Still remember earning my Pirate Swarm badge in your Hurricane turret!

Scorpius is the new hotness but the Hurricane is a flying tank, i love it

[novalis]

Before Master Modes I really loved flying the Hurricane with a friend; maxing the shield and using ballistic size 4s. The current patch has been tough for both ships to survive in PVP. Thanks for the worthy review

Listening to this breakdown i see the main roles for each fighter as such, the Scorpius is a Combat Area Patrol (CAP) heavy fighter and will do well to repel enemy fighters that get too close to the friendly capital ships. The Hurricane is more an attack craft better to range out and strike big targets.
Gktta use your tools effectively!

You were my first SC youtuber I watched, glad your putting out more content! Keep it up!

The Scorpius turret is inferior to the Hurricane. Manned turrets give much more options. You can actually tell what you’re shooting at because MFDs. You can zoom in, a lot. 3rd person. This means keeping an eye out for the pilot between engagements. You don’t get kicked out of the turret for accidentally pressing F.

No comment about the video in particular, but just wanted to say I'm glad you're back. I go away from sc pretty often but you're vids are some of the ones I always look for when I come back.

Ultimately I'm more a fan of the Scorpius (because Star Wars). It's also just more pleasing to my sense of style than the Hurricane. As far as fighter status: I think they both have their unique strengths and weaknesses that will likely be fleshed out more as CIG continues balancing ships and weapons.

Great video, and thanks for pointing out a few things I hadn't considered about either ship!

Hurricane is the more effective of the two in ship to ship combat by some margin. It’s harder to hit, less fragile and dishes it out just as hard. Meanwhile, the Scorpius is more versatile as it sets the pilot and gunner up for some ground ops. The cost of versatility is it’s much more fragile. If you want the ship solely for ship to ship combat then the Hurricane is the sole option.
I have a Scorpius.

Scorp definitely has advantages when it comes to size and being carried by a carrier(Idris can deploy a lot of scorps a lot easier than hurricanes) and its definitely really sleek in design. But as both pilot and gunner, i prefer the Hurricane. Those big size 4's are really great and having MFD's as a gunner to see target and ship info is invaluable to me. Plus im a sucker for anything made by Anvil i wont lie about my bias😂😂

I wouldve liked to see how they compared to the gladiator, just as another turreted fighter, even if its a medium.

Great overview for two awesome ships! I've been trying to decide on a fighter to dedicate myself to and I keep coming back to the Scorpius. Knowing a friend who pledged a Polaris (and the Q&A for the Scorpius saying it's designed to fit in one), makes it really tempting...

[iwuanadie]

scorpius looks better, so that's an insta win for me. on a side note, avenger__one ranked it like 2 tiers higher than the hurricane, so

[ChristianSamsel]

I feel a bit torn about calling the hurricane a heavy fighter. Especially compared to Vanguards or Ares.

[parkerxgps]

Really want to like the Scorp more. Two mfd's though? Are we moving away from them?

Nice to have ships in game to compare.

[asog]

Me over here waiting for you to compare light fighters now that MM is a thing

[clickbaker]

Scorp has some (IMO) bad design choices, which I'm sure are due mostly for balancing issues. Wings seem too big, and having guns on the wingtips instead of the shoulders seems impractical, especially since the wings are so easily shot off. Besides those things though, I really like its design.

[Tentacl]

Star citizen needs gun convergence or guns this far apart in the wings become a real issue.
