In the Star Citizen 4.7 update video, the player showcases the acquisition of new ships like the Anvil Paladin and equips the Asgard with revamped N15 cannons and upgraded armor, demonstrating its enhanced durability and combat effectiveness. The video highlights the impact of the new armor system on gameplay, emphasizing the strategic importance of armor-penetrating weapons and praising the update for enriching the game’s combat dynamics.
In this Star Citizen 4.7 update video, the player begins by flying to Area 18 to purchase new ships introduced in the Alpha USC. The main focus is on acquiring the Anvil Paladin, available at Astro Armada in Area 18, as well as considering the purchase of the Anvil Valkyrie and the Esperia Prowler. The Shiv ship is also mentioned as available for purchase on Hurston, though the player already owns it. After buying the desired ships, the player plans to head to Nyx to buy N15 cannons to equip on the Asgard ship.
The player provides a detailed guide on how to navigate to the ship purchasing location in Area 18, explaining the shuttle ride to Ark Plaza and walking through the hallways to Astro Armada. The Paladin costs nearly 16 million, and the player confirms the purchase along with the Vulyrie and Esperia Prowler. With ships acquired, the journey continues to Levski to buy N15 cannons, which have been completely reworked and now look impressive. Additional weapons like the N14, N13, and attrition missiles are also purchased to outfit various ships.
Once equipped, the player tests the Asgard fitted with the new N15 cannons in combat. The Asgard has received significant armor upgrades, making it much harder to kill. During combat, the player demonstrates the ship’s resilience, showing how the armor absorbs damage effectively, even under heavy fire from multiple enemies including arrows with distortion effects and reclaimers. The new armor mechanics mean that while the ship’s hull can be damaged, the armor provides strong protection, significantly extending combat survivability.
The video highlights the importance of weapons that can penetrate armor, as conventional guns struggle to do damage while the armor is active. The Asgard withstands multiple attacks, losing engines but remaining operational, showcasing its toughness and the strategic value of the new armor system. The player emphasizes the challenge and excitement of the combat experience, noting that the fight was one of the toughest and most engaging in Star Citizen to date.
In conclusion, the video praises the Star Citizen 4.7 update for introducing new ships, weapons, and a revamped armor system that changes combat dynamics. The Asgard ship, in particular, stands out as one of the toughest in the game due to its enhanced armor and weaponry options. The player invites viewers to share their thoughts on the Asgard and the new N15 cannons, encouraging engagement and promising more content in future videos. The overall tone is enthusiastic and informative, aimed at helping fellow citizens enjoy the latest game features.
