The video tests the Anvil Carrack’s ship service capabilities in Star Citizen, confirming it can refuel and restock various ships, including Hornets and smaller fighters, even when partially inside its hangar, though repairs are currently inconsistent and limited by bugs. It also clarifies where ship service supplies can be purchased across Stanton and highlights that only ship owners or party members can utilize the Carrack’s services, with plans to explore the A90 Jump’s unique hangar next.
In this video, the creator continues testing the Anvil Carrack’s ship service capabilities in Star Citizen, focusing on which ships it can service. They begin by correcting a previous misconception about where ship service supplies can be purchased, highlighting that all major planetary stations in Stanton have admin centers offering these supplies, not just Lurville. They visit Orison, Area 18, and New Babbage to demonstrate where players can buy ammunition, decoys, hydrogen, quantum fuel, and repair materials.
The main testing involves loading the Carrack with various ship service supplies and experimenting with repairing, refueling, and rearming different ships. It is confirmed that only the ship owner or party members can use the Carrack’s services; random players cannot access these features. While restocking ammunition and refueling hydrogen and quantum fuel generally work well, repairing ships inside the Carrack is inconsistent and appears bugged in the current patch.
The tester tries servicing multiple ships, including the smaller 125A, M50 Fury, Razer EX, Hornet Mark I, Aurora Mark II, and others. The Carrack can restock and refuel these ships even if they are only partially inside the hangar or vehicle bay, which is impressive. However, there are limitations on repair functionality, and some larger ships like the FAC Lightning cannot be serviced effectively due to size constraints or distance issues.
An interesting discovery is that the Carrack can service multiple ships simultaneously, and it can also restock and repair ships in its vehicle bay, although ground vehicles like the Cyclone currently cannot be rearmed or repaired, which appears to be a bug. The video emphasizes the complexity and detail of Star Citizen’s ship service mechanics and the ongoing need for community feedback and bug reports.
The video concludes with anticipation for the next test on the A90 Jump, a ship with a unique hangar that can lift to the top of the ship, promising further exploration of ship service capabilities. Overall, the Carrack proves to be a versatile and valuable ship service platform, especially for servicing Hornets and other similarly sized ships, despite some current bugs and limitations.
