Quantum Dispatch: Hello everyone and welcome back to the Quantum Dispatch Podcast. Another week has gone by and there's plenty for us to dive into this evening. We've got alien ships, we've got alien tacks, we've got raylions and a ship that no one can pronounce. But before we get into all of that, happy Father's Day to everyone out there. We're gonna get into that in just a second. Pete, CJ, to both of you boys actually, happy Father's Day. Still counts. Still counts. ⁓ We've all made the school then. But shout out to the one and only swanky fisherman who is currently on paternity leave after becoming a new father for the first ever time. I know he's already got his ⁓ referral in. So yeah, that kid is set up. Maybe they might see release before they hit pension age. I don't know, we'll see. We will see. So, how have you spent your father's day this morning, CJ? I had a barbecue. over at a friend's house, chewed at a barbecue and had a barbecue yesterday, so this weekend has been pretty barbecue. It's gonna be the week of barbecues with this weather. And everything about what you just did there. Yeah, you love it. I I am currently barbecuing sitting in my living room, and I'm not talking about barbecue meat, I'm barbecue myself. It is so hot. Mm-hmm. Unbelievable. It's only gonna get hotter. Yeah, Bosch, ⁓ B and Q, if you want to sponsor us and throw us out some air conditioning units, it'd be ⁓ much appreciated. But I literally just bought one. Yeah. I really want an air conditioning unit to cool me down about the same point. I can't warrant spending like five hundred quid. I I spent two hundred and eighty. Nice. Nice, nice. And it's still and I haven't got it on right now because it's too loud to have on during the stream. Yeah. ⁓ and yeah. What about you on that? ⁓ sorry it was just keeping cool. Yeah. I have ⁓ a t twenty five, thirty five fan off of Tesco's, but if I'm honest, like after coming back from Spain, I'm now looking at investing heavy. I don't care how much it costs and like drilling a hole into my wall, so you got the X fill pipe and just yeah. Maybe if I can lower the temperature by a degree or two, I'll be happy. Jeff Label. Yes. ⁓ how have I spent today I so I long story short, I didn't really go anywhere today and I decided to do a bit of editing and I edited a video and it took me a long time and I that is literally all I did. I've done I set up the aircon unit. It was a very nothing day really. But ⁓ yeah, that's it. That's all from me. Fair. Fair. Sounds like good fun. It wasn't There is one thing not Star Citizen related and completely not related but I genuinely upset about. I didn't realise they were doing an actual flight with Vulcan. The aircraft, you know, Vulcan? Yeah. The Avro Vulcan. They've flown. My favourite plane of all time. Yeah. I swore it's retirement flight. So did I. And they've flown it and genuinely, if I had known, no matter where it was in the world, I probably would be there to witness its flight. Yeah. But I missed it. I didn't know. But yeah, sorry, completely sidetracked. ⁓ That was just my thing for today. No, let's just talk about that for an hour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To be fair. Probably more interesting. ⁓ but no, right. Point one on the agenda. Who's been in the Raylan? We'll cover the other one, but we'll go for Raylan first. Is that you just chose that because you could pronounce the name. Is that right? Tul is T Y I. Twee Louis? No. There's no Louis in T T T L T Louie. Alright, anyone that's in chat, throw out your ⁓ spell it correctly. No, just how you say it. Spell it like you would say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the word? What's the ⁓ there's a word for it in it? When you write Telouy. No. Phonetical. Yeah, phonetic yeah, like phonetical or Exclamation Tyre Lewis. ⁓ Okay, it's bite. That's a bit of a reach. ⁓ but yeah. R write down how you would say it in letters, but we we can we can settle this. We can settle this right now. With a fight? Yes. after hang on, where are we? Do this. Do we pay per view the fight? Pay yeah. here we go, right. Window Bosch. Yes, Bosch. Right. Here it is. Okay. This is how it was pronounced in behind the ships. Gonna turn it up. Everyone everyone ready? Who was pronouncing it though? Who said it? ⁓ I can't remember. Okay. Ready? This bit's so cool. Yeah. Wait, right, right, everyone say who the who what they think it is. I'm going T ⁓ T. Louis. Can you go can you tab back five seconds? So I can see how it's written on the screen. ⁓ Ty I Loi. Ty tie ti tie lie. Tie. Okay, you've gone tie lie. Yeah, tie lie. Go on, Pete. No, please no. That's really weird. That's a lot of letters that I don't see any. Tuloui. Tuloui. Okay. Here we go. The T Louis is a new c. Louis. Yeah. We're all like, Yeah, that's what I said. Okay. It is stop picking on people in CIG in the dev department. They've obviously got a speech impediment. They're not saying it properly. Why what does it mean? Mr. Rose says Ty Louie. That's bang on I think it was T. Louis though. No, he said Tylee, though. Yeah, I know. But what I'm saying is I think it's Tea Louis. I'm gonna I'm gonna find the picture though that sums it up. ⁓ But yeah. ⁓ the firstly, let's go back to the Raylan. Yes. Who's been in it? Who's flown it? Who's seen it? All of the above? Yeah, I s it is it is really nice. it's brilliant. Let's not mention price though. Let's just talk about it first and then we'll go on to the price. So live up to live up to what you expected it to be. Yeah, I'm I'm a bit gutted that the ⁓ the concept Paint wasn't released as a paint option where it was like pink and then white, like the white little s section at the top. I really like that and that they haven't released that as a paint and I'm a bit gutted about that. Coming soon TM. Segan. Coming soon TM. Maybe, maybe, yeah. I th but other than that, as a ship, as a ⁓ as functions, it's perfect. ⁓ it's gotta be up there of the best cargo ships, top three easily. Ma I I think probably number one. Six hundred and forty SEU, all exterior, so easy to load and unload, two tractor beams. Yada yada. ⁓ but but yeah, I I love it. I think I'm gonna use it a lot. How about you boys? ⁓ Mine's gone. What? Well, mine's got well, gone or going. ⁓ yeah. I I like the price increase. That that's that's what I appreciate more from this ship. ⁓ Don't get me wrong, looks really, really nice. And they're followed the same like Sulein Sulein? Sule of Sulian. Suleian, the Suleun. ⁓ they followed the same ⁓ design with it, right? Where it's the the marbling on the the structure and all that sort of stuff. And it looks really, really cool. ⁓ the animations I don't know. ⁓ looks really nice, but doesn't really fit where it is, I don't think. You've got all these other ships, and even the Sulin isn't that magical. Like with all the levitating parts and pieces. And I know we we touched on this last week or the week before, whenever it was, when the ⁓ the sneak peeks and the videos, the trailer came out for it. But I don't know. Not I'm not not sold on the animations. I think it looked too magical. But then Yeah. Cargo size increase and all that sort of stuff. ⁓ yeah, it looks really nice. Looks pretty cool. But i i it's not gonna replace the whole B for me. It's not gonna replace my caterpillar. So interesting. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, we did Pete and I did talk about this last week about the animations and the floating stuff. ⁓ but what out I'm curious just from what you've said. Obviously I can the other the caterpillar I get 'cause it's like Drake and it's Just an iconic ship, so I kinda get that. The whole B though, what what over the whole B makes you say I want the whole B r rather than the Railon? And that's coming from a Misc fan, right? I love the I love Misk, but the Raylan just does everything the whole B does but better in my opinion. So I'm curious as to why you would pick one over the other. ⁓ it's cheaper. Does almost the same. And is cheaper. Yeah, it lacks in firepower. ⁓ And it's a little bit more convoluted to load and unload because you've got to go to like four different corners rather than the railing, like everything just falls out of its ass. ⁓ so yeah, I mean I can get I can understand, but for the price difference and I mean I'm to be fair, I'm talking that I've got a what was it, a hundred and ten hundred and ten dollars whole B before the price hike. ⁓ that is obviously a lot more Better for me. Plus the whole bee's smaller with no cargo on. And it's actually smaller with cargo. It's just a bit longer. A little bit more penis, which the lads are chatting about in in Twitch chat. ⁓ Yeah, you got Hyped