Star Citizen Why I swapped my 300i for a 315p, and why you should too

Here is a video explaining why I swapped out my 300i for a 315p and why I recommend everyone else who owns a 300i should do the same.

My first pledge back in the day was a 315p. It’s been a while since then but I imagine it will remain a good ship throughout. Very curious about how the tractor beam will be implemented. I look forward to the day things don’t clip throw those lift bays. For now good luck manually placing a box in the cargo slot.

[@GabrielVitor-kq6uj]

It doesn't clip anymore

[@benmoi3390]

I wish they would make a 315p version with passenger seats instead of the living quarter... thus becoming a luxury "jet" for passenger and cargo and would be way more appropriate for the 890 as a shuttle to bring in guesses with their belongings, for a cruise; because right now the 85x isn't a shuttle as the pisces is..

[@gorgewashington1216]

nice idea !

[@GabrielVitor-kq6uj]

A 310E version, E for "Executive" maybe... I would like to seed transport personal missions, lile transporting A.I. from A to B

[@lex4592]

That would be awesome, i recon we could see something like that when modularity comes in

[@eziop5539]

This is an incredible idea

[@Exav2]

315p was the first ship I got, upgraded my starter pack to it before I even finished downloading the game. Haven't looked back since and she's still in my fleet with all stealthy components

[@SpaceShortsYT]

I really like the 315p. The fuel capacity is really nice and I'm thinking they might be up to something with that utility on the nose.

[@TheBeltline49525]

Thanks for the info. I haven't played in 1-2 yrs, I try and keep up on what's going on. I love the look of your ship! Great video & excited for the next one.

[@shawnesy]

I started with an Avenger Titan a few months ago but bought a 315p in game on a lark and I absolutely love it. I'm thinking of upgrading my starter ship to the 315p but hesitate b/c I don't think you can put a 1 SCU storage tote in the drop down storage bay. I use that size tote for bunker missions.

[@ericwollaston5654]

I cannot fault your video on the 315p, as I had it for a long time for the reasons you state - tractor beam, increased cargo, expanded quantum fuel plus all the 300 series amenities. And the stealth components. Great ship except a pain to get inside with the 🪜. But last IAE, I traded it in for the Nomad and never looked back. Tractor beam, double the cargo of the 315p, increased QT (only 771), good amenities (not Origin luxury but it's a pick up truck), and I like that it has an airlock separating the living area from the outside for the future. And the cockpit viewing area, though obstructed, gives vision in all directions. It's more expensive but I liked it better. Ship preference is so subjective, it's not all about the numbers. You cannot go wrong if combat isn't your thing with the 315p. And tractor beams are coming - the sneak peek in a recent newsletter has the 315p and its removed tractor beam as a focus.

[@Tenjac]

If you're just looking for cargo the HULL B was $10 more and hauls 384 cargo. They bumped the price $50 at this IAE though.

[@ericwollaston5654]

@@Tenjac Yes, have the Hull-B ready to go from earlier CCU. but the Hull series cannot carry a ROC, or at least deploy one easy. I also think the Hull series cargo has gone up based on the A shown at IAE. The C is spot on based on display and standardized 32 SCU containers. Though it appears it COULD hold more.

[@Tenjac]

@@ericwollaston5654 I was going to take a Harbinger to a HULL D, but then it ended up just a HULL C thanks to the prince jump.

[@ericwollaston5654]

@@Tenjac Still plenty big in capacity. Good luck with it.

[@ronstahl5783]

I think you missed the intention of this ship. The biggest difference between the 315 and other 300's is that it comes stock with stealth components. This is the premier smuggling ship. Though it can be improved with class A components, it is quite capable with the stock loadout. If you want to max it for smuggling, equip 2 Mantis, 1 FR66, 1 Suldrath, 1 Slipstream, 2 Ultraflow, and an Atlas for time optimization. Fly with everything off but the Slipstream and Ultraflows, and turn everything on with a single command word when in combat. However, the optimization doesn't make that much difference to the range needed to spot you so it can indeed be flown right out of the box for smuggling.

[@barryr.9354]

i took the gt version, does the same count then?

[@ParagonFangXen]

Dude... i think YOU missed the point. Its not really a stealth cargo ship. Its an Explorer. Its meant for Exploration, thus its scanner (still to be implemented). Its stealth components help keep it safe while exploring atmospheres and i suspect its cargo capacity is for finding rare lootables and crates at exploration discovery sites. Shielded cargo would help keep delicate or culturally sensitive materials like relics away from prying eyes. Its not primarilly a stealth cargo runner, although it is cool you can use it as such.

[@Idle_Timer]

Here I thought the biggest difference was the utility mount, as all components are swappable with other same sized components, thus making the default load out a very minor difference.

[@TAW4SHI]

can you do an update? im thinking about buying 100i vs titan avngr vs 300i and now watching ur vid want to buy 315i more

Big fan of the 300 series! I have the 315P & 325A, both provide an incredible ride/experience. I also ran Obsidian haha! Though I slapped Ultramarine on my 325, just to differentiate lol. As someone who loves to have black vehicles, this was a difficult decision haha, might even go back for Sterling

[@projectmungo]

Dude, its not only the cargo bay and the fuel capacity. It also has Stealthcomponents. The perfect Smuggler. 🤙

[@AndrewDavid84]

It doesn't have stealth components

[@projectmungo]

@@AndrewDavid84 You are kind of right. By default it has stealth components build in, so its kinda stealthy. last time i played the 315 was the only model, out of the 300 series, able to use stealth components. Now it seems all can use stealth parts. I dont like this.

