In the video, the narrator shares their experience testing the new ambush and patrol missions in Star Citizen 4.1.1 PTU after completing the Foxfell first contract. They initiate an ambush mission targeting an Origin 135C ship near the Aster mining base. The mission involves flying to a designated location, hiding in a cloud, and turning off their ship’s signature to wait for the target. The narrator expresses excitement about the inclusion of voiceovers for missions, enhancing the immersive experience.
The narrator encounters challenges while trying to hide and wait for the target. After waiting for a considerable amount of time without any action, they realize they need to track the contract again due to a failure in the mission. They emphasize the importance of patience in these missions, as being too hasty can lead to failure. The narrator suggests that using a stealth ship might be a better strategy for ambush missions, as it allows players to remain undetected while waiting for their target.
