In the video, Double Noson and RootedAdmin discuss their experiences and thoughts on Day 2 of the Aegis event in Star Citizen. They express their fondness for Aegis as a ship manufacturer, ranking it among their favorites alongside Anvil. However, they also lament the recent nerfs affecting some of Aegis’s ships, particularly the Redeemer, which has seen significant reductions in its capabilities. The hosts note that while they enjoy Aegis ships, the recent changes have been disappointing and suggest that the nerfs are more related to the game’s marketing strategies rather than the quality of the manufacturer.

As they explore the event, the duo reflects on their previous successes with the Reclaimer, a ship that has also been nerfed, impacting their ability to earn in-game currency through salvaging. They recount how they used to make substantial profits with it, which allowed them to support other players in the community.

They discuss the challenges of accessing the larger ships, like the Reclaimer, highlighting issues with cargo elevators and the overall functionality of the ships. Despite the frustrations, they acknowledge the beauty and potential of these ships, even if their current state is less than ideal.

The hosts continue to evaluate various ships, including the Vanguard series, which they have historically enjoyed. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different variants and express a desire for improvements, particularly in shielding and fuel capacity. They also touch on the importance of teamwork when operating larger ships like the Hammerhead, which requires a coordinated crew to be effective. Their nostalgia for past gameplay experiences is evident as they reminisce about their time spent in these ships.

In conclusion, Double Noson and RootedAdmin emphasize the bittersweet nature of their favorite ships being nerfed and express concern over the future of Star Citizen’s ship balance. They advise viewers to be cautious about spending real money on the game, recommending that players earn their ships through gameplay instead.
