The video presents a first impression and review of the Anvil Asgard in Star Citizen 4.1.1, with the reviewer declaring it as possibly the best ship of the year. The ship is praised for its affordability, priced at around 300 warbond and 310 with insurance, which is significantly cheaper than the Vulyrie despite offering superior features. The Asgard boasts impressive firepower with six size three weapons, two size five weapons for the co-pilot, and numerous missiles. Its veto engines are powerful and versatile, allowing quick travel across the game universe, though the reviewer notes they might be vulnerable to damage.
The interior design of the Asgard is highly praised, especially the cockpit, which features four MFDs and excellent visibility without a helmet. The ship is characterized as a military tactical vessel, with a spacious hallway, suit lockers, weapon racks, and comfortable quarters for two. The ship’s layout emphasizes practicality and accessibility, including easy-to-use doors and multiple exits. The reviewer highlights the ship’s large cargo space, which can accommodate bunkers, medical equipment, and even a tank, making it highly versatile for various missions.
In terms of performance, the Asgard is described as extremely fast and maneuverable. It can reach speeds of over 2000 m/s without boost and has a maximum nav speed of 1.75 km/s, showcasing its engine power. The ship is also noted for its agility, capable of fighting other ships effectively. The reviewer plans to equip it with six NDBs (Nuclear Delivery Bombs) to maximize its combat potential and emphasizes its suitability for bounty hunting and fleet operations.
The ship’s armament and turret capabilities are particularly emphasized. The turret provides 360° coverage, allowing firing in all directions except directly above, with the ability to target enemies from multiple angles. This makes it an excellent PvA (Player versus Environment/Player versus Player) ship, especially when accompanied by a friend. The reviewer praises the ship’s design for its versatility, cargo capacity, and combat readiness, suggesting it could be a “ship of the year” due to its comprehensive features and affordability compared to larger ships like the Idris.
Finally, the reviewer demonstrates the ship in action by undertaking a bounty mission, showcasing its agility, firepower, and survivability. Despite some minor setbacks, such as engaging smaller ships and a Constellation, the ship proves to be highly capable with a skilled pilot. The overall recommendation is to rent and test the Asgard personally before purchasing, as it offers a well-rounded, powerful, and versatile experience.
