It Came out amidst the declaration that it was the 'Cutlass Killer'. It is the cargo variant of Crusaders Spirit Series; the C1.
In this Video I go over what it is, what it has, what it does, and what looms just on the Horizon for this Humble Hauler.

The C1 is not the first Crusader ship with VTOLs, the Hercules’ wing tips also pivot into down-facing thrusters.

Does it really? I've not noticed an upward boost, I'll have to revisit it!

Oh, I don’t know if it actually provides extra lift, but the thrusters do rotate at least on the model

I wanted a ship this size for a while, but refused to buy the Cutlass like everyone else. As soon as the Spirit dropped, I jumped on it. It's a great ship, and it my daily now. My only gripe is the single entry point in the back (would love direct cockpit access like the Titan).

@BeardofOz 2 ай бұрын

It's a common sentiment (for the MSR too)!

@bradac56 2 ай бұрын

We have vastly different ideas about the word "spacious" my friend :) My daily drivers are a Freelancer Max and a Vulture in solo mode so take that as you will. I also got the C1 loaner via the Zeus CL and I haven't been impressed. Yea it flies a bit faster and smother than the MAX but it's not a money making work horse by any means. Hopefully the Zeus impresses more.

@Shrike_AFK 3 ай бұрын

I think that second door in the back is there to hinder other players from seeing if your cargo bay is empty or not when you enter your ship.

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

Maybe. A scan would likely reveal it though.

@Shrike_AFK 3 ай бұрын

I meant other players on foot not in another ship. Forgot to mention that.

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

That's fair. I do wish it would lock similarly to external doors though, reducing the likelihood of stowaways should you leave the ramp down and turn your back 😂

@Shrike_AFK 2 ай бұрын

Yeah that would be nice. Maybe when remote controlling ships makes it into the game it will be more useful.

@schlagzahne6741 2 ай бұрын

More likely to be a nice little airlock if someone blows open your ramp

@e56hdyhdfgh 3 ай бұрын

For me, it is as simple as: C1 is for solo, Cutlass is for when playing with a friend. Waiting to see the Zeus. C1 is my package ship right now and I love it, but will possibly upgrade to that during invictus or whenever it drops. Would also change to a Taurus potentially if it got a gold pass/update. Love that ship and it is perfect for my preferred gameplay currently, even solo.

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

Taurus is an easy choice. I'm hoping the Zeus feels like a Taurus Mini

@mazack00 3 ай бұрын

I feel like the C1 is an easy-mode money grab for CIG. Modular ships are a big L so sales on something like a 'tali in the now-times are impossible so... "Ey we made a bomber, and look we also got a cargo version ey"

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

It certainly felt that way, especially with the Zeus Pledge dropping hot on the heels of it's release to the PU

@blomsky3475 2 ай бұрын

Usually I´m looking for the smallest ship to fullfill a given task. That generally excludes Crusader ships, because they are in almost all cases wider in size than their counterparts. But what makes the C1 a real nogo for me is the small number of MFDs, with Freelancer having double and Cuttie even three times the number of MFDs.

@BeardofOz 2 ай бұрын

This is a valid point. More MFDs is better. I just wish we could get some dang persistence on them. Same as our fire groups!

@Leptospirosi 3 ай бұрын

I have a Spirit since concept, and also a CCU to the A1and the E1. I'm waiting for the Zeus and then decide about what to do, but the CL seems really juicy. The Spirit to me is bloated: too large for what it does when it comes to footprint, too many doors in a one floor hull and the landing gear is too low on the ground. It also commits the same deadly sin of the MSR and the Carrack: it lacks a secondary entrance for getting just people in and out. the C1 is probably a goner in my fleet, as I never felt anything for this ship, same as for the MSR: I own them to CCU to something else. I think the pinnacle when it comes to ship design, the "Just Right", was reached with the Constellation and the Freelancer: too bad these ships have grow obsolete, with broken metrics and we will probably never see a proper retooling (F-7C => F-C MkII): why fix the ship we already bought when they can sell us new ones?

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

I'm a big fan of the Constellation (Taurus is best, I'll not be taking further questions) So I'm hoping the Zeus captures that same level of Chefs Kiss but with the Gold Plated Level of newer ships

Using the speed, shields, and weapons to escape a sticky situation will be taken away with Master Modes, unfortunately. That being said, I prefer the C1 over the Cutty and Freelancer. It's been my (mostly) daily driver.

So far, I've not engaged in PVP in 3.23, but in a few PVE encounters, I was easily able to disengage from enemies in Nav mode. The Ship took some hits once the shields dropped, but the hull held out long enough to put some distance between us before I made the altitude to jump. I'm going to do some more trials, but so far, it hasn't been disastrous.

@nehemiahwashingtoniii748 3 ай бұрын

If you hit boost while switching to NAV mode you won't lose any speed, I've tried it. I wanted to see how well it worked when I learned it from a Redditer. I took it a step further. I set my trim first then switch to NAV, then hit boost. You won't be caught and will take very little damage if any.

I have noticed also that entering QT at a particular speed would result in me exiting QT at that same speed and 'coasting' even without Cruise Control on (I also fly coupled so I found that interesting). I wonder if this is intended or just an EPTU thing.

Cutlass killer? Even though CIG said the C1 was a Cutlass competitor, it’s really not. The Cutlass is a multi-crew ship that is combat oriented, while the C1 is a solo ship that is cargo oriented. Yeah it has a tractor beam turret, but no one needs a second person for that. You’d use one or the other depending on what you’re doing. That’s not really a competition imo.

Nope the C1 is to much empty space and makes landing a pain both hangers and planetside since there is almost never flat enough ground to allow it to land with out been uneven or damage the ramp when you lower it or even leave it to high in the air to get back in if not careful. The Zeus is going to be the real killer of the Cutlass and the C1 since its about the same size as the Cutlass and the cargo hold is just so much bigger.

@BeardofOz 3 ай бұрын

The C1 sure does teeter when landing on the Surface of moons (especially Aberdeen from memory). I hope the Zeus sits a little more nicely 😅
