The video reviews the updates to the Spirit C1 cargo grid in Star Citizen 3.24.3 PTU, highlighting improvements that allow for easier loading and fitting of cargo boxes compared to the previous version in the Persistent Universe. The presenter notes enhanced flexibility in positioning boxes, making the cargo area more navigable and user-friendly for players.
The video discusses recent updates to the Spirit C1 cargo grid in the Star Citizen 3.24.3 PTU (Public Test Universe) and compares it to the previous version in the Persistent Universe (PU). The viewer, Fox Valock 222, noted that the cargo grid’s layout had changed, specifically mentioning that larger boxes could no longer fit between the two grid boxes. The presenter sets out to investigate this claim by testing the cargo area of the Spirit C1 in both the PU and PTU environments.
In the PU test, the presenter demonstrates how to load cargo boxes into the C1’s cargo area. They successfully place multiple 32 SCU boxes, but find that fitting smaller 8 SCU boxes becomes challenging due to the grid’s spacing. The presenter explains that to fit additional boxes, one must move existing boxes off the grid, which complicates the loading process. They note that while it is possible to fit three 32 SCU boxes, it requires maneuvering the boxes carefully and using the tractor beam to adjust their positions.
Transitioning to the PTU, the presenter observes that the cargo grid appears visually unchanged, prompting them to conduct further tests with different box sizes. They mention a change in the controls for the tractor beam, which now uses the left mouse button for detaching and the right mouse button for tractor mode. This adjustment, along with the testing of 16 SCU boxes, reveals that the cargo area may have been improved, allowing boxes to snap closer to the edges of the grid compared to the PU.
The presenter highlights that this update provides more flexibility in loading cargo, as boxes can now be placed more easily without needing to be moved off the grid first. They note that it is possible to fit multiple boxes while still maintaining enough space to navigate through the cargo area, which is a significant improvement from the previous version. The ability to move through the ship while carrying cargo is also emphasized as a beneficial change for players who use the Spirit C1.
Overall, the video concludes with a positive assessment of the cargo grid updates for the Spirit C1 in the 3.24.3 PTU. The presenter expresses gratitude for the viewer’s comment that prompted this exploration, noting that the changes enhance the usability of the cargo area. This update is particularly beneficial for players who have opted to keep the Spirit C1 rather than upgrading to the Zeus variant, making the cargo loading experience smoother and more efficient.
