I recently got the C2 for this exact purpose, i have the AD5Bs on it and the TS2 quantum drive, but those are the only 2 upgrades i've made. I honestly prefer this ship for bounties to the Corsair, which is wayyyy more cumbersome to fly, despite being smaller! Great video, thanks
100% agree, Corsair is brilliant and all those guns firing at once is really nice but the C2 dances around it's targets in comparison. When I'm working as a group I always think of bringing it out to play but end up in the Inferno or C2.
@@EnixSC Same with the Connies. It's like flying a brick... when I do ERT's in the C2, it almost feels like a heavy fighter, like a big Inferno lol
@@kevs6658 probably why I like it so much, Inferno is my favourite ship
Great video! I just got my c2 today and ao exciteddddddddddd. My most favorite ship ever
Just upgraded the pulse to this beauty! What a ship. Looking forward to trying this tonight. Great channel
Nice video. I've been doing ERTs with a full Gatling Corsair. Think I'm gonna do the C2 today.
The Corsair makes such a nice noise with all those guns, I can see why you chose it.
BBBBBBRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT@@EnixSC
Look at all those wee devil eggs! $$$ good video buddy.
WEE DEVIL EGGS, that's how I like my eggs in the morning 😁. Thanks buddy o7
I loved everything about this video, hopefully I can get my Bounty hunter level up and do this in 3.23
Great video! Might have to try this.
Also, can confirm - be diligent. My gameplay loop is pirating at these scrap yards. I soft kill any ship on approach and steal cargo. I've made about 19mil in a couple weeks. We do exist ;) stay safe out there
Some players might not like your gameloop but I think it makes mine more exciting :) That being said I hope we don't meet ingame 😂
I got an m2 as a loaner for the liberator i use rinos on it for the gimbles but I'm thinking of changing to the size 5 repeaters since it turns way better then i thought, the nose turret helps a lot for when my buddy flies with me, only problem though is that when your in the seat for the nose turret, you black out a lot lol i want to try cargo running with it, but I've never taken the time to go to a web site for for trade routes, i rented a m2 during the free fly and got into a few fights with it around ghost hollow because we were trying to land and deploy a storm and storm aa, after the fights we got into in the air i totally changed my mind about the ship, i may pledge one some day, i know it has less cargo space then the c2 but i like the extra turrets on it, and i really like the a2 but i don't know enough people to man all the guns on it lol
You might not know enough now but Star citizen has a really good community. I'm sure you will have enough friends to fill it in no time. Cargo/trading is my main loop and have a few videos that you might like to look at or you could try SCtradetools website if you want to make your own routes.
@@EnixSC right on, I will check them out!
thanks for the useful tips, EnixSCin1080p ^^
I'm considering buying the pledge upgrade to C2 which is expensive but the frequent wipes in SC are the main thing that has stopped me playing for the past 2 years. I just don't feel the motivation to grind the same things over and over every wipe, so lean towards buying the ships in the store because at least you keep them then.
If this is the path you want to take then set your limits now. I said I would only buy one ship to get me started but that soon turned into the second rank of concierge.
I would recommend looking into the CCU game, this will save you lots of money. Most of my ships have been half price using this method.
I got my rep up to hrt today. Got my c2 setup same as yours. Had to run a bunch of salvage to get it but got it. Hopefully getting to ert won't take too long
Very nice, hope you get lucky with the eggs🤑
Halfway through hrt, man its a grind. Cant cargo spawn on vhrt?@@EnixSC
Wow that looks good mate haha, but those pirates....
I honestly did not think it would be so easy in the C2 but spent a few days testing. Even against groups with tougher ships I was only going to reload not repair after finishing the contract.
If you don't think you can or want to solo ERTs, ask someone with a fighter to fly with you.
Most of us love money, and will settle for a 60/40 split in your favour.
I'm sure you've heard of this before but you sound like Frankie on PC... But a little more laid back.
First time I've been told but I checked his channel and he does sound local 😂
It always looks so easy on YT videos lol. Ingame for me I have a plan but pure chaos always ensues. Also killed myself a bunch of times ramming into asteroids.
Things changed in the most recent patch. Flight has changed in a huge way and Ballistic weapons no longer have that punch, I will be posting an updated version asap.
Interesting, I would be worried about ammo, but it looks like you had plenty to get through that fight.
Just make sure to manage your range, in this video I'm not 100% accurate on my target but still landing shots. Even with a mix of hammerhead and Redeemer you will still have more than enough ammo.
i've done over 50 runs with this exact setup and never ran out of ammo per ERT. Its more than enough for the fight. Just rearm between bounties.
