Why I Regretted Ignoring the Asgard in Star Citizen… Until Now

The creator initially dismissed the Asgard in Star Citizen due to personal frustrations and preferences but eventually reconsidered after seeing its versatility and community support, leading to their purchase. They now enjoy using the Asgard for combat and bounty hunting, expressing hope for future improvements to other ships like the Redeemer and encouraging community engagement.

The creator initially dismissed the Asgard ship in Star Citizen, viewing it as just a Valkyrie variant with no practical appeal, especially due to past frustrations with ladders in the game. Despite hearing positive feedback from the community and seeing the ship’s features like increased space for ground vehicles and added weaponry, they remained uninterested, relying instead on other ships like the Corsair. Their perception was shaped by their personal experiences and preferences, leading them to overlook the Asgard for a long time.

Over time, they observed other players enjoying the Asgard as a versatile daily flyer, which made them reconsider its potential usefulness. The ship’s ability to serve multiple roles—combat, ground vehicle transport, and general utility—began to appeal more to their gameplay needs. However, they still hesitated due to financial considerations, aiming to save money for a new PC and not wanting to spend heavily on a ship. This cautious approach kept them from making an immediate purchase, despite recognizing the ship’s growing appeal.

Eventually, they decided to evaluate the ship more seriously after noticing that upgrading from their Redeemer to the Asgard was only $20, making it cheaper than the Valkyrie and an attractive option. They also sought community opinions via social media, which overwhelmingly supported their decision to purchase the Asgard. This collective encouragement, along with the realization of the ship’s value, prompted them to finally acquire the vessel, which they now use for combat and bounty hunting missions, finding it much more satisfying than their previous Redeemer.

The creator reflects on the Redeemer, which they no longer use due to its flaws and frustrations, despite its sentimental value as a symbol of a future ship they anticipated. They express hope that Cloud Imperium Games will revisit and properly improve the Redeemer, as it currently doesn’t meet their expectations. They acknowledge that the Asgard might eventually receive nerfs as part of the game’s balancing process, but they believe it will remain a versatile and enjoyable ship for their gameplay style.

In conclusion, the creator encourages viewers to share their opinions on whether they made the right choice in upgrading to the Asgard and invites them to participate in a giveaway for a Guardian MX ship. They emphasize the importance of community feedback and support, thanking supporters through Patreon and YouTube memberships. The video ends with a call to action, sharing excitement for future content and adventures in Star Citizen’s evolving universe.
