Emelyse from Starship Citizen reveals a new Meteor weapons kit upgrade that replaces the ship’s existing guns with powerful size five laser repeaters, significantly boosting its firepower but increasing energy consumption. A leaked clip confirms the upgrade’s upcoming release, sparking excitement for similar customizable weapon options on other unique ships in Star Citizen.
In this video, Emelyse from Starship Citizen shares an exciting update about the Meteor ship in Star Citizen, specifically focusing on its weaponry. She highlights a newly spotted upgrade called the Meteor weapons kit, which allows players to replace the ship’s existing guns with a set of laser repeaters. This upgrade was revealed in a recent video and offers a significant enhancement to the ship’s firepower.
The Meteor currently features size five Leonid cannons and size three FL33 guns, but with the weapons kit, players can install three laser repeater barrels on each side, likely size five based on the existing Leonid cannons. This means an additional six barrels of size five laser weaponry are added, supplementing the four size three guns already present. The increased firepower promises to make the Meteor a more formidable combat vessel.
However, Emelyse notes a potential drawback with this upgrade: the increased energy consumption. The laser repeaters will likely drain the ship’s capacitors quickly, limiting the number of shots before needing to recharge. This could affect combat efficiency, especially in prolonged engagements, making energy management a critical factor for pilots using the upgraded Meteor.
The video also references a leaked clip from the SC Leaks Discord, showing the Meteor weapons kit in action during a PvE combat mission. This leak, although a few months old, confirms that the upgrade is real and potentially coming soon, possibly around the time of the upcoming Defense Con event. The inclusion of this kit suggests that bespoke ships like the Meteor may soon have more customizable weapon options.
Finally, Emelyse expresses excitement about the broader implications of this weapons kit system. She hopes other ships with unique armaments, such as the Polaris or Ares Starfighter, might receive similar upgrades in the future, allowing for greater flexibility and personalization. The video closes with thanks to viewers and anticipation for the Meteor laser weapons kit’s official release.
