The Anvil Odin battle cruiser is a massive, heavily armed capital ship in Star Citizen designed for large multi-crew operations, featuring extensive weaponry, defensive systems, and onboard facilities to support up to 65 crew members, emphasizing tactical and raid-style gameplay. Currently a high-priced concept ship available only to select buyers, it promises a complex endgame experience while the video also promotes the Toby Eye Tracker 5 and a monthly ship giveaway to engage viewers.
The Anvil Odin battle cruiser, recently revealed by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG), is an immense and heavily armed capital ship designed for endgame multi-crew gameplay in Star Citizen. Classified as a battle cruiser, it combines battleship-level weaponry with the speed of a cruiser but sacrifices some armor. The ship is massive, measuring approximately 750 meters in length, making it the largest Anvil ship ever sold. It requires a substantial crew to operate effectively—around 33 at minimum, with full operation needing upwards of 65 personnel, including engineers, pilots, and security, emphasizing the ship’s role as a complex, raid-style experience.
The Odin is heavily armed with bespoke, mostly retractable weaponry, featuring two enormous size 12 triple-barreled ballistic turrets, multiple size 10 and size 8 cannons (both manned and remote), and a massive front beam weapon with 12 laser emitters. It also boasts an impressive arsenal of 20 vertical-launch size 12 torpedo tubes with a conveyor system for reloading. Defensively, the ship is equipped with around 43 point defense turrets distributed in clusters, combining flak and gatling weapons to protect against incoming threats. The design encourages tactical gameplay where attackers must strategically dismantle the ship’s defenses.
The Odin includes extensive onboard facilities and infrastructure to support its large crew and fleet operations. It has six small hangars and one medium hangar for storing and maintaining various smaller ships, with a tram system running throughout the ship to facilitate crew movement across its vast interior. The ship features numerous amenities such as crew quarters, executive offices, a mess hall with a potential cantina and greenhouse, hospital, armory, gym, and even a panic room. Command and control are centralized in a heavily armored conning tower with a large bridge, tactical planning rooms, and private retractable pods for confidential discussions.
Currently, the Odin is available only to Odin Founders Club members as a concept ship, with a price tag around $5,000, making it a significant investment. While it is not yet flyable and remains in concept stage, CIG plans to sell it again in future events like the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo and Fleet Weeks. Buyers receive an Idris P as a loaner ship in the meantime. The ship is designed for large organizations due to its complexity and crew requirements, and solo operation is not feasible. Future AI advancements may reduce crew needs, but the Odin remains a pinnacle of multi-crew capital ship gameplay.
In addition to the Odin details, the video promotes the Toby Eye Tracker 5, a device enhancing immersion and situational awareness in Star Citizen by enabling precise head and eye tracking. The tracker is on sale with a discount and sweepstakes opportunity. The creator also announces a monthly ship giveaway featuring two different ships with lifetime insurance, encouraging viewer engagement through comments. The video concludes with thanks to supporters and an invitation to join the channel community for ongoing Star Citizen content.
