I was struggling to remember all of the ships CIG still have in the pipeline - so I figured maybe some of you were too! Also it gave me a great excuse to dive into CIG's concept art section.

My referral code for some extra starting cash: STAR-MY2H-6P9B

I've used the fantastic ship viewer from Starship42 to track these along with CIG's concept art - use this awesome website to build your own fleets: www.starship42.com/

    Great video! The liberator for me is going to be my 'carryall' dune style as a mining operation platform to allow a team to find and mine multiple types of minable (ROC and prospector) while also being a safe space to refuel, repair, offload ore to transport and carry necessary supplies.

    Man, i love these kinds of video, the old concepts still have that charm that catch our imagination, considering, we are seeing how the game is progressing, and how far away some of these ships might be, but it's really great to look and talk about these concepts, to me the Genesis Starliner is one i'm really eager to see in game with the mechanics of passenger flights working, but there are so many cool ship that honestly most of them gets me excited for the future.
  • Chris HIMSELF said this: Do you all remember the AEGIS Nautilus event in Frankfurt/Germany in August 2019? I had the chance to ask Chris Roberts himself exactly the OP's question and he took the time to answer me: The Javelin will definitely come fully equipped, weapons included. Whether the components are civilian, industrial or the weakest military ones, he didn't know. The balance team didn't make any proposals to him. He confirmed that Javelin will not be delivered as an "empty hull"!

    The Lightning is my very favorite ship design in the game so far. I can't wait to get my hands on one!
  • @tanggang6824
    I can’t wait for the day I get my hands on the merchantman I might cry haha
  • @afradwright
    Having the Entrepreneur pack there’s a few of the smaller ships looking like they’re getting closer to release. Funny, a lot of talk about the Hull A and C but nothing about the B, which according to its roadmap status is the same as the A, so fingers crossed. Be great to see the Vulture and Vulcan as well in due course
  • I really enjoyed this video! The background music was amazing and I'm excited for these new ships and future gameplay mechanics SC will have. Also I wanted to state that size does matter when it comes to cargo hauling and other activities ;)
  • @DennDaniel
    Great video Guns! I was a wonderful update of pulling all the current data together. Thank you for your hard work!
  • @IMPCGaming
    That was good. Nice video there as I haven't been keeping track of those ships. Thanks.
  • Thanks for mentioning the tumbril bikes!!! That's what I always ask about and never hear ANYONE talk about them.
  • just got into the game but wow im really looking forward to some of the concepts here, great video.

    I personally like the Odyssey more than the carrack, however both ships have pretty different roles in my opinion. A carrack is meant to be an exploration/scanning ship, most likely to scan for POI's like jump points, mining claims, etc and sell them in order to make a living. The Odyssey on the other hand is built to be more like a super long range FOB building with it's ability to mine for more fuel, haul a hefty amount of cargo, refuel , refine, and carry more vehicles than the Odyssey which makes me think it'll be used for more dedicated "exploration" rather than the Carrack's more scan n' sell profession.

    Thank you for this roundup, I already forgot some of those ships)

    From previous statements by CIG i am pretty sure that AI-Slaving the Scorpius Turret will allow for front-facing pilot controlled fire only. So youre loosing the rear turret which i can actually see as beeing immensly useful in hectic fights.

    Cracking Vid LG and plenty of information in there I was unaware of. Strikes me that for future ship events like IAE we are going to have to fly into orbit to see some of these ships as they are sooo big or as per description, unable to land planet side.
  • @indivestor
    Awesome video - awesome presentation and awesome voice.
  • @citizeninja
    I'm really looking forward to a bunch of the concept ships you covered, especially since half of my fleet are concepts, but also the F7A Hornet, just for its more aerodynamic front air vents. I like my Hornet a lot, but those big rectangular air vents look too old-school, like 1970's old-school.
  • @S1leNtRIP
    Great stuff. I love the Anvil Liberator…if I hadn’t already topped out at the Polaris I would’ve been very tempted to grab it!
  • @firstjayjay
    Amazing that a 6month old video is still basically up to date with the game.