Evo and ⁓ who who's he? ⁓ Grimmus talking about peen shaped ships. Which one is the best size? ⁓ yeah yeah. And it's not about the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean. ⁓ so yeah. I I don't know. I don't think it can replace the whole B. And I think if I'm going to that amount of cargo and I want to go bigger, I'm not going to go like one hundred cargo more. I'm now going to go ironclad, sort of like difference. Yeah. but then the ironclad as is a good in between. It's almost external cargo because of the sunroof. Like you just like throw it in over the top and it goes to a grid. Have you actually tried cargo running in the ironclad yet? Or did you manage to spawn an ironclad? But we'll we'll we'll that's we'll that's that's two, three weeks ago. ⁓ Yeah, it's be I hear it's being fixed in the the recent Evo. I haven't managed to get time to jump in at all really recently. But ⁓ yeah, I hear they're they're fixing everything with the ironclad, so we get around to testing and trialling everything. ⁓ do you think you'd struggle? With the car with getting cargo in and out, I think you'd struggle. I mean they've got the arm on the ironclad that comes out of the tractor beam that allows you to sort of load from the front. Yeah. But as a from a top loading standpoint, there's actually nothing that helps you top load. You'd have to have someone up there with a double handed tractor beam lifting it up and over. Yeah. If you really gone. Well, when you're running cargo and you're running like a chain of missions, you have to like section off your cargo to say, right, that's my copper, that's my stims. And you kind of have to plan like what you're gonna take out first because it saves a lot of effort. So you go, right, I'm going to this location first and that's stims. So I want to put those at the front. So I'm gonna take those off first. There's a lot of planning that goes into structuring your cargo bay. So what I'm saying is with the ironclad, you can't just chuck it over and drop it in. You do have to place it and think about it. And I don't really see it being like a really user friendly cargo grid to work with because of that. An atlas on the ramp is probably the best option. So the top kind of becomes a little bit like it becomes a you might as well use it as a ship hanger rather than loading cargo in there. I would love to like have the ability to put an ATLS on the roof of the Iron Glad, you know, on the little b the brick bit between the sunroof and the front. So you like you can snap it and then it flies over and you can snap it down straight away and do that quickly. That'd probably be really useful. But like ⁓ Hype Tiva said in chat. Yeah, and obviously you've got the command module to negotiate stuff. But then you say about having to organise things about what's coming off first. I mean you're still gonna run into that issue with the Railon. Because if it's stacked first, yeah, it's stacked. And if you've got three thirty two SEU boxes in a row, it's really hard to pull that middle one out. True. So it's it's yeah, you're right. Like ⁓ you do have the only option is the only good thing about the railing is because it's all external and it goes around, it's a little bit easier to go I was kind of more responding to when you were saying you just drop the cargo in. Yeah. And you you have to kind of plan for it is what I mean. But yeah, no, it is a I yeah, it's a pain. It'd be a good two man job though. Person on the outside just two handed yeets cargo boxes over into the sunroof. Like no like care and responsibility for what's in it. They just like yeet and then it's a guard on the inside that catches it. ⁓ But yeah, ⁓ and and it does fit two glasses of milk, ⁓ for a biker. ⁓ Probably more than two glasses. But it that's actually a point that ⁓ Pork Sprice said is no, not Pork Sprice, who said it? ⁓ Gridimus, about having an ATLS dock. Imagine if there was like a little mini elevator in the ironclad that you just press the button and in the top front right corner it just like popped an ATLS out that you can then move around the top of the ship or fly off if it's a geo or something. Not geo. The ictu. ⁓ it'd be really cool. Do you have a question for chat about the Railin? And this is this is actually something that I thought about that I haven't had a chance to test. Has anyone attached an ATLS to the cargo grid of the Railin? And can you do it like you can to the raft? So can you tractor beam it up? I I assume so. I just don't know because when I was doing cargo with the tractor beams, I thought, my goodness, an ATLS right now would be. Perfect because you just turn around from the freight elevator, pick it up, look up, and then you can just place it where it's perfect for the ATLS. But I'm not sure if you can. It does. perfect. I think the Raylan's the best cargo ship. I'll die on that hill right now. It's so good. Yeah. Well, that's the end of GFA, then he's gonna die on the hill. ⁓ Junior next week, it's gonna be us two. Can't see a challenge, just a railing and maybe a rock miner. Yeah. have ⁓ biker says have they fixed the auto docking yet? It gets difficult with the purse trying to dock manually. no. ⁓ jump and test that. It's it's quite it is hard and you have to sort of like with certain ships you have to dock it the right way, even if it's got docking colour both sides. Most stations you can only dock on like one side. You can't choose which side to dock on, it's it's selected. ⁓ I've used AutoDoc. It worked the first like I flew the Ironclad on drop. So before it seemed to have any bugs, I managed to fly it. I pressed the wrong button, it undocked the command module, but then I had it autodock back to the Ironclad. So the autodoc worked. But God forbid trying to use the autodoc feature on a ship that requires it. ⁓ but yeah, I've not tried it. Yeah. I mean the last That I tried to dock a Perseus recently and it's it's just impossible, it just doesn't work. So you actually can't land the Perseus anywhere other than like a big station. Is it ⁓ Perseus specific? I only know it from the Perseus, so I I'm gonna say I don't know. Yeah. But yeah. How about you, Pete? Have you ⁓ have you had a chance to explore the railing a little bit? Yes and no, it hasn't left the hangar, but I've pulled both of them last night very briefly. I was like, I took forever to update my shaders. Then they updated it. I had to update shaders again, and then so I was like, alright, I've only got a little bit of time, jumped in the railing. Was like Hmm, not sure about this. Left up the TwiLouy. Ty Louis, the Tou Louis. Anyway, brought up the sister ship. I went on board straight away, I was like, ⁓ wow, I love how this looks. I didn't realise the default lighting system was set differently. But ⁓ when I walked into the second one, it was like the colour was there, there's like grass on the ceiling. There's not all that much different about the interiors. It's just purely about like the the purpose. So obviously you've got the the hamster wheel and the four bay for the ⁓ for the snub fighters. Alien Snuffy, I absolutely agree with that. That there needs to be a thing. interested how that's gonna look, but go back to what you said, you would say you would choose the whole B, right? Yes. Then George, you would choose the Raylan. See, I think it just comes down to preference, apart from the fact that the the Raylan has the exterior guard for the for the ⁓ for the cargo. But I think one thing that was suggested, ⁓ was it last week was if they had like a release all or jetson all when you're in your hangar, just land, just poof, just drop it. And then off you go. Form Formula One cargo team. ⁓ just all Yeah. That would be really like and it would work for tons of ships as well. Like imagine just flying in with a raft. You land or hover really near the ground, release all, one big slab just lands on the floor. But I think they should add a feature. And I mean, this is like asking for a feature, so it's not gonna happen. ⁓ but being able to combine a block of cargo, so like you give one like an authority, so all the cargo ⁓ like is is one basically rendered as one lump. So you can have tons of one of C boxes, and then on the the cargo ⁓ grid or on a two-handed tractor beam, you just do like a lock. all kind thing and like it's the same as ISO shipping containers. They've got ⁓ little keys that you just turn on all four corners of these shipping containers and they lock together to the surrounding ⁓ containers. So then you could drop a whole slab off and then it would actually create a need for you to use size two and size three tractor beams right now. So I mean your single hand tractor beam tool can only do what, like eight SCU cargo containers or can it do sixteen and thirty twos as well? I know they burfed it. But then what's the point of having a size two or a size three, like a big tractor beam? If sorry, or your question if the tractor beam can do thirty two. Yeah, yeah. I mean the mini question. The multi tall one. 