Drydock: CNOU Pioneer | Star Citizen 4K

I really did consider trying to join the F5 wars for this ship but in the end I held the line and kept my wallet somewhat intact.

I'm a big fan of this series of videos. It's refreshing to see a recap/update on ships that have gone dark for years. Thank you.

I like the idea of a small organization or I guess a company that is just 8 people and a Pioneer, and they are basically construction contractors who get contracted by individuals or other organizations to go to a location and build whatever it is the customer needs. So, for them base building is a full gameplay loop and not just a one-off thing, and they get to see all of the cool scenic locations that different people have selected for their outposts on a bunch of planets and moons. It would be a pretty chill RP experience, and likely relatively profitable.

Imagine how cool base building beams are gonna be! What color/effect do you imagine they'll use?

After CITCON, when I saw the basebuilding trailer, I immediately went and picked this beauty out of my buybacks.

We really need more from Consolidated. I really want to see what their competitor to the Constellation would look like. Or maybe their take on some kind of Military-esque style capital ship. We have so many Aegis, Anvil, and RSI ships. It's time to see something from Consolidated

Really enjoy these Drydock videos! Would love to see updates on some of the older ones in the future as we do get new information, not only on just the ship but also aspects that have been updated that could relate to ships

I purchased one of these and have been waiting almost patiently for it to arrive in game. As the game has changed, base building is one thing that I am still excited about. That and flying around in my Connie.

9.5/10 on the Silas Koerner impersonation. 😁👍

As with every new asset or game loop... I seriously hope CIG has at least thought the basics of this through. They need to make sure that one can create bases that can be owned by someone else. Not to put too fine a point on it, they need to make sure that the owner of the land can assign both permanent and temporary access to their land for personnel and objects so that they don't have to own one of these. They should be able to hire someone. Now you might think that this is obvious and "of course they would have thought of it". Problem is that they don't have a track record of recognizing this currently and they probably should have addressed this years ago when they introduced the 890 jump and Carrack. They need to allow the ship to be brought into the world by the owner and then utilized by others without disappearing just because the owner logged off. Anyway... thanks for this informative take on the Pioneer Farrister. Always a pleasure to see your content.

You neglected to mention the historic kerfuffle that erupted when they also sold Land Claim Licenses with and without the ship. 😁😆🤣

The main thing I've wanted for Pioneer gameplay is the ability for this ship to sit offsite and deploy work packages to the final location. This would be good work for an Argo SRV, but my reasoning for wanting this is that the ideal base location will often be somewhere the Pioneer won't comfortably fit. My examples have been mountain top bases, a small island in a lake, or similarly tucked into awkward spots. Furthermore, should one wish to repair or expand a base, bringing back a Pioneer and having to land it directly over existing structures will likely be impractical or destructive.

So overwhelmingly excited for base building! Don’t know what the limits will be but imagine ur organizations settlements slowly merging into a city or even taking over the entire planet?! Wow! 😮

I wonder how the Galaxy with the base building module will compare? Thanks for another great video, Farrister!

I can’t even imagine what this thing will be like in the verse. Hopefully we get to see it.

I would love to see a heavy cargo variant of this boy

Great video 🎉 looking forward to org gameplay with this ship at the center

Given how difficult it will be to handle big ships solo, and that base building won't be exclusive for this ship, just the bigger builds, I have stopped wanting one (but I cheer on everyone that has it!) as I will have medium ships that will probably be able to put a small hab anywhere.

Thanks for another nice video. I was tempted this year to get the Pioneer, but I ended up spent a small fortune buying a lot of other ships, including the Galaxy, and figured I can wait until next year's IAE to see if the price is the same and to replenish my wallet.

I went for the Galaxy as I think that will be out before the pioneer . I hope they will let you QT to a home base marker
