![An Architect Reviews the Mercury Star Runner [Star Citizen]](/img/n.gif)
I can see these being a pretty common NPC ship. They just look like a work van. Just needs a decal saying "B. Smith, Roofing and ablative tiles"
Stanton Bunker cleanup service. WE remove all bodies, weapons, contraband and bodily fluids before your next visit.
Yeah, and better be called "Eagle 5 Mk.1" ;-)
Al's Glass.
Void Janitors - "when you fall through the floor, we clean up the mess"
How about Cletis Racing ...
You can tell the ship builder team is getting really, really good at building ships. This looks like they banged this out in a couple weeks and created a masterpiece.
There is a reason drake and Argo are my favorite ships. They seem more realistic when it comes to ships that could be for the average person if we had space travel today. utilitarian and rugged and I just cant get enough of it.
It feels like the kind of sci-fi industrial ship that I'd expect to see in something like the Alien universe, like it would have a huge "Weyland-Yutani" decal on the side. Really like it.
I aggree
That’s just Drake in general
@@JustintheRedneckDruid Absolutely. And it ain't coincidence either, they're clearly inspired by the Alien designs. Just check the interior of the Reclaimer, it's basically the Nostromo.
That is because apparently that is the only thing they do?!
@@NPC_-mf4dw yeah it is based on the Nostromo but its not a Drake ship, its Aegis.
I've been blown away by the Cutter. Feels extremely fleshed out with plenty of character to boot. Thanks for another great vid Morph!
Agreed. The cutter is one of those types of ships you could give a name to 😄
The newest ships are very well polished, and the older ships need a lot of work done to bring them up ton spec!
@@Xondar11223344 you are right. But for those that bought ships 4/5/6 years ago, it will be great for them to have their ships upgraded to gold standard!
that profile picture is my pc background haha. Classic pic.
wait wait wait! Yes, the MULE fits perfectly! Granted, you have to be a bit careful when driving in but it fits without moving. Only trick being: you have to drive in forwards so you can leave the vehicle and still access the cockpit. From there you can close the ramp through the "close exteriors" button. ;)
Also you can park the PTV and the STV (backwards) on the ramp so you don't lose the ability to transport your 4 SCU of cargo. ;)
I mean, it’s absurdly tight and isn’t really practical. Far better would be CIG adding a ladder and cockpit direct access so the rear could be truly and fully utilised for cargo or vehicles.
@@Libertas_P77 yeah but they're prolly never going to do that with this design now. A real big shame too. I think it is pretty dumb the drake mule or drake jetbike dont fit in the drake runabout.
but can you get back in?
I’m glad someone posted this. The MULE fits perfectly. You drive it in forward and then drive it out when you land. Works like a charm. Looks great too!! A ladder would be nice in a future variant but this works great and as someone who mainly does delivery and bunkers this is my ship and the mule works perfectly for that!
so there IS a close hatch button in the cockpit? well that makes things a whole lot easier lmao
I actually love flying my cutter more than my corsair or C2 , makes me really feel like an explorer
with a built in bed and bathroom/toilet? all we need is a portable bbq grill/pit and it's perfect👌👌
Mule fits fine, you just can't exit the ship without riding the Mule out first XD
Maybe that's what he means by 'doesn't "technically" fit'
I've seen people shove the roc face first and close the door on the pilot seat and qt with it without blowing up.
on the other hand the STV fits and still leaves you room to walk to the pilot seat!
@@thesneak86 Sure, but he also said the Dragonfly doesn't 'technically' when in fact it doesn't 'literally'.
Just making the distinction between what actually fits, and what doesn't fit at all. :)
I haven't watched you for a few months and I just gotta say, your videos are amazing! The cinematic shots, the music and the narration is really really good. Would subscribe again if I wouldn't have already been subscribed :)
I love how popular the Cutter has become. The Titan has plenty of room for Cargo from all the Drake Cutter's you will be able to murder and loot with it.
I chose the Nomad 2 years I go if I remember right. It was my first ship. I think I saw a video about it on your channel. I imedietly knew, that this ship is for me. Fly around with my caravan, beeing able to just live where I want. Very nice interior, the awesome design, like a stealth bomber, the hover landing gear, enaugh place, to get cargo on board, even a vehicle fits on, as far as I know, the mining vehicle... I love it until today. Its one of my favourite ships! I would never choose any startingship over it!
Nomad is life!
Nomad is a damn good ship I don't consider it a starter because of the price but for those who want to spend a little bit more a definate recommend
If only the nomad had a ramp! I love the ship, just hate that dam ladder lol
ah a felllow based Nomad player
I bought it in-game after using Aurora for years. It can do pretty much everything.
