RSI Arrastra – First thoughts on the new large mining ship!

A very quick video but I wanted to get my first thoughts down on the new concept ship – the RSI Arrastra mining vessel. I try my best not to get hyped over concept ships…..today I failed.

Awesome video!
Great video! I feel like the new ships are looking better and better, and I can't wait for this ship! You should consider remaking your Ships of Star Citizen series because there's been a lot of new releases and it was a really useful series for me getting started
My first thought was "Just a bigger mole". But then with the refinery included, the bay for 2 or more roc's, and the maneuverable mining turrets. I'll happily scroll up and down on this. My one worry is that putting a refinery on this particular in-between mining ship is how much it might influence the amounts of Expanses or galaxies with refinery modules we'll see.
As always great takes on the details!
hands debit card to wife keep me from buyin some things yea? porceeds to lose all money for next couple months….. that works too
I buy every ship below Capitals, i dont need to know a single thing about it, yet the aesthetics are often a nice additional plus. Forget FLEET, forget CAREER, none of these matter, is all it takes for many to enter a hissy fit is a new concept or content, and their lives are meaningless. So, do yourself a favour and buy the feckin lot, as it gives you multiple options at the best price, and if like me, you have loads of Instore Credit, everything is zero$. Kerching!! Noice one Guns.
I disagree. Having people in the manual turrets in the MOLE feels more immersive (though I generally hate that word), more enjoyable, and more visibly appealing to me. I'm not the biggest fan of always having all operators on the bridge Star Trek style, but the MOLE does need some sorely needed TLC and I'm already to drop some cash for the concept. Gotta have my complete mining fleet
Have you considered that anyone with an Orion will likely get this ship as a loaner when it is flight ready? Orion will need a re-concept so Orion owners would likely have this for years before they ever see an Orion.
I'm really looking forward to this ship. Imagine one of these setting down near a Pioneer to provide refined resources for base building. Or maybe a Galaxy with the proposed base building module. I hope there is a way to load external ore, like from a Prospector or Mole, into the refinery loop.
i was waiting for your video on it
I already own an Orion so I should get this ship as a loaner once its released (and I suspect it will be released before Orion). So why buy. I will just use this ship until the Orion is done and just buy it in game with Orion money once the economy is working properly. No new money spent 😊.
Biggest question that the Arrastra presentation left with me is why it's armed better than… well, most gunships? Like, if those side turrets are quad 4s, unlikely as it is, that makes this mining ship more potent than a lot of patrol boats and gunships we have in plan or game.
Personal opinion is this isn't the "step up" mining ship they claim it to be. This is the "we're going onto the Vanduul front to get resources" ship where being attacked is an absurdly common occurrence. And that makes sense. You have the MOLE for normal mining at this level, and the Orion is likely going to be so chunky that attacks don't matter to it, but it's expensive money and people-wise to run.
Mole needs more storage to make it viable to collect the lower value ores.
I assume once this is flight ready, it will be the loaner for all Orion owners. My wallet is safe.
Can’t believe you ignored the ROC DS like that lol 😂
This might be a ship I’ll pick up with cash. Mining is definitely my favorite activity in SC and I like it in space and on land. If I were to command a ship, it’d be one like this. The Orion would be too much work and management to run effectively but this could be run with a minimum crew of only 3 or 4 and a single fighter escort to keep attackers out of turret dead spots.
We need more starter profession ships and not more multicrew. When you start the game, you should have a solo resource ship. What we have currently is meh to say the least.
I don't think they will rework the mole. It was designed to be a more risky mining ship. Presumably to make the thing more affordable in the little man mining market.
It looks really amazing, and i'm glad it's RSI making a mining ship now i love RSI style. Gonna be a long wait to finally play with it..
The Orion is still my go to ship for min. But the Arrastra having the ability to land on planets and deploy grou d mining units is pretty awesome.
Nerds sitting on their internet spaceships "mining" digital astroids.
The MOLE has a bunch of annoying things that if fixed would make it a great ship.
1. The turrets need lights.
2. The two wing turrets need to allow the miners to exit the seat when extended so they can attach mining gadgets to rocks in eva or to hop straight to the ground without having to enter the ship and use the elevator.
3. All the turrets need an extra joint for better mobility and coverage.
4. Sorting materials is a must for this ship.
I think this is going to be an instant yes for me I just wish it was a bit more orange 😂
Mole is suppose to look the way it does because it a beat down type tug their meant to look rugged and simple because that's what there meant for the common person
I'm curious what is actually going to restrict certain ships to space, like, will they not be able to fly in atmosphere? or just not able to land? or does flying in atmosphere consume way more fuel?
I'm hoping for just over 500 so I can trade my hull C in for it.
If it gets ingame, ill be out there mining again hour upon hours. Excited for multicrew industrial gameplay. Especially with cargohold and refinery.
I've been saying from the release that the Mole central laser should be remotely accessible to the pilot and co-pilot with the others remotely accessible from the cockpit…
(pulls out wallet) sigh How much?
Honestly?
I don't see anyone wanting a Mole rather than this.
I'd imagine the MOLE will be the loaner? So MOLE to Arrastra is no loss of capability.
I'd imagine remote turrets are much easier to design. No hallways or animated chairs to worry about.
My MOLE & Expanse are now endangered species.😆
for someone that got the Expanse and still waiting I am thinking of upgrading the expanse to the Arrastra and melt the Prospector as I'm sure the arrastra could be solo if needed just got to go for walks to start the refinery for QT lol the rest can wait till its safe. BUT I am not putting anymore cash into the game. I've spent enough. I got a package Fortuna some years ago and yes I like the 600i and 400i along with the phoenix and the MSR but I dont pick them when I get to ATC and I like the look of the E1 and the Zeus. So I'm thinking of putting the cash to good use
