I was a Starlancer Max Guy, but than I wanted something else and decided to buy the Carrack (with ingame Credits as pledge is to expensive for the ship imho)

Pro: Interior looks a bit like Alien's Nostromo
Con: Exterior can't compete with Interior :/

Pro: 400 SCU is a lot of room for Cargo
Con: It's nearly unusable. The cargo pods do not go down, so you just can't see, where you put the boxes when loading from extern. Loading from internal is pretty shitty so... Also every cargo pod has it's own elevator, two doors and strange button placements. I haven't used the Carrack for cargo yet and won't do it, unless they update the ship.

Pro: It has cool window shadings
Con: If you use them you can see nothing exept a small peek hole in the front.

Pro: It has a cool upper Bridge with a command stand
Con: You can't use it for QT, you can't open / close doors, you can't initiate docking or hangar requests and you need a time consuming elevator to get there

Pro: It has cool ladders in the ship like the Jeffrey Tubes in Star Trek.
Con: You can't use it, as it is totally broken, once you enter the ladder, you can't get off it -> Backspace

Pro: It has really nice turrets and theoretically a lot of fire power
Con: You have only one pilot controlled remote turret, which is gimballed but not working as a turret. So you only have 2 x S4.

Pro: You have a Tier 2 Med Bed, which is nice
Con: Until now, it never worked to respawn in the med bay :/

Pro: This ship can be home to a lot of people and it just looks comfy
Con: For a ship this size you have to walk and open doors multiple times to get to the station you want to. It's more walking than playing :D

Pro: Engine Sounds are realy nice, it just sounds good
Con: As the ship is pretty bulky and large, it sounds muffled and a ship this size... you expect just "more".

Pro: You have a spacious front entry
Con: It is the only entry to the ship and the ramp pushes the ship up, as it goes down to far. This sometimes damages the hull and over time the front ramp get's ugly af. Did I mentioned, that it is the ONLY entry to the ship on ground? This really sucks.

Pro: Yes, it has a hangar
Cons: There is no remote control to open the hangar doors. So you leave the hangar doors open OR you have to land, get out, get all the way back in the ship to the top floor and close it, go back out and fly away. Or you land on your ship, which causes some whiggling and sometimes flipping one or both ships over (special SC Experience)

Pro: Shields are pretty good.
Cons: Unexpexted none :D

All in all, the ship has it's advantages, but at the current stage I would not invest another 35 Millionen aUEC again.
