In the video, the content creator discusses the recent drama and issues in Star Citizen related to missiles, torpedoes, the Hornet F7A MK2 ship, and the Xeno Threat event. Initially, there were complaints about the slow speed of missiles and torpedoes in the game due to a rebalancing effort by the developers. However, the issue was addressed in a subsequent patch where the speeds were increased back to more reasonable levels. The developers clarified that these changes were temporary and part of testing for future improvements, reassuring players that further reworks are planned for the future.
The focus then shifts to the Hornet F7A MK2 ship, which is currently considered overpowered in the game. Players were able to acquire this ship through an event, resulting in a ship with high firepower, agility, and tankiness. The agility of the ship was identified as a bug by the developers, and they have acknowledged that it will be addressed in a future update. Concerns were raised by the community about the ship’s balance and the potential impact of leaving such bugs unresolved during a sales period.
The video also touches upon issues with the Xeno Threat event in the 3.2 3.1a PTU patch, where some players experienced inactive NPCs and AI problems. The content creator speculates on the potential release of a live build to address these issues and make the Xeno Threat event more accessible. Additionally, the upcoming Alpha 4.0 update and Engineering changes are mentioned as potential factors that could influence ship balance and gameplay in the future.
The content creator expresses concerns about the balancing of the Hornet F7A MK2 ship and hopes that the developers will address its overpowered status effectively. Suggestions are made for potential tweaks to make the ship more specialized in short-range combat rather than being a dominant meta ship. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to share their thoughts on the game’s current state, including feedback on the missile and torpedo changes, Xeno Threat event, and expectations for future updates.
