GATAC SYULEN!! CAN SHE FIGHT!!! [StarCitizen PVP]

Ah-ha! I've been waiting for your analysis of the Syulen. I love mine very much but was curious about your thoughts of combat affectiveness. I am watching in eagerness.

Starter ship Throws off anyone who tries to take off and land it, lol. It's a cool ship and cool design in general, but man, it is so weird as well.

i got one of these because it looks cool and i upgraded one of my fury's and it preforms like i thought it would but im gonna have fun in it tho until i decide to upgrade it to a bigger ship.

Please make video on the San'Tok Yai! It's in the EPTU now.

Wait, your Esports friend is going with Keyboard & Mouse?? Like me? ... I thought, you high-level pro fighter pilot aces wouldn't even consider anything else (at all) besides two sticks for "serious" fighter business. Nice to see, I got that wrong :P

Pls make a video for the santokyoi.

Dude, I think you're great but I'd love to see like for a benchmark before testing other ships. Ya' know, for science.

Very cool!
Could you test the San Tokia
Been seeming videos of it today
It seems loud, guns fire fast at reduced damage, should be mobile, but I’m assuming it’s con is its profile/ losing an alien engine thruster thing.
Oh and it can gimble size 3’s which sounds good for dogfighting.
It’s not fire me, I’d rather fly a stealth Sabre but I’d love to see your thoughts.

Titan for fight, Nomad for cargo, Syulen for scam

We call it the gatac pancake, because the profile is so huge.

I like how the ship gets harder to deal with the more damaged it is... 😅

I actually think the real phenomenon we're seeing here is the newer damage model the Syulen has. I would like to see this fight again once the Titan has been brought up to standard, and for that matter whether the Syulen will toughen up with physicalized armor? Looks like stone.. but the wings were falling off like an intentional defense mechanism at 2m/s light kisses of hangar doors on day one for me, could be something is broken in their hp model? I thought I heard that somewhere earlier this past week, the Syulen has a physical damage bug, that extends to ballistic weapons. (But it might be all damage types?)

I feel like you guys might not be using the ship in a way that takes best advantage of it's strengths. One of the amazing features of this one is it's ability to slow down quickly naturally, and it's high forward boost thrust. This to me feels like the ship is best used by forcing closer then normal engagements, pressuring the enemy with a closer engagement then usual, or perhaps doing more of a hybrid-jousting where you end up closer to the target and can re-joust more quickly. Just some thoughts.

Not trying to be a negative nacy but the old intro was wayyyyyy cooler.

We want to see you review the San'tok yai and not this POS.

Did you two have a no missiles rule? Are you using the same/similar control devices because it looked like the Syulen is a KB player, and the maneuvers your were pulling definitely appeared to be anything but.

It's a flying apartment for carrying hot cargo to places very fast and maybe running a blockade, it's built to disengage from a PVP fight easily, but not to excel in combat despite how 'cool' it is, against other meta dogfighters. The C8X fight was a long endurance fight that appeared to be plagued with sFPS/desync issues that could have tilted the outcome, it was more or less a draw, either pilot could have ample time to gain advantage or disengage. For the Aurora I think this is unsurprising in Zero G because of the tiny and tuned profile of the Aurora and the sheer size of the Syulen. I'd like to see a rematch in low dense atmosphere, does the Syulens overwhelming thruster cap lend it a better rate battle in thick atmo?

A1 leaked another new ship from Gatac - the Soyan :D

I think it competes with the nomad more than the titan.
Can’t wait for you to evaluate the santok.

Not that I expected the Syulen to do well in a PvP environment, as it's frontal cross section is way to big, but while Matt is a great pilot, it seemed to me like he was trying to fly it like an Arrow instead of what it is. Really need to use what you have and play to your strengths. He literally let the Pisces pick him apart at distance and take advantage of the size disparity, when the Syulen has twice the shields, more dps (exaggerated even more with 1 gun missing on the Pisces), and better acceleration and roll. I realize that doesn't radically change it's position in PvP tiers, but I was a little mystified by that fight in particular.

Bottom line though, it's a very cool starter ship that is unique and fun to fly. It does well in PvE combat and most other PvE loops, with it's only big drawback being the inability to carry a vehicle. The upcoming "open containers" will make deliveries easier as well. I appreciate it's uniqueness and aesthetics.

Im with some others here, i’d love to see u fight piloting the syulen.

Still better than the Bucc :DDD

Watching this makes me wonder - If it was designed to be over-armored and slower until you blow off its outer armor, then it gained extreme agility as a feature... That might be kinda awesome.
Great points, thanks for the combat trial!

