I to believe the Titan is the best starter ship. Can do a little bit of everything and has decent firepower. It's not terribly expensive to buy in game at just under 800k. Last week ran into a couple new people and sent them both 800k to go buy Titans. 👍
If the titan could fit a dragonfly, id be very happy
What would be the buy after titan? What should i get next?
@@theredeyedjedi701 Depends on what you want to do. Combat? Cargo? Mining? And do you mean with real cash or in game cash?
@@Dracounguis in game. Im thinking anything with a turret or copilot seat. Idk though been playin a week
@@theredeyedjedi701 if you still want to do a variety of things I guess I would say either the Cutlass Black or the Freelancer. They both have a turret. Though the Freelancer's is rear firing so it's more of a defensive cargo ship. While the Cutlass is more of an offensive multi-role ship. If you just want a two-seat fighter ship, the Hurricane. It has a turret with four big guns on it. But if combat isn't your thing the best money making ship is the Prospector mining ship. While it is just a single person ship, having a second person flying around scouting for profitable rocks is very helpful. And once you are making _millions_ you can buy many other ships to fill any role you want to play. 😉
Fully agree on starter ships needing more polish. They should be first in line for getting gold standard passes. The 100i shows just how incredible a starter ship with that high quality can be.
They seriously need some help.
The mustang cargo not working is insane to me. I would imagine many people choose that as their starter ship.. me included. Though I plan to upgrade to the Titan.
@@CrzBonKerz21 I chose the Mustang Alpha initially (5 years ago), and it felt so limiting. As soon as CIG revealed the Nomad I upgraded and haven't looked back.
I got "duped" into getting the mustang without knowing of its nonexistent cargo.
Upgraded to the titan, but fuck, that's infuriating
Agree on every point. Whenever I see a starter ship I always become nostalgic, and they keep on growing on me. Also, amazing quality as always.
As very long time Aurora pilot (LN & ES) it is nice to see someone touch the on utility of the these basic ships. They can all do a lot and are very cheap to run, each has a weak spot but they are excellent generalist ships. And while you wait for that big ship to be reclaimed you can a few quick jobs in your "starter".
I think you are going to see more Auroras when they polish the cargo trunks, especially if they hold 3 boxes for delivery and a tray for riles/ ammo : )
"In the end, it's about how you use it" had me freakin dying! Good stuff
;)
I just bought a Reliant Tana using in game credits. It's quickly becoming my favorite ship. I have been soloing group VHRT bounties with it and escaping unscathed. It's a small target, very fast, very maneuverable and can be outfitted with two pilot controlled turrets for a total of 6 gimballed hardpoints. It feels wrong to take down a wing of Hornets, Hurricanes and Vanguards with this tiny ship but it also feels good. REAL GOOD. Best of all there's room for cargo and the respawn time is.... wait for it (or rather don't) only 45 seconds. Blink and you could miss it.
Great video!
My first starter ship was the Freelancer I bought back in 2014. I upgraded it to a Freelancer DUR, but I've never regretted making it my first.
Between the 100 & 300i, I wouldn’t mind throwing a few more $ down to help support the game. I think the 300i is a great starter for someone who wants a small ship that can do a little bit of everything to test the waters before branching out into a more role specific ship. And after getting a new ship it’s still nice to go pack to for some touring.
Great timing, was just looking for something to watch!
I look back on my mustang with fond memories, absolutely loved that ship, its handling, and aesthetics. Eventually used it to trade up to a C2 over the years
This was soooo helpful! Thank you!
Great video, I'll definitely point any new recruits to it. I upgraded from my starter ship, but still bought a bunch of beginner-level ships in-game because of the reasons you mentioned.
The Mustang still not having any cargo capacity is a crime by the developers.
Agreed
The cargo refactor should make the rear cargo of the alpha usable, and the mustangs do technically have interiors, it's just not easily utilized. you can shove boxes behind the seats if you have a multitool with the tractor attachment. And if you're in 0g, you even get back there yourself and can access vehicle storage. (which the mustangs do actually have) I'm expecting another pass on the mustangs to make this actually usable normally at some point in the future.
Technically the only variant of the Mustang that can carry a box.. CORRECTLY is the BETA.
Cuz you can get out of the seat and go in the back of the ship.
You can TRY with the ALPHA but it's more trouble than it's worth.
@@PhillipLemmon The fact that all the other mustangs do have accessible vehicle inventory providing that you manage to get behind the seat shows me that CIG likely intends for the space behind the seats to be accessible normally at some point. The mustang was just modeled before that was considered. So I expect it to get at least a slight redesign at some point.
