Role of the Reliant Series and Special Features

Watch this section: 04:00
The Reliant Series spans a variety of roles:

• Core: A nimble cargo hauler for small supply runs and supporting larger haulers.
• Tana: A lightweight fighter designed for outpost defense with upgraded shields and firepower.
• Sen: A mobile science vessel equipped with advanced sensors and long-range capabilities.
• Mako: A media ship outfitted for journalism, capturing the news with turret-mounted cameras and state-of-the-art optics.

Each ship in the series has its own specialty, but do these features live up to expectations? Billionaire Ninjas breaks down the pros and cons.

Why People Might Want the MISC Reliant Series

The Reliant Series is built for multiple roles, from small-scale cargo hauling with the Core, to exploration with the Sen, or even media content creation with the Mako. If you’re looking for a ship that can handle different gameplay styles, this series offers variety in spades.

For players looking to break into multi-crew ships, the Tana offers one of the cheapest ways to fly with a co-pilot. It’s a solid fighter that’s easy on the wallet, perfect for budget-conscious players who still want a taste of multi-crew action.

The Sen and Mako stand out with specialized gameplay: science and journalism. While the full potential of these roles hasn’t been unlocked in the game yet, players who want to be at the forefront of these professions can get in early with these ships.

Pilots who love immersive experiences will appreciate the panoramic cockpit views that the Reliant Series provides. Whether in combat or exploration, the wide field of view offers a great flying experience, making these ships especially fun to pilot.

These ships rank in the top five for speed in their class, making them agile and fast—perfect for dogfights or quick supply runs. For players who prioritize nimble ships, the Reliant Series offers an exciting flying experience.

The Core offers one of the cheapest ways to experience tractor beam gameplay, perfect for players who want entry-level access to cargo manipulation without splurging on larger ships.

As Star Citizen evolves, so will the Sen and Mako. When science and media gameplay loops are more fully developed, these ships will shine. Early adopters of these variants will be ready to jump into new roles as soon as those features are introduced.

Ship Specifications

In this section, you’ll get the hard data: size, speed, and crew capacity. While the Reliant ships offer good maneuverability and sit in the top five for speed in their class, they’re also weighed down by below-average fuel capacity, making long-haul flights a challenge without constant refueling. Is the trade-off worth it for their above-average speed?

Weapons and Combat Potential

Watch this section: 07:35
Get ready to arm up! The Core comes stock with size 2 Badger repeaters and Ignite missiles, but it’s the Tana that really packs a punch with extra missile launchers and size 3 Panther repeaters. Unfortunately, while the Sen and Mako have some firepower, they’re more suited to their specialized roles of exploration and media gathering. Billionaire Ninjas breaks down how each ship fares in combat and which variants deliver in battle.

Maneuverability and Fuel Capacity

Watch this section: 09:00
The Reliant Series ships are fast, nimble, and rank high in maneuverability, but they come up short when it comes to fuel capacity. These ships are best for local system travel, but interplanetary voyages could leave you stranded without proper planning or refueling support.

Pros and Cons of the Reliant Series

Watch this section: 12:00
Pros:

• Awesome cockpit views and intuitive layouts make these ships fun to fly.
• Tana is a solid choice for a budget-friendly fighter, and the Core‘s tractor beam and cargo capacity make it useful for small hauls.
• The Sen and Mako offer exciting potential for science and media gameplay once those loops are developed.

Cons:

• These ships are too large for their own good, which makes them easy targets in combat.
• The Core lacks basic amenities (beds, bathrooms) offered by cheaper or similarly priced ships, making it a hard sell compared to better alternatives.
• PvP potential for the Tana is lacking due to poor hull HP and low acceleration.

Final Ratings:
