I've done so many "combat" games that I'm really trying to steer away from it in SC. I've got an Argo RAFT and a MISC Prospector. That's it. If I participate in combat it won't be as a pilot but as a crewman. For the most part I just want to chill.
I can understand that!
It's nice to see people steering away from it. Too many folks presume it's a necessity, but it really isnt!
exactly
I like how "small" and intentional it is. I fly ONE ship, my 600i Explorer, because it's a great platform for literally all the gameplay I'm actually interested in. Exploration / humanitarian aid / search and rescue / assassination.
I want a Pioneer for my org tho, so we can start settlements.
"Exploration, Humanitarian Aid, Assassination" I nearly spilled my tea :D
@@Farrister Could even be the same mission sequence. Lmao.
CIG has people thinking of Origin as BMW luxury when they're really like 007 Aston Martin.
After picking up ships here and there I finally melted all mine and got the entrepreneur pack. Mining and other logistics type gameplay are more my thing. Hopefully we see more of it in the future. My splurge on myself ship is the 400i. For fighting it’s the Gladius and Ion. I think my personal hangar is complete. Hopefully server meshing comes so you can utilize that Javelin properly. Needs a big crew!
Yup, excited to get a big group together for it!
The 400i is a very nice ship. I like it a lot; the Space Yacht.
I bought a ship with money directly in-game, but I also bought a ship on eBay that was transferred to my account. Is it possible to "melt" both of those to use the combined funds to buy something bigger in-game? I'm just nervous about starting down the melting path only to discover that I can't complete the plan due to some sort of rules about what can be melted.
@@AndrewJens generally if the ship is in your hangar you can melt it and the money goes to store credit you can use for another ship. Any ship you purchase in game with aUEC you will not be able to do anything with. In game purchases are also subject to wipe at CIG’s discretion. Real world cash you keep even after wipe.
Thats awesome.. But guys speaking of the 400i space yaught... go look up 420i fan made trailer of it with snoop dawg its fucking hilarious.
Those are all nice ships but really the most important ship in the verse is Friendship
Yes!!
I'm completely on the opposite direction: I don't buy anything I can't solo, even if I appreciate when someone comes along, and I mostly like small ships.
I usually buy stuff that comes with a heavy discount so that I can upgrade it with a gain and I also like stuff that comes with good loaners that often double the usefulness at a given price
I bought an Odyssey at the last UEA getting totally conned by some "irresponsible" comments from the developers and I instantly had buyer regrets as I learned what crap I had actually bought, so I melted it and bought back my 400i. May be I'll CCU to a 600i when the rework hits us but this time I won't listen to stupid PRs comments from CIG. I want to see the REAL stuff and then decide.
I have a RAFT and another CCU to it (via Spartan) a Taurus (CCU to Corsair), a Cutty Red (CCU to Apollo), a Vulture (CCU to an SRV) to test the Gameplay on both, Caterpillar (which I deem much more flexible then the C2) and the 400i (CCU to a Redeemer). My free loans are a Prospector, an Arrow a Buccaneer a 325a and a Hornet which cover me for my combat needs.
The ONLY ship I'd NEVER do without is my beloved LTI 125a (CCUed from the free Argo Cargo), by far the more practical and useful ship in the game bar none: since the wipe I think it earned me like 5.5M aUEC allowing me to buy a Warden, and the largest part of the Phoenix (Vip transport gameplay incoming) which I bought in game. I don't really need anything else despite having a couple of millions in game and about 200$ of store credits lying in stash.
Big ships have no gameplay at the moment and, if and when they get one, I will have the luxury to chose on which one to play as there are more owners them then people to crew them on both sides of the law! 😁
Hey Zumzifero! I don't agree with your choices (personal preference) but I do understand themand they make sense. I absolutley aim for solo play, I own both 400i and 600i, I have a banu merchant wainting to come out (locing the c2) and upgraded my carrack to odissey. so that's the road i'm fired to: exploration. I still have an Ion, but it's sniper days are probably over. very sad, i wanted to substiute my Eclipse with the Ion.
BUT:
Raft is interesting becaus of loading and unloading in the future, balistics need a rebalance and miners should get an upgrade to delay quantanium ore deterioation.
basically I agree with you on taking a solo approach and could have done with less words.. sorry about that. Happy new year!
@@nilsgerdes6747 If your focus is on exploration, the your choices can easily be different from mines and make a lot of sense. Probably we have a very different attitude versus CIG itself: in my case i lost a lit of faith in their goals as I feel they are much more focussed on delivery new expensive ships for the whales (myself included) then in providing a service to people that already dished out their money by fixing what is broken in what they bought.
I tend to keep my feet in several shoes without committing too much on a single expensive one untill I really know it fits. That's the reason because most of my ship have an unapplied CCU in case I need to get rid of them or I want to try new game plays on the cheap.
Medical fir example was a big hoax bringing literally nothing to the game except making the Cutlass red useless. I will be able now to either bid on that and shift to an Apollo or get rid of just the CCU and upgrade the Red to anything else for peanuts.
Same with the Vulture: it gave me a prospector for free, but if I don't like the Salvaging gameplay I will switch to an SRV which will give me back the prospector and a allow me to test the next gameplay with containers.
Unfortunately I have little faith in exploration in this game for the medium term future: the incoming star systems are too few and explored for centuries, while access to the frontier is not even at the horizon. Still a Carrack can haul stuff, a 600i can fight and a 400i can carry you around with some friend, but the Odyssey is just a glorified Freelancer Dur, with no tools except a hangar.
Both the Carrack and the Odyssey will also be crew taxing, and their efficiency heavily depends on real human crews with very little use fir blades except for self defence
@@Leptospirosi I agree. and here is my Rebuttal: everything will change over time. I want the merchantman for it's cargo space. I want the odyssey for mining and refining quantanium. I want the 400I as a shuttle between planets. The carrack was only for the lvl2 medbay, to respawn. It sucks that the cutlass red is nerfed.
