In this Star Citizen gameplay video, Mannix demonstrates that the Ironclad ship no longer flips or loses control when jumping through wormholes after a recent update, effectively fixing the major interstellar travel issue. Although the command module still detaches upon exiting quantum travel, this minor bug is manageable with auto-docking and does not hinder the ship’s improved functionality for long-distance missions.
In this Star Citizen gameplay video, Mannix explores whether the Ironclad ship can successfully jump through wormholes following a recent game update. Previously, players experienced a major issue where the Ironclad would jackknife and flip uncontrollably upon exiting quantum travel through wormholes, making interstellar cargo missions impossible. Mannix demonstrates the current state of the ship, noting that the command module still detaches when coming out of quantum, which remains a minor annoyance but not a critical issue.
Mannix proceeds to test the Ironclad by attempting to pilot it through a wormhole from Stanton to the Pyro system. Contrary to past experiences, the Ironclad maintains stability throughout the jump, no longer flipping or losing control. He carefully maneuvers the ship, avoiding the wormhole edges, and successfully exits near the destination station. The update appears to have fixed the major wormhole jump problem, allowing players to complete interstellar missions with the Ironclad.
Despite the success, the command module detaching upon exiting quantum remains a problem. Mannix advises players to avoid using cruise control during jumps to prevent the ship from drifting uncontrollably after module detachment. However, he reassures viewers that reattaching the command module is straightforward using the auto-docking feature, which involves selecting the ship and using specific key commands to reconnect.
Mannix also tests the wormhole jump in the reverse direction, from Pyro back to Stanton, and finds similar positive results. The Ironclad again passes through the wormhole smoothly and lands near the intended destination. Although the command module detachment issue persists, the overall functionality of the Ironclad for interstellar travel has significantly improved, marking a major step forward for players relying on this ship for missions.
In conclusion, Mannix confirms that the Ironclad’s wormhole jump problem appears to be fixed following the recent update, enabling players to use it effectively for long-distance travel. The remaining detachment bug is manageable and expected to be addressed in future patches. He encourages viewers to try the ship themselves, follow his channel for more updates, and thanks his community for their support during his live streams. This video provides an optimistic outlook for Ironclad users in Star Citizen’s evolving gameplay environment.
