@@tmonk. It's because selling ships is the business model. It's by far the number 1 source of income. It's kind of a trap : cashflow and cashflow forecast of the company are available online, they are consistently low on cashflow, thus creating a loop in which they need more ships to sell, dedicating most ressources into what makes money. I do not think it's a scam, I think it's a terrible management, which is likely incredibly difficult to handle in the first place given the business model. My thoughts is that Chris Roberts got lost into it, possibly micromanaging too much, and after 10 years ( well over 10 years for him, he raised his first millions with a pre version of the game ) he likely needs someone who has a higher view of things, and put boundaries to this project, before it collapses on itself. With all due respect to Chris Roberts who has built a company that has achieved technical breakthroughs in an industry so boring and barely innovating, I do believe that more cold logic of a producer approach, and less creativity all over the place, is the only thing that can bring the game into a final form. Or, let's call it what it is : a project never meant to be achieved, like a huge prototype, and not expect or entertain expectations, of something else.

the interior of the engine room is too dark, as a mechanic, I'd want it to be brightly lit to carry out work, just like the engine room of a ship, same goes for repair room with the workbench.

But the first one's too much into military again, the latter too expensive for being in the "luxury"-segment. The constellation COULD be such a ship - with a bit of modification and if you'd replace the fighter with an actual shuttle/small transport craft, but that'd take quite some rework...

@ltmuffler3482

4 жыл бұрын

@RAYfighter You say that, but if repair gameplay requires as much micromanaging as mining does, and potentially requires being able to clearly see the component, you're gonna rethink your opinion. I'm training to be an aircraft mechanic, and while I enjoy mood lighting a LOT, I do NOT enjoy dark hangars. Having a well lit work area not only improves your ability to do the job correctly, but it is also significantly more calming. The more lit up, the more comfortable you are working in that space. Neon lights are also a big fat no no in the work place. Neon does not give acceptable work lighting. I can get behind work station specific toggle-able lighting, but not neon. There is a point where "mood" stops being cool because it actively clashes with practicality. Then, it becomes "frustrating" and "annoying".

Having served in the US Navy I have a unique take on the manning of the vessel. The best manning for the vessel would be a minimum crew of 20. Captain, Executive Officer, Chief Engineer and 3 engineers, Weapons Officer and 4 Gunners, Communications Officer, Navigator and Quartermaster, 4 Pilots, and the Chief Medical Officer and Corpsman. A cook could be added to the crew for long deployments and times "at sea." The general quarters stations would have the CO, XO, and NAV at the round table on the upper command deck flanked by the COMMO, and WEPS in the chairs with MFD's. Pilot 3 would be at the upper control with Pilots 1 and 2 being on the lower command deck with direct control of maneuvering and the fixed mounted weapons. In the 3rd seat on the lower command deck would be the Quartermaster to provide direct aid to Pilot 1. Pilot 4 would be a standby or a fighter pilot if the ship was carrying a fighter. The gunners would be in their turrets, Doc and the Corpsman in the Infirmary, and CHENG and their engineers in the engine rooms and other component areas. Other crewmembers like a Loadmaster and company and Cook +1 could be added depending on the length of time deployed and missions being carried out.

An aerospace engineer review of an architect review :). A lot of the things said I agree with, mainly the open elevators, the engineering deck, the empty cartography deck and it's overall completeness. A few things I want to add. The rear elevator should go all the way down via a Connie style elevator/airlock combi. It makes no sense to depressurize an entire garage each time you go out. Also if you suit up in the armory, you have to hope the cargo pods are attached so you only have to walk over one complete deck to get to the exit. Making the rear elevator a second exit point would make a lot of sense. The round engines completely makes sense as an engineer, as a round shape helps a lot with things like even stress and heat distribution. Something I expected you as an architect to mention are the bars in front of the windows of the drone bay. They look out of place compared to the rest of the ship. Something you didnt mention as well is the escape pod placement. Each working station has quick access to their own escape pods, except for the poor engineers. All in all another great video, thanks.

