   [Music] welcome to day eight and our last day of the 2948 anniversary special I'm sandy Gardner I'm Chris Robbins our biggest freefly event to date is continuing today and over the last eight days we featured a different ship manufacturer every day and made all of their flyable ships available to test fly for free yeah which was very cool and first time we've ever done that and hopefully you've all had a chance to get into the game and try on all these viable ships to close out our eight days of manufacture spotlights with a bang we've rallied the ships and vehicles of consolidated Outland tumbrill land systems are go astronautics and kruger intergalactic

2. 00:00:52

   and crusader industries to discuss all of those manufacturers here are John crew Mike Kinsella Steven kam and Jared Huckaby talk to us about your favorite yeah the the cast AK twin barrel sniper rifle yeah they're much more conservative they've really honed it in yeah I think we're normal than a rail yeah we begin day a our final day of our anniversary promotion you know the last category on our Jeopardy board from from anvil to ageist and that's I like to call this one potpourri take potpourri for 500 500 it's all the

3. 00:01:43

   manufacturers who don't who aren't quite as prolific as the big seven so we're tucked today we're talking about crusader industries we're talking about consolidate at once who else we talking about great cats great cats we're talking about tumbrel Tom broke maker ii like not ships necessarily but ground be a tumbrel land in land systems yeah there's another manufacturer now you've been here to talk about true Kruger's your intergalactic you bigger the Merlin and the they make some excellent stuff you sub craft and they make some really cool guns speaking again all told these these these these poopourri manufacturers or boutique manufacturers of the crusaders is pretty things probably a little too big to call boutique they make up 23 ships and the stars is in universe and of those 23 15

4. 00:02:32

   15 or flyball think it's pretty high ratio that is right yeah so we've got we've got the five cyclones which are our ground because it's not gonna cycles from it before we get to everything house the Cyclones one of the most exciting recent additions because ground gameplay with the advent of our procedural planet system we've got more than just space we've got planets and moons I'm gonna you've driven a cyclone I have a students I'm assuming all your balance driving a cyclone like it's it's fast and wild psyche that thing shifts and if you were driving in reality you probably wouldn't drive it that fast because don't know what's coming over that next hill but in game you hit those bumps you go flying in this it's great we got the great cat buggy PTV the Petrie KETV to give it as proper name

5. 00:03:22

   everyone calls it the buggy and never knows it as the buggy but it's actually know what PT V stands for I'm gonna guess personal transport vehicle I'm gonna guess that you're correct about one of the things that we're reaching to or introducing brand new with the height with alpha 3 3 is our ship store our in-game ship store where you'll be able to purchase many of these ships and one of the things I'm excited about is the great cat right now there's no way to get a gray cat it's a bit of a weird story that thing because back when the project first started planets and sort of easily accessible like huge open terrain wasn't wasn't a thing and the the great cat only came about because the hangars got so big people got fed up of water so we made this thing to help you drive from one

6. 00:04:09

   end of the hangar to the other it was never actually a vehicle to get it it was hanger flare it was just mentally went end of your hangar to another end of the hangar and then I had a conversation with Jay cross or I said when arccorp when the first version of our crop got added and I said hey you know what it'd be really cool if we could drive the buggy around art court it was not and it was not it was I've had a couple ideas that a fugitive sources that was not my best idea I take responsibility for that well I mean who knew they were unexpectedly explosive interested to behave in a sensible tank we've got Krueger though the makers of the Exton Berlin and the Archimedes a snub craft which is sort of like the stub craft are like the ship equivalents of the gray cat because they come in

7. 00:04:57

   like I sitting inside a bigger ship and they you know down there I didn't get the glory of the biggest ships I'm Merlin which is viable and game right now that's a speed little yeah it's good little pocket rocket we'll see that show up on the spectrum yeah and then what we're gonna spend most of the time talking about today are the ships of consolidated Outlands the Mustang lighten now we talked earlier on the RSI day about how there are more RSI space ships than any other any other company RSI makes up almost 500,000 ships number two its consolidated Island when it's the number two most populous my passion that's a strength of the Mustang life let's talk about the Mustang line yes so the Mustang was quite a different

8. 00:05:46

   spaceship compared to all the ones that came before and it sort of the company's ethos is do do something different and doing a different way so it looks very different it behaved very different the original version of it before three three landed on its wings and had a little periscope tube to get in like the aurora it sort of touched all the bases to cover them well was first introduced as an alternative to the aura so we've got the Mustang alpha yep which is your it's your sort of every day is that the cargo variant yeah the sort of a base it's a smarter ship yeah it can carry some car it's got the little external drop it cargo area Mustang beta the Mustang beta don't you have the camera

9. 00:06:39

   this Mustangs rocking you know you know the rest even just a novelty of having a living space and a ship that size is actually yeah you know which is rare for like a little fighter yeah it's like living in our apartment you know then we got the Machine gamma what's a Mustang gamma its eraser so it has I think a third engine actually fewer weapons because it's typically for racing all of the Mustangs have a center portion that is different from one variant to the next changes between the Alpha keeps its cargo there the beta keeps its living space there the gamma keeps an engine there and brings us around to the Delta which is the combat one so it comes with extra weapons on it it has only didn't have extra guns but it also has rocket pods under the wings and of course we do offer a variety of starter packs again

