I want them to make the Bengal available, imagine a crew of hundreds of people or even a thousand, like a whole faction and the ship is never empty no matter at what time you connect you'll find crewmates. This would be the best gaming experience ever.

The pioneer is BY FAR the one I’m most excited for. Just to see how they eventually get the whole damn thing working. I want to see it spitting out bases!

I'd definitely agree with you about the ARGO capital refinery ship, I love their style and focus and a larger ship from them would neatly fill several existing niches.

*RSI has the Pegasus and I believe it’s categorized as a light carrier. I also think it was white boxed. So there’s a possibility we’ll see it later in SQD 42 and further down the road in the PU.*

Anvil already has a lot of things that can be used during ground assault, like the Atlas line, the Valk, the Liberator etc. What I'd love to see is that Anvil puts a crown on that style and making Anvil and Aegis more different in the sense that Aegis is more space based and aggressive and Anvil is more defensive and ground based to show that this new main military is there to protect the people and planets of the UEE. So I'd love to see a planetary assault carrier. This ship features a large cannon array that can be used from orbit to blast positions on the ground. It has capability for Valks to land on it, room for lots of troops and cargo and can land to bring the armored first of Spartans, Ballistas and Centurions to bear with along with Novas. And the crowning feature: Drop pods than can launch cargo drops or infamtry (including Titan suits) to the ground below it, sending the force inside to a location previously bombarded, landing and directly deploying. Meanwhile Valks make their way down and when the landing zone's secured the carrier itself comes down and acts as an HQ for the operation. Now this is pure insanity and just really just a fun idea for me. It isn't realistic for the game at all and would probably never show it's face. Still though, if there is an Anvil capital ship some day I'd love to see a lot of manufacturer synergy (Valk needs and update to carry an Atlas vic btw) and the stuff I mentioned before about Anvil's identity much more being that of a shield

Thanks for the nice summary. Under your definition the Odyssey would also be a capital ship with it's capital(Power Plant, Cooler and Shield Generator). I don't see it as a Capital ship however since it's more in the ship class of the Carrack.

The Misc Odyssey is considered a capital ship with its three capital size components and large Radar. It will be a great ship for exploration.

Amazing video, wonderful pace and info. Your relaxed voice over was super easy to listen to for 42mins; subscribed

Thank you for the video. Had stopped paying attention to a number of the capital ships, so good to get a refresher.

I love thinking about these massive ships out in the PU, flying beside a bengal crewed by your org is going to be a really special feeling, great vid!

Loved the video! Really interesting hearing your takes on the different manufacturers and where gaps lie in the available ship classes. This is the first of your videos I've seen but I will be checking out more for sure!

One day I will get to fly my merchantman

I hadn't realized how many cap ships they already had lined up. Nice video

For combat, the game is missing a dedicated dreadnaught/battleship/battlecruiser. The Javelin is a destroyer, the Idris and Bengal are both carriers. Granted, the Bengal is sort of multirole with the huge bottom turret. But I'd still argue we don't have a proper dreadnaught/battleship/battlecruiser concept. Some ship that's the size of the Bengal, with even more focus on just armor and guns. Like you know the bottom turret of Bengal? Slap on two turrets of that size on the bottom and two on the top. Fill the sides with turrets that have 4xS7 guns, and sprinkle in a few dozen point defense automatic gatling and missile turrets. I want to see the barrage of firepower from all 4 guns doing a naval dreadnaught bombardment, while the huge amount of S7 guns just rain down constant sprays of rounds. It would be glorious, if only as an endgame PvE combat challenge for huge orgs, or for random players to take part in as a dynamic event.

Thanks you for this. As a new player I found this not only edifying, but entertaining. Please keep up the good work.

Great video, love the explanations, also I agree we need something like the Perseus but bigger and able to board the enemy with. Capital ships should be able to board each other without too much difficulty, especially since CIG has said they want more bigger ships to get "disabled" and less blowing up in major explosions.

Great video Loud. Thanks for taking the time to bring these kinds of videos to us.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, really enjoyed this one! A lot of valuable info event though CIG doesn't have all the answers we want yet. I totally agree with you on the ship lineup needing to have another carrier and a capital size refinery. You brought very valid points. Keep up the good work!

This was super great to watch with a coffee during quantum jumps this morning. Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming!

Incredible video! Your depth of knowledge about this game is truly impressive.

The polaris is one of my favorites capital ships. Thanks for this video about the CS.

When capital ships are in the game AND purchasable ingame, that will mark a huge change in not just how we play SC, but also how CIG continues production of the game.

Good video as always, keep up and congratulations on 10k subs! May the force be with you!

Very exciting garage of ships for truely diverse gameplay options. Excellent presentation with great graphics. It must have hurt editing out some of the rest but great result. Thank you Loud Guns.