I do like mining though....
this, all of what we are talking, is why i love te nomad so much. with it, you can do everything. low to middle tier (or how ever you define it), there is a lot to make with this vessel. and once you have about 500K you kann ferry a ROC around and mine money.
this is why this game is great: we two don't agree entirely, but still get the same amount of fun from this game. this is awesome
I wouldn't say the developers comments were irresponsible, I'd say they were his own opinion. If people decide to take that as the breath of God then that's honestly their fault lol... I'd rather CiG stay open with their opinions than close up like Ft Knox in N Korea. You just have to be wise on how and when to pull the trigger. They gave no Q&A for that ship until WAY later and they never used it's refining abilities as a major sell point. That alone told me it wasn't what it seemed. As for your approach with ship buying, I too disagree with you but can respect your view point. One thing I do want you guys to keep in mind is that the economy and in game ship cost should not be taken seriously... There will be a ton of ways to make money later on... tons... Guess what this means for ships? It means their prices will sky rocket in game. Now, for some they call this the gameplay grind journey and I'd agree. But it's not the only journey. Don't think the 890J will run you 32 million when the game goes live... It'll be closer to 500 million and that's probably still too low.... Everything will take a major hike to their sticker price. For some of us, buying the ship now is easy and not only an investment towards CiG but an investment towards our own entertainment. I own alot of huge ships. I'm alright with knowing their going to take some manpower to run. I'll enjoy walking my hangar and just..... Looking at them just as much as I will flying them eventually. And if we can rent them out... ho baby... bring in the bucks.
be careful buying a CCU from a concept ship...don't be surprised if the Vulture's price goes up $10-$20 at release and temporarily nullifies your CCU to the SRV since the SRV will likely release afterwards (your Vulture-SRV CCU might become usable later if the SRV's price also goes up at its release, which it probably will). Anyone with CCUs from the Corsair might wonder how long it can stay cheaper than a Cutty Steel before it goes up and nullifies their $5 CCU to a $220 ship. Best to use price-stable ships for the 'from' ship in a CCU, and only use concept ships to end CCU chains since they usually go up in price.
Wow Farrister that’s pretty cool that you own a javelin! We have one in my org as well, I own over 60 ships/vehicles in my personal hangar, a good mix of just about every category.
60 ships?! Wow!
you got such a pleasant teller voice, it is very enjoyable to watch your SC videos/reviews.. I do enjoy your videos. keep it up :)
Thank you :)
It's always interesting to hear someone elses views and motives that drove them to the fleet they currently own. I'm a bit lost with my current fleet as I realise I have way too many ships that kinda fill the same role and I have a hard time making a goddamn decision on what I want to go with. So right now I'll be keeping what I currently have and keep that discussion in a corner of my head and Ill probably melt a few ships by next citizencon and choose one ship per role/situation, as you did.
But overall I feel like you highlighted the right questions one should ask himself when "building" his fleet. Be it the role, group of people you'll be playing with, schedule or the type of activities you'll be wanting to cover.
Yeah, I've been there too, before deciding that enough was enough!
I definitely feel your pain. My advice is to just ignore everything and stick with what you have. Who knows what the future will bring for this game? We're going on 10 years now with no end in sight, and new ships and sales happen constantly. There's no point in stressing too much now about what fleet you want to end up with in the far future.
I have four ships myself... Two are all business while the other two are mostly just for fun. The first two are the Prospector and the Taurus. These I have so that whenever there is a wipe I can get right back to making money as quickly as possible. The Prospector I will never part with but I do trade the Freighter around as until recently I was using a Freelancer Max to run Quant. The other two are a 600i Exploration and a 125a. The 600i I expect to come into it's own later this year which will make it much more useful with the addition of a Medbay. The 125a I have purely for fun as it's a freaking blast to fly especially low over terrain. It also makes a pretty good daily runner as it's extremely cheap to operate.
For now I am happy with these choices but I know like many times in the past I will end up swapping a few ships around again at some point in the future. The Prospector seems to be the only constant in my fleet although I have had the 600i for a while now with no plans on changing it as I love that ship. They would have to seriously botch the Gold Pass for me to give up this ship.
I absolutely love that loadout - and the rationale makes sense to me too! Have you tried out the 85X? The 125A is OK, it's got a lot of functionality, but I find the 85X flies a lot more comfortably!
Great video, as always, Sir! The Javelin is a scary choice...I would be concerned about how complete the ship will be when it's released for player use? You may be spending several months just outfitting the ship, before it ever leaves port? I guess getting all of the pieces to make it space worthy will make for a good quest, however? 👍
Quite possibly! Although the current speculation seems to be it'll have enough on it to fly it, I'm prepared and comfortable with either scenario. It's there as a platform for a regular weekly event, so if the first few weeks of that are "we're working together to fit out the Javelin", that seems OK to me!
@@Farrister Don't know how far in the future it will be, but I will try to be there for the maiden voyage!👍
Great fleet! Well, my so called fleet is spread across eight ships (this includes my game package ship). I started with a 100I which I immediately upgraded to a 135C. Not really a combat player, and when I do any combat it’s almost always with a group. So my two combat oriented ships are the Polaris and a F8C Lightning. Being an amateur astrophotographer it was impossible for me not to pick up an Endeavor along with an Odyssey to fulfill my science and deep exploration desires. However, I currently spend most of my time mining and moving cargo hence why I grabbed a Merchantman and a Galaxy. Lastly, to round out my industrial gameplay I bought a Crucible to get into repair once it is added to the verse. Looking at my fleet I am sure you will be shocked to find out my real life career started as an Electronic Engineer for 15 years, then past 20 years as a Software Engineer… go figure… :D lol
I'm so stoked to see the Polaris! I didn't know you were into astrophotography, over the last year or so I've started flirting with it a little. Eyeing up a new wide angle lens for before I next go on holiday, although not sure if I can justify the cost... :D I also used to have a Crucible in my hangar, but figured I should wait to see repair gameplay first...
I prefer your channel to many other SC channels because of how calm you are
Thank you :)
All things considered, I'd never have guessed you were a Javelin captain. Quite a surprise, there!
My fleet has three main functions. First, it's all about industry. I've chosen my fleet specifically so that I can, if need be, function as my own supply chain from raw material for finished products -- in particular, overclocked or upgraded ship components. Second, it's all about enabling. Most of my ships can fill support roles for other operations, or can help my friends accomplish their goals. Even my usual "solo" ships tend to be those that can be fun with an extra person or two along.
Haha glad you enjoyed the surprise! I like your thought process!
Your ship selection seems very sensible for your intended use case. My "fleet" is build to enable Game loops with small ships. Also my limit is 3 ships at most. At the moment i have a RAFT, a vulture ccu and my beloved Nomad. I guess only the Nomad is safe. The other two will have to prove themself when fully implemented 😅
Wise to set a limit, I think!
