In the video, the content creator tests the effectiveness of using a hoverbike to board and potentially destroy enemy ships in version 3.23 of Star Citizen. The hoverbike chosen for the test is the Dragonfly, equipped with two size one weapons - the dominant one laser scatter guns, known for their high DPS. The initial attempt to attack an enemy ship with the scatter guns reveals that they may not be effective due to potential power plant limitations. However, after getting closer and adjusting tactics, the scatter gun proves to be effective in destroying the enemy ship.
Subsequently, the content creator successfully boards multiple enemy ships, finding that some ships have shields while others do not. The lack of shields on certain enemy ships allows for easy destruction using the hoverbike’s weapons. However, a challenge arises when boarding one enemy ship triggers the hostility of other enemy ships, leading to being targeted and potentially destroyed. This obstacle highlights the importance of strategic planning and potentially eliminating some enemy ships before attempting to board.
Despite the challenges faced, the content creator manages to complete the mission by strategically boarding and taking control of an enemy ship. The hoverbike’s stealth capabilities are noted as a key advantage, as it allows for undetected approaches to enemy ships without triggering defensive measures. The content creator emphasizes the need to be cautious and prepared when boarding enemy ships to avoid being overwhelmed by multiple hostile targets.
The video showcases the potential of hoverbikes as a new ship boarding meta in version 3.23 of Star Citizen. The hoverbikes’ ability to evade detection and confusion among enemy ships provides a unique advantage for players looking to infiltrate and engage in ship-to-ship combat. The content creator recommends trying out hoverbikes in space missions but advises caution and strategic planning to navigate the challenges posed by hostile enemy ships.
Overall, the test with the hoverbike demonstrates its effectiveness in boarding and engaging enemy ships, showcasing its potential as a valuable tool for players in ship-based combat scenarios. The content creator’s experience highlights the importance of understanding game mechanics, utilizing stealth tactics, and adapting strategies to overcome obstacles in space missions.
