I think Valkyrie is more for a guns blazing hot LZ while the prowler can sneak in troops and fight it way out if need be. So if you're ferrying troops + vehicles valkayrie is the way to go, if you need a strong anti-fighter to keep the skies clear, prowler is the best.
Well I think the Valkyrie does well in both camps too! But the big cannons on the Prowler are just awesome
Prowler is also better for boarding missions once that is possible.
Very true however in my opinion I see the Valkyrie as a lone tank able to hold its own on its own where as the prowler as you said is a sneak troops behind enemy lines however with its shields in numbers a prowler would easily be able to hold its own in a hot LZ
Since the Prowler is supposed to be stealthy, I figure the two S5 are there to welcome our current distortion scatterguns, to rapidly disable a ship and keep it pinned in the last moments of boarding.
Sadly the Prowler is anything but stealthy and personally I refuse to use it until it performs closer to how it should.
Looking to get into star citizen and just came across this channel, thank you for your content
Thank you :)
I'm in love with terravin ships, can't wait for the talon!
I just love how beefed up it is, really strong ship
First time watching your videos and actually really like your format and steps of review. Subbed.
So glad you enjoy :) welcome!
The Prowler is a ship to watch for the future because A) it is also a land hovercraft B) Stealth C) gravlev docking on larger ships with stealth may be extremely powerful
Definitely. I always review ships as they currently are as it's never clear if the future is 3 months or 3 years before a rework etc. But I think in a feature complete game, Prowler will be very interesting
So, stealthly adhere to the enemy ship and sneak in, take over that ship then use it?
@@Farrister Good call... Too much "pie in the sky" bullshit being spouted by all kinds of pilots!
Valkyrie is my choice. The Prowler is ideal for sneaking in and its uniquely suited air shields make it superior for spaceborne boarding situations. The Valkyrie has the greater flexibility of cargo capacity and/or carrying vehicles inside its main hold, 4 more troops than the Prowler, and the capability for the ship crew to go on extended trips due to facilities onboard including beds to log off. Great video, as always Farrister. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Eric, always appreciate your thoughts!
Great Video!
I upgraded to a Prowler during the ship showdown and I fell in love. It's nimble enough to take on anything up to a Connie. Though I prefer the stock weapons, they really do melt ships quick. Combined with one stock shield and a FR-76 makes it beastly. Definitely looking forward to the Talon. As to why it lost, I have no idea. Makes me sad though that it did lose. Oh well.
I just think the mismatch between pricing is a shame. Eg cheaper to buy a Connie with cash, but cheaper to buy a Prowler in game
It's maneuverability is also very close to that of some heavy dogfighters. The Glaive is only a little better in pitch, yaw, roll and speed while the Super Hornet is even WORSE than the Prowler. Stats for the SH: yaw 55, pitch 50, roll 117, SCM 189, max speed 1228. Stats for the Prowler: yaw 57, pitch 58, roll 125, SCM 178, max speed 1116. Let that sink in for a while... when it settled go and compare the base loadout dps of the SH (1615) and that of the Prowler (1706). If that is not enough go and compare the shield hitpoints of the SH (10800) to that of the Prowler (76920) and you can see why (on paper) the Prowler outmatches even the Super Hornet in its current state. Hell even when the Super Hornet gets more armor its still very likely that the Prowler turns out to be tankier due to its shields. What the SH has going for it over the Prowler? The missiles and a smaller sillhoutte and a higher max speed and SCM but thats not that important.
Its also good to compare the Prowler to the Sentinel. A lot of players right now think the Sentinel is a very strong ship in dogfights. Rightfully so. But the Prowler has better stats than the Sentinel. Also quite impressive if you ask me
I think that this is the drop-ship for me. I got to try it out during the November event. I really like how it handles.
It's really unique too
another good vid, thanks bro!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice vid ty
Thanks. I am buying the Esperia Prowler today :)
Enjoy!!
