Sky Captain Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'm in the 'Ugh' camp. I picked one up in the Warbond sale that is still running because of its essential role and my struggle over CCUing another ship for it tomorrow. Without a clear choice, might as well 'save' a hundred dollars I figured. Mighty good rationalization. Doh! https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Standalone-Ships/Consolidated-Outland-Pioneer-Lti-Warbond-VIP But wow, it sure is a typical CIG concept ship. Not much practical game play information beyond it being a base builder. Lots of promise though. Shilo_Rivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Well wouldn't give it to me on a token I'll melt a package then buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldon Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hmmm, very pretty! Basebuilding does start to sound like fun... Might be worth considering after all as a big moneymaker since it will probably come with a ton of cargo cap. In fact, I hope they sell one empty for cheap so I can earn the base building equipment ingame. Provided it has some turrets of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect much practical game play information at all. Well this out of any ship in the game is a "must have" for me - being that I am an architect in real life One of the things I find intriguing with the sale is that it comes with outpost construction material - which is great obviously - but we never get "cargo" when we buy a cargo ship like the Hull series.... or repair materials for the Crucible.... and not even plants for the Bio Domes or farming version of the Endeavor. I thought you would have to purchase the materials........ but essentially they are giving you one free outpost it looks like (my guess is more materials will cost more UEC)..... .............so................... figure that you are not just getting a ship with the concept sale but an outpost (it'll be nice though if they continue to have this for the credit / CCU versions as well) +++++++ quote is interesting below.... and another closer up image of this... and a high res larger version in spoiler... Spoiler +++++++ Now there are only .... might want to pull the trigger..... and I bet they'll do a limited Credit version release as well (if so it will likely go faster) 997 LEFT LOL - 600.000$ in less than two hours (*image below from just a bit before image above and you can see $50k fast) .... and here is the link to the SC Wiki... Pioneer - Star Citizen Wiki .... and now... only 965 LEFT .... actually I have no regrets pulling the trigger since it is really about supporting a game that will shatter all other games... ======= We might want to merge this with the other Pioneer thread - LINK Darius Marx and GRIZZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder though... How did humanity (and those conglomerates) transport/construct outposts in the hundreds of years across several systems before Silas decided to build this brandnew ship.

A Hull series and some bungee straps. I was leaning more towards the 'Adaptable For All Needs' Starfarer and Star-G myself. That thing looks like it could also transport a small prefab outpost and has 10 jumpseats in the cargohold for passengers/settlers Gremlich and GeraldEvans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzlefuse Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 The Pioneer looks great and I think it's safe to assume she's big, slow and will need a lot of support. I doubt you'll see these flying around without an escort Looking forward to supplying our Pioneers with materials! Gremlich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if we will see any variants anytime soon with this ship. My guess is that is specialized and the outpost are specialized (modular specific to this ship) - so UEEN (Navy) outpost or army outposts would be produced by a completely different ship probably previously made by Anvil or Aegis (and players wouldn't have access to the ship). My guess is that this sets up the first outpost ship available to civilians. We will however see many variants of the Crucible which is the closest type of ship to the Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Villder Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'm sitting on this one out because I prefer the mobility... I might get one in-game later on. But congratz to all who bought one! 5 minutes ago, GeraldEvans said: That's a hefty discount at $100. Wonder if there will be variants tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a land-based one and a space/asteroid-based one. Idk it would be a long shot, but having an underwater base builder would be pretty op. Imo this would be a crazy-tier idea, but maybe down the road, the other manufacturers might join the fray and compete in the colonisation market by making their own colonising ships when they realise that the Pioneer has been printing money for Consolidated Outlands. I for one would save up for a colonising ship made by Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - the way CIG set up their outpost (being modular) - I think these outpost will work on planet / asteroid / moon +++ can also be used in space and underwater (independent of its environment). It just means different modules would need to be constructed ....... but I doubt if they would come up with an entirely new type of modular system for another environment. Makes you want to think wisely though on how and where to use the (one) base free materials that comes with the ship (and it will probably be expensive to get more materials).

AstroJak Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Im thinking of this new ship like a giant space 3d printer, where u just input the design of the outpost mod u have, designs being purchased or found, and the pioneer preceeds to construct the unit. When complete it also places it in the configuration desired.I dont think there will be any special variants for military or underwater, etc just one that does it all. U just have to have the right design amd materials.Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Danakar Endeel and VoA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
