In this episode of the CUBE Fury Swarm Initiative for Star Citizen, the team executed a well-coordinated Fury swarm operation using an Idris as the carrier and a Polaris for support, overcoming entity limits and server challenges through disciplined teamwork and tactical communication. Despite some logistical hurdles like magazine refills, the event showcased effective large-scale fleet coordination, strategic combat, and the importance of support roles in maintaining swarm effectiveness.
In this episode of the CUBE Fury Swarm Initiative for Star Citizen, the team organized a classic Fury swarm operation using an Idris as the mother ship and Fury carrier. Accompanying the Idris was a Polaris, which served as the support ship responsible for Fury repair, resupply, weapon swaps, and missile rearming. The team highlighted an important limitation: the Idris can only hold 20 Furies due to entity limits, and once exceeded, the earliest Furies begin to despawn. To address this, the Polaris followed closely to provide continuous resupply and support during the operation.
The event was described as one of the best organized and smoothest the team had ever conducted, despite some server struggles when the cube of ships assembled. Strict discipline was enforced among members to ensure coordinated efforts, and special thanks were given to those who helped prepare and organize the event days in advance. The video then transitions into the action, showing the team boarding their Furies, coordinating their movements, and preparing for combat with clear communication about formations, target priorities, and safety measures.
During the engagement, the squadron focused on taking down enemy fighters first before moving on to larger ships such as the Hammerhead and Warden. The team demonstrated tactical coordination by prioritizing ships with ballistic weapons and coordinating missile strikes to maximize damage. The pilots communicated effectively to avoid collisions and maintain formation, while also managing countermeasures and rearming when necessary. The combat was intense but well-managed, with multiple successful kills and strategic retreats to regroup.
One notable challenge encountered was the inability to refill the magile (magazine) on the Idris, which forced some players to return to their home base for resupply. Despite this, the Polaris support ship proved invaluable by providing quick repairs and missile reloads mid-battle, acting like a pit stop for the swarm. The team also noted the impressive server improvements, as previous attempts with fewer ships had caused crashes, but this event held steady even with a large number of ships and coordinated missile strikes.
The video concludes with the team regrouping, rearming, and preparing for further operations. The camaraderie and teamwork were evident throughout, with members joking and supporting each other while maintaining focus on their objectives. Overall, the Fury Swarm Initiative showcased the potential of coordinated squad play in Star Citizen, highlighting both the strengths and challenges of large-scale fleet operations within the game’s current mechanics and server limitations.
