Star Citizen 3.24.3 - 10 Minutes More or Less Ship Review - CUTTER RAMBLER

[@EvenLease44]

How many paints does this ship fricken have?!? Haha! What a great little starter ship, totally worth it if you are new to the game! Thanks for watching, you are all awesome!

[@danyhocine]

Not enough! weirdly they all look good on it haha

[@charlespickering2726]

I was like um I don't remember it having this many paints but cool!

[@SmellySloth1971]

Its the VW Camper of the SC world. Of course it would have a ton of paint jobs

[@corwyncorey3703]

it's a shame that you did all those paints but posted this the same day an amazing paint got released: the Dying Star. Good work though!

[@EvenLease44]

@corwyncorey3703 I know… I saw that and wanted to cry lol

[@kombo074]

I'm enjoying seeing all the paints during your reviews. Thank you

[@EvenLease44]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@DaGhostToast]

This ship definitely grew on me. It is cool seeing the lore reflected in its stats too. People always talk about drake ships being taped together but as far as I know they actually tend to be more heavily armoured than other ships because armour is cheaper than shields lol

[@jalpat2272]

The space winnebago aesthetic also more eye catching for me than space yact like origins and crusaders.

[@ACOD05]

Maan the paint showcase at the beginning is a HIT!!

[@Firehawk87]

Me and my buddy own all of the Cutter varients. We love our duct taped space winnebagos, and it's the starter I chose when I first got into the game. It may lack firepower, or speed, or maneuverability, but as a starter ship it's a really good option to me.

[@cyranobuckminster1970]

If I was starting over now, I'd seriously consider this ship. Definitely better than the Aurora MR I started with back in the day.

[@EvenLease44]

@@cyranobuckminster1970 totally agree, this would be such a great starter compared to the two base aurora/mustang options.

[@dololegacy_]

literally just got this last night and you got a video up for it by the morning lol. helping me w my buyers remorse. the fact that this can jump to pyro is all i really needed. I like the look and feel of this ship its going to be my daily transport for anything non-combat. good video brother.

[@GeneCavalcante]

My first ship in SC was the Cutter. the Rambler is fantastic for solo exploration and off grid life. ❤

[@EvenLease44]

Absolutely! Feels like a total space RV.

[@GeneCavalcante]

@EvenLease44 exactly. All you need is 2 boxes and a Pulse at the back of the ship.

[@NayrAnur]

That's the dream right there.

[@hawkzulu5671]

Cutter Scout is my favorite variant due to having some size 2 components, a deeper cargo area than the rambler and what should be advanced scanning - as the scanning/radar systems get more developed. But the Rambler is cool too. The Cutter line in general make great RV camper vans for the verse

[@randomuserame]

Scan/Detect/Stealth is actively being worked on! They had to because they were doing a pass on the regular Terrapin as they were prepping to sell the Medi-Pin

[@valkyrie1689]

I love this thing as a non combat starter, loads of fuel and some space is all you need to get into some tro... Exploration

[@joshuamatthews8951]

Love this little camper esc ship. It's my daily driver when I am going to meet up with people.

[@EvenLease44]

A great choice!

[@MT2_Warlock]

Somebody once pointed out that the front of the Cutter looks just like the front of the Caterpillar’s lower Command pod section (just upside-down) and now I can’t unsee it.

[@verpine3534]

I like the Cutter series and I lean toward the base Cutter as my favorite. It has all the amenities of the Rambler but trades the "walking around" room for cargo space - a much better option imho.The fact I can carry a ROC in the base cutter is fun. It doesn't actually fit, but you can transport it safely with the bay door open since the ROC locks onto the cargo grid. Is it totally safe or smart to do so? You're in a Drake ship, so why even ask that question? LOL! I don't appreciate CIG making most of the starter ships incapable of system-to-system travel because of fuel constraints. That just limits new players' ability to explore, and with only 1-2 systems, that's just bad. Even if a newplayer can start in Pyro with 4.0, a ship with less than 1 unit of Q-fuel will be hard put to get around since Pyro is so big.

