I started with a basic Avenger Titan package then upgraded a bunch lol, went from that to a Cutlass Black, to a Constellation Andromeda, to a Drake Corsair, and also own a RSI Scorpius for combat. But the Corsair is no snob either when it comes to firepower. But love your videos man! You really capture that true, authentic SC experience lmao no smoke and mirrors
I've used this Combo since the Roc got released, though it was with a Aquila to Start as the Taurus was not released. Once it was released though lucky for me i already had the Jpeg purchased. Now a lit of my friends like to use the mole for mining, i prefer taking two others with me in my Taurus. So a pilot, Two ROC's and two ppl to drive the ROC's. Once we find a nice cluster of Hadinite (we try and find two cluster) we drop of one ROC per cluster while the Taurus gives Air support from above. We don't ROC mine foe profit in our case, we practice ROC mining for our Geology training (Science gameplay). We are in an Exploration org so its all going practice for us. Great video loved your enthusiasm, very relaxing and entertaining video.
This is my exact setup. the Taurus has a 179 storage and I found that you get less jumping around with the roc if you turn it off and close the doors on it while lifting a lowering it from the Taurus. also the storage in the back is used to smuggle contraband as when your ship is scanned it wont show whatever is back there
Ohhh I’m gonna have to try this! Last time, the ROC jumped so much it nearly killed me lol and cool, it’s good to know that the back part has some use.
I love the Taurus, but I find it too hard to land on some places to Roc mine. Uneven terrain and rocks in the way. I used in game money to buy a cutty for Roc hauling and save my Taurus for cargo runs and bounty hunting.
Yea, it is a bit challenging at times, specially with the cargo bay having to be lowered. I’m keeping it so I can haul the stuff I refine after it being mined with the prospector.
My first ship was an Aurora, quickly upgraded to a 125a for bunkers. The lower turret of your Taurus is actually a tractor beam, for loading and unloading cargo when the cargo elevator is down. Like the cargo room on the Mercury Star Runner, the room which used to house the snub fighter on other Constellations is shielded, so will be used to prevent scans from detecting illegal cargo inside. The enemy you fought was an NPC spawned for someones bounty mission, you can tell because he has a space in his name (players can't use spaces). As long as you're in the armistice zone of the mining facility (it's the no bullets icon in the upper right, the other is a satellite to indicate that criminal offenses will be logged) those NPCs actually can't damage you. The Constellation series are extremely strong combat ships, capable of doing very high and extreme threat bounty missions.
This is my go to ROC mining setup except with the Phoenix instead of the Taurus. The lift gives you a roll on roll off capability and decreases the chance that you'll land the ship in a way that makes the ROC difficult or impossible to get back into the ship.
I started with the Origin 100i on the occasion of the Red Festival event, but now I do delivery missions and illegal corgo transport with the 315p, much more spacious, I like it a lot. Now, I want a Vulture for salvage mission to buy a Prospector for mining. Thanks for the nice video.
If you can only own ONE ship, the Constellation Taurus is THAT SHIP to own lol... It's literally a Cutless Black on steroids. It can cover several game loops easily. I a Wing Commander and still, I glorify this ship. ❤
It is really the best overall ship. Taurus hauls much more than other Connie variants. I also picked up a Drake Corsair for Pyro (if we ever actually get there)
Glad you did this video o was thinking about this too the phoneix variant. It would be nice out of all the videos you made on the roc to choose an overall yojr favourite out of them all. What would you take out above the rest and why
Love the Taurus! Only one turret though, the lower turret is a tractor beam turret for loading the ship.... The other Constellation models have weapons in the lower turret.
Not all of them. The Aquila has a turret in the bottom but a scanner in the top. It's an exploration ship. The Taurus being a cargo ship makes sense to have a tractor beam attached. The combat variant 'Andromeda' and the luxury variant 'Phoenix'both have double turrets, though.
Drake cutter, is what i started with. Im new as of june but only own the Cutter and the Titan. I really only run cargo so the Cutter is all I need haha!
@@zirHazeGaming for sure, when I try it in my Connie it tries to fall through the cargo hold when I make it go up. I love my Connie but man sometimes I regret melting my Cutlass. My first ship gone
Woah I actually had to google Janalite! First time hearing it! I’ve done a few hand mining run. But now that I know about this new mineral I will do it more often. Might do a video on my first run 👀
@zirHazeGaming good luck my friend. It's stupid rare. I too have been on the hunt for this legendary jem. If I ever find it, I don't think I'd sell it. Just keep it as a decoration when we have persistent hangers
Pair a PvP player and a PvE player and see what you get. Answer: SC. Ohhhh...I found a ship! Ohhhh... hype, hype hype! Ohhh... Been there done that. Next steps to follow: - Die, die die!
What do you think of the Constellation Taurus + Greycat ROC pair?
seems like a good pair why not!

