I love my C1; it's the only ship I own for real money and it does almost everything I could want from a daily driver. My only complaint is the landing pads it gets assigned, but it looks like that'll be solved in 3.24 with the new hangars

Thank you for coming back Law! You are my favourite SC YouTuber especially for how your videos feel like you are talking about a real thing rather than a video game. Hope everything is going well and you can continue to upload regularly ;)

I enjoy the attention to detail while staying nice and concise; much appreciated!

Speaking of seating. I was in my friend's Caterpillar just standing on the bridge, when he decided to accelerate. My character slipped and dropped on the stairs, probably breaking his neck because it was instant respawn screen. 🎉

Thought I already fed the algorithm with a comment but here is another! I'm a big fan of the Spirit series for the aesthetics and sleekness but I also like the down-and-dirty Drake look. If I had to choose between the Cutlass Black and Spirit C1, I'd take both! 😃

I choose the C1 Spirit as it has VTOL engines separate from the main thrusters. Can do some great combat maneuvers and still keep the forward speed going. Plus the engines are more protected than the Cutlass are. C1 is a great ship for upcoming cargo 3.24 as you can call up two 32 scu, sit in the cockpit that can be locked and move the two boxes into the ship without worry of being jumped in the seat. Could even use the box to "crush" any would be thief's too :) Right now she is my ROC hauler and does a great job at it ! Add the Cyclone for bunker running and maybe future box deliveries into the DCs . Good all around ships to start out in

C1 currently has over double the hull health. Those cutlass engines like running away in a multi ship fight.

Nice balanced comparison. I had upgraded my Cutty to a C1 but it didn't take long to buy a Cutty back again. It's just objectively better for ground missions and ROC mining.
And if you have bigger ships then C1 looses it's raison d'etre. I like the sleekness and style but it's interior is just a little too clinical to be home.
The Cutty still earns it hangar place even with access to the next level such as Corsair's and Connie's. The C1 is a stepping stone to these.
But if they made it fly as fast as it looks then it would make a nice nice blockade runner/smuggler.

I used to say Cutty B, but I have a C1 on load until the Zeus CL arrives. I'm really growing fond of it. I miss the Cutty's really functional side doors. but for cargo and flying joy I like the C1

[sirnukealot]

Nice to hear your voice again! I got both the cutty and c1 and I like both ships equally even though the cutlass black is better armed.

[djweird]

cutty with full ballistics and rattlers(x24) for missiles is game changing.

[gveGaming]

Went from Cutlass to C1 and I am absolutely in love with the spirit.

[KesinX]

I’ve had both, and I prefer the C1, but I do miss the black’s weapons. What I don’t miss is how crippled it gets losing one of those massive engines. The C1 can survive losing a wing with far more grace.

[MockZaylin]

I saw the C1 and immediately thought of the Normandy from Mass Effect, so it should be an easy guess which I went with lol

[drunit]

I love the C1 but the only problem with it is like its big brother, it basically has a big ol sign above it that says "look at me, im hauling cargo". I have both and love them both but fly the cutty b more, mostly because of the side door access.

[blomsky]

Very good comparision - thank you!
I really tried hard to like the C1 better than the Cuttie but I just cannot, mostly beacuse of 2 things that did not make it into this video:
The C1 - like all Crusader ships - is much too wide for my taste. Second is the just 2 MFDs for the pilot.

[supraturtle]

C1 was designed for a detailed space sim. Cutty exists for an FPS game. SC is favoring shooter but still not divorced from space sim. C1 is my favorite ship. But the cutty is more useful in the current state of the game.

[Ryecrash]

I flew a Cutty Black for years as my sole ship and although I still fly it, I love the looks of the Spirit C1 a lot more.

[bloodybob]

Cutty B always. it is one of shortest and narrow med multi crew ships that can still get a Roc to fit and get into smaller caves than other ships of the same class.

[RayneAngelus]

I've done enough direct ship purchasing for SC that the C1 doesn't interest me (Freelancer DUR, MSR, and Herc M2), but I definitely see how it fits in this grouping. The Freelancer is smack in the middle between hauler utility and combat potential, flanked by the C1 and Cutlass. I'd also argue that the MSR is the next-tier combination of all 3, though the Freelancer MAX, Connie-T, Zeus CL, and Argo RAFT share that space as well, each with their (sometimes substantial) ups and downs.
