The video addresses a design flaw in the Star Citizen Carrack’s cargo bay lip that complicates loading and unloading cargo boxes, and demonstrates a workaround involving careful maneuvering and using the cargo bay lid to position the topmost box. Despite the awkward design, this method allows players to efficiently load all cargo boxes without losing storage space.
The video provides a quick guide on how to load cargo boxes into the Star Citizen Carrack ship, specifically addressing a design flaw related to the cargo bay’s lip that obstructs smooth loading and unloading. The presenter points out that while the cargo bay is open, a lip gets in the way, making it tricky to maneuver the cargo boxes in and out. This lip is described as a silly design oversight that complicates the loading process.
To work around this issue, the presenter demonstrates opening the starboard side of the Carrack to get a better view of the lip and cargo placement. When unloading, the trick is to pull out the cargo box slowly while wiggling it until it comes free. Despite the awkward design, it is still possible to remove the cargo boxes with some patience and careful maneuvering.
Loading the boxes, especially the ones that need to be placed on top, requires a bit more finesse. The presenter explains that after placing the second box, lifting it slightly allows pushing it forward onto the lip. Then, the next box can be pushed in carefully, ensuring it locks into place without getting caught. However, the topmost box cannot be directly placed inside due to the lip, so a different method is required.
The workaround for the top box involves pushing it as far in as possible and then closing the cargo bay lid, which pushes the box on top of the other boxes. This method does not snap the box to the grid automatically, so manual adjustment is needed afterward. Although this is not an ideal solution, it allows loading all cargo boxes without losing any storage space, which would happen if the boxes were placed elsewhere.
In conclusion, the video highlights the Carrack’s cargo bay design flaw but offers a practical solution to load all cargo boxes efficiently. The presenter encourages viewers to try this method if they encounter similar issues and invites them to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more Star Citizen content. Overall, the video is a helpful workaround for players struggling with the Carrack’s cargo loading challenges.