Avenger Titan takes me back for when I first started lol and thank you! I like to call things out how I see them 😅

Woahh that is some awesome coordination! I was able to picture that whole process! And thank you! Just keeping it real 😅 Love this game!
Lovely ship! Maybe I can afford it one day. Great seeing you swat that pest!
That pest though they could get me 😅

The cutlass wanted to pirate you without missiles and facing your guns?
That was fun 😂
He def found out 😂

Yea, constellation are a really good do it all ship! Love them! I have the Taurus, C1, and then pledging the prospector next!
This is my go to ROC mining setup except with the Phoenix instead of the Taurus. The lift gives you a roll on roll off capability and decreases the chance that you'll land the ship in a way that makes the ROC difficult or impossible to get back into the ship.
Heck yea! Connies are a good setup overall! I hope the fix the ROC issues soon though 🙏🏽

No problem! I’ve yet to try Salvaging! Can’t wait 🙌🏽
I had no idea you could scan rocks inside your non-mining ship, good to know!
You sure can 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
If you can only own ONE ship, the Constellation Taurus is THAT SHIP to own lol... It's literally a Cutless Black on steroids. It can cover several game loops easily. I a Wing Commander and still, I glorify this ship. ❤
This post right here 🚀
I agree. The taurus can do multiple things and make you enough money that you can buy other ships in game.
It is really the best overall ship. Taurus hauls much more than other Connie variants. I also picked up a Drake Corsair for Pyro (if we ever actually get there)
Glad you did this video o was thinking about this too the phoneix variant. It would be nice out of all the videos you made on the roc to choose an overall yojr favourite out of them all. What would you take out above the rest and why
Ohhh that video is coming! So stay tuned, thank you for watching Commander 🫡
I mean, cutty black + roc is basically the basic pillar of starting multirole gameplay.
Kinda! 🤔
If you like the Taurus, then you will definitely like the Valkyrie.
Valkyrie is nice!
Love the Taurus! Only one turret though, the lower turret is a tractor beam turret for loading the ship.... The other Constellation models have weapons in the lower turret.
Ohhh didn’t know that! Thanks for clarifying 🙏🏽
Not all of them. The Aquila has a turret in the bottom but a scanner in the top. It's an exploration ship. The Taurus being a cargo ship makes sense to have a tractor beam attached. The combat variant 'Andromeda' and the luxury variant 'Phoenix'both have double turrets, though.
that was sp perfect vaporizing that ship..you were minding your own business and he was probably so mad engaged then got destroyed..lol...so good
That was one of the most satisfying feelings in this game haha
It was an NPC. You can tell based on name often. NPC have space in their name: first and last name. Sometimes a nickname in quotes.
Drake cutter, is what i started with. Im new as of june but only own the Cutter and the Titan. I really only run cargo so the Cutter is all I need haha!
Haha nice start! The Cutter is a great ship!
Would you choose Taurus over Andromeda?
Tough question! Right now, I would say the Taurus!
I liked using my cutty better. Was way faster for me.
Cutty is def faster then the Connies!
@@zirHazeGaming for sure, when I try it in my Connie it tries to fall through the cargo hold when I make it go up. I love my Connie but man sometimes I regret melting my Cutlass. My first ship gone
I go Hercules M2 with a ROC. It feel like overkill.
Damn! That’s like business class ROC mining lol
Do you go out Hand mining in caves much anymore? Have you found the Rarest Minable, Janalite?
Woah I actually had to google Janalite! First time hearing it! I’ve done a few hand mining run. But now that I know about this new mineral I will do it more often. Might do a video on my first run 👀

Lol that rare huh! Challenge accepted 🚀💯

Ohhhh...I found a ship!
Ohhhh... hype, hype hype!
Ohhh...
Been there done that. Next steps to follow:

SC at its finest 😅
nice video
Thank you 🙌🏽
Lol bro doesn't know how to count to 10 XD a 6200 signature is also a dead giveaway... 10 hadinite
Look man, was in a hurry lol
@@zirHazeGaming I'm only messing 😂 this game is great!
