The Banu defender is so great flying in atmosphere to the point it scares me how smooth it flys plus a size 2 shield! May this ship never be nerf

I bought my 315p as my original pledge ship in 2013… it is STILL my favorite! It’s vast internal inventory combined with its independent cargo bays that do not provide access to the interior make it ideal for looting runs in bunkers … able to carry multiple 1SCU cargo boxes in its 2 separate cargo bays

The Mustang Alpha suffers from years of negative comments. People don't realize that now you CAN do box missions. This totally makes it better than the Aurora MR.

Im always amazed with the footage you use to create these videos! Another great video Vici!

2 days ago I purchased a custom 315P in Onyx Black with woodgrain interior. Also a Mustang Beta with the 3 paint pack. I'm loving my 315P. Next ships on my list are the Defender, 600i, Spirit and my dream ship, the MISC Odyssey.

Finally acquired my Defender since it was available as Subscriber Ship of the Month! I managed to get the Harmony Paint during IAE! Now just hoping to track down the Platinum Paint for it especially if it may be buyable during the upcoming Alien Week...

Awesome video dude!!! The Defender is one of my top solo flying around ship and I love the whole feel and look of it and can't wait until I have my BMM to land it in and go for some wild adventures in the verse. I've always loved the 300 series and had a 315 before upgrading it to the 400 but it was a fantastic ship for sure.

Defender is one of the sexyest ship in-game, the craftmanship, both visual and the sound design, are astounding. I don't know if it's underrated though, I feel it's pretty popular, maybe I'm mistaken. Of the whole list, my go-to is the 315P. Cargo, firepower, accomodation and a freaking Tractor Beam al that in a small, nimble and sleek profile? What is that, a Nubian Smuggler? Great video as always, and as always after watching it, gotta go play SC!

Another well-considered list, though I was surprised to see the Redeemer on it, until you explained why. I've also used the Redeemer solo with great success at JT and Xenothreat, and its functional fridge is a welcome bonus!

Terrapin. Stealthy, tanks. Range. Interior. And while it only has 2 gimbaled size 2 guns, their capacity pool is very large so you can spray lasers for quite a while.

i agree with you the Banu Defender is a great ship.

the nomad and Vanguard are two of my favourites so far and the 300i is my pledge

I love the format you use for these videos!

I feel the C8X medical is missing from this top five. It has everything we need, interior, 4scu storage, médical bed T3 so you don't need food or drinks anymore, a sit for a 3rd passenger, and the best thing with this ship is it's a snub fighter meaning you can retrieve it on every véhicule pad disseminated on every planete. But yeah maybe this ship is not really underrated so it is not in this list :)

I agree, love the defender!

You overlooked the thing that truly sets the Defender apart from the rest... That sweet ass green qt animation! It handily dunks on the standard qt and the red one from the other alien ships and is unique to the Defender, at least until the BMM makes its way into the game.

Happy to see the 315 get some love here. Speedy, maneuverable, surprising cargo space. Only wish I could swap the tractor for another gun while the tractor is still unused. Thanks for the video!

Drake Buccaneer. Its pretty much my daily driver, and I love it. Small and nimble, I run it with 2 size 3 laser cannons, 2 size 1 ballistic cannons, and a size 4 AD4B gatling on the back. It can dish out serious damage in short bursts, perfect for bounties, with a quick reload at a station afterward.

Cutty Red. Heals you up, fights well (Hardier than the popular medical Pisces), bwewwooo flashies, hauls a snug fit Roc, more dependable bedlog than most, and lets you play rescue team.

I was so lucky that I was able to buy my redeemer for 140 bucks!! I love that dang thing!

Great Video. I never considered the Banu before. I’ll give it another look. I completely agree about the redeemer. It makes a great solo ship. Way more powerful with a crew but even solo it’s plenty strong enough. The only down side is that you need a little bit of a cash cushion if you want to take the Deemer out for non-money making activities. She’s expensive to run. You’ll spend 1000’s for fuel and repairs every time you take her joy riding. Compare to a Pisces where you’ll spend less than 100 for the same joy ride.