5:35 that battle looks amazing.
Loved that event!
Thanks for the breakdown on your fleet, Farrister. It's interesting to see people's reasons behind the purchases they made. Gives me a different perspective on a ship's viability.
Glad you enjoyed it!
😎👍 Farrister I would gladly help you crew that Javelin and be a gunner! Too cool mate!
That would be cool!
That sure is a nice set of ships to cover some of the gameplayloops of SC. For my personal ships I tried to cover all of the gameplay loops that interest me, so my personal pledge Hangar looks like this:
- Mercury Star Runner (its the ship I use as my daily driver due to its combination of speed, handling and cargo, it also has enough firepower to dable a bit into bounty missions)
- Vanguard Warden (My goto Heavy Fighter for anything Combat related, as a bonus it also has a workable interieur for longer trips)
- Starfarer (Its big, its beefy and I allways kinda liked the style of this one. Its my larger Cargohauler and, once that feature is in, will be the mobile Refinery for our Orgs Miningruns)
- Reclaimer (well, thats the Moneymaker for my personal Fleet, it also works quite well for running group bounties with a few friends)
- Odyssey (my selfsufficiant Explorer, Its basically a Bigger Freelancer DUR, so whats not to like here)
- Argo RAFT (I liked the style of it, even though my MSR allready covers this gameplay niece but I want to see how it will work with the comming Cargorefactor)
These ships are all CCUs I put onto the UEE Exploration pack, so they all have LTI.
That's a nice mix!
Thanks for sharing!
I see you went for the high end. I went for three low to mid ships.
My biggest ship is the MSR. It allows for some light hauling, some multi crew play and vehicle transporter, like a Roc.
My second is the Banu Defender. It is a great fighter with 4 Panthers. And can hold some loot for bunker and 890j missions.
My last is the Gladious. It is just a great fighter.
I really love the MSR, it will be one of my first in-game buys I reckon. But I couldn't justify backing for an MSR and an M2 :(
Perfect for a person of means who doesn’t want to drop in at $50 and learn grind climb there way up. If really cheap could choose either top tier combat ship or 300 hundred ish industry ship so when you grind your get 400-600 percent more money for time . A combat ship and non combat ship is a perfect start- you can buy in game new ships by the time you mastered the pair. Rare but rightly the javelin for those who plan on having a dedicated group (ten people?)
Yeah, hopefully even more than 10!
Fun video Farrister, thank you for sharing your setup and logic behind it. While I did "join" SC back in 2014, I actually never played nor did any backing until 2020 Invictus Week. Your bounty/trade/raid model is great. I, on the other hand, lean towards industry. My fleet starts simple with a ROC & MAX combo, a Prospector, a Hercules C2 for planet-trade, Hull C for Inter-system trade, 325a for light bounty, Aurora for commuting. I do have the Corsair also.
The game wipe from 3.15 let me experiment with "zero to hero". Sadly, ROC mining is messed up, but I hope that will not always be the case. Trade is still rough but works. Prospector mining tends to be the most dependable earner for me at this time. But when the game goes Gold, all bets will be off. We shall see.
That's a very powerful setup! I think Prospector (or MOLE) will be one of my first in-game buys.
Been waiting on this vid to drop! 👀
Keep up the good work my friend u are my go-to star citizen ship reviewer for serval years now! 🎉💯
Ah thank you :) glad you enjoyed it!
Dayum, my man's got a Javelin. Such an awesome and jaw dropping ship that will be a game in itself when it's flight ready.
I've bought ships that never require more than 3 people to adequately man, so I have a 400i, Vulture, RAFT and my flagship: a Perseus, although this is currently an Ion for the time being. I've considered making this a Redeemer but I'm sitting on it for now.
400i and RAFT are my daily fliers and the Vulture gives me a Prospector and will be my primary industrial earner when salvaging comes online.
That's a good varied selection!
Nice fleet line up you have there.
Currently have the following. 600i explorer as a daily driver, Banu merchant man, endeavour, polaris and scorpius (may ccu from it). Happy with this fleet and can't see it changing that much.
Oh wow, that's a beefy fleet!
All I have in my hangar is an Aegis Avenger Titan, which I'll eventually upgrade to a C1 Spirit or a Cutlass Black.
I really want a Connie as a daily driver, though. Snub racer and CARgo hold, turrets that can cover up and down (but not converge), and gorgeous to me.
As for the M2 Hercules (the one with bombs) if I were a rich man, I'd love to have one.
As for my 'infinite yolo' dream ship? That MISC explorer, the Odyssey. With the mining beam and refinery. It'll be able to stay out in the deep black effectively forever.
When I built my fleet I thought of two things. Money generation and progression in the game. There is a pretty big gap from an M2 to a Jav, specially understanding upkeep, insurance and operational costs of the largest capital ship.
The way I understand it (and I might be wrong) you have money makers and money takers. As money makers you have all the industrial platforms for mining, trading, reclaiming. There are also service oriented ships that hold a more unstable value like: medical, exploration and data running.
War ships in general are money takers, I know there is missions and you can run escort missions etc, but owning these ships will be mostly on the cost side.
To take a Jav for a Spin, you need to have an trade or mining operation creating enough cashflow to support a Jav. And we are not talking a Hull C. I am talking about a fleet of the larger Hulls, Orions making money
It is like owning an A10 and a Hercules... and you want to take a carrier for a spin.
You could crowdfund the Jav with the crew members... but it is going to be expensive
You know, I think you might be right. But where I assume differently, is that there isn't necessarily going to be a solo ship that makes the amount of money that a Javelin needs. So it'll NEED other players, or players working together with the likes of a Hull E. So I'm happy to work with org mates on theirs :)
@@Farrister there is no way around it. The closer to capital you get, multi-crew will become more necessary.
And if as an org you can use theirs... that is great. I bought myself access to gameplay with different ships and configurations to play with other people :)
I cant see how exploring will be more unstable ... there will always be places to explore. Heck even the reason my starter ship is the Terrapin .
Those you mention as stable are should be as much subject to price change, due to overflood of good etc for traders, or too many mining the same material, etc etc. Compare to randomness of finding what you explore.
The stable one would be killing stuff in solo flyable ships i think. You can see the income before you even start missions.
