Remember a super fast QT drive doesn't really matter if you don't have the gas tank to get across the system with it. Having to stop to refuel once or twice is going to make your trip longer than a non-stop trip with a slower one.
That's a point I learned the hard way. The Vulture has small Q-Fuel tank, so a military class A QT drive is right out. Using the civilian class A drive though really makes a difference. The Reclaimer is the same, it's got a small Q-fuel tank for it's size. So it also gets a class A civilian drive.
The only thing about the 400i that gets choosing something else is the frustratingly limited view from the cockpit. As an explorer I'd have expected it to be much less postboxy.
@@granthollins7A good explorer is not about how much you can see out the cockpit but how much data your scanner can get you. 400i isn't even that bad anyway.
@@Rockyroad321 It's the second fastest ship in game... and why the hell are you taking an explorer into a fight? Use the right tool for the right job. You haven't seen anything, lol
Glad to see the C1 got the honorable mention. It is my daily Driver and I love it. One thing to note about the maneuverability is those are the max speeds and all maneuvering thrusters have a power up curve on how long it takes them to get to max. That's why I love the C1 because it gets to Max speed very quickly. however if you are trying to do a 180 you will quickly notice that it isn't spinning as fast as it feels like it should.
Yep, it has a pretty low pitch and yaw but I still love the feel of the C1. I melted my beloved Nomad to get one and suspect it will be part of my fleet forever. The large quantum fuel capacity and fast default QT drive are perfect when you like to relax by hauling a little cargo.
I wish that "power up" curve would be displayed exactly like that, as a curve, in popular comparative tools like SPAT or Erkul (although I haven't checked them in awhile so maybe there is something like that there too). How would that compare to what people call "jerk profile" of the ship?
Freelancer MAX is easily my daily driver. The cargo hold is huge for its size, and so damn practical. I can carry a pair of large ROCs or a ROC and Ursa onboard. Great guns, great shields. All around a great ship. But in desperate need of an update.
Mine is the Caterpillar, its very dated now and is desperately needing an update but i just love it and keep coming back to it for some reason i just cant describe it. I have basically made it my home in the verse haha.
I’m looking for a ship that I can kinda just live out of like a space van camper. Something I can sleep in store stuff You got any recommendations The caterpillar sounds good. Mind elaborating on what makes it so good? 🤔
Honestly love my Corsair. Its my space RV. Sure its not super fast but it gets me there every time. Of course, if I'm doing something specific like bunker hopping I'll pull a more dedicated ship like the medical Pisces. But the reason I like the Corsair for my daily driver is that no matter what I'm doing or where I'm at I can have the freedom of choice without having to make the arduous trip back to a port or station just to switch ships. My favorite way to play is to do random things. It helps break up the monotony for me. With the Corsair I can do almost any mission type and bring people aboard that I meet along the way. There have been plenty of times where I needed a vehicle and sure enough had one right in the back. A crashed ship loaded with cargo. Someone got stranded for XYZ reason. An emergency combat beacon. You name it. I can do it. Again, I can't stress enough, we all know how long it takes to do literally anything in this game so not having to go all the way back to square one because you need to grab a specialized ship is such a bonus to me.
Probably the Taurus. If I had to chop it to something smaller, It'd be the Freelancer MAX. Love both of these ships. They're really great do-anything ships.
I really like my Cutter for most things. However the Corsair is definitely a close second just for the pure awesomeness Happy Holidays to all and a very Prosperous New Year!
Corsair is my go to over the conny . Just becourse the enormous firepower. It has a "smaler" cargo Bay for scu but for me it fits better becourse you can get more vehicles in it
Hey Loud there is one thing you might want to add to your list of criteria: The handling in atmosphere. While the Cutty, the Nomad, the 400i and the C1 shine in that regard, the Constellation and the Corsair for example are not great. Especially the 400i used to be the fastest to escape the huge atmosphere of Orison that features a size 2 QT drive. I think that is an important thing to remember because you mostly go into atmosphere for your daily driving! cheers Sky
The 600i is the first ship I really liked in the game! Although it took some time to gather a nice CCU chain to it. Today is my daily driver and will always be!
@@robopenguin5501 >good weapons You won't need them after 3.23 anymore, NPC are much much tougher there - I doubt it 'll be possible to kill anyone in 600i unless you always fly with a gunner. Ship is damm slow, especially in atmosphere.
I love my C1. I keep thinking about upgrading to the Taurus, but I simply love it. It may not be the best, but suits my playstyle.. and loading it with ballistics repeaters and cannons is really useful in pretty much all situations! Ta @Loudguns useful as the daily drivers vid first time round!! Keep it up!!
Truly great video, made me think about a few ships that I wouldn't usually think of as daily drivers. That comment at the end about thinking people less fortunate, shows you put as much thought into people as you do into the game. Bravo mate. You truly are a nice person.
Nice first pick with the nomad. Dont forget it also has one of the only pilot controlled tractor beams. Also a quick claim timer. Greak perks for a single player
You started the video with the best ship! Nomad is best!!! Hopefully they give it a bit larger hydrogen and quantum tanks in the future. That would be great!
i couldnt decide... i got the 400i c1 and MSR ... actually C1 is amazing but lacks shields and more speed for what it should be as described by cig. I hope to see data running soon and the MSR gets a sense and also exploration will be the 400i perfect for solo or 2-3 people
2:47 - I'm just the opposite. I never use ground vehicles. I'm also not interested in dogfighting. Between my main and alt account, I have quite a few ships. My daily drivers are the Pisces Expedition and Pisces Rescue, respectively. They're quick, small targets, and are easy to land just about anywhere. If I need to haul a bit of cargo, I step up to a Cutlass Black. I have a Cutter, and like the IDEA of it, but have never liked it in practice. It, and my Aurora (on different accounts) will be used as LTI tokens.
I grabbed a cutter rambler for the LTI token but honestly it is a really good courier ship. Instant claim time, large quantum tank with a VK00 drive makes it the fastest ship in the game
I get profit sharing at my job and ended up getting a freelancer max when I started playing about a year ago. It was a great ship and I learned a lot of the ropes playing it. It was a great starter ship for "space trucking," and I loved how I could haul my roc in it to go crystal mining. As much as I loved it, I made the bitter sweet decision to give it up and put it towards upgrading to a C2 for 150 off. I'm still learning to handle it since its the largest ship I've ever flown, but I can't get over how much money it brings in doing trade routes. MISC and now Crusader have me spoiled, so I do share your less than stellar opinion about Drake as a whole,lol.
C1 is my daily driver. Some more things worth noting about it is that it has vtol, above average acceleration, large qt fuel tank and (I think) very generous ammount of boost capacity. In general, a joy to fly and so much so that it got me to swipe my card even though I was not planning to pledge anything more than my titan until the game is way more polished. Oh well, I am happy with that exception to my own rule ;)
Agreed. I did nearly the same thing except I melted a Nomad, which I like very much, to get one of these. No regrets, I really like the C1. It is really nice that you can do a little tractor-beaming to fit another 32 SCU crate in the back for a total of 96.
