In this video, Loud Guns introduces the MISC Starite, a new solo-focused light refueler ship in Star Citizen designed for players interested in logistical support gameplay without the complexity of larger ships like the Starfarer. With the release of patch 4.8, new refueling missions have been added, allowing players to engage in refueling activities beyond just supporting organization members or stranded players. The video also serves as a mini guide to the refueling gameplay loop, with an invitation for viewers to request a more detailed guide including the Starfarer.
Loud Guns offers a word of caution to new players about the temptation to purchase new ships during big sales events like DefenseCon and IAE, reminding them that ships become earnable in-game after their exclusivity period. He also mentions the ongoing free fly event, encouraging viewers to create an account using a referral code to try the game for free. Additionally, he promotes a giveaway for an Origin MAT ship as part of the DefenseCon celebrations, directing viewers to a previous video for details.
The Starite is described as a compact and lightly equipped ship with all size one components, including shields, power plant, coolers, QT drive, and radar. It has four size two gun hardpoints and two missile slots, giving it decent firepower for its size. The ship carries two CR6 fuel pods with a 20 SCU capacity each, allowing it to transport both quantum and hydrogen fuel. The video includes a tour of the ship’s interior, highlighting its practical and thoughtfully designed habitation area, including a bed, kitchenette, storage, and hygiene facilities.
Loud Guns then demonstrates the refueling process, explaining how to fill the fuel pods via the landing services menu and how to accept refueling missions through the contract manager. He walks through the steps of approaching the client ship, entering refueling mode, and using the ship’s autodock feature to connect the fuel hose. A standout feature of the Starite is the refueling panel that drops down inside the cockpit, allowing the pilot to manage fuel transfer without leaving their seat, which is a significant improvement over the Starfarer’s setup.
The video concludes with Loud Guns expressing his pleasant surprise at how enjoyable the Starite and the new refueling missions are, noting the practical applications of refueling in gameplay, especially in high-demand areas like Nyx. He appreciates the added risk from occasional hostile NPC encounters during missions, which adds excitement to the gameplay. Finally, he invites viewers to share their thoughts on the Starite, encourages likes and subscriptions, and hints at upcoming content covering other major releases.
