The video discusses the Ares Ion, a size 7 mountable ship cannon from Crusader Industries in Star Citizen. The ship has had some balancing issues in the past but is now back on track and potent once again. The Ion is described as a sniper designed to take on capital ships, and it features a size 7 energy-based weapon that gives players a sense of power and danger. The ship’s cockpit is well-designed with shared features and buttons from the Star Runner. The Ion is best used in conjunction with other Ares variants or ships to maximize its potential, but it can still take on Hammerhead single-handedly.
The Ion comes equipped with a storage unit, gun racks, and the exclusive bearing sf7 e Laser cannon, which has a range of at least 8 km. Its purpose is to quickly disable the shields of gunships before other ships can incapacitate them. The ship is also able to fly without a power plant for a certain time due to its batteries. It is considered a long-range fighter and fits into the hangar of a Javelin.
The Ares Ion is described as an anti-capital fighter specifically designed to lead the charge against capital ships and heavily armed flotillas. Its primary weapon, the sf7 Echo Laser cannon, accurately delivers high-powered shots to disable shields. It excels at spearheading a fleet of fighters and support ships. The ship’s performance, range, firepower, and sleek design make it a formidable choice for players.
The video also includes a walk-around of the ship, showcasing its size, weapon systems, landing gear, and paint schemes. The cockpit is well-built with clear visibility and functioning buttons. The ship’s features and design contribute to its immersion and sense of power. The video concludes by asking viewers how they intend to deploy the Ares series of ships and encourages sharing strategies and creativity within the community.