@@UltraSuperDuperFreak a Terrapin will not go very far, you will depend on transport, Kraken, Liberator, Idris, Odyssey... etc. I say unstable because you depend on finding something and some secondary mechanic to transform it into UEC. So you find a new jump point, or a huge quantenium deposit, in order to capitalise it you will need data running or mining. Medical, you need to find patients... it is not as predictable as trading or mining.
I mean unstable, as in unstable cashflow or source of income, that is imperative to fund a ship like a Javelin or a military fleet
I have gone for what I see will be the most useful solo ship; the Libby. I see it as useful for group play regardless of the task at hand, and when not playing with others I plan to put small industrial ships on board and live away from trouble.
I want to be able to move everything I own all at once (accepting the inherent dangers of that)
I expect I'll buy a Liberator in-game fairly early on :D
Nice, thanks for talking through your reasoning. At the moment my fleet is tailored to current PU moneymaking, with a Prospector and an MSR - but I have lots of CCU options stored for as we get closer to launch. I'm currently expecting my fleet will be an Endeavor, an MSR, and a Vulture - I'm hoping that'll give me several different gameplay options from day 1, and a bunch more when the Endeavor comes online. Combat is the most obvious thing missing but it's not the gameplay that excites me most. That said, I'm continually tempted to add a combat ship because - like you said in the video - it's a great way to build funds. But I'm not supposed to be spending any more money on SC... Hmmmmm...
But I'd hope by the time game is "launched", your Prospector and MSR should be just as good an option to build funds!
@@Farrister True but I might be bored of mining by then 😂
I have very similar mindset with very similar ships, except Iavelin. I will never have enough that much in game friends to play with Iavelin. I have an Ares Ion and a Genesis. Ion for solo combat missions to get the early money, and Genesis because it has nice cargo, can fit to passenger transport gameplay which idea I really like, and also it is modular inside (in theory). So probably I can changr some parts in it later. So that's my main, if it will ever be done. And now I'm enjoying the C2 loan instead.
I'm very interested to see the Genesis!
Multiplayer - "Maverick, you should get your new crew when you arrive at Port Olisar, but if ya don't... gimme a call - I'll fly with you"!!
Quote plagiarised from Mike 'Viper' Metcalf, Top Gun (1986)
Haha didn't even need the citation, recognised it right away :D
My current lineup of starter ships is the Prospector, MSR and the Apollo. I plan on getting a fighter which might be the Scorpius. Since I am mainly a solo player each will fill a role to allow me to make money from mining to cargo to bunker missions to pve bounty missions. I also plan on a small ship maybe the razor in case I find myself stuck at a moon or planet far from a normal hanger. I also plan on 1 larger ship most likely the Persius for my larger team combat events. Or maybe an explorer...maybe.
That seems like a really balanced loadout!
I got myself a Redeemer and it's an absolute beast when fully crewed.
Got a Cutlass Red (big fan of Drake) a Gladius, Prospector and a Connie Andromeda.
Yesterday bought the Tonk in game and now I'm saving up for a Herc to be able to carry the tonk around).
Yeah, I was very impressed with the Redeemer, especially how it encourages people to crew up!
Personnally i really want to be a doctor or a farmer. To play that gameplay loop, i taked the endeavor, it can do both with the biodomes or hospital pods :)
But without any friend, this is a complicated ship to operate,
Then i bought an apollo (medivac to be more protected).
I'll use it in solo/duo to make some easy money with the rescues missions !
Then to find plants, ressources etc... for drugs for the medical gameplay... or just to explore the spaces and all planets, and stars !
i bought the 400i, It will be my dayly driver ship to see all the systems
and it can carry 2 grounds vehicules, sounds great for a begining ^^
And because i like alien races, in particular the XI'AN i bought the GataC Railen, to do some long-range cargo missions and i will also live in the exotic alien house built by GataC ! this ship will eventually be serve to transport rares medicals supllies given by my 40OI explorer, and i will be able to transport the production off my endeavor farm to sell them somewhere....
That all i want, except the fact that i don't get a combat-ship :(
but i will farm that in game :3
I think I'll love the Apollo (it gives me Mantis type vibes, which I love the stylings of), and I'm intrigued by the Endeavour - it seems more like a 'traditional' modular spacecraft
@@Farrister yeah i alsolove the mantis, the problem of that ship is the gameplay, really cool for a group of friend that want to do piracy or bounty hunting, but not for me ^^ can't wait to see the apollo in game :3
(and if there is some fault excuse me, i'm french :p)
My son and I have a Perseus, Polaris, and a BMM . Our plan is to run as few missions as possible .We want to be deep space and dangerous and find the rare guns and trinkets .Fight Vandal and Pirates mostly I hope . We have a Org set up and will stay small 20-30 guys max maybe .
That's a good father son loadout!
My hope is that some day the mission system is smart/good enough to recognize the ships we have and offer suitable contracts for them. I don't just mean cargo hauling, bounty, etc. I mean specialized like, "Oh, you have a Nautilus, well here's a contract from Shubin Mining to put down some mines around a new claim." I want it to at least be smart enough to not send me after a single seat fighter low level bounty when I'm flying a Polaris. Right now that's reputation gated, and that's fine to a point, but even with no prior reputation a contract giver wouldn't give a corvette captain something like that. Anyway, here's hoping to having a fully fleshed out mission system one fine day!
Gosh, that would be awesome!
These are some nice ships.
At the beginning, I upgraded my base ship to an Aegis Avenger for the same reasons, classy, but still very military.
However, I upgraded this one again to my lovely 325a when I found out that there was a strong light fighter, but more luxury.
Finally, and because I expect to just begin the game with only this one (at least), I discovered that we can modify outdoor and even indoor of the ship, I really needed that, the feeling to have a fully personalized ship.
325A was my first ever pledge - still holds a special place in my heart!
Ive pledged an Ares Ion for much the same reason you did your Inferno, and a Connie, for everything else. Im expecting ill buy a Gladius of some sort sooner or later just to always have one with LTI for a better pvp go to. If they ever implement the computer blades to lock the scorpius turret to pilot control I would do it in a heartbeat, but im waiting until thats actually in effect before i do it
It's a good baseline to be honest, the rest can be earned in the game
The M2 with 2x S5 laser cannons is actually my favorite NPC bounty hunting ship! It's surprisingly nimble
I get frustrated when in-close, hence using the Ares instead!
@@Farrister I may have to pick one of those up!
