I absolutely love the Zeus. Ot feels great to fly, and the interior shows a staggering level of refinement. But its not the best-in-class, and I think thats a good thing. It doesn't invalidate the existence of ships like the C1 or Freelancer max, so people that own those ships don't need to feel like their favourite ships have been left behind to sell the newest, best ship to come out.

You say that, but I got my Zeus CL as a C1 CCU as my main pledge. The C1 has been a great daily flyer, but I want to be able to live out of my main ship, stopping at stations for supplies. I don't wannt it live off a station. I've flown both the C1 and the CL back to back in PTU. To me, the C1 feels like a spaceship made by Apple; exactly what they said you need, with all the technical stuff hidden away. By comparison the Zeus feels open to modifications and an environment that you could live in. The C1 took me to the stars, but I'll make my home in the Zeus.

It's a matter of what style you like on visible components which is understandable haha. Yes, the Size 3 radar is a nice upgrade for this vessel to use that to keep it one step ahead of gangs of ships who do not have such a capability - and of course we will have to test how viable this as a safety tool but it looks promising.

I thought I saw some oddness with the volumes, but I thought I was looking at the locker space and instead I was looking at the hip pockets... XD They actually did a very realistic job with that. It says 500 μ(micro)SCU's for hip pockets. Which translates to about 1 really big chocolate bar. Which is pretty accurate I'd say. It's micro so it's like a millionth of an SCU. So the lockers have 650K μSCU, which is 650 thousandths of an SCU, which is 0.65 SCU.

At 7Z:53; I made this comment to another presenter. "Place a chair there so it's available (if there's no glitching), enabling you to sit in it on top of your ship and enjoy the view" (unless it's Hurston). ;-) That's a good point about the lack of air when the airlock door is open and/or ladder is deployed.

Looks good! I had a raised eyebrow throughout, because you were so concerned about it's ability to defend itself inside and out. Nobody in an aurora is going to be pirating, so if this thing is attacked, it's dead. That's not a knock on it, but the expectation that small non-military ships should be able to defend themselves is bananas....that's why I advocate taking guns off these types of ships completely. Further, I'm skeptical any attacking party would be successfully defended by an ES crew. Once your ship goes down, I'd think you're toast against a dedicated piracy group. The solution is tactics. Use that radar to see further than the bad guys and avoid them. Go stealthy. Etc. But we shall see.

I skipped to the end to not spoil too much of the ship for myself ^_^ But having the turret on the bottom if you could use it would allow being able to shoot ground enemy's far closer to the ship than a top mount. But than again a top mount would be able to hit overhead targets as well..... Does seem to be a missed opportunity not having it functional when landed..... Does it need to extend or is it fully remote?
@RedJay

No worries. Remote turret comes out of bottom of ship, doors open to let it down. I have had reports some have made the remote turret function while landed, seems on landing pad or other flat places it has reasonable visbility but yes on top of ship is better when landed but this turret is on bottom.

Not sure why you would pledge for a cargoship if you are worried about "combat prowess". At any rate; It should be better than a C1 Spirit in terms of dps if you bring a gunner, slightly less dps if you are solo, and since it has a size larger weapons it should be able to penetrate larger ships than the Spirit when armor is a thing. Spirit only has one shield aswell so you should be able to out tank it aswell. Mobility I don`t know for sure but I heard the spirit should in theory be more nimble in atmo.
