MISC RAZOR

[GRIZZ]

MISC makes a bid for the next Murray Cup with the all-new Razor. This advanced racer features an advanced composite space frame that puts pure speed ahead of everything else… it’s the ship for pilots who want to leave the competition in the dust.

Introductory Sale price $135   ($120 WarBond Edition if you pay full cash now, or $135 if you use credits)

Unlike MISC’s standard lines of commercial freighters, explorers and science vessels, the Razor was not constructed for the working pilot. Instead, it was designed with a singular purpose: place in the 2947 Murray Cup. Years of advanced aerospace design, consultation with Xi’An engineering partners and thousands of flight tests have produced a racing ship that burns faster for longer.

Featuring cutting edge fuel collections systems, minimal cross-section, sleek aerodynamic lines and proprietary Xi’An influenced thruster design, the Razor provides unparalleled speed with MISC dependability and endurance.

Previous Star Citizen racing ships have been designed with a dual role in mind or as adaptations of existing ships (the Mustang Gamma and 350R). The Razor was intended to be a racer from the skids up. Like the M50 interceptor, the Razor’s natural abilities will make it effective for speed-related missions off the racetrack … but unlike the M50, that was a completely secondary concern.

Want to learn more about the MISC Razor? You can find an in-universe brochure with details about the ship’s debut and role in a racing team below. Even if you aren’t interested in picking up a speedy new spacecraft, it’s a great artifact directly from Star Citizen’s universe for backers to explore.

I think that must be the ugliest ship yet to come out ..... it's like a cross between a F1 car and one of those cheap ass RC helicopters for kids. 

[Donut]

No effort was put into it. "I have a great idea! Let's take the wheels off and add jet engines!"

The concepts they showed looked better than that. Also at $135? They didn't even follow the misc styling either. 

[Danakar Endeel]

Personally I'd go with the M50 to be honest. This Razor just doesn't feel or look all that interesting to me as it just looks like a generic F1 car without wheels. The price ($120-$135) also seems rather off compared to the M50 which was $90 during its first concept sale.

[GeraldEvans]

And here I was hoping for a Dragonfly competitor. Bummer.

[GRIZZ]

I like it, I'm not much of a racer, but I like all the protrusions and angled wingtips sticking off the sleek hull.

 

[Jaxley]

It's kinda neat, but it just doesn't speak to me.

Imma stick wit mah em-fiddy.

Emmm-fiddy.

Now we have to see the balance between thrust and manoevrability 
The racer lineup seems to have now a few contenders (350R, M50, Mustang Gamma, P52, 85x and now the Razor) this will surely add diversity and allow us to choose the ship that best fit our "drive style" 

[danredda]

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I love the design.

[Donut]

The 85x fly's like a drunk senior citizen lol The Razor has relatively small engines and lots of thrusters so I hope it does good. But it's over priced and under developed.

[Basard]

Looks too much like an M50 with the price tag being alot higher.

CIG's pricing of late has been iffy on some of the newer ship sales, this ship is around 50% more than the M50.

[GeraldEvans]

Two size two weapon mounts though. Double the weapon size at the cost of two missiles.

Also, short enough to fit five of them in the Cat.

[danredda]

Half the weight, with the same thrust (2x TR2), says to me this ship is going to be faster or about the same as the M50

I see this comment a lot, but it's contrasted by another popular opinion of prioritizing realism over game mechanics/hand waving". I say contrast because most racing vehicles in a particular category (boats, cars, etc.) look INCREDIBLY similar. All things considered, this looks starkly different from the M50 (wings, fuselage contours) outside of being a small, single-seat racing ship. I expect we'll see probably two or three more in the same vein, honestly.

How the hell can it shoot down and completely destroy a (reworked) Cutlass??

While it does look cool, I have to say, its design is too close to the M50, I imagined that it would resemble a smaller, streamlined version of the Scout... being MISC and all.

The Scout (aka the Khartu al) is made by Aopoa, not MISC.

[Sky Captain]

Great looking ship.  I like it.

Marketing 101 - showing it do something that people go "wow" to. Something MISC would definitely use to promote their unusual ship.

I took it more like the Razor rolled in quickly and shot up one Cutlass while the crew was doing something on the ground, and the second Cutlass is taking off to engage.

Good point.  I thought that it would've been a bit more unique to have a racer with some verticality in their design... oh well.  Maybe its a bit more maneuverable than the M50 with its Xian-like engines?

Hmm, this is the second time MISC specifically destroys Drake ships (Freelancer ad and now this), looks like they really have some beef with them

It looks like an M50 cross-bred with an F1 car. Don't like it at all. 

Try again, CIG.

That is exactly why I do love it.

You can't make ships everyone likes.

@GRIZZ - please add this CIG vid to your OP - thanks

[Booster Terrik]

tell me again why a ship with 10 maneuvering thrusters needs flaps, ailerons and elevators? Fuel efficiency maybe?
