In this buyer’s guide, Law the West discusses the Zeus CL Mark II, a cargo-hauling variant of the Zeus lineup in Star Citizen. The ship is designed to maximize cargo capacity by sacrificing some living space, allowing it to offer a significant increase in cargo space from the standard 32 SCU to 128 SCU. The standalone price for the Zeus CL is $175, while the war bond price is $160. Law emphasizes that this ship is worth considering for players looking to expand their fleet with a medium-sized cargo hauler.
The guide highlights the craftsmanship of the Montreal team behind the Zeus series, noting the exceptional level of detail and thought that went into its interior design. Law compares the Zeus CL favorably against other ships in the game, asserting that it stands out for its quality and functionality. Unlike previous ships, the Zeus CL benefits from established cargo mechanics, such as freight elevators and physicalized cargo, making it a reliable choice for transporting goods.
Law identifies the C1 Spirit and Freelancer Max as major competitors to the Zeus CL. The C1 Spirit can carry three 32 SCU boxes, bringing its total capacity to 96 SCU, while the Freelancer Max has the ability to transport several meta boxes. Despite its competition, the Zeus CL’s modern design and features position it well in the medium-sized cargo ship category.
One of the standout features of the Zeus CL is its well-designed tractor beam, which is compact and offers greater mobility compared to others. Additionally, the ship’s living quarters are efficiently designed, providing essential amenities in a smaller footprint. The Zeus CL also boasts multiple entry points, including a ramp, docking collar, and ladder, addressing the limitations found in other ships like the C1 Spirit.
Law concludes the video by reassuring viewers that the Zeus CL will eventually be available in-game, allowing players to earn it through gameplay rather than requiring a purchase during the sale. He encourages players not to worry if they miss the initial sale, as new ships typically become available in the game store a few updates after they are flight-ready. Overall, the guide presents the Zeus CL as a promising addition for players interested in cargo hauling within Star Citizen.
