Hey?!? That was MY plan! 😮

I liked the ship. And actually got it for a while. Though melted it mostly cause its not even close to a release, and the mining stuff felt more like a gimmick or afterthought to not be to similar to the carrack. And the separate crew quarters feel like it was just to fill up the space. Same goes for the multileveled hangar that only can fit a small, so it would be able to take up one floor. The thing with the carrack is that it was to versatile to be outmatched, And its because the carrack has all station it needs, and it has 3 slots for different pods to customise the ship for the mission. While the customisability with the Odyssey is what ship you bring with you, or vehicles. So as it stands carrack is smaller, less of a looker, but more thought through and versatile. Still I wouldn't mind if they updated the carrack abit, having the elevator in the back go all the way down to the ground, and turn the medbay so the door faces the main elevator.

Looks like it will be an excellent ship. Can't wait to see it in game. Thank you for the video, Farrister!

@Farrister

9 ай бұрын

Oh that's an interesting idea!

I think that once the modules for the Carrack are fully realized, there will be far more of an actual competition between the two ships in terms of use cases.

This is a ship with potential to be a legitimate mobile home base for a frontier organization. One of these and maybe a few others to cover all needs could be incredible game play

With the right organization working together you could have a fleet that could act as a mobile space town with its own trade system, repair, refuel, etc everything.

Important things to note: 1) The Odyssey and Carrack don't actually compete. CIG calling it the "carrack killer" was just marketing. They do not perform the same functions. 2) The Carrack is a dedicated Pathfinder, while the Odyssey is a dedicated Expedition ship. Expedition being a sub-role under the greater umbrella of "Exploration" that implies ships would be on the frontier, in deep space, etc. A Pathfinder is a ship that charts mostly known territory, oft seeking to discover and establish new routes that maximize profit and minimize travel time. This is especially true of a Pathfinder when random jump points are spawned. 3) The Odyssey's ability to defend itself is actually quite a lot worse than the Carrack simply due to the turret locations so it's not truly a ship that is as 'self-sufficient' as the marketing material would imply. In addition to that, while you can mine hydrogen fuel, you can't actually do anything with it. The entire refueling system is internal, and self-feeding. 4) The Odyssey being significantly larger than the Carrack implies that the Carrack could quite possibly fit in Jump Points that the Odyssey is simply too large to go through, directly restricting the route options in-game as an Odyssey crew. (This is probably one of the more notable downsides of flying such a large ship. A vast majority of jump points are medium and small.)

Lol Carrack Killer. Carrack was $350 on concept c/w an Ursa and Pisces. Where as the Odyssey was $700 ship on concept. As the Refinery can only refine QT fuel, and the fuel only goes to the fuel tanks, the mining/refining game play will save on fuel costs but none of what is mined/refined is sellable. The only gameplay this ship provides is long range game play for whatever ship/vehicle is in the hanger/bay.

mining and refining is mainly so it can produce its own fuel. From its Q/A the refining can only refine fuel/hydrogen(hopefully this changes). Remeber carrack will also have modularity one day. Those cargo pods are intended to be swapable for difrent gameplay. Maybe it also gets the mining aspect as module? How carracks "repair" capabilites will be, we got to wait and see, guessing it cant be that good but better than none. Odyssey is missing some of the maping/long range capabilites the carrack got. Carrack can map/scan jump points, wich the odyssey cant. Carrack got the better long range scaners, As you say, I also think the best option would be for both those ships to travel togheter. As they are close in roles, but made for difrent tasks. Where the carrack is more specialiced, the odyssey is more for a general use kinda. with it being capable for difrent roles depending on what you bring. If it wants scaning gameplay, it can bring a terrapin with it(would not be as good as the carracks but better than the odysseys). Making it capable to bring other smaller ships that can perform the tasks it can not do itself. Just imagine if it can fit an vulture for some salavage gamplay also.

With drones, internal repair station, specialized jp scanning, armor and modularity all not in yet for the Carrack I think the Carrack will offer more but the Odyssey is pretty unique with its "off-roader" vibe and I can imagine it is just what many are looking for.

