    I always view the andromeda as sort of the "best" gunship in thr game for single pilot / small crew. The 2 s5 and 2 s4 pilot guns boast some of the highest pilot dps, *slightly less than the 600i* but the gimballed s4's make up for the slight loss of dps imo, plus the 2 turrets with 2 s2's are solid as well.. the 52 missiles are the cherries ontop, which makes it PERFECT for long bounty hunting trips with little need to restock at atations between missions. Sometimes i go an entire play session without refuelling a single time doing VHRT missions. Its just such a beast of a ship that imo cant be replaced currently with how versitile and effecient it is as a "military gunship" thats perfect for roaming the verse, doing bounties etc.
    Just imagine a play session witha sizeable group of people crewing 2 or 3 andromedas, snub fighters to boot. Its a mobile arsenal!
    I view it in high regard like the gladius.. both the andromeda and the gladius being the de facto go to ships of the UEE military and for good reason.

      Yes!!! This is a fantastic synopsis of this ship, which despite its early release, deserves more love in this community! The Andromeda is a god-tier combat gunship in game, especially for a skeleton crew! Atop that, the versatility with its snub, turrets, cargo and massive payload give it so much versatiliy.
      It may be an old design, it may still be missing a functioning toilet or table, but damnit if it isn’t one of my favorite ships to take out when I play❤️

      This is why I tell people that are on the ropes looking for an upgrade from the Cutless-Black to look nowhere else but the Taurus. It has the same pilot firepower and range with extra space for hauling. I own the Andromeda simply because I have plenty of cargo ships but deep down I feel like I might end up owning 2 to 3 of the 4 variants.. Mainly the Taurus and Andromeda but the Phoenix looks like the perfect luxury ship for someone who hates Origin lol.

    One of the best Andromeda reviews out there. Nice work! I was torn between a Taurus and Andromeda, but I think this is the best all-around bet. I mainly tranport quantanium but it's not like I haul huge amounts, so the Andromeda cargo capacity is totally adequate. The added combat functionality is a plus. I'd rather skip the Taurus and go straight to a Caterpillar for huge hauls anways.

I love the Constellation Andromeda so much, and think it’s probably the best of the entire line, except if you want to buy the Taurus for the best value! And I agree, I it has really good carrying capacity but leverages even more combat capability! And I think if you want to really step up the game going with a caterpillar is definitely an even better bet!

    Great video as always! Another great use for the Andromeda would be as a daily driver if NPCs are hired for the turrets. Great range, decent amount of cargo, able to transport small vehicles, racer/snub/scout attached and all the amenities on board a space pilot needs to keep rollin. The only other ship I would consider as my go to choice for a daily driver would be the Mercury Star Runner since it can fit through small jump points (from q&a before it got bigger tho) and thus, cut down travel distance/time.
    Anyway, I love the Andromeda. Its probably the best multi-crew ship for people like me. I dont need to gather 5-15+ online friends via discord to get the most out of it (like in a Polaris/Idris) but can instead play with only 3 other people. With NPCs manning the turrets, only 1 friend is needed to man the snub. Perfect for a dad gamer like me :).
    I intent to use the Andromeda primarily for high risk, high reward cargo runs into dangerous space. Buying drugs or hot wares. I will use the Archimedes as the snub tho.
    I hope you keep up these videos. Dont think any other SC content creator does these. Looking forward to a "5 best uses for the MSR" video. Its one of the most versitile ships when all its features are done.

    I remember when I first started playing SC, the Conni was one of the ships I loved the look of and its capabilities made it something I wanted next for my beginner fleet. Over time I changed to the Freelance Max to focus on hauling, and since then I haven't really looked back at the Conni because of all the newer ships. But it is a solid ship that I hope to enjoy flying again some day.

    • @ViciDeum
      @ViciDeum  2 роки тому +2

      I feel like a lot of people felt the same way, and gravitated towards the Connie as one of their first big purchases, given its marketing and overall utility! But the freelancer max is an excellent ship, and offers a ton of similar performance, in a slightly smaller package!

      I always toss the Freelancer MAX against the Taurus. Usually the Taurus comes out on top seeing how it beats the MAX in every way but still, I have a softspot for that ship. It's the only ship in SC that really feels like a "Truckers" ship. While the winner is definitely the Taurus, the MAX will come into a special sweet spot once jump points become a thing. It can fit through the smallest where the Taurus would have to take the longer way to the same destination. For a trucker, time is money. And in this case the MAX is a clear winner.

