    I own many of the ships on this list. And MY pick is the 325A. ESPECIALLY if it's your only ship. For less than the price of the Arrow and Gladius, you get more gun firepower. You get a bed, toilet, kitchen, storage space, cargo space (and the ability to do box missions) and, if I'm not mis-informed, fuel scoops.
    It has the same top speed as the Arrow and Gladius. (and it used to be much more)
    It's a very capable combat ship, especially when upgraded. And for $70 it's a must have.
    If you have a bunch of other ships, but you need "a fighter" for your org military: none of the above. Move on to the "over $150 list"
    But if you have to choose from this list, then the Arrow. Even with only 1 shield, (just don't get hit) its a pretty bad assed ship

      What I suggest you do is buy a renegade on Aegis day. Play with it a day or 2. Then you can melt it for store credit 24+ hours later. Then get a 325A on Origin day. And try it out. If you decide you like the renegade better, you can melt the 325 and use the credit to buy another renegade (or after the sale ends, you can buy back 1 ship per quarter with store credit)
      But that way you have access to both in your melt box with 10 year insurance.

    • @BetterThanLifeProd
      @BetterThanLifeProd 4 роки тому +3

      @Ronnie Rising As of right now, the nose turret and the ball turret are limited to the Super Hornet. They fit on all the Hornets but are not, AFAIK, available in any in game stores.
      The Wildfire comes with the flashfire mount, (which mounts a fixed size 4 weapon). The Flashfire turret is available in many dumper's depots and works on all the hornets. (The Flashfire mount also comes on the Heart Seeker version of the Super Hornet.)
      The F7C comes with a very small cargo pod, which can be replaced by the flashfire mount. It can not be used to run box missions, at this time.
      The F7CS is the Stealth version and the center is a placeholder which can be replaced with the Flashfire mount. It is more fragile than the other Hornets.
      The F7CR has a sensor suite which can be replaced by the flashfire mount.
      All the Hornets have 3 size 3 hardpoints, one on each wing and one under the nose. Other than the Super Hornets, the nose mount starts empty.
      I hope that helps.

      @BetterThanLifeProd 4 роки тому

      @Ronnie Rising My pleasure. My better half loves her Super Hornet. The Hornet line are great ships, the Base Hornet is one of the best bangs for the buck, for in game expandability. I do recommend, keeping a general starter to go with any of the Hornets, like an Avenger Titan or 300i. This way you have choices, other than just flying a short range fighter. When you get blown up, and you will, you don't have to wait to get back in space. :)

    I use an Arrow with two tarantula s2s, two fl11s and 12 Vanduul Arrow Strike Missiles.
    Here's why: tarantulas and fl11s have roughly the same fire rate, and the fl11s have good range for a size 1 lazer cannon. The arrow missiles are absolutely fantastic. They have a very quick lock on, and have the second highest damage in size one missiles. They're also incredibly tough to shake off.
    If you can drop your target's shields, a few of those missiles will make them crap their pants. It'll be even better when physicalized components are in game because the arrows are likely intended to be component shredders. Meaning any small ship would have their internals completely fried after being hit by one.

Then add in the 16 s2 missiles. That is hard to touch with the rest of these ships. In stock form I admit it is not great. I love my reliant and it will never leave my hangar. I only have the Kore though. But still same weapon capacity of the arrow. 2x s2 and 2x s1 all gimbaled, or I could run 4x s2 fixed.

    Reliant Tana also outguns the Sabre and the Superhornet. In fact, the Tana has more fire power in guns alone than any light or medium fighter. It's only outgunned by the Vanguard and the Hurricane, both are heavy fighters. That's in addition to it's 16 missiles, seating for two, great interior with beds, restroom, 1 SCU of cargo space, armor and weapon lockers... Sure it needs to handle a bit better and could use some more hull hp, but to outright dismiss this ship sells it far short. All of this for $75.
    Sustained DPS: 1541 w/full gimballed.