Absolutely love this chill episode about big bois in the verse. It’s already the second time I watch it in a few months and It’s really helpfull, especially during IAE ! Thanks Loudguns !

Polaris is a great ship for the versatility. It can serve as a ship for big fleets in naval battles, using the relatively high speed and huge torpedoes, to perform glass cannon hit and run tactics. But also it can be operated with a bare minimum skeleton crew, to serve as the mobile HQ and flagship of a small group of raiders/looters/explorers/mercenaries/bounty hunters. It has a high level medical bed, lots of room to store loot, cargo, trading goods, vehicles, etc. It even has a hangar for a smaller utility ship of choice. It has enough durability to be rather invulnerable to small threats like fighters. It has turrets to defend itself. It has huge torpedoes for taking down other large ships, and also for using as cruise missiles against ground targets. For a group of friends who just want to explore and complete multiple sorts of hustles for fun, the Polaris enables you to do so much.

Great video. I'm always astounded as to how much there is still to come to the verse. And your research is top notch. 👌 Thank you!

I picked up an Idris and the K upgrade kit this most recent IAE. I can’t wait to stuff my whole org in that sucker and go pirate hunting. Something we’ve been discussing is all the possible combinations of smaller ships you can fit in it. One suggestion that gave us all chills was the idea of loading it up with eclipses. Having a stealth escort capable of lobbing size nine torps at things would be just dirty

Carriers are the coolest ships for me so I'm just waiting for a tevarin one. Grats on 10k here's hoping they keep coming.

Really interesting video, thank you for the quality of your work ! This game will have so much diversity once orgs could buy whatever ship suits their needs. I imagine players creating a "city" in space just with ships where people of the org mine in the near areas and other players come there and buy the ressources they need. And after a certain time the org decides to move to another solar system and the economic changes a lot because of that mining city. I hope the things that happen in a solar system will have an impact on all the npcs in that system if the event is important enough, for example two factions fighting with a Bengal. This game has still so much to deliver to space fans.

there's nothing i love more than carrier fleets i hope to set up an org dedicated to creating massive fleet like that

one of my all time favorite videos on star citizen. by far. you rock team loudguns. glad to be a member of your org

I’m just getting into SC and this video was great to get me excited for the future of the game, I’ve always loved space and space ships and can’t wait for capital ship vs capital ship slugging matches. Also I agree we need another carrier possibly a medium one. Anyways thank you for the great content.

Great video! Lots of cool info that I wasn't aware of for Cap ships (I'm a fighter jock myself so I tend to steer away from the larger ships....GET IT!)

So true that Kingships and the Pegasus will likely be props or hero pieces that won't be realized until well into the game's lifetime, but the idea of a derelict Kingship, better yet one we can repair like the Bengal, that's what makes this game amazing. Fantastic work, Ten thumbs up 👍

Very good insight into the capitol class ships that I personally knew very little about. Very nice, thank you.

S12 torps and guns were basically designed / developed to fight against the Vanduul Kingships and Drillers and such, as I understand it. 2800M long for the Kingship, compared to like 2300 for the UEE Retribution. We may only see the Retribution in the latter chapters of SQ42 (as in, the latter sequels, basically.) I *gaurantee* we'll eventually see Vanduul capship events in SC MMO persistent universe.

It will be awesome to serve at one of this capital ships! The level of immersion is incredible, i felt like being part of Star Wars or Star Trek or some other Sci-Fi by just watching. oh and BTW AWESOME Video!! Love it!

Love your videos and in depth reviews, I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.

Thanks for all the interesting info!!

Loved the longer video, very entertaining and informative. Look forward to spending some time with your org in the future

Great video! Can't wait to see some big beasties in the verse

Best video I've seen on star citizen. Way better than other creators! Thank you for the info!

Love the video. Can't wait to see more of these ships flying around in the verse. Crusader built a flying city, surely they will build a capital ship of some kind ?

Great video Loud Guns! Keep up the great content! 👍

just found the channel and love it so far. keep making great videos!

Thanks for the overview, great video, keep them coming 🙂

Great video, lots of things I didn't know before! I agree 100% with the Argo Capital ship!

I am so looking forward to getting the BMM. Every time they add in pictures/vids with what is being done it has made the wait so very much worth it. Lots of detail and a great ship to own for multi-career-based citizens. Something to travel around in the black with and find things to do along the way. My Firefly if you will. The Orion is something I am considering as well. Big miner and what brought me to your channel. :) Thank you for the vid Loud. You do these very well!

Love the lower decks reference. I work on the show ☺️ at least the last 2 seasons. One of my favourite projects

more videos like this please! i love the length of the video

Good research, well reasoned commentary and no time consuming fluff about how your day went (pet peeve of mine others videos). Very nice.

You did a great job, don't be so hard on yourself. Keep creating!

Interesting video, thanks for putting it together.

hey man loved the vid! thanks for the details you just made me love this game more than i already did !!!