I’ve got a C1 and it is cool, I do wish there was a turret for the copilot like the cutty though. It can be boring for the second person right now without engineering gameplay - but I imagine that will change in the future
I agree with you thas My daily ship,Although it is not the best in everything, it is the one I liked the most, so much so that I am considering buying it in the store to have it permanently.
I absolutely love my cutlass black. It's at a decent price for real money, and it's very versatile. You can fit a lot of different vehicles inside as well as whatever other cargo you want to toss in. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to haul a drake dragonfly for clearing your crime stat. Just park your cutty away from the station you need to get to and fly the dragonfly there and back.
Jepp I feel that! And that is probably because first it handles the best in atmosphere and second because it has the convenience of a med bed. You do not need to carry around food and drinks and you can fix smaller oopsies!
A daily driver should be able to do a bit of everything & not be a BIG ship, IMO. At the moment I would choose the C1. It's pretty zippy, has decent firepower, and can actually hold the largest cargo containers. And while the ship tractor beam isn't a necessity it's a nice thing to have. While the Freelancer technically can hold more I don't think you're going to get to 2 32 SCU boxes in it.
my daily driver is also a cutlass black. its versatile enough for most things you can do, and is a good all round ship. with the right upgrades it can do some serious damage, and it has a good enough cargo capacity for some light hauling. i am considering something larger with grater hauling capacity though, but my cutlass black will stay in my hangar forever. started with an aurora, upgraded to a titan, and then to a black. i have never considered upgrading my cutlass further, but i do also have a P52, Fury and an 100i for other tasks.
nice video, good thoughts and really a topic i don`t have a true answer. i stopped worrying which is my daily driver and bought the ones i like to enjoy.
5:55 I have suggested doing away with the manned turret, and making that the bathroom like on other Cutlass models. The turret would remain, but controlled by the copilot. 7:02 LOL.... TOO TRUE 13:03 Otherwise know as the Blimp. 18:32 AMEN... And everytime I try to lock them open, which supposedly can be done, it does not take. 18:48 I NEVER understood why the little joke of an elevator can't be set up to exit the ship. 20:47 The NOX fits nicely in the bay and actually behaves better... May I ask, what is your opinion of another stalwart of the game, The Avenger Titan? Love this video, Excellent work!!
Great video & nicely informative, especially for those newer to Star Citizen. Liked subscribed. Since it's initial debut, I've nicknamed the Nomad the Star Camino, as in the El Camino of the Verse.
Corsair for me, even as it gets buggier and buggier each patch, it truly feels like home. All its missing is some windows in either the mess hall or crew quarters
Yeah, I fly other ships sometimes but I ultimately keep getting the Corsair. It reminds me of a hero ship you would see in a movie or show and I just love that vibe. It may be a bucket of bolts but it’s got personality
Not sure why CIG has decided to not put windows into ships. Very few windows in ships besides cockpit. Lore states that glass is basically the same as hull metal so why not have windows?
Really wish we had a little bit of personal freedom with customizing our ships like adding portholes and moving some furniture around but I don't think CIG likes this idea😂
Started with a Nomad... Upgrade followed upgrade through the months. Ended on the MSR which I just upgraded into a Harbinger... That is my daily driver. Punches hard, can sleep in, can store a pulse in and just a lovely lass to look at.
Great video! My daily driver is in a state of flux. It has been the MSR, but with the Zeus coming along in a year or 2, it may replace the MSR, though the MSR is s solid keeper because it has legs to travel back & forth across Stanton several times w/o refueling.
I love the livery of your cuttie. I upgraded my pledge titan (which I love) to a 325a. But I plan to upgrade it to a cuttie in the future. It is the true jack of all trades, master of none. A forever ship.
This was a great list! I’ve only been playing for a little over a year now, and can say that after trying all the ships on this list, these are some of my favorites, I’ve tried out most of them, but the C2 is now my daily driver. I like how i can have my 2 vehicles (roc and Ursa Rover) in and still have plenty of room for hauling cargo and refined goods. It’s fast enough to not slouch while going in and out of atmo. Lots of fuel is great, And.. has powerful enough guns at size 5 (all be it only 2) that it can still bounty hunt with good shielding. The doors are a pain at times, but with the elevator, it certainly gives you options. o7
A great video and set of suggestions there. I would probably throw in the Banu Defender with its interior as another viable option, albeit no internal cargo but for a lot of stuff it’s also excellent. Hard to argue with Loudguns daily given he has one of the ultra rare white and gold Cutlass Blacks that go for $400+ these days. It’s also my most flown daily on that list, but I also fly the 400i, Titan and Freelancer Max a lot too depending on what I’m planning to do in the verse. The Connie will also have a place in my heart with that weird but cool creative design and snub.
I love the Freelancer, especially the Max, I just can't justify using them any more because they appear to be made of tissue paper any time a would be pirate fires at you. It's a shame, because otherwise the Max would be awesome value for money in-game (it still is, tbf, but I save up for an MSR instead these days because I know it will get me and my cargo safely where I want to go)
@@Rockyroad321 Range is key. Keep altitude high or stay out of the rocks if it's an asteroid belt mission. Blap them at range, turn your boat as they fly by and keep blapping them. You'll do a lot of turning and reversing to keep your nose on them and keep them at range.
@@Rockyroad321 Just get the CCU for it next time it's for sale then build a chain for it. Got mine for around $210 with LTI. After rework, its price will go up, probably by quite a bit.
Unpopular opinion but my daily is actually the hull A. Huge fuel tank, can equip the vk00, nice interior, massive landing pads for its size when not extended and good cargo capacity when you need it (and only then). Nice little bonus is that you can buy black paint for it ingame. And for some reason I just like MISC ships.
The Argo RAFT is an excellent daily driver for cargo runners. Has beds, kitchen, armor lockers, escape pods, gun racks, and elevator access to the component hall for easy repair/replace. Tractor beam on the rear for handling big crates. It looks excellent, has virtually no firepower, isn't particularly maneuverable, but is a good working ship.
I own a 400i, MSR, Andromeda and a Cutter Black. I find myself using the 400i the most as my daily driver. Simply cause the MSR is an awesome ship, but it takes for ever to run through the whole ship and open all the doors. Andromeda is just too slow and sluggish for daily driving. The Cutty is a great ship also, but I simply find myself spending more time in the 400i
Corsair and 600i are my dailies. First when I know things need to go boom, second when I just want to have a sweet time exploring and living the atmosphere this game offers. Merry christmas to you, Loudguns, and to all the SC pilots out there!
