“A stunned man in a Turtle neck and Execute disscus the Carrack Vs Odyssey and given the time to reflect does the Odyssey have a place in the game?”
In this video, the hosts discuss the viability of the MISC Odyssey against the Anvil Carrack. They start by comparing the living quarters and medical facilities of both ships, noting that the Carrack has a more luxurious setup while the Odyssey offers more individual space for crew members. Moving on to exploration capabilities, they agree that the Odyssey is better suited for planetary exploration, while the Carrack is more focused on space exploration. They also discuss the differences in VTOL capabilities and the versatility of the Odyssey’s hangar.
Next, they compare the scanning abilities of the ships, emphasizing that while both can find nebulae and wormholes, the Carrack is better equipped with specialized scanning equipment. However, they point out that the Odyssey has more potential for customization due to its hangar and vehicle bay, which can allow for various ship and vehicle combinations. They also discuss the potential for industrial gameplay with the Odyssey, speculating on its ability to refine and transport resources.
The hosts then touch on the mining aspect of the Odyssey, clarifying that it is primarily focused on mining quantanium to extend its own life. They ponder over the question of whether the Odyssey can sort through and store other resources in its refinery module, but note that this has yet to be clarified by developers. Comparing the two ships, they conclude that while the Carrack offers more exciting gameplay moments with its exploration capabilities, the Odyssey may be a more reliable money-maker due to its focused mining capabilities.
In their final thoughts, they express optimism about the Odyssey’s potential and the importance of meaningful choices between ships in the game. They suggest considering a CCU (Cross Chassis Upgrade) as an exit strategy for the Carrack if players are interested in the Odyssey. They acknowledge that there are still unanswered questions and encourage viewers to join their Discord server for further discussion. The video ends humorously with a remark about the host’s appearance with and without glasses.
