In the video, the host, Law of the West, introduces viewers to the bounty hunting missions available in the game Star Citizen, specifically focusing on the Tracker Beginner’s Permit Certification Mission. Due to audio issues with the original recording, he has re-recorded his commentary, which may result in some discrepancies between his narration and the gameplay footage. He explains that the mission is undertaken through Hurst and Dynamics, and it appears after reaching the associate tracker reputation level. The mission involves a fee of 1,000 credits, but the reward for completing it is significantly higher at 35,250 credits.
Law details the mission parameters, explaining that the Bounty Hunter Guild offers this certification to signify a player’s qualification to track and apprehend low-risk targets. These targets typically operate smaller ships and may have escorts, making the mission more challenging than previous wanted missions. He emphasizes that this certification is essential for unlocking further bounty hunting missions at this tier level. The mission requires players to engage in ship-to-ship combat, which is a step up from earlier missions.
As he prepares for the mission, Law discusses his ship setup, using an F7A Mark I equipped with laser repeaters, which he prefers for taking down smaller targets. He notes that the mission takes place in an asteroid field, requiring players to be more aware of their surroundings compared to earlier atmospheric battles. He also mentions the need for energy management in combat to ensure optimal performance.
Upon locating the target, a prospector ship, Law experiences a glitch where the target does not register as an enemy initially, causing him to hesitate before engaging. He discusses the potential consequences of accidentally attacking a friendly target, which could result in a crime stat. Ultimately, he decides to destroy the target despite the confusion, finding that he does not incur a crime stat for doing so, which simplifies the mission.
The video concludes with Law reflecting on the unique circumstances of the mission, including encountering another player engaged in a similar bounty hunting task. He shares his experiences candidly, aiming to provide viewers with a realistic understanding of what to expect from the mission. Law thanks the audience for watching and encourages them to take care, wrapping up the video.