I have been using the C1 frequently, though its a bit of challenge to go in and out of the hangar. You have to be careful of the witdth when going through the front door because you have little clearances. And if you are exiting through the top, if you just strafe up your tail will snag at the opening which can flip your ship if going to fast.
@@Baaddger glad to help. If you didn't know why I mentioned trading even dead bodies count as an occupant on the ship so it won't let you sell cargo when they are on board.
One thing to remember with the MSRs pilot guns is yeah, it's only 2 S3s but the capacitor is huge. So while someone with more firepower is recharging their capacitor you're still shooting. The sustained DPD is actually pretty good. Even with only 2 S3s.
My daily drive is Avenger Titan 😅 -Can still take a hit n run HRT with giimbaled 2x S2 and 1x S3 Gatling -Can logout from bed -Cargo space enough to bring Greycat small vehicle to aproach bungker savely from ground and Put in some loot and ship weapons/system or armor/gun from wrecked enemy ship or body it also can save me from loosing my cargo incase I got killed or bugged during mining. I can return to my Mole and Jump from Titan ramp to Mole elevator on the sky -And the the best thing is it only took 50 sec for claiming.
the constellation andromeda is a great daily driver, about as good as it gets, it's capable of almost every task including combat, carrying small vehicles (incl ursa so free medbay).
Yep, made a feature vid on it just recently and after the changes that allow it the 4x S5 guns now it’s an incredible ship 💪 I just wish the interior would get an update (fully expecting a Connie Mk2 now 😂)
Only been playing for about a week. Originally purchased the Avenger Titan Citizencon bundle. Got a little bored of small package deliveries and traded up to a C1. So far very happy with that decision. Would've gone with the new Zeus CL, but haven't heard great things about it cargo-wise, though I like the looks more.
I got myself the 400i as a daily and I live it. It can do almost everything I want including PVE. Having ad4b’s on the nose actually works decently for higher bounties, and because the shielding and hull hp is so high, you can take a beating
Corsair is mine, thanks to my brother who's a long time player. But for anything where I'm just driving around got fun, my 325a is my favorite ship with a bed
I bought a Cutter Rambler because I like its interior and I intend to use it as my daily driver once SC is more fully developed. I also have a standard Cutter (which came with my IAE2952 starter package), which I'm currently considering CCUing into a Zeus Mk II ES...or maybe a Freelancer MAX, once I try flying out the latter in-game. I initially also considered the C1 Spirit as a mid-tier solo daily driver but dropped it because I don't like its huge profile (especially given the hangar issues).
For me, mine is the Hoplite. She had a bug recently though with her landing gear so I was really sad I couldn't fly her properly cause she was incredibly nimble. I'm happy to be a dropship pilot for anyone who needs one, or any small crew that could do with a lift
Think the daily driver gets determined by what people are mostly doing. I'd use the C1 more often if I was doing mid-tier things or the early stuff, but I found that the Constellation and Corsair are sort of the daily drivers I end up using the most because ERTs and VHRTs require a lot of firepower.
You know that's true, my problem is I hate how slow they are that I only do HRTs now. Like I want combat, not slowly moving to my destination for 30 mins. It just sucks because I wanted to VHRT and ERTS but I just can't handle the bitty movement. I play solo so maybe that's a big part of it.
@@Hytension You can take out the ERT and VHRT in the smaller ships no problem. Ares Inferno or Vanguard will work fine for them as a solo pilot. The main reason I take the corsair or connie is for the cargo hold as I generally loot the ships after I down them.
I had the 300i as my daily for a while, and it was incredible. I had it almost fully modified, so it cost almost $100, but I feel like it was worth it. If it's only you, and you don't have unlimited budget, I recommend it
My reqs for an ideal daily driver. Can't be big so it needs to be either small or moderately size. Easy to fly, easy to hover, easy to land, be able to do multiple things relatively well, must have a fast call time, and it must have a size 2 Quatum drive because I don't like slow Q travel. That last req disqualifies quite a few ships that would be otherwise be ideal for this. After carefully analyzing these reqs I concluded that the C1 Spirit is the best daily for me. It literally meets ALL my reqs as listed.
I was so close to pulling the trigger on the C1. But they decided to put the modules at the rear hatch entrance. Effectively limiting what ground vehicles you can carry.
Just so you know, on the 400i the single occupancy room is actually the owner's/VIP's cabin. The pilots would get the 2-bed offering. That's just how luxury yachts work. The same on the 600i and 890Jump. The captain would bunk with the crew unless he/she had their own dedicated cabin near the bridge which none of the Origin ships actually have. Rich folk hire crews to operate their vessels and never actually do the driving in vessels of these sizes.
I spent a good year or two hopping in and out of lights such as the Kore then onto mediums for bounties, for the all-in-one daily it's my Taurus, had enjoyed the andro for 6 months but wanted more cargo and flexability for solo. Got it LTI upgrading through from the cutter IAE edition and freelancer max. Very decent space truck, I am a stickler for symmetry and play mainly solo so the corsair did not make the cut.
I've had the MR, I upgraded to the Cutty Black. I had expendable funds and upgrade that to the Constellation Andromeda and then there was a few more ship and ROC purchases but I've ALWAYS felt I could do everything with the Cutlass Black. My taxi is the C8X or now it's the C8R for some flexibility and community spirit in this New Year period. I had a speed bike thing but never got around to using it so I'll buy one in game if it comes to it. I don't like mining so there's no need for a Roc or either of the mining ships so I now have the Corsair and if it was agile as the Cutlass it would be phenomenal but I'll have to fly it more to get used to it. I hope they don't prioritise the bodily functions of extraction and hygiene any time soon.
Thanks for the well put together comparison. In general, I like to use ships that are fit for purpose, but when I head out into the verse and don't know what to expect, I find myself using the Connie Andromeda more than anything else. Although I must say that I am not a fan of the cargo bay being an elevator. I hope that stuff will stabilize when we can finally put all the things on the cargo grid where they are fixed and can't tumble around. As a Nomad owner, I have to point out that it also has a tractor beam! And the position of the tractor beam on the Cutty is currently a bit suboptimal. I hope CIG will fix that! The 400i could theoretically fit a ROC, but it sits too low to the ground and therefore doesn't have enough clearance height. Its super fast in atmo tho - in a straight line, until the boost runs out. 😅
Yeah sorry I missed that the nomad has a tractor- it just got better in my book. For me I find the Connie doesn’t see much use when I’m on my own, but it’s amongst the first ships I pull when rolling in a group of 3-4 friends. Still could do with a little love though!
I own the Nomad. I really like it! For a solo player it is great! Out of all of these its probably the best for ROC mining. However, I do have two other friends that I play with every so often and for that I would love to have the 400i or Constellation!
