In the video titled “DRAKE IAE 2024 DAY 7 | STAR CITIZEN,” the hosts discuss various aspects of Drake Interplanetary’s ships during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2024. They express their personal opinions about the Drake brand, with one host proudly identifying as a “Drake Fanboy,” despite the general perception that Drake ships are not well-regarded. The discussion highlights the utilitarian design of Drake ships, often described as cheap and almost expendable, which appeals to players who enjoy a more rugged, pirate-like aesthetic.
The hosts analyze specific ships, starting with the War Bond upgrade, noting that it offers a modest price reduction but isn’t the most exciting upgrade available. They delve into the Buccaneer, comparing it to other ships like the Cutlass Black and Gladius. While the Buccaneer has more firepower, the hosts argue that it lacks the overall value and performance of other fighters, suggesting that players should reconsider their investment in this ship. They also discuss the Caterpillar, emphasizing its unique flying mechanics and potential for future modularity, but express frustration over the long wait for these promised features.
The conversation shifts to the Corsair, which remains a popular choice despite recent nerfs. The hosts appreciate its design and versatility as a multi-crew ship, although they note that it may not excel in high-performance combat situations. They also touch on the Cutlass series, highlighting the enduring popularity of the Cutlass Black as a top-tier choice for players due to its flexibility and operational efficiency. The hosts express their admiration for its design and functionality, reinforcing its position as a staple in the Drake lineup.
As they discuss the Ironclad and its variants, the hosts speculate on the potential for new Drake ships that could cater to base-building gameplay. They highlight the Kraken as a versatile capital ship that could serve multiple roles, including acting as a mobile base for players. The conversation includes thoughts on how Drake’s focus has shifted toward civilian manufacturing and support roles, especially with the introduction of ships like the Vulture, which is praised as an excellent starter ship for the salvage profession.
In conclusion, the hosts reflect on the overall performance of Drake ships at the IAE, expressing skepticism about the future of certain models while remaining optimistic about others. They encourage viewers to share their thoughts on potential Kraken variants and other Drake ships, fostering a sense of community engagement. The video wraps up with the hosts promoting their respective channels and upcoming content, inviting viewers to join them in exploring the evolving landscape of Star Citizen.
