In “Polaris Boarding Test Part.1,” Foxy Loxy tests the effectiveness of various FPS weapons against the doors of the Polaris spacecraft while its shields are active, revealing that standard firearms like the FS9 ballistic pistol are ineffective for breaching. The railgun proves to be the most effective weapon, requiring three shots to breach the airlock door and 46 shots for the tougher top hangar door, while also demonstrating its capability to destroy the ship’s weapons.
In the video titled “Polaris Boarding Test Part.1,” the host, Foxy Loxy, conducts an experiment to determine whether various FPS weapons can breach the doors of the Polaris spacecraft while its shields are fully operational. The viewer, Angelic stick, requests that Foxy test the effectiveness of a personal ballistic rifle or pistol against the Polaris doors in an EVA scenario. Eager to fulfill this request, Foxy prepares for the test by entering the Polaris and ensuring that the shields are active and weapons are armed.
Foxy first tests the FS9 ballistic pistol on the airlock door, firing multiple magazines without success. After exhausting three magazines, he switches to a more powerful weapon, the railgun. It takes only two shots from the railgun to open the airlock door, demonstrating that while the FS9 may cause some damage, it is not sufficient for breaching the door. Foxy continues to test other entrances, including a side door and the top hangar, documenting the number of shots required to open each door.
The results reveal that the airlock door can be breached with three railgun shots, while the side docking collar requires two shots. However, the top hangar door proves to be much tougher, needing an astonishing 46 railgun shots to open. This finding emphasizes that breaching the Polaris, especially when its shields are up, is a challenging task that necessitates the use of heavy weaponry rather than standard ballistic firearms.
In addition to testing door breaches, Foxy also explores the possibility of destroying the ship’s weapons. He discovers that the railgun can effectively strip weapons off the Polaris, with varying success across different weapon types. For instance, the PDC is destroyed with one shot, while the Ching gun is particularly vulnerable, requiring only a single hit to be taken out. This part of the test showcases the railgun’s destructive capability against the Polaris’s armaments.
As the video progresses, Foxy experiments with destroying other ships and weapons inside the Polaris, leading to some chaotic moments, including accidental self-harm and engagement with security personnel. Ultimately, the video serves as an entertaining and informative exploration of weapon effectiveness in the context of boarding and breaching a heavily shielded spacecraft, highlighting the need for powerful weapons like the railgun for successful incursions.
