The Zeus is such a beautiful ship, but it’s a bit smaller than I imagined and I think it’s weird that the ramp seems to be designed as „anti-ursa“ as possible, especially because both vehicles are made by RSI. I like the feel of the interior though, it feels like a miniature version of the carrack. The amount of weapon racks was surprising, the MR is supposed to have an armory, I wonder how many racks that one will have.

Yeah the ramp is weirdly narrow vs the cargo bay, you can fit a (n)ursa if you yeet the wheels, but yeah not ideal, pretty sure an ursa would fit intact in the cargo bay if the ramp was wider.

Good review thanks Kate. I found something that has helped my muscle memory adjust to the new power system is keybinding the arrow direction keys to match the screen view. Looking at the screen (not sure for all ships MFDs) the weapons bar is left, the engine is middle and shields are right. Assign arrow keys to match for increase with the ALT and same arrow direction as the decrease. I then set the UP arrow as my reset to default. I typically add/reduce power in advance - flying in non-combat situations has no power to weapons to favor engines and shields. If something suddenly changes tap the up arrow reset to put power across all areas instantly. I've found that having a direction arrow keybind following the MFD screen layout is very useful. O7.

I love how compact and well thought out the Zeus is with easy access for engineering even if you fully load the ship, certainly a big contentder for a solo daily driver in my opinion. The only thing on my wishlist of changes for the CL variant is a slightly wider ramp so you not only can exit the ship from the rear while loaded but also to make it just slightly more comfortable to load.

The Zeus has a cool look up-close, albeit very plastic inside, but I'm ultimately not sold on the silhouette. That is fine I however, as it adds visual variety to the game. The tractior-beam deployment is slick. Overall I can't help but get the impression of it as a 'lessons learned' Cutlass, with a better cross-section for head-to-head combat. I certainly hope there's reasons to use either one, even if it's only down to cost-savings! 100% agree about the MFD UI, the power bars were pretty clearly designed for the engineer(s) of larger ships. Going to need to use hotkeys as a pilot. One thing about the triangle that wasn't mentioned though - while it was clear to read its effects on gameplay were often opaque. I'm hoping the bars make the relationship between power management and ship performance more clear.
