Howdy folks! IAE 2952 is upon us and with the new Drake Cutter hitting the stores I thought it was a good time to give a run down of starter ships to help out new soon to be Citizen’s make their first choice!

I really REALLY like the cutter
Interesting that your prices are different than mine are. My prices are lower for some reason
Mate, you got your Reliants mixed up, Tana is the starter, Kore is the combat and Mako is the reporter
The Nomad has been made such a poor choice by the massive Quant tank on the Cutlet. The Nomad should have gotten a large tank like that to make it worth if for a ship just 20 bucks less than a cutlass
Is it me or was the Corsair sluggish?
As you would expect from Loudguns this was awesome. Even those of us vets enjoy these. Perhaps especially us vets. Ehem.. keep on the good work man!
so, if im getting this right… after watching all i've watched
you are trying to sell 1 v3 metas as a starcitizen cowboy hood
Great video thank you! Lots of great ships, I am hoping now that the Devs have shown they will revisit ships with a proper update given how much they have improved with ship design and production – I am hoping they will revisit several ships, one of which is the Nomad. It first needs a proper back door to reach the cargo deck, makes for getting in and out of the MULE and ROC much better. Also need to adjust the lights in the cockpit so not to hit the pilot in the face, lastly is the metallic ringing engine noise tone it down or tune it less grating. Lastly improved fuel range as its ship Name does not fit well with its performance
With mantling that is supposedly out soon, this will help with the Cutlass series getting in the side of the ship when there are problems with the back gate ramp. That or CIG needs to sell us an LTI for various Ladders.
These are some nice changes and releases, helps bolster confidence some in their development process.
Thanks again, looking forward to your next video!
As always, your guides are thorough and balanced and I'm always pointing newbies to your channel.
Cheers
is it worth it to spend extra on the pisces vs the cutter starter pack?
Also if I want the pisces should I get the cutter and ccu up to the pisces to get the cutters life time insurance?
Looked nice just not in the market for a starter ship
Does it take a lot of grinding to afford one of these ships with in game currency?
How much is the cutlas black starter pack in the iae ?
(Both ship and game)
Nov 22 "Ready to take Anvil's newest ship for a spin? So are we."
This may be huge.
Hah you messed up the reliant versions *giddy nerd noises
With the discount on the Cutter there is no competition on what is the best starter ship, in my opinion. Sure it doesn't have as many guns but unless you're a dogfighting god you shouldn't be dogfighting in a starter ship. 😆 Now if you're including the let's call it tier 1.5 starter ships I would give my vote to the avenger Titan. A bit more cargo at 8 units and better combat performance while still having a bed to log out in. Now logging out really isn't something I'd want to do currently in the game. I've had problems logging back in sometimes. Better to log out at a station or major city.
After you outgrow a starter ship I would guess the majority of players that don't want to spend a crap ton of money will gravitate towards either the Cutlass Black or the Freelancer. The Cutlass is more offensively oriented while the Freelancer is a more defensive cargo hauler. Freelancer has twice the shields while the Cutlass has a turret that can face forward to help attack things.
Cheers, great starter vid.
I'm still torn over the usefulness of a bed, and that's a major factor for me, but also accessibility is a big one I think. E.g. I had the 300 series but hated that long clip entering the ship. The 100 series is much better in that way
If the kore had a bed, I'd be sorted!
I was to get a C8X this IAE but bought a warbond Cutter in the end as I can't see the advantage of the C8X now other than two seats and being spawnable at outposts.
I hope they release the groundswell cutter paint to non-conceirge!
Small correction, Loud mixed up two of the Reliants here. The Tana is the fighter, whilst the Mako is the reporter/news van.
Nice overview I would agree with everything you said. but for me looks of the ship is also important even though like you say "the player may not stay very long in a starter ship"
Ive gone for the Pisces as my starter now days as like you said it fits into a run about ship when you get up to a ship caring level like the Carrack, Polaris, Odyssey, Kraken LOL .
it is funny thinking of a starter ship been used later on in the late game but they still have a use
I'm watching this as my game downloads. Thank you sir!
I really wish CIG thought about the ROC when they released the Cutter, they should have made it fit correctly or not fit at all. The biggest thing that the Cutter has shown is how badly the Aurora and Mustang need a gold pass. Hopefully they do it for 4.0.
This was a good one 🙂
I would suggest a starter ship for everyone. Doesn't matter if it's the first or the fifteenth ship…
You can always find use for a fast shuttle from here to there.
Love the cutter it’s a great starter and the best one imo at the current price. When it’s more expensive I still would say get the titan if you are looking to spend more than 45
One of the benefits of the Pisces; out of all the starter ships, it is the only one I know of that can be spawned at the PB platforms at mining/research outposts. Pretty handy in a pinch!
Avenger Titan by a lot. I own so many ships and still fly that more than any of my ships. With the Ranger implemented I'll fly it even more
The Cutter might be my favorite starter right now but the Titan is probably the best all around slightly more advanced starter.
