Star Citizen 3.19.1 - Ship tier list for VHRT bounty hunting solo! (With timestamps!)

All the Hornets use to be able to mount a gimballed S2 on the nose, I got no idea why they removed that option.

i know im a bit late to the party, but i was wondering if the vanguard warden is actually any good in comparison the the other vanguards?

Dang the Mustang Beta is that bad huh? I guess I'll use the Titan for combat.

I heard that the Ares got a buff. If this is true where does it place now?

but does the hornet specialty s5 gimbal puck actually gimbal or is it stationary?

Great video, I agree with everything but in comparison between Sentinel and Basic variant Warden, sentinel have EMP but also half of Total HP for hull then Warden.

Can you make a tier list ranking every ships boom when it explodes please. Maybe an eclipse version

I agree with nearly everything but how can the arrow be behind the avengers, they both tank nerly nothing and the avengers fly like a rock in atomsphere, and I think missiles on the arrow are more than the of the avenger, and the weapon load out feels also better.

Thank you for the big effort, this video must have taken ages to produce! 10/10!

What a FANTASTIC video

I mostly use my connie Andro for delivering packages...
Packages are the only missions which i know what im doing lol.

This is probably the best tier list I've seen to date. I fully agree with every assessment you made.

That's probably the most carebear tier list I've ever seen in my life.

I am a bit confused, you refer to VHRT as one of the best ways to make money, but why not ERT? personally I make a lot more money doing ERTs, is there some kind of barrier that prevents it being available to all players?

So I'm a new player who bought SC awhile back but never really got into it. Don't really want to break the bank either. I played a whole lot of elite dangerous and no man's sky, realized I'm really an explorer and combat oriented never did like the mining stuff just drive to places and explore with occasional combat when I get bored off aimlessly flying. What ship would you recommend me?

Best bang for your buck: Vanguard Sentinel.

I run the Connie and absolutely love it. It shreds bounties

"OP-ness"

I must say this is a very detailed list. Now, it still bugs me rhat people think that "top speed" is so important and think that fighting above SCM speed is a good idea. Do people know what SCM speed actually means? Like "Safe Combat Maneuvering speed"?
Except a few really good pilots, we have a whole bunch of people thinking they are good at ship combat, ignoring that the NPCs are very slow due to server performance and that speeds above SCM make it worse. I'll ignore PvP for the most part, because beside of the mentioned good pilots, PvP boils down to people thinking they are good when they actively chose to only attack weaker targets and take out non-combat ships with combat ships.

So far the new flight modes changes look promising and hopefully put an end to the jousting nonsense.

Origin X85 - the worst joke of a ship in Star Citizen. Initially, it had at least a luxury interior and cool styling!

Now its like a dated Renault R5 Base model with the trunk missing...
This is supposed to be Origin made? Preposterous shit . . .

I am just examining the game to decide what To buy. NOW, I am totally confused

Its gonna be interesting to see where the Inferno lands with the changes in 3.2, that accuracy buff the Inferno gets is gonna make it shred fighters if you can aim.

I would put the Corsair into the S tier.

Damn man, your videos are always so informative - Gotta love how much Exploration DPS that corsair is rockin!

there you can see a list made by an aweful pilot

I didn’t know you could divert power to different directions for the shields on the s2 ones thanks man

Hornets look like lawnmowers

that explored pop outs are hilarious

this guide should say: tier list if planning on eating 95% of incoming fire, no offense but the inferno can easily solo crit threats can easily evade all incoming fire, arrow can do erts without getting hit once, im trying to make sense of this list but i cant, some picks are accurate but 600i should be S along with corsair and connie, because of distance strafing all incoming damage, you seem to eat every shot though in your video. Hurricane C tier??? LOL not possible! Hurricane and Scorp should be S by all rights.

I think the Ion deserves to be higher up the tier list in all honesty.

There is nothing in VHRT bounties that the Ion can't hit with ease, save perhaps the Hurricane which can be admittedly tricky.

But beyond the Hurricane, the Ion makes short work of any of the targets you're faced with. It's decently maneuverable making tracking and evasive maneuvering fairly simple, can tank hits quite well, and doesn't need to restock on ammo saving money and time.

I'd personally put it up in B at a minimum, but probably even A tier in all honesty. I'm generally in and out within a minute or so of arriving at the bounty location.

I'm ignorant as shit, so I was surprised to see retaliator here for solos. Are you able to get guns for the pilot??

I was considering getting rid of the retaliator, you've got me rethinking now.

great vid!
what is this timer on the left of an ui of a hammerhead section of the video?

I've been using my Redeemer to chain group VHRTs of late and I am finding it more efficient than the Vanguard. I use it with 4x S3 repeaters as I find the gimbals / remote turret give you a little more arc to hit the more nimble targets. The 2x S3 shields let you take most of the damage of 3-4 AI ships on the chin without issue.

lesss go, thanks man, i very hesitate to upgrade my vulture to an constellation, and i go for the andromeda, thanks you so much

the cutlass blacks situation is why i dont even play anymore. hell, i sitll never got the tractor beam it was suppose to come with. all well, the game is never really coming out anyhow.

I've actually been having a lot of success on the anvil hawk with 2 size 1 and 2 neutron cannons, and then 2 size 2 distortion cannons. The distortion guns strip shields super fast even on big ships and then the neutron cannons have enough dps to take down even a reclaimer in a reasonable amount of time. You have to play around with the power sometimes but I tend to sweep through VHRTs pretty fast and really fun as well

Quick question, i've been out of the game for quiet some time, when i was last here components like the palisade, JS300-500, Atlas drive, fr86 etc were apparently the best, is this appears to have changed, is there anything in particular that caused these changes?

I was loving the MVSA + AD5B gatling on these ships and undefeated in space lmao that was a sick combo in previous patches, haven't tried yet in this patch, tho.

cannons or repeaters ?

With the relative improvement of missiles, I wonder if I should use my 400 for bounties…
It has a massive missile payload.

can you please make same list, but for pvp?

Was hoping the Mercury Starrunner would be in the list.

I want that headlight tier list

Oh and the scythe is for tier 2 subscribers, I’ve had mine for almost 5 years

The reliant tana is my favorite ship

Noticed your mappings in the description, looking forward to finally trying to set up my gladiator. Also how are your fps in that build?

Harbinger gets torpedos and 2xS3 turret guns instead of 2xS2 as the rest. So if you fly with a gunner sometimes its helpful.

This game just looks worse and worse every time I have something pop up yikes that combat looks like trash.

Just a note on the insurance reclaim for torpedos on the Retaliator. If you pledge for the BASE retaliator you get 2 bombers as loaners so you can take out 1, fire off the 6 torps and menu log. Go grab the second whilst the first is reclaimed and repeat

Great video! I see you put alot more effort into these videos than other creators, which will certainly pay off in the future.

I just wonder, why do you focus so much on VHRT's? Are ERT's not worth doing anymore? I havent played in a while so idk if any changes have made them less viable. Back in 3.16 I did tons of ERT's with the connie, eclipse and even the gladius lol.

Also are combat beacons just as viable as bounties or are the bounties still a superior way of making money?
