The video tests which ships the Drake Golem OX cargo ship can fit into, finding it compatible with larger ships like the Idris, Hercules variants, and Polaris, but not smaller or narrower hangars such as the Argo or Corsair. The host concludes that while the Golem OX can serve as a mini cargo ship, its practical value may lie in specialized roles like carrying weapons or rearming capital ships rather than general cargo transport.
In this video, the host begins by introducing the Drake Golem OX, a new cargo ship in Star Citizen, and sets out to test which ships the Golem OX can fit into. He starts by comparing the Golem OX to the regular Golem mining ship, noting that both share similar length and height, with the Golem OX being slightly wider. He demonstrates that both ships can be easily parked inside the self-land hangar, including parking on the sides, highlighting the compact size of these ships.
The testing then moves on to various larger ships, starting alphabetically with the Idris. The host shows that two Golem OX ships can be parked side by side inside the Idris, even with full cargo load. However, the Golem OX does not fit into the Argo hangar of the Eaters due to width constraints. Similarly, the Anvil Asgard cannot accommodate the Golem OX in its hangar, but the host questions the need to fit it there given the Asgard’s larger cargo capacity.
Next, the host tests the Golem OX in the Carrack and Hercules ships. While it physically fits into the Carrack’s hangar, the height is problematic, requiring the landing gear to be retracted and using the cargo as a makeshift landing gear, which is not recommended. The Hercules A2, C2, and M2 variants can fit the Golem OX, with the possibility of fitting two inside the Hercules, though the host notes the Hercules already has ample cargo space, making this somewhat redundant.
The video continues with tests on other Drake ships such as the Corsair and Perseus. The Golem OX does not fit inside the Corsair due to width issues, and neither the Golem nor the Golem OX fit inside the Perseus. Finally, the Polaris is tested, where the Golem OX fits comfortably in both the cargo and top hangers, with the ability to park up to three Golem OX ships in the Polaris top hanger.
In conclusion, the host reflects on the practical uses of the Golem OX, suggesting that while it can serve as a mini cargo ship similar to the Argo Raft, it may be more valuable for specialized roles such as carrying bombs, weapons, or missiles for capital ships. Its utility in rearming or transferring cargo on larger ships could justify its use, whereas for straightforward cargo runs, other ships like the Argo Raft might be more efficient. The video ends with a promise to continue testing the cargo functionality of the Golem OX in future episodes.
