The video showcases the Argo CSV, a new vehicle in Star Citizen, highlighting its features such as a spacious cargo area, life support system, and compatibility with various ships, including the Retaliator and Drake Caterpillar. However, the presenter notes challenges with fitting the CSV into larger ships and expresses concerns about potential damage to the vehicle’s hull during loading due to invisible collisions.
The video introduces the Argo CSV, a new vehicle released during CitizenCon. The presenter begins by exploring the ship’s features, including its cargo area, and testing its functionalities. They highlight the various buttons and controls inside the ship, such as the deploy button, tool rack, and the computer bay. The presenter notes the ship’s life support system and cargo bay, emphasizing its design as a “pickup truck” style vehicle without a ramp for loading and unloading.
The Argo CSV boasts an impressive storage capacity of 730k micro ICU, which is significant for a vehicle of its size. The presenter walks through the ship’s components, including a size zero cooler, shield generator, and power plant, all of which contribute to the vehicle’s functionality. The cockpit area is examined, showcasing leather-like seats and various buttons for managing systems and power, although the vehicle lacks weaponry.
Next, the presenter tests the compatibility of the Argo CSV with other ships. They use a tractor beam to lift the vehicle and attempt to fit it into various cargo holds. The Argo CSV successfully fits into several ships, including the Retaliator, Spirit C1, A1 Spirit, Nomad, and Drake Caterpillar, demonstrating its versatility. However, they encounter challenges with larger ships like the Drake Vulture and Misk Freelancer, where the CSV does not fit properly.
The presenter continues to test the Argo CSV with other ships, including the Origin 400i and 600i, as well as the Constellation Phoenix. While the CSV fits well in most vessels, the presenter notes that the 400i poses height issues, resulting in potential damage to the ship’s paint. They conclude that the CSV fits comfortably in the Zeus ES and CL, indicating its compatibility with a wide range of ships.
In closing, the presenter expresses concerns regarding the Argo CSV’s design, mentioning that they experienced repeated instances of damaging the outer hull or ramp of the ships while driving the CSV into their cargo holds. This suggests potential issues with invisible collisions that may need addressing. The video wraps up with the presenter thanking viewers and inviting them to watch future content.