Great video. I definitely play on a much smaller scale than you do. I have a 325A as my pledge ship that I use for delivery missions/touring. A Gladius for combat, a MSR for cargo and eventually data running, and a Vulture for eventual salvage.
That's a nice platform! 325A was my first ever pledge :)
i have only a few dozens of ours on star citizen and i started with the basic mustang pack, and that will be the only ship not bought in game. My second ship is the taurus cause i love its shape and style, and cause with that i can start with basic trading and, with the ROC, light mining (and with its huge guns its good against the NPCs). My next ships will be the buccaneer for combat, the cat for better trade and the prospector 4 real mining.
I'm so impressed with the Taurus!
Thanks for sharing. I have a somewhat similar approach. I currently run a redeemer but it is part of a CCU chain that will become a Perseus. I will also have a scorpius soon. So, one multyrole fighter that can be soloed for hooning and basic missions and a Perseus for epic fleet battles with friends. I can use this small fleet to earn in-game up and down to what ever I want in the future.
Seems like a good plan!
I'm still not sure that I've settled into things. I have a Starfarer, Archimedes Emerald, and Dragonfly. I like the Starfarer for a fleet/large operation ship. Lots of people like the "sexy" combat ships like the Idris, Polaris, and so on, but as I learned before the military and then it was hammered into my head during it, logistics are key to any successful operations. This means the Starfarer can get use in big fleet ops and while a number of people have them, they'll seldom not be needed, and it may be something not just everyone and their grandma has one to bring.
The Starfarer can also get use solo or in small crew gameplay as a moderate cargo hauler or a massive scale fuel hauler. And I know at one time it was supposed to be able to REFINE fuel as well, though I have no idea if that's been changed or is still on the way. But if it is still on the way, that gives it yet another use for me to do when there aren't big org fleet operations happening.
The Archimedes I got a special deal on, and the limited edition nature of it is kind of cool as well. It's my fun joyriding runabout to use. I would KILL for snubs to be given spline jump Quantum Drives and am frankly shocked the Merlin, Archimedes, and Argos don't have them at this point, considering the Pisces and 85x have been added to the game and have QDs, and Merlin/Archimedes aren't exactly powerhouses by comparison to the 85x and are weaker than the Pisces by far. Either way, I'll keep it for racing, flying about, etc. And for fleet ops, it can be useful for a super light fighter or for special mission ops like Caterpillar or Herc Merlin/Archimedes attack missions.
The Dragonfly I upgraded a Ranger LTI to and I haven't decided if I plan to keep it or not. At the time, the only other ship I had was a Cutty Red, and wanted something I could carry inside it and use as a runabout (I didn't have the Archimedes yet, and they can't fit in Cutlass anyway), so the Dragonfly seemed like a good option. But now that I swapped the Red for the Starfarer and have the Archimedes, which CAN fit inside with a smidge of finagling, I'm not sure what I want that other slot to go to. I thought about a combat ship, but none fit in the SF, and I still have the Eve Online "moving day" mentality of "all my stuff needs to fit inside my other stuff in case I have to pack and move it all" that I can't quite shake. :) And none of the combat ships, not even the Arrow, fits in the SF.
The Razor does, and has a stealth variant, but it's still pretty niche and I have the Archimedes if I want to race. I've heard the Pisces can park on the outer gantry (carefully) and ride in both quantum as well as store and recall with the SF, which is hilarious if true and would make the Medces a potential buy option so I have an ambulance, so I've thought of that. I considered a Roc, but I'd rather a ship that can mine since the Roc can only mine the by hand deposits, which...I can mine by hand in theory (and there always seem to be far less of those around). So I just haven't decided yet.
And at some point, I'm sure they're going to rework the SF, so at that point I'll see what does and doesn't fit in it and probably make a final decision from there.
It's also difficult to know exactly what gameplay will look like in the future
@@Farrister Very very true.
I did add a C8R to my list, just because it's what I've wanted since the Red was announced. It's much more like an irl ambulance. Having gone through EMT training and done my ride-alongs, I can appreciate that and it's just a hand little ship to have. :)
I think for my part, it's mostly me looking at "thing I can use solo but that also has value if I do small group content with friends and also if I do large group content with my org"
For all its bulk, the SF can be run by one person if all you're doing is moving cargo or fuel, as well as if you're in a fleet op with overwatch protection, or you can load it up with 3-5 people and some vehicles and go do some group content.
The C8R makes a great box runner while also being useful for S&R in group content or bunker missions with friends (or solo)
I think it's all about finding the right ships for you. A mainly solo player would probably get more use out of other ships, a mainly org player out of other ships, or someone who likes different roles (you might notice I don't really have combat or bounty hunting stuff here)
But I think for what I'm going for, mostly peaceful activities or working with my org as an EMT and tanker, this should fit the bill nicely. :)
Now...if they'll just get around to that SF interior rework so I don't have to spend 5 minutes working my way from the cargo bay to the bridge whenever I get into the thing...lol
Bought a few ships myself starting with the Titan from 2013 then of late ive picked up a Cutless black a ROC and the Prospector and ive backed the expanse which will be a refiner as im going to focus more on the industrial side and hauling then combat.
I was really eyeing up that Expanse seriously, so far self restraint is winning out... so far...
Have a Tana because it's helpful to have a smaller ship. Less than 1 min claim time is useful in the moment. And I really like the look of the Tana.
Next is my 400i. Really fast and good shield helps to fly around the verse. Wish it had s5 guns.
Than my corsair. We will see how useful it will be when flight ready. I hope for a ship like the conni with more firepower but less cargo. And hopefully a bit faster.
And the I have some money and upgrades ready. Maybe for a vulture.
I like the size point of those ships you've chosen. Also upvote for Tana
I'm very for buying ships I can solo myself, don't see much point in spending large sums on ships I cant use daily. I currently only have a 600i and vanguard as my flyable ships, as that is all I need with current gameplay loops. I have a few hundred in ground vehicles for the purpose of later CCUs and will likely end up getting a mining ship such as the Mole and a cargo ship, either m2 or c2.
Very sensible!
Nice. In my opinion buyin more than 1 ship outside game is one of the exact reasons why Star Ctizen will stay in techdemo/test environment for ass wiping mechanics state for a very very long time. Long time ago i bought Aurora sp, 3 years ago i ugraded it to Titan. This year i upgraded it to Cutlass, i think i will further upgrade it to Freelancer MAX within next months. Size is everything if you want to make decent ingame money in any reasonable time. And i'm all for trading and mining, i even manage to chain activities like trade and delivery but that's very limited at present time.