'Cause then it adds layers then, you're using a little one to move little bits of cargo, a size two for moving the big boxes, but then a vehicle borne one to move slabs of cargo. ⁓ I think it would be quite useful. Yeah, that's it. 'Cause I know we're gonna be able to pack and unpack cargo so if there's one that if we have a four SU box and we wanna make it into a six and w sorry, if we have a four and a two and we wanna make it into what just a six, you can combine it and then you'll be able to split out cargo and basically rejig the SCU size. I know that that is coming at some point. ⁓ What does it SCU cargo container a little though, 'cause there isn't one. Sorry. I know I know you mean yeah. Yeah, you know item. You can go brump and splice it. Yeah. ⁓ So yeah, I just think it's I think when that comes into the game, it will make life a lot easier because at the moment it really annoys me that we can't do that. ⁓ yeah, but I think that's a really good idea you just meant you just brought up there to be able to like group things and and sort of slab it. ⁓ that could be part of that system that you just mentioned. So that would be really, really good. It's a great, great shout. ⁓ Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It it would make things like that easier. And the and the eject tool, the Jettus and all. ⁓ the Mole has it, doesn't it? Well the prospector has it. Yeah, that's more for containment fuel. Yeah. It's not gonna get back in time just jettison. That's the thing. There the features in the game, practically. I know it's probably gonna have to change because it's all pods in relation to whatever. Cargo grid, yeah. Yeah. But surely it would kind of work. ⁓ but then that would actually make certain things like the ⁓ whole B a lot better. Because you've then got bulks of set amounts of cargo you can just fly up drop one side off, slides off the side under the floor. And you see like a little nine degrees rotation, next one. Nine degree rotation, next one. What what they need, I think, is, you know, they're building that three D model. Well, the idea is they want to have the three D scanned model of the ship in your heads up display where you can then ⁓ see your surroundings when you're landing, 'cause so many ships have blind spots, so that it renders sort of your terrain around you. Yeah. What would be good is if they took that system and also had like a three D render of the ship that you've got the ⁓ cargo grid. And if you could just dis disengage the magnets from the cargo grid individually, but like in sections. So like on the whole B, for example, being able to power off just the underbelly half of the cargo grid, but leaving the top on and vice versa. The raft it kind of works with, but you can't there's no physical button. What you do is you go underneath it with a tractor beam and just spam tap and it just disconnects them all. Yeah. ⁓ and then you send your raft down with the cargo on the hangar and it gets stored to your freight elevator. Then you can bring it up and send it down, complete your mission. Really good. ⁓ that's obviously it's a workaround, but it's not always reliable. Sometimes stuff can disappear when you do that. But yeah, it would be good if we could just land on a hangar, jettison all, drops all of the cargo from the railing or the raft or the whole B, ⁓ and then you can just send the ship down and it stores all that cargo into the station and it's in your freight elevator. That would just anything to r reduce tedious, repetitive gameplay is a bonus in my opinion. ⁓ I don't necessarily want to sit there. What's that? What's the point of them doing the whole cargo refactor if now you just want it to be easier? Like or having the cargo elevators and stuff. It's adding another person to the crew, right? If you've got like a load master, yeah. You can then have another person doing an actual tangible job on a ship. I'm I'm with that. That's a good idea. Yeah, but like what what GFA was saying though is dropping it all onto the hangar. And then the hangar goes down with the ship. Right. The cargo goes down with the ship on the elevator. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I mean, that's how it works at the moment. Yeah. Because there's no pads to land on. Like there's no there's a cargo pad at like random stations. Like on Pyro, you've got those like cargo pads that you could do something like that on. But like in your hangar, you can't just like jettison the stuff onto the freight elevator. I don't mind moving it from the freight elevator over, but I just think it would be nice to have the option of like certain ships. a bonus of a raft is you can just jettison the stuff off and it just makes loading and unloading it little bit quicker. Yeah. It would be interesting though if you could just jettison a big slab and on the ship throw it into the cargo elevator. Yeah. And then that's it. You can store the ship straight away, then land it, turn it off, and then as you s you know you've got the terminal right next to the cargo ⁓ terminal. Send your ship down and then run to the thing and then send your cargo down. ⁓ or be able to do it from your MFD. Being able to like send cargo down on the grid from your ship. Cause then you can then offload the next slab and send it in. But it'd be really cool though with like a C two. And then you just like tip the C two up, nose down, and then you just everything just falls out and just lands on a on a big towel on the pad. That would be quite funny. That would be good. ⁓ but So how are you boys feeling about like the artistic look of the ships and the work that the guys have done from the ship team? On ship. Yeah. Well go Rayland first, 'cause we're not touched the ⁓ tealy wayly while e leye. ⁓ I mean I'm not gonna argue it don't look beautiful. You don't like it? No, I'm gonna no, I'm not gonna argue that it that it it definitely does mad dog CJ said nose down ass up. ⁓ Ray no, the the Raylan does look beautiful. There's no there's no argument against that. It is a beautiful looking ship. ⁓ Yeah. Well how is chat feeling as well whilst we discuss this? I I wanna know people's opinions on these on these two duo ships. I we've seen how the design progress has has gone with the Drake and RSI and now we're seeing more alien ships and we're we're potentially getting a lot more coming. ⁓ yeah. What are you guys' thoughts and feelings on on how they look and are they gonna be in your fleets? I I I do like the look of the the railing. I do find it odd with all the flowers and stuff. It just and there f there feels like there's a lot of wasted space. There's a lot of just open plan open plan emptiness in it. But I get that the whole point is that aliens are big and that they would struggle to move through tight corridors and stuff so it makes sense. Although the doors are kind of normal human size and so are the seats and stuff. But anyway, ⁓ I get it. Right. I get the the idea behind it. I like ⁓ I like I I I like ⁓ I don't te personally I'm not a huge fan of alien ships for the most part. I kind of just go for normal ships. But the Raylan is an exception. I think it is very cool. And the what was and the Stinger. The Stinger was really cool. Was it the Stinger I'm thinking of? Yeah. One where you like sort of go on like a go on a little ride to the front. Yeah. You ride the Nox Q up to the end. Yeah. I I I think that's a really cool ship as well. I think the art design's getting better and better. And ⁓ it's kind of when you go back and fly an old ship you're like, God, we need we need the re the remodel of the freelancer and the constellation and stuff. We need the Mark Twos, we need the the update. ⁓ but at the same time I don't I don't want them to sunset the old ones. I want the old ones to be rejuvenated. But I get that it's not easy 'cause there's not enough room to put like components and stuff. So yeah. ⁓ I like it. I I'm a fan. I'm a fan of the of the Raylan and the Tulu. