“In this video, we go over what the fast ship in Star Citizen would be, to use as your runaround ship to get you where you need to be.”
In this video, the narrator discusses the fastest ship in Star Citizen to quickly traverse the game’s system. They explore two scenarios: one where the ship is already claimed at the player’s location and another where the ship needs to be claimed before starting the journey. The narrator compares different ships based on their Quantum Drive top speed and fuel efficiency.
For the first scenario, where the ship is already claimed, the vk-00 Quantum Drive is determined to be the fastest based on its top speed. However, it has poor acceleration. The XL1 Quantum Drive offers a significantly faster acceleration and takes only 4 minutes and 29 seconds to travel from one location to another, compared to the vk-00’s 6 minutes and 9 seconds. Any ship that can fit an XL1 Drive, such as the constellation series, Cutlass series, or freelancer series, would be suitable for this purpose.
In the second scenario, where the ship needs to be claimed first, the Miss Colley with the vk-00 Drive claims the fastest, taking 1 minute and 48 seconds. The Argo raft with an XL1 Drive has the second fastest claim time at 2 minutes. The Cutlass black also has a relatively quick claim time of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Considering claim and travel times, the Argo raft with an XL1 Drive is identified as the absolute fastest ship to travel within the Stanton system.
However, it is important to note that in the future, with the addition of the Pyro system, which will be much larger than Stanton, these calculations may change. But for now, the Argo raft with an XL1 Drive is recommended for players seeking the fastest ship in Star Citizen.
In conclusion, this video provides valuable information on the fastest ships in Star Citizen for efficient travel within the game’s system. By comparing Quantum Drive top speeds, fuel efficiency, and claim times, the narrator helps players make informed decisions on which ship to choose for speedy journeys.
