The video explores the functionality of the Carrack’s new cargo pods introduced in the 4.0 update, demonstrating how to load and maneuver cargo, particularly emphasizing the challenges of fitting larger boxes and the importance of teamwork for efficient loading. It highlights the Carrack’s capacity for medium-level cargo hauling, with a maximum of 336 SCU across three pods, while also showcasing the ship’s navigation challenges during transit to deliver cargo.
In the video, the presenter tests the new cargo pods for the Carrack in the 4.0 update, exploring their functionality and potential for cargo hauling missions. The Carrack’s cargo pods can be accessed from both the inside and outside of the ship, although opening them from the outside can be tricky. The video highlights that while the cargo pods are designed to lower down to the ground, they currently remain elevated, similar to the Caterpillar’s design. The presenter demonstrates how to operate the cargo pod buttons from the inside, which control the opening and closing of the starboard and port sides.
The video focuses on loading cargo into the Carrack’s pods, revealing that the maximum size cargo box that can snap into the pods is 16 SCU (Standard Cargo Units). While 32 SCU boxes cannot snap into the cargo pods, they can be placed inside the Carrack itself. The presenter notes that it is possible to fit one 32 SCU box in each pod, but the limited space and the presence of the elevator restrict the ability to load multiple larger boxes. Overall, the Carrack is well-suited for medium-level cargo hauling missions that primarily use 16 SCU boxes.
The presenter demonstrates the challenges of maneuvering cargo boxes within the confined space of the Carrack. The video showcases the difficulty of snapping boxes together, particularly when trying to stack them. The presenter finds that solo players may struggle significantly with this task, often requiring the assistance of another player to properly position and snap boxes together. The video suggests that teamwork is essential for efficiently loading cargo into the Carrack’s pods, especially when dealing with larger boxes.
In terms of cargo capacity, the Carrack can hold a maximum of 76 SCU per cargo pod, with a total potential capacity of 336 SCU across three pods. However, the presenter highlights that maximizing this capacity can lead to wasted space if not managed properly. The video discusses the importance of using smaller boxes in conjunction with larger ones to optimize cargo space, suggesting that players consider their cargo choices carefully when planning hauling missions.
Finally, the presenter concludes the video by demonstrating the Carrack’s capabilities in transit, as they prepare to deliver cargo to Pyro. The video showcases the approach to a jump gate and the challenges faced during the jump process, emphasizing the need for careful navigation. Overall, the video serves as a comprehensive guide on how to effectively utilize the Carrack’s cargo pods for hauling missions, while also highlighting both the advantages and challenges of the new cargo system.
