In the video, the creator demonstrates outfitting a Polaris ship with ballistic weapons and showcases its combat capabilities, highlighting the effectiveness of NPC gunners during battles. Despite facing challenges such as friendly fire and limited ammunition, they engage in intense combat scenarios before concluding with a dramatic self-destruction of the ship.
In the video, the creator showcases their experience capturing an NPC Polaris ship equipped with four gunners. The goal is to build a fully ballistic Polaris, utilizing various types of ballistic weapons. The creator starts with a Hornet Mark I, which has two size four ballistic Reverend Gatling guns. After repairing the guns, they detach them from the Hornet and attach them to the Polaris, aiming to enhance its firepower.
As the creator begins the process of outfitting the Polaris, they encounter an unexpected challenge when a size six gun on the Polaris kills them. This incident highlights the NPC’s capability to use the ship’s weaponry effectively. The creator successfully installs eight size four Reverend Gatling guns and switches the size three guns to Mantis Gatling guns, completing the ballistic configuration of the Polaris. They also mention the presence of torpedoes on board, suggesting that the ship could be even more formidable than other ships in the game.
Once the Polaris is fully equipped, the creator engages in combat, noting that the NPC gunners are performing exceptionally well and targeting enemies effectively. They fire torpedoes and witness impressive combat performance, although they accidentally hit their own torpedo with friendly fire. The creator expresses excitement over the ship’s capabilities, pointing out that the gunners are managing targets efficiently and showcasing the ship’s firepower.
However, the creator soon realizes that the NPC gunners may not have unlimited ballistic ammunition, as they stop firing after a while. This prompts them to land the Polaris for repairs and to restart the gunners. After addressing the issue, they engage in another round of combat, targeting another Polaris. Despite some challenges, such as friendly fire and missed shots, they manage to hit enemy ships and achieve their combat objectives.
Towards the end of the video, the creator decides to self-destruct the Polaris to complete the mission. However, they face a time crunch, leading to their demise in the process. This dramatic conclusion emphasizes the risks involved in their gameplay and the challenges of managing a ship and its gunners in intense combat situations. Overall, the video showcases the excitement and complexities of piloting and outfitting a Polaris ship in the game.
