Star Citizen: Pre-Buyers Guide to the Hercules Starlifter

3.13 Is going to include the C2 and M2 Crusader Hercules Starlifters, and today Lead will break down the differences, options, reasons to own each and routes to lock down the price.

Can't lie, I'm really liking the Crusader aesthetic. I don't see anyone talk about it much but these just feel so nice to walk around in.

When I hear "The A2 is too expensive", i think 'He's going to build a habitat and is trying to persuade me not to bomb it"

[Washoii]

Crusader is quickly becoming a crowd favourite.

[ShadowGirl-]

The Hercules will be well loved instantly when it comes out.

[Hyper]

Can’t wait for this ship to come in the verse.

This channel has come along so far and is by far one of my favorites now for great, concise sc content. Thanks for your efforts

[geoduet]

Two more months to see the insides of this beast, can't wait to see how it'll live up to its name

[TheRando]

Going with the M2 for trading with a bit more beef.

[dereksagan]

Once cargo is protected from 30Ks hopefully later this year, I'll be a full time space trucker again. this time in my C2. I don't mind loosing cargo to player attacking me (much) but loosing to a server crash is frustrating and hopefully a distant memory one day. :)

The whole series looks awesome! Great job on the presentation and the differences between the 3. I will def be adding one to my hanger!

[plushiie_]

One day, one day I'll have this. The favorite ship currently.

[brandonstephenson]

Absolutely can’t wait for this ship! The sheer ammount of vehicle stunts and tricks I could pull with this in orbit is gonna be lit! Keep up the great work!

[abritish]

the Crusader Hercules Starlifters looks so

[ourwoodhouse]

I can't watch enough about my soon coming pre-purchased C2, my first vid with you & thanks I definitely subscribed!

[maverick]

I love the look but you’re absolutely right about the A2and it’s price. Why is that one the only black one?! Hopefully they give us skins for it too. A black C2/M2 would be awesome.

[diegomolinaf]

CIG really delivered on this one. I hope the BMM goes the same way.

[IrremeableMach]

Rumors has it, that there is a bit more to the M2. This has all but been confirmed by CIG but it has not been reveled what it is.

[SCTimbal]

Great guide, subscribed.

I went with the C2 for my middle of the road cargo hauler. The reasons why:

- Real Life Dollar / SCU ratio is fantastic for this ship. Something like 55(ish) cents per SCU is pretty ludicrous, For reference in comparison:
Ship Cost SCU Cost Per SCU
Hull C 250 4608 0.05
BMM 450 3584 0.13
Cat 295 576 0.51
C2 360 645 0.56
M2 480 468 1.03
MSR 260 114 2.28

Considering that it'll handle in-atmo flight pretty decently i will really be extremely handy.
- I don't plan on engaging in high or medium threat areas alone.
- The total cost of ownership should be pretty fantastic compared to the other. Maybe only the Cat has it beat here.
- Crew size: 2! Heck if you're willing to risk it it can be even solo'ed. Ask any business owner, the highest cost in any business is the people.

I can’t wait to get my hands on my c2/m2 I just thought the a2 was to expensive for a special case weapon maybe and in game buy

[thedevilsadvocate]
