He expresses his enthusiasm for the showcased ships and the ongoing development of the game, concluding with a light-hearted mention of a current mission.

In this video, the host, Law the West, returns to the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) for Day 4, which focuses on alien manufacturers. Having previously worked as security for Microtech, he humorously notes that he was fired after the footage was released, leading him to explore the expo in casual attire. He expresses excitement about this particular day at the expo, as it features ships from alien manufacturers, which he has been eager to see.

As Law walks through the exhibit, he comments on the various ships on display, including the Defender and the Glaive, a Vanduul heavy fighter that is undergoing a complete rework. He shares his mixed feelings about the rework, expressing nostalgia for the original version of the ship and his hope for an alternate version to be available. He takes time to appreciate the design and textures of the ships, while also addressing some technical issues he has been experiencing with his setup.

The host then explores the Prowler, a Tavoran dropship, highlighting its unique features such as individual air shields and an impressive interior. He critiques the Valkyrie, a competing ship, suggesting that adding air shields could resolve some of its design flaws. Law also discusses the Santokhye, a ship that initially garnered interest but seems to have fallen out of favor among players, reflecting on the challenges of balancing ship performance and player engagement.

Continuing his tour, Law examines the Talon and its variant, the Shrike, discussing their combat capabilities and how they have evolved over time. He shares insights about the Cartu Al and its scout ship designation, as well as the Blade, which he considers his favorite ship due to its design and functionality. He appreciates the aesthetic elements of the Vanduul ships, comparing their design to that of iconic sci-fi influences.

Finally, Law concludes his exploration with a look at the Xi’an ship, the Nox, and the Merchantman, discussing their features and the potential for future updates. He expresses a desire for the developers to make thoughtful decisions regarding ship mechanics and usability, particularly with cargo handling. Overall, he shares his enthusiasm for the alien ships showcased at the IAE and reflects on the ongoing development of the game, ending with a light-hearted mention of a current mission in the game world.
