Entry Level Exploration - The Drake Cutter Rambler First Look & Tour | Star Citizen Ship Review

[@KaryudoDS]

I love the Cutter Rambler. It doesn't even do anything super unique yet but that interior space is nice. It feels like a small home on the go, has shelves, a couple small windows...a reading light lol. I wish they'd add some of that to the older Drake ships when they get around to it. Tempted to upgrade for one of these but I do have a Cutlass.

[@rheyza4475]

i love my Drake cutter but, would love for them to rework the tail end to extend the cargo bay and make door ramp smaller

[@clint7247]

With a very generous amount of fuel for a ship of its size, a complete cabin area, and a decently sized cargo hold, the Cutter Rambler is easily a contender for one of the best starters in the Verse. Thanks for the review.

[@twofacemaze]

Simply enough this is the best video for what I was hoping to find regarding a "tour" of the Rambler. It covered the vehicle exactly well enough for me decide if I would want one. Thanks for all you do, Ryan!

[@chargrove13]

I personally absolutely love the Rambler. It's a great daily driver for doing all sorts of missions. Got a bed when it's time to log out. I got all sorts of weapons on the racks for whatever I'm doing. Able to take missile launcher AND rail gun in one ship! I got two 1scu storage containers there to hold extra ammo and things. I got mine all decorated too as well. Got a bunch of luminalia stuff on display. I absolutely love the ship if I'm just gonna be chilling and doing random shit. I did hear that the fuel was bugged and it's the same as the other cutters.

[@Zarviya]

One thing I really love about the Rambler is the lighting they actually make the ship not MEGA dark

[@klebbe1]

The Rambler seems really nice, just hope they will implement the food/drink dispensers soon. (Considering they kinda got the coffee maker in the 300i working it shouldn't be that far off.)

[@everestsdriveway366]

And the pisces rescue has food water and medpens in the fridge when you spawn it

[@TrogART]

I love the Drake Cutter it gives me Beetle Camper Van vibes! A utilitarian functional craft, an industrial aesthetic.

[@nehemiahwashingtoniii748]

I have the Rambler with the cliffhanger paint. I love this little ship. I've upgraded the systems and weapons (one laser cannon and one distortion cannon), it's great for box missions once they fix the mission bug that won't let you complete it. I'm happy with it.

[@SWAGHummus420]

Would’ve really liked a medical variant for the Cutter to expand the variety for small medical ships since C8R Pisces is the only small medical. 3.22 has been really smooth and been enjoying all of the new features, still looking forward to the new Jump Town.

[@temushin]

I don't really know that there's room for another small medical ship. The only thing I can think of that would distinguish it from the Pisces is a bed for bed-logging - but what would it give up in exchange? Any more amenities and it might as well be a Cutlas Red.

[@Tiyrant]

Great video. Loved the little ground SaR attempt!

[@blasterdrake]

I love the rambler, it has all you need to explore!

[@Homebodies420]

I like the addition of the rambler, and hope to see more variations of some other ships like this.

[@Schooterl]

I've been hearing a lot about the Cutter Rambler, but your video was my first real look at it. So thanks for making this video!

[@JClif]

I love the new upgrades to the ships CIG is making. They seem so fleshed out. Thanks for the showcase!

[@0neEyedT1m]

I would be quite pleased if a food truck drake cutter comes out at some point.

[@PingachuWarham]

I want some space tacos

[@MrLordingit]

For me it would have to be a pizza van with beer on tap.

[@albertoferraboschi5768]

I bought the rambler for the exact same reason, and when we will be able to create our own markers on the new starmap, that will make exploring actually feasible, since you can come back to the interesting places you find

[@akimdeschenes5526]

Nice little review of the rambler. It's always nice to see gameplay and interior view of new ships.

[@eric90000]

I love the Cutters! Started with a regular one, then moved to the Scout. I haven't tried the Rambler yet but I would be tempted. The fact that all the paints are usable on all variants is so awesome - the Noble paint is amazing!

[@DanteSerrano007]

I really like the Rambler. It looks like it would be awesome for camping trips, and to that very spot you were visiting!

[@omg-vert]

You and I are of the same mind with the Rambler. I also upgraded my base cutter to this and my overall feelings about it are right in line with where you are with it.

[@chalky042]

It’s a cool ship and I love that CIG supports content creators with giveaway items! Cheers Mac!

[@snowmind]

I use the Rambler for bunker mission grinding. It is small enough to be able to hide behind rocks in hostile areas, or park right off the door and move a 2SCU box through the bunker's hangar door for all the loot. Faster than using a Carrack and a snub!

