In the video, hosts Execute and John discuss the Atlas Geo, a new mining vehicle in Star Citizen, highlighting its enhanced mobility and potential for group mining and cave exploration.

In this video, the hosts, Execute and John, discuss the Atlas Geo, a new mining vehicle in the game Star Citizen. John fills in for Agrid, who is unwell. The video serves as a supplemental piece to a previous recording about the Golem and is intended to be shorter. They touch on the Atlas Geo’s design, with John humorously referring to the suit as the “Beetle Juice suit” due to its appearance. They emphasize the importance of keeping an eye on your ship while mining to avoid pirate attacks.
The hosts delve into the functionality of the Atlas Geo, noting that it operates similarly to the existing Rock mining vehicle but offers enhanced mobility, especially in mountainous terrain. John expresses that the Geo could be particularly useful in group mining activities and cave exploration, where its ability to hover and maneuver makes it advantageous. They also discuss the potential for interchangeable backpacks, suggesting that future variations could cater to different gameplay needs, such as oxygen supply or cargo capacity.
Despite the advantages of the Atlas Geo, Execute expresses skepticism about its value compared to the Rock and Rock DS vehicles. He points out that while the Geo’s mobility is appealing, it may not justify the price, especially since players can earn vehicles in-game. John shares a similar sentiment, indicating a preference for the original Rock vehicle over the Atlas Geo, primarily due to its established utility.
The video also touches on the economics of purchasing the Atlas Geo, with Execute and John discussing the pricing strategies of the game developers. They highlight the disparity between the Geo’s price and the value of other vehicles, suggesting that the Geo may feel overpriced for what it offers. They encourage viewers to consider waiting for the vehicle to become available in-game rather than purchasing it outright, particularly since previous vehicles have been introduced relatively quickly after their launch.
In conclusion, the hosts invite viewers to share their thoughts on the Atlas Geo in the comments, specifically asking why someone might choose to buy it over the Rock. They emphasize the importance of community feedback and encourage players to engage with the game content thoughtfully. The video wraps up with the hosts acknowledging the potential for fun and shenanigans with the new vehicle while maintaining a critical perspective on its pricing and overall value in the game.
