In the video, the hosts express disappointment with the current Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) and the recent nerfs to popular Drake ships, which they feel detract from the overall enjoyment of Star Citizen. They reminisce about past events that generated excitement and invite viewers to share their thoughts, while maintaining a glimmer of hope for future improvements in the game.
In the video titled “Feeling BLEH about IAE? Us too | Drake | Star Citizen Commentary w/ RootedAdmin,” the hosts discuss their feelings regarding the current state of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) and specifically the Drake Day event. They express a sense of disappointment and disillusionment with the recent changes made to ships in the game, particularly the nerfing of some of their favorite vessels. They reminisce about past IAE events where new ships added excitement to the game, but this year feels lackluster as players feel they have lost more than they gained.
The hosts, Family Double No and RootedAdmin, share their personal experiences with various Drake ships, such as the Cutlass series and the Caterpillar. They highlight the unique features and capabilities of these ships, while also pointing out their grievances about the recent nerfs, which they believe diminish the enjoyment of the game. They discuss the importance of having ships that players want to buy and use, and how the current offerings feel insufficient to meet their expectations.
As they explore the Drake ships available at the expo, they provide commentary on each vessel’s design, functionality, and their own preferences. They mention the Cutter, which they consider a decent starter ship but not suitable for their needs, and the Caterpillar, which has a complicated interior layout. The hosts also touch on the new Cutter variants, expressing skepticism about their utility and voicing concerns about the overall direction of ship development in the game.
The conversation shifts to the Corsair, which has been nerfed due to its perceived overperformance in the game. The hosts express frustration over the decision to nerf popular ships rather than improving underperforming ones, indicating a broader dissatisfaction with the game’s development strategy. They feel that the nerfs are not justified and that they detract from the overall gameplay experience, leading to a sense of resignation among longtime players.
In conclusion, the hosts convey their disappointment with the current state of Star Citizen and the IAE, feeling that the excitement of previous years has been replaced with frustration over ship nerfs and a lack of meaningful updates. They invite viewers to share their own thoughts and experiences in the comments, seeking a sense of community and support amidst their shared discontent. Despite their frustrations, they remain hopeful that the game can improve and that future updates will bring back the excitement they once felt.
