The MISC Hull-C is a heavy freighter in Star Citizen with a large cargo capacity and strong durability, ideal for players focused on large-scale trading despite some technical issues and handling challenges. While it has useful defensive features and spacious interiors, bugs and design limitations affect its efficiency, but overall it remains a valuable and strategic asset for profitable cargo transport.
The video is a detailed review of the MISC Hull-C, a heavy freighter ship in Star Citizen, presented by Even Lee. The Hull-C is designed primarily for large cargo transport, capable of moving significant amounts of goods between locations to generate in-game profit. Priced at $500 in the pledge store or 15,710,625 AUC in-game, the ship offers a substantial cargo capacity of 468 SCU, making it a valuable asset for players focused on trading and hauling. However, the ship has some technical issues, such as occasional problems with docking and automatic cargo loading, which have been improving over recent patches.
In terms of defense, the Hull-C is equipped with front-mounted guns controlled by the pilot and two remote turrets managed by the co-pilot. However, the co-pilot can only operate one turret at a time, and switching between turrets is cumbersome due to keybind issues, making it difficult to effectively defend the ship. The ship also features four size 3 shield generators, though currently only two are functional due to a bug, resulting in a reduced shield capacity of 90,000 quadrants instead of the expected 180,000. Despite this, the Hull-C has a robust armor rating and a total ship HP of 325,500, ensuring it can withstand considerable damage.
The Hull-C is a large and slow vessel, with a maximum speed of 110 SCM and a forward boost of 290, making it vulnerable to attacks and ill-suited for atmospheric flight, especially when loaded with cargo. The ship carries a large amount of hydrogen fuel (877 SCU) and a smaller amount of quantum fuel (8.6 SCU), allowing for extended travel between systems. The reviewer advises caution when navigating the ship in heavy atmospheres, as previous attempts have resulted in crashes due to the ship’s handling characteristics.
The interior of the Hull-C is spacious and functional, featuring multiple crew areas including a cockpit with three seats (pilot, co-pilot, and captain), living quarters with a kitchen and beds, and a storage area with lockers and a bathroom. There are also four escape pods and multiple EVA access points. The engineering section houses key components like power plants, coolers, shield generators, and the quantum drive, though some features such as the engineering terminal are currently missing due to bugs. Tractor beam controls are limited to a single operator seat, which restricts efficiency in cargo handling.
Overall, the MISC Hull-C is praised as a solid heavy freighter with great cargo capacity and potential for future improvements. Despite some bugs and design quirks, it remains a top choice for players seeking to engage in large-scale cargo transport. The reviewer rates the ship 79 out of 100, highlighting its value for making money in the game but warning players to be strategic in their routes to avoid pirate attacks. The video concludes with a recommendation to support veteran-owned businesses like Longship Industries for PC builds, tying in a personal endorsement from the reviewer.
