The video features a discussion between XQ and Agrid, focusing on recent and upcoming developments in Star Citizen, particularly around ships and their prices. They start by acknowledging Agrid’s health issues, which might affect their long streaming session planned from early morning until 11 a.m. They review various ships, including upgrades and new releases, offering insights into their utility, value, and current state in the game. They emphasize that many ships are overpriced relative to their gameplay and utility, advocating for players to consider in-game earning strategies rather than outright purchases.
The conversation covers specific ships like the Anvil Invictus 2025, the F7A, and the Arrow, highlighting their strengths and limitations. They note that certain ships, like the F7A, are no longer obtainable, making them more desirable, while others like the Arrow remain in the meta due to their affordability and versatility. They also discuss upcoming ships like the Asgard, expressing surprise at its lower-than-expected price, and speculate about its potential for growth and modularity, expecting it to increase in size and capability over time.
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the value proposition of various ships, especially large and ground vehicles. They criticize the high prices of ground vehicles like the Ballista, Spartan, and Centurion, emphasizing that they offer poor value for in-game credits and suggesting players should avoid buying them outright. Instead, they recommend acquiring ships through in-game earning and waiting for in-game sales or upgrades, which tend to be more cost-effective. They also highlight the importance of future-proofing purchases with upgrade tokens to maximize long-term value.
The video further delves into specific ships such as the Carrick, Crucible, and Liberator, analyzing their design, purpose, and potential for future growth. They point out that many large ships are likely to be reworked or expanded, especially the Crucible, which they believe will grow to accommodate larger ships and modules. They stress the importance of patience and strategic buying, suggesting that holding onto upgrade tokens can significantly increase the value of ships as the game evolves. The hosts also touch on the current state of gameplay for various ships, noting that some, like the Guardian MX and the Tracker, are underwhelming due to lack of features and gameplay.
In conclusion, the hosts express a cautious optimism about the future of Star Citizen’s ship lineup, emphasizing that many ships are worth waiting for or upgrading rather than buying at their current prices. They highlight the importance of understanding game mechanics, future updates, and modularity when making purchasing decisions. They also encourage viewers to experience ships like the Reclaimer and the Fleet Free ships for a unique gameplay experience.
