In the video, EAD demonstrates how to build a custom racing track in Star Citizen using waste materials purchased from a trade terminal, aiming to create a more enjoyable racing experience compared to existing tracks. After constructing the track in his hangar, he tests it with a PTV, highlighting its viability and encouraging other players to create their own racing circuits.
In the video, the host, EAD, introduces an exciting concept for players of Star Citizen: building a custom racing track in their hangar. The process begins at a trade terminal in Area 18, where EAD discusses purchasing waste materials to construct the track. He emphasizes the importance of selecting cheaper waste options rather than expensive items, explaining that he will be using smaller containers for the corners and straights of the track. The host humorously speculates on the reactions of developers at CIG when they notice players buying waste for this unconventional purpose.
EAD shares his motivation for creating a personal racing track, citing frustrations with existing PTV racing tracks in the game. He finds that the current tracks are often too narrow and lead to frequent vehicle breakage, diminishing the enjoyment of high-speed racing. With the intention of enhancing the racing experience, he envisions a layout that mimics classic go-kart tracks, which he believes would be more enjoyable for players.
After purchasing the waste, EAD begins the construction process in his hangar, using a multitool and a tractor beam to arrange the containers into the desired track shape. He notes that the building process is time-consuming, taking nearly an hour, but he accelerates the footage for viewers to maintain engagement. As he lays out the track, he describes the intended layout, including turns, straightaways, and the starting grid, while also sharing his excitement about the project.
Once the track is set up, EAD takes a PTV for a test drive, showcasing the racing experience on his newly created circuit. He carefully navigates the track, highlighting various turns and straights, and reflects on the thrill of racing. Throughout the test laps, he notes the PTV’s handling and the overall viability of the makeshift track, expressing satisfaction with how the containers remain in place despite potential collisions.
In conclusion, EAD emphasizes that building a racing track in Star Citizen hangars is not only a fun activity but also a feasible one, suggesting that other players and organizations might consider doing the same for their racing events. He thanks his supporters on Patreon and YouTube for their contributions and expresses hope that viewers will find inspiration in his project. The video wraps up with a call to action for viewers to share their thoughts and experiences with custom tracks in the game.