Yeah, she is no PVP ship. However, I feel it was never truly made for it in mind, it is closer to a (very) light cargo/light courier and/or intro explorer (of some sort) with how even the internals feel. She is a runner not a fighter.

With the long triple wings, it should be way more maneuverable out of atmosphere than other ships in its class

Please test Santokia After U remove wings major profile reduction and no loss of thrust power control in space 😂

While I enjoyed the design of the Syulen, its too much of a PiTa during landings. Of which, the craft has the propensity to slide and roll over if the terrain is anything other than level. Combat-wise, the larger frontal area really makes it a mediocre craft for anything other than PvE, especially when the pylon arms are made of tissue paper. Lose one and the fight is pretty much over.

My suggestions would include: To reduce the ships size except for when landing. Which it should spread out the landing feet more for greater stability. Beyond this the Syulens guns really need the options for gimbals, while the ship needs a sizable boost to its agility and armor.

How is he having such a hard time hitting his shots? Like.. you were totally red after 1 engagemen in the Pisces. And then he just couldn't hit anything after that.

I mean the UEE conquered and befriended alien species for a reason.

Good video good demonstration of range control and profile size importance in the current model

it doesn't make sense that the pisces beat it... ok it's twice much bigger... but I think that the Syulen pilot wasn't using the proper aproach... and going too fast...
syulen and piseces got the same maneuverability but syulen go more G and faster... he just came too fast and was never able to turn on the pisces while the pisces was ....
that's becaue he was too vast... the pisces max speed is 142m/s the syulen 200m/s... has the syulen dropped to 150 he would had been able to turn more quickly and trade... and since he got more firepower and more shield he would had won...
and then if the pisces would try to run the syulen would have more acceleration and more speed and could catch up...

now vs the avenger well that ship has pretty much the same shield. firepower and weight and maneuverability, if not a little better
but is smaller so ya it make sense he got the adventage, still don't have the same Gs...
I think the syulen approach is to focus on it's strenght... engage slower... and trust your "thrusters" acceleration to then catchup..
accept to trade since syulen on paper got more fire power and more shield than many other starter ships.

I'm gonna puke, this game is so lame lol

Thanks for the honest assessment from the best pvp-er in the game even though it's not what I was hoping to hear.

It's a fun T2 starter. Fun to fly, looks cool, pretty good fuel.

I looked at the profile and knew it would have PvP problems. But as more of a exploration and light cargo oriented starter I think it's pretty nice.

It would be nice if those Xian ships had some kind of deflector dish substance on the front of their arms to help counter face to face encounters

So standard shielding, but extra resistance in front

It would need a 3rd shield to have some kind of chance.

how about having your expert pilot fly the syulen against the 3 ships shown?

this is interesting though... I love flying my Syulen. It has become a daily driver. I've changed the loadout and have gimbal'd S2 repeaters, and upgraded all other components to military spec. Bear in mind, I'm a relatively new player (6 months or so), and I've just yesterday gotten my firs HRT. I didn't win, but I came pretty close to completing the HRT. Thanks for your video.

I'm a noob 3 weeks into the game with Syulen as starter. I haven't gone looking for fights, just trying to complete some basic bugged box missions, but quite often get ambushed when trying to land my last drop. If I can run, I run, O Yes! BUT, once was cornered by something, well, I was pissed off with that, so went all in on crazy flight tactics, thrust, decouple, power shifting, kinda frantic and almost random, and after 5 minutes managed to blow whoever it was to smithereens, having saved missiles. Got lucky there. But proves it is possible. Don't pick on noob couriers, please, let 'em buy one more ship at least. 🤪

the Syluen its not a combat ship... the fact that you can shoot doesnt mean that you should..

As someone who regularly flies the Syulen, its best defense is its thrust and speed. If you use it as a guerilla fighter it's super annoying for other players, and it holds super well.
You don't want to stick around to let them hit you.

No video of you piloting it? Had a better hope for it too 😅

At what point in the video did you fly the syulen? Did I miss it?

It'd be cool if it fit out of the hanger doors

I don't know, dude. The guy you were fighting was missing a lot

I am watching this dog fight as I gather and seems to me... the guy that was in the Syulen wasn't really engaging his target all he was doing is being a target and just flying around .... How can you judge? I was thinking to get a Syulen, but now i don't know..GG

I just bought this ship in the recent special offer thinking oh I'll give star citizen a try. It's nice to know I'm flying around in a giant pile of shit if it came to combat and practically anything else hahaha.

Bro you didnt even fly it man? Tf is this click bait
