourite futuristic sci-fi novel. I'm not naming any because I love the variety of styles. There is a ship for every roll and every person.
Don’t wait up for me mate = Is what Star citizen release says to us every day for the past 10 years lol. That aside, omg this episode is so good, well done CIG.
So torn between this years Whitley eps. Loved the back story that brings us closer to the world, but it also breaks the immersion that we were watching a show. Either way we'll done CIG
Always excited to see some stories within the 'Verse. Whether it's Jimmy n' Jax or the miscreants aboard the Belligerent Duck... I'd like to see more... more often! Greedy, I know. ;)
These videos make the expo that much better! Good work CIG giving us characters we actually care about 😁. Hopefully one day they will actually be in game at a expo and we can go visit them and get a screenie or 2 beside them 😁
this indicates 1, the odyssey will be around before IAE next year, and 2 pyro will be visitable before IAE next year. however, that is a 7 man crew ship.. and jax just took off solo..
you gave jimmy a backstory and i'm not crying you're crying
*sniff* ...
No..!
Right?!?..sniff
😭 Jimmy!!!!!😭
NO! I'm not crying..... *sniff*
What is this salty discharge coming out of my eyes?!
An absolutely gorgeous new ship. Funny how a game that started as a space combat Sim has so many beautiful ships you don't want to take anywhere near a combat situation.
other than the one that goes BRRRRRRRRT ;)
They really are. A lot of them, with the way I rearranged my fleet for this year, are like mobile homes for me and my crew. I only want to shoot if I have too lol

I'm glad they skipped the Argo MPUV stuff with Jax. It would have killed the Top Gear feel.
i was hapy to see it too, but the "dropping anchor" comment was sooo ancient! for some reason i don't think that will be an expression they'll use in a thousand years in reference to stopping a spaceship XD
I like this relationship arc between jimmy and jax. They've found their personalities. And reeaaaaly looking forward to the odessy!
Please tell me Jax is gonna start a farm show on the MISC Odyssey now called Jax's Farm
lol
They have to at some point haha
He'll probably do that when we get the Endeavor.
No. It will be when the outpost will be released :)
Farming... really?, man of your talent?
Oh jimmy, bringing a tear to my eye. Hope Jax makes it back. God speed mad lad McCleary!
Just wow! Loved this season of Whitley's Guide! It's nice that you let your writers have some fun with heartwarming drama. Definitely something I wish we could have more in the game...thinking of the old Tessa Bannister, or the detective mission on the Daymar orbital station.
They're saving all that for Squadron 42 :)
Oh man I forgot Tessa 😭
They promised years ago that Tessa would return. They've probably finished all her recordings already and are just sitting on them.
Watch them bring tesa back but in a completely different system working on a station in like some system that wont be in game tell we have 7 other systems first.
I would love to get sneak peaks of the odysseys development through following Jax on his soul searching journey. Would be a super cool way to build hype for this ship (:
I really like that we've only EVER seen two ships approach that jump gate. The Carrack, and the Odyssey. They are each other's chief competitors. :D
Hype went off the charts for me when they said surveyor. Was an instant buy when it went on sale
@@AviatorFox Heh, nice catch.
My guess he is going to run into Hamster (new Hamster species would be funny) and Captain Slow in his Journeys
That ending has such a strong classic Star Trek vibe in it. Brilliant. I love this series.
Yep, this is the “Enterprise” in Misc form.
Totally. Ironically enough, the music at the very end reminded me of the new Kelvin timeline music.
Yep, love that!
I love the R.A.F.T. footage even though they didn't do an Argo episode indicating that the ship has existed for awhile.
During that clip, the bottom left is labeled IAE 2951, which is this year. So it's still new in-verse despite being treated like B-roll footage.
The cargo refactor was suppose to be out but had to get pushed until next year. I am sure the raft was primed for the cargo refactor. They released the raft anyways since it was ready.
@@TheKinren you might be on to something, makes you wonder if they had one for the raft but canned it at the last minute?
