    I've really enjoyed the Hydra. It's a solid all-round ship with a good trait. I wish the pilot and intel seats were swapped so that I could use a higher level Reroute Reserves to Weapons, but that's a minor complaint. What's embarrassing for cryptic is that they released the Hydra (an excellent c-store ship) and then they follow that up with the meh Texas as a lockbox.

    Great video Spencer! I picked up the bundle and I’ve had a great time with the ships, specifically the Hydra and the Monitor.
  • @Fosgate777
    I’ve heard you talk about Surgical Strikes before, then I tried it, . Game Changer ! Just Wow😮 . . . Really chops down targets with high Hit Points. I purchased the Hydra because of your detailed comparisons of how this ship is Lock/Promo Box quality plus explanation of how Pilot was tweaked and can be used with this ship. Been having a lot of fun with it thanks! Amazing Video with comparisons! Your wealth of knowledge and passion you have for Star Trek and the game never ceases to amaze me 😁
  • @mokin9656
    I was on the fence about the ship, but after seeing you cut through the enemies of the Elite Argala like a hot knife through butter, you have convinced me. I do not have your experience, nor all the consoles and weapons you have, and furthermore, I'm on console, but your video was an amazing display of this ship's potential. It's coming out today on console, and I'm gonna get my greedy hands on it as soon as I'm done writing this. Thank you very much, sir Spencer. Really.
  • @Nemoticon
    Great watch, lots to think about for my next ship... thank you for your efforts o7

    I used one to level up a new toon, Up to Lv30 it one shots whole waves in patrols, I got the bundle because I wanted bev Crusher for Next gen a theme build, So this ship turned out to be a bonus, Leveling up with it took no time.
  • @slyness3003
    Love this ship! Overall really like the bundle. I'm using the Terran Hestia livery and ended posting screenshots because it's really good.
  • This is certainly my favorite ship. I LOVE this thing so damn much!
  • @RingoMandingo
    good vid i was thinking about geting this and now for sure
  • @ns0557212
    Finally getting this today I literally waited for a review. And this is the guy with an Amarie already too lmao thanks always Spence I suck at buildcrafting but got every ship heh looks at empty wallet now
  • Haven't tried the ship itself yet, but that engage the hydra console is the most fun I've had using a carrier.
  • @Retset
    I bought the bundle and love the Hydra. I moved my CSV build from the Leg. Scimi and haven't looked back. My sci carrier uses the trait and I'm also getting value from the Eagle on a torp toon and Styx on a tank toon so don't really care that I haven't bothered about the other 3 in the bundle.
  • @xell4701
    I absolutely love this ship although I’m probably biased as its a Prometheus variant. My only complaint is this was a missed opportunity to revamp the MVAM. Maybe do something akin to the MVAM pets being like the Vanguard Wingmen The pets as they stand now do little damage and it’s just a gimmick.
  • @JRGProjects
    "Fleeing from Borg Tyranny the last battleship, Hydra leads a rag tag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest, a shining planet, known as Bajor" This thing screams classic BSG.
  • @tyneskipper
    btw. the descriptions of the ships for this release are for other ships. the hydra on playstation has the description of the deimos
  • Pilot revamp is active on xbox since the start of the anniversary event, they snuck it in i think, cause neither you or triz mentioned on your news videos. Thx for your breakdown
