In the video, Daniel Raymond from Ray’s Guide discusses the modularity of the Retaliator ship in Star Citizen, expressing excitement but finding its performance underwhelming compared to other specialized ships. He explores existing and potential modules for the Retaliator, including drop ship, respawn point, retrieval, and jamming capabilities, and updates viewers on giveaways and membership perks.
In the video, Daniel Raymond from Ray’s Guide discusses the addition of modularity in Star Citizen, specifically focusing on the Retaliator ship and its cargo modules. He expresses excitement about modularity being implemented but finds the Retaliator freighter edition underwhelming in its performance as both a cargo ship and a specialized situation ship. He mentions that other ships in the game might be better suited for specialized tasks, making the Retaliator less compelling in comparison.
Raymond then delves into the Retaliator modules that CIG has already sold to backers. He mentions the Living Spaces module and the Drop Ship module, highlighting the potential of the latter in combining firepower and defensive capabilities not found in other drop ships currently in the game. He also discusses the possibility of other modules that CIG could sell in the future, focusing on modules with capabilities already present in the game or planned as future content.
Several potential Retaliator modules are proposed, such as the Re-bomor for launching smaller spherical bombs with precision, the Re-medbed for serving as a respawn point and troop carrier, and the Re-tractor for strip retrieval under hostile conditions. Raymond also suggests the Re-ewarator, combining jamming and EMP capabilities for an exciting gameplay experience. He explores the idea of cross-manufacturer mashups, like the Redatarator combining data running capabilities with the Retaliator airframe.
The video concludes with updates on giveaways offered by Ray’s Guide, including a special membership to cover travel costs for live CitizenCon coverage and giveaways of ships like the Hull C. Viewers are encouraged to participate in the giveaways by becoming a member or subscribing and commenting with a secret word. Raymond signs off by wishing viewers to “fly safe, keep it real,” and looks forward to seeing them in the verse.
