In this video, Ean Lee provides a detailed review of the Tumbril Cyclone and its variants in Star Citizen 4.3.2, highlighting their shared features, unique capabilities, and pricing both in-game and on the pledge store. He praises the Cyclone series for their versatility, fun factor, and potential, recommending in-game purchases for players while noting some limitations in current gameplay mechanics.
In this video, Ean Lee provides an in-depth review of the Tumbril Cyclone and all its variants in Star Citizen 4.3.2. Starting with the base Cyclone, he highlights its large tires, consistent shield strength of 545 bubble shield, and 6,910 HP across all variants. The base model costs 103,950 AUC in-game or $55 on the pledge store and can carry one SCU container, making it a versatile ground vehicle for cargo transport and exploration.
Next, Ean discusses the Cyclone AA variant, which adds offensive capabilities with two size two Dominator 2 missiles and a TRAG burst EMP generator capable of dealing 1,000 distortion damage within 400 meters. Priced at 151,200 AUC or $80 on the pledge store, this version is notable for its unexpected EMP functionality, adding a tactical element to the vehicle. He also covers the Cyclone MT variant, equipped with a size one 9 series long sword ballistic cannon and four Dominator 2 missiles, making it a strong anti-light vehicle option.
The racing variant, Cyclone RC, is praised for its increased speed compared to other models, costing 122,850 AUC or $65 on the pledge store. Despite its similar shield and HP stats, it stands out for its performance in races. The expedition variant, Cyclone RN, features a larger radar package intended for exploration, although Ean notes that radar gameplay is not yet fully implemented, limiting its current usefulness.
Finally, Ean reviews the Cyclone TR, which mounts a minigun with 202 burst damage per second. While visually appealing and fitting for races, the minigun proved largely ineffective in combat situations due to limited ammunition and damage output. Throughout the video, Ean emphasizes the vehicles’ shared attributes, such as weapon racks for storing rifles and compatibility with various ships like the Shiv, Cutlass, and Freelancer, making them practical and enjoyable for ground operations.
Overall, Ean gives the Cyclone series a positive rating, appreciating their fun factor, versatility, and potential for future gameplay enhancements. He encourages players to consider purchasing these vehicles in-game rather than on the pledge store unless they want lifetime insurance. The review concludes with thanks to supporters and a recommendation for Longship Industries for PC building needs.