Interesting video. IMO Taurus is often over shadowed by other options that have more DPS. In My Org we had Andromeda's & Corsair's for general purpose ships and we all switched to Taurus instead. Way more cargo capacity (that includes being able to load more vehicles too) & that tractor beam turret felt like the Taurus really is a must have for an org. It's so versatile and keeps a good pilot DPS with 4x S4 and S2 missiles. I also agree with you that the Banu Defender is often under looked. I own this ship and to me the best thing with her is that it's DPS is pretty decent for protection purposes with 4 x s3 fixed. Moreover, it can really act as a complementary escort with its huge 3000L QT tank that not many fighter ships can match. I feel people really undervalue the fact it has so much range and I bet that will be really usefull for Pyro.

Personally I really loved my Mustang Beta for its compact living quarters. Sure, it came at the cost of the cargo crate (which doesn’t make much sense but whatev), but the ship became a very handy little run-around for meeting up with friends without screwing up all my ships in storage where I want them

I have a defender cuz I picked up the BMM I did try it out it is pretty fun ship to use but for 220$ think it’s a little much to get on it own but definitely something to pick up in game

I spent an extra $15 to upgrade my starter ship to a Reliant Kore and absolutely love it. It too has a great flight model, has great dps and is good for running bunkers

Nice, thank you!🪐

350R is mine, it has the speed to keep you alive and out run any threat.

yeah banu has become one of my favourites after i put off trying it because of the wierd off centre view and i just recently got a 315p to try mainly as a run around or a ship to move some gear with the good stowage size. if by underrated you mean you dont see them much coz no one rates them then that would be a bout right i rarely see these ships see a few connies but never really notice if theyre a taurus or not. I might try taurus after 3.18 drops as my plan is to try all the ships i didnt try this time around. will have to check out the redeemer again i only flew it a little in the free fly IAE i think. and yeah i think the alpha would be a great starter ship and easily do bounties until you can afford something better and with the new cargo space can now do box missions etc. I would def reccomend and its soooooooo cheap in game. love these take 5's

I do so love the 315p, Its usually the first ship I buy coming off a full Wipe... And the Banu MAY BE my absolute favorite fighter in the game, as far as Med/Light fighters... Mosly for the Range and protection, the handling you get...Its just an all around bad ass ship in every aspect.

I love the Taurus. It is my go to ship for hauling. I have the MSR and the Herc, but the Herc loves to tip over and the MSR does not hold as much cargo.

I 100 percent agree with this list. These are great ships, and the Defender is amazing.

Drake cutlass black is a perfect daily. But I'm really loving the cutter lately as long as I don't need firepower power.

i LOVE the redeemer, especially when im a turret gunner, very easy with bounties

Defender is definitely one I need to try more.

if only the mustangs wing didn't fall off at a slightly violent sneeze. I'd love those little ships if it wasn't for the paper wings.

Got the 315 P and upgraded my Drake Cutter with LTI to the Taurus. It was a big leap for me. Plus Dat Insurance boi. Damn if your not gonna cause me to go and spend way to much on the Redeemer. Why? Cause what you had to say about it on Loud Guns site. Darn you Mr. Deum... Ah me. I guess I can always tell myself I am supporting the game.

100 Series is underrated Af

I bought the 315p as starter, and i am not regretting it at all, i just hope the tractor beam will be somewhat usefull.

I find myself flying the 85x a lot. It's just a blast to fly, it fits in a carrack and you can bring a friend

Looks like the comments agree, the Defender is a great ship. I daily mine for combat and delivery missions when I'm not in my MSR running cargo

I agree with your list. But I'd replace the Alpha with the Beta.

Less goo I've got a pledge Taurus and 315p

Hoplite. I have yet to see anybody look at the ship correctly. It is a heavy fighter that doubles as a crew transport when not in combat. Why bother having a Vanguard Warden and a MPUV Personal when a Hoplite can do both?

YES! The 315p is super unsung. I use for delivery and med rescue, when I'm tired of that they are ok for small bounty missions. #315gang

Great review! For me the most underrated ship in the verse is the Terrapin. It will really shine when pathfinding comes into play. It is a platform that is perfect for more variants. I do realize it is expensive for its size, but it is an amazing ship. #TurtlePowerBIS2953

All of them are SOLID choices!

