I've been daily driving the TAC since it came out and it's the first time since alpha 2.0 that I have been perfectly happy with "my" ship and haven't felt the need to look left or right. I still have a Hermes for larger cargo missions and a Clipper for quick small-scale stuff, but the one I keep coming back to is the TAC. Weirdly, despite its attributed role, I think it best encapsulates the original dream that Chris sold us in 2012 of being able to live on your ship in this universe Han Solo style right now.

I love that it has a porthole that opens straight into space that you can easily get to from the cockpit, I love the front elevator, love the medbay, love that it can carry vehicles, and I'm a big fan of the interior layout. I do have some nitpicks, but overall I haven't owned a ship in SC since the original kickstarter that felt this much like delivering the dream of a spaceman doing spaceman things.

If I could, I would have them remove the dropseats, move the medbay into that area, maybe with a dedicated entry point from the outside, and extend the cargo bay further, possibly removing one of the elevators in the process. I guess the hangar could also grow a little by removing one of the hallways around it, but none of this will ever happen anyway.

So, for me, it's "the one" ship right now. I have tried making the solo spaceman play style happen since 2015 and have owned a lot of ships over the years that I thought might provide this. All of them have been melted now, but the TAC remains.

TAC is a great ship, with chops.  I get more use out of my TAC than I do my Asgard.  o7

Thanks for the video! The TAC is an incredible ship, though for me, it really shines when you're with a group of 4 or 5 people; personally, I find it too big to fly solo—though, of course, there are people who fly the Idris alone... Anyway, to sum it up: it has serious firepower for the pilot, medical beds, and a cargo area with room for small vehicles and even a small hangar. It’s amazing what you can do with this ship, and let's not forget the armor, not every fighter can actually damage it.

Great video. Also a big fan of the TAC since it came out. Also want to say that this video format and review for a lot of ships, I feel would be super helpful. Hearing you guys talk about various points and having a conversation about the various ships in the game would be really awesome.

Great vid!

im my org's misc fanboy and anytime they need a landing craft they call up me and my tac, love the starlancer series forever!

I consider it the mini Polaris for the occasions I can’t actually take the Polaris for some reason. Like parking.

I love the tac. A group of us were at a Lazarus site. A hornet mk2 ambushed my tac on the pad. Managed to get away with no side engines and no turrets. Only reason we didn't escape a lot sooner is because I forgot to retract my landing gear. This was before armor.

The TAC has been my "connie" since day 1 of it's release. I love the vibes it gives. It feels like a proper gunship to me. Bunkers and Hathors have been a blast for me.

I own both, IC:A and TAC. I agree, they are two completely different ships. I use both for different activities. I love the TAC, and feel that fleets can fit both ships and not have very much overlap. Cool video, I enjoyed listening to your conversation. o7

Just bought one of these ingame. Loving it so far!

Carrack has all the capabilities of the TAC and more. Bigger hangar, more cargo, better medbay, modularity (eventually lol). I think when/if the Carrack ever gets a gold pass (or a Mk2 we have to buy) it will be the natural point of progression from a TAC for everything except ground attack.

I have had the TAC since its release and love it.

There are a couple of things I would change like switching the armoury and the med bay as it feels weird people walking through the medical area, a slightly larger hangar or at least remove the railing in it so the Razor fits in there (it already fits in the cargo room so they would just be allowing rearm and refuel) and finally I would make the missile pods on the back switchable to tractor turrets or something - I simply never use the missile turrets.

If they make the new version of the Connie more like the TAC but with less armour and more designed for space combat it would make a lot of sense.

The other cool thing I would like would be a Greys Market ship that is a combination of the MAX, TAC and a Connie. TAC body Connie wings/nacelles and instead of the hangar or the current top turrets a big menacing looking quad size 5 manned turret that raises out of the hangar doors. Make it a single med bed in the front armoury, the armoury could then be where the escape pods are as Greys don't worry about those, and finally bring in a combo of the Connie and MAX lowering cargo deck with (a) tractor turret(s) to be able to steal cargo with.

It's the best daily driver for SOLO PvE, can do everything, any situation !

Right two things- first i have been attacked in the Tac more than another other ship. And bed log out- it has two inner thoughts ( like the Cutlass Black ) but i just cannot find the correct inner thought wheel so cannot log out in bed. I tried but no thanks. I'll stick with the Phoenix,Shiv, or MSR for now.

I don’t think anyone needs to come to the Starlancer Tac’s defense. It’s awesome!

Day 5 of commenting on your videos

Bought one last night. Going to be fun

many good points. i have to just add. the TAC needs some minor changes, i think those changes start with its base starlancer max updates

SL tac is a great ship. Only problem to me is that in my main account bedlogging with it is broken. 😢

My org is too high on the persius. I can't talk them into crewing any other ship unless it's an idris...
