Wow, you actually understand the 400i, impressive. You know people have completely missed the point when they complain about it not have enough guns for combat or cargo space for space-trucking. If you want a fighter, get a combat ship. If you want a hauler, get a cargo ship. Use the right tool for the right job. The 400i is a compact, long distance explorer and it will do that very well when the game loop comes around. The 400i is a well thought out ship with great stats, everything else is subjective.

[@schlagzahne6741]

Also much faster than the msr in thick atmo and much easier on fuel use

[@Ryecrash617]

It took me a while to warm up to the design despite loving most other Origin ships. Strangely enough, it was the kitchen/dining/cartography area that changed my opinion of it. It's such a great little space.

[@redslate]

I was the exact opposite. I generally dislike the Origin lineup due to the lack of utility for their price points (which is intentional, they're space BMWs/yachts after all), but the 400i hits the perfect balance of opulence : utility. If you're willing to give up half the cargo space of a Constellation Andromeda for something faster, longer ranged, and more luxurious, it's the perfect alternative.

[@TSOP2020]

This is my darth maul ship. I have the red/black accent paint with the white center. Can’t wait for an all black paint

[@Oct0avion]

I REALLY wish there was a bounty hunter version of the 400i. Replace the cartography station with a QD, and reorient the turrets to shoot forwards. Slightly rearrange the cargo area to accommodate some prisoner pods, and it would be an instant buy for me.

[@redslate]

The other thing to note about the 400i: amazing shields. The larger Origin ships (890, 600i) have Top-Tier shielding, designed to simply shrug off even large attacks. The 400i follows suit. For its size, it's unmatched. The bulk of the firepower is directed aft to balance this out, making the 400i more of a 'run away from a fight' type of ship, but it will survive encounters that comparable ships will not.

[@captainharlock3998]

"simply shrug off even large attacks" That must explain how a Corsair eats a 600i in about 10 seconds.

[@redslate]

@captainharlock3998 The 600i can tank S10 Railguns in its current form, something the 890 can't even claim credit for. Clearly not its final incarnation, but it certainly paints the picture against your ignorant-assed assertion.

[@captainharlock3998]

@@redslate It's not an assertion, it's something I did myself just yesterday. So there's that! Post that vid of the 600i tanking a S10 railgun, I'll wait. Until then, sit down.

I love the 400i. There's something about it that I love. I upgraded from it, But I intend to pick it back up.

[@weekendwarriorsports4406]

I had done the same, but now I have it again and plan on keeping it.

[@asog88]

I see this ship is less about giving others a ride and more about giving you and your friends/ now crew a ride. It’s a smaller personal yacht. If you use the ship for its intended purpose of just touring the world, I agree 10 out of 10. If you want to do other stuff? I mean I guess it’s a high class bunker runner? Also loving the unedited narrative

[@warlockghovat5745]

I honestly don’t like the placement of the top turret, mainly because I feel it blocks the view from that back window. The size of its blind spot is another reason I am not a fan of the location. Hopefully if they release a 425a, a version of the 400i intended for exploring more potentially hostile locations, that turret is moved for better coverage.

[@solomonmitchell6048]

You're right. It's an origin ship and it's worth what it's used for. The reason why people don't really warm up to this ship is because alot of it's features aren't in game as of yet

[@bizibetikko2725]

I own a small fleet of ships mostly centered around industrial org gameplay and I'm really looking forward to the day when org mates can summon up which ever one of my ships they need and go to work. All except for one ship, the 400i. That's MY ship. It's just such a nice place to be. It's like a small flying luxury apartment. Just the right size that you don't feel lost and lonely when you're on your own but if a couple of friends come over to go on a little adventure, it's got that covered.

[@EvenLease44]

The 400i is like home away from home, brings real elegance to wherever you travel in the universe.

[@FrazzleCat]

This is my main ship now. The rear gun is in the way of the view, but other than that I don't have significant complaints about it. She's a beaut.

[@simonm7590]

Haha well I love Origin ships but even I’d be struggling to give this 10/10. I think it has some secrets to reveal to us still with this unique climate controlled areas and more multiple redundant components than any other ship out there. I think it’s guns should be gimballed S4’s as stock but with no chance to upgrade them to fixed S5’s. Cargo is on the low side but at least your bike is separate storage area so that good. For me, 7/10 overall but agree this is one of the sexiest ships in the game. If it’s design yields more speed than other ships for outrunning pirates etc then I’d boost it to and 8…I know, I know, you didn’t ask 😂👍

[@EvenLease44]

Yeah. I found it a 10/10 for what it was built and intended for, its current area in the game due to the lack of exploration and such features the ship was made for I could easily see your 7/10.

[@Dr.Kryptanical]

"Straight Off The Elivvrr....The Elivur... The Elevator, Oh My Goodness I Can Not Talk Right Now!" That cracked me up! (me after I had too much country manor at Christmas and the fact i'm a lightweight)

[@KennethSlavaAdamson]

As there is a CCU upgrade for it right now, I think I will snag it... thank you for the review! And the awesome red paint with a dragon :)))

[@WookieeRage]

I got this when it came out and love it, for its size, exploring capabilities, speed, and amenities. There may be better designed ships but not by much and not with the same amazing luxury.

[@EvenLease44]

The interior is amazing.

[@djolltax]

This is the current ship in my sights - thanks for the tour and the info!

