I would be tempted to get one if I did not already have one!
New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer
- Thread starter Montoya
- Start date
Another awesome trailer by CIG. Almost like Chris Roberts made movies or somethin!
"Combat Perfected... until we nerf it after launch." - CIG
I learned last night that after the Scorpius officially was released into the Verse, the original creator & designer of both the X-Wing & Death Star passed away at 90. Rest in peace good sir & thanks.
I dig that geometric base mug the dude is using.
I wonder if his coffee has been Irish enhanced. lols

Ooooh. What’s that ship at the 0:18 mark?

My only gripe is why did they have the Scorpius launch out of the Bengal with its wings forward I'd thought it would be safer to have them swept back until clear of the ship.
So glad to have one and I cannot wait until I can slave the remote turret to the pilot.

Given we now know the Scorpius has no cabin as originally thought, I can't see a reason to prefer it over a pair of Sabres, etc. I'd love to entertain opposing views. Why put two players in a ship they can't eat, sleep and poop in? What's the advantage?
A pair of Sabres would seem to me more durable, harder to hit, more shielding, offer stealth and twice the missile load. Same range, guns, number of players.

Speculation ahead....
May boil down to logistics, and cost of upkeep. One fighter will always be cheaper to maintain than two. Also (I'm not sure at the moment), if they added the ability for the gunner to act as a RIO (Radar intercept officer) that would take some workload off the pilot, designate targets and maybe handle CM's.
Also having said that regarding RIO's "if" maybe in the future we finally get to see "AI blades" get used to slave remote turrets to pilot control, then having a RIO could be useful without losing firepower. If needed the RIO could take over control of the turret during combat. Dunno, like I said speculation. Oh and also into future consideration at some point we could hire or use NPC crew, so that would help also.
My gosh... if they have vanguard wings may Brandon or the Queen (for you folks over the pond) save us all!
Look, we all know they put the best ship in the trailer and it wasn't the Scorpius!
Yes, it's the awe inspiring Bengal carrier that the Scorpius fighters are heading into the fray from within.
Id love to see the Kraken show up for a surprise visit on the Bengal's path, on Drake day.

I'm disappointed we didn't see something like a Vanduul Marauder. It's too long since we've seen some Vanduul ships.
