The Agis Retaliator in Star Citizen received an update to Gold Standard, introducing ship modularity allowing players to swap torpedo bays for cargo bays. The modularity enables various configurations for cargo transport and combat scenarios, showcasing the ship’s durability and armor enhancements, despite encountering issues with turret gun alignment during battles.
The Agis Retaliator recently received an update in Star Citizen, bringing it up to Gold Standard and introducing ship modularity. Players can now swap out torpedo bays for cargo bays, allowing for a mix-and-match of cargo and torpedoes between the ship’s two bays. The cargo variant of the Retaliator features elevators for loading cargo, but initially, the ship appeared empty, leading to discussions about the usefulness of an empty ship without any modules.
Players discovered that the cargo modules in the Retaliator can hold 36 units of cargo each, making it a viable option for transporting goods. The ship’s durability and armor were highlighted, with an increase in shield generators from two to six. Despite its slower speed, the Retaliator’s protection makes up for this limitation, providing a sturdy vessel for various missions.
The video showcases the exploration of the cargo bays, crew quarters, and turrets of the Retaliator, revealing storage lockers, living quarters, and lighting features. The modularity of the ship allows for different configurations, such as a drop ship module and a habitation module planned for future updates. Weapon changes offer more options for outfitting turrets, with considerations for defending against fighters with rail guns.
During a gameplay session, the crew of the Retaliator engages in combat scenarios, testing the ship’s performance in various situations. Issues with turret gun alignment are encountered, affecting accuracy during battles. Despite taking some damage, the Retaliator demonstrates its durability in combat situations, showcasing its resilience in the face of enemy fire.
The video ends with a summary of the testing session, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the Retaliator in combat missions. The winner of a Firebird game package giveaway is announced, and thanks are extended to patrons and viewers for their support. The upcoming part two of the testing will involve a full crew engaging in combat scenarios to further explore the ship’s capabilities and armaments.