@@trebilicious Clashes with his visibly lower age though.

Well done Space Tarkov

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the ships.”
Love it
So true.
Yeah, and clearly not about the game getting out of alpha.
Star Citizen ads are the only ads I am willing to watch anymore. Glorious!
Huge appreciation to everyone involved in these episodes. Writers, animators, mocap, voice actors, canteen staff, vending machine replenishment specialists... everyone involved in any way, many thanks. They are always good but this year's were exceptional.
Wooo! Jax is back! And the MISC Odyssey looks amazing!
Amazing
Wipes tears away, "Yeah, pretty great IAE everyone, see you next year Jimmy and Jax"
This whole series was perfect. Congrats CIG! Hire me I'll do anything.
they have a ton of openings!
They are hiring 700 staff soon. give it a go. lol.
Excellent mini series :) Those 2 have had more character development than most characters on Netflix!
AVOID COWBOY BEEPBOP... AVOID IT!!!
I'm already attached to these characters more than anyone on The Expanse.
after seeing jimmy show the vid of him and his mother a small tear escaped my dry eyes.
love to see that even in the videos that aren't about ship's the production quality is through the roof
Its going to be Jimmy that tells us the final release day for star citizen.
Been waiting for this!
EDIT: Oh that ending, sublime!
Love it, especially the "Some place like the Pyro system. I mean someplace where no one would bother me". LOL the mad lad he chooses the outlaw system full of pirates to take a sabbatical.
Pyro teaser in the end is nice
I'm not crying you're crying.
Good wholesome content ..from a space sim. Love it!
Always loved your Cinematics and will do!
Thank you for putting effort and creativity into these clips
Loved the character development of Jax this IAE.
Wholesome Episode 👍
Jax is going to Pyro! NICE!
Great Episode
It would be cool if you could run into him!. Unfortunately some players are A-holes and would want to just kill him over and over..(
Nah... they'd prob kidnap him because of a glitch or something
it really came outta nowhere the jimmy story, man that little bit got me tearing up
Since the start of this show I keep hearing jimmy's voice in my head telling me to buy the Javelin and I think I will not resist much longer...
Man, way to hit me with those feels. Not crying, just got something in my eyes while yawning when cutting these onions.
Jimmy is the kind of friend everyone needs in their lives.
Jesus we had been waiting for so long that even Whitley has age and lost his hair line lol, nice detail
I love these videos, that was was great. I kind of wish there were longer episodes that could be watched on screens in some of the bigger ships - actual in flight entertainment.
Whiteley's Guide is well produced
In Memoriam, Jax McCleary
So rescuing Jax in Pyro is gonna be a community event next year... gotcha!

@@solidicone Yep.... something of that effect came to my mind as soon as I saw this
almost teared up with the jimmy hug!
Brilliant Job CIG, been to every IAE Expo since the beginning. Have always looked forward to watching Mccleary and his antics. This topped the list for best IAE to date.
This whole series needs to be played on loop in every bar/restaurant in the game.
i hope he comes back. i love watching these
These videos are awesome! and the filmquality is superb. Good job CIG
Aww that's just sweet and I love it!
That ending! You could've totally queued the star trek theme and it would've been a perfect fit. "Let's see what's out there" Cpt. Pickard
The moment when this game make you cry you know this is the journy of your life.
One of the best things along side the game and the SC community...Jax & Jimmy...
Always a treat when I see the new Jax vid thumb on YT.
Hope to see Jax next year in Pyro!
Same, they still need to answer a question. What happens if u fire a person out of a torpedo tube?(polaris)
I kind of hope this means an ingame event where we have to rescue Jax from the pirates to get him to safety.. but then then UNLIKE in Elite:D, that no person can ruin the good ending of that story arc, while still giving the players 2 or more outcomes: barely escaped VS glorious triumph, or so.
Thats star trek old vibes at the last part dude that hits soo deep 😂
So awesome indeed.
