The video tests which flyable ships in Star Citizen can accommodate the MISC Starlite, revealing that the Idris M and P are the best fits, followed by the Polaris, Ironclad, and 890 Jump with various maneuvering and hangar management required. It provides practical insights into the challenges and solutions for carrying the Starlite, making it a valuable guide for players using the ship as a refueling or support vessel.
In this video, the creator tests which ships can accommodate the MISC Starlite, a ship with all size one components but not considered small in size. The testing is done in alphabetical order with all currently flyable ships to provide a comprehensive overview. The first ship tested is the Aegis Hammerhead, confirming the Starlite’s relatively large size. The Idris M and Idris P are then tested, showing that the Starlite fits inside these ships with some maneuvering, such as sliding the ship and lowering landing gear, although exiting the hangar requires turning the ship around.
Next, larger ships like the Carrack, Asgard, C2 Hercules, and Caterpillar are tested, with the Starlite not fitting inside any of these due to their hangar sizes or ship dimensions. However, the Starlite can fit on top of the Asgard, but not inside it. The Ironclad Assault is tested next, and the Starlite barely fits inside this ship’s hangar, but height clearance is an issue. To prevent the top hangar from opening during quantum jumps and pushing the ship out, an engineering terminal must be used to keep the hangar permanently open.
The 890 Jump is another challenging fit; the Starlite fits very tightly inside its hangar but is not very stable, requiring careful handling to avoid damage during takeoff and landing. The Polaris is tested last, and it can carry the Starlite as well, but the hangar is slightly shorter than the Starlite’s length. This requires nose-in landing with the landing gear down, and like the Ironclad, the hangar must be kept open using an engineering terminal to avoid pushing the Starlite out.
In addition to fitting the Starlite, the video mentions that extra fuel pods can be placed in the Polaris cargo bay, with plans to test these fuel pods in more detail in the Persistent Universe (PU). The testing is done in Arena Commander, a simulation environment, rather than live gameplay. The video concludes by summarizing the best options for carrying the Starlite: the Idris M or P as the top choice, followed by the Polaris, then the Ironclad, and finally the 890 Jump, which is considered risky.
Overall, the video provides a detailed and practical guide on which ships can carry the MISC Starlite, highlighting the challenges and workarounds for fitting it inside larger capital ships. The creator emphasizes maneuvering techniques and ship-specific considerations, making it a useful resource for players looking to use the Starlite as a refueling or support ship in Star Citizen.
