17) Star Citizen- Hull A review

Hull A:



The smallest and most affordable ship in the Hull series. The Hull A is a single seater dedicated to the personal transportation of cargo. The cargo capacity is 48, not considerably huge but decent for those interested in a career as a merchant and for those starting out. The manouverability and speed will most likely be quite poor but what can be expected from a hauler. The standalone price is $60 which is a fair amount and fairly affordable along with the aurora and mustang. The Hull A is usually compared with the Freelancer due to the similar size and role however,I believe the Freelancer is more suited to armoured transport whereas the Hull would need an escort in dangerous areas: the 2 S1 gimbals won't put up much of a fight...

16) Star Citizen- Mustang Omega review

Mustang Omega:


Another racer from Consolidated Outland, the Mustang Omega. This variant is pretty similar to the Gamma however features better fuel intake and a special paint job designed by Sektor8 (Banksy of the future). This variant will also have it's own power plant specifically for the boosters for that added power over the Gamma. To be honest though they are pretty similar and i personally don't really see the point. (I don't really care for racers anyway). However, if you do then note the speed limit is 270 which is lower than the m50 and 350r and the same as the gamma. It could most likely beat the gamma in a race with it's superior acceleration but there would not be much difference. Nice design though...

15) Star Citizen- Mustang Gamma review

Mustang Gamma:


From Consolidated Outland comes another mustang variant, this time a racer. It has the general structure of the others but is fitted with 3 Magma jet engines for that additional power. It has an s2 powerplant which can be upgraded to s3 to handle the engines. It's not the fastest racer being 10 m/s slower than the m50 but it seems to me that the boost can survive longer distances.
The Gamma is in fact the fastest Mustang variant, however it lacks cargo and firepower. It's not bad in races to be honest but racers are mostly down to personal choice.

14) Star Citizen- Mustang Delta review

Mustang Delta:



The Delta is the Mustang fighting variant. This variant features an upgraded hull reinforced with Consolidated Outland's Cavalry Class Mass Reduction Armour and slightly better guns. The sides are equipped with 2* size 2 badger fixed mounts and there are 2* pylons in the rocket pod. The size 2 shield makes ample difference to the durabilty of this ship (close to nothing) and might as well not be used because the mustangs don't take much to damage. The best strategy to come out on top in a gunfight is to use the manouverability to evade shots and torpedos but the high succeptability to g-force will result in you being unconcious for most of the fight. Have fun with that... To be honest I would go with the avenger for dogfighting because not only is it cheaper, the hardpoints are also an improvement.
