In the video, Irad evaluates the Argo Atlas in Star Citizen, expressing frustration with its ineffectiveness for loading larger ships due to clunky cargo management and positioning challenges. However, he finds it much more efficient for transferring cargo to freight elevators, highlighting its utility in streamlining unloading operations despite its limitations in loading.
In the video, the host, Irad, explores the Argo Atlas in Star Citizen, specifically evaluating its effectiveness for loading ships and handling freight. He shares his personal experience of struggling with cargo management using the multi-tool, which caused him wrist pain. With the Argo Atlas, he hopes to improve the trade experience and alleviate some of the difficulties he faced during previous cargo runs.
As Irad begins to use the Argo Atlas, he discusses the importance of properly arranging cargo to maximize space and ensure balance within the ship. He notes that, similar to real-world transport vehicles, the game mechanics might require players to consider weight distribution when loading cargo. However, he quickly encounters challenges with the Atlas, finding the loading process to be clunky and frustrating, as he struggles to position the cargo containers correctly without damaging the ship.
Throughout the loading attempts, Irad expresses his disappointment with the functionality of the Argo Atlas, describing it as unsuitable for loading larger ships like the Hercules C2. He experiences difficulties maneuvering the cargo, leading to a chaotic and time-consuming process. Despite his efforts to use the tractor beam effectively, he finds himself repeatedly damaging his ship and wasting time, ultimately concluding that the Atlas might be better suited for organizing smaller loads or freight elevators rather than large ship loading.
After unloading the ship manually, Irad tries using the Argo Atlas for transferring cargo to the freight elevator. He finds this process to be much more manageable and efficient compared to loading directly into the ship. The Atlas proves to be a helpful tool for moving cargo crates to the elevator, highlighting its potential for streamlining unloading operations, even if it falls short in the initial loading phase.
In conclusion, while the Argo Atlas does not significantly improve the loading experience for large ships, it does provide a more convenient solution for managing cargo at freight elevators. Irad acknowledges that, despite its limitations, the Atlas can still enhance certain aspects of cargo handling in Star Citizen.