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say I'd I'd I quite like the look of the grandeur of the size of them and like ⁓ there's a lot of things. ⁓ I know it's morphologist pointed out one really good thing and that would have been the the entry part where the the platform lowers down. They missed out on an opportunity to have like a a beam of shining light coming down, like you're being beamed up. Like it and he did like an artist rendition of it and it looked pretty good. but I'm very much in the same thought process as you is like It's big because it needs to be big. And there's the key components, the key areas, but between that, that empty space has just been filled with alien. And it's like it has serves no purpose. And it just does feel like a lot of like empty space, but it looks good. So yeah, I'd I'd like to see like potentially over the course of development things being input into those areas. And so it's a usable space, not just something just to look at. It would have been nice if we could move things around, like reconfigure the space, because there's so much empty room, like the table can be moved over here. On the floaty on the floaty tech, you can just move the table where you want. Would have been nice. But I I think it we're just asking for too much of the tech at that point. looking at the rest of the stuff from Gatek, a lot of it is like stuff that ⁓ reclines into sort of it looks like it would potentially lower into the floor. What do you mean by a lot of the other stuff from Gatak? Name the ships. The Sulun? Not a lot of the other ship stuff. It's just one ship. Sorry, I misspoke then. Sorry. Yeah. ⁓ okay. But already already in that in that just from the Suleun then, they've already got like a design. It's almost like a bit of like a a tradition sort of pattern, isn't it? Like they've got a style of things that just you know, just disappear into the wall and come out of the floor and so yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna ⁓ agree here. ⁓ I think all three of us are actually agreeing on something which is chat chat clip that. ⁓ can't be right. No. But as you've already said, the the there's a lot of space on the railing and the the t twili woolie. And it doesn't fit the Soulun. The Soulun is small, it's tiny. You imagine what what is compacted into that ship? It's got the multiple levels and that ship itself is tiny. But when you're in it, it feels like it's the right size. It feels good. It's got an elevator in it. Like and then with these ships, they feel too big. They feel more explorer. They feel more luxury. Especially with the butterflies and flowers and and the nice stuff. I feel like ⁓ Gatak could make a really, really nice comp ⁓ competitor like to the eight ninety. And I've only just said the eight ninety 'cause Hyperion just jumped into Twitch chat. ⁓ but it could make a really good explorer competitor because it's got that element of like luxury. I say explorer slash luxury. ⁓ but it it is luxury with the butterflies and the flowers and the niceness and the openness of the the areas that they're in. But it didn't need to be that. End of the day it is a cargo hauler. Or a a pocket carrier for the Twilie. Well, you're into your law. Is there an actual reason why that would be there? Like, is it ⁓ a sort of like a life support system? Does that grass and plants give off a different sort of gas, or is it just luxury? Yeah, so there was a comment that was made on the behind the ship ⁓ stuff about the alien food ⁓ thing. I think those you know those pods that have like floating up. Down. They look like little tiny canisters, and there's like a row of like ten of them. I think that's supposed to be something to do with the ⁓ the alien food source, ⁓ hence why it's in the kitchen area as well. But I don't know. ⁓ it is a it's beautiful, really cool, and it's like hulking, especially when it lands and it folds its legs away. Yeah. ⁓ but I just don't I don't know. I feel like they could have optimized the space and I know like our friends ⁓ in CRG are gonna be like hating this when I say it. But I feel like the design language internally should have been a lot more compact and surrounding and it would have gave you a lot of like other things. ⁓ and then there should have been another ship, an exploration. If they had done the Rayleigh and released it as an exploration ship and got rid of all the cargo and got rid of the hangar and all that sort stuff, and it was just a a a luxury cruiser, then it would have fit the role perfectly in my opinion. So comparing like the Raylan to the little sister Sulan, do you feel like the they should have kept the same sort of like Yeah. They should have kept it yeah, they should have kept it enclosed, smaller, like not massive, vast open I know you can't have massive, vast open space in a Suleim, but if you look at the square footage of that ship and look at the X ray, there's so many things compiled into such a small area. I get what you're saying. Yeah, whereas in the Raylan it's just a big massive room, which actu there doesn't need to be a big massive room. Could have taken some proper internal cargo in there. Potentially. ⁓ more. This is why I wanted to bring up this concept image that I've been trying to find, but they've taken the old ones off the main page. But what I liked about this image when I bought the Raylan initially was it looks very homely in the sense that It doesn't look like there's wasted space in this concept image. You've got the plants. I know it's not alien, so I guess that's why they had they took it off. I know we have the plants, but they're in the ceiling. They're not encroaching into the room to make it feel like a lived in environment. And you've got like this seat by the elevator here. There was just more stuff going on. It wasn't just open floor space. Whereas the the release version, and this was the paint I mentioned earlier, by the way, I'm gutted they didn't release this paint. I really like the look of this with the white on the edge. ⁓ but when you look through the concept images, the old one, it there doesn't feel like as much wasted space, or just empty space I should say, ⁓ compared to what's actually come out in the the f the finalized version. ⁓ and ⁓ there's been loads of changes, obviously there's not floating seats here, and I I'm that's all that's all well and good. I I like what they've done with it. But yeah, I can't help but agree that there is a bit of waste of space and I do wish it was just filled with a bit of extra something. Which was in the original concept. But yeah, shall we move on to to the T. Louis? Yes. Because I was muted. I literally said the same thing as you said it. I was like, looking at the time, and then you like, looking at the time. but I sent you a picture, Giffe, can you You did send me a picture and I have already got a T Louis. ⁓ this is from someone in our in in the org, Alfred Dhani, ⁓ who posted it and now I cannot unsee it. I cannot unsee this picture. Do we want to see this? ⁓ NUH What's that meme called? I remember the dude. I don't know, but if you're fitting Archimedes or Merlin's, whatever that is, i inside your ace hole, you need to see a doctor. No, did you not see the whole with the reclaimer claw? Yeah, yeah. They've they've done they've done the joke. They've done ace ventura. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ace Ventura. ⁓ god. Alien Ventura Again, really nice ship. ⁓ I love in the the the running track. ⁓ the ⁓ zero well, it's not zero G, but whatever it is. ⁓ I like that. It's really cool and it also then does bode into potentially future tech of like mag boots running around the outside of a ship. Like that might be a feature that comes into it or ⁓ or something like that. But it does look really, really cool. ⁓ I'm a little bit not meded by The vehicles it takes inside. ⁓ sorry, not a bit what? Myth. A bit myth. Myth. Yeah. I'm a bit a bit annoyed with the vehicles it kind of takes inside. It is really restricted to the really small vehicles. ⁓ like I wanted to get a golem in there. Obviously, so I can get four golems and then have a combat wing ⁓ munch anything up. ⁓ but yeah, you can't fit it in. It makes sense though. It does make sense. It's it's a s it's a pocket, it's it's a ⁓ it's to carry small ships, it's n it's not to carry the bigger ships. Like a golem, if you could fit a golem you could start then opening these doors to like sabres or like a like royal mark twos or just more powerful fighters. So it's supposed to be a n a snub fighter carri carrier and I I kind of get it. It's at least it's got its place. 