I'm currently on a mission to make a million in my mustang alpha. It's small size and great maneuverability means that I can absolutely fly circles around larger targets in bounty missions. It's very quickly become one of my favorite combat ships. If you haven't already, I employ you to throw on some laser repeaters and go hit up some HRT or VHRT bounties.
Doing that in my Tana right now, but I do wanna grab a Mustang and give it a whirl.
My starter ship was the cutty black due to me having 2 buddies that wanted to get into the game around the same time I love my cutlas it offered my little group so much freedom to explore a ton of different gameplay loops “yes not a starter ship” but I’ve never regretted it being my first ship
The Pisces is the best choice for beginners , imo. I love her !
Try to log out in this ship. Sometimes it's better to have a bed.
You captured the differnces of the ships very well. Great insights for new and old players alike. I love my Pisces. Claims in 40 seconds, so I use it as a taxi a lot, and it worked great for JT. But no bed, so there is that limitation. o7
One thing about the Aurora, though, is you wind up on the roof getting out of bed.
Love a roof bed!
@@SpaceTomato especially how i learned a hard way to carry medpens. Ever died on the roof of your ship?
I wish the pices had an version that gave it a bed and bathroom maybe small kitchen too. Sacrifice some of that box and extra seat space
Great video!
LOVE my Pisces - in fact, i bought three of them! right now there's nothing that really needs a bed - i always end the day at a space station and repair/refuel as necessary...
No bed necessary yet. But sooooon!
I do love the Pisces though. Such a great ship.
I would agree with the points about the Pieces. I own many of those larger ships that you spoke about. for getting around Stanton. The Pieces is the ship I find I use the most to get around. Its small, Fast, and can move myself and a couple of friends/org mates to meeting places.
I currently have the 135c and C8X and love them.
While I recently got my Titan back from my BuyBack list; I still really enjoy flying my 125a and 135c. Sure, CIG really charged way too much for those ships imo and they should have sold them at just +$5 over the Aurora MR and Mustang Alpha; they do offer quite a decent package. Although the 300-series is clearly superior in terms of firepower and luxury interior, the little 100-series can still get a lot of stuff crammed int; especially these boxes during Xenothreat. Having practically unlimited hydrogen fuel is a nice bonus too but it's a shame that CIG did not turn the 100-series into a true startership at $35 instead of $50.
Heck, the interior of the 100-series is as Spartan as it gets without much luxury at all and unlike the 300-series where each variant has its own internal color scheme; the 100-series variants all look exactly the same on the inside and have little to no light. As I recall the bed was also supposed to retract into the wall but CIG hasn't bothered to fix it since release of the ship and the panel remains dead. At $50 for a 100i it would have been nice to have a few more amenities but the interior space is incredibly small. Still, I wouldn't mind a small slide-out Porta-Potti and a small weapon rack for a single rifle. At present time it only has a very tiny comparetment on the exterior but it looks more like one of those mini-safes you find in hotel rooms.
Still, ships like the 100-series, the Pisces, and the Titan can actually store cargo; unlike the actual starter ships (Aurora-series and Mustang Alpha). It's very odd why CIG never bothered to fix these ships as they could simply attach some Stor-Al containers to the underside in order for the ships to ferry some cargo for the time being while CIG works on a more permanent fix.
The pisce Cx8 was the best ship i've ever used
Great voice, I enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
A solid run down good sir
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
The 100i barely need any polishing passage, except for the retractable bed that currently does not work.
It already come with all the components accessible inside and outside like the Gladius. The only missing feature is a locker for when the inventory will be physicalized, but it has working ship inventory. The other finished starting ship is the Nomad, which has all of it (except working lockable doors like on the MSR and C2)
If the pilot-seat of the aurora would rotate , it would be an almost perfect ship. Specially looking forward to the ship-to-ship docking of the aurora.
Mgl you have a golden voice you could straight up do voice overs.
You videos snd cuts and formating a kwolaty!
Keep it up!
Thanks Peter! I'd love to some day take a shot at that!
@@SpaceTomato typo hell😵💫😬
🖖🖖🖖
Best Star citizen UA-camr voice
Awesome!
I loved the 100i vor currier missions. Oh man i enjoyed it so much. Now i have a 325a and still trying to find a good upgrade but i dont know if there is any that goes over the qualities of the 325a. It's beautiful, you have a bed, toilett, good fire power, 4scu, great view out of the ship and other stuff. The only thing is the hydrogensucking but apart from that...
