00:00The Anvil Odin, also known as the Battlecruiser, is scheduled to be revealed in less than a month
00:05at this year's Invictus Fleet Launch Week. And while little is known about this ship,
00:10apart that it is the last place ship from the stretch goals that hasn't been revealed yet and
00:14that it would be the last concept ever sold by CIG, we don't really know much about it.
00:21There are, however, a couple of things that we can assume about this upcoming capital ship.
00:29First, it is very likely that the ship will be larger than the Aegis Javelin. With a length of 475m,
00:37a width of 210m and a height of 70m, the Javelin is a force to be reckoned with.
00:43The ship is a destroyer. It is equipped with some of the largest weapons in the game but unlike an
00:49Idris,
00:50it does not have a hangar, which means it is not capable of carrying its own fighter squadrons.
00:57Sold originally at $2500, it now shows a price tag of $3000 whenever it goes on sale again.
01:07The Odin should logically be larger than this. I would imagine it to be at least 600m long and
01:15possibly 250m wide and I believe that it might even surpass 100m in height.
01:22But unlike the Javelin, I think that the Odin should have a hangar, which should allow it to
01:29include the best of the Idris and the Javelin all combined into a single hull.
01:36So, what would the Odin look like? This is the part that I think may age like butter,
01:42but I think that just like other ships of different manufacturers inspired one another,
01:46I don't think that the Odin should be much different, stylistically at least,
01:50from what Anvil already makes. And since their largest ship is the Karak,
01:55I think that we can take it as a base and then try to see how it would change.
02:01First, there is no way that the bridge is going to be at the front of the ship.
02:05It would be way too exposed and would prevent the captain from having a good overview of the ship,
02:10so we are going to cover that front here.
02:15Next, we are going to remove those wings on the side.
02:17They make the ship look way too fragile and since the ship is much bigger than the Karak,
02:22there are going to be plenty of opportunities to put turrets on other areas of the hull.
02:28Alright, we still have the frame of the Karak. Let's stretch the ship to make it look like it really
02:33is
02:34600 meters long. Yeah, that is much better. After that, we are going to add a bridge on top,
02:42just like this. The bridge is going to include some key components like shields and maybe the radars.
02:47Just like in a famous sci-fi saga, it will therefore be a target that friendlies will have to defend.
02:55We don't want to make the Odin invincible after all.
02:59Last but not least, the hangar, which will not be at the front of the ship but on the side.
03:05I am personally not a big fan of the front and back hangars because they leave the fighters exposed
03:12to frontal assaults. I would rather have the fighters leave from the side and I also think
03:17that it prevents the ship from looking a little bit too bulky at the front.
03:23So, there we have it. This is how the Anvil Odin could look like. I've added wing legs here on
03:28the
03:28side here to make it look a bit more organic but it could also look more wedge shaped. I would
03:33love
03:33the back to use the same kind of blue round shaped engines of the Karak. I think that it would
03:38be
03:38very reminiscent of another iconic sci-fi capital ship. So, how much would it cost? Well, since the
03:46Javelin is currently priced at US$3,000. I think that the Odin will be priced, at least at the
03:52very
03:52first time it will be sold, at US$3,500. A little bit above the Javelin. And then, as always,
04:00as time
04:00goes on, as concepts evolve, the ship is going to get more expensive. Maybe around US$4,500 or even
04:08US$5,000.
04:09I know that these prices sound really crazy and, of course, not everybody is going to be able to
04:15afford some of those ships. But at the same time, it's going to be available in-game, just like you
04:20can earn an Idris in-game if you work hard for it right now. So, I'm not too worried about
04:25this. Plus,
04:26at the same time, the amount of manpower it's going to require to fully crew is going to be quite
04:30insane.
04:31So, even if some people have a battle cruiser here, they are not going to be able to fly it
04:36solo.
04:37These are ships that are for passive orgs. And there are some orgs in which members put money
04:42together to buy such assets. So, that is it for this video. Let me know what you guys think of
04:47what the Odin should be. Do you think I am completely off what it could possibly be? Or maybe you
04:53have
04:53other ideas about what the Odin might be or what it might cost? Let me know in the comment section