    Oddly enough, you can fit either the P-52 Merlin or P-72 Archimedes (from the Phoenix) in the cargo bay of the Taurus. No glitchy docking mechanic needed, just careful piloting. The Merlin fits easier due to the Archimedes gun mounts, but can still be done. The feeling when you launch from the deploying bay, and return home is something else.

      Yep, however the original Constellation had the P-52 fit in the cargo bay, but of course that one took all the cargo room. The docking mechanic is clunky in SC, and I wish they'd have made it a bit more like Elite, but without the fade to black transition.

      I really enjoy your videos because you suggest alternative uses than the primary design or popular ones for ships, and that particular brand of emergent multi-role gameplay (especially with less of those sorts of ships in game yet) is a core reason I love the game.

    Thank you for another great video, Vici! I really do like the Connie, I just can't seem to LOVE it. I think it's because it's a bit too "open space" for my taste. I like having different rooms in a large ship. As for it's uses, I think you're spot on. To go even further, I think it's possibilities are near limitless. If one would want to own ONE single ship in Star Citizen that isn't cost prohibitive to operate, can do everything and can be very well solo'd the Connie is very hard to beat!

      Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’ve been enjoying this series 😁👍 Although I completely understand your sentiments about this ship!
      The Connie line definitely lacks a lot of the refinements seen in the latest ship interiors; especially compared to something like the MSR, it’s night and day haha. It really suffers a lot from mostly unused open spaces. I’m hoping that future redesigns help to use this space a bit better, or even just add more features into the pre-existing spaces.
      And I agree, even despite those limitations I think the constellation line has some of the best utility out of any ships in the game, even when just flying solo; it’s got a little bit for everyone!

    The Aquila is my Constellation of choice. It gets the most flight time out of all my ships. I just wish the rover could be loaded from the hangar instead of having to fly down to planet and do it. It would also be cool if the scanner turret could be swapped for a gun turret when the need arises.

    • @ViciDeum
      @ViciDeum  2 роки тому +1

      The Aquila is a fantastic variant out of the lineup, and I agree completely that vehicle spawning from hangars is a much needed feature.

But hopefully we see it soon 🤞And swapping the scanner for a turret could be a really great feature if they open that option up in the future!

    This video is a perfect representation of the Andromeda’s capabilities. I LOVE this ship. The cockpit strips dont bother me at all although they could probably be made much thinner. Now my question! I dont seem to use missiles that much as the guns wipe everything out. The Taurus has much more cargo/vehicle capacity but only half the missiles and no snub fighter. Guns/shields are the same ( minus bottom turret which i have never used). I am seriously considering the Taurus as i should still be able to do VHRT/EHT but have better options for cargo. I have never yet used the snub. Any views or experience from anyone. The Andromeda is for me the best all round ship in the game.

    • @ViciDeum
      @ViciDeum  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed this video! I’ve spent a lot of time with both the Constellation Andromeda and Taurus, and think they are both excellent ships within the platform!
      And you pose an excellent question, and I think it will really come down to your preferred use case, whether combat or cargo? The missiles still need improvement, but are a great way to soften up targets before an engagement!
      The snub fighter is an excellent little runabout, which can provide additional utility or moderate combat assistance in fights! I’ve used it to jump ship when the Andromeda is being focused fired, and I think it will have more pronounced uses as gameplay systems develop!
      But with all that said, the Taurus can certainly carry a lot more cargo, has a tractor beam and a smugglers hold, so it has strong advantages in that department! But it’s also slightly larger, so it does have a bit more sluggish handling.
      Really though, they’re both excellent ships that offer a lot of value for their pricepoint. But I hope this can at least had a little bit more light on the choice between the two!

    But with how versitile the Andromeda is. It litterally has everything one could need. Space for the ROC. Waayyy better firepower for the pilot when going solo opening so many more oppertunities for bounties and similar missions. Way more shields and health. Cargo space, and even a little snub fighter in the back for if you have a 3rd or 4th friend who might wanna get in on a ship vs ship fight to take some heat off you.
    Honestly the only downside i see after both having tried it finally during this Invictus and info from this video. Is the pilot view and the fact that there still is no table by the couch yet.

