The video presents a strong stealth-focused loadout for the Constellation Taurus in Star Citizen, featuring components that minimize electromagnetic and infrared signatures, such as stealth coolers, a stealth power plant, and a stealth Quantum Drive. It also discusses tactical strategies for engaging enemies while maintaining stealth, including options for weaponry and shield management, and concludes with gameplay footage demonstrating the loadout’s effectiveness in combat.
In this video, the creator discusses a strong loadout for the Constellation Taurus in Star Citizen, emphasizing the importance of stealth components rather than military-grade parts. The loadout includes two stealth coolers (Stealth A Nightfall), one stealth power plant (Eclipse), and a stealth Quantum Drive (Spul Spiky). The ship is equipped with a size 3 industrial shield generator (Parapet), which offers high shield strength and regeneration. The creator explains that the stealth loadout is designed to minimize the ship’s electromagnetic (EM) and infrared (IR) signatures, allowing it to engage enemies with a tactical advantage.
The video highlights the Taurus’s minimum cross-section when facing an enemy head-on, which is 4,900. By disabling certain systems like shields, one cooler, and weapon power, players can achieve lower EM and IR signatures. However, this stealth approach limits weapon power during combat. If players opt to use energy weapons, they can equip two stealth power plants to maintain a balance between weapon power and stealth. The creator advises keeping shields down during stealth maneuvers to further reduce the EM signature, as using a size 3 shield increases the signature significantly.
The video also discusses the importance of the Quantum Drive in maintaining stealth. When activated, the EM signature spikes, so using a stealth Quantum Drive helps manage this issue. The creator demonstrates how to approach enemies while keeping the EM signature low and suggests that players can engage in combat by turning on the shields for maximum protection. The loadout is adaptable, allowing for a strong defense while maintaining stealth capabilities.
Additionally, the creator presents a second loadout option featuring the AD5 Beast Bliss cannons. This variant allows players to operate with just one power plant, freeing up power for shields and engines while still maintaining a relatively low EM signature. By turning off the shields before engaging in stealth reconnaissance, players can further decrease their signatures. This loadout is designed for those who prefer ballistic weapons while still leveraging the stealth advantages of the Taurus.
Towards the end of the video, the creator shows how to acquire the necessary components for the loadout at Grim Hex, including the stealth Quantum Drive and shield generator. They also discuss missile options, recommending against using R2 missiles due to their short lock range. Instead, the creator suggests using Dominator 2 missiles for long-range engagements. The video concludes with gameplay footage demonstrating the effectiveness of the loadout in combat, showcasing the Taurus’s versatility and power while highlighting its stealth capabilities.