I just realised I was smiling all along.
Jax must stay 🤨..... This expo stuff videos with jaxx is one of the best part of the game
Well, the die is cast. It's server meshing/Pyro or bust next year. Good luck CI 👍
Lol mini Jimmy wearing a helmet to XD
Wow! And that Star Trek cover. Loved it
Dang...this is getting seriously interesting to watch...not cause of the expo...but..like a properly done short story series...CR misses his director days or what? Keep it coming
Is this a hint that Odyssey is coming live next IAE?)
Pyro is coming
More interested in PYRO next year :)
This video had no business making me cry. Love this
Goddamn home run from the team that made these videos.
The last few seconds sound so star trecki 😁
Jax & Jimmy - think we just found a new drink for the verse...
TopGear 10.0! Love this!
Dayum CIG steped up their game with this years vidz
"At the end of the day, it's all about the ships".
Some ships look over complicated and seem to belong more in a world war II setting.
Some seem straight out of my favourite futuristic sci-fi novel.
I'm not naming any because I love the variety of styles. There is a ship for every roll and every person.
Drake loves WW2 grit, and Origin love the uber futuristic smooth curves lol
@@stephenjenkins7971 Spot on 👍
I hope these guys are in game and give out some crazy quests!
The end music/camera angles make me think about star trek. man so cool! keep teasing uss with pyro
Don’t wait up for me mate = Is what Star citizen release says to us every day for the past 10 years lol.
That aside, omg this episode is so good, well done CIG.
Love this! Wouldn't mind seeing more of them
With this quality they could make a movie
So they have just confirmed PYRO system will be delivered by IAE 2952....cant wait!
lmao fun spaceship game
"Say Freelancer Jimmy"
*sniff* yeah :') ... fun space ship game
That gave me goosebumps.
So torn between this years Whitley eps. Loved the back story that brings us closer to the world, but it also breaks the immersion that we were watching a show.
Either way we'll done CIG
the fact that jimmy always looked up to jack
A beautifully done scene. I think Jimmy will become the hero having to rescue Jax from Pyro next year!
Always excited to see some stories within the 'Verse. Whether it's Jimmy n' Jax or the miscreants aboard the Belligerent Duck... I'd like to see more... more often! Greedy, I know. ;)
Love these! it makes me feel more connected to the game and its devs.
Please Bring these legends back!!
These videos make the expo that much better! Good work CIG giving us characters we actually care about 😁. Hopefully one day they will actually be in game at a expo and we can go visit them and get a screenie or 2 beside them 😁
Great one! Love these videos.
this indicates 1, the odyssey will be around before IAE next year, and 2 pyro will be visitable before IAE next year. however, that is a 7 man crew ship.. and jax just took off solo..
I love the series and would love to see anthologies of the two in their daily lives.
Nice way to let us know. We will see it in pyro
Wow big things coming! Can't wait!
That was brilliant 👏
The last song sounds like a version of star trek. He is going where no man has gone before...
Jimmy is the wholesome version of Stig and i love it
"In the end, it's all about the ships."
Such true words!
Geez and then they tease us with the Pyro system which we won't see for another year... *sigh* BUT this video was well done.. A LOT of memories.
O7 Hope to see you next year, Jax. Godspeed.
I am not crying, you are crying!
This is brilliant! Glad I have the MISC Odyssey :D
Love the star trek reference at the end!
Good storyline for this season of IAE. Set up a backstory for these characters and knock it out of the park in SC.
wasn't expecting dust in my eyes
Hahahahaha. The Odyssey huh. Where did I hear that name recently. Must have been some game that came and went. Oh CIG you brilliant Devils. 😈
Great season of i Whitley's Guide! But I'm going now... it's starting to rain...
I CAME HERE FOR SHIPS NOT FOR FEELS!
See You In Pyro Hopefully Next year Jax.
I hope we see more whitleys guide when the pyro system drops. I miss this show already!!