'Cause otherwise if it could own if it could carry big ships l or bigger ships, I feel like it's you're just waiting for the Kraken to come out to make it completely obsolete or something similar. yeah, but I I I I like it. I ⁓ all I wish is they had some more snub fighters that could fit in comfortably, because at the moment it feels like it's just a fury in the pit bull, and they joked in the behind the ship that they were gonna make an alien snub ship, didn't they? So I would love a g a Gatak snub. Like it would and I think they need to now. They've created a ship to carry snubs, and you don't make a ship to haul your competitors around. ⁓ apart from RSI and Kruger, but an RS RSI and Kruger was a ⁓ in the law was a partnership between the companies. ⁓ I think it'd be a flying pyramid. Like it's a little pyramid. I I wouldn't Yeah. Chris Chris Robert hands, it's like takes off and then comes out and off you go. Yeah. Almost like an X Wing but pyramid. I don't I mean I don't I don't hate the idea. Maybe I do. ⁓ but yeah. ⁓ they do need to do something though. ⁓ and I think it'd be really cool if it was like defender in sort of shape where it's like the two sort of like prongs and then maybe the cockpit in the middle. And then when it lands, it really retracts in, maybe makes a pyramid. Like a not like a like a a a nicely shaped pyramid, but it's like a long pyramid. And then when it takes off, it kind of like splits out and maybe like the cockpit comes out in the middle or retracts and it's like it looks like the blade sort of an insilhouette, but it's a really small version of it. Defender's one of the coolest looking ships that you just never really see anyone use in. But yeah, that would be pretty cool. With like the two arms. That's the only thing Keiko flies in Alpha Rodani. She's always in the defender. Really? Apparently it's really good. Respectable. It's so good. Just don't see anyone in it. ⁓ but yeah. ⁓ GIG if we're gonna tear that up. ⁓ I take raw it is quite low, two percent. ⁓ but it was really cool design idea. ⁓ takes four of them as well. Yeah. It is a pocket carrier. What four what, sorry? Four snubs. Is it four? I thought it was three. Four? It is four, nice. It's four and then it's got two cargoes. Yes. So I played with Karamako on Thursday night, I feel like. ⁓ and we took out the t the Telouy and we put some Furies in it, 'cause ne none of us have pit balls, so it's just a couple of Furies. Mako stayed in the cockpit and Carl and I were the in the Furies just popping out the back and he had quantum fuel and ammo in the boxes so we could land, rearm, refuel, and then go back out. And we just went and did loads of the ⁓ PVE missions. So we were just flying in, there was like a hammerhead, and then we would jump, we'd deploy the Furies at the back. The ⁓ T Louis would go and hold down the fault and tank the damage. Cause it's got four size four for the pilot, so it can do some damage. ⁓ Mako had four deadbolts and we killed a hammerhead in about two or three minutes with the two Furies and the ⁓ and the the T Louis. So yeah, man, it's ⁓ it's good. It it does its job really well. So yeah, I've got no real complaints. I like it. I really like it. Interesting point though from Madog on YouTube. ⁓ given the Rayland's cargoes on the outside, the hangar would have been quite interested if it was on the outside for the T Louis. ⁓ if it was like an internal core and then you landed the ships on the outside and you you've got like port Olusar style ⁓ pads. ⁓ that'd have been yeah, that could have been pretty cool. ⁓ anything you don't like about Eva Ships before we move on to the next feature? Pete price. See, I love the price because I had a couple of CCUs to do Railon. Don't get me wrong, I have CCUs, but yeah. I would loved an extra five dollars on the ⁓ on the the railing. ⁓ just cause it sits at C two level. So now you have to compare the Railon to a C two. carry vehicles or not. Do you want to carry vehicles? Do you want carry more cargo? It would be cool if the railing protected. You know the railon tucks up? It does the old little the you dunno guerrilla arms. Can we can we cap can we can we clip that? You just sit before we go the you know the Railan. Yeah. He's flying away. What I love about it is the arms tuck under What you could have is another version of it, like the T Louis, where the bottom, rather than is like a big hangar, has a ramp that comes down and becomes a vehicle carrier. Would be really cool. I would love I would love a vehicle drop off the I would like I'd like a vehicle carrier version of it. It would be pretty sweet. ⁓ Yeah. I would love a ship that it carried things and then you could jettison cargo the way we were talking and it drops vehicles off like an ⁓ like a pelican, a halo pelican dropping off tank. Ickies and tanks, yeah. I would then love the prowler utility with Icties and you could just fly in a or I'm not gonna go too much into it 'cause it's a leak, but the guys in the heavy, heavy combat armor with the Gatling gun, and then you drop loads of them off from from low sort of We've covered this before. We said we we'd like the Valkyrie and then when they were talking about the Asgard and we were like, Okay, but is this gonna be the one where it doesn't have the rear section at the back? And then when we were looking at the the Medivac, they've got the shackle points that we see on vehicles we have in the military today to be low loaded. And when we did a bit of digging, the devs were just like we like the look of them. No, this is no, no, we need ⁓ something like this. Yeah. Because then you can Really go in depth, you can really plan your squad out, you can get them loaded into the vehicle before pick them up, and then you can hot drop them and not have to worry about them getting in and out and stuff. And you just be like, Yeah, okay, we're gonna hot drop you. Go, go, go. That'd be really cool, man. Be amazing. I've tried hot dropping tanks. I I did it with the Asgard when it came out. I hot dropped car in a tank from about twenty meters from the ground. And he hit the ground and went full red. You'd just be like you'd be like Buzzin' Woody releasing RC into the back of the van. Yeah. Let's be that drop ⁓ buff, let's go. It would be like like Dune has it. Dune effectively has a way to undersl undersling vehicles, doesn't it? 'Cause you can fly the the the cop, I don't know what they're called, but you can pick up like the ⁓ spice mining ships and fly off of them. And it's just all it doesn't need to be magic. Like it doesn't need to like mental like game mechanics. It can just be you fly over it, it gives you a hologram to say, Do you want to collect? And you just go snap done and fly off. ⁓ or have it gravlev, because everything else seems to be gravlev. ⁓ and it just picks the ships up and goes. But I don't know. ⁓ I think we've waffled on and we need to get the next feature out in twelve minutes. Before we do, obviously we've called this episode Alien Tax and Schnacks. But ⁓ do you wanna bring up the is there a page for it on the community? But basically they're running a community challenge right now, aren't they? ⁓ recreating alien food or creating something that could be alien. have you guys got any ⁓ inklings on getting in the kitchen? It's some red food dial, nothing. No, I've appealed to you. I've physically set fire to pasta. So food is out of my remit. No, but we we we've missed a trick here, chaps. We should Is this still gonna be running as of next week? Maybe. Next Sunday, should we do alien themed cocktails? Forget food. Can't be dealing with food. Alien themed cocktails? Next week you'll join me in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah. Let's let's do something alien rated next week. ⁓ can't find that page though. Sorry, chat and audience and Spotify. I can't find the page of talking about Pete with the event. That's fine. I was trying to pull it up though. Well, on it'll be on the homepage somewhere. Anyone in chat that's interested, you can win ships. And there's ⁓ three alien ships I think up to grabs. I'm assuming a Raylan, T. Louis, and a Sulun. I think is it the Craft Challenge? Yes. Okay, got it. Got it. Yeah, we'll we'll very quickly look at this while Pete's putting up the ⁓ concierge. That wasn't even me this time. You said the words. ⁓ But yeah, so here it is. This is the ⁓ the ⁓ the the challenge, the craft challenge as we've just been discussing. And the three prizes you mentioned are yeah, ⁓ a T Louis, a Raylan, and a Santoc Y. So pretty good and they all come with paint as well. Which is pretty nice. Yeah, also. Go on the home page and you can find that and it takes you to Spectrum. So get involved. Maybe we yeah, we'll we'll we'll submit our cocktails. Yeah. Is it too small? Quantum dispatch bevs. Quantum dispatch bevs. Yeah, and it's it's not just food, it's art props, models. So yeah. ⁓ CRG mentioned pilot slave turrets to the Rayland via flight bait. Oof. Oof. Well I don't know. Why until ⁓ when we see some actual bona f bona fide ⁓ what's it word? ⁓ the some gen. If we once we get some gen, then