The video reveals the massive Star Citizen ship Odin, highlighting its impressive World War II-inspired design, enormous scale, and extensive retractable weaponry, which suggest a high price and a role as a large-scale, org-focused capital ship requiring many players to operate. The presenter expresses excitement about its potential for cooperative gameplay, large battles, and organizational use, anticipating significant player interest and media attention upon its release.
The video discusses the recent reveal of the Odin, a massive new ship in Star Citizen, showcased through a giant hologram projected over Area 18. Initially, the presenter was unsure about the ship due to limited information, but after seeing detailed footage and images, particularly thanks to contributions from community members like J Gunn and Zyika, the impression has shifted to awe. The Odin is enormous, dwarfing surrounding buildings, and its scale challenges previous assumptions about its size and potential price, speculated to be between $5,000 and $7,500.
The design of the Odin draws heavy inspiration from World War II battleships, particularly the USS Iowa, with a strong nautical and broadside weaponry theme. The ship features numerous large, retractable weapons including torpedo tubes and massive cannons that tuck neatly into the ship’s hull for a sleek, aerodynamic look suitable for atmospheric entry. The weaponry is described as a “floating porcupine,” with everything designed to retract and extend smoothly, adding to the ship’s impressive aesthetic and functional design.
Inside, the ship’s scale becomes even more apparent with images suggesting the size of the projectiles could be comparable to small cars, indicating the immense firepower the Odin will wield. The ship appears to be designed for large-scale cooperative gameplay, likely requiring 20 to 40 players to operate effectively, emphasizing its role as an endgame organizational asset rather than a solo vessel. The presenter expresses excitement about the potential for org-based gameplay involving the Odin, such as building space stations and coordinating large-scale battles.
The Odin also features multiple large side-facing hangars that can accommodate fighters and possibly other ships, reinforcing its role as a carrier and command ship. The bridge and external design elements continue the World War II and sci-fi blend, with a spacious captain’s observation area and numerous turrets that remain hidden until deployed. The ship’s docking ports and other functional details remain somewhat unclear, but the overall impression is of a highly detailed, functional, and visually striking capital ship.
In conclusion, the presenter is very enthusiastic about the Odin, praising its design, scale, and potential impact on gameplay. They anticipate significant media attention and player interest upon its release, predicting it will be a highly sought-after ship for organizations within Star Citizen. The video ends with the presenter eager to explore the ship further, hoping to interact with the hologram and test its scale firsthand by flying smaller ships like the Aurora near its massive weaponry.