Sadly I think you may be right :( If I wasn't making videos on the game I think my ships would be way overkill
I have a cutlass black pledge and a personal 300i fully kitted out that I use for either fighting or remove weapons and racing within my org.
Oh that's cool that you do racing with your org!
@@Farrister check out xgr
Farrister the Friendly Space Trucker by day and Gatling blasting Hellboy at night.
Haha sounds about right!
Well, I'm a loner. At this point the biggest ship I would own would be a Freelancer, a Cutty, or an MSR. Although now that you've mentioned the M2...
Those are very sensible ship choices for a solo player!
@@Farrister I tried the C2 during free flights and found it to be way too big and clunky for one person; I would never fly it unless I had a specific reason to, and in most cases it would involve other players. I thought the M2 was the same as the C2. Is it somewhat smaller?
I was not expecting a jav in your fleet... Nice
:) unexpected Javelin
Interesting video Farrister. you have some good ships. I think of the ones that you have, I've only been on the M2 in game, with the exception of the Inferno when it was at the Expo. I went aboard just to check it out, but have never flown in one in game. I too like that gun. The other version of it, the gun is way too slow. I look forward to joining you on the Javelin when it comes out. It is definitely a multicrew ship. It might be interesting what we can do with it in the game. Take care, fly safe, and I'll see you in the verse.
Looking forward to having you aboard!
Out of all the ships i have the ones i used most is the Vanguard and the 600i Touring. I always loved the Vanguard, started with a Warden which became a Harbinger and recently added an additional Sentinel, as i simply love it's color sheme. These two are my combat go tos. The 600i Touring is my travel ship. I love hopping from planet to planet for hours. Visiting the landing zones and POI, mostly cruising around doing nothing in particular 😂 As i said on a comment before i just wish it had a small vehicle bay it would make it perfect for me. For exploration i gonna use the Carrack in the future i guess but until now it was too much of a chore to load it up with all the vehilces, snub and food/items just to loose to some random game crash. I tried it again last patch and so far it was quite smooth though, so i might be doing it more often from now on.
Carrack still feels epic though!
Your ship choices are awesome! You should be able to make loads of money with the Inferno and M2.
I had quite the same line of thinking in my ships. But I also wanted to be able to mix it up quite a bit with what I would be able to do.
Congratulations on the Javelin! If you want to fleet up with a Kraken sometime for more protection or just need more body’s on you’re ship I’d be glad to join.
That would be awesome - would make for a proper 'fleet'!
This seems like a good approach and is similar to my own, where I am considering my play styles and others I'd likely play with. Currently I only play with one friend consistently, so the ships we both tend to get can be operated by 2-3 at most, and with some solo-able options too in times when we are solo. Maybe we make or join a larger group later on...but I'm not really after capital-class ships personally I'd definitely work on one for some different gameplay. Another consideration is operating costs for multiple ships and what that will entail, I imagine it's gonna take a lot to maintain a Capital ship so you'd want an Org associated for that. I am more about self-maintenance when possible and also being mindful of not having too many ships (or repetitive ships) so I think your choices are wise as a fellow Crusader fan :P
Sounds sensible! From one Crusader fan to another!
Nice choices! I'll be looking to be a crewman when they release the capital ships. My hangar: Spartan, M50, Gladius, Corsair, Railen, Ion, Warden, MSR, and BMM.
I think me too! I'm stoked for proper multi-crew
I can see the gameplay rational for the M2 but from a pure value for real money perspective I personally couldn't justify it, with the C2 being a significantly cheaper alternative and the Banu Merchantman only $30 more than the M2
Also BMM Gives a fighter and C2 as loaners.
Agree! If I was min-maxing, I'd probably be sat with a Prospector, a ROC, and a Constellation Taurus! But there has to be an element of personal preference in there :)
My friend regretted his option on buying a javelin because its useless without a crew and finding a good one is even harder. Despite the fleet we are in we have a lot of close friends in them as well but none of them even wanted to join on this ship as they prefer solo dog fighting more
I think that'll be a common theme for large ships
my hangar consist in a mustang and the great banu merchantman to play with a friend as a nomad, trying to hire some AI crew and we want to be in everywhere selling and helping in combat against criminals mostly, thats like a dream
Wow, did you see the CitizenCon update for the BMM? Looks incredible!
I see the thinking behind you setup and it makes sense, I was wondering about your take on the usefulness of medium sized easily solo ships for day to day use in the completed game, ( like the 400i or msr) or are you just going fly you m2 everywhere so you can always pickup friends? (Edit: just realized you would by these in game, so new question how important are they?)
the Constilation Andromeda for solo. the msr lacks solo guns.
@@Fubar343 thank you
Truth be told, I'm not sure yet. If I was just cruising around, I'd pick the MSR over the M2 because it flies more easily. But then, if the gameplay loop supports it, perhaps the M2 could combine cruising with trading, in which case it would make more sense. But you hit the nail on the head - I'll buy ships in game!
@@Farrister yeah I guess everything is give and take
Bought a starter pack and upgraded it to Terrapin because i like exploring. Should be something i can earn money with from day one.
My secound ship is Merchantman, simply because i liked its look , and i love trading in all other games. lol, i have absolute no clue about the ship otherwise. Just took a chance. Original idea was gas mining for income with a Starfarer. Bought ships back in 2013 already, and marchantman is a upgrade from a Starfarer, maybe 2015 ? i cant recall, didt'n cost much extra :)
BMM looks incredible - did you see the details about it at CitizenCon?
Much Appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed :)
I've also gone with mostly Crusader ships for my core fleet, with the Ion, MSR, and M2, due to the look and feel of the ships. To compliment the core fleet is have; a prospector for solo mining, and a mole for org mates to use. The rest is just me playing with store credit with the likes of the Vanguard Warden, A2, Prowler etc,..
Have you flown much of the MOLE solo? I found it largely replaced my Prospector in-game
@@Farrister i tend to avoid flying the mole solo, as pilot scan is a tad broke atm [not giving quantities etc], solo the prospector is far better, i feel even a pair of prospector's working together is more efficient for quant mining than a mole.
