Star Citizen Ship Showcase - RSI Constellation, My Money Maker 

For everyone complaining about scanning. It's not scanning cargo because you are at a 0% Pierce (right bar) in the scan mode. Wheel up to get it to 100% to get the data on the ship. 0% pierce is generally only used to PING to get a general idea of stuff around you.

I'm a Connie lover too, my Taurus is my favorite ship.

Picking up a connie when I get back to shore. I dont care that its digital. It doesn't rust, and doesn't suck up slip fees.

Taurus lover here, few observations: 1. Scanning is trash 2. Set keybind for open/close all doors makes looting much more streamlined. 3. Bring your ship closer to the target and set your shields to 100% power and make sure you are not in nav mode. (I got blown up multiple times by spawning npcs while looting or selling on settlements). 4. Remove all high value cargo from the bounty ship and only then move it all together to your ship, dont go back and forth. Just few min/max nitpicky tips.

This was the first "big" ship I purchased in SC. I have always been about exploration. It was all of my elite level gameplay in ED. Soon as I saw the Connie, I had to purchase her. The old school look with the nacelles did it for me and the cockpit of the Aquila as well. Well done video.

I went back and forth between an andromeda and the corsair 3 or for times, I loved the connie more but the view out of the bridge killed it for me. Finally upgraded to tha Anquilla and never looked back. didn't notice having less missles, had a little more boost speed but most importantly I could finally live with the damn view. Great vid as always brother. Take care

I love my Taurus. The Connie view is one of the best, and has a fantastic HUD layout. I can't wait till she gets brought up to gold standard, and we get weapons racks and such.

Love the Connie! When scanning, once you are on the target use your scroll wheel to increase the intensity - you had it at zero which is a 360 degree scan.

Im glad im not the only one who prefers the Aquila simply for the better cockpit :)

I agree, the Caterpillar is such a cool ship. I'm not sure it'll be one that I use as much after the incoming cargo refactor, but I will always want to have one in my hangar just to take out for funsies

Looking forward to getting into one of these one day. Still learnin so much and enjoying your videos

I've been really enjoying doing ERT as a duo. 1 flies the F8c and the other hangs back in a reclaimer. The F8c basically doesn't get hit and with an all cannon loadout takes these things down almost as fast as you were here. After the fight the reclaimer cleans up the trash. Each A2/C2/M2 or Starfarer is worth about the same as an HH, a reclaimer is worth 3x that! Was making really good money from that, and you aren't stuck praying for decent cargo.

I live in Orison, so I just load the Taurus up with Hephaestanite and haul her home. No combat required. It's not huge money, but I'm not risking millions per load with a bigger ship.

You might like the Crossfield quantum drive more. The difference in travel times is negligible, but it sips on fuel. You can chain multiple bounties together before heading back to refuel/repair.

I love the Akwweela too. It’s great!

The herc can also do ERT’s with less DPS but you can stay in the fight for longer with better cap, agility and shields

in scan mode, try using mouse wheel to adjust right side of scanner (PIERC) to 99%. I think that makes the close up, dead ahead scan work better. i really enjoyed the vid

This ship is all you need to start your adventures in Star Citizen. With it you will be able to do an ERT, Haul Cargo and complete Bunkers. With the cash you will be rolling in you will then build your in-game fleet with the addition of a vulture for salvage. Your only issue will then be cargo space in your hanger for all the containers of CASH.

I did an ERT in my Aquila the other night. I had all Galdereens on it and killed the HH and its escorts. In all that, I’d totally forgotten the 24 missiles. 😅

I use the corsair and andromeda mainly for erts. I have noticed i pay more for damages on the corsair vs the connie. Both either way with MA cannons or my favorite right now is ballistic cannons slightly kills faster and doesn't use as much ammo as youd think. I use an eclipse here and there for fun lol. This vid did make me want to upgrade to the aquila purely for the cockpit view.

My andromy is my go to for doing bunkers and bounties back to back. Nursa in the belly and M7's in the loadout, shes a beast!

Plus, I'm doing ERTs in my corsair when this dropped, so I'm getting this Spaceballs VCR vibe going.

