The video offers a detailed overview of the Grey’s Market Basher, a compact and heavily armed light fighter in Star Citizen known for its rugged, kitbashed design and impressive firepower despite its small size. It highlights the ship’s unique aesthetic features, combat potential, pricing, and speculated role in Squadron 42, while also encouraging viewer engagement and promoting a monthly ship giveaway.
The video provides an in-depth look at the Grey’s Market Basher, a surprisingly small light fighter ship in Star Citizen. Contrary to initial impressions from concept and leaked images, the Basher is much more compact. It features design elements borrowed from other ships, such as Buccaneer engines and Gladius wings, combined with a kitbash aesthetic typical of Grey’s Market, which uses a mix of parts, ropes, chains, and industrial elements to create a rugged, pieced-together appearance. The ship is heavily armed with size two weaponry, including four dual-barreled laser repeaters and two ballistic Gatlings, making it quite potent despite its size.
Aesthetic features like harpoons and a crane mounted on the ship are purely decorative, with the crane being removable and the harpoons likely destructible in combat. The ship has some visible damage and wear, adding to its rugged charm, and it includes minimal storage space and a weapon rack made from a broken fence, emphasizing its scavenged look. The cockpit design leans heavily on Buccaneer influences, with a rally car-like mesh and offset controls, contributing to the ship’s nimble and responsive handling.
The Basher is noted for its impressive firepower relative to its small size, with six size two weapons that provide a lot of “pew pew.” Despite its light armor and weaponry, it is expected to serve well as a mini interceptor in combat. However, the reviewer expresses some wish for more body kit options to customize the ship’s appearance beyond the current limited choices. The ship is priced between $100 and $110 and is currently only available for real money, not in-game currency, which might affect its accessibility for some players.
The video also speculates on the Basher’s potential role in the upcoming Squadron 42 campaign, suggesting it might be used by ship jackers due to its design and functionality. The ship’s durability is highlighted, as it does not immediately take damage from light collisions, and its quirky design elements like the crane and harpoons add character even if they don’t contribute to combat effectiveness. The reviewer invites viewers to share their thoughts on the Basher and their preferred light fighters in Star Citizen, sparking discussion on the ship’s place in the game’s ecosystem.
Finally, the video wraps up with a promotion for a monthly ship giveaway featuring the Gatac T Louise snub carrier and encourages viewers to participate by commenting on videos. The creator thanks supporters and encourages engagement through likes, comments, and subscriptions. The overall tone is enthusiastic, highlighting the Basher’s unique style and capabilities while acknowledging areas for improvement and customization in the future.