    @14:58 important to mention in favor of the F7C - did not find it in the comments - is that you can add a Size 4 gun to the top of the F7C Hornet, replacing the 2SCU cargo module. You can buy the Specialty Hornet S5 VariPuck Mount (for mounting a S4 gun) at Levski or GrimHEX for a cheap aUEC 6489. Of course, a good S4 gun will set you back another 20k to 40k, but will give you even heavier armament than just 3x S3 guns, as long as you also upgrade the powerplant (it is terrible) and coolers. The shields can also be made twice as powerful.
    My build is:
    - 3x S2 Scorpion GT-215 gatling guns on S3 VariPuck gimbals + 1x S4 CF-447 Rhino laser repeater (Rhino is cheap, but looks good and will do for now).
    Gimbals rule, because with limited maneuvrability relative to other fighters, it keeps you on target much easier.
    - 2x MSD-313 racks mounting 2x S3 Thunderbolt III missiles + 2x MSD-212 racks mounting 2x S2 Dominator II missiles (I chose few longer range missiles vs bigger number of short-range missiles)
    - Charger (or even better, but twice the price, Starheart) powerplant,
    - 2x EcoFlow coolers,
    - FoxFire quantumdrive
    - 2x Palisade shield generators
    NB I was given the F7C when I bought the Freelancer MAX, so don't know if I would buy it, when given the choice. As stock it is terrible, but after upgrades it seems pretty good.

I would say slap your money in a CD and keep letting it roll over until we get into late beta phase. They continue to launch new ships with better capabilities and they are constantly trying to balance the older ships and making changes so just be aware of that.

I "own" a Sabre Comet and an M2 Hercules because I loved their concept and I wanted to contribute to the games development. But for me; the fun will not only be flying them, but also experiencing the game loops and systems that lead to earning them in game once it's past development. I have reservations about buying all the ones I want, and then being left with few goals in a live version.

      @@rahlap2449 It's not bad - there was a thread in the Star Citizen forums about everyone's top 3 fighters, and people were saying it's still really good after the nerf and not a lot of people were saying it was trash now. You really have to lean hard on its agility and small size, but it still packs a punch and NPCs in Arena Commander have trouble hitting it with guns. The Gladius probably has an edge overall, but it's close and the Arrow is a good "weekend warrior" light fighter.

    Tana actually is kind of interesting to fly if you keybind VTOL to a joystick or mouse button. makes it able to roll and push itself at a 90 degree angle with the power of the main thrusters. at max speed it probably has more maneuverability than a lot of ships. CIG broke VTOL for 3.8 tho. give er a try before it's gone.

    Although i quite enjoyed this review, i think your opinion of ships doesnt have a good baseline. For the one you consider what it can be once upgraded.. the other perhaps how it comes out of the shop. As for the Gladius valiant, the $20 usd is mainly for LTI w/ skin. If you gonna compare ships, just strip them to their hulls and see what you can fit on it and then give an opinion. Because no one is going to run a stock layout any ship.

  • @Mike-zx7lq

    No mention of the Hornet's ball turret? It doesn't just have the 3xS3 (s2 gimbaled) weapon options -- all Hornets can also fit a ball turret that adds I believe size 4 firepower. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. But that massively increases the DPS.

    Gladius is good if you want practice for squadron 42. Hawk will be good when the bounty pod can put bounties in it. The 325 is the best if it’s your only ship. It holds its own. And it has a bed. Toilet. Can have a food processor. And CARGO!!!

      in alpha you wont lose the ship if destroyed, you just have to wait a few mins to respawn depending on the size of the ship. you will also have the option to repair if the ship isn't blown up. not sure exactly how it will work after game release, you might have to get the cheapest insurance to avoid losing it, all ships come with at least a few month insurance and during the sale in november they usually have 7+ years insurance.
      tldr; after release you may have to get insurance but it will be cheap with ingame money

    Kind of pointless to mention the dps, shield strength and rockets, because these are all aspects that change frequently every patch and can be swapped out by anyone anyway by getting different components in game. What is more important is the number and size of these components and those change only in rare occasions (unless some ship reworks).
    Also I think the Arrow has only one shield slot now, which makes it significantly weaker, but the strength of the ship is the insane maneuverability.
