    Those aren't escape pods, those are suit/armor storage for the pilot and co-pilot. If you look at the text below the beds, you can see that the beds are themselves the escape pods.
  • @YouTubeIsAss
    Needs a buff. Larger shields, increased speed, bombs drop faster and more together.
  • @Glathgrundel
    Would be awesome if they could switch out the bombs for trooper drop pods ... automated retro thruster landings to insert soldiers (or automated turrets) into a drop zone. Bombs are of limited use, but a high altitude dropship has great potential.
  • Just signed on my A1 today! Went to Cousin Crow's, and they hooked me up with all grade A military components then flew over to Area 18 to pay a visit to Center Mass and slapped some Badgers and some Panther repeaters. Now I'm ready to head over to MicroTech and have a "warhead on forehead" extravaganza. She handles like a dream too compared to my old Aegis Avenger Titan. The A1 is a gorgeous bird! Crusader Industries just gained a life-long customer.
  • @NNextremNN
    Nice catch with the fuel port and thx for including the turret I have seen quite a few reviews that ignored that.
  • @Bald_Zeus
    2023: High precision guided bombs 900 years in the future: big green circle go brrrr
  • @lgndry_bst2242
    if anyone wondering. 2 bombs kills a landed c2. 1 bomb for any single size 3 shield or less, 2 or more size 3's might require another bomb but this is dependant on range. also if u aim ur nose perfectly down from high altitude u can use ur nose to aim the bombs unguided at high altitudes
  • Drake Cutter indeed is one of the most beautiful ships ever. Just wanted to put this here.
  • Flew this ship around last night, it flies really well and is awesome looking! I like the extra little additions like you noted, it will be nice to see those details come to other ships as well. Thanks for the video!
  • @asheglenn
    That red alert in the head is for when you destroy that toilet
  • @zeroxception
    i just get "target slection failed" when trying to target a ground spot..no circle ever appears
  • @Voidesh
    I think those glass containers next to the gun rack are suit lockers, you can see on the floor in front of the two beds the words "escape pod" which suggests you would lie down in the bed and those bunks would shoot out of the ships in a sealed container, a very comfortable way to leave your exploding vessel
  • @HighlyfeDP
    Great feedback. I picked up the A1 during ILW this year. I do not regret it. This is my new daily flyer
  • @unicaller1
    I was able to nail an NPC Cutlass at a retrieval op. Pure joy!
  • the issue of the shield is that it has four faces, similar to size 3 shields of bigger ships. This makes the shield pool hp divided to four.
  • @MrFluffyBottoms1
    They don't need toilet paper when you got the three seashells.
  • @BLACKSYNTH
    I stole one yesterday outside the Commons and had a fly about and dropped all the bombs, I was very surprised how nice it flies in atmosphere, especially Microtec very stable! Plenty fast, I like how quick it is to get in and out, I really love it and may get one for my daily driver. Interested to see the luxury version and the cargo version……. The aesthetics of it is the best ship I’ve seen to fly. Tired of staring at the back of my reclaimers Ass.
  • @ninetalesxyo8842
    I've noticed that of yesterday CIG updated the loaner ship list. All Variants of the Spirit will now have access to the A1 as a loaner ship instead of the Cutlass Black - as of 19/10/2023.
  • @ABrutalAnimal
    It's crusader, the luxury side of combat. The toilets obviously a bidet, so no need to have toilet paper, even for those messy red alert situations
