The video showcases two new vehicles in PTU 4.1: the Atlas Geo, designed for mining smaller rocks with features like a deployable weapon rack and a tractor beam, and the Drake Golem, which combines elements from other vehicles and offers custom mining capabilities. The host tests both vehicles in space and on the surface of Aberdine, encountering some technical issues but ultimately finding that both vehicles effectively fulfill their intended roles.
In the video, the host introduces two new vehicles added to the PTU 4.1: the Atlas Geo and the Drake Golem. The host begins by exploring the Atlas Geo, which is built on the Atlas platform. They examine various features, including a deployable weapon rack, storage space, and a power cell. The Atlas is designed for mining smaller rocks and has functionalities similar to the ROC (Resource Operating Console), including a tractor beam for collecting resources. The host also notes the presence of a health indicator and a battery that requires charging, emphasizing the vehicle’s unique characteristics.
Next, the host transitions to the Drake Golem, describing its design as a blend of elements from other vehicles, such as the engine from a Cutter and the cockpit from a Mule. They explore the exterior and interior of the Golem, noting the storage capabilities and the location of critical components like the power plant and shield generator. The host mentions the Golem’s mining capabilities and its custom mining laser, which they plan to test in the field. The exploration of the Golem reveals its lightweight feel and nimbleness, crucial for maneuvering during mining operations.
Afterward, the host takes both vehicles into space aboard the Polaris. They attempt to test the Atlas Geo’s functionality in an EVA (extravehicular activity) environment, but find that it does not perform as expected in space. The Atlas features its own lights, which the host appreciates, but they ultimately have to return it to the ship. The host expresses confusion about the purpose of testing in space, as the vehicle seems to be more suited for ground operations.
The video then shifts focus to the Golem, where the host conducts a mining test on the surface of Aberdine. They encounter various minable resources and explore the Golem’s mining capabilities, noting the differences from the Atlas. The host experiences some technical issues, such as the mining head appearing damaged and the jump jet not functioning correctly. Despite these hiccups, they continue to test the vehicle’s performance and storage capabilities while mining.
Towards the end of the video, the host reflects on their experience with both vehicles, acknowledging the server errors and crashes they encountered during testing. They conclude that both the Atlas Geo and the Drake Golem fulfill their intended roles effectively, despite some technical challenges. The video wraps up with the host thanking viewers for watching and promising to provide more content in the future, leaving the audience with a sense of anticipation for further updates on these new vehicles.
