The video discusses the stealth capabilities of various ships in Star Citizen following the 3.24.2 patch, highlighting significant improvements in emissions reduction for ships like the Eclipse and Firebird, which both achieve a 40% stealth reduction. It includes detailed analyses of ship performance under different power management settings and demonstrates successful stealth operations, emphasizing the strategic advantages of using stealth ships in combat scenarios.
In the video, the presenter discusses the official stealth ships in the Star Citizen game, particularly focusing on the changes introduced in the 3.24.2 patch. The video highlights the performance of various ships regarding their stealth capabilities, which are quantified by a percentage reduction in emissions such as infrared (IR) and electromagnetic (EM) signatures. The Eclipse and Firebird, for instance, both have a 40% stealth reduction, which significantly enhances their stealthy characteristics. The presenter notes that the overall stealth factor of all ships has improved due to recent component changes.
The video outlines the official stealth ships as of patch 3.24, including the Eclipse, Sabre, Raven, Talon, Talon Strike, Firebird, and Razor EX, while noting the removal of the Mustang Delta from the stealth category. The Hornet Ghost is mentioned as having a 15% stealth reduction, with the presenter indicating that it can achieve a detection range as low as 1.2 kilometers. The Prowler’s stealth capabilities have also been enhanced, boasting up to 60% reduction in EM signature, making it a formidable stealth drop ship.
The presenter conducts a detailed analysis of the Aegis Eclipse, showcasing its stealth performance under various power management settings. By adjusting the power to different components, such as turning off shields and weapons, the Eclipse’s EM signature can be reduced significantly, resulting in a detection range of less than 1.2 kilometers. The video demonstrates that even in Quantum mode, the Eclipse can maintain a low EM signature, emphasizing its effectiveness in stealth operations.
Next, the Sabre and Sabre Comet are evaluated, with the presenter experimenting with the impact of power plant configurations on stealth performance. By equipping only one power plant, the Sabre’s EM signature is lowered, illustrating how power management can enhance stealth capabilities. Similar tests are conducted with the Sabre Firebird and Sabre Raven, both of which also demonstrate the importance of managing power to achieve optimal stealth performance. The Raven, equipped with EMP generators, showcases unique tactical advantages in stealth engagements.
The video concludes with demonstrations of stealth operations using the ships, including successful missile strikes and EMP attacks on enemy vessels. The presenter highlights the strategic advantages of stealth ships in combat scenarios, emphasizing their ability to approach targets undetected and execute precise strikes. The analysis of each ship’s capabilities and the practical demonstrations provide valuable insights for players looking to optimize their stealth operations in Star Citizen.