[@EvenLease44]

I like the cargo space in the back of the base more too.

[@QuotidianStupidity]

The suit locker will come into it's own when that mechanic is added to the game.

[@Damiv]

I love the Rambler. I can't decided between her and the Intrepid as the best starter ship at the moment.

[@EvenLease44]

Between the two the intrepid can output more DPS and has more space for cargo so it just depends if you prefer function or form.

[@bloodnmetal]

that is by far my favorite starter. it has such RV vibes that I don't realy care about its lackluster firepower. it needs more paints, btw.

[@EvenLease44]

It needs MORE paints?!? 😅

[@talos029]

FYI, you can squeeze a 8 SCU box in the back and still get around it to get in and out

[@stevenflaton2693]

All the cutter variants get bought in game instantly. Love these ships!! Love the paint section now 🔥 o7

[@EvenLease44]

Good ships to have! o7

[@jonascrawley]

The Cutter was my first ship. I came to the game during the IAE it was dropped. I’ve since upgraded it to the Cutter Scout. I’ll always keep it in my fleet for nostalgia!

[@TheGhostryder88]

Slick skins! I CCU one during IAE but have been flying all the big new ships first. Can’t wait to jump in for a short trip around Stanton😁

[@ElijahNMitchell]

I love my little Winnebago. Almost replaced it with the Intrepid but decided to have both. Always nice to have a small start ship on hand.

[@Malikron]

You are my go to SC content creator - love the new format showcasing paints, and the music you played during the showcase was great!

[@EvenLease44]

Thank you!

[@cpt_Dabbler]

I upgraded my Aurora LN starterpack to the base Cutter almost 2 years ago. And I haven't regretted it once. I really love my Cutter. Doesn't carry the most cargo of the starters and isn't very good at combat but still, I would not change it for any other startership at the moment. This ship just has a certain style that I really enjoy.

[@wrextheblind3787]

Probably one of my favorite ships in general. The way it looks and sounds I love it. Reminds me of razor crest from the mandalorian

[@juanecheyt]

iI currently have a little industrial fleet...... but i still have a cutter rambler with Pyrite paint on it (best paint ever).... i love how much QT capacity it has being a ship as small as it is.

[@andrewdavies3584]

Pyrite paint really is the best paint! I would buy it on every ship in my fleet if I could, even my Polaris, it would look sick on that.

[@juanecheyt]

@@andrewdavies3584 I would die if they released it for my Reclaimer..... Pyrite would make the reclaimer "great again".....

[@jeremylozier7339]

I own this and it's usually my preference for daily driving. It's inexpensive to operate and I rarely need to worry about fuel. I'll typically stuff a Mirai pulse in the back with a box and goof around the verse. Not being limited by range in such a small ship is really nice. I've got other larger ships like the Cutty and the MSR but unless I'm doing a specific task like salvage or hauling, I almost always prefer my rambler.

[@LivewareProblem-P4r]

Drake designs are so stripped down and utilitarian. Beautiful in their simplicity. I started with a Titan but have flown one of these a few times. Sweet little runabout and good for bunker missions and transport.

[@TheStellalegs72]

Love the music in the intro.....Pixies, Were is My Mind............kinda, love the Cutters especially the Cutter scout.

[@EvenLease44]

Thank you, the music does sound great!

[@FrazzleCat]

My goodness that's a lot of paints! Excellent use of the opening footage though. Yeah this one's a lot of fun. I enjoy the interior design. It has everything; a seat for a friend, suit locker, weapon / tool storage, shoilet. And the Rambler has good distance, too. IMO, the Cutters are a good example of price & features.

[@EvenLease44]

I agree with you! It’s got great detail and allows for you to do a little bit of everything.

[@CMDR_MURR]

The cutters have to be the best line of ships overall. Perfect little motor homes. Base variant is my fav, but the others are great in their own ways.

[@louhodo5761]

I picked up a Rambler with store credit, and it is a fantastic runabout.