[@ttownscott]

Thanks. Based on this review, I just rushed out and bought this in game before the 3.23 wipe. I have an X1 force, so looking forward to using the two together for exploration

[@jinxedjuno]

they should totally make the front garage a shielded cargo bay, keep the bike stowage capability, but also make it have a cargo grid and shielding.

[@wayneervine4737]

Did some reorganisation of my hanger this IAE, so now have one of these in my hanger. My want to have ship to go with my working ships.

[@ShadowGirl-]

For me the 400i is the best daily driver ship, especially now that I can use my X1 Force along side it. Let me explain: Sure it carries less cargo but I don't do cargo running. I wish CIG would fix the hydraulics so it could hold a ROC (just make the ship rise up when the cargo lift is lowered) but its perfect for carrying a car if I want or just the new cargo storage boxes, and any loose boxes I happen to find on my journey. It has space for 3 armor suits, 6 rifles, and many pistols. Im more protected with a size 3 shield, and defensively positioned turrets, which will be AI controlled later with computer blades (generally any remote control turret will have this someday). While it might not seem to have much power, by using the gimbled size 3 guns, it has a large capacitor charge and against NPCs is actually surprisingly decent, or swap to size 4 guns. Part of the reason it has the long front section is because it has an advanced long range scanning sensor array, which when coupled with the nice viewing table in the back is perfect for planning your approach to a facility at a distance, and finding hidden details/vehicles. Internally having the components in separated compartments, three separate spaces with a clean space between them, will be an excellent setup to help you combat the spread of onboard fire. It features a docking port, which will be super fun to use when we are allowed to connect to other ships, or dock at stations using them specifically, and it's super useful in questionable situations, like Jumptown when you need to put boxes into your ship but don't want other players to be able to enter. It's fuel range is exceptional, it features all amenities in beautiful detail and even has a champagne fridge. For a daily driver you would be hard pressed to choose something else in this size range unless you're looking specifically for cargo. Someday survivability will be the most important thing, that's why I pair the shielded X1 variant with this defensively focused ship. Both the 400i and the X1 are good for high speed escapes, designed to get you out alive.

[@EvenLease44]

I totally understand your comment if you pair it with the elegance of origin. But I feel like the Andromeda or Taurus would be the better options if you didn’t care for the design of origin. Has the cargo, guns, shields, and ability to carry the X1 and a roc and if you get the andromeda a snub. It’s truly up to person tastes as always. That’s what makes this game special.

[@savage1764]

It's also a capable smuggler. Fast in atmosphere. Good shields. Adequate cargo space for the lower volume higher value cargos. My ship of choice for drug running.

[@jasonrobinson7922]

Ya true love it..

they got to raise the hieght so i can fit a roc

if you want i have both versions of the 600i you can tour if u need to tour one

Only reason i returne to my corssair was, cant fit the ROC 😢

[@myth-8700]

You have sold me

[@ShathAllenson]

I like it but it's features are a little lacking compared to other ships in that size or price range.

[@EvenLease44]

Yeah in the current game it’s definitely not the best at anything. Has that origin feel though

[@redslate]

That's generally the idea with Origin ships. You pay a bit more for luxury/status, but don't necessarily get additional utility out of them. I do see the 400i as the furthest deviation from this trend however. You _could_ get more utility out of a Constellation Andromeda (twice the cargo, more vehicle compliance), but they seem to be shaping the 400i to be _slightly_ more resilient and a bit sleeker to fly, so the tradeoff isn't unreasonable considering it's an opulent space-yacht.

[@Blue-Mystic]

its $6,352,700 EAC

[@sirannikus]

I think you don't need to pay 200 plus dollars. Just play the game and save aUEC. It's more satisfying.

[@robertschumacher2707]

I really wanted to like the 400 when it first came out but after trying it I just went, 'I have a Constellation and it does everything this ship can, but better.'

[@Leptospirosi]

true, same for me, but the 400i has it's own advantage, like being able to carry a bike outside of the cargo bay, and being damn FAST if you need to get somewhere in a hurry, with fuel tanks to support that. Most of the 400i gamplay is not there yet, like the Bike (available for Luminalia), the "luxury transport loop" and, obviously, the exploration loop, due to the big radar dish on the top and the cartography map table. It also has a lot of exits, which is not a given with CIG. The MSR comes closer to the concept then a Connie, but it's much more fragile, slower, lacks proper fast exits and it trades the exploration for data trading. The only thing I don't like about the 400i is the front view, which doesn't allow you to check that big nose. The Connie has the definite edge as an Utility vehicle, but only the Phoenix (quite expensive) has the same luxury, but without the exploration capability, due to range and lack of equipment. The 400i is also faster, easily hitting 500 Km/s on the deck at ArcCorp, while the Connie barely scrapes the 340Km/s The 400i is the only big ship that can actually left a fighter behind in an atmospheric chase. I have a 600i but I'm planning to downgrade, due to the ineffectiveness in combat (I get always swarmed), the slowness of the ship itself and the age long rework, which will "force" us to get a proper large crew to keep the ship in a flying state.

[@Nemoticon]

Yeah... but the Conni is ugly as fuck and headbutts the ground everytime you land! Quasimodo might have been the 'good guy' in the story, but you still gag everytime you look at his face, lol

Origin is terrible with windows, they are NEARLY ALL FAR TOO HIGH UP. The 400I cockpit is Ok with a decent view, but it ends there. The only decent ship with a view is the PHOENIX/890j. All other ships are coffins or trashcans as far a window/views go.