10. 00:07:27

    you know for people's first introduction to start soon when people want to get starting to start Susan the first choice you generally make us do I start with an Aurora or do I start with a Mustang and this weekend we are introducing brand new discounted starter packages is the absolute cheapest least expensive time to get into star citizen it's at a reduced price you can get them for either the Aurora or the Mustang since we're here on consolidate out than a I'm gonna say get the Mustang one I mean the Mustang is more stylish yeah you know I mean that's the day because you're there are more utilitarian has its charm but it's not it's not sleek and I make it a stay meant to be fun to fly one that looks cool they look interesting right they have like an interesting like because that was the whole background of it is that Silas Turner who founded consolidated Outland was sick and tired

11. 00:08:16

    of ships looking what he thought were outdated basically and it's Norway's its if you remind me maybe he had unpleasant things to say about a lot of ships yeah he wasn't a big fan of the modern trends in ship you know and pretty and most of the design says consolidate Allen actually started making conversion kits for existing ships to kind of make them look cooler like spoilers and stuff like that you know spoilers on everything way back it's already a lot of the mystic ships have those spoilers on them already that's it now in addition to those flyable ships we do have a number of ships from these manufacturers especially the ones from Crusader initiatives that haven't made their way into the game just yet I'd say a few moments and talk about which ship from these manufacturers you're most looking forward to making their way to start citizen okay with a star lifter start lift the mercury star Olivia from

12. 00:09:03

    Crusader industries agent yeah just east yeah it is is the big heavy lifter is the only ship in the game really that can easily carry that the tank everyone loves the town brought over no game is complete without tank when they came here instead we're gonna put a tank in the game we're just like yeah we just ran out of the room to start doing it yeah waiting for that day toast the m2 hercules gunship because it well it's supposed to come with these really large bombs isn't it very can solve a lot of things for you yeah I think for the replication of something tells me those are going to be popular you can also you could either do one huge bomb yeah or multiple like you can carpet ball you have a carpet you can

13. 00:09:51

    swap it out so you can do like a carpet bombing situation or you gonna do one balancing that giant thanks no giant sort of to clear out it Canyon full yeah I'm just saying I think people will have fun oh absolutely lots and lots of perhaps people on the ground are unreasonably happy fun times and fun with that young well you need something to balance out those tanks right all that's doing so we have one last Highlander to do piyo Highlander is the last question I ask it's where we take all the ships that build from the manufacturers that we're discussing today you line them up to end and you can only keep one what is it hmm such such a huge range okay for the tank they keep the dome light guitar like it just be that one guy and the tank is

14. 00:10:39

    camp out on a moon and just own that moon everybody said you can't operate the tank in space guarantee I was gonna have some ideas about how we could make that tank cooler yes somebody's gonna try to fly a gym that video I mean I think I think I would say I'm sticking with the with the mercury you know it's it it's cargo it's data its it's fast it's got good weapons it's got turrets it's got yeah it's got a living quarters it's so I got a little bit of everything linoleum fault it's got the Brits got the blue team [ __ ] like like vibe to it so the tank mercury and your ship oh so hard I think I might stick with the Starliner if only so that I can get a bunch of people in there and do an

15. 00:11:28

    airplane movie I think the proper airplane movie in a star liner should be a life goal for if not me for somebody I think it's gonna be done oh my gosh I think we could we can recreate all sorts of movie to do airplane obviously you could do it on air you could do Air Force One Air Force One yes surely you can't be serious I am serious and don't call me Shirley thank you guys so much for being here these weren't I didn't use these enemies were pointless thank you so much for being here this week guys this has been fun so let's do it again next year we'll see what happens thank you so much guys basically yes thanks guys make sure you get in the game and try out a Mustang a cyclone or

16. 00:12:16

    any of the vehicles these manufacturers have to offer remember you only yes remember you only have 24 hours to do it yes in the game so get busy and also I know you've never heard this from me before but you can still try out the brand-new anvil arrow and it will continue until the end of the promotion which is rapidly running out but take it for a spin if you haven't because it's actually a really cool ship and also remember to head to the iae West which is going on right now in Louisville so you check out these ships in game in another sort of cool in a fiction setting mm-hmm after your test flights head to the website to take that quiz if you haven't taken it yet as your score might get you into a ticket yeah we hope you've taken it by now but your score might get you into a drawing for the opportunity to win an anvil arrow yeah

17. 00:13:03

    if you don't you don't take it no complaints even get arvalera that's all for us today we've hope you've been enjoying these last you know 7 days of events and today it's getting near the end but it's been a lot of it's been very cool to do this in fiction thanking to all these sort of old backers that have been there the new backers new people just checking out the game as well as the dev staff that managed to put all this together which i think is a kind of unique proposition it's an in-game ship show I don't think anyone else has ever done that before so it's really cool yes very cool and thanks to all of you everyone watching have fun and fly safe we will see you thanks for watching for the latest and