we all we can have that deliberation over that. But yeah. Alright. I okay. Alright, if you're on YouTube, pause it. Alright, we're moving on. You can pause Twitch now apparently. ⁓ Fair. Don't do it. Do it after. Pause the VOD. ⁓ Yeah, so we moving on yeah? Yep. So The time has comeeth. Let's move on to the next feature that we have laxed ⁓ like we've we've not done recently, but we we will be doing it more regularly. It's the concierge challenge. I thought you were gonna do that. It's the concierge challenge. I forgot, I've got the long version, right? Yeah, I was gonna say as it started as that, ⁓ god, this is going on. This is we're on for the long haul. Right. We like we like ye. Long version. So there's a lot of new people in chat today. There's been a few people, names that I don't recognize. so I'm gonna give a quick rundown on what the concierge challenge is. Very you are given a fictional one thousand USD to spend on the pledge store for any ships that are currently available or available at some point during a normal routine year. So your design ⁓ you're supposed to design a fleet that is a jack of all trades as best as possible. ⁓ you can't use certain ships, like the Mark One Hornets, for example, because they are in their sunset period. You can't buy them. So you cannot routinely buy them. That includes Drake Dragonfly Yellow Jacket, Starkitten, ⁓ Moltalis edition, you know, all the additions of ships or the best in show versions. You can't use those. But then we Rochia Fleet, Chat Roacher Fleet. And then we work out an average and you got a score, and the score is on the ⁓ cotton dispatch ⁓ website. There's a leaderboard. ⁓ yeah. Yeah. Very good. Yeah. Yeah. This is the part where we miss swanky. I mean, fortunately there isn't much of a fleet description. It's just this is what he recommends. ⁓ is fitted the Aurora LX to fit the thousand dollar mark and is there's a description. Have they written something? ⁓ this just a couple of words. Read it out. ⁓ do a voice. Come on. I only fitted the Aurora LX to match the one thousand dollar mark. That's it. So yeah, we're we're not much of a a fleet description. But so what we do have is a thousand dollar fleet, so there has been no wiggle room at all. Good. He's used every single cent of the thousand dollars. For those listening on Spotify, we are looking at a Misc Prospector, a Drake Vulture, a Drake Cutlass Red, a Ursa Medivac, a Constellation Taurus, an RSI Mantis, an Aegis Gladius, and a RSI Aurora LX. This is the Mark One that fits the thirty-five dollars he had left. And he's just managed to get it in before the sunset period. So whilst we're going over this chat and I'm sure the boys are already sort of working it out. Let's let's start getting your thoughts in chat. What would you swap out, remembering that he's used every single cent from his thousand dollars? Why does that Taurus look so stacked? It looks sick. What is it? It does look pretty sick. What is that? A special paint or something? Yeah, it's got really big engines. It's got massive engines. does the Taurus come with the ⁓ snub, the Archimedes? Yeah, I think so. Taurus is the cargo one, isn't it? No, that's the Andromeda ⁓ Andromeda's the fighter. Taurus is the cargo ⁓ then it doesn't. If it's the cargo one, it doesn't come with it. Because it's got the shielded cargo in the back. internal shielded cargo. So no, it doesn't come over it. Okay. ⁓ Okay. And then yeah, okay. Taurus, cool. It can carry the Medivac. I believe it can carry the LX if you need it to. ⁓ Alexis its shuttle. ⁓ what can carry the LX? The Taurus, I would I reckon it can carry. Yeah, okay, so ⁓ Mad Dog said it doesn't. ⁓ but I don't know. But then again, the Medavac, it'll fit the Medevac in there. ⁓ Mantis is a new one. I've not seen that on the Concierge Challenge yet. I like it. Yeah, they've got the quantum interdiction of when you want to be a bold person. ⁓ the best quantum interdiction in the game to this day. Still because it's practically the only. ⁓ there is others. There is others, but it's that's the only one that could physically pull you out of ⁓ quantum. ⁓ yeah, and it has the largest range in quantum dampener. Yes. I think it's is it three kilometers in the mantis? I can never remember, but I know it's the biggest. I think the next nearest one is the I wanna say the Guardian QI. Yeah, the the QI and the blue, I believe, and the ⁓ there's another one, I forget. ⁓ but they've all got like three K ranges. That's what I'm thinking. Three K, got ya. But the twenty K, yeah. Mad that the Mantis has that. I and I love it. I think that's a very good I think I said this in the last video, ironically, that the Mantis is a slept on ship. It is so good and an something you need in every in every group of players that are doing anything combat related, especially if you're doing piracy or bounty hunting or or anything. I I always opt to have one person on the squad in a mantis personally. Yeah. ⁓ yeah, cool. ⁓ do you two guys have have points? The jump out point for me is that he's double hatted on the medical gameplay. ⁓ I'm in two minds whether I'm gonna let this one slide or let it stand, because if you want to put the Medivac in with the Taurus and go off on the mission sound, you're covering that. So he's got like mobile medivac med mobile medical gameplay as well as the dedicated dedic ⁓ Gameplay with the colours red. What's the price difference between the red and the blue? But then you've got the mantis. Why do you need the blue? Because then you can actually take the bounty. You've got space in the mantis. Yeah, but they've got the dedicated chambers, haven't they? True. But as of right now though, we've got to talk about the game as it is, right? Yeah. So future proofing is is something they they can score on. Fine. Yeah, it's a good point. I d I don't know what the what is the price difference between the blue and the red. It can't be much. Twenty no. I don't even know. I think it's like twenty, twenty bucks. Twenty I'll tell you right now, hopefully. Might be more, you know. Might be like fifty. But I I I get what you mean, right? So with the mantis, so we're looking at this as as a fleet that could do everything as an individual, right? Or do as much as you can as an individual. We're not looking at combining with an org. You have a mantis. Yes, you can interdict that person, but you cannot get them. You have two size twos, I believe. Or is it two size ones? No, it's two size twos. You're not going to be killing anybody with those. Especially the way that armor penetration works now. I the mantis is fast. It's very, very quick. But you have to orbit ships so fast to be able to stop ⁓ stop them from running away and then k kill their shields. I again I would go with the cutlass blue, ⁓ because it has that ⁓ interviction capability. but it also has good firepower. It also has the pods, so you can take cargoes. I would then obviously drop the cutlass red, ⁓ annoyingly, as much as of a Drake fan I am. ⁓ there is enough money in this budget to have a red. ⁓ especially when you've got a Medivac you can put in the back of the Taurus does practically the same thing. I know the the thing, the the prices are different. I I'm missing a ground vehicle. Like I you know there's the Medivac, but the pulse or something like that. ⁓ we've seen a pulse in every fleet or an ATLS or something that can do transition between bunkers to the like you're not going to drive a Medivac like 2K ⁓ to a bunker because it's got turrets. You might. But I don't know. ⁓ that how don't know how you guys feel about that. Sorry, Mike the Vikes to kind of tickle me pink with his like Nino lights. Yeah. It's the cool factor you can't put a price on that. He he's right, he's right. we've had a couple of pretty solid suggestions which sort of like involves dropping to cut your red because you've already got the medivac, which fits in the Taurus, so he's got the tick in the box for medical gameplay. Then you've got The option of taking up ground mining, propos it props possibly upgrade the LX for an Avenger stalker for the bounty cell. Yeah. So I mean they're g they're good suggestions. I I I would probably going off the I know I was saying how good the Mantis is and I still stand by that, but I do agree with what you said, CJ, we do have to gauge this as a solo player's fleet, not as a a group. And with the mantis I mean, you can kill people of size twos if you have deadbolts, you will be able to still kill ⁓ but they would have to be in something that was not in much ca n doesn't have much capabil capability of fighting back. ⁓ so The Mantis is definitely like a support ship in regards to ⁓ yeah, piracy or