In this episode of their Star Citizen gameplay series aboard the Drake Caterpillar named Emu Express, the crew continues their search for new night vision weapon optics. The day begins with a focus on logistics, as they discuss recent changes to the game, including increased enemy AI activity during distribution center missions. The crew experiences some technical difficulties with the Caterpillar’s door controls, opting to use the elevator for safer exit. They engage in combat with hostile AI while collecting loot, but unfortunately, they do not find the desired optics.
As the day progresses, the crew shifts their focus to organizing supplies onboard the ship. They visit various locations to purchase essential items like ammo and med pens, and they notice improvements in NPC behavior due to a recent backend upgrade. The crew emphasizes the importance of creating a comfortable living space within the ship, discussing how to maximize storage and organize their supplies effectively. They also plan to incorporate a medical vehicle, the nurser, into their logistics setup.
The crew faces challenges when trying to load the nurser onto the ship, discovering that the Caterpillar’s design limits their ability to fit larger vehicles. They decide to remove the wheels from the nurser to make it more manageable, leading to a humorous moment where they must shoot off the wheels to achieve this. After successfully removing the wheels, they contemplate the best way to repair the nurser before reloading it into the ship.
During their attempts to organize and load the ship, the crew encounters strange server behavior, including their ships disappearing and unusual interactions with the environment. After switching to a fresh server, they retrieve the nurser, now without wheels, and manage to fit it into the Caterpillar. This allows them to create a makeshift medical bay, achieving one of their logistical goals for the ship.
As the episode concludes, the crew prepares to participate in the Blockade Runner event, which promises a mix of cargo hauling, ship combat, and potential PvP encounters. They decide to split the content into two episodes, with this one focusing on logistics and the next on the action of the event. The video wraps up with a giveaway announcement and gratitude towards their viewers and supporters, highlighting the community aspect of their gaming experience.
