In the video, the host showcases the “Dying Star” paint for the Cutter and Cutlass Black ships in Star Citizen, highlighting its colorful and graffiti-style design, which they consider one of the best available despite some areas feeling incomplete. They express enthusiasm for the paint’s aesthetic and hope for future designs to be developed for other ships, emphasizing the potential for improved visual appeal in the game.
In the video, the host discusses their experience creating paint showcase videos for Star Citizen, specifically during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE). They express that while they have produced numerous videos featuring new ship paints and the best in show paints, they found many of these designs to be mediocre or disappointing. However, they are excited about showcasing two specific paints called “Dying Star,” which are designed for the Cutter and Cutlass Black ships, as they believe these are some of the best paints available.
The host explains that the Dying Star paint can be applied to various models of the Cutter, including the base Cutter, Cutter Rumbler, and Cutter Scout. They demonstrate applying the paint to their Cutter Rumbler and Cutter Scout, noting that the design is colorful and visually appealing. They appreciate the graffiti style of the paint, although they wish there was more coverage on certain areas of the ships, particularly the tail and the starboard side.
Next, the host showcases the Dying Star paint on the Cutlass Black, highlighting how it looks on different ship models, including the Cutlass Red and Cutlass Blue. They comment on the aesthetic of the paint, noting that while it has some areas that feel incomplete, it still stands out as a high-quality design compared to the previously released best in show paints. The host emphasizes that the Dying Star paint is a significant improvement and brings a unique flair to the ships.
Throughout the video, the host also shares their thoughts on the overall quality of the paints in Star Citizen, expressing a desire for more asymmetrical designs and additional graffiti coverage on the ships. They take the audience on a visual tour of the ships, showcasing the paint from various angles and commenting on how the design changes depending on the perspective. Despite some shortcomings, the host remains enthusiastic about the Dying Star paint and its potential.
Finally, the host mentions that these paints are part of the December 2024 subscriber flare and are available for a price of $5 for the Cutter and $7 for the Cutlass. They express hope that more Dying Star paints will be developed for other ships in the future, such as the Polaris and A90 Jump, and they are eager to see how these designs can enhance the visual appeal of various ships in the Star Citizen universe.
