The video tests whether the Guardian MX can fit inside larger ships like the A90 Jump, Polaris, and Idris in Star Citizen, demonstrating it can fit into the A90 Jump and Idris with careful maneuvering. However, it cannot fit into the Polaris with the landing gear down, and retracting the gear inside the ship can cause glitches, making fitment more challenging.
In the video, the host introduces the newly released Guardian MX ship in Star Citizen and emphasizes the importance of knowing which larger ships it can fit into before considering adding it to a fleet. The host mentions three specific ships—A90 Jump, Polaris, and Idris—that are potential candidates for fitting the Guardian MX. The host proceeds to spawn the Guardian MX in their hangar for an initial inspection, noting its larger size and distinctive high landing gear compared to other Guardian variants like the Guardian Qi and base Guardian.
The host begins testing whether the Guardian MX can fit inside these larger ships by attempting to dock it in the A90 Jump first. After carefully maneuvering, they find that the Guardian MX can indeed fit into the A90 Jump, despite the tight clearance, especially with the ship’s height being pushed to its limits. The host confirms that the Guardian MX can be stored within the A90 Jump without significant issues, making it a viable option for players who want a smaller ship stored inside this large carrier.
Next, the host tests fitting the Guardian MX into the Polaris. They successfully land the ship inside, but note that the fit is very tight, with the top part barely clearing the ceiling. The host encounters difficulty closing the ship’s door due to the tight fit and warns against retracting the landing gear once inside, as doing so causes the ship to glitch or become stuck. Despite the challenges, the host confirms that the Guardian MX can fit into the Polaris, though it requires careful maneuvering and is not an ideal or seamless fit.
The host then attempts to fit the Guardian MX into the A90 Jump again, this time with the landing gear retracted. They find that retracting the gear increases the ship’s height, making the fit even tighter, but it is still possible to slide the Guardian MX inside and exit without issues. The host emphasizes that retracting landing gear inside the ship is not recommended, as it can cause glitches or the ship to become stuck outside. Overall, the host concludes that the Guardian MX can fit into the A90 Jump and Idris with some caution, but it does not fit into the Polaris when the landing gear is down.
In summary, the video demonstrates that the Guardian MX is compatible with the A90 Jump and Idris, with the possibility of fitting inside these ships with careful maneuvering. However, it does not fit into the Polaris when the landing gear is deployed, mainly due to height restrictions. The host highlights the importance of lowering the landing gear or retracting it carefully to ensure a proper fit, providing valuable insights for players planning their fleet and ship storage options in Star Citizen.
