The video explores the immense size of Star Citizen’s $5,000 Anvil Odin ship by comparing it to various well-known vessels and space stations within the game, highlighting its colossal scale. It also showcases a community-developed tool for visualizing ship sizes and encourages viewers to experience these comparisons themselves, celebrating the vast and detailed universe of Star Citizen.
The video discusses the newly revealed Anvil Odin, one of the most expensive ships in Star Citizen, priced at $5,000 in war bonds or $5,900 in store credit. The main focus is on understanding the actual size of the Odin compared to other ships in the game. While concept art and pictures provide some idea, the presenter emphasizes the importance of seeing the Odin alongside familiar ships to grasp its massive scale. The video features a lineup of various well-known ships such as the Polaris, Idris, Bengal, and others to provide a clear size comparison.
Starting with the player’s biggest ship, the Ironclad Assault, the presenter humorously points out how small it looks next to the Odin. The Idris M, once considered a massive vessel, also appears tiny beside the Odin. The Bengal, which is craftable in-game, is larger and thicker than many ships but still dwarfed by the Odin. Other ships like the Orion, Javelin, Kraken, and Mole are also compared, with the Odin towering over them significantly, highlighting just how enormous it is.
The video also touches on some rare and lore-heavy ships such as the Retribution, which is stated to be the largest ship in the Star Citizen universe but is unlikely to be available in-game. The Banu Merchantman, a ship not currently purchasable, is also compared and found to be somewhat comparable in size to the Odin, though still smaller. The presenter includes smaller ships like the Pitbull and the Galaxy for contrast, showing the vast range of ship sizes within the game.
In addition to ships, the video briefly mentions space stations like the Pioneer and other lore ships like the Pegasus, an escort carrier featured in Squadron 42. The presenter acknowledges the contributions of the Star Citizen community, especially Starjump Grim, who developed the hanger.link website used for these size comparisons. This tool allows players to visualize and compare their fleets, enhancing the understanding of ship scales in the game.
The video concludes by encouraging viewers to try out the size comparisons themselves using the provided link and to share their own experiences with their largest ships compared to the Odin. The presenter expresses excitement about the scale and depth of Star Citizen, inviting the community to appreciate the game’s vast universe and the impressive size of the Anvil Odin. The video ends with a sign-off and a reminder of the ongoing development and upcoming content in the game.