I also have a 325a with Sagebrush paint that I pledged for years ago. Only recently started playing and I'm really loving the ship. Sure it's not the best fighter, but it can hold its own pretty well outside of PvP. And yeah, the Titan can hold more cargo and the ramp may be better to have... But god damn I love looking at and flying around in my space BMW.
I wish I got the coffee machine and food processor for it, but alas; hopefully I can get those in-game at some point (or they pop up as extras on the store and not only available at purchase of the ship).
The aurora mr is one hell of a ship. 4xs1 gimballed slots and some internal cargo.
I got the Titan starter package for $60 back in 2019...
BEST move I ever made.
I'll be buying the BETTER versions of the other starters IN GAME (Mustang Beta, Aurora LN)
I'm not giving CIG ANYMORE of my money.
The quality of this video holy hell
This video was right on point, unlike your last podcast, EP 36. There is more single-player use in Star Citizen than the multiplayer content you were talking about in the podcast. People will often play the game according to their playstyle and allotted time. If I were to give statistics that only CIG has, I would say 80% single-player, 20 multiplayer.
Note: The Pisces and Mustang Alpha have no beds, which is a considerable negative. I agree that the Aurora is the best starter ship for price and use to begin in-game.
I think the best ships as "starters", once they get their cargo trunks, are going to be the Mustang and the Aurora, (the Aurora #1, beacuse of the bed),especially if the trunk is able to carry 3 boxes for delivery missions, and have trays like the Gladius to hold rifles and ammo. I would also say that the Nomad with a ROC would be the great combo for the entry miner.
The jump point size logistics argument is one of the best possible distinguishers between the Odyssey and the Carrack imo; a base of system operations versus to a vanguard fringe explorer.
Jump points ? alive? Please share coodinates ! ;-) (Not trolling here plz)
I will always have a Titan in my hangar. Most useful ship in my opinion. Pisces as well for transport of more than one. Not good for combat, but can land anywhere quickly.
I'm planning on grabbing an Aurora after XT and working up again just for kicks.
The 100 series is insane fun and can be spawned from vehicle pads (at least for now in 3.16.1) so its a great ship to consider. Titans are just pure value whether you buy them in game or with cash. Auroras and Mustangs are must haves even if you have bigger ships in the hangar. Sometimes you just need a small ship to zip around or after moving your other ships around, having a start with real fast reclaim time allows you to zip around Stanton without having to wait.
I love my starter ships. Keeping one or two makes a lot of sense even as your fleet grows. Still have my Aurora for now but probably trade it for a 125A once I CCU it away.
I actually just bought the 100i yesterday. I always liked the look of it but figured that as it's a starter, it's fairly useless. I was wrong; it's so fun to fly and is a great daily driver, plus I can finally use that subscriber paint everybody has, but nobody uses lol.
One thing that was not mentioned about the 100i is that it is the only ship of those mentioned that can be called at a ground vehicle terminal.
My starter ship was the Cutlass Black roughly 2 years ago which I waited 6 months after buying it just to get computer to run the game.
It doesn't fit within your starter citeria, but I doubt i'll ever let go of my Nomad. It's versatile, can haul enough cargo to be a profitable light freighter, and with 3 S1 shields can tank as well as some heavy fighters.
Last year, I finished the solo Vanduul Swarm in my stock Nomad. It performed surprisingly well.
Great video! Was fun doing some of the formation flying so thanks for letting me do that!
I started with the aurora. Loved it. Was my first 'wow' if the game. The details and features blew me away. Eventually upgraded to the 300i and never stopped upgrading. Lol
i had a free mustang omega game package with a purchase of an amd gpu a few years back. I am happy I upgraded it to the 315p.
Although not a "starter" ship, for some of the reasons you mentioned, I'm hanging onto my 350R.
I am a big 350r fan but melted the one i bought for cash and bought in game. It's only 1.6 mil which is a bargain for one of the safest ships in game. I love it when light fighters go for me ( do they think its a base 300i ?) and can't even get close. And its got cargo space. Love it.
The 350 is a great ship. I've seen some folks work wonders dogfighting with it.
Just upgraded my kore to the tana variant not too long ago and wow. I've never loved the reliant series so much haha. They definitely need some love tho 😬
I've got love for the Tana for sure. I'm taking it out on VHRT group bounties solo and cleaning up. I'm flying it more often than my Sentinel.