Great video! Can't wait to try all those ships in the future.

There's gotta be bigger ships and I can't wait to see them.

Kraken that can take a horde of prospectors somewhere far off then act as a central collection point is my theory crafting, maybe a Cutlass dashing around picking up saddle bags.

Great overview! Very well done! I understand what is meant by CIG by "Capital Ship", by definition ONLY warships are classified as capital ships. :\

Great job, your videos just keep getting better!

great video and i love the scope and future for Star Citizen

Awesome overview. I really love this type of content!

Really nice and thoughtful video.

My Most FAVORITE of '' Ship Videos! Also Great Handle -- LOUD GUNS '' keep 'em' comings ! -- Man-Solo -- Out! o7

I haven't seen these ships in-depth like this before, so thanks for this video! I was hoping to see an Anvil capital ship during ILW, but with the BMM in the pipeline, at least we have another big ship coming.

First time watching your videos , well done. I find myself looking forward to the Orion the most right now 🙂

Well as the owner of all those ships and a member of your ORG :) I look forward to when these are in the game...

I can't wait to be running around inside the big military ships! The BMM always gave me kinda Homeworld Bentusi vibes!

First time catching your videos. Now subscribed. Cheers!

Spot on with the gaps in available ships. Right now I think the Perseus is going to dominate as the primary ship of the line, bringing the best damage to crew size ratio. They need to add in something 50-75% larger with capital shields and 2-3 additional duel size 7 turrets and additional point defense weapons. For light carriers something that could carry 6 bombers or 12 light fighters would be ideal, in my mind something that would be in the rear of a formation that could deploy additional landing pads for repair/refuel/rearm by drones.

Appreciate the Capital ship info. Thanks

There _are_ actually two other carriers in the lore: the RSI Pegasus and the Crusader Jupiter. The Pegasus is supposedly meant to be prominent in Squadron 42, and it can carry 32 fighters and two Retaliators. The Jupiter, meanwhile, is stated to not actually appear in the PU, but knowing CIG they might add it anyways.

Forgot the Odyssey but you already know that. Great video!

love these videos, the quality is so high

Would love to see a traditional style battleship, 3-5 centerline main turrets with 2-3 guns per turret with AA turrets scattered along the hull. A hangar for a small fighter would be nice but not necessary

Never wanted to hit pause plus I already had a drink and food ready to go. Very well done and keeps up the hope that I can someday go 10 minutes without relogging. Maybe my son will inherit my rig + flight sticks and get to play in the beta.

Awesome quality work, very interesting!

alright alright you got me at the end. that ship sounds epic! Greentaco would love himself something besides the ol' delivery truck titan haha. i am loving delivery missions. i'm gonna post on discord how it'd be cool to have a shipping section of the org as well to run high value packages around.

Loved the video Loud. On the topic of capital ship roles not represented in the game currently, or even hinted at, I'm surprised there's no mention of capital class exploration ships. Flying exploratory cities tasked with exploring and mapping the furthest edges of space - ideal for those who want to live out their Star Trek Voyager / TNG fantasies within SC.

I really like that you are never sugar coating all the stupid things CIG is doing

Dang, you make such great videos! I love this, even if I will never be able to afford one! Thank you.

one of my fav sc youtubers, thanks for the vid

Thanks for the great look at big ships!

Great deep dive! Can't wait to see this dream realized.

Really enjoyed the video, looking forward to more info vids

Great Video, looking forward to crewing one of these in the org!

at first i thought it was a add because of the quality good vid!

Awesome video sir!

im so hyped for what is come!!!

Brilliant video, lots of details. ty

Here from the future, The Bengal quite literally vaporizes ships.

