In this video titled “Fix Dead Ships - But it’s Useless [Star Citizen],” the content creator discusses the Argo SRV, a new Tugboat spaceship in the game Star Citizen. The ship is designed to tow disabled ships into port for repairs, but the creator finds it impractical in its current state. They had hoped that it would be useful for towing disabled ships with valuable cargo, but encountered several issues during testing. The SRV struggled to tow heavy ships in a planetary gravity well and could not take them into Quantum. Furthermore, the creator argues that there are already more efficient ways to accomplish tasks such as mining or salvaging, making the SRV seemingly unnecessary. They conclude that the ship has become more of a meme than a practical asset, expressing frustration that it could have been more useful if the tractor beam was rebalanced to tow bigger ships.
The creator acknowledges that the SRV may have more value in the future as the game develops further and larger ships can be towed by groups of SRVs. However, they express disappointment in its current lack of practicality. They believe the ship could be made more useful by allowing it to tow high-value hauling ships with valuable cargo. They question why the ship was designed this way, particularly when a preview video showed it towing a caterpillar to imply its use for bringing disabled ships back to port for repairs. The creator invites feedback from viewers if they can think of better use cases for the SRV in its current state, but emphasizes that they are specifically discussing the ship’s usefulness in the present version of Star Citizen.
In conclusion, the video highlights the impracticality of the Argo SRV in its current state within Star Citizen. Despite its intended purpose of towing disabled ships to port for repairs, the SRV faces limitations when it comes to towing heavy ships in a planetary gravity well and taking them into Quantum. The content creator argues that there are already more efficient alternatives for tasks such as mining and salvaging, rendering the SRV less useful in those scenarios. Ultimately, the SRV has become more of a meme than a practical tool, disappointing the creator who believes it could have been made more useful with a simple rebalance of its tractor beam capabilities.