Cutter is nice but Titan is still King of starters in my eyes.
Just think about Pyro + Cutter Fuel Tank :)
@@m1c4d0 True but ill always lean toward more fighter oriented ships. I actually really like the unpopular Mustang Alpha. Especially now that the cargo section works as intended.
@@m1c4d0 There's no way that's right or won't get changed, if it stays like that I'll abandon my corsair to just use the cutter for pyro. Bit ridiculous honestly
@@nerfherder48 the Mustang is t unpopular anymore. In terms of starters it’s arguably better than the Aurora.
Titan has the guns, but damn it's hard to control in atmospere. Either can work out. Plus two entrances is something.
It should be noted that the current IAE sale package for the Cutter comes with Lifetime insurance…..so even if you wanted a Avenger, it still would be better to purchase the Cutter and then upgrade to the Avenger later.
I don't play Star Citizen but my wife and I love watching your videos just because we both love the concept of space travel and your reviews give a great view on how it could be through the game. Keep up the great work!
I love this ship, it's incredibly endearing, and reminds me of the sort of flying bus-type ships that were common in 80s and 90s cartoons.
your videos(audio, visuals, timing, music, etc..) are really such a pleasure to hear and watch. Thank you.
Looks like a discount Razorcrest, which does give it some charm.
Nice, it's the Walmart Razorcrest.
We’ve got a Razorcrest at home!
good eye .... yeah that is so true... its a Razorcrest for sure lol.
I am certainly gonna show some support by adding a Comment and liking it.
The time you take for the script, the vibe, the quality of your work, I'm a fan of your work, because it speaks on experience and you're one of my top for taking in what matters to me. You got the touch that inspires me for different decisions 👌
Insane video with nice cinematics, very impressive narration, it helped me really much to make a good choice for a new starter ship!
You're really making me want to jump into SC with these videos. I have been putting it off for years now. I'm going to use you guides to get started.
There's just something so charming about the Cutter. I don't need a starter ship at all, but between the looks, and those switches and buttons, I just had to get one. Flying it around feels kind of like my dad gave me his old truck. It may never perform best in class, but I'm going to enjoy putting the best components in it that it can take, and taking it around the verse.
I think the whole concept of 'starter ships' is a flawed one. Every ship should have its useful place in the game and not just be a 'stepping stone'. The Cutter is your typical mail/package delivery vehicle ... small, efficient, easy to maintain. Sure, it has a small cargo capacity, but it fits its niche nicely. At the moment, large ships do everything better and have not that much downsides (f.e. the higher fuel consumption is mitigated by a higher cargo capacity). Maybe they add some more downsides that depend on the scale of the ship: very limited number of landing pads for large ships, landing fees that raise exponentially with ship size, restricted area access for certain ship classes (your mailman doesn't deliver your order with an APC). The game would profit from a break with the "bigger is always better" dogma.
kind of feel the Cutter is inspired by the mandalorian.
That actually feels like a really solid theory. The engines, the boxy shape, the analogue controls, the whole rough and ready feel.
The Razorcrest was very likely inspired by the Cutlass. The person who designed the Razorcrest, Ryan Church, worked at CIG.
Love your vids mate! Happy I caught one of Shacks streams that had you in years back. Love architecture and your covering of star citizen and other games, keep it up man!
Great showcase! I love the corner welds - crazy detail!
Looks fantastic. Like the moving cooling fan in the cockpit. CIG is always upping their game. Hope you do an Architect Reviews on the Corsair (you're probably working on it right now lol)
The nicest looking brick so far. Nothing can compete with Nomad as an all-rounder yet. But... we shall see about that when/if Pyro will come online though.
Don't forget the Nomads open Cargo Bay. In future it will be easy to steal cargo from the Nomad. Already saw a Video of someone looting the ROC which was parked on a Nomad.
@@vonrosphe3098 Equally that open cargo bay allows rescuing complete strangers not worrying about my own safety.
@@timeflex For this i prefer the Warlock. So they can have some fun in the EMP chamber. ;)
@@vonrosphe3098 That's what I mean under "all-rounder" ;-)
@@timeflex Yeah, right.
It's always the question what you're focus is. If you like ROC Mining and sometimes do other things the Nomad is the best ship for this. If you're more into combat and sometimes want's to do a delivery or bunker missions the Warlock is a better option.
Awesome review as always. One thing to add, the mule fits if you go nose first, you can get out and use the door.
