Had the pleasure of being crew on a couple of these, always a treat.

[oneill]

Thank you! Was locking for this exact comparison

For me, it will be the A2. I don't run a lot of cargo and just want a safe all-rounder. Also, I can use the bombs every time the bunker turrets think I'm not friendly again (they will learn about my peaceful ways by force!^^). Not gone use them on JT because I'm not a dick.

I was Kindly gifted a few million to buy one the other day, I love the C2 and I've upgraded its quantum and engines, now i can earn loads of money by cargo hauling

[Gaza]

M2 for me! I like the stock military components the C2 feels slow in QT by comparison. Obviously you can upgrade QT on C2 but I also like the 3rd crew member spot.

THUMBNAIL got me !!
As a M2 daily driver, the back/red pinstripe caught my 👁 👁
Never seen that option before - guessing it’s hidden behind concierge

[thefaithfulcraftsman]

Your videos are very well thought out and jam packed with useful easy to understand information, great job! I'd like to see you do a breakdown on the different racing ships since there are 5 new dedicated race tracks and game play for them coming in 3.18.

[yegak]

The M2 for me. But only from a RP standpoint. I want it for military transport and even though the C2 can technically do the same, it feels “improper“ to use a civilian ship as military transport. Again, just an RP thing :D

[Yeet_Sir]

I'm part of odyssey interstellar. Nice video man! I got both a C2 and A2, both with LTI ;)

[Jeremy_Walker]

Fun abstract knowledge. The real world version of the MOAB, while also called Mother Of All Bombs is officially Mass Ordinance Arial Burst.

[bnut]

I have both the C2 and M2. The C2 is currently my daily driver. The M2, when armor is a thing, I will use it to haul higher value cargo. The armor, extra ship guns, and space for combat troops/armory on board will make it a tougher nut to crack for pirates.

[sheldonbromen]

I really want the a2 as it's a Jack of all trades master of none ship that's a total beast

[jordancollins]

As a dedicated A2 pilot, best feeling when your friends need a bomb on target for support on ground missions, heheheh Colossus go BANG! 🤣

[mateomarangelli]

The M2 might have more value once Pyro comes out, being able to carry alot of cargo, and having an extra turret might help a bit

[lostree]

Great informative video. Just one thing I'd reccommend:
Whenever there's a break in the recording, take another drink of water. Then, adjusting your microphone so that it's away at an angle from your mouth will ensure that the sounds of your lips smacking or other saliva-related sounds won't be as loud.

[Xaxxus]

this is a tough one for me, I want to get a cargo hauler (as I dont have one atm, unless you count the carrak), but the bombs on the A2 are just so enticing.

[Avallachgrey]

I grabbed the C2 as I'm a space trucker.

[LoneWolf]

So basically, we deserve to reward ourselves with all three, and keep the caterpillar pirate edition for flex, logistical adaptation (I do weird stuff, I'm a strange example of something very exact) and fanboy purposes (I'm a drake boy)

[durtyred]

I've spent literally years grooming my A2 ccu chain... The end result was a $350 A2 Hercules. Why did I do it? Well, outside of REALLY wanting the ship, my theory crafting got the better of me with the A2 and it dawned on me how powerful this ship will be.

Heavy armor, double s3 shields and a plethora of turrets. This ship is one of the only combat ships that can go to war at the beginning of your game session, run supplies and relief afterwards, handle some cargo for quick cash and close with hauling some vehicles across the system. What I'm trying to say is, it's VERY flexible. It's not locked to combat. And 200ish scu of space allows it to be a brinks truck hauling high value cargo. That's why I did it.. $700 "now $750" was pretty high but I made it work at a much lower price. I love the A2 and look forward to bombing missions and support roles with this ship.

[SamTeil]

To be nerfed all, like with other ships. You pay full price, but then you get no money back after a nerf

[UnknownMoses]

I am confused, if the C2 and M2 both have the same carrying capacity for vehicles, and are the same size, how does the C2 fit so much more cargo?
