In the video, EAD showcases the Mirai Guardian ship in Star Citizen, demonstrating the effectiveness of replacing its default cannons with size five Attrition laser repeaters for improved combat performance. He successfully engages various targets, highlighting the advantages of faster firing rates, while also announcing a giveaway for the Mirai Guardian and expressing gratitude to his supporters.
In the video, the host, EAD, introduces a gameplay session featuring the Mirai Guardian ship in Star Citizen, focusing on a requested modification: replacing its default cannons with laser repeaters. He begins by visiting the Hurston flagship store of Honn Dynamics to purchase size five Attrition laser repeaters, emphasizing his preference for close combat and faster firing rates over the slower, single-shot cannons. He mentions the high cost of the new weapons, spending over 500,000 Alpha UEC, and sets the stage for testing their effectiveness in combat missions.
EAD then dives into the gameplay, taking on various combat missions available in the area. He notes a known issue with some missions not spawning enemies, which the developers are working to fix in the upcoming Star Citizen 4.0 update. Despite this, he is optimistic about the bounty hunting missions, particularly since he has chosen to engage with lower-tier targets initially. His first target is an Origin 85X, a small and agile ship, which he anticipates would have been challenging to defeat with the original cannons.
As he engages the 85X, EAD is pleased to find that the Attrition laser repeaters make quick work of the target, showcasing the advantages of faster firing rates in taking down smaller ships. He reflects on the previous difficulty he faced with the cannons, highlighting how the new setup allows for a more enjoyable and effective combat experience. He successfully destroys the target with ease, leading him to wonder if this performance will be consistent across different mission types.
Next, EAD takes on a mission involving a Prospector ship, which is larger and slower than the previous target. He continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of the laser repeaters, even attempting to engage in combat from a third-person perspective for added enjoyment. He acknowledges the trade-off between damage per shot and the increased frequency of hits with laser repeaters, arguing that the latter is more advantageous in practice, especially when dealing with agile opponents.
Towards the end of the video, EAD reminds viewers about a giveaway for the Mirai Guardian, explaining the entry requirements for subscribers and supporters on Patreon or YouTube. He expresses gratitude to his supporters, emphasizing that their contributions enable him to create content. The video concludes with EAD encouraging viewers to engage with the channel and stay tuned for future updates and gameplay experiences.
