In the video, the host, Rad, introduces viewers to his recent purchase in Star Citizen, the Origin 85X, which he acquired for 575,000 aUEC. He considers this ship a valuable investment, especially with the game’s update 3.24, and plans to use it for trading. After showcasing the compact size of the 85X in his hangar, Rad heads out to demonstrate its capabilities by flying to various trading outposts to buy commodities, particularly focusing on Atin for a projected profit margin.
As Rad prepares for his first trade run, he highlights the speed and agility of the 85X, noting how quickly he can reach the necessary altitude for Quantum travel. He expresses excitement about the ship’s performance, emphasizing that it allows for efficient travel between different locations in the game. He checks a third-party website to identify profitable trading opportunities and sets his sights on purchasing Atin at a nearby moon while discussing his dislike for the current visual aesthetics of the game.
Upon arriving at the trading post, Rad encounters some challenges in locating the storage building where he can purchase commodities. After a brief search, he successfully finds it and begins buying Atin, planning to fill his ship with various container sizes to optimize future trips with his larger cargo ship, the C2 Hercules. He shares his strategy of gradually filling his inventory to save time on future trading runs, ensuring that when he returns with a cargo ship, it will be fully loaded.
Rad then continues his trading journey, making stops at multiple outposts to buy additional commodities, including Lanite. He discusses the importance of being cautious of potential threats from NPCs and other players while navigating the game’s universe. Despite facing some inventory issues at one outpost where the desired commodities weren’t available, he remains undeterred and quickly moves on to another location, demonstrating the efficiency of the 85X.
In conclusion, Rad reflects on his trading experience and the effectiveness of the 85X as a commuter ship. He expresses anticipation for future videos where he will evaluate the profitability of his investments and share updates with viewers. Rad thanks his audience for watching, encourages subscriptions, and acknowledges his supporters on Patreon and YouTube, promising to return with more content in the future.
