In this Star Citizen gameplay video, the YouTuber from Skunk Works ORG explores the experience of flying an incomplete IDRIS ship armed with a railgun and manned by AI gunners. Despite the limitations, they engage in combat, witness the ship’s immense size and power, and leave eager for future possibilities in large-scale ship gameplay.
In this video, the YouTuber from Skunk Works ORG explores the gameplay experience of flying an IDRIS ship in Star Citizen 3.16. The journey begins in the gym town on Lyria, with the added excitement of having the IDRIS ship, which was stolen from a mission in the game. The ship, although incomplete with no interior or hood for the pilot, is armed with a railgun and manned by AI gunners. The YouTuber gets to experience the thrill of flying this massive ship and testing the railgun’s destructive power.
As they approach gym town, they encounter other ships, but nothing major at first. However, soon challenges arise as they engage in combat. The AI gunners, though not the best shots, make up in numbers and the YouTuber as the pilot has control over the railgun, capable of destroying almost anything in a single shot. They engage in battles with various ships, including a Hammerhead, while also facing multiple incoming enemy ships.
Despite the limitations of the incomplete and AI-controlled ship, the YouTuber enjoys the experience of flying the IDRIS. Its immense size and view, though lacking interior details, make for an awe-inspiring perspective. However, the IDRIS does not come out unscathed as it endures damage during combat encounters, including a crash that destroys the railgun.
Throughout the video, the YouTuber and their crew continue to defend gym town and face more enemy ships, including torpedo ships, retaliators, and eclipses. The AI gunners struggle to make accurate shots, and the YouTuber eventually runs out of fuel, leading to the decision to bring the IDRIS down. They exit the pilot seat and marvel at the massive size of the ship.
In conclusion, the video showcases the thrilling experience of flying an IDRIS ship in Star Citizen, despite its incomplete state. The YouTuber engages in combat, employs the railgun, and witnesses the scale and power of the ship. The limitations of AI-controlled gunners become apparent, but the overall experience leaves them anticipating the future possibilities of large-scale ship gameplay.
