The creator intended to use the Hull A as a scout ship for their 890 Jump in Star Citizen but encountered a persistent bug that caused the Hull A to explode when lowering its ramp inside the hangar, forcing them to switch to the smaller but reliable Nomad instead. They plan to use the Nomad for scouting and small cargo runs while relying on the 890 Jump as a mobile base and larger hauler, aiming for a self-sufficient gameplay style without frequent trips to space stations.
In this video, the creator revisits the topic of outfitting their 890 Jump capital ship in Star Citizen, focusing on selecting a suitable scout ship to carry inside it. They initially considered two options: the Hull A and the Nomad. The Hull A appealed due to its larger cargo capacity of 62 units compared to the Nomad’s 24 units. However, the creator encountered a significant bug with the Hull A that prevented it from being properly loaded into the 890 Jump, which forced them to reconsider their choice.
The issue with the Hull A involved the ship blowing up immediately when attempting to lower its ramp inside the 890 Jump’s hangar. The creator tested this multiple times in different locations, including a space station and a remote spot in space, but the problem persisted. They speculated that the issue might be related to the fact that the Hull A was a hired ship, but they were unsure if that was the cause. This bug ultimately made the Hull A unusable as a scout ship for their purposes.
Due to this limitation, the creator decided to go with the Nomad instead. While the Nomad has a smaller cargo capacity (24 units), it is a nimble and reliable ship that the creator likes. They demonstrated how the Nomad fits well inside the 890 Jump and highlighted its unique feature of floating slightly above ground when landed, which can take some getting used to. Despite the smaller cargo hold, the Nomad allows for quick trips to pick up small cargo runs around areas like Pyro, making it a practical choice for scouting and buying cargo.
The creator explained their intended playstyle with the Nomad and 890 Jump combo: using the Nomad to scout, buy, and transport smaller cargo items back to the 890 Jump, which serves as a mobile base and larger cargo hauler. For larger cargo hauls, they plan to use other bigger ships or make multiple trips. This approach supports a lifestyle of living and operating out of space without frequent trips back to space stations, allowing for a more immersive and self-sufficient experience in the game.
Towards the end, the creator invited viewers to share their experiences and suggestions, especially if anyone has successfully used the Hull A or other cargo ships with the 890 Jump. They also promoted their other content, including a secondary channel focused on RTS games, and encouraged viewers to subscribe, join their Discord, and support the channel. The video closes with appreciation for the community and anticipation of future gameplay and cargo-running videos in Star Citizen.