[@stephenkelly8312]

Great intro with the paint showcase. The quality is top notch! I would only suggest adding chapters so we can skip to the review portion if we don’t want to see all the paints.

[@flockofwildcactus]

I think the score is fair, but as you mentioned in the review this ship and variant isn't meant so much for combat or flight characteristics, and more so for accommodations, range and survivability. That's why I have one anyway, as I'm interested in exploration/expedition class ships. The storage space, suit locker and weapon racks say this is a good candidate for exploring harsher environments or doing 'bunker buster' type missions. The jump seat is nice if a friend or other trusted player needs to come along or be picked up. Being able to still fit 2 1SCU storage containers and a Pulse in the back, plus have enough firepower to combat ground vehicles/units, makes it good for ground-based operations or looting. That's how I currently use it anyway haha. That all said, there's something about the package regarding aesthetics and how it flies that makes it enjoyable even with worse stats than some other options. It's very much the Eagle 5 from Spaceballs and I'm all for that. Cheers!

[@SmellySloth1971]

I have to say i am impressed as to what they have squished into the rambler. I had the base and although you lose some cargo on this variant, I much prefer the living space. Thanks as always

[@jasonm2477]

Scout is my favorite, i like the look with the little radar dish thingy

[@ChiefEigtball]

My absolute favorite ship in the verse! You are also killing it with these vids!

[@asbrand]

I have both the Rambler and the Scout. Love this little ship.

[@qutatron]

It's słów and sturdy, to survive bad driving skills of new player, or to give option to fly after couple bottles os Smoltz.

[@gurbachendynamite2472]

So frustrating how spacious and detailed the interior of this tiny fellow is compared to the Freelancer series. Hope they do a *major* rework some day, take out the mini cargo bay or repurpose it with armour lockers and gun racks, make the front half wider, take out two bunks, two seats, add a dining area, nicer bathroom maybe, nice kitchen area. I want to feel like I can really live in there. Sigh, dreaming I know.

[@Trampus10-4]

Omg you have been busy!! I keep getting your notifications but I haven’t had time to watch them all 😂 👍🏼

[@JMacDee01]

Great T2 starter. Love it for bunkers and box missions.

[@mem0ryfoam]

I thought about picking up this ship actually during iae, but I decided to wait it out till next year to flesh out a little exploration fleet to go along side all my industrial ships. I think it'll be fun once some general exploration game loops are added in, to just go out and get lost somewhere, looking for resources, poi's etc one day.

[@johnnymclemore8255]

Despite all its stat shortfalls, I LOVE this ship! I would love to see a top five list from the different game loops from you based on your previous reviews.

[@EvenLease44]

It’s a great ship

[@johnnymclemore8255]

@@EvenLease44 Yeah it is!!

[@andrewdavies3584]

A no-weapon, higher armor/shield with 4 jump seats would make a great small drop ship, like a step up from the Argo Personnel.

[@byrey3]

VTOL mode is not just cosmetic, it actually changes the maneuverability of the ship. Is was Master Modes before Master Modes were invented, less speed but hiigher combat chances

[@amineabdz]

It deserves bonus points for being the coziest ship in the game, it's the perfect space minivan.

[@mrchevyblue]

surely one of the best starter ships! I also love to buy one in-game as soon as possible. I hope to see a medical version in the future.

[@snaggletoof1927]

CIG did a great job designing this ship. Everything a space traveler needs, and nothing they do not.

[@honey-fe6pj]

You missed the best paint of all- the Dying Star paint. I've got my Rambler with Ardor-2 Salvaged Repeaters and Dying Star Paint fitted and ready for Pyro ! Forget big ships as they won't last 5 minutes...small and/or fast and/or stealthy ships will mean you live longer in Pyro.

[@themarveluniverseonline]

[@EvenLease44]

@@themarveluniverseonline tell me about it

[@ColbyTaylor-pp2dy]

Honestly never have tried any of the cutter ships but they look cool, Intrepid, Syulen and origin 100 series are my favorite starters

[@EXRAY479]

This is my friends favourite ship and I can see why its a great little starter ship for some further distance travel, however I do think its ridiculous ships like the zeus and c1 have same or even less fuel than it where they should be at least double of what they currently have.