  • @SuperTyrannical1
    @SuperTyrannical1 2 роки тому +2

    I like the conny, but it does need some work. I don't think the ursa should be such a tight squeeze. They should widen it and therefore perhaps lengthen a bit to keep it looking similar. They also should change the struts for visibility. It doesn't make sense in a universe where the carrack and many other ships can have shaped glass that the conny is still using only flat panes of glass like they are in the medieval era still where glass blowing was still in it's infancy. The aquilla would be easiest to solve by making the centre struts shape away from the centre as apposed to into the centre like it is currently. The rest could uses a method similar to the carrack and just remove that centre strut altogether. But there should be a viable access to the ursa's side door when parked in the cargo too. Why the tight squeeze? Just needs 1/2 a meter or a meter either side to accommodate an easier loading and unloading of the rover and allow better access. Extra width and therefore length might also accommodate room for a shower or maybe a kitchen counter for coffee machines or something. The Aquilla being an exploration vessel doesn't really seem like a ship you would want to live on for too long without a shower or kitchen amenities.

    • @ViciDeum
      @ViciDeum  2 роки тому +1

      I absolutely agree with all the points you made! And thankfully, I foresee them making a lot of these changes! I know they specifically mentioned de-strutting the Connie’s, but I think they will get more love during the gold polish pass as well.
      For starters, the living quarters are pretty lackluster, especially on the Aquila lacking even a simple microwave; even the Mustang Beta offers more for a living “exploration ship.”
      And I think increasing the internal proportions on the ship, or even reworking the cargo area to better accommodate the URSA would be an excellent, much needed improvement!

    I really like the Andromeda, but I love the Phoenix, so I'm curious to see how the Conny series will be updated when they give it a Gold Standard pass. I think it'll get a major overhaul, and hopefully it'll lose some of the cockpit windshield struts. I'd like to see the windshield become more like the Mantis'. It currently looks like they were going for a style similar to the Polaris, but since the Conny's bridge is much smaller than the Polaris, I think it loses the desired effect (see RSI website for Polaris pic of cockpit view to see how well struts works on a bigger ship). I expect the Andromeda, Aquila, and Taurus to all get significant improvements to their interiors whenever they do get around to updating them, as well as the Phoenix. Since it's CR's favorite ship, I'm guessing the Gold Standard updates will put the Conny series on everyone's radar.

      Absolutely agreed! I can’t wait to see the reworks that they put through for the entire constellation line! And I imagine they’ll update the habitation area pretty significantly as well!
      And I agree, there’s just something amazing about the Phoenix, especially with the wraparound and ceiling glass panels, it’s just “chefs kiss!”

      It’s a really fantastic ship, and we’ll worth the in-game pickup! Also, you can rent this ship very inexpensively at the rental kiosks, so you can start earning some serious cash towards your eventual full ownership, while flying it right now! The Andromeda is especially good at bounties and can stack them very quickly together 👌

    Excellent video friend Vici, I am a new player and this video made me decide to buy the Andromeda. I love the real sci fi spaceship look with how versatile it is. I particularly like it for bounty hunting and I have a question about that. In the current patch 3.17.1 is it still a good combat platform? and what configuration would you recommend for VHRT and ERT missions, because I have noticed that now the NPCs attack in packs and there are no shields that can last long when 4 or 5 enemies attack at the same time.
    Thank you and continue with these videos, they are the best I have seen about SC.

      For VHRT/ERT, I recommend rocking the CF447, and luring the targets away in a straight line; decouple at your fastest speed and let them chase you, slowly picking off them as they approach! I usually prioritize 50/50 weapons and shields and it typically does the job well for me! But they’ve definitely gotten harder in 3.17 👌

    • @ViciDeum
      @ViciDeum  2 роки тому +1

      The dated interior on the Andromeda and Taurus are really rough, but I do expect that they will give the lineup a gold polish pass that fixes it up a bit, as well as add some more functionality to those crew quarters! Hell, the Aquila doesn’t even have a kitchen! But I agree, the Phoenix is downright stunning and visually by far the nicest out of any of them!

      Yes, this review was more of a general overview than something super specific! Checkout SubliminalTV or Farrister's guides on ships for something more in-depth! Sadly though, the stats are constantly changing with SC's updates, so they tend to get outdated fairly quickly; and one of the reasons I chose to focus more generally!

      Absolutely! So to get the P-52 Merlin to detach, after turning on the ship you hit N to disengage the auto dock and then tap control to strafe down! After you’ll target the Connie, hit N to initiate the dock, and then fly in while aligning your docking pip to the one shown on screen 😁👍
