The video showcases the 325A ship in Star Citizen, highlighting its stealth-focused combat build that uses distortion repeaters to disable enemy ships by draining their electromagnetic power, allowing for easier takedowns. The host demonstrates effective combat tactics, compares different weapon configurations, and discusses the ship’s limitations against larger foes while previewing a future review of the more durable Saber ship.
In this video, the host explores the capabilities of the 325A ship in Star Citizen, focusing on its combat effectiveness and stealth features. Initially, he compares the 325A to other small combat ships, highlighting its advantages such as a larger front cannon and more than double the hull health compared to the racing variant. The host customizes the ship with a focus on stealth, power efficiency, and cooling, equipping it with an Attrition size 4 cannon, distortion repeaters, and size one electromagnetic missiles. He explains the strategic use of distortion repeaters to disable enemy ships by draining their electromagnetic power, rendering them immobile for about four minutes, which allows for easier elimination.
The host demonstrates his combat approach by undertaking small attack missions where he defends a ship under repair against attackers. He emphasizes the importance of managing power distribution between engines, guns, and shields to optimize performance and stealth. Throughout the engagements, he showcases how the ship’s weaponry effectively breaks down enemy shields and then targets their electromagnetic systems to disable them. This tactic proves effective in neutralizing foes quickly, especially when combined with the ship’s stealth capabilities, which reduce the chances of detection.
After testing the initial build, the host switches to a preferred setup featuring an M6A cannon and two Sucker Punch XL distortion cannons, which better suit his combat style that favors cannons over laser repeaters. This configuration delivers a higher initial alpha damage, allowing for quicker shield depletion and more efficient combat. He continues to demonstrate successful engagements using this setup, highlighting the balance between firepower and disabling enemy systems to maintain control of the battlefield.
The video also covers the challenges faced when confronting larger groups of enemies or bigger ships, where the 325A’s smaller size and health can become limiting factors. The host plans to test the Saber next, a slightly larger ship with significantly more hull health and similar armament options, to see if it performs better in tougher combat scenarios. He discusses the potential advantages of the Saber’s increased durability and firepower, suggesting it could be a viable upgrade for players looking for a more robust fighter.
Finally, the host provides a detailed breakdown of the ship’s stats and builds, comparing the original and customized setups using the DPS calculator. He explains the trade-offs between different weapon configurations, shield types, and power plants, emphasizing how his chosen build maximizes stealth and combat efficiency. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their opinions on the preferred ship and weapon setups, and a teaser for the upcoming Saber review, encouraging community engagement and feedback.
