The video ranks Star Citizen cargo ships in the 65-128 SCU range, highlighting the Asgard as the best overall due to its efficient cargo handling and balanced capacity, while ships like the Freelancer and Corsair rank lower because of outdated designs and inefficient layouts. The Tevarin stands out for its high efficiency and vehicle-carrying capabilities, and other ships like the Mercury Star Runner and Constellation Andromeda offer trade-offs between cargo capacity, loading ease, and vehicle transport.
The video discusses the best Star Citizen cargo ships within the 65 to 128 SCU cargo capacity range, focusing on their efficiency, layout, and vehicle-carrying capabilities. At the lower end, the Freelancer ranks last due to its outdated design, inefficient cargo grid, and a difficult-to-access middle cargo section. Despite these drawbacks, it can carry multiple vehicles, which is a notable advantage. The Corsair comes in second to last, hindered by a higher price point despite having a slightly better cargo layout.
The Freelancer Max improves upon the original Freelancer with better vehicle loading, but still suffers from an inefficient layout and the complicated middle section. The Zeus CL offers ample capacity but is held back by a complex cargo layout that requires multiple smaller boxes and a precise loading sequence to fit everything through its rear door. The Mercury Star Runner appears twice in the rankings: one version includes its full 114 SCU capacity with a secret compartment, which reduces efficiency and ease of loading but excels in vehicle carrying, while the other version excludes the secret compartment for better cargo efficiency and loading ease.
The Constellation Andromeda ranks fourth, with its strength being rover carrying, though it also struggles with the need for multiple smaller boxes to fully utilize its cargo space. The second-place ship is the new Tevarin, which, despite having an average 96 SCU capacity, achieves high efficiency by using just four 24 SCU containers. Its standout feature is its excellent vehicle score, including the ability to carry snubs, multiple bonuses without reducing cargo capacity, and capabilities for refueling, repairing, and rearming, totaling near-maximum points.
The Tevarin also scores points for having a tractor beam, though it lacks a cargo ramp, and has a mixed cargo layout with easily viewed top-side cargo but blind placement for lower side containers. Finally, the top-ranked ship is the Asgard, which is evaluated with a slightly reduced cargo capacity of 428 SCU for a more efficient unloading process. This trade-off prioritizes ease and speed of cargo handling over maximizing every SCU, making it the best choice in this cargo range for overall performance and efficiency.