[@Fortunes_Irregulars]

With 3.22 being as smooth as it is, nows a good time to take a Rambler for a fly and explore all those caves :p

[@loganwolfram4216]

Wing-like surfaces on spaceships seem like they'd fall into 3 categories: a ) actual wings to allow atmospheric dual-use at the cost of weight b ) heat radiators c ) high power antenna arrays

[@davidherring1524]

Thank you for always sharing your thoughts and time with us. It's greatly appreciated 😌

[@xugans99]

3.22 has been full of amazing updates and features. The new salvaging mechanics have been my favorite among all of them. The X and the San'tok'yai are fun as well, and this little guy is pretty epic and would be really exciting to take around the verse when it gets expanded and exploration is more of a real thing

[@Brian_Earl_Spilner]

This looks like a fun ship! I like the idea of living on the ship for months at a time! Great vid

[@jedapelt2274]

The drake cutter is a beautiful little ship that has a special place in my heart ❤

[@TWJcreative]

Thanks for the walkthrough! Looks like a fun little ship for a new player

[@plyssken1983]

Man i love the cutter, with the noble paint it gets a nice Razor Crest vibe.

[@michaelarbery5373]

Man how good is the Rambler. I've been wanting a cutter for ages!

[@michaelanderson6627]

it's a nice new model... hope they come out with some more! :) Merry Christmas!

[@tovirus9818]

Loved the intro there 👌 Pulled me in instantly 🤩

[@bloodmerc9240]

Thanks for the tour! The rambler looks pretty nice for some daily driving or long-distance errands. If you're worried about the loss of cargo space from the original, there's always other ships that could do hauling better anyway.

[@stormfire962imastarcitizen5]

SuperMacBrother well done on this on this video and I found the whole thing very enjoyable. On a sidenote about our space suits and where we will be storing them in our ships. At some point in time CIG will give us the ability to clean and maintain our suits as well as recharge the battery on it which is used to keep us warm and maintain our life support system in it. I am even willing to bet they might even consider giving us the ability to upgrade our suits and customize them to whatever we want them to be with any available accessories. Sir may you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and bless as well.

[@unprove]

I’m not usually a Drake fan, but I love the Rambler!

[@brianjones3365]

Had to get this one to complete the set…couldn’t resist

[@_..-._.-_-_]

Thanks Ryan for keepings us informed!

[@cyborghunter5933]

I'm a fan of the Drake line of ships myself. The cross between military function and industrial simplicity speaks to me. I have the Cutlass Black and also looking at getting the Vulture and Corsair in the future.

[@arrisan8283]

You're a good personn, and as a fellow who possed corsair and vulture i don't regret anithing.

[@lislehill3198]

My favorite thing to do in 3.22 has become cargo. The introduction of the c1 at the IAE kinda got me into it

[@Deva-Jufan]

I like the idea of the Rambler. Fits the way I play, sometimes just flying around checking things out in the verse.

[@VonChoker]

I would love to get hold of one of these as a basic driver - good for bunker missions and box deliveries

[@solomoncristatus1182]

Good review of the Rambler. In future ship reviews, may I make a suggestion that it would be helpful to hear a little more detail about how a ship flys, things like SCM and top speeds in space and in atmo at say 1000m would be nice. Love your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Petespot]

Thanks for all your work... Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@SendySenderson]

Always enjoy your vids! Trying to decide between the Scout (a few s2 components, more flexible cargo area) and the Rambler (looking forward them adding the extended fuel tanks, love the floodlights).

[@louiscoetzee9792]

Definitely my favourite of the 3 variants. Noble paint looks epic❤

[@Draco_Arcane]

I love the rambler, exploration is my main interest. I love armories which sold me on it. The fact you have 2 extra chairs for friends is great.

[@kaisersolo76]

Great stuff you might of sold me on it. just need to wait for the miltary buggy and this is perfect

[@secretweapon7764]

I wasn't really a fan of the Rambler, but your tour makes me want to take a closer look. Keep up the good work!

[@TheGhostryder88]

Looking back now, I wish I had this version instead the base model. Those lights are a neccessity on those dark moons!

[@Jamie-666]

Ideal for hopping between outposts, POIs, on planets.

[@tehBoxxyMan]

Drake has the best aesthetic!

[@cv368]

I also ended up upgrading my standard Cutter to the Rambler, just to prepare for actually living in our ships for some time. But i am also dreading the day when the new aerodynamics come live

[@James-w5h3c]

This is the Van Life spaceship I've been waiting for.

[@garyturton821]

Nice video, Nice ship.. I've got some pals just getting started so i'll pass this on!

[@-NateTheGreat]

I have been searching for a "Van Life" ship for quite some time. The Rambler is that ship for me!

[@sherlykaru]

At the begining of when you start speaking, gave me skyrim vibes "Hey you, finally awake huh?" Out of them all cutter starters my personal favorite is the scout considering the scanning mechanics that will be added later on, but this one is more like for when you're going exploring around, chill fly around a planet, more exploration once we get even more settlements. Sadly not a ship i'd keep if i can just afford anything better. As an extra, with persistence ships as you mentioned, little by little you would find more interesting things, suddenly a c2 in the ground after being attacked by pirates, a battlefield ready to be scavenged, things like that

[@Xaveth]

I just picked up a Rambler and really like it.

[@RealGyouza]

The rambler always just makes me think of a camper but like one that your friends family has had for ever and swear is the only way to camp. But also I like it

[@Damiv]

I like how the flowers come up through the ramp when it's lowered.

