The video thoroughly tests the Drake Clipper’s cargo capacity, vehicle storage, long-distance travel endurance, and limited combat abilities, confirming it can carry multiple hover bikes and full cargo while being vulnerable in fights. The creator answers viewer questions, demonstrates fun in-game mechanics, and concludes that the Clipper excels as a transport ship but is not suited for serious combat.
In this video, the creator addresses several viewer questions about the Drake Clipper ship in Star Citizen, beginning with whether an Atlas ship can fit inside the Clipper. After testing, it is confirmed that the Atlas, due to its height, does not fit inside the Clipper. However, the creator demonstrates a glitch using a tractor beam that can force the Atlas inside, though this method is unstable and not recommended as it can cause the ship to jump floors or be lost.
Next, the video explores the possibility of filling the Clipper’s cargo grid with 12 SCU of cargo and then adding hover bikes onboard. The creator successfully loads two hover bikes (Pulse models) alongside the full cargo grid, though maneuvering the bikes inside is tricky due to erratic physics. They then add a larger Dragonfly hover bike, showing that the Clipper can hold three hover bikes plus 12 SCU of cargo simultaneously, demonstrating impressive storage capacity.
The creator takes the loaded Clipper on a long quantum travel from Crusader to Pyro 4, confirming that the ship maintains ample quantum fuel reserves for extended journeys even when fully loaded. Upon landing, all cargo and hover bikes remain intact, showcasing the Clipper’s durability and reliability for transporting goods and vehicles over long distances. The creator also enjoys some light-hearted fun by driving the Dragonfly on water, highlighting the versatility and enjoyment of using hover bikes in the game.
Finally, the video addresses a viewer’s request for a combat test with the Drake Clipper. Despite equipping the Clipper with four size three laser repeaters and 16 size two rattler missiles, the creator struggles in combat, taking heavy damage quickly due to the ship’s fragile shields and low hull health. They admit that their personal combat skills may be lacking but conclude that the Clipper is not designed for serious combat, recommending running away from hostile players rather than engaging.
Overall, the video provides useful insights into the Drake Clipper’s cargo capacity, vehicle compatibility, long-distance travel capabilities, and limited combat effectiveness. The creator answers viewer questions thoroughly while also sharing entertaining moments, making it an informative and enjoyable watch for Star Citizen enthusiasts interested in this versatile transport ship.
