The video is part four of a fan-made series exploring the cargo module of the concept ship “Galaxy” from Star Citizen, detailing its development timeline, cargo capacity, and unique features like a tractor beam crane system. The creator discusses the design’s practicality for cargo operations and humorously experiments with fitting various ships and vehicles within the module, inviting supporters to explore the reconstructed interior.
The video is part four of a fan-made series exploring the concept ship “Galaxy” from the game Star Citizen. The creator clarifies that everything shown is based on their reconstruction of official blueprints, and the Galaxy is still in the concept stage. This video specifically focuses on the cargo module of the Galaxy, which was initially thought to be a brief segment but turned out to reveal interesting details. The creator also thanks their supporters on Patreon and YouTube, who can now explore the reconstructed interior of the Galaxy themselves.
The video begins with updates about the Galaxy’s development timeline, indicating that it is coming later than expected due to other ships taking priority in development. The creator acknowledges the frustration among fans regarding this delay but explains that the focus on military ships like the Polaris and the Perseus is valid since the Galaxy has a more civilian-oriented design. Additionally, there was confusion about whether the Galaxy would include a base-building module, but it has been confirmed that such a module will be added in the future.
The cargo module itself has a capacity of 512 SCU, which can hold 16 standard 32 SCU crates, adding to the main hangar’s 64 SCU for a total of 576 SCU. The creator discusses the layout of the cargo area, noting that while it seems spacious, it could potentially be optimized for more efficient use of space. The cargo lift’s design is also examined, with the creator speculating on its capacity and functionality, as well as its limitations when loading and unloading cargo.
One unique feature of the cargo module is the bespoke tractor beam crane system, designed to enhance the industrial feel of the ship. The creator expresses mixed feelings about the design, initially viewing it as potentially unnecessary but later appreciating its role in adding immersion to the gameplay experience. The video also highlights potential issues with loading efficiency compared to dedicated cargo ships and suggests that the overall design may not be as practical for cargo operations.
Towards the end, the creator experiments with how various ships and vehicles can fit within the Galaxy’s cargo module. They humorously explore the possibility of fitting multiple small ships and ground vehicles, noting the challenges presented by the design. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to check out the reconstructed interior, which is available for supporters, and thanks the audience for their engagement and support throughout the series.
