In this video, Even Lee presents a 10-minute review of the new Graycat UTV in Star Citizen 4.7.1. The vehicle resembles a golf cart and is described as a cute, compact ground vehicle that looks like something special forces might use, equipped with guns in the back for quick combat. The UTV is priced at $35 as a war bond or $40 in store credit, making it somewhat pricey compared to other ships and vehicles available in the game. It appeals mainly to collectors or players who want a unique ground vehicle with Lifetime Insurance (LTI).
The Graycat UTV has practical uses despite its small size. It can carry one standard SCU cargo crate or up to eight 1/8 SCU containers, which makes it useful for transporting small amounts of cargo across short distances. However, it lacks weapons and shields, though it does have some armor that can deflect certain types of damage, especially from firearms. The vehicle has moderate health points but is vulnerable to damage like tire destruction, which can immobilize it quickly.
Fuel-wise, the UTV runs on hydrogen with a capacity of 23.63 SCUs, enabling decent travel time on the ground, but it does not have a quantum drive for faster space travel. The review highlights the vehicle’s detailed design, including features like an openable hood revealing components, a deployable step (though somewhat unnecessary due to the vehicle’s low height), and multiple weapon mounts suitable for rifles and SMGs. The lighting system is also praised for visibility during night driving.
Inside, the UTV is compact but functional, with controls for lights, engine, and storage compartments accessible from the driver’s seat. The passenger seat is also functional, and the vehicle can carry additional chairs or cargo items, adding to its versatility for small group travel or cargo runs. The reviewer shares some fun moments experienced while driving the UTV in the game, emphasizing its charm and utility despite limitations.
Overall, Even Lee recommends the Graycat UTV primarily as an LTI token or a collector’s item rather than a practical vehicle for everyday gameplay. He suggests waiting for an in-game purchase option with UEC currency for those interested in owning it without spending real money. The reviewer expresses hope for future improvements in ground vehicles, such as better terrain handling and the addition of roads, which would enhance the gameplay experience and make vehicles like the UTV more valuable. The video closes with gratitude to supporters and a shoutout to Longship Industries for PC builds.