Fleet doctrine/disposition/battlespace of the UEE (more or less): I would expect the standard UEE combat doctrine would be to use Hammerheads and to an extent Perseus (Persei? Omicron Persei 8?) as anti-fighter picket ships on the lead edge of the fleet engaging with the enemy, with some Perseuses also being organized into small wolfpack flight groups of 3-5 ships each, along with Polaris wolfpack flight groups of 3-5 ships that conduct strikes against larger capital ships. Idrises would be general fire support against enemy anti-capital ships as an escort/Destroyer Escort role, while Javelins would be main line direct combat cruisers/destroyers with their powerful cannons. Then you have your big units that the Javelins would mostly be tasked with escorting and protecting, high value units (HVUs), which would be Pegasus Carriers and Bengal Heavy Carriers. If you have ships like Starfarers for refueling, you're probably going to want to keep them by your big HVUs so they can benefit from that umbrella of protection and also be close at hand if your larger capital ships need some additional fuel - most likely the Bengal and Pegasus are chiefly going to be refueling those big bombers of yours, so you want top offs for fuel stores to be close to hand so you can keep sending wave after wave of bombers out after the Vanduul capital ships. You'd probably have Liberators closer to the main combat front (a bit behind the Hammerheads) for your fighters to use to get quick "hot" refuel and rearmament if they need a top up that doesn't require limping back to your main Carriers for more extensive rearm/repair - your big carriers probably would rather deal with rearming your heavy bombers for their attack runs instead. Though it's rare they'd be employed by the UEE, in theory Krakens could be HVUs of smaller detachments or strike groups, or could be LARGE militia headquarters ships that would travel with your Carrier/Supercarrier HVUs to provide additional support and militia reserves for the fight. Obviously, militia Liberators could fit in here as well. And you might also use some militia Idrises as a reargard to cover your flank or as additional fighter refueling stations if you trust them to do so competently. Note you would NEVER have your entire rearguard as militia units, as you do need to ensure at least some of your eyes watching your rear are trusted and competent to sound the alarm if the enemy attempts to outflank you and/or cut off your retreat or supply lines. For militia units, you ideally want them to be ones that DON'T need to operate in close coordination with your military ones. This way, they can be folded into the fleet but not in a place you would need them to be highly trained with the fleet operating structure and command structure of the military, or with military precision and professionalism levels. Having a militia Hammerhead you order to "Go take station with these other UEE Hammerheads and shoot down badguy fighters that come in" works since that's a good deal of autonomy, while having them as part of your Polaris wolfpack flight group requires them to coordinate a lot more with the other members of their flight group and be both obedient and responsive to orders. In the Hammerhead case, they just need to know a general spot to be and can individually pick targets (incoming fighters) to shoot at instead of needing to be ordered to focus specific targets or move in a high stress, quick response time required, coordinated way. In other words, realize that civilian/Citizen militia units will have a lack of training and discipline, and so place them in areas where they can work somewhat freely while still being useful, but aren't relied on to be too locked in and on point. If they're extra competent, then great, but you're preventing a failure by relying on them too heavily in the cases they AREN'T. Ideally, militia units filling roles where they have some autonomy, can act semi-independently, and can't muck things up too terribly if they screw up is where you'd want them, so you ideally want them in ships that serve those purposes in the fleet. This would largely be Hammerheads, to an extent Perseuses, reserve Liberators, flank or rear-guard picket ships (Hammerhead, Perseus, Idris-civilians, Liberators, or possibly Krakens), or additional fuel storage parked by your Bengal/Peguses (Starfarers and similar support ships, Liberators go here as well) . If the Hammerhead had a small fighter bay or landing platform for 2-4 fighters, it'd be the perfect militia ship, but as it is, the Hammerhead and Liberator are two sides of the militia coin, with the Liberator having more multi-purpose both when it's drafted into a UEE defense fleet AND when it's operating independently as a normal defense militia in a system during "peacetime" against pirates and other rabble. Perhaps I'm giving it too much credit, and it indeed hasn't been finalized, but it just seems a really sensible option in both a gameplay/org sense and a lore/UEE system security vs pirates + conscript system defense in case of Vanduul invasion sense. . Overall, this makes the Liberator an excellent ship for the UEE to want to outfit local militias with, since it works extremely well against most threats a militia would be called on to face while also having several places it could be absorbed into a UEE fleet operation in case the system is being invaded by the Vanduul or some other system-level threat. ...did I mention I like thinking about fleet combat with capital ships. : )

I purchased the BMM years ago and I'm so excited for it. Love seeing all of these ships though. The javelin is nutty lol

Got to get excited for server meshing and crewing bigger ships. Looking forward to pioneer and endeavour

well there is the Pegasus support carrier for the UEE. i agree on something like the size of the kraken but not flimsy. and like a brawler anvil corvette. i would love for them to implement the anvil corvette as a civilian, and a full fledged milspec one where we as players can't have the OP version. we already have a small hammerhead gunboat/anti-fighter/area-denial.... the anvil would be perfect for anti flanking and counter flanking but also be able to mess up and hold up bombers, heavy fighters etc that is trying to mess up support ships in a fleet.

Great point and vid. My hope is that cig will see the popularity of things AND competing space games and wrap SQ42 so that this amazing and huge workforce can devote their time to the PU. I wouldn’t be surprised if within a year of release we have 30 new cap ships announced. Might have to check out your org. Thanks mate! Cheers

One thing you saying about the medical base and a capital ships is that their class a medical just as good as in the hospitals where you get injured and stuff they can end up going to there you're fully healed no matter what the injury he was or if you even died that's what makes those ships so good plus all the weapons you can have and all the armor it carries.

I think I ran into you in game today I'm a mega fan I appreciate all the info you have on this channel.

This increases my interest in SC, I am honestly still very concerned given the huge amount of time already passed in development but interested none the less. I will start following you 🙂

Great recap! Fingers crossed the RSI Pegasus is more than just a concept ;)
