The video tests the Gatac Tyilui’s hangar bay cargo capacity in Star Citizen, revealing it can hold up to 464 SCU by stacking boxes beyond official grid limits but suffers from instability and glitches causing cargo loss during flight and quantum travel. Despite its large capacity and unique co-pilot controls for cargo handling, the ship is shown to be unreliable for secure cargo transport.
In this video, the creator tests the cargo capacity of the Gatac Tyilui ship in Star Citizen, specifically focusing on its hangar bay. They begin by explaining some unique features of the ship, including the front entrance that requires a floating elevator to board from the ground, and how to open and close doors both inside and outside the ship. Notably, there is no external button to control the main hangar door, which can only be operated from inside the ship by the pilot or co-pilot.
The ship’s bridge has four seats, including two remote turret seats and a co-pilot seat that has special functions. While the pilot can fly the ship and operate weapons, the co-pilot uniquely controls the tractor beam, which is essential for maneuvering cargo. The co-pilot also has access to most pilot functions, including door controls and navigation, making it more practical to operate the ship’s cargo handling from the co-pilot seat.
The cargo capacity test starts with placing official cargo grids inside the hangar bay. Each grid can hold six 8-SCU boxes, totaling 96 SCU for both top and bottom layers combined. However, the ship’s hangar has much more space beyond these grids. The creator experiments by stacking additional boxes floating in zero gravity in the middle of the hangar and on the gravity-affected floor, though the latter proves buggy.
As more boxes are added, many begin to glitch and float away, indicating instability in cargo storage within the hangar. Despite this, the creator manages to fit a total of 58 boxes, equating to 464 SCU, which is significantly higher than the official grid capacity. However, this comes with the risk of losing some boxes during flight or quantum travel, as a few boxes tend to escape or get destroyed.
The video concludes with the creator demonstrating that although the Gatac Tyilui can carry a large amount of cargo, it is prone to losing boxes due to glitches and instability. After a quantum jump and landing, several boxes are missing or destroyed along with the ship, highlighting that while the ship can transport cargo, it may not be the most reliable choice for serious cargo hauling. The creator thanks viewers and signs off, promising more tests in future videos.
