In the IAE 2955 full tour video, Double Notison and RootAdmin explore the limited selection of RSI ships showcased at the event, critiquing design choices, combat capabilities, and overall event scope while expressing disappointment over the lack of variety and new content. They provide detailed insights on various ships and vehicles, ultimately encouraging viewer engagement despite their mixed feelings about the showfloor experience.
In this video, the hosts Double Notison and RootAdmin dive into the Star Citizen IAE 2955 event, exploring the various ships showcased at the showfloor. They begin with a detailed tour of the new RSI Perseus, noting its size, features, and armaments. Despite initial excitement, they express some disappointment with the ship’s view and interior design, pointing out wasted space and minimalistic elements like the crew quarters and armory. They also discuss the ship’s combat capabilities, including torpedo loadouts and turret placements, debating its effectiveness compared to the Polaris, a ship they have favored for some time.
Moving through the showfloor, the hosts examine a range of RSI ships, including the Salvation salvage ship and the Kruger Alpha Wolf fighter. They comment on the limited availability of ships during the event, with only RSI ships present on this day, which they find disappointing as it reduces the excitement and variety expected from the week-long event. They also touch on the physicalized components and new features like retractable fins on some ships, appreciating some quality-of-life improvements despite overall dissatisfaction with the event’s layout and offerings.
The tour continues with a look at various alien-themed ships and vehicles, highlighting their unique designs and the “alien tax” pricing. The hosts discuss the pros and cons of ships like the Talon, Shrike, and Saki, focusing on their large profiles and combat viability. They also critique the awkward design and handling of certain ships, such as the Zillian, expressing personal dislike despite acknowledging their uniqueness. Ground vehicles like the Ursa and various buggies are also briefly reviewed, noting their utility and limitations within the game.
Further into the video, attention shifts to cargo and utility ships from manufacturers like Drake and Origin. The hosts analyze the Drake Cutlass Black and Corsair, praising their cargo capabilities and noting design flaws such as difficult cargo loading and awkward door placements. The Origin 300 series and 400i are also examined, with mixed feelings about their aesthetics and practicality. They highlight features like weapon racks, med beds, and vehicle docking, while also pointing out weaknesses in shielding and overall combat readiness.
Finally, the hosts reflect on the overall experience of IAE 2955, expressing disappointment with the event’s limited scope and the lack of surprises or new content beyond what had been leaked. They speculate that the focus on the new Nyx system might have detracted from the showfloor’s appeal. Despite their criticisms, they encourage viewers to share their own experiences and purchases from the event. The video concludes with a casual sign-off, inviting the community to join their crew and promising more content in future episodes.