I have the aurora starter and managed to get a Reliant Tana for my brother and I to dabble in the small multicrew experience, I am currently looking to get the next size up to incorporate more of a 3 to 4 man crew so I am debating either the cutlass black or red seeing as we like the ground missions as well as the misc freelancer.
You might also like to check the pricing on the Constellation Taurus as another interesting option
Im a month in and ive upgraded my mustang to a Titan soon to be a cutty black
I have a Gladius i purchased in game
My next in game is either a prospector or a freelancer max
Very wise to focus on in-game purchases - Titan / Cutlass Black should be all you need!
I just want to see the Valkyrie from Titan A.E. put into star citizen. Because, she's a badass ship.
I don't think I know that one
I appreciate that you “only” have 3 ships. I worry a bit about people that have lots of ships already. What are they going to strive for? Will it be a balancing problem at game launch?
The people I know with big ships in big fleets are training org members up right now...
It felt strange to say "only" too!
I have a tali base, a gladius, and a referral argo that I'm soon to turn into a penguin or something. I miss having ground vehicle transport but the cutlass keeps getting shafted so I ccu'd it. . I hope the tali modularity turns out to useful.
I'm also intrigued to see the Tali modularity
Fun video. Would love to fill a billet on a Javelin. My big pig is a Perseus. Follow that up with a Mole, Scorpius, Sabre and an Ion. Ion may not stay in my hanger.
Big pig, I enjoyed that one lol
Love it Farrister! would love to play in the verse with you one day!
That would be cool!
@@Farrister I’m looking at starting a channel for SC too so thank you for your inspiration man!
I like your fleet choices a lot, although to just have three purchases it quite restrained, clearly something I lack!
I started off with the Avenger Titan and it remains in my fleet as a versatile, rapidly spawnable courier ship I still use regularly. I similarly bought the M2 and Inferno for precisely the reasons you selected both. However as a hedge I picked up the Caterpillar at a substantial discount, because I believe the tractor beam, docking ports and design may make it a far better choice when cargo refactoring arrives for rapid load and unload vs non specialists. For me, the M2 is more about military missions with friends as a vehicle hauler than cargo therefore.
Otherwise I got a little carried away at Citizencon and picked up the 400i. I also picked up a Prospector so that I'll be able to access mining too from day 1 of the eventual game launch. Overall though I like the larger ships, but see me using those via joining an org rather than owning directly from the outset.
Finally, agree with your point on armour regarding the M2. While it is not yet apparent, the difference vs the C2 should be very evident as this starts to become a thing on military grade ships.
Haha not sure I would describe it as restrained, but yeah :P I'm not sure my reputation as an upstanding citizen would survive if people saw me flying a Caterpillar!
Im Not Play This Game,But I Like It,The Ship Is Cool,The Explanation From Farrister Is Understanable,Ah I Wish I Can Play This Game
:-)
My fleet looks so different from yours ^__^
It's cool that they are pretty distinct. There's only a handful of ships that like half the players went for.
I really hope we see lots of unique choices in game, it will make it a much more interesting place
Definitely way more rational than my fleet lol I’ve got a couple of bigger ships nothing as big as the javelin. Let’s just say I love my single seat combat ships. The extent of the damage can be summed up with one letter and one number. My reasoning for having so many ships is mostly because I have a lot less time to play and I just want to get in and have fun and not have to spend what little time I have grinding out for months that one small fighter I want kind of thing. Though it would probably be way more fun to do it your way and only have the two ships to make money with the one ship to go hang out with people.
That's fair enough, I think that's the rationale behind the ship pricing model too!
If you need a crewman for the javelin when it comes out count me in!
Should be lots of opportunities I think! :)
I buy what I think will make me money, and what I like. My fleet consists of Anvil Hawke, Gladius, Prospector, BMM, Carrack.
That's a good mix!
I love your fleet! Then again, I'm a ship nerd... I like fleets!
One of the best conversation topics amongst Star Citizen fans!
This game just hits different.
Hits the wallet different lol
I had the same thoughts. Unfortunately good ol’ CIG felt a Nerf coming on so now small fighters can give it a fight .
I don't mind that so much, the PvE enemies aren't so smart, and I try to avoid PvP. It feels fair in a rock-paper-scissors type scenario
@@Farrister and I so wanted to be able to go PEW PEW PEW BOOM when I wanted and make things disappear with that size 7 gun (which by science should be the way), rather than pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew Boom. The way it is now makes you feel like the science of Star Citizen is starting to be more like Nerf Universe, or Bizarro World, made for 6 year olds.
I'm surprised to not see a Carrack in your hanger with your emphasize on multi- crew gameplay.
Lots of my org mates own big ships, and I'll happily join them on voyages! Big ships without the cost xD
@@Farrister Makes sense! If it weren't such an beauty haha
welcome to the javelin club. We have an org in game that is for Jav owners. There are similar ones for 890J, Idris, and Legatus
I was one of the original 200!
Everything makes sense. I'm just miffed about the Ion not being a sniper anymore! it was the whole point of that craft! If the enemy flies directly into the barrel of a TANK, it will get blastet! The ion just feels betrayed. really hoping it gets reversed and the AI improved (not flying directls twards you) because whats the point then? It's pointless, the ion. Give it a laser repeater, but not an inaccurate peashooter. I'll keep using eclipse for bounty..
This video is great and your selection reflects what you want of the game. I'm right there with Zumzifero: I go for solo mainly. and yes, I'm wainting on merchantman and odissey... 😶
Happy new year! I will not be able to see your or anybodys video on new years eve, because I'm working my unfortunate job! 😁
Well Happy New Year when it arrives! I have mixed feelings about the Ion changes - on the one hand not being able to one-shot other ships feels balanced, on the other hand, it's supposed to do big damage to big ships. I'd have preferred to see some sort of reduced damage when used against small ships (like if a real warship shoots at thin enough armour, it'll often "over-penetrate" and just go right through, doing little damage other than leaving a hole).
@@Farrister That would also be one way to balance it. One-shooting everything was fun, but it really felt like cheating. Then again, the enemies just come straight at you, making a hit very possible. You wouldn't use a naval cannon to hit a flying airplane, but if it aligns with the muzzle you could hit it.
