The video showcases gameplay of Star Citizen patch 4.7, focusing on cargo hauling using the RSI Hermes, a preferred medium hauler ship. The player, Farester, prepares for the upcoming patch by undertaking two medium haul contracts simultaneously, emphasizing efficiency by selecting contracts with similar destinations. Starting from Levski, Farester travels across the Stanton system, carefully planning the route to pick up cargo from ARL1 and Crew L1, aiming to deliver to Saraphim and Everest Harbor.
Upon arriving at the pickup points, Farester highlights the Hermes’ large hangar bay and dual cargo grids, which facilitate easy loading and organization of cargo. The onboard tractor beam is praised for its range and utility, allowing cargo to be moved efficiently even when parked at a distance. Farester strategically separates cargo for each contract on either side of the ship’s cargo grid, also differentiating materials like aluminum and titanium, which simplifies the unloading process later.
The video details the loading process, including the use of power management to optimize tractor beam operation and reduce unnecessary HUD clutter. Farester demonstrates careful handling of crates, ensuring that quantities align perfectly with contract requirements. The gameplay is interspersed with sped-up sections to maintain a concise video length, accompanied by voiceover commentary and soothing music, enhancing the viewing experience.
During the delivery phase, Farester makes quantum jumps at various speeds, appreciating the unique atmospheres of different Lagrange points. The unloading process at Saraphim and Everest Harbor is smooth, thanks to the prior organization of cargo. Despite a minor setback where one small crate goes missing, Farester successfully completes the contracts, showcasing the Hermes’ strengths for medium haul missions and the overall enjoyment of the cargo hauling gameplay loop.
In conclusion, the video serves as both an informative guide and an enjoyable showcase of the RSI Hermes in action. Farester shares personal insights on why the Hermes is a favorite for medium haul contracts, highlighting its cargo capacity, tractor beam mechanics, and efficient cargo management.
