Production value of this video feels insane. Very nice.

My absolute favorite ship in the entire game is the Carrack, when i saw the zeus i fell in love, the front has the same angular design as the carrack and with it being a medium ship i can comfortably use it on a daily basis. Fantastic job on this one, well worth the wait.

[Haru-wdrh]

You gave me useful knowledge about the thing i love. You deserve my like and sub. Thank you!

[MVERICK]

Yet another epic ST video. Well done on putting this one together so quickly and with such a high quality that we have come to know and love!

The ship designers are the GOATs of CIG

Loved the video, Love the Game... only issue i had with this entire video was the Reclaimer skimming along the water and not dropping like a rocking without VTOL lol

Zeus CL? Here, take my money. That is one sexy ship!

[astromonkey]

You are extremely talented in the A-Z of video media production. Top notch. It also helps that your voice is perfectly suited for the work in addition to perfect delivery, congestion be damned.

My actual note is that while the development process description was AWESOME, you never really told us why the ships are the industry leaders. It could be argued that the story ships in other games have gone through many parallel processes, so what makes Star Citizen ships better?

For me the answer is that they are discrete objects, no loading screens, and as you stated so well functionality and more importantly physicality is increasing as well as improving. From the player perspective Star Citizen ships "feel" more like real things than any other sim yet made. It is the ineffable sum of all the parts of the development process, that also lends a uniques personality to each ship type.

I wonder if some "blind" testing could be done to compare the major space sims with ships of any substance to actually determine the state of the art. Many pretenders seem to be popping up.

You make great videos! Informativ and well done! Your voice is perfect and not to fast or to slow. Love it!

I think i'm going in on the Zeus Mk II ES - it just looks sooo good.

[cameronwallace]

I cannot help but give my appreciation for the amount of time and effort you put into you content

[sirberticus]

Damn you CIG ! I had my fleet reduced to a more reasonable number of ships Now I'm buying again

[Lisa-Azra_Broad]

Thank you, very informative and an art book.... I vote yes

[eXpG_Harlock]

It is just like with all other things in life ... nothing is as simple as it seems first.
Love the Zeus Mk2 ... loveley ship.

I really appreciate this video. It helps to know the process, especially when you're waiting on a rework.
