In the video, host Law the West discusses the final day of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2954, focusing on Anvil Aerospace’s ship lineup. He highlights the excitement surrounding the event and notes that Cloud Imperium Games has introduced four new ships, including the medical variant of the Anvil ship and the Hornet Tracker. The Hornet Tracker is essentially an upgraded version of the standard Mark II, featuring an external tracker pod and maintaining the same hardpoints and weapon capabilities as its predecessors. Law emphasizes that this is a great opportunity for new players to acquire the ship with Lifetime Insurance (LTI).
The host then shifts his attention to the Ghost, noting a significant change in its design—specifically, the removal of the void armor concept. Instead, a module on the back of the Ghost dampens its radar signature. He speculates whether this indicates a permanent shift away from void armor, although there has been no official confirmation. Law also discusses the F7A ship, expressing his uncertainty about its fit within his fleet while acknowledging its potential for solo medical runs due to its defensive capabilities and onboard amenities.
Further into the video, Law examines the medical Terrapin, which has undergone a gold standard pass. He discusses its features, such as a tier 2 bed and a wash station tied to a hygiene mechanic. He highlights the ship’s versatility, suggesting it could serve as a mobile spawn point and a healing station for players in an organization. However, he remains cautious about its role in his fleet, given his existing medical Pisces ship. Law also addresses the ongoing changes to the Carrack and its potential updates.
As the walkthrough continues, Law explores other Anvil ships, including the Ballista, Paladin, and Crucible. He praises the Ballista for its effective targeting system and expresses mixed feelings about the Paladin, which he sees as a competitor to the Redeemer. The Paladin features a four-person crew and a powerful array of turreted weapons, but Law advises players to wait until it becomes a flyable asset before making a purchase. He also discusses the Crucible’s repair mechanics and the exciting potential of the Liberator, though he remains skeptical about its actual utility.
In conclusion, Law reflects on his experience at the IAE and the various ships showcased throughout the event. He expresses his fondness for the Anvil lineup and shares his thoughts on the changes made to several ships. Although he has enjoyed the event, he acknowledges the limitations of the final day, which mainly focuses on a Best in Show format. The video wraps up with Law thanking viewers for their engagement and expressing his anticipation for future developments in the Star Citizen universe.
