Its such a cool wee ship. I do wish they would give snubs a size 0 quantum drive for getting around a planet and to low orbit though.
I absolutely agree. Just give it a tank that allows it to do little hops from surface to orbit. I flew an Argo Cargo at an IAE and tried to go from NB spaceport to the Commons and I ended up giving up after repeatedly overheating while crawling along. lol
Did the same with the MPUV-T yesterday from Area 18 to Bajini. That took some timeeee 😂
Doesn't even have to be QT, just make it lose power to shields ( in the other snubs case weapons) to at least get a little speed boost
this tbh
Just want to point out: in some circumstances (I say some as we don't know how likely this will be), acquiring the personnel pod could be the result of a rescue mission: it's literally an escape pod for the Idris/Javlin.
That's what the Personnel intended to show: the MPUV can pick up large escape pods and bring them to its parent ship (while it has one equipped, it can be used as a ferry). The Cargo shows it can pick up a cargo pod filled with supplies, and transfer them to its parent ship. Now, with the T, we see how it is intended to ferry things around a cargo dock, and load/unload ships with exterior cargo (Hull series, Arrastra, Orion, etc).
They're all the same ship, just with different equipment attached for the different use cases envisioned. I do wish they were more open to other use cases though (repair tool that can be used when it's loaded with a crate of RMC, hose that can be used when it's loaded with a crate of fuel/water, etc).
For me I would say if you want to pay an $10 for an Invictus flight jacket as part of your LTI token then go for it otherwise get the pulse.
I think you're right sometime in the future they will sell just the MPUV and then you add whatever attachments you want.
Really wish it could put a 32SCU box on it's belly, even if it sticks way out. Seems like that's going to be the standard, large haul cargo box. So it'll only be able to move 1 box at a time instead of 2 (one on belly and one on tractor beam)
Can't wait to be a forklift certified IRL and in SC!
I don't have any practical experience with this ship loading cargo, but it seems to me, that it would have made more sense to have the larger tractor at the back, where the cargo goes, as the front seem,s more like an auxiliary tractor. No doubt, it will get combined into a single model once they add it to the modularity system, as those pods are currently fixed.
Youngblood- you got it, I believe. The MPUV is the Multipurpose platform, same thing eventually. Heck, the personnel version is an escape raft similar to the 890J or Javelin ones. Since the MPUV is supposed to be used in rescue of those escape pods.
Thanks for Clarifying that standard MPUVs will also get the Tractor Attachment in due time.
Cheeky move of CIG to release a "Varient" that basically just allows you to have Tractor beam on MPUV Sooner than those who already own standard versions 😅
I'll make sure I have this ship for my Hull E in the future got big plans.
Probably worth it if one wants to work at a distribution center off-loading cargo ships or moving stuff in a DC from point A to point B.
Personally, I think these ships will someday be "parasite" ships on the larger container ships... Looking at the design, it appears to have "docking ports" on the back... in other words, instead of extending landing gear, it would keep them up and then slide into a sort of docking "slot" that has a port for you to enter the container ship.... but I could be wrong, it just looks like something that should be more like a parasite.
Interesting thought process
I snagged one to try to use during the cargo rework it will eventually be in my ironclad
They could make a jumpdrive pod so you can be a forklift operator for hire, one day you are in Microtech and somebody in Daymar needs assistance, just pop your QT drive and head there, detach it, do the job and then reattach it to head back home.
Glad to see you're back in the saddle covering Star Citizen!
Awesome review as always TYVM
Why would the beam on the back be smaller?
Also the Hull-C should have some way to carry one of these or something similar. I'll like a small "motorcycle" like loader that is just an open seat with a size 2 tractor beam on it that we can take with us for cargo loading. Like the small forklifts rather than this that is more like a front loader or tractor
With modularity now apparently functional, CIG is getting rid of all the ship variants that are the same ship but with a different module. So for example there is no more Retaliator and Retaliator Bomber, just one single Retaliator which can be equipped with torpedo bomber modules. If you pledged for the bomber variant, the modules are included with your pledge, otherwise you will have to buy them in-game.
The MPUV is the same story. There is only going to be a single MPUV, no variants. The MPUV can be equipped with a pod or with tractor beams and if you pledged for it, then you get a pod or the tractor beams included with the pledge.
Great video!
They’re so cool looking
I’m so glad you’re still doing these should you buy videos. My whole fleet decisions are based off your videos.
I think your prediction about how the MPUV line will develop sounds pretty realistic. We are basically seeing an example for that very outcome with the Retaliator right now. But i wont give up hope that there will eventually also be a (special) loadout for it that can do short quantum jumps
A hreat idea for a cargo load master snub, if it fit in say a midium cargo ship to move from location to location would be a great ingame support job loop. Pirates could use it for looting ships faster, recovery contracts for downed haulers, or just station work with Hull C loading. If Hull C cargo worked reliably and hand loading was a thing. As is, I would take a 315p or C1 as a loader over this for what is available in game and if a tractor beam was needed. And no tractor beam size is more than an SRV.
