An Architect Reviews the Mercury Star Runner [Star Citizen]

“In this video, I review this years most hotly anticipated Star Citizen ship the Mercury Star Runner by Crusader Industries, the M. Falcon of the SC universe. In this detailed review, I’ll highlight the good and the bad in a nearly 20 minutes”

In this video, the host reviews the highly anticipated Mercury Star Runner ship in the game Star Citizen. The ship is known for its asymmetrical design and is the first from Crusader, establishing a design language for future ships. The ship is nimble and can perform good maneuvers despite its larger size. It is armed with six size three turrets and has a data running feature.

The exterior design of the ship is praised, with a white on black color scheme and layered, contrasting design elements. However, there are some design flaws, such as the imbalance in the rear due to the missing center-mounted engine. The interior of the ship is well-lit and features a spacious cargo bay, an engineering space, a server room, and a scanning room. The recreation area and habitation spaces are well-designed and comfortable. The bridge offers good visibility and unique chair mechanics.

The ship also has some hidden features, including a secret compartment for smuggling and a vent system that allows access to various areas. However, there are major concerns with safety, as there are no escape pods and only one exit through the rear ramp. The reviewer suggests adding escape hatches or additional exits to address this issue.

Overall, the Mercury Star Runner receives praise for its design language and features, but there are significant design flaws and safety concerns that need to be addressed. The reviewer acknowledges that design is subjective and invites viewers to share their opinions. The video concludes with a reminder that viewers can enter a giveaway to win a Mercury Star Runner ship on the host’s Twitch channel.
