In this video, the creator tests the hauling capabilities of the Argo Raft in the Star Citizen game, specifically within the 3.24.1 patch. The video follows up on a previous cargo hauling guide where the player successfully completed nine solo missions, progressing from Trainee to Member rank. As a Member, the complexity of cargo missions increases, often requiring deliveries to multiple locations. The player demonstrates the need for careful organization of cargo on the ship to ensure successful mission completion, as any misplacement can lead to mission failure.
The player outlines several Member rank missions, which involve picking up cargo from one location and delivering it to two or more destinations. Specific examples include a mission to transport aluminum tungsten to Everest Harbor and Therapin, and another involving multiple materials to various locations. The video emphasizes the importance of stacking missions efficiently and the challenges that come with managing different types of cargo for each delivery point. The player also notes the improvements made to the Argo Raft in the latest patch, which enhances its maneuverability and allows for the installation of a size one Quantum drive.
As the player embarks on their missions, they highlight the Argo Raft’s capacity to handle a significant amount of cargo, with a focus on the specifics of loading and unloading. The player demonstrates the use of a tractor beam for cargo handling, noting the limitations of the ship’s elevator and the inability to transport certain larger units. The video showcases the process of collecting cargo from Magnus Gateway and delivering it to various locations, detailing the time taken for each leg of the journey.
During the delivery process, the player encounters various bugs and challenges, particularly when trying to unload cargo at different destinations. They experience issues with cargo validation and difficulties accessing hangars, which lead to some frustration. Despite these setbacks, the player manages to complete several deliveries, showcasing the effectiveness of the Argo Raft for hauling missions.
However, the video takes a dramatic turn when the player faces unexpected hostility from security guards during a delivery, resulting in a chaotic escape. The player is ultimately overwhelmed and ends up being sent to jail, which negatively impacts their in-game reputation. This unfortunate outcome serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of missions within Star Citizen, highlighting the blend of cargo hauling and potential combat scenarios that players may face. The video concludes with the player reflecting on their experience and the challenges of maintaining a good reputation while navigating the game’s complex mission system.
