In this video, the creator equips the little Basher ship in Star Citizen with six Dominance scatter guns purchased from Hurston’s Lorville, showcasing their powerful close-range firepower despite facing significant server issues that hinder testing. While impressed by the damage potential, he critiques the guns’ limited range and manual firing, inviting viewers to share their thoughts and suggesting alternative weapons for future loadouts.
In this video, the creator takes viewers to Hurston’s Lorville Central Business District in Star Citizen to equip the little Basher ship with six Dominance scatter guns, which are only available for purchase at this location or at Levski. These scatter guns function like space shotguns and promise devastating firepower when mounted on the Basher. The video begins with a detailed guide on navigating the complex interior of the business district to find the shop selling these weapons, highlighting the somewhat confusing layout of hallways and large spaces.
After purchasing the six size two Dominance scatter guns, the creator proceeds to equip them onto the Basher, replacing the ship’s original crayon weapons, which he dislikes. He mentions some limitations, such as the inability to remove hardpoints or customize the ship’s body kits, but is excited about the new loadout. He also stresses the importance of insuring the loadout to avoid losing the expensive guns upon ship destruction. The Basher, now armed with the scatter guns, looks visually impressive despite its rough appearance.
The creator then tests the Basher in combat, noting the guns’ effectiveness at close range where they can quickly strip down shields and damage enemy ships. However, he encounters significant server issues that cause the ships to behave docilely and some scatter guns to fail to fire, which hampers the testing experience. He expresses frustration with having to press the fire button repeatedly for each shot and the need to be extremely close to targets to maximize damage, which he sees as a downside.
Despite switching through multiple servers, the server problems persist, limiting the quality of the combat test. Nevertheless, the creator demonstrates the Basher’s potential power, showing how quickly it can destroy other ships when it connects hits properly. He acknowledges the challenge of using scatter guns in space combat due to target movement and the guns’ limited effective range. The video concludes with a final ship destruction, albeit with delayed damage registration due to server lag.
In closing, the creator shares his thoughts on the scatter gun build, appreciating the firepower but disliking the close-range requirement and manual firing mechanic. He invites viewers to comment on their opinions about this setup and the Basher ship itself, suggesting that other weapons like M4As or Deadbolts might be better alternatives for future tests. He encourages subscriptions and sharing of the video, signing off with a friendly farewell to fellow Star Citizen players.