Something I feel is missing from this ship is a dedicated science lab/area. The med bay is amazing, but because this is an exploration class ship, it should have a dedicated science area.

I've never seen a functional workshop without good bright lighting to work on items. I feel a couch would work in the captains quarters, as well as variable lighting in the habitation deck. I find it's still a little on the dark side. There should be an option to brighten it up similar to the med bay, and then tone it down at night etc. (We, the people, demand light switches! lol)

Now see if they are thinking of making replacement modules for the cargo pods, I could totally jump onboard with that. I would love to see science/research/bio pods in the cargo bays. Makes me think back to Nelix's garden? lol. The one thing, and sadly it's purely esthetics, is more lighting control. Heck we have that now where most good light bulbs can change colors and brightness with a phone... I'm sure in this timeline we would be advanced enough where every light source can be controlled completely, but at the very least have a couple lighting modes. The current ship lighting is always very cinematic, but not exactly useful. The Carrack after a short while would start to feel very dark and depressing, not calming. The windows are surprisingly small, so the chances of bright clear light entering the cabin is very slim on a long journey. The ship feels like it's constantly in a "battle-ready" mode, which is typical of an ex-military ship according to lore, but even military ships in our age are very well lit for functionality... It's only in the movies where they are lit like they belong on a Batman set.

Electronic warfare is a huge component of modern military operations, seeing that reflected in SC would be cool.

A pleasant walk through, and I generally agree. There are some points that aren't addressed, as follows: 1. The ramp's inflexibility of position makes it difficult to know if you have a problem with onloading before it's too late. 2. The airlock to the Med Bay is fine--you mention its utility in aiding with bring on an infected crewmember or dangerous sample, but you have to haul it through a good portion of the ship to get there! 3. The number of useless and futile indicators, monitors, unusable storage spaces, and other geegaws that serve no function other than to remind the viewer of the complexities and nuances that are missing. 4. The distance between the racks and the heads shows no consideration for wakeup priorities. Because when I wake up, the first thing I do is shower. Oh. Wait. No. It's that other thing. 5. What, the Captain gets a twin rack? How inconsiderate to the people that might visit the Captain's quarters! At least a double. 6. On Deck 3, the use of red lighting instinctively signals that something is wrong, or that the ship is in silent running/combat stations. I don't know if that's a good idea. 7. The decision to make both entries to the hangar on the same side--and that being the side most distant from the bridge--is a design flaw. A single hatch on the fore and aft bulkheads would be superior for better access. 8. A Bitchin' Seat for the Captain on the Command Deck would be nice.

I'll never own an Anvil Carrack, cuz it's too big for me to own. I like smaller, more "personal" ships. But I'd love to be a part of its crew - Carrack's interior is the best so far in the game. But still I have a few problems with it: 1. Was mentioned in this video - secondary elevator is not isolated, so if 1 deck gets depressurized, the 2 other will also. IMO, it is unacceptable for an ex-military ship to have such a MAJOR flaw. 2. Also mentioned in this video - no way to get to 4th deck if elevator dies. Smaller, but still a major flaw - top deck, from what I understand, is suppose to be ship's "senses system". All scanner data is gathered, filtered and relayed by it to relative posts in the rest of the ship. So it need to be accessible at all times. 3. Medical bay, IMHO, should be either facing elevator OR, even better, have access from both sides. One of the side walks around it may even be sacrificed to make the med-bay bigger. 4. Main elevator does not extend outside the ship and can't be used to enter/exit the ship. I think it's a big issue, because if any of cargo pods get dropped or damaged, crew will be forced to use front vehicle bay to enter/exit. If they don't want to walk on, completely open to space/atmosphere, catwalks outside the ship, of course. And they'll need to use 2 elevators to get there from armory! Big oof. BUT, not having a direct access to armory from outside the ship is understandable for an ex-military ship. They could re-do it during the conversion into civilian ship, but that's more work, so ok, understandable. 5. These damn removable screens in captain's quarters. I'm convinced that it's another left-over from ship's military past. They look hella durable, but so tiny and "cheap". Yack But even with all these problems, IMO, this ship is much more believable, much more comfortable to work in than any other, even "luxury ships" (oh. man, I have so many problems with them).

