This is the single safest ship in the game. She can easily tank anything fast enough to catch her, and outrun anything that might pose a threat. On top of that, she has triple redundant power plants and coolers, with several additional components cooled in refrigerated areas, presumably to decrease the chance of a fire. She will make for an amazing exploration ship for when you just want to survive at all costs.
She is also the most expensive ship in game when comparing the Constellation Andromeda / 400i / Corsair / Mercury Star Runner. I am waiting to see how master mode treats her. With the small size, large rear main thrusters, and x3 powerplants, it may end up beating the Mercury Star Runner in terms of speed.
When it released at IAE 2951, I liked it enough to pick it up, along with the Meridian and Penumbra paints, but it didn't replace my Mercury as my daily driver until Luminalia 2951. It's been my daily driver ever since. Ironically, now that I have Meridian paints for all my Crusader ships (Mercury, Ares, and C2), I've gone back to using the Penumbra paint so that my X1-Force matches. Overall, I agree with you, except... early on, you say, "it's not the fastest," and while that's _technically true, there are few ships that are faster than it in space, and even fewer in atmo. So, yes, it is not the fastest ship in the 'verse, but when a 3-person luxury yacht can outrun a lot of fighters, all while carrying a bike, a significant armoury, enough cargo for living off the grid for a good long while, and still have space for an STV or a Cyclone. I prefer Rhinos over ballistics. I had thought about going with ballistics, but then I ran into some hostiles hovering over an Investigation Mission crash site. A pair each of Cutty Blacks, Vanguards, Starfarer Geminis, and Reclaimers. I took them all down, but I would have ran out of ammo if I'd tried it with ballistics. Then I wished I'd had a Reclaimer of my own there. 🤣
I love the 400i, but it needs a little bit of a cargo grid that isn't directly on the elevator platform. If it were possible to store a couple of 2 SCU boxes on a grid, similar to the 600i, and then chuck a Cyclone on the elevator, that'd be great. And I need them to fix the X1 bay so that you can actually store an X1 in there without the dang thing rattling all around in there. But then again, same goes for any ground vehicle and any elevator platform.
I love my 400i, I went for the ad4b gatlings and the penumbra paint, i use it for bunker running all the time and love it. Other ships i have or out there to buy better daily's? Yes but like you said the 400i just has something about it that i like using. We truly do have the same taste in ships lol.
I love the 400i`s component redundancy. even with one cooler and plant left, its more than enough. But damn, I wish it would inherit the 100 series hydrogen generator
You know what's sad, I am still saving up for one in game, because I kind of miss it as as "daily driver". If only it could house a ROC then it would be more useful. If they were to redesign this ship, I would have the front fold in completely making it streamlined in flight but then have this shielded kind of look when deployed. I would move the top turret to the top of the ship and have the turrets retract unless powered on, again to streamline the ship. I would also make it capable of carrying the ROC, or at least some kind of ground based medical vehicle if they want to keep the pathfinder thing going.
This ship is the toy hauler! Once the tumbril ranger comes out you can load a X1 and a couple rangers in it and take your buddies off to run bunker missions or just have fun!
Designed to run away. Enough shield and speed to get you to quantum. And the double rear turrets in the back will keep the faster(usually smaller) enemies off you. I use it to bunker run in style. And loot cargo from VhRTs. And you can move a lot of cargo, not just the 42 scu cargo elevator. Just takes moving around the ship.
I use my 400i for bounty hunting. Everyone looks at the "luxury" tag and never even tries to fight with it. This ship's tanky as hell and 2 rhinos for the pilot is enough to take down enemy ships easily.
I hope they'll bring some kind of military grade or pirate version of this ship. With a top turret, better guns and reinforced front to ram/cut through other ships inspired from the Harlock series
I'm waiting for my 325a to turn into the weapon it should be. I hope the 400i also turns into a quick ship however I believe the MSR will be a better ship at many aspects. However the 400i is a flex. I love the skin and have a great day
She was an instant buy for me when she was announced. I melted her for a bit due to fleet shuffling around but it's been back in my fleet permanently now. For a point A to B to C ship she's amazing. I just wish the cargo bay was juuuuuuust bigger enough to carry an Ursa, but then she'd be unstoppable.
Also I forgot to mention, because the 400i has three of every component. If you take two of each component out, the missing component spaces now become storage lockers. They are big enough to fit rail guns and boxes. Also the four escape pods can hold about ten boxes if stacked correctly on the padding and the floor space below it, right before where the glass door shuts. I've tested extensively and only found issues with the Port side escape pod, closest to the center of the ship. It eats boxes, and forces them into the skin of the ship, turning the 400i into a six million dollar Maraca.
The 400i remains a keeper for me and will be even better in Pyro. I have been playing SC for a year now but am only now starting running bunkers and this seems a very good ship for those. I also really like the Valkyrie for that but it is too expensive as pledge ship and even more toothless running solo. What are your bunker ship preferences? Maybe do a video about that? Cheers o7
o7 my friend, i do bunkers with medical pices. lol small, fast and has a bed :D yeah shore will do it in future thanks for the tip. Also now that you are on my discord we can play some bunkers together.
It's tanky AF. it can take a pretty good beating, and if you have gunners it puts out a pretty good beating. Though it is fairly useless. I do love to just tour around in it and get screen caps. I've gotten some of my best screen caps in this ship.
good video but please being a lover of this ship you have to mention the landing mechanics down onto any surface is probably the most exquisite of all ships to date.
Gotta be honest, sacrificing this to get the 600i Touring wasn't worth it. It's a damned shame that you can't CCU "down" and take the difference as store credit because I would do it immediately.
@@AirClowdy mhm since I'm now stuck with it, I'm hoping that the rework makes them great. Bonus points if the modularity that they're now working on is available by the time that the 600i's rework comes out so that I can effectively swap between Touring and Explorer.
The only main critism with 90% of ships in Star Citizen, is the lack of windows/views, if there are windows, and the 400i being a good example, they're 6ft high.....wtf?, if im sitting down in my comfy seat, and i look to my left or right.....there's a godam wall?, its a game for gods sake. Unfortuanately there's only one ship that meets that critera, and thats the Phoeni, its possibly the best example of value, ''snub+Lynz'', luxury living, and cargo space.
this ship is the best anti-pirate/griefer, assuming u have the crew... run away.. and you have two full turrets abel to counter spam anybody dumb enough to follow

