Origin 85X Review | Star Citizen 3.23 4K Gameplay

Finally, the review I've been waiting for. The ship of my people. When your ship parents look like dentist offices, be an 85x.

The 85x is my favorite ship for single human transport missions. If someone calls for help, I pull out the 85x. You can’t murder me while I take you home.

Best little snub there is. QD, Jump drive, and a second seat... It just needs a little rework because it hasn't been touched in years.

My first in-game purchase immediately after I watched the original review! Never regretted this! It’s the perfect “well, hop in, let’s go” ship!

Surprised and pleased to see the 85x getting airtime! I bought it in-game, it proved so useful as a taxi I CCU'd an LTI token to it. It carries 2 people and some gear. It's spawn time is 1 minute or now for 502aUEC. It's not too shabby in combat but it's easy to black and red out with G-Safe off. I generally run 2x ballistic cannons on the wings and 2x laser cannons on the turret, and an Atlas drive to get across Stanton. Whether it proves useful elsewhere is another matter but so far so good.

Greetings my friend, Farrister. I know it's been a while since I commented on one of your videos, but this one got my attention. I am the proud owner of an 85X, and I love it. To me it's like owning an MGB Sports car, only for space. It's fast, maneuverable and small. For passenger pickups, it's perfect. With only 2 seats, there is very little chance of you being shot by your passenger if they are disreputable. I found that that out a long time ago when I first purchased it. I like the luxury styling of it. I also like that it fits in my Carrack hanger easily. I think it will even fit in the front garage on the ship as well, but that doesn't leave much room for rovers. Personally, I don't use mine for combat, that's why I own fighters. Being able to call it from one of the vehicle pads at outposts is also nice. I know that if one buys an 890, the hanger on it will hold 2 of them and it comes with one as part of the purchase, much as the C8 Pisces comes with the Carrack. Take care my friend. Fly safe and I'll see you in the verse.

One of my favorite parts of owning an 890, Love this little ship.

I could see this in the future when we get ferrying missions this being sort of a "limousine" of sorts for a well heeled NPC for system wide transport.

Some paints for it, one day. I like the quite generous internal storage they added "recently". I played it with 4 scatterguns as you can outmaneuver and do bold moves - especially around larger ships - very easily with it.

85x is basically the car of SC. Like a normal car the entire point is from point a to b and easy to get around. I think this is a great snub. I think I will get it in game when I get my bmm

I am a big fan of the 85X. All the points you made. I wanted a two-seater for carrying friends and discovered all the good things about the little ship. Well worth owning.

Thank you, these other ships never get the reviews which they deserve.

Expedite Claim Time 0s for a snub(which can be claimed from outpost) with qd really awesome. I preferred Civilian A Atlus for quantum drive,fast enough and don't need to refuel when goes from Arc to MT.😊

The 85X costs next to nothing (roughly one outing in a Vulture) and has exactly one single minute claim time. Best taxi.

Two things this little runabout has over other snubs: your passenger can't interfere with you making it a perfect rescue vehicle (as the rescued can't shoot you in the back), and also the passenger can take over the remote turret giving you cover fire to the rear while you as the pilot try to escape or dodge enemy fire.

I'm a sucker for this interstellar sports car. On a side note, I wish Kruger Intergalactic would wise up and find out how to cram Quantum Drives into their snubs.

I love the 85X. You forgot to mention that the passenger can control the remote turret as well. I like to use it as a combat trainer for new players during my guiding sessions since its the smallest multi-crew ship in the game. Its usually in the hangar of my 890 or Carrack.

I absolutely love this little ship. I just wish it docked with the 400i, 600i, or the 890 jump, like an Origin version of the snub craft on the Andromeda line. for the 400i it could be a module swap this for the X1 bay.

back in the PO days this was my go to ship to shuttle from orison to PO

I think I have flown this at some point, and I liked it!! Thanks for the reminder Farrister!!