I got myself a phoenix this ilw. Love it. Such a nice allrounder.

Small suggestion, if you like the connie for ERTs, you should try the 600i. Two S3 shields, more HP than a Redeemer and you get 30 shots for each M7A with full power to weapons. A load of S3 missiles too. Takes down ERTs with ease

Agree re the Corsair, im constantly losing wings, and ending up with large repair bills as consequence. Have none of those issues with my andromeda and erts are just easy in them with the m7a’s

The Taurus has been my beacon, my savour since 3.23 has dropped. I myself have been using the Constellation Taurus more than anything this patch so far.

After doing a bunch of ERT's this patch I've seen that even when scanning works and says there's nothing, there could still be cargo. Also I have yet to see an ERT cat have cargo ever.

I love the Aquila for the better cockpit too, but I just cant turn down FIFTY TWO missiles on the andromeda. regardless, I'm a deadbolt corsair man. the profile is bigger and bulkier but its still just as agile, so I find I can roll 1 ERT without losing shield, then take the cargo and go to rearm and sell if its anything worth over a few mil

Constellation Andromeda full Omnisky is life. Love mine.

Halo Wars music + Star Citizen = Perfect

Connie very good ship exept one huge minus compare to Corsair its guns located on rear it means you cant use normaly in gimbal mode. If you want it as daily driver you must use it in every situation and sometimes you will encounter small ships also but without gimbal mode you cant hit with laser canons small and fast targets

I don't think anything could be classified as "Extreme Risk Threat" with AI like that....

andromeda and 600i are my ships of choice for solo heavy hitting, though for funsies I still love my harbinger and comet.

Taurus is my go too ... My understanding scanning is broke check all their cargo

Love the Connie’s, the true jack of all trades! I fly the Taurus. I had the Aquila but the view out of the cockpit annoys me. I prefer the big open glass section on the middle bottom of the other Connie’s, especially when planet side. They do need to get rid of some of those struts though.

today i learned there was cruise control lol 5:36

My go to is the Taurus (more capacity, the combat turret is on top to me more useful) so I'm there with you on the connies being highly effective. Side note: I'm not sure why people in 3.23 bother changing the shields at all. They now have literally the same stats in every way per size. e.g. All S3 shields have the same hp, the same regen, the same health, the same EM, everything regardless of the class, grade or manufacturer. but changing from stock to a milspec FR-86 in the case of S3, costs around 100k aUEC but offers literally no improvement of any stat, trait from the stock shield. Old habits maybe? Anyway, great vid showcasing the connie! love the content!

I love my Connie. And mine is the Andromeda version. I prefer the pointy nose. :)

You raised some interesting points.

corsair's capacitors are pretty bad to at the moment, I think its 9 shots per charge on the omnyskies. but if you put some ballistic gatlings on it really shreds, in one slow pass you can rip apart a starlifter. but then you need to rearm every 2-3 bounties, so all in all you're probably right to use the conny to grind!

I was half expecting Voidy to jump you at Brios.

If I could only own one ship in Star Citizen, it would be a version of this ship.

Connie need definetly some Rework. Even with better canopy, MFD's obstructing a view so much. Corsair have much better visibility. I'd love to see one day upgraded version.

Thanks for the video! I'm a new player and ultimately want this ship as my end goal. I find salvage to be very boring but my starter titan can't farm HRT yet haha. Is there another game loop any can recommend on top of salvage ? I just bought the vulture

I don’t think the capacitors got nerfed per say. All laser cannons share the capacitors so all four run out quicker compared to let’s say if you used two laser and two Gatling. That’s how I understand it at least. I guess it is a nerf at the end of the day lmao. What mission did you grind to get to ERTs? All my MRTs are ground targets and bunkers and all my VLRTs are in the middle of nowhere and take 30 minutes to do.

How did you turn off your 3 mfd's? I can't figure it out.