I had a cutty black as my daily driver for years and i still to this day think this is one of the best ships for a "new" citizen. I then upgraded to an andromeda because of the look and the ability to deliver huge amounts of democracy. This is still to this day my daily driver but since i managed to abuse the 30k salvage missions, which lead me to own every ship you can buy ingame, i found myself more often then not using the 400i to get from point A to B. But i also use my F8C or the new F7C MK II alot. The new F7C MK II feels so nice to fly that i dont fly anything else right now.
C1 is nice, but the unbearably wide wingspan and widely separated low landing gear are massive issues whether landing on a planet or in a hangar, and, it’s just an uninteresting tube inside.
@@LoudGuns really enjoyed the content when I started the old Freelancer was always my go to, then upgraded to the Connie and was just blown away by it. Good to reminisce of what it was like when I first started. Thank you again for all the support in our hour of need 🫶
Of all the ships I have flown, I still like my Cutlass Black, its so versatle, it does pretty much anything I need or want it to do. I am a ROC miner and the Cutlass to me handles so nice and responsive, it carries my ROC and its easy to manuver and land in tight areas. I said often it handles like a Porsche, spins on a dime and gets the hell outta dodge quick if needed. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin too, good mileage and will quantum as far as needed. I have other ships but they usually just sit, I fly the Cutlass cause it just feels good and always gets me home.
Me too man, I love its handling, you can fit the ROC perfectly. Lately I have been roleplaying as a ground miner. Looking for gems, selling them at mining posts, looting the Cruz drinks for food and hydration and bed logout. I am not using space stations at all.
My DD is the connie taurus right now. Love it and the tractor beam works now! I wish i never sold my cutty though. Im pretty sure ill buy another when i get the money cause it was my favorite by far
I like the Redeemer and 600i for my DD's for different reasons... The 600i will become my go-to ship when it gets the med bay and can carry a Nova tank... 😮
Ive always liked the MSR but like you said the lack of guns LOL also the 400i ive used both for the daily drive . the 400i is great for getting about as the QT tank is big. the C1 is great if CIG change the loading bays ( some are VERY tight )but thinking future the Zeus may be a little better then the c1 we will see. I do feel you should have put a 300i in with the same run abouts ok not much cargo but its small and fits easy into places. I do think the Corsair is a little to big for a daily and so slow but great for bounties everything dies that's in front of it. when the ships have drink and food making / storage the living place will have more important to the daily having something nice to eat in and chill when in QT ( if you can get out of your seat in QT the last time in the MSR left me scared for life seeing it disappear and leave me in space all alone ) we do need some mid size ships lol
I can't find anything better than the Corsair. It can do everything, and has so many great quality of life additions: elevator to the roof, landing lights, cargo flood lights, armory, three points of ingress/egress. Plus the best pilot controlled DPS in the game and a massive cargo hold that hold MUCH more than the rated 72scu. Add to that the massive fuel tanks and that all this comes at a bargain of 3.4M, it's hard to compete. Its low maneuverability can be enhanced with use of boost, and using the VTOLs helps improve atmospheric maneuverability at the cost of forward thrust. It's definitely one of the best designed ships in the game. When the 600i gets its rework this might change, as a tier 2 med bay is a huge benefit.
Corsair has some great features, cargo and floodlights, armory, seperate bunk rooms, all great, but it flies like a bag of wet cement and that chin is something only a mother could love
Remember a super fast QT drive doesn't really matter if you don't have the gas tank to get across the system with it. Having to stop to refuel once or twice is going to make your trip longer than a non-stop trip with a slower one.
That's a point I learned the hard way.
The Vulture has small Q-Fuel tank, so a military class A QT drive is right out. Using the civilian class A drive though really makes a difference.
The Reclaimer is the same, it's got a small Q-fuel tank for it's size. So it also gets a class A civilian drive.
This is one of the reasons why i love my RAFT.
Might not be the most multi-capable ship, but the Defender has fantastic gas mileage.
Got a VK-00 on my starter Cutter and it is now my transport ship across planets. Fly there on it, claim the ship I need, get working.
"Ah yes how many miles can you get on one tank?" "About 2,477,907 miles on average"@@veprstreak3041
For myself, 400i usually. 325a/600i as well, but the 400i just makes me very happy!
The only thing about the 400i that gets choosing something else is the frustratingly limited view from the cockpit. As an explorer I'd have expected it to be much less postboxy.
@@granthollins7A good explorer is not about how much you can see out the cockpit but how much data your scanner can get you. 400i isn't even that bad anyway.
@@Nemoticonis it really not that bad? Cuz from what I see it’s slow and will most likely lose every fight.
@@Rockyroad321 It's the second fastest ship in game... and why the hell are you taking an explorer into a fight? Use the right tool for the right job. You haven't seen anything, lol
@@Rockyroad321 It is very fast, and maneuverable enough. I slap on ballistics and best shield and it is pretty tough.
Glad to see the C1 got the honorable mention. It is my daily Driver and I love it.
One thing to note about the maneuverability is those are the max speeds and all maneuvering thrusters have a power up curve on how long it takes them to get to max. That's why I love the C1 because it gets to Max speed very quickly. however if you are trying to do a 180 you will quickly notice that it isn't spinning as fast as it feels like it should.
Yep, it has a pretty low pitch and yaw but I still love the feel of the C1. I melted my beloved Nomad to get one and suspect it will be part of my fleet forever. The large quantum fuel capacity and fast default QT drive are perfect when you like to relax by hauling a little cargo.
I wish that "power up" curve would be displayed exactly like that, as a curve, in popular comparative tools like SPAT or Erkul (although I haven't checked them in awhile so maybe there is something like that there too).
How would that compare to what people call "jerk profile" of the ship?
Does the C1 have a turret?
@@rixxy9204 turret for tractor beams
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Zeus stacks up against these!
expensive lol
Turns out... Zeus is pretty mid.
Freelancer MAX is easily my daily driver.
The cargo hold is huge for its size, and so damn practical. I can carry a pair of large ROCs or a ROC and Ursa onboard.
Great guns, great shields.
All around a great ship. But in desperate need of an update.
I'm just afraid that once it gets its gold pass, the devs will bloat up the size of the ship by a massive amount. Really hope they don't.
This is not my daily driver choice but a close second. I also love the compactness of the ship with respect to the carrying capacity.
I wonder how the Zeus mk2 CL will hold up against the max. It seems like the max is better in every way except for a shield and a tractor beam (yet)
I tried it. It has too much inertia for some reason. The C2, which is a behemoth, has better handling than the Max.
Sounds like the Taurus!
Tried all and went with the MSR. Just flies so nice, great cargo space and with blades it will be a killer solo ship.
Doable in solo yes, however it’s aimed at multi crew I thought once the mechanics/systems are eventually implemented?
I hate the MSR. Way more bulky than it needs to be and completely underguned.