I love my 400i. You're right, it reminds me of Darth Maul's ship so much. It even has the bike storage area, just like Maul used in Episode 1.

The only real issue with this ship is the quantum fuel amount, for and "Explorer" it is just ridiculous.

@@infinitespace239 Oh snap! Good to know, thank you!
Lol, My 400i is my daily driver in SC. It will outrun most ships in the game and is a very fast delivery ship with a snappy Quantum Drive too.
People can say star wars... but that amount of missile spam more reminds me of Robotech!
I dig your video man! and yes the 400i is not great but its a pretty ship especially comboed with X1 and maybe a STV
Yeah I agree, I hope to pledge one day for 400i and X1
It's definitely my favorite ship in the verse. Haven't flown it much lately though after the C1 came out...

lol nice findings
it's funny I've been saving forever & finally bought my 400i like an hour before you dropped this vid lol
Thaam that's amazing have fun with it ☺️
I agree that ship is like a beautiful yacht what it really needs is a gloss black paint
Uuu that would be nice ☺️
I got one 😊
I love ships with dumb turrets
I really wish that they retracted when not in use. Would make the lines WAY more cleaner.
I have the same feeling with my 600i. I love that ship! That would be the one I would take to real life.
600i is amazing too, can't wait for the rework.
It is my one and only pledge. I love it. And I wholeheartedly agree, this would be my ship choice to have in real life.
Nice 🙂

Yes I made a few videos about this ship I mentioned before. Some people where writing you are crazy , admiring landing gear, lol
Agree it is a good looking ship AND it is pretty much useless like many ships where 90% of it is non-functional.
I couldn’t agree more. Love this useless ship. By the way it is hard to park with that long nose.
🤘 Great video

Yeah, I would love to have downgrade in game. Or just wait when ships is again in the game and melt 600 and get 400 CCU on some smaller warband

one of my fav ship too
I don't know, the cockpit looks really awkward and amateurish from the outside.
The 600i has fewer such awkward designs so it looks better IMO.
Could be, but at least to me it makes sense and it looks amazing. But what do I know I am not an engineer 🤣
