Star Citizen - Best of the Small Ships, Fit for Pyro

[@qutatron]

315 p has been buffed and now has 1.2 scu of quantum fuel. If I liked origin style, I would choose it. 12 scu of cargo grid, great speed, decent firepower and a tractor beam that makes it easy to collect ubiquitous loot in various locations in pyro makes this ship perfect for exploration and item gathering.

[@asog88]

How does it have MORE fuel than all cutters and even the cutter rambler????🤪

[@qutatron]

@@asog88 have more quantum fuel but 1/3 hydrogen than cutter rambler. 315p is a premium exploration variant of 3001, 1.2 quantum fuel is ok imho

[@asog88]

@ yeah, but no. The syulen and cutter rambler should both have more fuel. Especially the rambler. That’s like its whole thing. It’s literally part of its advertisement

[@qutatron]

@@asog88 Rambler had also the biggest internal storage, right now have the same 650 k locker like other cutters. I think storacge and comfort was the biggest selling point here, byt still I love my Rambler.

[@ericwatson9152]

It’s even better. The 315p has stock stealth components….its going to be my go to daily driver in pyro.

[@Skavenblight13]

Why is everone forgetting the Nomad? 😅 Smallest Ship with 24 SCU. Has a Tractor Beam what makes surviving while doing hauling in Pyro a lot better, because you only has to go out for short Lift Interaction. You can shoot enemies on the Ground and lift their bodies up without danger. Taking up scattered SCU boxes from wreckes is also easy with no danger of going around outside with a Tractor beam and geting caught pants down.

[@Bir-dy]

I do like that ship a lot, but it has 0.7 units of quantum fuel. Which is very underwhelming for a solo adventurer ship.

[@EggyBuilds]

I dunno why but EPTU 4.0 data shows cutter and syulen quantum fuel are dropped to .5. Hopefully it doesn’t stay that way. Weirdly aurora LX is now 1.2.

[@Bir-dy]

Yeah, its a bit weird.

[@ViniciusConsorte]

Aurora LX is a pathfinder, like the 315P it should have more than regular auroras. Cutter and Syulen for me was a plain SCAM.... they were sold with much more fuel and the pitch that they were long range starters.... cutter had 6SCU originaly, it could ran around stanton multiple times, now that it will matter they nerfed it to the ground to sell the Interpid with 1.2SCU, even more than the cutter rambler that have 1SCU. F8C now has 0.7Scu from 2.5 previously. Carrack 10 from 44 Hercules 6 from 88 previously. NERF hammer came down hard, ridiculous.

[@Bir-dy]

@@ViniciusConsorte Indeed, not sure what the end goal with this balance is.

[@asog88]

They are currently screwing over the cutters. The scout and base have .5SCU and the rambler only has 1!

[@Bir-dy]

That's not good for the time being. But they probably will rebalance it with future changes.

[@asog88]

@ I know! Still annoying as pyro comes about

[@Bir-dy]

@@asog88 True, they also adjusted the quantum fuel consumption and probably drives as well.

[@Accuracy158]

315p and now the all the C8/x/r have 1.2 SCUs of quantum fuel now. On another note the Mustang Beta (listed as a pathfinder/exploration ship) massively needs a buff beyond its current 0.5 SCU of QT fuel.

[@Bir-dy]

That's nice and I agree. The small exploration ships need some attention

[@EvernightRyder]

Its kinda weird how little fuel the Nomad has, You'd think something called the Nomad would be able to travel a decent distance but its kinda useless in pyro

[@Bir-dy]

When making this video, I was surprised too. I really like Nomad, but it's just sad.

[@ViniciusConsorte]

you should check the Syulen again, it now have 41Gm stock

[@Bir-dy]

Oh

[@the_babbleboom]

3:40 "similar durability to a light fighter"? where are you getting that from? it still doesnt even come with physical damage reduction and the wings are absolutely frail and exactly because it is so huge its health pool is meaningless. all the parts that health spreads across are weak. the cutter has more health and less parts, damage reduction and a far smaller profile. such a weird thing to bring up for the syulen.

[@Bir-dy]

I did not want to go to specifics, as you pointed out with the example. Every ship is different.

[@Cpt_Zorn]

qt drives are different in 4.0. Vulcan drive gives u 62Gm with 0.5 tank, I am flying Arrow in pyro, no problem. Debug landing pads would be appreciated though.

[@Bir-dy]

That's good to hear, they have made many changes which have altered the QT over the past year or even longer.

[@VaxxedNPC]

Wow you didn't even mention the Zeus ES which has 2.4 SCU and is the most long range small ship there exists... erm the cutter and the scout only have 0.5 scu this patch and the rambler 1.2 IDK where you are getting your numbers from but spviewer can confirm this. the syulen also has 0.5 scu not 1 scu like you say in the video all your numbers are all wrong mate. You don't even explain why you use a 100 million kilometer criteria.

[@Bir-dy]

Zeus is a ship of medium size, I excluded those. Didnt I mention that 100 mil km is the distance which most small ships are not able to do? And its a good round number to use (I still know it is rather little :D). The data I used comes from Erkuls and should apply to live (3.24.3). I did mention there are changes coming with the 4.0 which most likely alters a lot of it.

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

Zeus is medium Cutter has 1 SCU Quantum fuel on both Erkul and SPViewer Syulen has 1 SCU quantum fuel on both He explains why he landed on 100million kilometers at the start of the video before listing any ships Wrongest comment I've seen in weeks on KZbin and that's saying a lot.

[@Bir-dy]

@@CyberneticArgumentCreator I was a bit confused as well :D

[@VaxxedNPC]

@@CyberneticArgumentCreator I used 4.0 data, and the fact none off you didn't check this is saying a lot. 4.0 is releasing in a couple of days it doesn't make any sense not to use 4.0 data.

[@VaxxedNPC]

@@Bir-dy you're talking about PYRO you clown why use 3.24.3 data it makes no sense!???

[@DJCroBar]

I wanna swap out my c1 with something else. I never do cargo so dont need all that cargo space and it handles like crap now 🤷‍♂️

[@Bir-dy]

Well what is your focus or you just want to do a bit of everything? Do you want some cargo space or fully dedicated combat ship?

[@Bir-dy]

Actually many prefer Constellation Taurus at the Moment.

[@DJCroBar]

@@Bir-dy something that could fit one of those greycat buggies if I wanted, a bed for bed logging, the ability to get across most if not all pyro without a refuel half way, and something with at least the firepower of a glad with a lil more armour, apart from that not that fussed.

[@Bir-dy]

@@DJCroBar hmm I guess you mean to fit ROC. Excluding the Spirit series we have: The Zeus Mk2's have some room for it and 2 size 4 weapons, but that might be slightly below Gladius firepower. I think MISC Freelancer series might fill that role. But all except Freelancer MAX are a tight fit with a vehicle. Tho you do get some nice firepower. As bigger ships go: The Constellation series, Corsair and 600i should also be options.

[@ricky6608]

Vanguards the best These are all pirate bait

[@Bir-dy]

I agree, I love that heavy fighter. I think Guardian might be another good one next to Vanguard.

[@davewills6121]

All nonsense, and if your including ANAL STATS.....forget it, you have no control over STATS, you can get by with just a Rambler depending on Gameplay/Factions/REP,/Solo/Org. Ships count for basically nothing if your in a Group/org, you'll have choice, support and strength. Solo...good luck with that, yet no ship will give you more choice/strengh than a Polaris, even with all the Guns/Torps and missiles removed, forget crap like the eunuch 'Starlancer', dire solo, ever tried navigating all those doors/ladders and elevators when your components are being targeted......Polaris, hey get 2