[@CarterDDana]

My favorite starter by a long shot. Going to disagree with you on your points methodology. You forgot +19 (+1 for each paint 😉) bringing it to a total of 26/10 👌👌

[@asog88]

What do I think of the Rambler? Uh, it’s a flying cargo container that can fit a ATLS, one day Titan suit. That’s an automatic 16 out of 10 score for me

[@EvenLease44]

Reasonable! Haha

[@Kyle-sr6jm]

So Drake it makes the Cutty look refined.

[@CosmicTurtle13]

The Drake Cutter series is my favorite starter ship. They might not be the best at any one thing, but they have more character than any other ships in their price range. That goes for all of the Drake ships for that matter.

[@cygnus6623]

Just upgraded mine to the Intrepid. Much faster and doesn't look like a pug. Pugs are cute, but.... I do love the Graphiti paints on these!

Dam it, now I want a hover board! It’s a good ship for scavenging gameplay. Your video editing skills are putting other channels to shame buddy. 🎉

[@Spankybuzz]

Is the scout still 1 SCU of quantum in 4.0? Rambler was dropped to current sound range…so was the scout also beefed for q-range?

[@randomuserame]

Longest QT range of all starters. If you're eyeing Pyro and don't have a larger ship.. you should shortlist this. Second longest range is Intrepid, followed by Syulen.

[@TheBetterManInBlack]

Cutter looks to be the new Aurora the way CIG is pushing it.

[@MidKnight2142]

I'm torn on what to think of these ships. It's not that I hate them or anything, I just can't put my finger on why I don't love them. I technically have 3 starter ships, Avenger Titan, Intrepid, and P8X Pisces. Intrepid I have, definitely not for the looks or combat, but as an all around decent starter/daily flyer. The P8X I basically use as a shuttle, since I can call for it on ground pads, and it used to be bananas on its actual jump range. The Avenger I have just cause I like the Avenger, I guess it's technically a terrific starter, especially for combat (which i avoid), but i just generally like it. I'm not sure why I would pick the Rambler over any of those, at least for the reasons I have them. I definitely don't fault anyone for having/liking them, I can totally see why.

[@asog88]

@@MidKnight2142 it’s just a taste thing, but until the intrepid, it made sense for the rambler and even cutters to be the king of small RVs

[@EvenLease44]

The cutters are in that position that if you rather a drake ship then this is your choice but if the manufacturer doesn’t matter then there are plenty of options that do the same or better.

[@tman41291]

RV living in space lol. Rambler just has the benefit of extra q fuel right now. All the starter ships more or less are on a level field with each having pros and cons. All in the taste for starters

[@namaikikitsune]

Cutter has best in class cargo/hangar bay and Rambler sacrifices that for a living space that still isn't that useful. The extra fuel is appreciated though.

[@asog88]

@ I mean, when it comes to places like pyro, that extra fuel, food processor (they literally mention the food processor on the pledge store) and armor locker will make a huge difference. And unlike the intrepid, the rambler can still carry a mech suit, ptv and easily a pulse. But really? The vibe of just traveling around the verse in your space ship apartment is 100% worth any negatives

[@Aniqiewan]

I wish the interior was better - doesn't do anything with the extra living space that couldn't fit in the base Cutter. How many weapon racks does a solo pilot need anyway? lol

[@KaybeCA]

The better cheaper Intrepid. While Intrepid is faster and carries more cargo, not being able to safely load even a Pulse without risking collisions is a huge fail on CIG's part. That alone made me keep a Rambler as my small run around ship instead of the Intrepid. Nobody cares about 8 scu of cargo. But people do care about doing bunkers without your ship getting destroyed by bunker turrets.

[@scottboyer8450]

Drake ships are so Iconic. In Rust we Trust.

