In this video I go over the 5 Venus Next corporations and rank them based on their strength and flexibility when playing with base game and preludes. I already made such a tier list in 2021 but since then, my opinion on a lot of these corps has changed, so I deemed it necessary to update it!
I hope you enjoy the video and if you do, please leave a like and consider subscribing 🙂

Nice update on current corps meta with venus introduced! I watched your older video from 2 years ago and couldn't agree with some corp rankings such as PL or ecoline/Tharsis meta. Also nice to hear they adjusted floaters in colonies, hopefully we get it on steam!
I think you should break up your be tier XD
One other fun quirk about Manutech is that it can also play Moss and Nitro Moss without needing plants since you can spend the plant Manutech produces from its ability.
Great list! Completely agree with the ratings.
If there was a tier between C and F, I would probably put Aphrodite there. I think it's definitely better than Phobo or Thorgate, as it's more flexible. Good starting capital and two useful tags (*cough* NRA). The one plant prod is crap on its own, but if you have a plant prod prelude or a cheap plant prod card, it becomes quite good.
So after all this pondering, maaaybe low C tier for me.
Do you really not think colonies affects the rating for thorgate?
I agree, manutech is top tier and aphrodite is sh*t however, once I was able to beat with aphrodite someone who played with manutech 😅. It was insane.