My cutter always makes me smile. In college I had short wheelbase chevy van that was originally used as a service vehicle. My cutter reminds me of it alot. I wish I could decorate it. I would put up NIN, Fugazi and tool posters and then toss in a black light.
I've wanted to start in this ship for 7 years, the Mustang Alpha always felt too premium for a starter.
My first ship has gotta be a rust bucket who's lights and engines flicker on and everything groans in struggle. This thing is PERFECT.
I love how the lights spool up in temperature and flicker on, the engines burr and growl on, the ramp metal groans as it deploys. CIG nailed the feeling I was hoping for.
Now to have this ship in the size of the Firefly... A perfect upgrade path.
I really like the utilitarian design of the Cutter and am surprised that Drake didn't try to cram in extra weapons.
You *CAN* technically jam a roc in the cutter. You need to drive it in forward so you can get out into the ship. It sticks out the end but it stays even into quantum. You can’t reach the ramp panel on foot so you have to bind the open-close door keybind. When it closes the back wheels will clip into the ramp but it goes back to normal when opened. Even if you don’t want to tempt the space kraken you can just leave the door open and pick up a roc at an outpost and fly it around in atmo. This technically makes the cutter the only starter ship with the ability to carry a roc second only to the $90 nomad.
I don't know how many more times I'm going to comment this but I LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I don't even "play" SC anymore but your videos are so good that I can't stop watching. You are always my first recommendation to people who want to know about SC and the ships. Thank you for the awesome entertainment and all the hard work you put into making these videos.
Incredible video Morph! Hope you stream again soon, love watching!
I love the look of it. Get that industrial ship vibe. Its there for the job. Have one and its a blast flying with it. The fuel tanks are monstrous and i love it!
I like the idea of the secondary forward engines. This way even if one of the main engines is shot off or damaged the torque imbalance/spin can be avoided simply by going to vtol and sacrificing top speed. Great little ship.
I love the missile flying in the background the moment you did the exterior shot on pad. 😄
After the release hype wears down the Titan still seems like a better ship, it has much better weapons and 2 entrances when the cargo is full. The Cutter only has 2xS2 hardpoints which is still worse than a Mustang in firepower. If you're only doing light cargo and delivery missions then the Cutter is good, but I also thought the same thing about the Pisces. If you want to throw in combat and bounty hunting then I say the Titan is still a must.
^THIS.
I've taken a long break from this game and I'm not understanding what people like about the cutter. It doesn't particularly have anything another started doesn't have. Are people still weirdly obsessed with toilets? Once the Auroras and Mustangs are updated to the same level of functionality they will be much more competent ships.
But you can't fit the Mule.
While none of that's wrong, I think it'll become a lot stronger once more mechanics come online. Once inventory is fully physicalized, stuff like that personal storage locker will become a lot more important, as ships won't have the magic inventory you can access anywhere on the ship, and you'll probably need to use storage boxes in your cargo space for ships that don't have any. Additionally, once Pyro, and later exploration gameplay loops, come online the value of a massive fuel tank, space for a ground vehicle, and a full hab space will go up quite a bit.
Though that fuel tank is actually a pretty big deal right now. I think that makes it the best shuttle ship, since you can slap the fastest QT drive on it and not worry about being unable to reach anywhere. The only competition is maybe the Pisces, which trades fuel size for being able to spawn from ground vehicle terminals, meaning you essentially always have one within reach. Being able to fit a ground vehicle isn't nothing either, as they're a lot of fun to use, but are pretty limited by the fun spots to use them generally being far from where you can spawn them.
There's also something to be said about just not being cramped, because the Aurora, the Mustang, and even the Titan are some very cramped spaces.
@@apatheticrabbit Range and quality or the level of detail of the design.
nice but at 5:50 you mention the Titan's cargo capacity of 6. It was increased to 8 awhile back. Just so you know. I like the Cutter. I bought it. Like you said it's got more fuel than the Titan but if I'm in the Stanton system and making a cargo run that may need some firepower the Titan is a no brainer over the cutter. And Subliminal was actually able to fly the Cutter with a Roc loaded AND the ramp closed.
content makers intentionally make mistakes so that you correct them in comments and get that engagement algorithm spinning.
Very good review, thanks! I like how you covered Drake's customary rough-around-the-edges vibe. But you missed how the external headlight flickers a bit before it comes on or goes off. That's some really interesting detail along with the spot-welding marks. I agree - the modelers really stepped it up with this one.
