The Hauler - The Pilot
- Thread starter The Pilot
- Start date
I used that once. I needed to land on a planet below to collect some mats. I was kind of lazy to re-equip my current ship with the srv hangar and did not want to wait for transport of my mats-collect-jumper. So I was kind of "why not?", purchased and A-rated it just for one time landing. Not sure if I sold it. Maybe it is still somewhere in shipyard.
You should. It's a fun little ship.
Don't even need to A-rate it. D-rated with Enhanced Thrusters and a souped up FSD is even more fun.
Oh dear, another The Pilot video!
Thank you kind sir, amusing as always and likewise, as always, forcing me to visit Coriolis.io and fit one out before doing just that in game - it is one of the ships I never tried...
Another brilliant take on another unloved ship!

Hmm....
Hauler is >by far< the cheapest ride that'll still serve you as a fully qualified Exploration Ship - or long-range bubble taxi.
And a Hauler can go well over 600m/sec. It isn't slow if you know how to Engineer it and keep it light, so the Enhanced Performance Thrusters can do their magic.
In a sense, it certainly qualifies for "best bang for the buck" if you're flipping Pennies.
(it's just that these Pennies have become worthless over time; the classic Ship progression and all the experience that it offers is a thing of the past)
Tiny and cheap, so it won't break any records. But that's not what it's made for.
Alot of things can be said about the Hauler but one thing it never did : it never made a CMDR poor.

There is exactly one thing the hauler is not completely garbage for:
s.orbis.zone
You can make it go stupidly fast.
Sure, it's no racing Eagle, more like a Civic Hatchback on the track, but at least it has that.

Smart! I didn't think of that.
I mean, I shouldn't have to think of that. But it's nice to know it's an option.

Yours I really must get around to copying one day soon

Here you go !
Excellent as ever. Looking forward to the other ships. (Clipper and Corvette in particular).
Exactly.
