In this Star Citizen 2.2 multicrew gameplay video, the player and their team navigate the Perseus ship through patrol missions in the Nyx system, discovering its strengths and vulnerabilities, particularly its limited countermeasure control when multiple crew members are aboard. After upgrading the ship’s weapons and coordinating effectively, the crew achieves their first victory, highlighting the importance of teamwork and proper outfitting in overcoming challenges.
In this Star Citizen 2.2 multicrew gameplay video, the player embarks on a journey with the Perseus ship, initially in a mostly stock configuration, traveling to the Nyx system. The ship handles well through the wormhole, providing a unique view from the cockpit. Early on, the player meets up with teammates Skysoper and Zurggo, who are already engaged in missions in the Glacian Belt. The player experiments with the ship’s weapons, including torpedoes and the remote turret, while waiting for the team to assemble. The Perseus is equipped with multiple PDCs (point defense cannons) that automatically engage enemies, and the player discovers that the ship can also be flown from the co-pilot seat.
Once the crew is assembled, Zurgo takes over piloting duties due to the player’s limited confidence in flying. The player takes on the front main turret, while Skysoper mans the rear turret. The ship’s main armament consists of large size eight cannons, which have slow projectile speeds, and smaller size three mantis gatling guns, which feel underpowered in this setup. Throughout patrol missions in the Glacian Belt, the team encounters various objectives, including scanning satellites and engaging enemy ships. The unpredictability of mission objectives adds replayability to these patrols.
During combat, the team faces strong enemy forces, and a critical flaw of the Perseus is revealed: when multiple players occupy bridge seats, the pilot loses control over countermeasures, making the ship vulnerable. Despite efforts to redirect power to shields and retreat, the Perseus sustains heavy damage and is eventually overwhelmed. The crew is rescued by an ally piloting a Paladin, highlighting that the Perseus is not a heavily armored or dominant ship in the current game meta and can be taken down by smaller ships if not careful.
Following the combat encounter, the team returns to Levki for outfitting upgrades. Skysoper generously provides NDB30 guns to replace the underpowered mantis gatling guns, significantly improving the ship’s firepower. The player also experiments with different paint jobs before settling on a red scheme. With the upgraded weapons, the Perseus performs better in subsequent missions, successfully taking down tougher targets like Caterpillars and Buccaneers. The improved armament and teamwork lead to the crew’s first victory, demonstrating the importance of proper outfitting and coordination.
The video concludes with reflections on the lessons learned about the Perseus’s vulnerabilities and capabilities, as well as anticipation for future adventures and further ship improvements.