I would really like to see a follow up video to this addressing the nerfs made to it. I’m a new player and couldn’t wait to get it after seeing this review and then in doing more research see that it got nerfed while doubling the aUEC price
It's so difficult keeping track of the ships through patches! I'll definitely revisit the review, although I have so many of them now I've got a lot to get through xD
Stock Prowler can own a Valkyrie in a dogfight and melt smaller fighters; and makes a great pursuit vehicle in bounty hunting (with an upgraded quantum drive in can go fast and far). It can take a beating and throw a heavy volley - my fav ship.
Do you use it mostly to make money, or to have fun?
@@Farrister I've made most of my money mining and cargo hauling; but prefer to fly the Prowler for any other purposes. I find I still make a small profit when using it for combat; but to me combat missions don't make as much money as I can on the former two trades - no matter what ship I fly combat doesn't make me as much money per hour.
Didnt know this ship exsisted until today really cool sadly its 4 mil now
"Alien tax"
@@Farrister alien tax 200%
The Prowler is such a cool ship! I recent became fascinated with everything Tevarin so I've decided to pick it up in game. I've also NEVER seen anyone use it. Probably because the Valk is better in just about every way, but I just cant get over the look of this ship. Cant wait to detonate it by trying to fit a Nox in the back😂😂😂
Haha!
@@Farrister bro this is half of why you're my favorite SC content creator. Besides your FIRE content that I use whenever I'm ship shopping, you interact with the community on the regular. Even on three year old videos about obsolete and overpriced ships that nobody(execpt me, now) uses😁. It's so cool and makes you feel more like a person and less of a personality. I'm a fairly high ranking member of Space Tomato's org and dont get me wrong I love that community, but you have always been and always will be my go-to Star Citizen content creator. Thanks for everything you do
@@Integer_Overload I do what I can, ultimately it's fun talking to people about what they love about the game. Hoping to speak to Space Tomato tonight! Great community there are the GII
@@Farrister absolutely! I love Tomato too and watch all his content just like I do yours. I look forward to watching if yall stream it!
So. Did it bloe up? Did you fit a nox? 🥺
for PvE adventures, the Prowler is a good choice with those guns
It really is!
Great ship, but the biggest issue I've seen in every review of this ship is that people ignore its most unique capability which the design is centered around. The side facing troop drop doors are protected by force fields that protect the atmospheric integrity of the interior and provide a specific and special dismount option. Why? Because the ship was designed to board other space vessels.
If you read the history of the ship, you will note that it was feared for its capability to sneak up on, and deliver boarding parties, onto enemy spacecraft while in space. The gravity well devices along the ship's underside aid in this type of maneuver, allowing the Prowler to make a soft deployment onto ship skins w/o breaking its stealth.
So, although it can function as a stealth option for ground deployment for troops, its true strength is in its capacity to perform ship to ship clandestine operations.
Other than the rule of cool, I don't find the Prowler very useful unless being used for mainly ship to ship boarding actions and the occasional stealth ground deployment. Personally I will keep my Valkyrie since I find it more flexible and better for group play situations.
You'd need a LOT of friends to make use of that boarding ability!
@@Farrister true. Which seems to be t he case with certain ships. If you haven't done a video on it yet, that might make a good topic video, "Ship Crew Requirements in a AI Blade World." Looking at ships in the perspective of which ones can be automated and which ones cannot in order to fulfill their intended purpose.
Ships like the Prowler need people to deploy, while ships like the Redeemer can probably AI Blade their turrets to fulfill their gunship capabilities. But can a Reclaimer, or a Mole, AI Blade their processing automations?
For a pure speculation video it might be fun but will probably require as much AI reference material from Star Citizen news.
@@WookieeRage could be! Sounds similar to when I asked about capital ships solo!
I kinda expected it to fly better in atmosphere given it was created by a race of bird people
You would have thought so!
FYI - the CIG link from the USC page is a 404 (even with making sure to be signed in on the Spectrum account).

Thanks, we will take a look!
The most interesting part of the ship is the one way hatch shields. You can shoot out, but no one can shoot in. Not entirely useful, because your ship is a sitting duck for other ships, but in situations where there's ground battles, troops inside the ship could use it as a bunker to be impervious to ground fire. I think the best use for it, would be to land near somewhere a bounty is landed, and just stand in the door with a sniper rifle and pick them off when they're outside their ship. If they manage to get to their ship, you can likely get to the cockpit and take off well before they can.
