In the video, the hosts review the Starlancer Max from Star Citizen, noting its appealing design but highlighting shortcomings in functionality and cargo capacity, which leads to disappointment among potential buyers. They compare it unfavorably to other ships in the game, suggesting it lacks a distinct niche and may be overshadowed by upcoming releases.
In the video, the hosts discuss the Starlancer Max, a ship from the popular game Star Citizen, as part of their review following CitizenCon. They express their initial impressions and share insights gathered from conversations with other players. The Starlancer Max is presented as a ship that, while visually appealing and well-designed, falls short of expectations in terms of functionality and cargo capacity. The hosts emphasize that the ship feels more like a standard Styan rather than a “Max” variant, leading to some disappointment among potential buyers.
The hosts highlight the ship’s cargo bay, which is designed to accommodate 232 cargo canisters. However, they note that the layout is inefficient, as the cargo grid is limited to the far left and right sides, leaving a large central space that feels underutilized. They suggest that more cargo storage options could have been included to justify the “Max” designation. The discussion also touches on the accessibility of the cargo area, as the door size limits the transfer of larger containers, further reducing the ship’s versatility.
Visually, the Starlancer Max is praised for its aesthetic design, showcasing the maturation of the Misk brand. The hosts appreciate the ship’s artistic elements, such as the updated turret design, but reiterate that their concerns primarily lie with its functionality rather than its appearance. They also mention the ship’s living quarters, which they find to be overly spacious and filled with unnecessary features, such as large double beds, instead of more practical storage or cargo space.
As the conversation progresses, the hosts compare the Starlancer Max to other ships in the game, such as the Hull B and the Reclaimer, which offer better cargo capacity and functionality. They argue that the Starlancer Max tries to be a jack-of-all-trades but ultimately does not excel in any specific area. The hosts suggest that the ship’s niche appeal may not be enough to make it stand out among the competition, especially with the upcoming release of the Raelan, which they believe will overshadow the Starlancer Max.
In conclusion, the hosts invite viewers to share their opinions on the Starlancer Max in the comments, encouraging discussion about its merits and drawbacks. They express gratitude to their guest, Alex, for providing access to his ship for the review.
