In this video, content creators embark on a challenging adventure to circumnavigate the planet Microtech in Star Citizen using dragonflies. They face changing weather conditions, terrain obstacles, and bike malfunctions, but manage to cover approximately 408 kilometers on their first day before deciding to pause and continue the journey the next day.
In this video, the content creators set out on an adventure to circumnavigate the planet Microtech in Star Citizen. They choose to use dragonflies, which are fun exploration vehicles, but can be dangerous in combat due to their high infrared signature. The planet presents challenges with its diverse terrain and extreme weather conditions. They plan to take regular distance checks and use triangulation to start each session where they left off in case of disconnections or bugs.
On the first day, they start their journey from New Babbage, heading west. They encounter a mix of flat ground, forests, and mountains while traversing through changing weather conditions. They are careful with their speeds to navigate through snow-covered forests and dense tree clusters. They find moments of respite on ice lakes, but these don’t last long. Rain’s bike sustains damage to its retro thrusters, making it difficult to slow down or reverse.
They decide to bring in a support pilot to take Rain’s bike for repair, while Naptime joins as a passenger on another bike. They continue their journey through forests and mountains, struggling with reduced visibility and low frame rates. They have to navigate carefully, making it through ridgelines and battling against strong winds. However, as the weather worsens, they choose to halt their progress for the day, planning to continue their journey in better conditions the next day.
After covering approximately 408 kilometers on their first day, they reflect on the lessons learned and express gratitude to their patrons for their support. They acknowledge that patrons like them make these videos possible. They conclude by encouraging viewers to use their referral code for extra credits when signing up for Star Citizen and promise to share more updates on their Microtech circumnavigation soon.