In most cases, I can run 2 ERTs before rearming. If I have 1400 or more after the first ERT, Ill do the second.
@@nathanstills159 At first I would restock after each one but now far more confident to let them run very low. o7
Ballistics are currently just a waste of ammo. Might change in the future but that part has definitlely changed now.
Yep lots has changed since I made this video. Flight, combat and contract loot rate is all very different, I did want to update but real life has got in the way of new content.
I Actually really like your voice in this video
Thank you :). I really did not enjoy having a cough for so long, I was desperate to record some gameplay and this was right at the end so not as bad as it had been.
1:54 - Power plants don’t do anything either, atm.
Revisiting this vid after a similar score. I loading a c2 full with mostly eggs. I climb up the ladder, walk through the doors, but get a bug just before I can sit down in the pilot seat. Can't do a shit. Calling my org mates on discord to come and loot me so I could rage quit. Later they sent me my share, 1/4, 8.2M
Sorry for the bad luck but happy you still got some profit. Do you remember what ship the eggs came from? I'm trying to do some testing on ship drop rates.
The eggs came from a C2 and a Starfarer. A second C2 contained less valuable drugs an I think there was also a Taurus that I didn't checked at all.
I like to beef up the front shields the coolers can help for that
I bought a C2 last week just for this purpose. Since then I have struggled to find $$$ loot or ERT missions spawning on Daymar or the dark side of the asteroid field or 30k
Sometimes you get a run of bad luck, keep trying and I'm sure you will get rewarded. This video was my first run on Saturday morning but sometimes I can go an hour without finding good numbers.
My issue has been getting qualified for higher bounties. I feel like I have run 25+ HRTs and still am only half way up the reputation bar.
If you see me ingame send me an invite, we run Ert's most nights so you can tag along for the xp( and profit)

I don’t have that kinda luck with errs right now.. I feel like they nerfed the spawns
Things have definitely changed from before Christmas. This video was recorded Saturday morning. The night before we had a 40million run and last night was 30 so it's still ok. I have noticed some ships are always empty now and the good stuff has always been in the Starfarer's, so not sure if they have just changed the loot pool for each type of ship.
Nice video! Are you strafing around the enemy ships during the fight? Or some other technique?
Yes but I also like to keep my ship in a role to reduce getting hit from the ships I'm not targeting.
Good to know, thank you@@EnixSC
@@JohnCinOz1 I found this guy to be very helpful youtube.com/@OneNutSupreme?si=lGFSRoG4F7vOJgUg
I had watched many videos when I first started dogfighting but it was his video with an Inferno that made it all click into place.
Think its combat capabilities will be nerfed rather soon, like in 3.23? Seems op for a designed freighter to be this good at bounty hunting
It's looking that way unfortunately, with the fixed weapon update it's going back to it's original role.
As much as i like my c2, we have to admit it needs a good nerf. It is not connies or corsairs that needs to be buffed.
Will be a sad day but I 100% agree.
How does the C2 fly with the updated flight model in 3.23.x?
It's different but not obsolete. Changes to the ballistic means that cannons will be your weapon of choice so you have to fight very differently. Unfortunately we have a huge duping epidemic so selling your cargo is not as easy at the moment, hopefully they fix it soon.
hello, nice vidéo ! my ad5b have 1800 and you have 2600, do you know how i can correct it .. thanks
Unfortunately they changed the ammo in the last patch. You can now only have that lower amount and shields will absorb more of the ballistic damage. I'm working on an updated video for this patch, hope to have it out soon
@@EnixSC Thks my friend
What about the Corsair? That’s what I bought instead. I didn’t know the c2 was better?
Corsair is a beast, full Ballistic will melt the enemy faster but it has a smaller cargo hold. Not every contract is full of stuff you want to take but when you get lucky the Hercules have enough space for multiple large cargo containers. Tbh I still use my Corsair but not as much as the C2
Mine has the size 5 ballistics and it tears ERTs up and you scoop up the goods in the bay and off to the next or a quick reload of the guns.
Such a fun build, when I first started testing this I was very surprised to see how little ammo was used.
I agree. I can get 2-3 good runs in at times before I get worried. It depends on your accuracy. I made the whole thing ballistic in case I draft a friend with me.
Also I have the same C2 build as the rest of components go. Very little gets through the shields
how are you finding ships with so many weevil eggs in them? I've done like 10 ERT contracts and barely got any weevil eggs, maybe like 20 SCU worth
Recent patches have changed the amounts, you can still find good profit but not as frequently
@@EnixSC oh ok thanks!! that explains why i wasn’t finding much hahahaha but hopefully ill get some today
@@Ryan-bk7kx keep your eyes open for the other good commodities, with them dropping the frequency of drugs they added things like RMC.
