In the video, the creator shares their first experience in Star Citizen 4.0, exploring the new star system Pyro aboard the Mirai Guardian, and highlights improved gameplay elements such as NPC interactions and wormhole traversal. After facing challenges during a mission that led to a swift defeat, they regrouped with friends to successfully complete the mission and announced a giveaway for a Star Citizen game package.
In the video titled “My First Day in 4.0 Preview + LTI Ship Giveaway - Star Citizen 4.0 Gameplay Mirai Guardian,” the creator shares their first experience exploring the new star system, Pyro, using the newly introduced ship, the Mirai Guardian. Upon entering the Guardian, they were pleasantly surprised by the ship’s spacious interior and impressive armament, which includes two size five weapons. As they prepared for their journey to the Pirate Jumpgate, the creator expressed excitement about meeting friends from Discord in the lawless region of Pyro, setting the stage for an adventurous outing.
As they made their way to the Pirate Jumpgate, the creator noted changes in the wormhole traversal experience, including a seamless transition and the addition of an alarm that signals proximity to the wormhole’s boundary. However, they felt the jumps were slower compared to earlier experimental phases. Upon arriving in Pyro, the creator was curious about the rumored chaos and lawlessness, which had led to reports of rampant player killing in the area. Surprisingly, they managed to traverse the region without encountering any immediate threats.
Once in Pyro, the group gathered at Starlight Service Station to refuel and discuss their plans. The creator highlighted the improved NPC behavior, noting that they witnessed an NPC making eye contact and nodding—a detail they had not observed before. As they prepared for their next mission, they debated the idea of setting a home base in Pyro versus Stanton, reflecting on their evolving playstyles and the excitement of engaging in adventures in the new system.
The creator then accepted an asteroid-based mission, but underestimated the level of resistance they would encounter. Upon arrival at the mission site, they quickly found themselves under attack, leading to a swift and unfortunate defeat. While they acknowledged their poor piloting skills, they emphasized that the lawless nature of Pyro meant that players should expect random attacks and the potential for conflict. They expressed understanding of the frustrations players might feel in such an environment, especially as it was the first new star system released in a decade.
After regrouping and recovering their gear, the creator and their friends engaged in combat at the mission site, showcasing teamwork and strategy. They encountered minimal resistance in the hangar, which was unusual based on previous experiences. The video concluded with a successful mission completion and a giveaway announcement for a Star Citizen game package, including the Mirai Guardian and Lifetime Insurance. The creator expressed gratitude to their supporters and patrons, hinting at more content to come from Star Citizen in the future.