Honestly, an Odyssey MIS would be cool. get rid of the miner / refiner aspect, and replace that space with more storage, and perhaps better medical facilities. Then you could also replace the mining lasers with a chin mounted turret, perhaps with larger cannons.

I call it the "Carrack Companion". If the descriptions of the ship functions are to be believed, the Carrack will find jump points and various points of interest, and the Odyssey has the greater endurance to stay out and investigate longer with its ability to make fuel for itself and refuel the ships it carries. Could be for additional exploration (Terrapin), for mining expeditions (Prospector/On board ROCs, etc.), and more.

I have an Odyssey via a CCU chain as it feels very overpriced as warbond for what you get. We just don't know its real capabilities at the moment as it doesn't really have any strengths unlike the Carrack. The Jump Point version had dedicated exploration facilities, such as the scanning room, but in the concept sale that was replaced with an utterly pointless viewing room with a small viewing slit. The stated role as a long range self sufficient exploration ship also seems flawed as its still tied to local re-supply for food etc, has no repair facilities, resupply or proper re-fueling capability for the small ship its carrying (hand fueling only), and no dedicated scanning facilities. I do like the internal structure as feels more like a ship you could live in. Definitely not a ship I'd recommend at the price until we know more about the final ship.

The term “Carrick Killer” upon release was fairly quickly debunked with Q&A shortly after. I like the versatility of the odyssey but it won’t be as tanky or defensible as the Carrick.

At best with their berthing accommodations, you could have a port-and-starboard watch cycle with the crew hot-bunking like on submarines. But none of their ships have enough berths to accommodate a three or four-section watch cycle nor even just a regular port-and-starboard watch without having to hot bunk.

I will wait till its out and all the stuff is fully known and if I get to see one in game will help making my mind up, but at this time the Odyssey isnt for me

I think these Drydock series should be changed to show more video on the background. It doesn't even need to be of the ship being presented. It's hard to keep attention on a pp slideshow.

Yeah I've been grappling with that, the challenge as you say would be that it would be of a different ship. Maybe I'll give it a try with semi transparent footage, a bit like a projector on a wall type thing

Little too much ship for me But very cool all the same

That's fair!

I think many of these backers need to put away the Romanticism, use some common sense and realize nobody wants another day job. Its a generous gesture buying for the community, because chuck, your not buying them for yourself. Seeing these ships reach fruition solo is a plushie hugging impossible pipe dream. The BMM which so many of us have for braggin rights alone, yet its a shopping centre, now that sounds thrilling, it really does. PS: the planning, support and maintenance of the BMM will amaze many, that alone Capitals and an Orion. I myself have had to do some restructuring over this IAE, perspective was the main goal, ''foremost, buy for myself and don't become a generous benefactor to the community '', its my money im spending, my time im giving , to a game, not a good cause. If some one decides to give Capital ships to the community, so be it and god bless them.

Yup!

Mining laser was the dumbest idea they could come up with that ship.

Infinite fuel, infinite travel distance. How is that dumb? You think fuel costs will be cheap, or always accessible?

I dunno, I think it's neat. It gives some gameplay variety, and it's done to link to the purpose of exploration by extending the effective range of the ship.

it was announced as a mining platform with refinery , it pictured a prospector coming out of it and a rock coming out of the lower hanger , they changed it to mine qunt for itself only , you can not refuel anything else , it is not a miner or mobile base cause you cant refuel anything or re arm .

In the Odyssey Q&A you are able to refuel the ships it carries in the hangar via manual/on foot refueling.

Q&A says refuelling is possible, just done manually. So it could potentially host a Prospector

@@Farrister John Crewe mentions the Prospector specifically it in the Odyssey video, so I think it's a lock that it will fit. The ship and Prospector itself also conform to the hangar metrics in terms of size (Small or S2/XS), which is very cool!

Those SC prices are absolutely nonsense.

For an org this ship is kinda useless. Carrack is far superior as a scout and as a wormhole mapper and can handle all planet negative effects. On top of 3 modules that are self sustained and can be droped off as a movile base for example. On top of drones repairbay etc.
