Unlike the competitors, from let's say origin or c.o, this has an actual small, comfy (for drake standards) apartment in it, not just a glorified park bench with a whole lot of nothing else in it, or something that looks and feels like a prison cell. Really, all this needs, are some nice Georgian rugs to cover up the loose cabling, the sharp metal edges, and the messy welding to make it perfect, and maybe a coffee machine. I would also take a kettle, FYI ! I could totally see myself life in that, if it actually existed!

The old Mustang Beta was so much comfier, but in terms of prison aesthetic the current Beta and Rambler aren't that far from each other let's be honest. Until CIG recover from their fear of windows, getting a "mobile apartment" is going to remain rare and costly.

Hey Farrister, that was a nice review of the Drake Cutter Rambler. I personally like the ship. When it first came out I had the basic Cutter, and really liked the Rambler. I went ahead and traded up to it. I haven't flown it yet, but from what I've seen in videos, like this one, I like it and may use it as a small backup ship. Thanks for the nice review. Fly safe, and I'll see you in the verse.

@billyhyde141512 күн бұрын
It's been a minute since I commented, but the Rambler deserves one. I've not shifted from a baseline Cutter to a Rambler, but that's because my uses for it are generally the type that need a bit more cargo and a bit less range, but there are a few significant other advantages the Rambler carries. In particular, the baseline Cutter has bulldogs instead of badgers, and although that's not a particularly expensive or difficult an upgrade, it's one that you almost certainly should do - the tight pairing of the mounts means that if one of those guns hits, it's VERY likely that both will. The main drawback to the Rambler, and the Cutter in general, is its size. Although it's got lots of versatility, the fact that it's not very good at anything in particular means that you're almost certainly going to be able to upgrade to something better no matter what role you move into. When you do, you'll have the Cutter as a backup, but if you're eventually looking at taking a small ship along in your larger one, suddenly the Cutter and Rambler aren't worth saving. Range isn't as important when you're taking up space in a hangar or cargo bay, after all. In the end, I feel like the Cutter and Rambler are ships you love and then move on from, but will replace rather than keeping as backup.

... the Rambler may be seen as a "starter-ship"... by some; but after the gloss of the "promised-game" fades, and the afterglow of the "real-game" begins... it becomes apparent, for those that remain: all you need on this journey through CIG's magnificent and endless, but largely unplayable, tech' demo'... is a windshield to see through, a little room for the dog, a small kitchenette to molecularly synthesize your favorite beverage... and a bed to make-love to your woman on. Enter the true end-game: the DRAKE Rambler. Great video, by-the-way; thank-you...

The Rambler strikes me like they came up with a better idea for the interior AFTER the Cutter was released, and just decided to make it a new variant rather than go back. There's just too much overlay between the base Cutter and the Rambler to really justify both. Yes it has more fuel, but the two designs could really be merged without any real loss in terms of ship variety. Plus you could even modify the Rambler interior a bit more to keep the 4 SCU of cargo just by ditching the second weapon rack and shuffling things on the opposite wall a bit more.
@chestonunnewehr695412 күн бұрын
That just sounds like you want the base cutter with the extra fuel. Which is fine, but the Rambler is meant to be a trade-off. Better interior layout, amenities, and range, at the expense of storage. If you don't need the storage, the Rambler is just plain better at literally everything.

I like the additional headlights, they just look cool. The suit locker and kitchen area are great little additions, I just wish it didn't come with the negative of losing so much space in the rear cargo area. I want to stuff a small ground vehicle in the back of an exploration ship (gimme the Tumbril Ranger please CIG!), but I don't think it possible in the Cutter Rambler.

I have this one too. Wanted to use it for low beginner stuff such as courier delivery or searching for underground mines to get Janalite. But currently with the game being in a messy state, doing box missions is a russian roulette thing, but instead of bullets you are dealing with bugs and Janalite is so rare and not worth the price in game making it more of a imagination type of gameplay rather than something profitable (like the old prospectors did with gold). In any case it's a neat little ship that feels homey in contrast to other ships, example aurora which feels like a space coffin xD

I have the Rambler myself and although I'm a fan of the Drake ships, the Cutter line is simply not for me. I think it boils down to the way it looks, more specifically how the front end of this ship looks. It reminds me of an old, tired commuter train. SC has a lot of great ships to choose from so using the Cutter in any of the three variants is rather tough proposition. And yes, I know we're talking about a starter ship here so comparing apples to apples is important, but still. I think if choosing the best starter ship, ignoring the purchase price allows for a better choice from what is available and I feel the differences in prices are not terrible large. The Nomad for example, while more expensive, offers a lot more bang for the buck out of all starter ships because it offers more cargo space which can also store vehicles such as the ROC which is great for mining. I'm planning to trade my Rambler up for the new Zeus ES to have a better looking, better flying, more functional explorer ship 😁
