In this video, the player undertakes a series of four cargo hauling missions within the Stanton and Pyro systems in Star Citizen, deliberately avoiding one buggy mission. The total cargo volume exceeds the Gatac Tilu’s 96 SCU capacity, prompting the use of the Gollum OX for additional cargo space. The player begins by strategically loading cargo at various locations such as Lorville, Crew L5, Grim Hex, and Orison, utilizing tractor beams and carefully managing cargo placement to ensure items are snapped securely to the cargo grids, minimizing the risk of loss during transport.
The player demonstrates innovative cargo handling techniques, such as using tractor beams to move cargo directly onto the ship’s cargo grids without physically exiting the ship. At Grim Hex and Orison, the player efficiently transfers drugs and organics into designated compartments, employing the Gollum OX’s additional 64 SCU cargo grid to accommodate overflow. The video highlights the importance of precise cargo placement, especially in zero-G environments, to prevent cargo from drifting or being lost due to glitches.
Upon completing cargo pickup, the player proceeds to deliver the goods across multiple stations in the Pyro system, including Rods Fuel and Resupply Station, Starlight Service Station, Golden Rivera, Fallow Field, Sunset Mesa, and Pyro 6. Throughout the deliveries, the player encounters minor technical issues such as elevator glitches that temporarily prevent re-entry into the ship, but resolves them through quick thinking and alternative approaches. The use of free elevators and the ship’s tractor beams streamlines the unloading process, showcasing improvements in hauling and elevator responsiveness in the 4.8.2 patch.
The video also touches on situational awareness and security, with the player scanning for potential hostile players in the Pyro system, noting the presence of a lone player in a Drake Corsair but not encountering any threats. The player emphasizes the balance between cargo hauling and combat readiness, noting that while the Gatac Tilu is primarily a combat carrier, paired with the Gollum OX, it effectively functions as a cargo ship, earning the nickname “Gatac Tilu OX.”
In conclusion, the entire mission sequence takes approximately two hours and yields over two million AUEC in rewards. The video serves as a detailed demonstration of cargo hauling strategies, ship capabilities, and gameplay improvements in Star Citizen’s 4.8.2 update, highlighting the practical use of combined ship cargo grids, tractor beams, and elevator systems to enhance efficiency and reliability in interstellar hauling operations.