When did you record the gameplay? I've been having terrible luck the past 5 days.. i was wondering if they hotfixed the drop rates..
Saturday morning. It has definitely changed from every contract having maze and eggs but I'm still getting these big loads.
Found a load with 343 weewil eggs yesterday from a single c2, so i can confirm that it's still going.
@@Nidvard ooof now that is a very nice find. o7
@@Nidvard you are Blessed :D hope to hit one of those some day.
How do u get ERT missions ? None appear for me
You need to level up your bounty hunter rep, this can be done around any of the planets. Each level will offer you an evaluation contract to open up the next difficulty.
They've nerfed the cargo on VHRT's and ERT's recently.
Yep, the patch this week put an end to the large amount of dtugs drugs. It's still a fun loop with good profit though.
@@EnixSC what are the payouts for bounty hunting? I've only ever done it in relatively large groups. Collecting cargo and salvaging the wrecks. So by the time the dividing was done the actual bounties didn't cover much more than fuel and ammo.
@@draconusspiritus1037 I want to say it's really low, even the one with three targets which I think is 45k but that's just compared to how good we have had it over the past few months. Its getting to a point that all career paths are becoming equal to each other.
@@EnixSC so many complain about balance between career path payouts yet they have no understanding of what balance actually is. Risk, Effort, Expense (investment), Time vs Reward. In terms of Real Life, they want a part time job the average high school dropout can learn in 10 minutes or less. But they want that job to pay equal to a full time position that requires multiple specialized college degrees to even apply for.
Hey man! i just bought the reclaimer... wondered if youre interested in helping me start? im new to salvage! let me know if you wanna join me!
Thanks for the invite, always happy to crew the Reclaimer. I also have a video on soloing that ship but it's always more fun in a group. o7
@@EnixSC thats nice to hear! how can i contact you? o7
@@JompaTV just add me to your friend list ingame. o7
@@EnixSC added you! im CaptainHanSolo
@@JompaTV did not receive invite so I sent you one. Ennix.
How rare are the different cargos anyway? Because i literally always get the same, quartz tungsten corrundum iron etc. and for the valuable ones i didnt have anything else but quantanium altruciatoxin and once slam, literally nothing else no widow neon or the eggs. I did a lot of bountys, to be clear from close to unlocking vhrts to unlocking erts, nothing. Sure i blew up some ships on accident but the majority i scanned. Am i just the most unlucky person in the verse or are they so fucking rare?
To begin with it was nearly every Ert but they kept dropping the amount until latest patch. Since last week it's dropped significantly, you can still make good profit but it's been changed to be more inline with other top tier contracts
@@EnixSC Yeah i imagine they did it was really too op but funny thing is right after i wrote this comment i hopped on sc and did exactly one ERT and found a 890 jump with 14 scu of eggs netting me 1.5 mio and 1 contract after that i had a hammerhad with 2 scu of eggs and another ship with 32 scu of quantanium the second i complain i get everything haha
@@jannis-joelfehl4855 very nice. It's still a fun loop but 100% agree things needed to change. I'm starting to think they treated us all to millions before they do a full wipe and increase the price for ships in the next parch
@@EnixSC i just pray they dont haha
Im a truck driver just starting star citizen with my c2 take me under your wing please and show me the ropes
Welcome to Star Citizen. Org link is in the description, we are always happy to help. o7
@EnixSC thank you didn't expect such a fast reply
Yeah, good money
Good money and very good fun
A 30 second intro? I was bored before I even got to the content.. the content was good and I recommend this video.. I think you should edit the opening a down a little.
Thank you for the input. I have been trying to play around with the intro. sometimes with a catch at the start and sometimes just jumping right into the vid. Its a bit of a battle with analytics to see which is best. o7
Go hate yourself in silence.
I love how people are playing broken missions in this weird game and even making guides about it like its part of this really big thing. Not to mention they had to give about 400 dollars to buy this ship to even begin to playing these broken missions. I dont know what is going on anymore in this alpha. I don't get why people think this is "kinda cool haha". I'm sorry, but this is certainly not what I signed up for in 2012.
Please start delivering systems and actual content instead of overhyped, bugged out stuff like this. I am so disheartened by the non existing progres in this game, and most importantly the people validating this bullshit. I'm sorry but this IS NOT okay.
You know you can buy this ship ingame? No need for real money on any of the ships. Im also thinking you have not checked any recent patch notes. Thank you either way for taking time out of your day to watch and comment on such a dead game you obviously don't enjoy. o7
This just tells me you haven't been playing the game recently. It is massively different than it was a few years ago. While still being buggy there is genuine fun to be had in this game.