When Javelin comes out it’ll be my daily driver! I’d love to do box deliveries in it solo
Supposedly the Javelin can not land in ATMO...Just an FYI
I know its a joke...@@tommixx
Mine is the Caterpillar, its very dated now and is desperately needing an update but i just love it and keep coming back to it for some reason i just cant describe it. I have basically made it my home in the verse haha.
I’m looking for a ship that I can kinda just live out of like a space van camper. Something I can sleep in store stuff
You got any recommendations
The caterpillar sounds good. Mind elaborating on what makes it so good? 🤔
Honestly love my Corsair. Its my space RV. Sure its not super fast but it gets me there every time. Of course, if I'm doing something specific like bunker hopping I'll pull a more dedicated ship like the medical Pisces. But the reason I like the Corsair for my daily driver is that no matter what I'm doing or where I'm at I can have the freedom of choice without having to make the arduous trip back to a port or station just to switch ships. My favorite way to play is to do random things. It helps break up the monotony for me. With the Corsair I can do almost any mission type and bring people aboard that I meet along the way. There have been plenty of times where I needed a vehicle and sure enough had one right in the back. A crashed ship loaded with cargo. Someone got stranded for XYZ reason. An emergency combat beacon. You name it. I can do it. Again, I can't stress enough, we all know how long it takes to do literally anything in this game so not having to go all the way back to square one because you need to grab a specialized ship is such a bonus to me.
I fully Agree and support your statement. I love my Corsair a lot, even got the purple BIS skin for it :)
@@mortalkombatfight-clubsofi9637 A spaceman of culture I see! and I am not a fan of the Barny skin but I got it for free so I cant complain lol.
@@Doc_Paradox same i also have the military green paint which i almost always use .
How do you compare connie Taurus to the corsair?
@mortalkombatfight-clubsofi9637 how do you compare it to the connie Taurus
Probably the Taurus. If I had to chop it to something smaller, It'd be the Freelancer MAX. Love both of these ships. They're really great do-anything ships.
Mine is the Taurus as well. At least until I can get that 400i!
@@patrickguerriero5425 I'm sorry to hear that last part. 😂😅
I've been loving the gatac syulen! not seeing too many in game, and I love the stone styling
I really like my Cutter for most things. However the Corsair is definitely a close second just for the pure awesomeness
Happy Holidays to all and a very Prosperous New Year!
Corsair is my go to over the conny . Just becourse the enormous firepower. It has a "smaler" cargo Bay for scu but for me it fits better becourse you can get more vehicles in it
@@kaeseritter1482 well actually you can put almost double the scu into a corsair than its grid "allows" .
Hey Loud there is one thing you might want to add to your list of criteria: The handling in atmosphere. While the Cutty, the Nomad, the 400i and the C1 shine in that regard, the Constellation and the Corsair for example are not great. Especially the 400i used to be the fastest to escape the huge atmosphere of Orison that features a size 2 QT drive. I think that is an important thing to remember because you mostly go into atmosphere for your daily driving! cheers Sky
You're right. We tested it and although the MSR is the fastest ship on the list, the 400i can fly faster in atmosphere than the MSR.
The 600i is the first ship I really liked in the game! Although it took some time to gather a nice CCU chain to it. Today is my daily driver and will always be!
You sir, are a man of culture and an enlightened soul!🍺
It’ll be my daily after the rework. New cargo bay, good weapons, nice interior.
Have my Polaris rn but I made sure to pickup the 600i bis this year just in case I hate the P lol
@@robopenguin5501 >good weapons
You won't need them after 3.23 anymore, NPC are much much tougher there - I doubt it 'll be possible to kill anyone in 600i unless you always fly with a gunner. Ship is damm slow, especially in atmosphere.
The Nomad had been my daily for quite a while now. Has everything I need to do my missions and still have a bit of fun.
My daily driver is a Freelancer MAX, but currently waiting for the Zeus Clipper. Good video. Keep them coming.
I love my C1. I keep thinking about upgrading to the Taurus, but I simply love it. It may not be the best, but suits my playstyle.. and loading it with ballistics repeaters and cannons is really useful in pretty much all situations! Ta @Loudguns useful as the daily drivers vid first time round!! Keep it up!!
Truly great video, made me think about a few ships that I wouldn't usually think of as daily drivers. That comment at the end about thinking people less fortunate, shows you put as much thought into people as you do into the game. Bravo mate. You truly are a nice person.
✊🏽LOUD Guns Happy holidays!
Nice first pick with the nomad. Dont forget it also has one of the only pilot controlled tractor beams. Also a quick claim timer. Greak perks for a single player
You started the video with the best ship! Nomad is best!!! Hopefully they give it a bit larger hydrogen and quantum tanks in the future. That would be great!
i couldnt decide... i got the 400i c1 and MSR ... actually C1 is amazing but lacks shields and more speed for what it should be as described by cig. I hope to see data running soon and the MSR gets a sense and also exploration will be the 400i perfect for solo or 2-3 people
2:47 - I'm just the opposite. I never use ground vehicles. I'm also not interested in dogfighting. Between my main and alt account, I have quite a few ships. My daily drivers are the Pisces Expedition and Pisces Rescue, respectively. They're quick, small targets, and are easy to land just about anywhere. If I need to haul a bit of cargo, I step up to a Cutlass Black. I have a Cutter, and like the IDEA of it, but have never liked it in practice. It, and my Aurora (on different accounts) will be used as LTI tokens.
I grabbed a cutter rambler for the LTI token but honestly it is a really good courier ship. Instant claim time, large quantum tank with a VK00 drive makes it the fastest ship in the game
I get profit sharing at my job and ended up getting a freelancer max when I started playing about a year ago. It was a great ship and I learned a lot of the ropes playing it. It was a great starter ship for "space trucking," and I loved how I could haul my roc in it to go crystal mining. As much as I loved it, I made the bitter sweet decision to give it up and put it towards upgrading to a C2 for 150 off. I'm still learning to handle it since its the largest ship I've ever flown, but I can't get over how much money it brings in doing trade routes. MISC and now Crusader have me spoiled, so I do share your less than stellar opinion about Drake as a whole,lol.
Love your videos, always good info in them. And the extra bonus: that great intro track! 👍
C1 is my daily driver. Some more things worth noting about it is that it has vtol, above average acceleration, large qt fuel tank and (I think) very generous ammount of boost capacity. In general, a joy to fly and so much so that it got me to swipe my card even though I was not planning to pledge anything more than my titan until the game is way more polished. Oh well, I am happy with that exception to my own rule ;)
Agreed. I did nearly the same thing except I melted a Nomad, which I like very much, to get one of these. No regrets, I really like the C1. It is really nice that you can do a little tractor-beaming to fit another 32 SCU crate in the back for a total of 96.