Great, thanks for you video, I love this ship, will upgrade to this one right away :)
Been racing with the Cutter a bit. Those VTOLs really allow you to bank in those tight corners!
How do you use vtols to help with turning? Im new and just got the cutter.
@@Joshsurdy the give you more verticle thrust when activated, allowing you to change vector more quickly.
The Cutter's price makes it really appealing. But I love my space penguin Renegade.
The tactile approach to interior with all this switches and buttons is what sold it to me visualy
I can't shake off the feeling that it was somehow influenced by the Starfield video. It is, of course, just an illusion. The same applies to Vulture. ;-)
Beautiful video, Morph - really enjoyed the review 👍
I have a soft spot for Drake and this ship just looks so well detailed.
The Cutter seems to actually be what the people running the Pisces as a starter wanted it to be. I love the Pisces as an auxiliary craft, but it really needs its parent ship. No bed or other amenities necessary for extended range and endurance.
I feel like they should totally do another variant of the Pisces with a proper bed and a super tiny kitchen/living area
Pisces is the best starter ship! Bed logging is broken half the time so waste to get it.
The mule does in fact fit
You just need to drive it in mule door to cabin door
I love the fact that this is in ultrawide. Thank you!
looking through the starter packs, I saw this ship and instantly fell in love with it! If I were to get into Star Citizen, this is the ship I would get!
The cutter is cool, because it has a passing resemblance the the Mandolorian ship, Razor Crest. It was a calculated thought for sure.
A new morphologis upload makes any day better, these videos are so high quality , its very refreshing.
I agree, except for the unimmersive music.
I appreciate the quality of your videos and the time you take to gather the shots. o7
I purchased the cutter and love it. The range is what sold me the most, but I also love the working storage locker. My fav little quirk is the lever that actually moves for deploying and retracting the landing gear.
Its too bad the lever operates backwards. Up should be gear up and down should be down... But its reversed lol
A lot of why it appeals to me is how it reminds me of the Mandalorian’s Razorback.
This is the way
i have an avenger but the cutter is mind blowingly beautiful to me that i'm really consider buying it too lol
With several ships at my disposal, I definitely didn't need the cutter but I had to pick it up anyways. It's surely going to be my new a to b driver. Fun to fly, plenty of space, really fleshed out. Great ship and great video
Love your content and great video as always :). I pledged for the Cutter yesterday to get the LTI for future upgrades. The Spirit C1 will be my daily driver so I don't have a need for the Cutter however I'm seriously considering upgrading the Cutter to the new medical Pices.
In my opinion the best starter ship would be the Nomad it can do everything from bounty hunting to mining with ROC and enough space to do box missions.
For me it depends on price and role:
Aurora cos it's mega cheap has decent components and fits in even a Carrack hangar.
Cutter cos it's mega cheap while having most of the key features of an exploration ship, and great range.
Avenger cos it's pretty cheap and versatile, while still having a very formidable weapons package.
Nomad cos it's almost a medium ship, but will be spawnable in most ships hangars.
Beautiful ship and a beautiful review. Can always rely on Morph for this type of content. I hope that CIG will eventaully be able to bring ships that seem too outdated (cough aurora constellation cough) up to a similar standard as the cutter
Hey, i recently joined Star Citizen and was debating on which Starter I should take. After watching your videos I finally decided upon the Cutter. And I have to say, I love this ship. It's fun to fly and super nice. So, thank you for your videos and your infos. Keep it up.
Great work, as usual. Thank you !
The major advantage of the Cutter starting from 3.19 is the weapon rack which can hold 2 pistols or utility weapons, 1 rifle and 1 huge weapon like railgun, so anytime you blow up for some reason, you have all these weapon on the ship
i love that you don't really need to use the screens at all, or hotkeys, everythings a knob, a switch, a button. it's very clunk click. love it.
I love how this is the new ship you get after doing the tutorial! It’s such a quirky little thing! Flew it back after losing landing gear, a thruster and was heavily damaged. Somehow she made it back to a hangar 😂
I absolutely adore the Cutter. I've been flying it non-stop since Friday!
As always, quality video my guy! Can’t wait for the review of the Corsair
Great video. Ship looks pretty sweet. Like a freight train with V-TOL. If I was fresh, it would be a good ship. For me, gotta love my cutty black.
The thing I like about this ship as a starter that I think most miss is it's resemblance to another starter ship in a little game called Privateer so many years ago. The guns even mount in the same place if I remember correctly. That ship was a flying brick just like this one. Very similar in size and functionality as well. Very fond memories of that game and this ship is a reminder every time I see it.
