In the video, the hosts discuss the new Sabre Peregrine in Star Citizen, highlighting its impressive straight-line speed but questioning its high price and lack of weaponry, which makes it less appealing as a racing ship. They appreciate its design while expressing skepticism about its marketability, inviting viewer feedback on its performance in racing scenarios.
In the video, the hosts discuss the newly released Sabre Peregrine in Star Citizen, humorously referring to it as the “Fool of a Took” after a character from Lord of the Rings. They express mixed feelings about the ship, noting that while it has impressive speed and acceleration, it feels like it lacks the innovation and appeal of its predecessor, the Sabre. They emphasize that the ship excels in straight-line speed, making it a strong contender for racing, but question its overall value given its high price tag and lack of weaponry.
The hosts compare the Sabre Peregrine’s speed to that of other ships, highlighting its superior forward thrust and boost speed. They mention that while it is faster in a straight line than other ships like the Raven and the Firebird, it falls behind in vertical and lateral thrust capabilities. This leads them to categorize the Peregrine as a “sprinter” rather than a versatile racing ship, suggesting that it may not perform well in more complex racing scenarios that require agility and maneuverability.
Visually, the hosts appreciate the design of the Sabre Peregrine, noting its aesthetic similarities to other Sabre models but with some distinct features like spoilers and new paint options. However, they point out that the ship’s components are similar to those of previous models, leading them to believe that it is more of a refined version rather than a groundbreaking new entry. They also mention the loud hanger noises in the game, which adds a humorous touch to their commentary.
A significant point of contention is the absence of weapons on the Sabre Peregrine. The hosts argue that this lack of armament makes it a hard sell as a racing ship, especially given its high price, which is the most expensive for a racing ship to date. They express skepticism about the ship’s marketability, particularly in a time when racing ships typically do not perform well in sales, and they highlight the importance of having some combat capability for a ship designed for racing.
In conclusion, the hosts invite viewer feedback, particularly from those who are racing enthusiasts, to share their thoughts on the Sabre Peregrine. They encourage discussion on the ship’s performance in races and whether its lack of weapons is a significant drawback. Despite their critique, they acknowledge the potential for the ship to excel in specific racing contexts, but they remain cautious about its overall success in the market.