Best ship in the 'Verse

connie lover here, My favorit is Phoenix that I have piano for :P But Taurus is more usefull now because of cargo running (NO Fucking glitching exploit) But for going around with my Nursa etc I take the phoenix for the better room on the sides at the cargobay. My general loadouts are 2 M7A laser Cannons on top and bottom I use Deadbolts. On both connies, and missles using is Rattlers on the Taurus size 2's. and Arrows size ones 24x on phoenix as it can't use size 2's.

i really like the constellation for hauling a roc, just wish it wasnt so pricey XD i wana get into more ships but i capped myself at the prospector i cant afford anything else right now hopefully we'll get a full PU without wipes soon so i can work on playing/earning them ingame just cant be asked to do it then get wiped

With the new MM, would it be beneficial to have 2 M7As and maybe 2 AD5Bs? It sounds like it could be interesting. I haven't tried it yet myself.

Hey bro , how much fps do you have ? And which gpu and cpu you using ? 👋🏼🤙🏼

love the halo music

so much "big" ships. Is it possible to create a beacon with so many ships and sell it to a reclaimer or salvage ship? Its worth millions for salvage... could be a good side money income?

I use Deadbolts on my Andromeda but Inferno can also handle ERTs solo. Small tip, it's better to grab group ERTs, for some reason they have easier ships to kill. For example in solo ERTs I mainly meet HHs or 890 as targets but took group ERT and had to kill Redeemer, Freelancer MAX and Cutty Black.

For last few patches the NPC ships are so fing RAM happy. CIG needs to fix that

meanwhile my corsair got bent over the table on an MRT bc the AI decided they were actually gonna fight back unexpectedly lmao

How long does it take to grind to ert.. I'm like a quarter left for vhrt and it's been like 4 days😂

Where are you doing the ERTs?

The most efficient way to make credits in this game is the game loop you enjoy playing most.

its been the ert king for quite a while.

I appreciate the Halo music tho

How are your middle screens not turned on?

Agree!

How many vhrts did it take you to get to ert's

Can't wait for Constellation gold standard rework...will replace my corsair with an Aquila then.

the phoenix is my daily :D

that the Halo bgm???

I can hardly wait to see you slug it out with other smaller ships in an Iron Clad. Pun intended. My Daily driver is Constellation Aquila or Andromeda

i dont think that you know but, on this patch, the Aquila got less NAV and SCM speed than the others so its slower, the agility and weapons are exactly the same as the others, the Taurus is cheaper and has a lot more cargo..... but it doesnt matter now, you already got the Aquila, use it, a Connie is a Connie and they all are awesome.

I go to Brio’s, 3 NPC attack ships blow my ship to bits. You go, and nothing? I don’t get it.

I hope all the Connie’s get a rework and better cockpits! I fly the Taurus for cargo/ground vehicles. Might swap to a Zeus maybe even if it has less firepower, we will see. Connie is getting so dated it hurts and it’s still so amazing!

Bro the eclipse for me still one shots ERTs every time for me, they dont even see me coming its like complety free

Connie is the GOAT!

I would like to point out to everyone reading this, no one else commented on this video before me, thereby making me better than everyone else. Ha....

Taurus FTW.

Taurus all the way!

weird your pip doesn't lead the target like it should

Is that halo reach music? Haha

Lucky run.

Connie. Taurus.

i agree the corsair is a weak in the wing it sucks

Aquila cool, but Marco better, just wish it had the Aquila view.

I love my Cutty Black as a daily but my Connie is what I want my daily to be. I own the Phoenix variant and love it! o7 EDIT: Eclipse can one shot ERT's unless they nerfed that?

Frankly saying the Aquila has a much better view than the o5her connies is .... meh. When i flight it for the first time, i thought, "This is what cig call "a better view"?" You still get these weird metal pieces all over the place. Origin pilots should laugh surely.

I'll take the Connie over the Corsair every day. I own the Andromeda... The Galderenes it comes with are crap, but it doesnt take long to find s5 cannons laying around

i love my drommy mommy but gawd i hate its windows

the npc is a joke to look at they do not resist much in normal fight whare done long time ago vs such ships they just stand still an do nothing much

Moneymaker video, and then has merely a million on his bank account which I do in even a Vulture in 3 hours. Dude.
