Double Donison enthusiastically reviews the Drake Clipper as his favorite solo ship in Star Citizen, praising its versatility, compact design, and practical features like the sniper perch and medical room that make it ideal for bunker running. Despite some drawbacks like the weak quantum drive and unfinished interior elements, he highly recommends the ship for both solo and duo play, highlighting its fun gameplay and reliability.
In this video, Double Donison shares his enthusiasm for the Drake Clipper, which he considers his new favorite ship in Star Citizen. Despite its somewhat high price of 150,000 credits, he praises it as an excellent solo ship, especially for bunker running. After trying it out during a “zero to hero” run, he rented it again to complete missions and found it to be a reliable daily driver. The Clipper has quickly become his go-to ship due to its versatility and fun gameplay.
He then dives into the ship’s specifications, highlighting its armament and components. The Clipper comes equipped with four size three weapons, including two Mantis GT220 ballistic gatlings and two Omnis Sky 9 laser cannons, along with a diverse missile loadout. It has two size one shields, two size one power plants, a size one cooler, and a size one quantum drive, which he criticizes as being poor and recommends replacing as soon as possible. The cargo capacity is 12 SCU, with the ability to stack boxes in various configurations, making it practical for looting and transporting goods.
The interior of the Clipper is compact but functional, featuring a scissor lift to access the cockpit, a ramp for cargo loading, and a medical room with a med bed that simplifies bunker runs by allowing quick respawns. He appreciates the personal storage and crafting table, though the crafting feature is not yet implemented. The ship also includes rifle and sidearm racks, a small armor closet, and storage for tractor beams, adding to its utility. However, he points out that some interior elements like the sink and shower are currently useless but expects they will become important as the game develops.
One of the standout features for Double Donison is the sniper perch created by the scissor lift. This elevated position allows him to safely pick off enemies outside bunkers before descending to clean up the remaining opponents. The ship’s small and compact design, along with its front entrance, makes it easy to land right in front of bunkers and quickly enter or exit, which is ideal for bunker running. He also shares a fun experience playing with his nephew, who used the sniper perch while he flew the ship, emphasizing the ship’s suitability for both solo and duo gameplay.
In conclusion, Double Donison highly recommends the Drake Clipper as the perfect bunker-running ship, especially for solo players but also enjoyable for duos. He invites viewers to share their opinions about the ship in the comments, whether they like it, dislike it, have bought it, or plan to buy it in-game. He wraps up the video with a friendly sign-off, promising more content soon and encouraging his audience to stay safe and enjoy the game.