bounty hunting or etc, etc. ⁓ so I do I would agree with you there, which means you could get rid of the mantis, which would be $150 back in. You could then drop the cutty red, ⁓ which was $135. And then that would get and then get a cutty blue, which is $175. ⁓ I would also drop the Aurora LX. I know we we we like to mark up for having the originality of the Auroras. So I get that. Some but I think having that $35 to play with does mean that you do have some options. ⁓ so I would probably yeah, I'd probably get rid of the mantis, get rid of the red, get rid of the LX, which would give you a total of three hundred and twenty to play with. Take away the one seven five of the cutty blue. You've still got a hundred and forty five to explore ⁓ another gameplay loop. So you could go for science. You could go for another couple of ground vehicles. So maybe the Mantis wasn't and and the red is not a great shout because as we as you mentioned, we've already got the medical gameplay from the Medivac. There are more ways that you could finesse that that finance ⁓ of as I said, $145 left over to sp to play with. And still having every gameplay loop covered they've currently got covered. But what would what would fit into that, I wonder? What could you get for $145? What would you guys do if you if that was if that was what you were playing with? well $145 has a lot of things in there. He could hit racing with obviously the Razor, at one four five. ⁓ it's also one of the stealthiest ships in the game. Go for a ground vehicle. We can go for ⁓ some things that we haven't seen yet. So ⁓ D Cs, ⁓ for ground vehicle, ⁓ Sort of like protection. No one's done, I don't think, MDC yet. ⁓ and then you could potentially go for a tonk, which would be a terrible choice here because obviously you can't carry it. ⁓ but then like ballista and stuff like that for for a lot of ground vehicle based stuff within that price. ⁓ so I mean it's all situational, but I I I believe we should have we Again, I'm going back to the we needed a pulse or we needed a dragonfly or something in there. ⁓ I would agree Aurora Lex would go. I would personally replace that with a cutlass, not cutlass, cutter. ⁓ and then prospector to a golem. There is there is almost no reason to have a prospector over a golem. ⁓ Until you bag space, isn't it? Bag space, but you have to modify it. It's not doesn't come stock with more cargo. So you have to then get the mole bags into the prospector for it to carry more cargo, I think. ⁓ but the golem has a bespoke head, but it can carry two modules. It has higher power ⁓ than the prospector ones. The the Pittman has higher power output than the other ones. So I think the better one would be the Gollum. And again, would then save you a lot more money. ⁓ and then you could get your your cutter in there and and whatnot. But then if you do take your hundred and thirty five, did you swap the prospector for the golem in your So if you if you switch the go ⁓ the prospector for the golem, yeah, it gives you an extra ninety five dollars on top of that one four five you already had. Yep. And do you know what you needed for an extra five dollars, which would make this fleet so much better? And you could drop the Ursa Medivac and the Cutlass Red. The ⁓ The I forgot it now. The Drake ⁓ exploration crafter. Drake exploration crafter. Yeah, you can get the clipper instead. ⁓ then you've got crafting in there. You've now got a medbed in there as well. ⁓ Yeah. I mean personally that's what I would have done. Yeah. Yeah, I see that. There's no crafting in that fleet. You've got all the the the needs to get it, but there's no crafting. Yeah. Yeah. Hyperion was like clip eye, ew, you made me type it. it's because you're a Drake fan. Yeah. ⁓ there's a lot of like this is this is the only thing obviously said he's he's used like Claude to help develop this fleet. But Claude doesn't give you the personality in the fleet, doesn't give you the perspectives, it just goes, ⁓ these are the best for these situations where we're not looking for the best. Best in slot. But not just not necessarily as a solo player, yeah. Yeah. Are we deducting points for the use of AI? Mm. I'm gonna say no because it's a data analysis tool. Yeah. ⁓ and he's also gonna lose points already because he's used AI and it's giving him the wrong answer. Yeah. This would this would teach future competitors, don't use AI. Yeah. Why not add points? That's not how this works, Chief. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ⁓ But yeah, going through that, if you had the clipper, if we did everything we s we went we both agreed on CJ and you got the clipper, you'd still have ninety dollars to play with. You could get that pulse and something else. Yeah. ⁓ MDC. I I think it's what sixty sixty dollars? Yeah. ⁓ MDC, fifty dollars. Yeah. You could you could get there's loads you could do with that, to be fair. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I I mean how much is the is it the make or the The science, so that's ninety five cent. Yeah, currently I think I'm sitting on a six. The more I think about it, there's no racing involved, there's no science involved, there's no meaningful bounty. Obviously, you can interdict people, pull people out of quantum, but you ain't doing much ⁓ with that. And then you wanna go down the realms of it, there's reporting, which you can't do anyway. There's a lot of gameplay loops that would be missed. and then there's a couple of synergies that are missing in in my eyes. You've got the Taurus to carry tons of cargo, but that's that's all it does, really. Like you can carry that all that cargo. You can fit the Medivac in it, sure. But that's that's it as far as it goes. There's no pulse or small ⁓ vehicle for moving around. ⁓ and then there's no crafting, or you've got minimal crafting with a vulture. ⁓ but I think that only makes small tools for salvage based stuff. There's a lot of missed opportunities out. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with six six at the minute, and I might tweak it a little bit as as as you guys throw some points out. Do want to go next Pete or do you me to take it? You go next because the one I was lining up afterwards, I was like, I'm so sure he's done one, I've just checked the leaderboard and he has already done a fleet, so we'll have to have to set up someone else's. I mean we're already over an hour, so. Yeah, we're we'll have to call it tonight, but for the next one. Okay. Alright, we'll leave us. Or yeah, good point. ⁓ I would say six I think is a bit harsh. ⁓ the fact they they hit the one thousand dollar thing is ⁓ you know, that that keeps that point from being deducted and I think that's quite a big thing, so a lot of people don't do that. I don't think the fleet's a bad fleet, the ships that are there are good, but I think with the things that we mentioned and the changes we take p we would put in, I usually try and deduct half a point for the every change I would do. And Think I would personally keep the Prospector because I do like it ⁓ over the Gollum personally. I like the fact that it is upgradable. That is something I do take into consideration. The fact that you can upgrade it to be better. It has a higher ceiling than the golem. So I would keep the Prospector, Gladius, Vulture, best in slot, Mantis goes, Cutty Red goes. That's two ships that are gone. And the Aurora LX goes. So that's already a point and a half just on those changes. And I think you could have re jigged it so. I don't think this is a that bad of a fleet compared to last week. Sorry to whoever the whoever this was last week, but they w the last episode was not a good one. I'm gonna go in a seven. I think this is a seven for me. I think that is a reasonable score. There is a lot that could change, and if we made the changes it would probably be yeah, higher to h closer to eight point five nine, but yeah, this is a seven for me. And again to agree with you, CJ, there's a couple of gameplay loops that have been missed entirely. So yeah, seven out of ten. So now that the button's been handed on to me, it's gonna look really unoriginal if I go for a six point five. It's gonna be like, ⁓ he's just you know, he just wants to do this appear like he's in the middle. I'm leaning towards a five point five six, ⁓ combined for I n I know, I know I feel it's a bit harsh myself. ⁓ But the use of AI to put together a flea it it sort of removes that human edge. It removes your personality and it just goes, use this. And we know that there's at least one other person who attained a reasonably high score. We just couldn't prove it. But you've just outed yourself in chat and just gone, ⁓ yeah, I use