Even Lee reviews the rare Consolidated Outland Mustang Omega, highlighting its exceptional maneuverability, short claim time, and limited combat capabilities, making it a unique and collectible racing ship in Star Citizen. Despite its modest speed and fuel capacity, the ship’s handling and rarity earn it a strong rating of 90 out of 100, appealing to both racers and collectors.
In this video, Even Lee presents a detailed review of the Consolidated Outland Mustang Omega, a rare and limited edition racing ship in Star Citizen. The Mustang Omega was originally offered in 2016 as part of AMD’s Never Settle Space Edition promotion, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item since it is currently unobtainable through normal gameplay. Even Lee thanks Zero Grab for lending the ship for this review and notes that the ship is primarily designed for racing, which limits its versatility compared to other ships.
The Mustang Omega features a 7 minute and 16 second standard claim time, which can be expedited to 2 minutes and 25 seconds, a notably short duration that the reviewer appreciates. It is armed with two size one CF-117 Bulldog guns capable of 438 burst damage per second, but has no other weapon hardpoints, emphasizing its racing purpose rather than combat. The ship includes two size one competition-grade B shield generators providing 2,740 bubble shield capacity and has a total of 8,931 ship HP, though its multiple wings make it somewhat fragile in combat or crash scenarios.
Performance-wise, the Mustang Omega excels in maneuverability rather than outright speed. It boasts a top speed of 244 SCM with a 533 forward boost and 273 backward boost, but its standout feature is its exceptional pitch and roll rates, which allow it to navigate tight corners more effectively than many other racing ships. The ship also carries a surprising amount of defensive countermeasures, including 48 flares and five decoys, which is impressive for a racing variant. Fuel capacity is modest, with 6 SCU of hydrogen and 1.1 SCU of quantum fuel, balancing weight and agility for racing efficiency.
Even Lee takes the Mustang Omega for a test flight at the Garden on Daymar, showcasing its cockpit view, storage capabilities, and handling characteristics. The cockpit offers excellent visibility, crucial for racing, while the ship’s acceleration and maneuverability make it competitive on tight racetracks. Despite not being an experienced racer, the reviewer highlights how the ship’s handling and boost capabilities provide an edge in races, though he admits to struggling with the racing itself. The ship’s rarity and unique history add to its appeal as a collectible and a fun ship to own.
In conclusion, Even Lee rates the Mustang Omega a solid 90 out of 100, praising its maneuverability, acceleration, and rarity. He notes that while the ship’s speed and fuel capacity may limit its practical racing use, it remains an excellent choice for collectors and fans of unique Star Citizen ships. The video ends with a call to viewers to share their thoughts in the comments and to join the reviewer’s Discord community, where giveaways and events are regularly held, including a current giveaway for the alien Blade ship. Overall, the Mustang Omega is celebrated as a distinctive and enjoyable racing ship with a rich backstory.
