Passed the little game, would like the white one instead of the red but I am looking hard at the Crisis pack to replace my Endeavor HOPE
So I am looking for that CCU as well

I’ve considered a Cutlass Red but this is much better because Drake Screams “shoot me first please”

screw it
If I decide to melt some stuff for the big pack I will just upgrade the Apollo in that pack…
Went ahead and got it -
SHIP - APOLLO MEDIVAC - LTI
I love the white livery but the red one was very meh for me

Somehow it just looks like anything but a medical ship. It looks like a racing ship or a small fighter. I like the look, but I don’t need this by any stretch of the imagination. I realize I have more ships right now then I will know what to do with once the game launches. I’m done buying ships (he said not quite convincingly to himself).

I got the white one. I was worried about gameplay, but spent half an hour in Concierge chatting Disco up and got a good feeling for it.

Yeah, this is what Disco was talking about yesterday and the reason I bought the ship.

Well
I did it.
I melted by bomber pack and a few other ships I didn’t need and got the Crisis Pack.
This is right up my alley and the perfect pack for me.
Besides I wanted to replace my Endeavor Hope and I needed a Vulcan anyway.
EDIT: Oh and it got my Crucible back too

I really like the idea of “so-and-so planet is suffering from an epidemic and needs help” and we dispatch reds and apollos to help and endeavors to research. Right up my alley, gameplay wise.

Right this minute I own the following medical ships (expected to change in the near future though)
2 X Apollo Medivac
Cutlass Red
Cutlass Black with Red CCU in hand
Endeavor Hope
Argo pack which is supposed to include a mini-ambulance module in the future
So yeah, I love the idea of medical game in SC
I know I mentioned this recently but can’t remember where - but…
Way back in SWG I was a combat medic for a long time. I love the feel of keeping folks alive and ready for battle. It really is one of my favorite style of play. I have played healers in most MMOs at least for a while. Some do it better than others. In EQ2 I was a Mystic with a focus on healing.
What I like is having a character that can do the job of a healer/medic and at the same time contribute to the ongoing battle. I don’t expect my medic to also be the best tank or best DPS, but to be able to add a little to the fight is fun. That was why I liked SWGs Combat Medic so much. They had heals and poisons and buffs and debuffs and they could stay in the fight 100% even when they were not healing.
That is the type of role I am looking to fill in SC and it would seem the Apollo is a good fit for that as well as the Cutty Red. The Endeavor just makes for a great base of ops for either of those.

Combat Medics were sick awesome in combat, they were the kings of buffs 🙂 My son played one, Commando/Combat Medic, and I was Creature Handler/Rifleman. We were quite effective 🙂

PSA: The Guardian angel vairant becomes available if you get 100k points in the minigame. It’s not very hard.
Also - WOW $280…TWICE a Cutlass Red!

Yeah twice a Cutty Red BUT…
It provides twice the bed space and is slightly larger.
Where the Red is an ambulance for combat zones, the Apollo is a mobile clinic.
I could see the Cutlass Red picking up injured pilots from a hot zone, treating them for the most critical conditions en route to the Apollo where there is a bit of a triage center. On the Apollo they can treat patients and get them out the door ready for combat, or ferry them to an Endeavor for more advanced treatment.
I don’t think of the Apollo as fitting between the Cutlass and the Endeavor exactly, more of a similar role to the Cutlass but also different. Like I said, mobile clinic versus the ambulance vs the mobile hospital.
I am happy with my Crisis Pack and will likely be trimming down my fleet now that more specialized profession ships are coming into play. No more need for all of these big ships I wont use.