I’ve got a C1 and it is cool, I do wish there was a turret for the copilot like the cutty though. It can be boring for the second person right now without engineering gameplay - but I imagine that will change in the future
Can the copilot control the shields or power levels?
I agree with you thas My daily ship,Although it is not the best in everything, it is the one I liked the most, so much so that I am considering buying it in the store to have it permanently.
I absolutely love my cutlass black. It's at a decent price for real money, and it's very versatile. You can fit a lot of different vehicles inside as well as whatever other cargo you want to toss in. I can't tell you how great it is to be able to haul a drake dragonfly for clearing your crime stat. Just park your cutty away from the station you need to get to and fly the dragonfly there and back.
My 400i is still my favourite little runaround but I've noticed myself using my Pisces rescue variant more and more.
Jepp I feel that! And that is probably because first it handles the best in atmosphere and second because it has the convenience of a med bed. You do not need to carry around food and drinks and you can fix smaller oopsies!
love to see the nomad getting some respect it's my starter and probably the only ship I'll always keep, for quick solo play
A daily driver should be able to do a bit of everything & not be a BIG ship, IMO. At the moment I would choose the C1. It's pretty zippy, has decent firepower, and can actually hold the largest cargo containers. And while the ship tractor beam isn't a necessity it's a nice thing to have. While the Freelancer technically can hold more I don't think you're going to get to 2 32 SCU boxes in it.
Yeah it’s just revealing of the date of design, the freelancer is just outdated in some aspects unfortunately.
Haven't settled on a daily driver yet but enjoyed your video, Thanks !
my daily driver is also a cutlass black. its versatile enough for most things you can do, and is a good all round ship. with the right upgrades it can do some serious damage, and it has a good enough cargo capacity for some light hauling. i am considering something larger with grater hauling capacity though, but my cutlass black will stay in my hangar forever.
started with an aurora, upgraded to a titan, and then to a black. i have never considered upgrading my cutlass further, but i do also have a P52, Fury and an 100i for other tasks.
RSI Constellation Andromeda: Sometimes, its about enjoying the ride. I see what you did there!
If you made a video reviewing ships of any form, I’d watch it every day
nice video, good thoughts and really a topic i don`t have a true answer. i stopped worrying which is my daily driver and bought the ones i like to enjoy.
The Nomad also has a tractor beam.
And it's super comfortable to use once you lowered the flatbed!
5:55 I have suggested doing away with the manned turret, and making that the bathroom like on other Cutlass models. The turret would remain, but controlled by the copilot.
7:02 LOL.... TOO TRUE
13:03 Otherwise know as the Blimp.
18:32 AMEN... And everytime I try to lock them open, which supposedly can be done, it does not take.
18:48 I NEVER understood why the little joke of an elevator can't be set up to exit the ship.
20:47 The NOX fits nicely in the bay and actually behaves better...
May I ask, what is your opinion of another stalwart of the game, The Avenger Titan?
Love this video, Excellent work!!
Great video & nicely informative, especially for those newer to Star Citizen. Liked subscribed. Since it's initial debut, I've nicknamed the Nomad the Star Camino, as in the El Camino of the Verse.
The Cutty's turret has S3 mounts. So the turret DPS on the Cutty is quite a bit higher than the Freelancer's.
One honorable mention should be the Banu Defender. It cant fit any vehicles. But its so much fun and with beds
Corsair for me, even as it gets buggier and buggier each patch, it truly feels like home. All its missing is some windows in either the mess hall or crew quarters
I 100% agree about the windows. It would be nice to see the wings from the inside when flying through the clouds
Yeah, I fly other ships sometimes but I ultimately keep getting the Corsair. It reminds me of a hero ship you would see in a movie or show and I just love that vibe. It may be a bucket of bolts but it’s got personality
"Can we get some windows in the ship please? It'd be nice to look outside."
Drake Engineer: *punches random orphan in the face*
"So that's a no then?"
Not sure why CIG has decided to not put windows into ships. Very few windows in ships besides cockpit. Lore states that glass is basically the same as hull metal so why not have windows?
Really wish we had a little bit of personal freedom with customizing our ships like adding portholes and moving some furniture around but I don't think CIG likes this idea😂
Thank you for the great videos, top notch as always loudguns
The Cutty's turret actually has 2x S3:) Great video, enjoy your content:)
Started with a Nomad... Upgrade followed upgrade through the months. Ended on the MSR which I just upgraded into a Harbinger... That is my daily driver. Punches hard, can sleep in, can store a pulse in and just a lovely lass to look at.
Same here harbinger. Fucking hard combat ship , looks very sexy nice shields .
Great video! My daily driver is in a state of flux. It has been the MSR, but with the Zeus coming along in a year or 2, it may replace the MSR, though the MSR is s solid keeper because it has legs to travel back & forth across Stanton several times w/o refueling.
Good video and a great selection of ships! Well done!
I love the livery of your cuttie. I upgraded my pledge titan (which I love) to a 325a. But I plan to upgrade it to a cuttie in the future. It is the true jack of all trades, master of none. A forever ship.
Happy New Year! Thanks for this Video!
This was a great list!
I’ve only been playing for a little over a year now, and can say that after trying all the ships on this list, these are some of my favorites, I’ve tried out most of them, but the C2 is now my daily driver. I like how i can have my 2 vehicles (roc and Ursa Rover) in and still have plenty of room for hauling cargo and refined goods. It’s fast enough to not slouch while going in and out of atmo. Lots of fuel is great, And.. has powerful enough guns at size 5 (all be it only 2) that it can still bounty hunt with good shielding. The doors are a pain at times, but with the elevator, it certainly gives you options.
o7
A great video and set of suggestions there. I would probably throw in the Banu Defender with its interior as another viable option, albeit no internal cargo but for a lot of stuff it’s also excellent.
Hard to argue with Loudguns daily given he has one of the ultra rare white and gold Cutlass Blacks that go for $400+ these days. It’s also my most flown daily on that list, but I also fly the 400i, Titan and Freelancer Max a lot too depending on what I’m planning to do in the verse. The Connie will also have a place in my heart with that weird but cool creative design and snub.
Usually the Freelancer Max. It's the long wheelbase van of the SC verse, but with guns.
I love the Freelancer, especially the Max, I just can't justify using them any more because they appear to be made of tissue paper any time a would be pirate fires at you. It's a shame, because otherwise the Max would be awesome value for money in-game (it still is, tbf, but I save up for an MSR instead these days because I know it will get me and my cargo safely where I want to go)
Awesome video. Lots of great comparison considerations.
Thanks for the reminder. Happy holidays.
Happy Holidays!
Great content as always. Some of the best "shareable" media for SC.
Cutlass and Taurus are good allrounder. Cutlass as starter and Taurus if you need more. And then M2 if you want more focus on cargo.
Daily drivers list without 600i....tears to my eyes 😪 Good vid, thanks.