This ship requires 4 more beds and an elevator entrance. Also, it would be awesome if the cartography room had automatic shutter windows that open and close when you turn the carthgraphy table on or off. Some areas feel a bit empty and sterile, like the recreation room with that space pool and the workshop, I feel like they could add a little more stuff to those areas to make them feel more alive and used.

Really appreciate the effort you've gone to present the ship in such a cinematic way.

Leaving the wip module behind and judging the Carrack on its own merits I think it’s fantastic. It may have lost the avian bird of prey look, but it grows on you. It really is a stunning ship that has developed well and become a true hero ship.

Along with the changes you've already mentioned I'd prefer it if they made the main elevator go all the way to ground level so that you don't always have to use the ramp as an entrance when landed. Making the ventral turret remote controlled like the dorsal turret could also save space while making the other crew station on the upper bridge more useful. A control panel to operate the hanger from inside it would be great too so you don't have to ventilate most of the tech deck if you dont have someone to operate the main panel for the shuttle crew.

mmh. Lots of the bigger ships have clear engineering spaces though. The 890 jump definitely has some kind of engine access inside. The 600i, while not the engines, has almost all of it's components in two dedicated rooms either side. (Really, one of my complaints with the design is how hard it is to get to and from the crew deck to the rear) You can't technically get at the engines from inside though Smaller ships seem to just have stuff spread all over.

Loved that last shot of it turning towards the sun.

Carrack has been my favourite ship since the first time I laid eyes on it, and a dream ship of mine ever since. I'd never seen the concept art for it, which I must admit looks quite interesting, and I think could be adapted for a NEW Anvil explorer type ship, that's a little smaller and sleeker - the Idris or Polaris to the Carrack's Javelin. Overall it seems incredibly well designed, and the space is a nice in-between of brutalist space efficiency like in navy ships of today, and a liveable space that an exploration team can call home. I gotta agree with everything you said here Morph, particularly on how the bridge seems to have been designed with greater length in mind (potentially allowing a larger side-view as well), and the lack of separation of areas that could become depressurized, but I'd like to add one major point - there are not NEARLY enough bunks in this ship right now! I'll speak firstly from a realistic standpoint, leaning on experience with navy ships' crew sizes, specifically offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). Judging by the size of the ship itself, the size of the bridge, the likely necessity in a ship this size of having an ever-present engineer (meaning two on board), the drone stations, cartography area, med bay, AND the presence of a bay for the C8 Pisces (surprised not to see that shown off here...) this ship should support a crew of 12 to even 16! A captain of course, as well as at least one officer/first mate to perform duties while the captain is asleep, as well as commanding a ground team using the two vehicles plus perhaps coordinating the C8 as well (perhaps piloting it and acting as a forward-observer). A pilot and two navigators, plus the two remaining crew stations in the bridge which would likely serve as comms/systems operator roles (only one of which really requires being filled at all times). Add in at least one medical officer if not two to take shifts, and we're already up to nine, without even factoring in the two drone operators and two engineers, likely a dedicated cartographer/scientist (I'm thinking Professor Anders from the UNSC Spirit of Fire), and with all these people on board you might even need a dedicated cook. That's fifteen, almost three times what the ship currently allows for, and that would make the decks feel a lot more alive, while I feel like with six personnel only, you might go a substantial period of time not even seeing your fellow crew on such a large ship. For comparison, the 80m long, 1,640 tonne Arafura Class OPV has a crew of 40, but can accommodate up to 60 if necessary! Now, because this is a game, we can knock off a few of those points of course - dedicated comms/systems operators won't be necessary, neither will a dedicated medical officer or researcher/scientist/cartographer. That’s realistic stuff we just don’t have to worry about (though I would argue that immersion should govern ship design more than gameplay requirement) One engineer would be fine, as would one navigator, both of which can double as drone operators or vehicle pilots. Take out the cook, and we're down to seven people necessary just to even fill all the ship's roles, and even then we're disregarding the idea of shifts, and whether or not you want to retain full capability while the two ground vehicles and C8 are out on deployment (those turrets need manning, and can the drones also serve a light combat role??). Overall I'd hope to see fourteen to eighteen bunks PLUS a captain's and officer's quarters on a ship of this size, especially when even the Freelancer has four for god's sake!! (Side note: Why tf does the Freelancer need four crew stations/bunks..??)