[@robopenguin5501]

One thing I think to note about the Cutter and particularly the Rambler: The size 1 quantum drives are the fastest currently in the game with the VK00 going 280,000km/s compared to the next fastest size 2 drive the XL-1 of 260,000km/s. Combining this with the large fuel tank, and INSTANT claim timer when you expedite the claim - the ship is a perfect courier for getting anywhere as quickly as you can. I imagine the large fuel tank will be especially useful in Pyro.

[@Paulgswanson]

I like the looks of the rambler. It's got a nice silhouette

[@cb_the_kirb]

I really like the space Winnebago. It’s not very functional for now but it is really cool, which for a secondary ship is pretty good. Also, landing at MT/Hur locations with anything other than a tiny ship is often a hassle now, so that’s actually a neat bonus for anything this size.

[@SuperMontsta]

Just came to call it a space Winnebago. Haven't even seen the video yet, but looks like one on the outside.

[@Tenpaths]

Looking forward to seeing how many Rangers fit in a Rambler!

[@Seanenanigans]

This thing is basically a flying Hab. I got one and I am enjoying it. The fuel tank is great and even better when you upgrade to a faster drive.

[@Zevuclie]

I think Rambler is a perfect personal runabout.

[@1796Sanctuary]

I quite like the cutters looks. its nice to see these types of ships being brought into the game

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

By the way, Happy Luminalia and thank you for an informative and very pleasant, relaxed video!

[@TheVodec]

Love the Drake line of ships!

[@unsoundVed]

After watching this vid I recall how much I miss zero to hero... Plz start that series again soon

[@MichaelDavidWiller]

3.22 is feeling a lot like 3.17 to me in the sense that it's stable enough to just play with friends. I'm looking forward to getting some time in next week once I'm off work! 🎄

[@HillyBilly.]

3.22 - Just living in my corsair as much as possible! - I've started placing random items from the spawn habs to make it feel like home (and make me more angry when I crash :D)

[@owenlyell8675]

I do like the look of the Rambler :) Nice !

[@testpattern23]

I do really like this ship. I really like the Drake aesthetic as well.

[@Wolf_Rayet]

love all the Cuttrs,a really cool ship

[@Ryusuke_M]

This is such a cute ship, on par with nomad interior!

[@Ponial]

Good enough looking ship, the tail bit defiantly looks better then base cutter.

[@Wh1terider]

Don't forget. Expedition is the next layer deep to exploration hence it's definition! The Cutter is Explore / Exped variant. Cheers!

[@brentgath4447]

This is my favorite variant of the Cutter. It seems that most don't like it, for some reason. I like all the extra features (gun rack, food machine, table and jump seat).

[@PingWhisper]

Food machine that literally does nothing. Cool you like it, but it's just a meh variant. Base version is honestly better.

[@brentgath4447]

@@PingWhisperTo each his/her own, I suppose. Be safe out there!

[@capnsquirrel4017]

Great intro Mac!!!

[@VoidLock1337]

Thanks for showing us the ship! Awesome little ship 👍 we deffinatly need more entry level caravan style livable ships. Things that allow us to live in the verse and not just die in it 😅

[@anothergoogleuser]

I really like the new tractor-beam cargo play.

[@shaun3423]

This ship is tempting. Nice, needs more paint options though

[@a.dudeman7715]

The Rambler solidifies my earliest opinion of the Cutter- It's a space Winnebago. All it needs is shag carpet and wood paneling. It'll be the perfect small exploration rig once exploring is an actual game mechanic.

[@maridian]

This thing needs a Winnebago livery so we can pretend this is spaceballs.

[@jaymayhem8346]

The other design change is the little fins on the engines to go along with the spoilers.

[@xm153088]

I am not the biggest fan of the Cutter, but I do own the Rambler and the Scout. They are great for getting in and out of and I like using mine to make those runs to ground missions for easy flight and a small parking space.

[@snaggletoof1927]

I like the original Cutter. I should try out these variants.

[@flanthegun]

I like the rambler its like a space camper van

[@Hardwayistheonlyway]

Got the Cutter scout myself due to the S2 parts, although i do like the look of the rambler. Maybe i'll buy one for my m8 who's a stick in the mud and hasn't bought SC yet. Soon i will convert him :D

[@Selig5]

It is definitelly my favourite of all cutters :)

[@specialcircs]

I think the Rambler is now my preferred Cutter variant, although for some reason it won't power up in the latest LIVE patch (for me), altho all other ships do. Love the Rambler.

[@EphemeralThought]

Cute and rugged. Me like. Would add a more comfortable chair in the living area for reading.

[@wonkeydonkey_o7]

I have more capable ships in my fleet...but the cutter is one of my most used ships, it's so handy and got such a great vibe to it

[@justasrandom6609]

I love the scout spoiler!

[@FlesHBoX]

I kinda dig that. Will need to take a look at the regular cutter I've got on my pirate account and see if I want to upgrade it.

[@marinosbitter]

It's funny how some of the most insignificant ships can be so endearing for use in the game. This ship does nothing at a high level, is a jack of some trades master of absolutely none, but somehow its home.

[@tsolive]

Currently pledged with a Cutter...debating on upgrading to the Rambler.

[@bobtubitron]

Keep up the great content, SMB!!!
