Finally! I was expecting your review on this ship, man! Keep the great work.

[AIPilot-Boda]

Great job on the video!

I Love this ship and the C2. Decided to upgrade to the C2 due to it being able to carry more cargo.

I feel like the flight characteristics make it fly a lot better than it looks like it would.

One of my fav ships! Melts NPC Hammerheads with both gunners using remote turrets; and is one of the most armored ships (including anti-distortion buff). Hercules ships jet through atmosphere - can get from New Babbage Hangar to Lorville Hangars in 8.5 minutes (using fast quantum drive).

Love these videos, they have saved me so much bother and time; helping me decide what purchases to make and to set in game goals. Always very informative and balanced. The formatting of the videos, with the various sections are essential and always spot on! I feel I must also add, some content creators are hard to understand because they talk too fast or have a strong accent but you're clear and concise. Easy for these old ears 😊

This ship gives me major event horizon vibes, not the titular ship but the _Lewis and Clark_

[MrKarolinger]

Really nice review as expected 🤩👌 thank you for this!

[Lord_Sushinspace]

Nice vid, nice ship, keep up the good work !

Great job, Farrister, as expected. Good ship, good review. And when backing out, use the rear view camera - it helps.

As always, love the review!! I have the M2's little big sister, the C2 and I am loving it fully!!! I sort of look at the Crusader ships like a mix between Origin Jumpworks and RSI style ships, which makes me enjoy them even more since those are my favorite companies in game.

actually flying one, we did some test with ppl of my corp to improve his tankiness = this is a real beast, this is a space tonk haha, and great moments of fun with dropping nova tonks or greycat rocs for new ingame scenarios for a lot of fun. Btw ur format video is nicer now. My next question is : will Crusader Industries release an exploration ship ? like a mix of the mercury and the hercule for another great hype !

Get home from work find Amazon has delivered my new 40k Necrons, a new Farrister video is up to watch while I paint them, and my buddy dropped off a 6 of Guinness. It is going to be a great night!

I really like your videos. It would be cool if you did more of them! I'm always curious to hear people's thoughts and opinions on the development of the game itself and you seem a lot more chill and maybe well balanced than a lot of other very excitable SC content creators.

I do have one m2
It's really good, you have heavy military and a lot of space storage, perfect combo to start.

Great review, after trying out during IAE today, I was sold on this as the superior upgrade to my trust Caterpillar for high performance cargo hauling, with the vehicle on/off ramp I've been needing too. I therefore melted down the Cat and upgraded to the M2, thanks again for the great review.

This was a nice overview of the M2. I thought long & hard about whether to add the C2 or the M2 to my fleet. I decided upon the C2 for a few reasons.
The first is the extra cargo space - the C2 just has more.
The second is crew accommodations. Even thought the C2 only has two crew, it comes with a galley and rec area where the M2 does not. That makes for a cranky M2 flight crew. I realize that's mostly RP immersion, but immersion is a big reason I enjoy Star Citizen. The additional drop-passenger space and armory on the M2 may seem useful, but speaking from experience there are few things more unmanageable than a bunch of grunts or tankers who are hungry and bored and have to share a single toilet. If CIG had made the space for just six military passengers (enough for two Nova Tank crews), shrunk the armory a bit, then added a small galley, I'd have found the M2 much more compelling.
The third reason is price. Both the C2 and the M2 are expensive ships to purchase. There really isn't anything that justifies the price gap between the two. I may be proven short-sighted when ship armor advances from myth to reality, but by then I'll probably have saved enough to add an M2 to my fleet.

As melhores e mais detalhas reviews de naves do star citizen. Parabéns pelo trabalho.

[Geevexs]

Really beautiful ship. Bad thing that it probably takes me a decade to get it at its current price

[snaggletoof]

Heck of a ship. I can imagine how nerve racking it must be to park/land.

[Emmog]

Yaaas I get so excited to see your videos come up now! From your last one, I did end up investing in the Corsair when I learned how great chaining CCUs is

Also you mentioned you only bought 3 ships, out of interest, what are the other two?

[goatking]

another great video😃 The M2 is a good ship. My friend has one and he used it to transport a full load of the little gray cats lol
