The video analyzes the Envil Paladin, a heavy gunship in Star Citizen, highlighting its impressive firepower, including a main turret with four size five laser guns, and the requirement for a four-member crew to operate effectively. It also details the ship’s interior layout, armament, specifications, and purchasing options, emphasizing its role as a dedicated combat vessel rather than a drop ship.
The video discusses the unveiling of the Envil Paladin, a concept ship in the Star Citizen universe, during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2954. The Paladin is described as a Valkyrie-sized heavy gunship, designed for offensive and defensive operations. Envil Aerospace, known for its role in humanity’s defense, has equipped the Paladin with formidable laser weaponry, including a heavyweight main turret featuring four size five burning laser guns. This turret is highlighted as the ship’s standout feature, capable of rotating 360 degrees for optimal coverage against threats.
The video details the ship’s turret configuration, emphasizing that while the main turret provides significant firepower, the pilot does not have direct control over it. Instead, the co-pilot manages the main turret, while side turrets with dual size four guns are operated by dedicated crew members. This setup necessitates a four-member crew to maximize the ship’s combat effectiveness, which includes a pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners. The video further explains the layout of the ship’s interior, which includes crew bunks, a resting area, and an armory, ensuring crew comfort during missions.
In terms of armament, the Paladin is equipped with six missile racks that enhance its long-range engagement capabilities, allowing it to draw enemies towards the main turret. The video highlights the ship’s overall design and functionality, noting that it is not a drop ship but rather a dedicated gunship intended for combat scenarios. The internal layout is designed to facilitate crew operations, with specific areas allocated for sleeping, resting, and storing equipment.
The video also provides detailed specifications of the Paladin, including its dimensions, crew requirements, and power systems. It mentions that the ship features a size three shield generator and two size two power plants, which are crucial for maintaining operational capabilities during combat. The Paladin’s tactical data is elaborated upon, covering aspects like coolers, life support, and thrusters, indicating that it is designed for sustained engagement in battle.
Lastly, the video discusses the pricing and purchasing options for the Paladin, including a promotional offer of a 10-year insurance policy for non-warbound pledges. It mentions the inclusion of a loaner ship, the Aegis Redeemer, for players while the Paladin is in development. The video concludes by noting the presence of a blast shield in the cockpit, which adds an extra layer of protection for the pilot and co-pilot during engagements.