[@thereisnospoon3595]

I bought the Aurora, and then the Titan, then I found out about the 315p. I bought it not realizing how much I would love it, the styling on the inside, fun to lay down during a long warp across the galaxy, the storage, etc. It is great also because it is small and easy to park when you want to get close to bunkers. Only complaint is its pretty fragile, but the other pluses make up for it. I would skip the Titan if they wipe and go right for the 315p this time.

[@Bruce_Warren]

👍🏽Great review Mate, I'll be using that tractor beam to marshal rocks in operations with my Odyssey down the line, but for now it's a fun, comfy departure from all of my other ships😁 cheers!🍻

The 315P is my daily driver. This ship is amazing. Everything he says in the video is factual. This ship is amazing!

[@j.d.4697]

I may just be too bad at ship combat, but even the 325a feels bad in combat. It's super nice until you get hit once or twice, then part of your wing is gone and usually that means spin of death.

[@nickeling2776]

I can not confirm. The maneuver thrusters are all on the hull. When the new atmospheric flight model arrives, it might be difficult to fly without wings, but at the moment the ship can be easily controlled even without wings.

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

Since I already have a cutlass on my account I don’t have a use for this particular ship. However, it’s a very pretty little ship that I wouldn’t mind just flying around in while going sightseeing.

[@christopherboyle2403]

Get the 100 series if you want to do that. It looks like a squashed 300 series but if you land on planet and turn your engines off but leave the systems powered it actually refuels hydrogen. Practically free. Pay for quantum fuel and repairs, the perfect runabout.

[@deejagers716]

beautiful ship but if you want to put boxes is very difficult , they moving around. I Titan you just put inside and done

[@elitegenesis1583]

it is one of the best in its price range but it's about what you value. You can run more but your less protected. If you value is the Cargo amount for the size, then consider the Consolidated Outland Nomad for double the cargo at a minor 15$ price increase [or about 60k more AUEC if you're buying in game]. Same size, 3 guns instead of 2, 3 Shield generators instead of 2, 3x the Hydrogen fuel, and nearly the same quantum fuel. Or if you're really only want cargo you could pledge for the not yet in game Hull A with near 50 SCU. Same Price as the Nomad same size as both the Nomad and the 315. It's about what you value.

nomad and hull a are about this size and haul more :D

[@neocodexx]

This ship is a complete waste of time for cargo hauling. Just do bounties instead, even without a nose gun you would make money faster lol. If you want to be efficient use 100i for courier missions and thats about it and put the rest of your credits elsewhere. Or just use 325 for both. As for cargo hauling, anything below 200 scu is pretty much a waste of time and has always been this far in the alpha. Go big or go home. Maybe a freelancer max could be a starting point but thats like a C tier for cargo hauling if were being generous. Theres just better ways to make money than hauling less than 100 scu its a joke.

[@davidmohnhonk9329]

Hi Spartan, 10 yrs ago I pledged for SC with the 315P package. Now I recently checked out the state of the game and decided it's worth a try. I went into my SC account on the website the first time after many years. I can see the 315P in my hangar, but I can't DL the game, because it says I dont have a game package. Back in the day, as faras I remember all pledges above 45$ meant, the game will be playable and the 315P was at 55$. Any idea what to do here? I dont want to spent another now 57 bucks for a starter package. That would suck balls.

[@eziop5539]

No one replied to you, but maybe what you can do is convert your 315P into store credit, and buy a game package with that store credit? You may need to pay a bit of difference though. (I have no idea if this is possible, but it's worth checking). But from what I know, no amount of pledging will let you play the game without the starter package.

[@deejagers716]

you mean you buy? what is the meaning of the word pledged?

soo.. What about the 315P/GT ?

[@Kjear]

Which is faster? I legit just fully customized my 300i so idk if id upgrade just to let the money for the previous customization go to waste lol

[@spartan3937]

To the best of my knowledge the 315p is faster with a speed of 210m/s compared to the 300i’s 204m/s. And the afterburner speed of the 315p is 1223m/s where the 300i is 1188m/s. However if speed if a priority then perhaps look into the 350r but that ship does make a few sacrifices for that speed like cargo and cabin space. Also double check how the money from the customisation works as when you melt/upgrade the ship it could go into store credit but I’m not sure as I’ve never done it. Hope this helps 😁

[@Kjear]

@@spartan3937 yeah that's why I don't want the 350r and the 315p interior is identical to the 300i with the colors which is why I like it! Thanks a lot! I'll see if I can figur something out

[@reavern]

To be fair, ANY variant of the 300 series is better than the base model 300i. The 300i is for n00bs who don’t know what they want to do in the PU so they want a jack-of-all-trades ship to try things out. I like the 315p… but I already own better ships for exploration, hauling, and touring, so I don’t own one. I like the updated 315p with its ventral cargo bay. It’s great that CIG made the design choice for luxury ship-maker Origin to sequester the cargo from the cockpit/cabin and hide it the belly of the ship. It also like the obsidian paint job - I always choose dark paint jobs because they’re harder to see in space. IMO the main feature of the 315p is the tractor beam, but since it’s currently not operational, I can’t justify owning a 315p. Once the tractor beam works and CIG introduces Exploration and Salvaging gameplay, the 315p will be a great ship choice.