I upgraded my Avenger Titan to the Reliant Kore. I felt that the additional firepower from the Toshima turrets made it worth while, even if it doesn't have a bed. And surprisingly, I got a Nomad loaner as well, and damn that's a good ship too.
I remember upgrading the Titan to the Reliant Tana. Had a lot of fun with that ship, as well as it having a bed too.
100i is really worth it for it's price, it is fast so if you want to rush for zeta prolamide mission it's perfect , you have a bed, a little bit of cargo space "2scu" but you can try that commercial game play, it is manoeuverable and small, easy to land almost everywhere, this ship is almost perfect, but the only thing is you better not try to dogfight with XD.
Anyway I really enjoy to fly over some mountains with, I do recommend.
Nice vid =).
Agreed. I love the 100i. Thanks for watching and speaking such gospel :)
@@SpaceTomato I do my best XD
made me grab a 315p , might not use it much , but it should be handy when that tractor works
"and then there's the 125A, a tiny ship with a bed that has enough firepower to take a shot at a Gladius..."
That's one lethal bed.
Long time backer and lucky owner of a nice fleet that includes some capital ships. But as Space Tomato said, keep a starter. I upgraded my base package to the Reliant Tana, and always find a reason to pull it out. It will be my go to small time bounty hunter / mission runner as it has 2 beds, 1 scu of cargo, weapon/armor locker. Caution to newer backers, it is probably the buggiest 'starter' in the game at the moment.
Top notch
Some of my favorite ships are starters! Pisces for life!
Out of all the ships I have seen, I have yet to find one, I would like to have as a daily operator in game... They all have the same general beginning, more like a "cigarette boat" style with stuff involved weapons and so forth... I' like the wider semi awkward style ships not a center cockpit, but off center one. You had made a video that I've been searching for unsuccessfully that talks about it... Ships made that are similar in looks to other games and references... From what I have gathered Star Citizen has some differences to Starfield, for instance, Starfield one cannot loot bodies (got that from your vid btw) and flying around any planet just to do it. be safe Boss...
i personally use my picses as a shuttle for my 890, along with my 85x
If I had to start over it would be the Avenger Titan instead of the Cutty Black but the black came with LTI and I was willing to spend 100 bucks to get the capability upgrade for cargo and claim jumper missions. I bought the Pisces C8X as an LTI token holder for later upgrade and kinda fell in love with the Star Citizen Minivan. I figure if the Nomad is the Star citizen Pickup Truck, the Pisces is the dodge caravan with the rear seats removed for cargo.
.
Even being Concierge now, I'd still start a friend off in the Avenger Titan for a First ship or myself if I HAD to start from zero.
my starter ship is the vanguard sentinel and i love it
Hello everyone! I’m pretty new to the game but I love as it looks and evolving so I’m gonna give a try. I’m thinking between 2 ships as a starter ship but not sure. The Avengers Titan and 325a . Please can you help me out which could be better for a brand new player? Many thanks in advance!
The Pisces is by far my favorite starter, sure there is no bed but starters are short range vehicles anyway and the logging out mechanic in SC hardly ever works properly either.
Pisces gang rise up!
its such a great ship to fly and do FPS missions with
a outright amazing shuttle.
I really hope that we will see some sort of small hangar module for the Hull D and E, so that I can bring my pisces around with them.
Personally speaking, I think that the CNOU Nomad far surpasses the Avenger in terms of value for cost.
While it may cost $95 for the full starter pack and thus be at the very upper edge of what one might consider a "starter" ship, what you get in exchange is a vessel that is not only capable of carrying a significant amount of cargo, but can carry any of the Cyclone variants, a gravbike, or the Greycat ROC, which is even more of an efficiency multiplier when you consider how lucrative planetary mining can be. Beyond that, the ship is exceptionally well armed with three Size 3 mounts and the maneuverability to make comfortable use of fixed weaponry should the player so choose, it even has a pair of Size 4 missile racks to add a significant amount of missile firepower to the already respectable gun armament.
Besides that, it has longer legs than the Avenger with many magnitudes more Hydrogen Fuel capacity and a not-inconsiderate amount of Quantum Fuel capacity advantage, it's even better protected with three Size 1 shield generators.
Finally, it gets everything a solo player could want with a fully realized living area, bed and kitchen included, which is something to seriously consider when you think about how you'll need to keep your character fed and hygienic.
I started with an Aurora and hated it. Besides feeling small and cramped it was too buggy. Getting thrown out into space just for getting out of bed or opening my inventory got really old.
