In this Star Citizen piracy session, the team engages in intense battles against various players, including a hover bike user, a raft pilot, and a heavily crewed Caterpillar ship, showcasing coordinated tactics and persistence. They successfully capture ships and cargo, overcome performance challenges, and conclude by dividing their loot after a series of strategic strikes and boarding actions.
The video begins with a tense space and ground engagement involving multiple players in Star Citizen. The team encounters a player using a hover bike as a unique but ultimately ineffective tactic against them. Despite the bike user’s lack of a solid plan, the group manages to overpower and eliminate the threat. Following this, the team consolidates their spoils by moving captured ships and cargo to New Babbage, enduring performance issues like low frame rates during the process. They then resume their hunt around the Microtech area, picking up another target near Collip.
The next significant encounter involves a player named Spies Cake lifting off in a raft, which prompts the team to coordinate an attack. As the raft attempts to evade, the team works together to keep it disabled and prevent escape, eventually forcing the pilot into EVA (extravehicular activity) and securing the vessel. Meanwhile, another member of the crew observes a Caterpillar ship loading mission cargo at a derelict site. The team plans a coordinated strike on the Caterpillar, anticipating a challenging fight due to its size and crew complement.
The Caterpillar engagement is intense, with the team focusing fire on the ship’s shields and engines while avoiding unnecessary damage to critical areas. Despite attempts by the Caterpillar’s crew to maneuver and potentially dump their cargo or crew, the team maintains pressure, using missiles and coordinated attacks to keep the ship immobilized. The Caterpillar’s erratic movements, including snapping back and sliding down hills, add complexity to the battle. Eventually, the team boards the ship on foot, navigating its interior to eliminate remaining hostile crew members.
After clearing the Caterpillar, the team transfers its cargo to their Polaris ship and returns damaged vessels to Port Trestler for repairs. They then conduct another sweep at the SMCA6 site on Collia, searching for previously engaged targets. Their persistence pays off when they locate the raft’s cargo and secure it. As they work to offload the loot, another potential target arrives at the outpost, prompting the team to prepare for another engagement. The ensuing fight is swift, with the target quickly overwhelmed and forced into EVA.
The session concludes with the team successfully capturing and dividing the loot among themselves. The final target opts to backspace (teleport away) rather than resist, allowing the crew to strip the cargo unopposed. After unloading their haul back at New Babbage and ensuring their ships are ready, the team calls an end to the session, having demonstrated effective teamwork, tactical coordination, and persistence in their piracy operations within Star Citizen.
