“In this video, I review the Star Citizen heavy freight cargo hauler ship, the MISC Hull C, including a tour as well as detailed ship review. I include gameplay footage of the MISC Hull C in 4K at 60FPS (or as close as I could get). The game”
The MISC Hull C is a heavy freight ship in Star Citizen with an unmatched cargo capacity that exceeds anything else currently available. However, there is more to this ship than just its cargo hauling capabilities. This video review delves into the ship’s in-game performance, providing a ship tour, assessing combat performance, reviewing handling and visibility, looking at operating costs and profitability, and summarizing the overall experience.
The ship tour starts with the docking port, leading to an airlocked area with access to suit storage and a weapons rack. The bridge features three chairs for the pilot, co-pilot, and captain. The ship also includes living quarters, a food preparation area, utility room, cargo operations room, escape pods, and an engineering section. The ship’s combat performance is limited, with difficult-to-aim weapons and a focus on defensive capabilities. Visibility is typical for a MISC ship, with limited view above and below, but not a significant issue due to the ship’s slow speed.
Handling feels heavy, especially on planetary surfaces, but the ship has a top speed of 900 m/s out of atmosphere. The ship’s length changes depending on whether the central spindle is deployed, affecting landing capabilities. The stock Quantum Drive is not great and may need upgrading for long-distance travel. Operating costs for rearming, refueling, and repairs are reasonable, but filling the cargo bay with cargo can be expensive, costing millions of alpha UEC.
Cargo trading is the main gameplay loop for the Hull C, with immense cargo capacity, but limited options for docking and loading/unloading. The ship’s limitations and long timers for cargo operations make smaller cargo haulers like the Hercules more efficient at making money. While the gameplay can feel cumbersome at times, it provides a relaxing and potentially profitable experience for those looking for a more laid-back approach. The ship’s price has increased significantly from $200 to $500, which may not be justifiable considering the current gameplay limitations.
Overall, the MISC Hull C has great potential as a cargo hauler, but the gameplay mechanics have yet to fully catch up with that potential. The ship is expensive, and the experience can be hindered by bugs, timers, and limited docking options. However, when everything works smoothly, running large-scale cargo can be an enjoyable and profitable experience. The verdict ultimately depends on individual preferences and how much was paid for the ship.