CUTTER, HANDS DOWN

I love the 300 series. I'm a fan of the 325a over the 315p but they're all beautiful. If you would rather run from a fight, the 315p is definitely superior. Now that the Mustang Alpha has the cargo box, I actually think it's far superior to the Aurora. At this point the only thing the Auroa has is nostalgia.

That the Nomad isn't one is 🤯

Can we get a special mention for the Reliant Tana. There are ZERO ships in the 70$ range which offer everything that ship has. Unique flight mechanics, co pilot seat with twin x4 turrets for the co pilot (turrets that can even shoot backwards with a full 270 degree firing arch) over 20 missiles, modular wing tips, a bathroom, two log out beds, weapon locker.... I still don't understand why the Titan is recommended over the Tana (aside from being a limited availability ship) Also: The defender shield is no longer unique as of 3.17.2 and beyond.

I dont think anyone underestimates the Taurus doe

Remember shields with 100% ballistic protection is possibly no longer going to be a thing (unfortunately).

the redeemer is bad ass...

My go to batman utility ship NOMAD its get poop for its grav land gear I dont know why. I do everything in this space camper pickup truck

Anyone know the name of the ship at the very start. Can’t seem to recognize it, nothin clickin

Carrack is my daily flyer

The Taurus is underrated? Since when? It is one of the highest regarded ships in the game.

Bravo!

When I play their is a lot of redemeer… I m one of the few who run my freelancer

I'll pass on the Defender until it gets a bathroom and kitchenette

I though the redeemer just drove like a pile of brick which make it hard to solo kill anything

Deemer underappreciated? Strong solo ship? Reckon a solo Connie with s5 lasers tumps a solo Deemer. I’ll get a Defender when CIG gibs the BMM.

i like the video but there are a lot of kind of annoying audio cuts

The Taurus isnt underated what the heck. It's the single most versatile ship in the game and by far the best constellation in the lineup for solo players.

Mexico or Arizona? Arizona dude....

Underrated? The Taurus? The Redeemer? The Defender? Bro do you even play the same game? These are widely popular ships!

'Underrated' ships........ shows redeemer

Most underrated ship being the redeemer? your kidding right? Have you been paying attention to this games development? at all? It was a winning ship from next great star ship and was very much a ship a massive portion of the player base looked forward to its release... and now with its release its easily one of the most popular multi crew ships. You do know the definition of underrated right? 315 being a good ship? have you played SC before? sure if the tractor beam was functional then neat... but its so useless.

Redeemer underrated? LMAO hell no it's not.

"underrated" Comeon, clickbait much? Taurus is not underrated, redeemer is not underrated. 315 is most useless of the 300 series currently. Mustang alpha is rightfully ignored. Provides nothing of value over even an aurora. Same DPS as the aurora. Insignificant cargo increase over aurora. Slightly better in atmo, but slower in space. No bed compared to aurora. You are simply overrating it IMHO, and #2, LOL. Defender is decent, but way overpriced. I saved $5 by melting my defender in 2020 and purchasing the Corsair. Alien tax on defender is ridiculous. In fact, my Tana has more DPS using stock hardpoints with matching repeaters on both ships, 584dps with repeaters for the defender, 590dps for the tana with its stock hardpoints with repeaters. Switch to s3 fixed on the defender gets you up to a whopping 611dps with repeaters while the tana can go with the toshima turrets and have gimbaled 662dps. In no way is the defender better than even a Tana which is 1/3 the price. Also the tana has 2 beds. tana has bathroom. Tana has kitchen. Tana has weapon rack. Tana has 1 SCU. Tana has 20 s2 missiles stock vs the 4x w2 on the defender. If you look at the maneuvering stats, the tana is faster than defender as well. The only plus for the defender is the shield being a s2 vs 2x s1. No idea how you can say the defender is underrated. Putting it at #1 is ridiculously overrating it. Sorry. I did absolutely love the front entrance of the Defender though. Walking up to it was straight out of a 80s/90s scifi movie.

redeemer underrated? you must be living behind the moon