[@clint7247]

I would add that the Origin 315p should be able to make the jump to Pyro at some point. The 300 series is fairly out of date and needs some love. With the 315p being the pathfinding variant, it should have extended range because of that.

[@Matmat_307]

I never understood why people loved this ship. I always made run of it for looking like an RV. I couldnt even tell you i see a big difference in the variants. HOWEVER, I purchased the rambler and instantly loved it lol. I only use it for a shuttle and not all the things im sure it can do, might do exploration in it versus the SL max, just not sure yet. Im always hesitant to sit on stats like the instant claim and larger q fuel, but for now its a great bang for buck and enjoyable.

[@hanswurst9866]

how can you record and make and edit that many ship reviews in such short amounts of time, basically every day??

[@vaughnuhden]

I love my Eagle-5

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

A 7/10?! I've only been following you a few months and this is tied for the second lowest score you've given this entire time... But it's one of the best starters in the game, particularly as a bunker runner. It can hold two people, which few starters can claim, a variety of small vehicles up to the Mule, and is the cheapest ship to have a suit locker. With the two gun racks, suit locker, vehicle flexibility, and option for a second person, the Rambler is by far the cheapest and best ship for doing almost anything other than ship combat and hauling (which don't get a starter at all for the latter).

[@EvenLease44]

7/10 based on numbers compared to other ships but honestly in a personal experience it can be a 10/10 for some and a 1/10 for others. I feel like it’s a good ship but definitely not the best of starters, but great!

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

I know it's personal. They're all personal. :-D I actually have a Rambler and have been trying to reconcile my feelings between it and the Intrepid. They feel like the closest competitors, but the Rambler is $15 cheaper at the cost of being slower and less agile, with lower DPS and cargo, but more weapons storage, more vehicle flexibility, and a much smaller footprint. I'm pretty sure once they both have working cross-sections the Rambler will also have a smaller one and this be a harder target to pick up, since it's smaller in all dimensions compared to the Intrepid. But I also like going fast, and I prefer the larger and also separate cargo for being able to have supplies (spare components, fuses, food and drink) on one lift and actual cargo on the other.

[@MysteicVoltronus]

I don't like any of the Cutters. The three shortfalls you point means it struggles to do ship to ship bounties, its not an industry ship, not enough cargo space to make money doing that, etc. It is the Honda Civic of the verse because I think it will be one of the most reliable ships. It will get you from point A to point B eventually and provide a place to store some gear and logout from. It is clear the Cutters are THE starter for 1.0. I think its why it became the default loaner for all events and has so many liveries.

[@PlayerSlotAvailable]

I think it is a shame the DRAKE cutter (all variants) can not carry the DRAKE dragonfly... It can carry a lot of other hover bikes, but not the one of the same brand.

Holy Hydrogen fue cap. Where do they put that many SCU of fuel. The whole thing would have to be a highly pressurized fuel tank, and then some extra externally. Did they vent the atmo in the ship and fill it with Hydrogen? Does it even come with life support? Jokes aside, that is WAY more fuel than some other much larger exploration ships. It's half a tanker.

[@voodoo1355]

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

I love this thing but the interior design is nonsensical to me Why does a single occupant ship that doesn't have a cargo focus need 2 weapons lockers Why does Drake's smallest, cheapest ship have a bigger, fancier bathroom than the Caterpillar, that awkwardly eats up extra floorspace because it has to have a right-angle entry

[@QuotidianStupidity]

Why do you need cargo to want to fire FPS weapons?

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

@QuotidianStupidity A weapon rack close to the cargo bay could be used for multi-tools and mobile tools. Presumably this is why the Zeus Mk II CL has a random extra weapon rack in the back of the ship

[@QuotidianStupidity]

@@TheMalevolentSpoon It could be used for a few things, so I don't see how it is nonsensical

I took an immediate dislike to the Cutter line, until this one came out. For some odd reason this one is the one Cutter to rule them all. Even though it's an LTI token for me I just can't bring myself to CCU out of it.