Upgraded to the Titan and felt way more at home, absolutely worth the extra few bucks.
Is it worth jumping into the game with this current event or wait till the invictus?
5:43 I always say $65 to include a SQ42 pre-order. Total cost is less than the game alone is going to cost, and even if you think you're only interested in the PU, I promise you're not gonna pass up a chance to play a finished product. Just my $0.02.
im gonna wait for the 200i series as a starter since the 100i is abit to small for me
I started out with the Aurora, and i didnt really like it. While i loved the way it handles i hated the lack of cargo space and how it looked, and i noticed i was putting a lot of effort into grinding so that i could get a better ship. A few days ago i upgraded to the Pisces and i dont regret it at all. It can do everything i need it to and now i spend more time just having fun without rushing to upgrade to a larger or better ship. I do miss the Aurora's bed though
I really like the Pisces. I like Star Trek and it's very shuttlecraft looking. While it doesn't have a bed, being able to carry a couple extra people is nice. And at 400k, why wouldn't you buy one in game. I'll use mine when I just want to chill out and run a couple box missions or claim it wherever I go if I just need to taxi myself somewhere. 41 second claim time.
I'm firmly on the Titan soap box. Bang for buck it's the most versatile/capable ship that I'd classify as a starter. It's also gotten a rework so it functions well, which is more than you can say for the poor Reliant series. On top of that, the view from the titan cockpit is fantastic.
I think Reliant will get their love once they start planning and implementing the unique gameplay surrounding them, mainly newscasting and the R&D loop.
most of those small ship's will not get much done in Pyro ,but in a smaler system like Stanton for insystem travel and some missions yes tay will be great
"In the end... it's about how you use it"- Wise words from a wiser man
I picked the pisces, but i cant wait to switch it out for the Hull A when it releases
Just upgraded to the Hull A from a Titan. I'm excited for the release. I'm using that as my base ship to buy all the other ships in-game.
Buy a pisces with aUEC when you get the Hull A. I don't have many ships, but I always keep coming back to my pisces.
@@fnunez yeah ive had the game since 2019, no matter how many ships ive had, i always liked using the pisces every once in a while.
Besides, you never forget your first ̶c̶a̶r̶ spaceship
Reliant Tana.
This is all.
Smallest ship that contains:
Bed, multicrew, shoilet, locker, floorspace, 1 SCU grid
Bonus: guns, missiles, and bubble cockpit
@@Kyle-sr6jm and it can do VHRTs
my is Mustang Gamma, second ship is Hull A and third Hull D
i have a carrack sabre talon cuttlas and i just got a 100i because i want to have more fun to play by myself
I got the pisecs game pack for 45 and I fucking love it, good guns, good cargo, looks nice and is just an over all good at everything ship
I was only going to get one ship I started the game at IAE 2021 (or 51 in game LOL ) so I got the mustang as it was $5 cheaper I found out quick that it was not a ship that I will be happy in for long. so I upgraded it to the Titan which made it a far better ship that front Gat rips through bounties just ran out of ammo quick, so I changed it to a repeater . this is my now starter / server reset ship.
the problem then was at IAE I got to fly other NICE ships I tested other fighters I liked the Buccaneer but for the front screen was hard to see through. and then fell in love with the Sabre ...SO.......
Yep you got it but I got that spartan with LTI first then upgraded it to the Sabre. this biggest problem is your eyes start to look at the next ship and how to get it. mining you say ok I rented a prospector and found I couldn't mine Quantum without changing the mining heads ..... SO.... I thought it would be great to have my own ... looked at it in game and looked at how much time it would take ........ Yep I got one too LOL not in game I mined my way to $5mil renting an Andromeda to deliver my cargo and got a MSR in game which made me feel very happy . now I can mine and deliver without renting :)
So even thought the Prospector is a lot more than the other starters it will help people get the next ship 3 runs will get you $700,000 easy $70,000 to rent a Andromeda .
So I would go with a Prospector as a first ship , just whish it was cheaper.
I would say the Aurora just doesn't have enough space. It's my starter ship and I found single box delivery missions difficult simply because of how small the compartment is. I have glitched through the roof on a number of occasions.
I have some expensive ships, but I want to start with Aurora ES
Can anyone explain why they take ships off the store? the caterpillars was on there few days ago and I was thinking about getting one. i log on today and they removed it -_-
will it ever come back?
I chose the 135i. It has a bed, fuel intakes for hydrogen, 6 SCU which is the most room in its class, instant spawn at vehicle pads, oh and it's one of the most beautiful ships in the game...