I love your reviews and I can't wait for you to do the Avenger Titan and Misc Freelancer. Thank you for the video.
Definitely a good addition to the starter ship lineup, pretty impressed with it. Not something I'll use probably, but glad to see it in the game
Great video! Thank you
I bought a Constellation Andromeda and I fell in love with it.
I LOVE the cutter!
It looks like its made entriely from repurposed asbestos!
It looks like the engines should choke and putter, and realease a thick black plume of exhaust!
It looks like the kind of ship your gran would use when going grocery shopping!
The cutter is perfect!
Was eagerly waiting for you review this one, Morph. Thanks for the quality vid once again!
Thoroughly impressed with the Cutter. I especially look forward to the other variants of it.
Haven't played Star citizen yet, researching. but I'd like to do exploration, and this looks like a great starter.
Lets not forget to mention that the Cutter is also the most adorable place shortbus with that yellow paint on.
I like the aesthetics of both ships. The sleek smooth fighter looking ship and the workhorse
My very first ship/ game package was actually the freelancer. Stand alone ship was gladius. Ground vehicle was the dragonfly. My dream ships (sub cap) a2 for sure. The F8 and Sabre as well.
These videos make me want to play Star Citizen so bad, I just wish I could run it. Keep up the good work!!
I LOVE how it looks! It is like the vehicles of the future in all advanced citties.
I think citties of star citizen will use this kind looking flying civilian vehicles
Firstly, Thank you for uploading wide screen.
I'm modding all the vehicles from Star Citizen into Starfield. I just need a programmer. Find me on nexus.
Very nice vid Morph! Although dont forget the Titan has double the amount of storage the Cutter does
This is the closest I have yet seen to a Star Citizen analog to the old Tarsus from Wing Commander: Privateer. It is like the Tarsus and the Cutlass had a love child, I love it. The cockpit glass, the slope of the flat nose, the old school monitors with the keyboard, the gun placement, they all scream Tarsus. The Aurora used to be the Tarsus analog, but it never had the proper cluttery rust bucket aesthetic. ;)
I said it before and I'll say it again. Thank you for the 21:9 aspect ration on your videos my man! ❤
Your star citizens videos are beautiful! Thank you!
You did a really good job, here. Keep it up!
It’s a fun little ship. Got the Cutter starter pack for my daughter (trying to get her and her fiancé into the game). Btw, would love to see an “architect reviews” for the Corsair! 👍
personnaly i think the best thing about the cutter is his quantum capacity, with is 8000 of quantum fuel you will be able to travel to bigger system like pyro in the future or swap to a VK-00 and travel very fast in a single system and that is really a game changer since the cutter is the only starter with that mucth travel capacity
The Mule does fit in the Cutter! If you park face first you have just enough room to exit the Mule and go through the door inside. you have to park with the back tires as close to the back door as possible, but it fits and you can get out and fly the ship.
I really like the look of The Cutter. Reminds me of the ship the mandalorian used in the show, well, The Mandalorian.
The Cutter launch is extremely successful in design and execution. It definitely has the Drake flavor throughout, it has practical and imaginative ways to utilize it, and it has a distinct advantage against other designs and compliments the Drake fleet perfectly. Well done CIG.
I still hace the old ship+MP+Campaign pack, sitting happy with my aurora and probably won't upgrade. But it's cool to see these info vids
great suggestions my first ships are the cutlass black and the caterpillar
I've flown all the "starter" ships. Loved my Titan. Loved the Nomad. The others were fine. Owned a 600i and Warden combo for a long time. 3 flavors of Connies were last years loves. Bought and melted my MSR more times than I can count. But the Cutter. The Cutter is my endgame ship. It is my space VW bus. Back my STV in it off to the left back corner so I can walk around it to get in and out of the ship and just wander. Love it. Got it and a Corsair and hardly fly the Corsair even though I do love it too. My other few ships are just place holders at this point if I need to scratch a combat or racing itch.
Awesome content!
The mule absolutely fits, I flew all over Stanton, even did a few missions with it. It's not ideal but it's entirely possible to use it if you need it :D
I'm sure someone else has said this, but it looks like the winnebago from space balls. I love it 👍
Thank you for telling me that I've made a good choice when bought this ship. I'm feeling better now.
I have best of both, got the titan and the cutter. That's all I need for zero to hero, although the corsair calls to me. I'd love to see some aftermarket hard point additions to the cutter though.
The misc reliant is still my favourite. It cant do anything all that well but it looks cool, it has the best visibility hands down and it feels very nice to fly
