The Crusader INTREPID + The Medical TERRAPIN - New Ships in PTU - Star Citizen 3.24.3 Ship testing

We gained another two ships in PTU this week ahead of IAE coming later this month

and I was heading out to take a look at one of them, the Crusader Starter ship the Intrepid, and its rather unusual asymetrical design

Mom can we have ion?
We have ion at home.
Ion at home...

Honestly it is easy to fix the ship main issue… buff the weapons capacititor 3times the actual size so you can fire 45shots instead of 15 and suddenly it’s become an ok starter ship.

A friend commented "When your friend copies the wrong part of your homework" and I couldn't agree more.

[CaptWinky]

It needs a size 5 instead of the 3. That would also help balance it visually.

they're skimping on the goddamn goodies in the cupboards

[Baleur]

10:30 you were not too harsh at all...
When a full fledged ship has less firepower than a Something aint right.

I'm surprised how they dropped the ball on the Medipin when they did so well the medical Pisces. No jumpseat, no weapon racks and no bed. The free sustenance is something they can add before LIVE but the other stuff requires a redesign of the interior.

[KriLL]

I love the Medipin, though the lack of a weapon rack and jump seats is a bit weird, pretty standard features in medivac ships/ground vehicles. 1-2 folding seats would make sense to me.

3:57, that nub mirrors the one on the other side. You can see it next to the cockpit.

People often make jokes about the firepower of the intrepid. But that is foolish. There are tons of scenarios where the intrepid is a beast. For example. If you want to scare a groupd of kopians, just get a group of them. Of the intrepid. Five should be enough to really scare these space future alien dogs. But wait - there is more. You can easily light some fireworks for festivals with just a fes hits of the mighty L3 gun. There are countless opportunities. But you get the point. It is an amazing - and maybe overpowered ship. (But without jokes, I somehow like it.)

Would be fun to see the nomad against an intreped.

Congrats on getting mentored by Jarred on the SC video this week!

The Intrepid is like they mated a MSR with an Ion and then threw the unholy offspring in the dryer on high...

[ziff]

The "nub" on the starboard side next to the gun mirrors the port side. Note that one of the maneuvering thrusters is housed in these mirrored parts. You can clearly see the balance these elements provide when looking at the ship from the top.

[swytchyglytch]

If the Intrepid weren't ugly as sin and criminally under-gunned, I would say it's the perfect starter ship. Interior means a lot to me and the only "starter" with a better interior is the Syulen.

[meganix]

for the intrepid: erkul calculator says it has a size 4 weapon and quadrant shield instead of bubble, but with both I don't know if that's right. personally i still think it should have been 2 shields not one...

[Macskinny]

Congrats on getting a shout out from CIG on you going thru the jump point. I don't know why they went with this type of outer design and one size three gun and one missal, inside the ship is great and the two cargo bays. It does fit in the Polaris also.

[addermoth]

Was nice to get a shout out on ISC alongside the wonderful @citizenkate. I remember when she was just a young fledgling Commanderkate. Keep up the great work. Your vids are awesome.

3:10 - They're for 1/8th SCU size boxes, capable of carrying 4 each for a total of 8, making the ship 1 SCU cargo capacity

[Jeteye]

I think this could be a cool ship if 1 of 2 things happened. First arm the ship more. Move the gun to under the chin and either put a size 4 on the side (if the Titan can have a nose mounted size 4 this can have 1 too), lean into the Ion ascetic more, or put a missile rack there. Say 6-8 size 2's.

Or (and this would require scrapping the ships current intended purpose) scale it up a bit to about a C1, maybe a little bigger, move the guns off the side and replace it with a salvage/mining equipment. I think that design could make a real cool salvage ship or mining ship to compete with the likes of the Vulture.