Oh that's incredible, I didn't even realise they worked like that!
i would buy this ship just for it's looks (with in-game currency of course).
It does look incredible!
Cockpit of this ship feels like it could be out of elite dangerous with it's virtualized screens
Such an unusual effect, but very cool!
Thanks for that video! I'll get the Prowler today on the IAE 2950's alien day. I wanted a dedicated dropship for a long time and always owned the Redeemer. But now the Redeemer most likely lost its dropseats so I had to find a new dropship. Why I pick up the Prowler over the Hoplite and Valkyrie? Its better suited for combat since a single player controls all weapons easily while the Hoplite and Valkyrie need a second player or NPCs/AI. That being said, the only aspect the Valkyrie has going for it is the ability to hold a ground vehicle and cargo. Thats a big plus and made the decision hard again. But then I re-read the q&a's for the Prowler and saw that its also designed as a boarding-dropship. The Valkyrie cant offer that (most likely) or is at least worse in that role. That are my reasons for picking up the Prowler summarized: easily flyable by a single player, very stealthy, great firepower, great shields, great looks, good flight model and the ability to board enemy ships.
One of the things I love about Star Citizen is that different people have different ship preferences. I hope you're able to get the Prowler, and hope you are happy with your purchase!
@@Farrister Oh is it a limited ship like the Polaris? I thought it would be as easy as click some buttons? :)
it's the BEST BH ship c-788 cannons and you shread Valks
the connie is good too. and Hammerhead def would be better with only two grew one manned on the upper turret.
I have a lot of fun flying Hammerhead with all of the turrets manned! Except maybe the rear one
In lore the cockpit is made out of a material which becomes transparent when powered. Its significantly more resilient than other transparent options but will leave you entirely blind during a powerloss.
Also I cant quite remember if it already was like that in 3.10 but the handling of the prowler, which was its biggest strongpoint in combat has significantly worsened. I dont recommend spending either the 440 dollars or 2.5 million uec.
Oof yeah...
@@Farrister When the Prowler released they also released that brochure. I remember it saying that in there :D Sry dont wanna be a smartypants :D
I would rather get a Valkyrie as it can do more, yeah its not stealthy but it just does more overall
With aUEC, you can get them all xD
This thing looks cool, seriously hoping you can get this in squadron 42, also hoping for AI marines for ground missions, I would have endless fun with that.
That sounds epic!
i just realized that this ship is a lobster
Haha, it is a bit, yes!
I sub you brother
how are you flying like that at 5:40, without the lead indicator.
3.10 UI hits different... :(
@@Farrister im sorry now im more confused
@@caboose2569 this is how it used to look, a long time ago, but they changed it
@@Farrister RIP.
Price just went up.
:(
I'll take ten
Grunts in the back?
@@Farrister both that and ships
Am I seriously going to buy this thing just for the looks, and then try to blast illegal surveillance sats. YES.
Haha Star Citizen player confirmed xD
The ship is cool, but it's not worth the 440USD price tag...maybe half that.
'Alien tax'
@@Farrister Pardon me for my lack of knowledge, but why does everyone(literally) answer back with "alien tax" when I state what I stated about this ship?
@@Avalad they tend to have a higher price for rarer ships, it isn't necessarily justified in performance, simply on rarity
valkyrie is not good for his price , small thruster power, too many holes in the shield, ridiculous gun for the pilot, for the price I think this prowler doing better ... but I think the mechanic'll change and should be another story with armor plate in place of HP for hull
The shield holes is probably more of a temporary thing, and I find affects PvP much more than PvE. I think the Prowler just suffers from "alien tax"
@@Farrister I got one , I can't fight with mine, my avenger is more tanky ... but that'll change, is not write in the stone ;) enjoy your universe !
I like it, but it's bugged and almost 2x overpriced... A pity...
Yup...
Horrible ship. Tried to use it with my friend. Co pilot is still fucked up. Can't get into the turret. I'm sad you didn't announced this
3.10 was a while ago!
So you're saying it worked then but not now? XD