I think based on things said in the last SCL about modularity what will happen is the same as the Retaliator now that it has it's modularity. People with the cargo and personnel version will have their pledge converted to be this new base MPUV with bundled modules of either type. This is based off them talking about not yet having the type of modularity that they need for the MPUV (attaching and detaching modules yourself and now via vehicle manager). For it's value because of some of the ships I own when personal hangars come out I'm going to have a capital hangar, this might be useful in that hangar size, if not it's a LTI token for me... probably still will be one once you can buy in game, I expect it to be dirt cheap.
Got one to pair with the Ironclad one day. 💪🏻
In the long run it will most likely be like the Avenger.
It will be modular and have tractor beams and can swap pods later on.
This ship could be useful if CIG would make a mission that allowed us to haul all the ships off the landing areas. Give us a mission that has us cleaning up the server from all the abandon ships.
It so reminds me of the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane, for Star Citizen.
You could always tow it with an SRV while it carries 16SCU. The SRV can carry 12SCU, so 28SCU cargo capacity
Thanks!
FAST
IMO, if we assume ship mounted tractor beams will be the go-to way of transfering cargo between ships, then the 315p could do that job while being viable in other ways.
Perfect speculation combined with facts keep me viewing these SYB vids. 👍
"In the future" often means 2.5+ years, so I think your advice on what it offers *now* is quite useful.
I really wanted to get one of these cool little guys but I realized I would have no use for it lol. Maybe once we get the cargo changes or if we're ever able to be a dock jockey for other players lol
Can i use mpuv to pull the ship scattered arround the outpost in to the verse? Helping SC to clean up. Nowadays theres so many ship parking everywhere.
LTI token, although the pulse is cheaper right now
0:39 it has lti, at least mine does
It's a cool ship but really needs a short range q-drive to be anything more than a station-bound forklift.
If bigger ships had a dedicated hangar for one of these it might be another matter but as far as I know none of the cargo ships has. And taking up cargo space to bring one of these isn't worth it either.
Hmmm... I wonder what happened to the idea of cargo containers getting loaded/unloaded by drones or by their own,
integrated mobility system, as once mused upon.
Can it carry a MOAB?
Agree it’s a buy in game like ground vehicles 🎉
I got it for my galaxy
When the gameplay is implemented? Yes, if you have like a hull c
Okay, why wouldn't this just be the base MPUV frame?
It is.
Keep in mind, the top speed is 115ms, you cannot go into nav mode as it has no quantum drive, so there is even less reason to own one.
lol just combine all three to one ship. People that purchased the cargo or personal get same ship without the tractors . The tractors can be bought . And the Argo tractor can buy the cargo or personnel containers
Isn't this just a srv but for cargo?
General advise on the question "should I give someone money if it does not improve my life" is "no".
here's my question, why would some one buy any of the two other argo variants ? this one cas use their modules AND has the tractor beams, while the other can use change their modules too, they don't have the tractor beams
don't get it
should have made it 64 scu bc i doubt people are gona have the nerve to load a hull series using anything but the biggest boxes
I can not see the point in any of the MPUV's none of them do anything to of been worth the time to even add in to the game. There to slow moving around no Quant and more or less every other ship can do there roles better. You need a tractor beams you have a wide choice of ships and all of them are flat out better and if you need to move people almost every ship is better outside light fighters clearly. The Cutlass is going to have double front tractor beams so much better at loading a Hull C+ and at the same time holds enough cargo and people to be useful outside of cargo moving. The only reason to buy this is for the LTI IF you think that is worth it knowing you likely wont be playing long enough to make it worth it over say 10 years insurance or by that point would make so much in game money it becomes moot.
Waste of a Young bloods time :D but great video anyhow :D
Have you figured out yet that buying designs means you are locked into a place in the development cycle where CIG is incentivized to supercede the design you bought?
imagine playing a space fantasy game, paying lots of money and out of the everything you can be, you choose to be a laborer.
KEKW
Total waste when you can move bigger containers with handheld tractors and have ships that can hold bigger containers and are faster to fairy containers
NOPE !
It’s slimy and useless cash grab.
The answer is NO! Stop feeding the cash cow or the game will never come out!
Ah yes, because if CIG runs out of funding and can't pay their developers or hire new people anymore, that will definitely mean the game is getting finished sooner. They totally won't run into issues and be forced to cancel the whole project because they can't afford continued development.
@@jodofe4879 they got a billion dollars funding. More than any developer ever
Why didn't they just release this when modularity is FULLY done. Because this thing would have been a cheap prime example of a modular ship.
From what I get, modularity is fully done for this ship. It is just the other MPUV variants and their pods that need to be reworked. I am pretty sure CIG stated that the systems for modularity are now fully working, it is just a matter of having to rework all of the already released ships to be compatible with the new tech. And that takes a lot of time.
