You buy a capital ship, and you think is lowly more bigger a constellation ? 😅

​@@Ez0X_seriously, who in their right mind thinks this ship is a medium to small ship lol

@@italydude515 tbf, in the game's own size classification the connie is a "large" ship. And it's no slouch. now that said, I can understand how it can be easy to misjudge scale before actually seeing something up close. I think the Polaris' total internal volume is about equal to 10-12 connies though. So it's a very clear delta between "large" and "capital".

That means a lot :)

i thought it was like processed diamond stuff, thats why it was so expensive

It’s still glass, but in this future the glass is as hard as steel

Like that you could also define a pure diamond window as "glass" ​@@mythicallegendary3992

In lore it is a very strong layered glass with a diamond composite but can still be shattered like glass which is why the Carrack has blast shields.

@@mythicallegendary3992 No, glass is made from silicon. This is not. Even today irl, we have transparent alloys.

Im hyped for more polaris stuff, ceep up this amazing work! Its one of the best comparison videos in a long run! :D

Well good that I published this in time then!

It's in the works, but the refinery module will finish first!

I do!

it is at least physically in the way, I don't think they can properly retract when open, so it will shield it a little.

It's really hard to tell, as there are some elements on the inside that I can't identify, not sure if they move or not. Something between 4.8 and 5.6 meters.

I forgot to mention that, it's over 30 meters long!

I would honestly prefer that, but there actually is a rotating joint modeled in, and you can also tell from the pivot that its supposed to rotate

@@ace_tristPWN i have to look at it again then xD

to me that is a lazy canon explanation to get away with more visibility. If that is the case, why are there NO other windows on the sides of this ship, or the galaxy?

and yet we still have steel support struts right on eye level for the cockpit glas, thats a lazy lore excuse that doesn't even make sense in star citizen.

I rigged an animated everything myself - I don't think Starfab can export rigs, and definitely not animations.

@@ace_tristPWN Thats impressive! Sounds like a skill I need to pick up.

Oh interesting - did not notice anything so far, but I'll have another look!

I'm sure if anything you could raise the hangar up, but you'd be putting the hangar ship outside and vulnerable to access it that way. Guess you wouldn't be getting on top the ship if you're getting shot at though

Thats what I would hope for!

I think in earlier concepts there was another missile turret there, but some of those missiles are now on the nose so I'm not sure

Hey, yes, that part looks suspicious, but in the files, it is just one big piece with the main hull. Everything supposed to move, like the doors, or wings, are easily noticable and also clearly labeled as such - this is just decoration. HOWEVER - they just said in the ISC, that the hull is not completely finished, as we thought. So they might still flesh that out, but RIGHT NOW, double checked for you, It's just decoration :)

which, same with transparent metal, is the laziest lore explaination there ever was in any sci-fi medium (besides diamons are very fragile and will shatter extremely easiely if you hit them with a simple hammer, virtually any construction and engineering material is tougher than diamonds, just as a sidenote). Just add deployable blast shields which are far more visually appealing when deploying and giving actual tactical depth as a bonus, even the Carrack is supposed to have them (not implemented yet) for better protection and thats an exploration ship, not a military one. Even the Cutter has them and thats a flying coffin held together with paperclips and bubblegum.

A quest 3 and Blender!

The hangar was shown at CitCon - it has a smaller floor than ceiling, same as the artworks, for sure. Some corridors are shaped inverse, thats true, but that is not directly around the hangar and not to enlarge it.

Oh yes I saw the light, too, but the model has absolutely no openings there. Could be a placeholder, but honestly it looks to good for that. And the indistructable aluminum glass - to me that is a lazy canon explanation to get away with more visibility. If that is the case, why are there NO other windows on the sides of this ship, or the galaxy?

@@ace_tristPWN you know its real now? there is actual thing called that now no longer fake

@@RobertP-zk8vh You mean the material? Can you point me to what it is called? interesting - but I stick to my point. Tanks and Warships are not and will not be build out of glass, even if it gets as hard as whatever you would use instead. This ship is a virtual DESIGN of a warship, and even if it is possible, for something to look strong and agressive, you don't build it out of glas. My point is purely built on the design aesthetic, not the engineering factor.

@@ace_tristPWN im hoping for armor blast shields for combat

StarJump Grim had an interesting though, he said they they may have specifically designed cockpit and the rocket pods, so that you have those rockets starting right next to you - could be a powerfull view!

@@ace_tristPWN wish those sensor antennas next to cockpit werent sticking out the opposite ways but whatever.Im curious what the interior is going to be like, because i remember hearing they redone it all from what it was like in the concept art, i thought concept art layout and look was great

It's on my list, but no promise as it will take forever

it's the typical RSI cockpit, either you love it or hate it, in my case I love it

That honestly is abit more tricky, cause it's so organic. I would love to, but there are so many i would like to do!

@@ace_tristPWN yes i anderstand mate, i would have love to see it form thé ground

I've seen the ISC, but I honestly only expected minimal changes to the exterior, if any. It's to polished to discard. They mentioned adding POM detail, that basically means texture, but I don't expect big changes to the shape.

We talked to Grim once, nice guy!

Well - nothing can be said for sure, but since it was officially shown with a Sabre, the raven should fiit 100%, and the f7a is actually a little smaller, so I think they will both fit.

That's not true, that seems to be the hitbox only. Starjump Grim did some in depoth scale tests, too, same result - 166m.

Relatively speaking.

good one :D

tbf the space saved by remote turrets would be offset by server racks being required to install these server blades instead.

@@BizzMRK nah... a raspberry pie can controll my auto turret at home, with neural network and a refresh time of 50ms at hd resolution... Should easily be possible in the future.

Something a solo player would say.

@@Narita_boy No, but someone with logic and understanding, on what is going to happen. Only die hard players would deny, until their concept will fall to the ground and they are playing alone. But to each his own.

​@@Thor_Asgard_ if you want realism, then what's the point of playing video games? AI blades are already confirmed to take up space, and there's also a lore reason why AIs aren't that advanced in SC
