“Here’s my updated list of best daily drivers in Star Citizen Alpha 3.21”
In this video, the creator discusses the concept of a “daily driver” ship in the game Star Citizen. A daily driver is a ship that is versatile and comfortable to use for various tasks in the game. The creator acknowledges that everyone’s needs may differ, but offers their top picks for daily driver ships.
The Banu Defender is one of the suggested ships for a daily driver. It is a maneuverable light fighter with interior space and crew beds. With its shields and weapons upgraded, it becomes a formidable fighter that can handle any challenge. It also has a large fuel tank, allowing for long-distance travel without refueling.
The Constellation Taurus is another recommended ship. It has a large cargo bay and a tractor beam, making it a great choice for salvaging valuable cargo found on enemy ships. It also has decent firepower and a sizable shield slot. However, its fuel tank is not as large, so it’s better to use a more fuel-efficient quantum drive and sacrifice some speed.
The F8C Lightning is a powerful single-seat fighter that is included in this list despite lacking an internal cabin. It has an impressive amount of firepower and shield HP, making it a strong choice for combat. With its eight weapon slots, it can use a mix of ballistic and energy weapons. While it may require more frequent refilling of ammunition, it has the capability to make quick and efficient trips.
The Origin 400i remains on the list from the previous year. It is a visually appealing ship with a monster-sized shield slot and a decent cargo bay. It excels in everything except combat and is a reliable choice for non-combat-related tasks. Its fuel tank is large enough to equip the fastest quantum drive without the need to refuel frequently.
Finally, the Pisces Rescue, though a snub ship, is included due to its unique features. It has a med bed for healing injuries, a fridge with food and drinks, and speedy maneuverability. It also has a quick claim time and can be claimed from a planetary landing pad. While it lacks in performance, it can serve as a throwaway resource to support players’ needs at their destination.
The creator also mentions some honorable mentions, such as the Drake Corsair and the Gatac Zhulan, which have their own strengths and weaknesses but didn’t make the main list. The video concludes with a celebration of the creator’s one-year anniversary on YouTube and a call to subscribe for more content.
