The video offers a first look at the Argo ATLS in Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.1 PTU, highlighting its cargo handling capabilities and the current bugs affecting its functionality, especially with larger ships. Despite these issues, the ATLS’s unique movement styles and impressive tractor beam range are showcased, with the presenter encouraging players to share their experiences and explore the game’s evolving features.
The video provides a first look at the Argo ATLS, a new addition to Star Citizen Alpha 3.24.1 PTU. The Argo ATLS is designed for cargo handling, allowing players to easily pick up and move cargo by simply pointing and clicking where they want to place it. However, the functionality is currently experiencing some bugs, as noted in the patch notes, which can affect the loading process, especially when working with larger ships like the Caterpillar.
The Argo ATLS has been described as a cute addition to the game’s cargo mechanics, enhancing the player’s ability to manage their cargo empire. It features different movement speeds, including a walk, a slightly agitated ramble, and a dressing shuffle, which adds a bit of character to the device. Players are encouraged to experiment with the ATLS and share their experiences, despite the early-stage bugs in the system.
One of the highlights of the Argo ATLS is its impressive range when using the tractor beam. The video demonstrates how the ATLS can easily reach cargo located in an extra-large hangar, showcasing its utility in managing large amounts of cargo efficiently. This functionality is particularly beneficial for players who engage in extensive cargo operations within the game.
The presenter expresses hope for future updates to the ATLS, such as the addition of headlamps, as there are already buttons for them included in the design. Additionally, there is a mention of a lack of beacon lights, which seems to be a trend in recent updates from the developers at CIG. This absence of lighting features raises questions about the design choices being made for the Argo ATLS and other vehicles in the game.
The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts and experiences with the Argo ATLS in the comments section. The presenter encourages players to continue exploring the game and to “fly safe,” fostering a sense of community among players as they navigate the evolving universe of Star Citizen.
