In the video titled “Farrister’s Fleet & Why I Bought Ships (2025 Update) | Star Citizen 4.0 4K,” the content creator revisits their personal fleet of ships in Star Citizen, updating viewers on any changes and the rationale behind each ship’s selection. The creator emphasizes that while they have purchased some ships with real money for convenience in video production, most ships can be acquired using in-game currency. They clarify that the term “fleet” is used loosely, as they only plan to fly one ship at a time, tailored to different gameplay scenarios.
The creator discusses their approach to ship selection, which is influenced by both personal preference and the need to produce content for their channel. They aim to have a variety of ships that cater to different gameplay styles, from solo play to multi-crew operations. The intention is to ensure they have access to core gameplay loops while also being able to unlock additional ships through in-game currency. They acknowledge that the performance of ships may evolve over time, and they remain open to adjusting their fleet as the game develops.
The first category of ships discussed includes those intended for solo gameplay. The creator highlights the Crusader Industries Aries Inferno as their chosen starfighter for combat, despite its current limitations in PvP. They also mention the Misk Prospector and Expanse, which serve their industrial gameplay needs through mining and refining. Additionally, the Drake Vulture is included for salvaging purposes, reflecting the creator’s enjoyment of that gameplay style.
Next, the video covers ships that can accommodate solo or small group play, featuring the M2 Hercules and the Hull D. The M2 Hercules is valued for its cargo capacity and ease of use, while the Hull D was acquired due to a favorable price increase compared to the Hull C. The creator notes that the Hull D might require a crew in the future and is intended for larger-scale hauling and video content creation.
Finally, the creator expresses excitement about the Javelin class destroyer, which they envision using for multi-crew gameplay with a consistent group. They anticipate engaging in large-scale missions and hope to create content around these experiences. The video concludes with a reflection on the personal nature of ship ownership in Star Citizen, inviting viewers to share their own fleet choices and experiences in the comments. The creator encourages engagement through likes and subscriptions, emphasizing their appreciation for the audience’s support.
