If CIG came up with a combat-focused 425a with a better cargo hold to compete with the Corsair, they would have a new money printing machine. It would be the Mass Effect Normandy of Star Citizen.

400i was robbed from its original strengths when the Connies and the Corsair were buffed from 2 s2s to 1 S3 shield. Especially when the shield and speed was the excuse used for it to have 2 s4 weapons and worse turreting. Master modes has further caused issues by nerfing said speed by capping it down to 1k m/s from its original 1250 m/s. Further issues include the design idea behind the cargo bay which cut its cargo carrying cap in half because of the elevator struts as well as having an extra escape pod that wasn't removed after the ship was changed from a 4 person ship down to a 3 person ship.

It breaks my heart because I love the 400i and CIG just dumped on the thing because "origin bad"

My dude, you're going to out pace Boredgamer at this upload rate!!

I just bought the Corsair and I love the Drake "Matrix" moviestyle ships!

I love the 400i and I use mine to travel from A to B. I figure when the game has more systems, I want to take the time (beyond the regular activities I enjoy) to just go and visit places. The 400i lets me feel like I'm on tour, I love the luxury feel and attention to detail.

Wow, I actually just searched for 400i vs Corsair, as I am considering one of the two and wanted to see other's thoughts on the two. Great timing! Been enjoying your other videos, too!

A video to finish off a sixteen hour shift. Thanks Law!!

The doors!! After loving my Corsair I melted back to 400i. In and out are very important to me.

[prestiboi]

i don't need to choose. i got em both and i love it.

[ShadowOfMachines]

One of the dumbest reasons I like the 400i is the front door. I love the drop down stairs, and I missed having that on my Freelancer. It's definitely one of the ships I want to get.

The 400i is my captain's yacht. It's gorgeous! Thx for this great video.

My personal favorite thing with the corsair is the running lights. They're like floodlights and are great on dark terrain. The fact that I can turn them on and off as well as set to auto is fantastic. The utility it affords you for whatever you want to do makes it hard to try and fly the other ships in its class as a daily driver I think.

[Nemoticon]

On paper, the Corsair beats the pants off the 400i in every aspect. But in reality, I ALWAYS find my self flying the 400i, it does everything I need it to and does it well. By comparison, I struggle to enjoy flying the Corsair! I HATE it's huge, lopsided wings, it's stubby landing gear and for some reason I'm not a fan of it's interior, in spite of loving the interiors of all other Dakes. Both great ships, it's all down to personal preferences, no doubt others will have the polar opposite opinion to me and that's cool, imo. SC does this so well!

[SlimMech]

I love my corsair, but the 400i looks so good. I love that they are on such opposite ends of the style spectrum.

[MagnustheRad]

400i is an exploration vessel that dabbles in combat.
The constellation is a mix and the Corsair is a combat ship that dabbles in exploration.

[DismayingHades]

on the way home from work and got this videos notification was like "LETS GOO!"

[AgentXRifle]

400i all day everyday, although it needs a gun upgrade, roof access and maybe some variants (425a, 415p, 450r)
I absolutely love exploring the verse in my 400i, bringing my X1 force and a ground vehicle (STV, Cyclone) and being able to go anywhere!

Corsair is great for raiding ships cargo bays in space… a good thing for that, but in atmosphere it handles like dog **** and can’t land easily on uneven terrain.

[asog]

I love the 400i. Sure MM has made the idea of running away while shooting behind. I’m just hope they make a lot more ships with quantum dampeners. I know it sucks to have a slow ship in those situations, but some speeding up up turrets and it being more often difficult to run nav mode away from a fight means ships like this will shine more and just crewing turrets in these fins will be more important

[JClif]

Awesome video! Great quality and explanations. I love both ships for several reasons you mentioned. Its so hard just to pick one. Looking forward to your other videos.

[Ryecrash]

Great video. I love the looks of the 400i but cannot justify the price tag.
