In the video, the focus was on two new vehicles in Star Citizen: the RSI öa Medivac and the Argo MPUV Tractor. The öa Medivac is a medical support vehicle with a tier 3 medbed, turret, and jump seat. It can serve as a respawn point and treat tier 3 injuries, making it a valuable addition for ground operations. The vehicle is similar in size to the standard öa and offers protection and utility for medical purposes. It is available for purchase on the RSI website and has customizable skins.
The Q&A for the öa Medivac provided insights into its differences from other Rovers, its defenses, and its role in the “Death of a Spaceman” concept. The vehicle has improved armor and dual bardog lasers for defense. The respawn capability ties into a broader system aimed at adding meaning and danger to player experiences in the game. The Medivac’s top speed is slightly slower due to added armor, and it features storage, a medbed, and a jump seat.
The Argo MPUV Tractor is a modular vehicle designed for cargo handling and personnel transport. It features dual tract beams for cargo handling and a modular setup for varied loading operations. The vehicle is lighter and more maneuverable than other MPUV variants, making it suitable for heavy lifting tasks. It can dynamically handle 16 SCU cargo containers and has a modular bay for cargo or personnel transport pods.
The Q&A for the MPUV Tractor discussed its intended role, compatibility with different ships, and modularity. The vehicle can be used for loading and unloading larger ships, local deliveries, and moving heavy items. It can carry cargo containers using tractor beams and offers modular versatility. The vehicle’s cockpit setup differs from other MPUV variants, and it will support varied loading operations with the introduction of freight elevators.
Both the öa Medivac and the MPUV Tractor offer unique utility and gameplay possibilities in Star Citizen. The vehicles provide players with options for medical support, cargo handling, and personnel transport. Their modularity and functionality make them valuable assets for different types of gameplay scenarios. The introduction of these vehicles showcases the ongoing development and expansion of gameplay mechanics within the Star Citizen universe.