I love how when he is analyzing the captains office he says there’s a lot of storage to store your nik nax’s not knowing that now Star Citizen calls their inventory system nik nax’s

12:25 enter, the MRCN Tachi I think the Carrack exterior is MUCH nicer than the original concept. But i also think YOUR slimmed version, is much nicer than the current model. Amazing how just a few centimeters of tightened up lines, can make the whole ship feel slimmer.

Thank you for all of your very in-depth analysis of these vessels. What makes your videos great is your constant honesty about your current topic. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but, it's truly refreshing getting the honest perspective of someone who has actually played and understood the game. I enjoy watching your vids either way because it shows that you care. Thanks again and I look forward to the future of Star Citizen and your unique perspective of the verse.

I have waited so patiently, thank you, I will continue to love your content. Your gait is perfect, your voice is buttery, and your ideas and word choices are divine. I hope you continue to make content for the foreseeable future. The exquisite quality of your videos and the consistency of that quality through out, makes your videos a treat to watch. You show a perfect "less is more" attitude, to editing with the calm fade out cuts to different areas and a smooth ambaint music in the background. I honestly dont think I ever would have developed the intense love for star citizen, had it not been for your videos. I followed it with vague interest but you where the one who changed that. You're doing amazing work, and I hope you love and that work you do, as much people like me love viewing and enjoying it. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for the future. Bye

I get an incredibly gleeful feeling when I realize that, as a general fan of architecture, I have learned more about architectural design and philosophy from some guy on KZread reviewing fictional video game space ships than I have anywhere else in my life.

I like the ship, it's one of my favorites for sure. I agree that the exterior profile of it doesn't seem intimidating or sleek. I always see a lizard with a fat body and small head. If they could get it to lose some weight it would be damn near perfect. I'm considering selling mine though and just working for it in-game.

Captain's quarters needs some adjustments. The toilet should be consolidated into a shower/toilet combo to save space. Everything could be shifted toward the front, making space for a couch in the main area. Then the captain's bed could be made into a double.

Yes the round engines were also annyoing it would look perfect with thrusters like the pisces. But the rest is awesome.

Amazing video! The Carrack looks like an obese TIE fighter, and there's a lot of wasted space inside. I hope that CIG will some day learn, that we don't need half of the ship for walking spaces. One could easily add 2 rooms per deck or make the existing rooms more comfortable or bigger by just trimming down the gigantic hallways, which sometimes even fork into two frikkin hallways. These ships are bigger than the medium ships, but they are still not huge and don't justify throwing valuable space out the window. Space in space, especially on exploration vessels, is worth gold.

In many cases, spacecrafts would be tighter and simply going a bit sideways would dramatically reduce the need for large hallways, unless you're transporting really big things of course. Anyway like I said, how hard would it be to make the tech to be able to move past each other... it would be very usefull in crowds as well. I think Assassains Creed has something like that iirc. For me it's kind of immersion breaking, with ships like the hammerhead essentially being one long loop of corridors, it doesn't feel like a logical craft for me, personally. What's worse is that CIG puts components so close together that maintenance essentially becomes very easy - IRL that's handy, in a game that's just less diversity. A game like SoT has you running all over, patching canon ball holes, the moving about makes it more interesting. But in a carrack you just put someone in the engine room, and yeah... they can just sorta hang out indefinetly during combat.

Onto the budged: I agree that different AAA games had a lower budged. But those AAA Titles were on a much smaller scale. SC is trying something noone has before and I give them a lot of respect for it. They improved the game a lot over the past year.
