The latest Star Citizen update introduces the Argo CSV-SM, a compact cargo service vehicle designed for base building and transport, featuring a user-friendly design and a maximum speed of 28 m/s. Additionally, it teases the upcoming Argo CSV-FM, which will support larger construction projects with advanced drone launchers, while hinting at more vehicles and drones to enhance base building mechanics in the game.
In the latest update on Star Citizen, the focus is on the Argo CSV-SM, a new cargo service vehicle designed for base building and transport. This compact flatbed truck is now available in-game, catering to short-range transport needs across various scales. The CSV-SM is characterized by its user-friendly design, rugged dependability, and versatility, making it a valuable asset at cargo depots and construction sites. It can accommodate a single driver with additional space for passengers in the back, and while it lacks weapons, it has a size zero shield, making it suitable for general cargo management.
The Argo CSV-SM is priced at $40 for Warbond purchases and $45 for store credit, with varying insurance options depending on the purchase method. It competes with the Drake Mule, offering slightly more cargo capacity and a rugged design for off-road capabilities. The vehicle is intended for transporting materials between outposts and construction sites, with a maximum speed of 28 m/s on flat terrain. It features a dedicated multi-tool storage slot and personal storage at the rear, making it practical for individual operators and larger projects alike.
In addition to the CSV-SM, the video teases the upcoming Argo CSV-FM, a fabrication model designed for more extensive base-building operations. This model is expected to launch soon and will feature advanced drone launchers for construction activities, along with internal storage for necessary materials. While the CSV-SM serves as an entry-level vehicle for construction, the CSV-FM aims to facilitate larger scale building projects, indicating a complementary relationship between the two models.
The discussion also touches on the potential for future vehicles and ships that will enhance base building mechanics in the game. The video speculates on the introduction of various drones and vehicles that will assist players in constructing and managing bases, including a larger vehicle based on the Atlas chassis. This new vehicle is anticipated to support the building of forward operating bases and defenses, further expanding the gameplay possibilities within Star Citizen.
Lastly, the video encourages viewer interaction, inviting comments on the new vehicles and their potential impact on gameplay. It also promotes a ship giveaway for October, offering a Drake Corsair with a game package and lifetime insurance. The video concludes with a call to support the channel through various means, including Patreon and channel membership, while expressing excitement for the upcoming Alpha 4.0 and the new Pyro system in the game.
