Is the Polaris worth Shipping?

I think his comparison between Polaris and Carrack (yes, I have one) is correct. I'm not alone with that, as I think CIG views it that way too. People will use this ship, similar to the Carrack in these ways: Hangar, Medbed, Cargo/Vehicles In the current game, even getting a Hammerhead fully manned doesnt work. Meaning, even if you have the people, the game lacks the fluidity and stable play to use the Hammerhead as intended. Anyone who disagrees clearly hasnt played the game with an Org or ran multi-crewed ship combat. The Polaris, or really any large combat ship, wont be used for Combat for quite a long time. For the next 24-36 months, the Polaris will be a glorified Carrack.

Little issue at 2:45, the interior concept video is overlaying the size comparison website you are showing in the background.

your disclaimer about "this is not a beginner ship video" I remember in 2018 being new to SC and watching beginner ship videos and coming across a Polaris video and thinking "I must have this ship" and about dying when I saw the price tag. (I think I only had a $50 Titan then) I have my $50 discounted Polaris CCU in hand. just need to unmelt a Carrack first.

I think there is not a real ship you can compare the Polaris to at this moment. - Hammerhead (115m) is an Anti-Fighter Fleet Support Ship with at max Large components like a Large Shield. - Carrack (126m) is a bespoke Long-Range Military Exploration and Scout vessel with Large components and a Large Shield. - Polaris (166m) is a First strike Fleet Escort and Patrol vessel aimed at combat with Large to Capital Ship combat and even with is small size it has Capital Components like a Capital Shield. So the Polaris with its Capital Shields is almost immune to Fighters, its turrets as said will be up gunned so it can hold its own against bigger ships. You must know that the Polaris is not a tank it is fast and nimble it needs to get into combat range of enemy capital ships unload its Torpedoes and get out of engagement envelop of the enemy ships asap. So it is has heavy fire power in front of the ship to punch true the enemy front line fighters and get to the enemy capital ships. It has very few guns in the back should the Polaris being chased by enemy fighters. Although the Polaris is still in Concept at the moment, and the tuning and changing of the components can still happen. This ship would be awesome if you have friends to play with it really like the Carrack could be a home in space.

Next time, better look for components and stats and take notes BEFORE making an overview & comparison video. This video is so unfocused and all over the place, like when talking about size comparison and having no chart for that in the video at that time.

You can put 6 nova inside ships hangar, i already measured, just use Argo SRV with tractor.

personally i got this ship for free so i think it worth

Why do you keep comparing it to the carrack. The carrack is a dedicated explorer with a map room and drones for exploration. The Polaris explores about as good as any other ship of its size. Sticking a terrapin in it either doesn’t make it a dedicated exploration ship. By that logic all capital ships can be compared to a carrack

Decen overview of the Polaris, but you comparison is a bit lacking. Remember that Polaris is a Capital size ship, and the Carrack is a size Large ship. This will decide wich jump points these ship can use. Thus limiting Polaris movement options between systems. The Carrack also has a bit bigger SCU cargo capacity, and easier access. This will make the Carrack more suitable for deep space exploration. Along with superior fuel capacity in both Hydrogen and Quantum. In short they are not comparable. About a ship being suitable for Solo flying. For the moment and the future, is very hard to determine in this stage of SC development. But bigger the ship, more maintenance with repairing components and refueling/resupplying is needed. But hard to say how much of a difference. Along with the difference of a new just out of the store ship vs a old and battle scared ship. But currently, at this stage of the development almost every ship is able to be used solo. But in the future this will likely not be the case for many multi crew ships :)

I used all credit not cent of cash and I have 2 I wouldn't call it a flagship as I have a Idris-M and Jav too

Javelin has size 12 torpedo

Polaris SCU is 432 as it was recently doubled so not far off from the Carrack's 456. And it will be even better for carring cargo than Carrack most likely due to the new cargo system coming into play soon. And untill the Carrack gets a rework it will be useless for cargo as it will be physicalized and not realistic to get out of the Carrack using tractor beams.

Yes because a lot of work is going into this ship. Compare this for something like a Perseus which is near the same price and it looks like a joke. This ship is over developed.

Allow me to laugh.

You are mistaken when you compare the Polaris and the Carrack. A better comparison would be between Polaris and The Odyssey, but it still needs to be a better comparison since one is a combat ship, and the other two are exploration ships, not combat ships. The Odyssey is a better comparison because both ships have capital components and a hangar for a fighter. In contrast, the Carrack has large components and a hangar for a snub ship.

Apples/oranges. Really stupid to compare it to a Carrack. Stupid.

As someone with a Polaris, Carrack, Hammerhead, Orion, Redeemer, Reclaimer, Pioneer, Retaliator and various fighters for day 1 bounty hunter in my fleet, this game is a scam. Dont support chris robber.
