In the video, Ryan, also known as Mac, reviews the Crusader Intrepid, which is positioned as a tier 2 starter ship in the Star Citizen lineup. He describes the ship’s unique asymmetrical design, noting that while it may not appeal to everyone, it adds diversity to the starter ship category. The Intrepid is compared to other mid-tier ships like the Avenger Titan and the Nomad, highlighting its distinct aesthetic that reflects the Crusader brand.
While the official stats for the Intrepid are not yet available, Mac discusses its components, including a single size 3 gimbaled weapon and two missile racks equipped with Maxman one missiles. He emphasizes that having a single larger weapon may provide a competitive edge over other starter ships that typically feature two smaller weapons. The ship’s power plant and shield are also mentioned, aligning with the specifications of other entry-level ships.
A significant highlight of the review is the interior design of the Intrepid, which Mac describes as a standout feature. The ship includes a well-organized entryway leading to the bridge, living quarters, and engineering area. Mac appreciates the layout, which includes a compact cockpit with good visibility, a cozy living space with essential amenities, and a functional engineering area. He also points out the presence of a fire hydrant, though he suggests there should be more for safety.
Mac takes the viewers on a tour of the living quarters, showcasing the bed, storage, a kitchen area, and a combined toilet and shower unit. He notes the clever use of space with various storage options and the aesthetic appeal of the interior design. The engineering area is also praised for its layout, including access to important components and a cargo bay that can hold eight standard cargo units, allowing for efficient loading and unloading.
In the flight segment, Mac discusses the ship’s handling and performance, noting its nimbleness and responsiveness during maneuvers. He expresses satisfaction with the Intrepid’s design and functionality, suggesting it will resonate with players looking for a Crusader ship. Concluding the review, he anticipates the price to be reasonable, similar to the Avenger Titan, and encourages viewers to share their thoughts on the ship while promoting his Twitch channel and other content.
