The video demonstrates how to convert an Idris capital ship into a versatile mobile base by storing a variety of smaller ships and vehicles inside it, enabling players to efficiently engage in combat, mining, salvaging, scouting, and medical support without frequent trips to stations. The creator highlights the strategic organization of the fleet and equipment, encourages multiplayer cooperation, and looks forward to future game features that will further enhance this self-sufficient gameplay approach.
In this video, the creator introduces a plan to transform their Idris capital ship into a versatile mobile base in Star Citizen. They explain that while the Idris is the largest and most capable, similar setups can be achieved with other large ships like the C2, M2, A2, or Caterpillar. The idea is to equip the capital ship with various smaller vehicles and ships to cover different gameplay aspects such as combat, mining, salvaging, scouting, and medical support, making it a self-sufficient hub for multiple activities.
The creator begins by showcasing the different ships and vehicles they plan to store inside the Idris. These include the Salvation salvage ship, chosen for its size and utility; a fast Aegis Paragreen racing ship repurposed as a scout; the Golem mining ship for resource gathering; and the Argo ATLS for ground combat and cargo handling. Each vehicle is carefully parked inside the Idris in a way that maximizes space and accessibility, demonstrating thoughtful organization to ensure smooth operations.
In addition to ships, the video highlights smaller vehicles like the hover quad and the medical Pisces, which provide mobility and medical support on the ground. The hover quad is praised for its stability and control, while the medical Pisces offers quick healing and limited cargo capacity. The creator also emphasizes the importance of the Hornet F7A, a nimble and powerful fighter ship, as a key defensive asset for the mobile base, rounding out the fleet’s capabilities.
The video also touches on the convenience of having storage boxes inside the Idris to keep collected loot and supplies organized. The large ramp of the Idris facilitates easy loading and unloading of vehicles and cargo. The creator envisions this setup enabling players to avoid frequent trips to space stations or planets, allowing them to log in and immediately engage in various gameplay activities directly from their mobile base, enhancing efficiency and immersion.
Finally, the creator encourages players to try this setup, especially when grinding for in-game rewards, and suggests that playing with friends can make the experience even more enjoyable and effective. They express hope that future game updates will add features like in-ship rearming and refueling, which would further enhance the mobile base concept. The video concludes by teasing a follow-up video showcasing the Idris in action and inviting viewers to subscribe and stay tuned.