I mostly do bounties daily and 600i Exp is a beast. That's my daily driver.
@@rtek777you do bounties with the 600i?? How
@@Rockyroad321 Range is key. Keep altitude high or stay out of the rocks if it's an asteroid belt mission. Blap them at range, turn your boat as they fly by and keep blapping them. You'll do a lot of turning and reversing to keep your nose on them and keep them at range.
@@rtek777 damn I wanted to get a 600i but I’ll wait for the rework whenever that drops.
@@Rockyroad321 Just get the CCU for it next time it's for sale then build a chain for it. Got mine for around $210 with LTI. After rework, its price will go up, probably by quite a bit.
Unpopular opinion but my daily is actually the hull A. Huge fuel tank, can equip the vk00, nice interior, massive landing pads for its size when not extended and good cargo capacity when you need it (and only then). Nice little bonus is that you can buy black paint for it ingame. And for some reason I just like MISC ships.
nomad also has a tractor beam, and the struts of the freelancer's turret got fixed
The Argo RAFT is an excellent daily driver for cargo runners. Has beds, kitchen, armor lockers, escape pods, gun racks, and elevator access to the component hall for easy repair/replace. Tractor beam on the rear for handling big crates. It looks excellent, has virtually no firepower, isn't particularly maneuverable, but is a good working ship.
I own a 400i, MSR, Andromeda and a Cutter Black. I find myself using the 400i the most as my daily driver. Simply cause the MSR is an awesome ship, but it takes for ever to run through the whole ship and open all the doors. Andromeda is just too slow and sluggish for daily driving. The Cutty is a great ship also, but I simply find myself spending more time in the 400i
Connie has a 3rd airlock on top, i use it on occasion to fall back in :D
Great video. Lots of info here!
Corsair and 600i are my dailies. First when I know things need to go boom, second when I just want to have a sweet time exploring and living the atmosphere this game offers. Merry christmas to you, Loudguns, and to all the SC pilots out there!
Solid choices - personally I never managed to love the 600i but interested to see it after the rework! Merry Christmas mate 👍
It's the Constellation Phoenix Emerald for me. Firepower and luxury.
I have been using the C1 frequently, though its a bit of challenge to go in and out of the hangar. You have to be careful of the witdth when going through the front door because you have little clearances. And if you are exiting through the top, if you just strafe up your tail will snag at the opening which can flip your ship if going to fast.
I remember the glorious patch when we could lock the MSR's bulkhead doors open...not sure why that feature disappeared.
As long as you aren't trying to trade cargo you can prop the doors open with bodies
@@Falcodrin top tip!
@@Baaddger glad to help. If you didn't know why I mentioned trading even dead bodies count as an occupant on the ship so it won't let you sell cargo when they are on board.
One thing to remember with the MSRs pilot guns is yeah, it's only 2 S3s but the capacitor is huge. So while someone with more firepower is recharging their capacitor you're still shooting. The sustained DPD is actually pretty good. Even with only 2 S3s.
When AI blades become a thing, then the SR would be a great idea.
Two extra 2x S3 turrets would make her a fast AND formidable ship.
But for now … NO.
My daily drive is Avenger Titan 😅
-Can still take a hit n run HRT with giimbaled 2x S2 and 1x S3 Gatling
-Can logout from bed
-Cargo space enough to bring Greycat small vehicle to aproach bungker savely from ground and Put in some loot and ship weapons/system or armor/gun from wrecked enemy ship or body
it also can save me from loosing my cargo incase I got killed or bugged during mining. I can return to my Mole and Jump from Titan ramp to Mole elevator on the sky
-And the the best thing is it only took 50 sec for claiming.
the constellation andromeda is a great daily driver, about as good as it gets, it's capable of almost every task including combat, carrying small vehicles (incl ursa so free medbay).
Yep, made a feature vid on it just recently and after the changes that allow it the 4x S5 guns now it’s an incredible ship 💪
I just wish the interior would get an update (fully expecting a Connie Mk2 now 😂)
Only been playing for about a week. Originally purchased the Avenger Titan Citizencon bundle. Got a little bored of small package deliveries and traded up to a C1. So far very happy with that decision. Would've gone with the new Zeus CL, but haven't heard great things about it cargo-wise, though I like the looks more.
I had a Nomad and upgraded to a C1 both are great ships good at more or less everything you need.
I got myself the 400i as a daily and I live it. It can do almost everything I want including PVE. Having ad4b’s on the nose actually works decently for higher bounties, and because the shielding and hull hp is so high, you can take a beating
Corsair is mine, thanks to my brother who's a long time player. But for anything where I'm just driving around got fun, my 325a is my favorite ship with a bed
I bought a Cutter Rambler because I like its interior and I intend to use it as my daily driver once SC is more fully developed.
I also have a standard Cutter (which came with my IAE2952 starter package), which I'm currently considering CCUing into a Zeus Mk II ES...or maybe a Freelancer MAX, once I try flying out the latter in-game.
I initially also considered the C1 Spirit as a mid-tier solo daily driver but dropped it because I don't like its huge profile (especially given the hangar issues).
I use the Nomad and redeemer as my daily drivers, as they can do everything I want, from roc mining to full on multicrew combat.
For me, mine is the Hoplite. She had a bug recently though with her landing gear so I was really sad I couldn't fly her properly cause she was incredibly nimble. I'm happy to be a dropship pilot for anyone who needs one, or any small crew that could do with a lift
Think the daily driver gets determined by what people are mostly doing. I'd use the C1 more often if I was doing mid-tier things or the early stuff, but I found that the Constellation and Corsair are sort of the daily drivers I end up using the most because ERTs and VHRTs require a lot of firepower.
You know that's true, my problem is I hate how slow they are that I only do HRTs now. Like I want combat, not slowly moving to my destination for 30 mins. It just sucks because I wanted to VHRT and ERTS but I just can't handle the bitty movement. I play solo so maybe that's a big part of it.
@@Hytension You can take out the ERT and VHRT in the smaller ships no problem. Ares Inferno or Vanguard will work fine for them as a solo pilot. The main reason I take the corsair or connie is for the cargo hold as I generally loot the ships after I down them.
Cutty & Taurus
I had the 300i as my daily for a while, and it was incredible. I had it almost fully modified, so it cost almost $100, but I feel like it was worth it.
If it's only you, and you don't have unlimited budget, I recommend it
My reqs for an ideal daily driver. Can't be big so it needs to be either small or moderately size. Easy to fly, easy to hover, easy to land, be able to do multiple things relatively well, must have a fast call time, and it must have a size 2 Quatum drive because I don't like slow Q travel. That last req disqualifies quite a few ships that would be otherwise be ideal for this. After carefully analyzing these reqs I concluded that the C1 Spirit is the best daily for me. It literally meets ALL my reqs as listed.