Claude and stuff. ⁓ this is all like so it's subjective between the boys and me. We all have our different different things. I don't see a dedicated like box runner. I you could say you cut this red, but it's not what I would consider a taxi. So I'd be looking for something like an Avenger. ⁓ you could say Vulture as well, but it's like the why are you six seven then? CJ. There's grid of score. ⁓ yeah, ⁓ so ⁓ Don't don't hate on me for my score. ⁓ I'm I'm gonna join CJ on on a six. I feel like there's you know, you're double hatted with the medical gameplay. We've missed out on dedicated bounty. There's no real sort of like there's no ground mining, so there's no rock miner. I know I mean George hasn't brought it up, but I know that's one of his things that he likes to see in the fleet. Mm-hmm. It just there's it seems to be just I I wanna I wanna see your fleet. So anyone that's watching or listening to this on Spotify and goes, ⁓ I'm gonna go over to Content Dispatch website and put my just test yourself. Like it doesn't have to be that we'll review it on here. We've got a massive backlog. At this point it's like any mini money mo. We pick someone to go, okay, yours is gonna be on later. We don't even look at it at this point. When we bring it up, this is where we first have a look. So we don't have any sort of preconceived feelings or thoughts about it. We don't pre plan. We don't discuss someone's fleet before we go live. So it wants to be this flash, like up on screen, you know And then we're we're grading it. ⁓ yeah, I I'm sat on the six. Sorry if you feel that it's harsh, but yeah, this is the way the cookie crumbles tonight. And so now we pass it over to chat. I'm gonna jump in and alter my score. So I was going to put it up because the mantis, it's original, it's it's a ship we've not seen. But then I've also gone back and thought there was no description. There's no description. Claude chose it. Yeah, so there was no description. And it's one of those things for me where like and I'm not like CIG. If you send a nine hundred and ninety nine word essay in there, I'm gonna read it and you're gonna get reviewed on it. You're not just gonna get a blanket cool well done, you're part the club. So ⁓ drop me to a six point five. I forgot about the no description. I'm gonna do a five point seven. I'm gonna drop it just a point three. Just a little bit. It's still over the halfway mark. ⁓ I don't I can't I can't drop it down to a five point five. ⁓ yeah. I just yeah, again the description and and this is also part obviously I know that Kobe, I believe English isn't your first language. So I can understand writing a big thing is is going to be difficult. But we'd make it out. And we'd we'd make it yeah, we'd make it work. We'd go through. To be fair, chat, you you could have asked Claude to write you a f a two hundred words. And we would never would have known. Yeah, yeah. Claude would have done it. Claude, but you just had to ask him. ⁓ okay. Chat, can we get some more scores? Anyone else wanna weigh in a score out of ten? We've got only two at the moment. There's people chitting and chatting. Drop some ⁓ four. Probably Elritic. Okay. So we got four, we've got six. Screamer with a six point three. Yeah. Seven point five from Equidimus. Orbital, we did. We absolutely did data. In fact, we were talking about yours earlier. Yeah, we were. What about AI generation? man loves some AI. They do need to be a Iperion is just playing the hero here, isn't he? Coming in with an eight point ⁓ No origin. So I know this is a fake score. I might up my score. I might I might I might actually up my score because it has no origin. ⁓ I'll caveat your lower mark. ⁓ but that might actually be really interesting. I'll tell you what we'll do is we'll I'll use Claude to review the fleet and give it a one out ⁓ one out of ten. Do it live. But yeah, using Claude to change the Star Lancer Max, the Starlancer Max would have fitted a bit better, I think, in this in this sort of fleet. ⁓ but I don't I don't know. That's me. But Drop me to a six point five piece Pete because I thought the description that was ⁓ that's half a point off at all. Also gotta remember it hit the one thousand USD spot on. So Yeah. I I left some points in for that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. ⁓ any more in chat? Any more in chat? Any more for any more? Declan says ⁓ Hate using first names. E Evo says, ⁓ I just ⁓ wrote my description. You better read every word and every bit of punctuation there is after you just said that. We will. We will. Cool. ⁓ yeah, make sure I'm reading that one with my monotone boring voice. Alright, let me add up the the chat score time has ended and we have an average of drum roll. ⁓ hang on, got rid of my calculator. Six point one from chat, an average of six point one. Okay. So I have I have the lowest mark of the day. No, CJ. I got the lowest mark. Fine because you changed yours, didn't you? Yeah. I had to pip you a little bit. I had to be more critical. 'Cause it's only two Drake ships. Which is an average score between all of our scores in chat of six point one. So chat had it bang on. Well done, everyone in chat. That was ⁓ that was a bang on mark. So I think we was all we actually, funnily enough, we all averaged around the same mark. We all were between five five and a half and six and a half. So that is a a good a good good going team. Good going. And that will teach you no one else use AI in their s concierge challenge. Well if you do, don't don't just blately like at least at least get Claw to write a two hundred word paragraph. I am gonna I am gonna caveat these guys here. Using AI is fine. Yeah. I know I know there's a entire ecosystem of people that are anti AI because they go all my data's being stolen. When ninety-nine percent of the time it's not because anything AI generated is normally on GitHub as a public repo. You can see it if your information was getting stolen, then then you you can tell. ⁓ Yeah, you can use AI if you want. Yeah. It was actually the it was wasn't it was more the description not being there. I would have I would have liked a a paragraph, but to be fair I don't know if Kobe's first language is English and if it isn't, then but it's but you still could have used AI to write it. I don't know. I'm in the mid I'm I'm I'm middling a bit, but I wanted a bit more, but just a little bit more. Yeah. So yeah. ⁓ I don't chat as well. ⁓ if you want to submit your own fleet, go to www.quantum dispatch dot co dot uk, log in with Discord, and then under your Discord profile icon, you will then be able to create your fleet. Go through that. ⁓ I do need to add the two alien ships in there. So if you want to use them, then don't do it right now. But give me an hour. And then submit your ⁓ 1000 USD fleet and we will rate it or roast it. And I think we need to do some recorded stuff to get some of the fleets out of the way. ⁓ a lot of the smaller fleets. But yeah. ⁓ I have no more further points, mental jump. That was a g it was a it was a good fleet. There was some good stuff in there for sure. And ⁓ yeah. The Mantis was an unfortunate mistake, purely because it's from a solo point, but it is a fantastic ship, so I just think it would have worked better in a slightly different configuration. Right. I think we're good to go. Do you wanna stop screen sharing Pete and we should rippity wrap on up? Great. ⁓ yeah, thank you everyone. Thank you very much for tuning in to this week's episode of the Quantum Dispatch. Please don't forget that if you head over to Verpal Control's website, they have three websites wherever you are in the world, and use code Quantum5 at checkout, you get five percent off of any Verpal Controls peripherals, which are the best darn joysticks on the market, in our opinion. Also, if they have a salon already, let's say 20%, and you use our code, it's an extra five percent on top. So you get 25% total. Absolutely worth checking out the website and seeing if there's anything that tickles your pickle. Boys, anything else to add to that? No, ⁓ you have me at ticklin' pickles. So yeah. Whatever potential drive. Yeah, yeah. Perfect. All right. Thank you very much, everybody, and we will see you next week, which we I'm sure will be a very exciting week. And we will we're gonna make some sort of alien. Alien level cocktails, I think. I think we'll do alien cocktails next week. And if anyone of Legal Drinking Age wants to play along, they absolutely can. Mocktails. Mocktails, if you yeah. For the sake for the sake of Twitch mocktails. Yeah, yeah, mocktails. Okay. With that, we'll see you all again this time next week. And yeah. Ciao for now. Ciao for now.