You shuldn't be able to dogfight that easily with the ion, but now it has no purpose. Something will happen to rebalance it, I'm sure, it just feels wrong how they've taken the alpha down so much AND made the weapon inaccurate. It's wait and see
i like reliant. Hope i will see in future a big version for this series, not only as a starter ship. Upgrade to Freelance because it's better than Core, but feel bad and don't like it. Difficult choice, between possibilities or aesthetic appeal you like
I love the personality of the Reliant series!
my hanger also have 3 ships in there too :) i have the arrow, the banu defender and the amazing banu merchantman
Did you see the BMM at CitizenCon? Looks like you picked a great one there!
@@Farrister Yea I did but I had the BMM when it was still 250 now its like 550 now and I believe the price will increase around the price of the 890 jump or be more then that ship
Still cant make my mind up what i really want :D but i think my fleet stays like this: caterpillar (maybe ccu to c2, but... modularity
Of all of those, I'm most intrigued by the Hull B. And if you're subscribed, you're sure to see lots of videos of Javelin in action, whenever we're allowed to fly it ;-)
Nice fleet, though I would have liked to hear a few sentences about the other ships you own too. A Javelin is always going to grab some awe.
My fleet has a fair share of combat ships but the focus is on the industrial, exploration and hauling side, evenly spread across small, medium and large ships with the Orion being the only capital. I've played enough space pew pew games to want more than just the pew pew. And yeah, if I made a similar video it would be longer.
Only 3 that I paid for :) and haha, suspect that is the same for a lot of people!
Great 👍
I own 4 ships and 2 ground vehicles from the Pledge store. I stand by my own choices, as each ship are good daily fliers and serve different purposes.
It's a very personal decision :)
@@Farrister Fine with me. As long as you’re happy and having fun that’s what matters.
@@squirrellordsgaming2772 exactly!!
The javelin is a bit much in my opinion. A perceus would probably be my max size. But my current rule is to only get things that can land planetside. I own way more ships than this but I focus on utility and have backed the game since 2013. So I've had a bit of time to pool up money.
It's all about that big multi-crew for me, I remember getting 40 people online for a WoW raid back in the day, and love the idea of doing something similar in Star Citizen
Imagine how fun it would be to get lost in the Javelin
Haha yup! Looking forward to working out my way around :D
I only started recently so my purchasable options have been pretty.limited, All I have is a gladius. I'm hoping to buy a Corsair, next time that comes around.
Corsair looks epic! Gladius is a fantastic fighter though
@@Farrister
Yeah my Mustang Alpha glitches out with the engines so I upgraded it to a Gladius and no regrets.
Scorpius, and Ares interest me a lot too. But that Corsair is just gorgeous and can't wait for release.
"anybody feel the need to go out and spend as much" *sighs* wish i'd found you sooner , i was 6 months in to playing before my brain actually clicked that i could buy the ships in game -p
Liberator/reclaimer/redeemer/perseus/crucible/corsair/mole/raft/vulcan/inferno/raven/vulture
I mean sure , i'll be able to share them with the org , when that comes in ..but i spent way too much on jpegs..most of which i wont be able to use alone :(
A few of us have been in that position - one of the reasons I try to encourage in-game!
can you do a video detailing the star citizen referral program? as in, what you get access to at different tiers of referrals
I could do, although you can see it for yourself very easily! If you go to the website, log in, and go to your hangar (top right), then go to settings, referral program, and press Ranking Ladder.
Javilins are going to going to break you at the bank. The cost of fuel witll be in the hundreds of thousands just to leave the planet or station. Dose not even include any other cost such as ammo/supplies/etc. Essentially you will be down almost millions of credits if you fly the Javilin from Point A to Point B and were not transporting/doing a mission/looting.
Best part is that cost dose not even include the insurance AND any add ons, including the turrets which were not part of the LTI if you bought it with it.
Either way Capital ships look super fun, but are not meant to be something you just fly around for ever in, time is literally money on that ship.
I think it will be very expensive to run. But hopefully, open up a different experience that makes it worth doing on a weekly basis. Those costs (and profits) will be spread across a large group of players too.
Farrister: ok I have an inferno, a hercules...
Me: ok that sounds reasonable...
Fartister: ...and a Javelin
Me: ...Jesus!
Jokes aside i have a Corsair as a multirole daily driver, a Carrack because its home (with included pisces and ursa), and an Idris because of org raids.
Also i have the buyback and credit for an Endeavour master set, which i keep in a melted state for now so that i can use the credits to try the various new ships as they come out.
Haha. Similar ideas!
I have looked at the start as Im new to the game and see what I would have to do after a server wipe. so basic starter for all round Titan. then Combat Sabre. Prospector to get me started earning and I am planning to upgrade the Argo Cargo to something like Freelancer max or the Taurus ( after your review ) I had always thought the C2 was a bit too big and carrying that much cargo would put me on edge LOL
so what additional have you got through the referral ? I know I got the Argo Cargo through it :)
I got all of the free ships available through the programme, minus the Javelin, and some randoms (Dragonfly, Argo, Aurora, Greycat PTV lol)
@@Farrister I think I will not get any ship before it is out and usable , it is so easy to run up a lot of costs in this game. I figure that I would like to play with others like manning the guns in someone else Javelin than get one myself I would like that game play , so im just going to get what I need / want if we need to re-start over oh and the Glaive if I can ever get my hands on one lol
Freelancer MAX, Prospector, 315p. "Other people" are great - over 'there' -->. ;p
haha
Nice fleet Crusader boy ;)
Haha, and here's me supposed to be an Origin fanboy :D
So witch one of those 3 is your starter pack?
The Ares Inferno
I've had the same mindset when it comes to buying almost exclusively with in-game money. While there are a lot of ships I'd like to have, buying ships with real money just isn't worth it for me considering the amount of time I have to spend on the game and the less than reliable state the game can tend to be in oftentimes
Yup!
I purchased a 300i package and couldn't be happier. I never spend money on microtransactions for other games and I won't for this one.
I am very happy that you and others like you are putting whatever money they want into the development. But putting large amounts of money into a digital asset seems like something only an insane person will do. Especially since the only thing that it will get you is a small bit of saved time, IF THAT!
But again, thank you for your money.
That is a really sensible attitude! I'm justifying it to myself that it will help me make some great videos for people to watch, and that over however many years of that, maybe it will make back the cost by those UA-cam adverts lol. Not sure if I'm just kidding myself though...
In happier news, I love the 300 series! (Except for that ladder...)
I hope to get a javelin for my org but they never unlock it for you and the credit versions sell out so fast
Big spender xD