I was so close to pulling the trigger on the C1. But they decided to put the modules at the rear hatch entrance. Effectively limiting what ground vehicles you can carry.
Just so you know, on the 400i the single occupancy room is actually the owner's/VIP's cabin. The pilots would get the 2-bed offering. That's just how luxury yachts work. The same on the 600i and 890Jump. The captain would bunk with the crew unless he/she had their own dedicated cabin near the bridge which none of the Origin ships actually have. Rich folk hire crews to operate their vessels and never actually do the driving in vessels of these sizes.
I spent a good year or two hopping in and out of lights such as the Kore then onto mediums for bounties, for the all-in-one daily it's my Taurus, had enjoyed the andro for 6 months but wanted more cargo and flexability for solo. Got it LTI upgrading through from the cutter IAE edition and freelancer max. Very decent space truck, I am a stickler for symmetry and play mainly solo so the corsair did not make the cut.
Cutlass is life.
I've had the MR, I upgraded to the Cutty Black. I had expendable funds and upgrade that to the Constellation Andromeda and then there was a few more ship and ROC purchases but I've ALWAYS felt I could do everything with the Cutlass Black. My taxi is the C8X or now it's the C8R for some flexibility and community spirit in this New Year period.
I had a speed bike thing but never got around to using it so I'll buy one in game if it comes to it. I don't like mining so there's no need for a Roc or either of the mining ships so I now have the Corsair and if it was agile as the Cutlass it would be phenomenal but I'll have to fly it more to get used to it.
I hope they don't prioritise the bodily functions of extraction and hygiene any time soon.
Nomad has a tractor beam - ya missed it
And I'm pretty sure it can't fit a DS.
Interesting, I did indeed miss it then (can 100% take the DS though).
@@modusponen1447 and who uses that POS?
I like using my c1 spirit as my daily, my caterpillar for cargo hauling, and my cutlass black for simple combat and bunkers/merc jobs
I really hope the Zeus will be in game in a few months because that will absolutely be my daily. However, im just hoping its not super sluggish.
Thanks for the well put together comparison.
In general, I like to use ships that are fit for purpose, but when I head out into the verse and don't know what to expect, I find myself using the Connie Andromeda more than anything else. Although I must say that I am not a fan of the cargo bay being an elevator. I hope that stuff will stabilize when we can finally put all the things on the cargo grid where they are fixed and can't tumble around.
As a Nomad owner, I have to point out that it also has a tractor beam!
And the position of the tractor beam on the Cutty is currently a bit suboptimal. I hope CIG will fix that!
The 400i could theoretically fit a ROC, but it sits too low to the ground and therefore doesn't have enough clearance height. Its super fast in atmo tho - in a straight line, until the boost runs out. 😅
Yeah sorry I missed that the nomad has a tractor- it just got better in my book.
For me I find the Connie doesn’t see much use when I’m on my own, but it’s amongst the first ships I pull when rolling in a group of 3-4 friends. Still could do with a little love though!
I own the Nomad. I really like it! For a solo player it is great! Out of all of these its probably the best for ROC mining.
However, I do have two other friends that I play with every so often and for that I would love to have the 400i or Constellation!
I had a cutty black as my daily driver for years and i still to this day think this is one of the best ships for a "new" citizen. I then upgraded to an andromeda because of the look and the ability to deliver huge amounts of democracy. This is still to this day my daily driver but since i managed to abuse the 30k salvage missions, which lead me to own every ship you can buy ingame, i found myself more often then not using the 400i to get from point A to B. But i also use my F8C or the new F7C MK II alot. The new F7C MK II feels so nice to fly that i dont fly anything else right now.
8:25 The Cutlass turret has dual S3 not Dual S2 like the Freelancer.
C1 is nice, but the unbearably wide wingspan and widely separated low landing gear are massive issues whether landing on a planet or in a hangar, and, it’s just an uninteresting tube inside.
Wide screen ratio looks very good
Cheers mate, it feels really great to play with
@@LoudGuns really enjoyed the content when I started the old Freelancer was always my go to, then upgraded to the Connie and was just blown away by it. Good to reminisce of what it was like when I first started. Thank you again for all the support in our hour of need 🫶
Of all the ships I have flown, I still like my Cutlass Black, its so versatle, it does pretty much anything I need or want it to do. I am a ROC miner and the Cutlass to me handles so nice and responsive, it carries my ROC and its easy to manuver and land in tight areas. I said often it handles like a Porsche, spins on a dime and gets the hell outta dodge quick if needed. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin too, good mileage and will quantum as far as needed. I have other ships but they usually just sit, I fly the Cutlass cause it just feels good and always gets me home.
Me too man, I love its handling, you can fit the ROC perfectly. Lately I have been roleplaying as a ground miner. Looking for gems, selling them at mining posts, looting the Cruz drinks for food and hydration and bed logout. I am not using space stations at all.
My DD is the connie taurus right now. Love it and the tractor beam works now! I wish i never sold my cutty though. Im pretty sure ill buy another when i get the money cause it was my favorite by far
I like the Redeemer and 600i for my DD's for different reasons... The 600i will become my go-to ship when it gets the med bay and can carry a Nova tank... 😮
Ive always liked the MSR but like you said the lack of guns LOL also the 400i ive used both for the daily drive . the 400i is great for getting about as the QT tank is big. the C1 is great if CIG change the loading bays ( some are VERY tight )but thinking future the Zeus may be a little better then the c1 we will see. I do feel you should have put a 300i in with the same run abouts ok not much cargo but its small and fits easy into places. I do think the Corsair is a little to big for a daily and so slow but great for bounties everything dies that's in front of it.
when the ships have drink and food making / storage the living place will have more important to the daily having something nice to eat in and chill when in QT ( if you can get out of your seat in QT the last time in the MSR left me scared for life seeing it disappear and leave me in space all alone ) we do need some mid size ships lol
Jepp you got a point there! We definitely need to consider its‘ ability to land on rough surfaces and the space it needs!
Nice, I have a freelancer max already upgraded from my initial pledge.
I can't find anything better than the Corsair. It can do everything, and has so many great quality of life additions: elevator to the roof, landing lights, cargo flood lights, armory, three points of ingress/egress. Plus the best pilot controlled DPS in the game and a massive cargo hold that hold MUCH more than the rated 72scu. Add to that the massive fuel tanks and that all this comes at a bargain of 3.4M, it's hard to compete. Its low maneuverability can be enhanced with use of boost, and using the VTOLs helps improve atmospheric maneuverability at the cost of forward thrust. It's definitely one of the best designed ships in the game. When the 600i gets its rework this might change, as a tier 2 med bay is a huge benefit.
Corsair has some great features, cargo and floodlights, armory, seperate bunk rooms, all great, but it flies like a bag of wet cement and that chin is something only a mother could love