I went for the 125a because it has notably better speed and maneuverability, and still has 2 scu's of cargo. At that size class you really don't have much of a use for more.
@@jaide1312 I have a Vanguard Warden for combat. I wanted something different. Also the 100 series is arguably the worst at combat versus all other starter ships*
@@DraegerV1 agreed. The SIX SCU for a ship this small is a winner. It will always have a use as a sneak in, load up, get the hell out of there back to your Carrack.
@@DraegerV1 Didn't really get it for combat, having 150m/s higher top speed just matters to me.
@@jaide1312 that's logical, for me in the 100 series I spend maybe 5% of my time flying around at top speed, I'll forgoe the extra movment and missles for 3x the cargo space, o7
Avenger Titan FTW!!!!!!
what jumppoint is my merchantman gonna take now though? since ppl have been saying it's probably gonna end up in the area of "just not capital" class is that gonna take a medium jump point or large SO MANY QUESTIONS
With beam of 200m, height at 80m, I will be really surprised if I can fly my BMM through anything but a large.
It'll definitely be large. That thing will be hefty to transport.
avenger still considered best over starting ship, around the $70 price point?
315 and 325 are both amazing value (despite what the deluded Execute says) they are both gorgeous. The 315 is the smallest ship with a bed and a tractor beam. The 325 is a fighter with a bed !
had both, agree. 315 also has 12 SCU of cargo space. 325 not real fighter, same as titan.
The Titan and Nomad are considered to be starters by CIG and are sold with game packages (even thou the Nomad just to events). That's in big contrast to the 300i which for whatever reason is not considered to be a starter by CIG. And while small jump points might be useful few ships will have to fuel to travel through multiple of them. Oh and the 125a has just more missiles and is more maneuverable but it's not really worth it over the 100i as the guns are the same.
Well...okay then.
Figured I made my criteria clear enough. I wish the Nomad was cheaper, though.
And yes, I don't push the 125 over the 100. If anything the 135c is the best offering in the line imo
@@SpaceTomato Yeah if the 135c wouldn't cost more then the Titan it would be a great ship. And while price is a good measurement for a starters, the classification as such from CIG matters more to me. Because that's the reason the Nomad has a Claim time of 2:15min and the 300i of 12:09min. Still a good video as the points are all correct and the reason why I hold on to my Nomad.
@@SpaceTomato the 135 is surely the keeper. Um…. And it will fit in your Carrack.
About the Jump points I still think they are useful in some situations, there will be systems that are connected through small jump points and if you want to reach the other one with a big ship you'd have to jump through 3 or 4 other systems
You will be able to easily get to that system and once there, if you have the money, you can simply order your big ship to get sent (uhh... shipped?) to you so you don't have to spend time taking the long route if you don't want to, pretty specific use but, eh
I do believe they will also make some environments suited only for small ships (like caves both in atmo and in big asteroids)
315 has 800+ quant fuel, with most efficent engine it sure may travel far
It's a shame the Pisces does not have a bed as its nigh on perfect with low IR/EM
There's another reason for buying ships in the pledge store: Because I want my toy now.
They should give the Titan a fold down toilet. Then it would be perfect ;).
at least at this state i only can recomand to get only a starter ship, this way you see all gameplay loops and not just hige end trading.
I love my littel 325!
also is it just me , or why do we have ships with a bed but not toilite?
Like in real world. All caravans and campers have beds. Not all have toilets.
Lets goo
I wanted to like the reliant tana but it’s just so bugged at the moment…
im still keeping my titan ^^
I got the Mustang as my starter. Not used it since I got the Gladius. Keeping something I do not use bothers me but it is tied to my SC game package. Unsure what to do. Ideas welcome...
The mustang is not in a great place! If all you do is fight, then the Gladius is definitely a better choice!
@@SpaceTomato the Gladius definitely satisfies the fighting itch. I rented it during IAE and fell in love. Very happy with the purchase. Was thinking of upgrading the Mustang to the Pisces to open up additional game loops without breaking the bank. Thinking ahead to the next wipe the Pisces + Gladius feels like each ship in the stsrter fleet will have a use.
@@MashJVS , you can always upgrade the Mustang to another ship.
@@MashJVS the Pisce is really fun to use
Thanks for staying positive space 🍅 we need this right now, hope is what's keeping this game moving forward if we get new people finding this game it will keep CIG focused on the PU and not on squadron 42 🤞
Sq42 will bring a lot of cash to CIG and hype mony they need to finsh the game!
