In the video, the host introduces the new ARGO ATLS GEO, a mining vehicle in Star Citizen that features a unique design reminiscent of the original Atlas. Although the host could not access the vehicle personally due to not being an Evocati member, they provide insights based on research and a shoutout to a YouTube channel called Oto, which showcases the vehicle without commentary. The ARGO ATLS GEO is described as visually appealing, with a notable green paint job, but it raises questions about its balance due to its design, particularly the large backpack that seems to tilt the vehicle backward.
The vehicle is equipped with a container for mining resources, allowing players to fill it up and replace it with another container when full. Additionally, it has storage space for weapons and gear, although it does not come with a tractor beam. The host notes that players can bring their own tractor beam for added functionality. The design includes a battery that will be activated once engineering features are implemented in the game, indicating future enhancements.
A significant highlight of the ARGO ATLS GEO is its ability to fly, making it the first mech of its kind in Star Citizen. This flying capability brings the game closer to the potential for combat mechs, allowing players to traverse environments more efficiently than walking. The host expresses excitement about the vehicle’s flying mechanics and the smooth animations when it lands, emphasizing its agility and speed.
The mining laser on the vehicle operates with a cutting beam and a laser beam, and the host notes that while they have limited experience with mining in Star Citizen, the ARGO ATLS GEO offers a convenient entry point for players interested in this gameplay aspect. The vehicle is particularly useful for upcoming missions that involve mining in large caves, enhancing its practicality within the game.
In conclusion, the host shares their enthusiasm for the ARGO ATLS GEO and expresses a desire to try it out once the PTU becomes available. They also mention another vehicle being introduced, the Drake Golem mining ship, indicating that the patch focuses heavily on mining gameplay.
