In the video titled “MIRAI MISC IAE 2024 DAY 3 | STAR CITIZEN,” the hosts, Execute and Astro, discuss various ships showcased during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) event. They express excitement about the unique aspects of the event this year, particularly appreciating the return of some familiar faces and the inclusion of the QA team who provided insights into the Polaris ship. The conversation highlights the importance of hearing from players who have tested the ships, rather than just the designers, to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each vessel.
The discussion shifts to the Fury ship variants, the Fury LX and Fury MX, where the hosts express confusion over the pricing structure, noting that a snub fighter can be more expensive than larger ships like the Aurora. They speculate about the potential for future motherships that could enhance gameplay, especially with swappable modules for larger ships.

The Endeavor is highlighted as a ship that could serve multiple roles, including exploration and resource gathering, making it a significant asset for players interested in those gameplay mechanics.
The conversation continues with the Freelancer series, where the hosts compare the different variants and discuss their roles in the game. They express a preference for the Freelancer Max due to its cargo capacity and efficiency, while also acknowledging the need for improvements in the ship’s interior design. The hosts emphasize the importance of the Freelancer’s versatility and its potential to become a popular choice among players once the game expands further.
Finally, the hosts touch on the Starlancer ships and their niche roles in the game. They critique the design choices and functionality of the Starlancer, questioning its value compared to other cargo ships. The video concludes with a commentary on the overall state of the Star Citizen community, noting a decline in engagement and viewership during the IAE event.
