The video introduces the Crusader Spirit C1 as a versatile alternative to the Cutlass Black or Freelancer in Star Citizen. It showcases the ship’s interior, components, cargo capacity, and multirole capabilities, while also seeking viewer opinions and expressing gratitude for support.
The video discusses the Crusader Spirit C1, an alternative ship to the Cutlass Black or Freelancer in Star Citizen. The C1 has cargo capacity and is multirole, potentially replacing the Cutlass Black as a daily driver. It has a wide and long profile, making it an easier target to shoot at from certain angles. The ship features a lot of weaponry, including a tractor beam added in the 3.21.1 patch. While ship-scale tractor beams are still being refined, they are functional on many ships, including the Spirit C1.
The interior of the ship is shown, featuring a pilot seat, co-pilot seat, and a view of the tractor beam from the co-pilot’s position. There are also beds for the crew, storage, a kitchenette, and combined toilet and shower. The ship has suit lockers for storing armor and EV suits. The ship’s components, like the radar avionics and gravity generator, are showcased, although the resource management system and physicalized components are still being developed. The cargo bay is reasonably sized, capable of fitting a small vehicle, and there are additional components like batteries, jump drives, and shields in the rear of the ship.
The video highlights that the Spirit C1 is comparable in size to the Freelancer and Cutlass, contrary to what the presenter initially thought. It has around 48 SCU of cargo space, which feels spacious and allows for the transportation of vehicles. The ship is suited for various roles, competing with ships like the Zeus, Freelancer, Cutlass, and smaller options like the A1 and E1. The video concludes by mentioning the ongoing ship choices available in Star Citizen and asks for viewer preferences on the Spirit C1, as well as their thoughts on other ships. The video also mentions a ship giveaway and expresses gratitude for the support received on Patreon and as channel members.
