The video reviews the RII Scorpius missile turret, highlighting its limited customization, major bugs, and overall feeling of being rushed and incomplete. Despite its potential effectiveness in combat, the presenter advises caution when purchasing, as many issues remain unaddressed and the product is unreliable in its current state.
The video provides a detailed review and testing of the missile turrets on the RII Scorpius, highlighting several issues and bugs. The presenter begins by explaining the ship’s loadout options, including missile racks and weapon configurations. He notes that the missile racks are limited to a single missile type, specifically the Tempest 2 missiles, and cannot be changed or customized easily, which he finds problematic and indicative of a rushed product.
He then demonstrates a major bug where the missile rack seemingly disappears after the ship is destroyed, making repairs impossible without repurchasing the turret. To work around this, he melts the turret back into store credit and repurchases it, but points out that this is an inconvenient and unreliable process. The presenter emphasizes that the missile rack’s functionality is buggy, and the product feels incomplete, suggesting that the developers rushed it out without proper testing.
Throughout the video, the presenter clarifies his stance on spending real money on in-game items like the turret, blades, and skins. He states he will only buy items with store credit, not real money, due to concerns about marketing scams and the incomplete state of some features. He mentions that certain items, such as armor sets and paint skins, cannot be purchased with store credit and thus are outside the scope of his reviews.
He then demonstrates how to manually manage missiles by tractor-beaming regular missiles onto the turret, allowing control over a larger missile payload. He showcases combat effectiveness using the missile rack, destroying multiple enemy ships with a combination of missiles and guns. The testing confirms that the missile turret, when functioning properly, can be a powerful tool, especially for solo gameplay and PvE scenarios.
Finally, the presenter summarizes that while the missile rack can be fun and effective, it remains buggy and incomplete. The missile turret’s inability to be easily customized or reliably maintained makes it a less-than-ideal purchase, especially if paid with real money. He hopes that the developers will fix these issues in future updates, but for now, the product feels half-finished and unreliable, warranting caution for potential buyers.
