Star Citizen keeps pulling me in... (Argo SRV Showcase)

Star Citizen keeps getting updates and big changes are still coming. In this video, I showcase the new Argo SRV showcase with its fully-featured tractor beam and you can be the tug boat you've always wanted to be. Argo might be my favourite manufacture in star citizen and this is awesome.

Argo SRV will be my first Argo ship I'm going out of my way to get. Mole is nice and all, but the SRV is so clean for an industrial craft. 5:13 I'd say that seating is for the client you are towing. You know, as their ship could have little life support (if it's that damaged) or no power.

[@Ellis01234567890]

It happened to me about half hour ago. A random guy massively helped me out and I crashed to desktop while typing a very sincere thank you. I felt awful so relaunched as quickly as I could and it spawned me back exactly where I was and there was my guy and I was able to say thank you.

[@italydude515]

How big of a shit can it tow though? Im really curious if it could tow an 890j or carrack. Probably not but curious nonetheless

[@fireryrage]

@@italydude515 I've seen people mention the Hull C seems to be the largest so far.

I love how there's an entire section that's essentially "Ollie struggling with basic physics". It was great content, hilarious.

[@meatman8731]

I dream of using the srv to pull back knocked out ships to a scrap yard where I repair and resale what I can and scrap what I can't.

[@italydude515]

I love that idea. Have a used ship yard where you sale discounted ships would be really cool

[@d13baranyai]

Damn straight, that was my very idea when I saw this ship, lol

[@Sakisaka_Rei]

If you're moving it too fast, It will detach from the tractor beam as the beams turn yellow to red. You also need to be closer.

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

yeah you would think it obvious not to take hairpin high G turns while towing something behind you..sheesh

[@Marc69152]

@@AlbertoMartinez765 that was a classic Olli moment

[@MylesJacobSwie]

I’m so excited to use this as a ship to scout the asteroid cluster and sell valuable asteroids that have good ore. Imagine charging people for 1/3 the value of the ore inside, but being able to locate them and move them way faster than it would take to harvest.

[@italydude515]

Thats a great idea. Imagine pyro has the really good stuff/new rare ore and you bring it to stanton where otherwise it be harder to get to. That could be a large profitable business model

[@Cjorss]

I could see that being viable for super massive asteroids that an Orion might want to munch on but you might need another scanning ship to help find one. This ship is more for towing ships that can communicate their own position, it doesn't need great scanners. I wouldn't be surprised if an Orion would be capable of locating great rocks from far away and then kind of guiding this ship to it though. For the kinds of rocks a prospector or mole would crack, a 315p would be more suitable with it's smaller front facing tractor beam and upgraded scanning package. The 315p would also be great for unloading and loading cargo during salvage operations. Of course, any ship with a good scanner could also just sell the locations without moving the loot.

[@Oz_Gnarly_One]

From what I've heard, you can only tow asteroids after the first break has been made.

[@KerboOnYT]

I like Drake and Argo with their industrial feel. They look like working ships

[@bellidrael7457]

I like that Argo ships are your general 'work ships'. I mean some others like MISC are as well, but Argo just has that 'on the worksite' feel to it, with interiors that remind me of being on the road trucking with my dad as a kid.

[@magvad6472]

The Star Citizen universe needs as many ARGO ships as possible, what a beautiful design language and FRANKLY....fairly unique in big sci-fi games like this. Would love to see enough that ARGO feels like the backbone of the game's world...seeing RAFTs around cargo loading decks and SRVs around small outposts as if they tugboat for a living. I just think ARGO really grounds the Star Citizen universe in such a beautiful way.

[@MarkMcVann]

I agree Argo is my favourite manufacturer, i'd love a 600 scu hauler ship by Argo and maybe a Kraken sized industrial platform by ARGO xD

[@Nitryl44]

Imagine : A group of players, some of them are on a Reclaimer, and some others are on Argo SRVs bringing stuff to salvage to the Reclaimer. With enough players you can make a lot of money...

[@sheetpostmodernist398]

I was fiddling with gear animations earlier, I think the VTOL and landing gear are interfering with each other somehow. I was playing with the C1, and the gear worked fine as long as the VTOL thrusters were retracted, but leaving them extended caused the gear to animate very weirdly, and delayed the sounds.

[@Deathligar2]

I love the sitting area in the back of the SRV! Reminds me of a tow truck when the customer rides in the backseat and is still able to watch their vehicle being towed along. Interior is quite cozy!

[@jordanpitcher575]

great thing about this ship is it comes stock with an XL - 1 Quantum Drive

[@sundog_dd5278]

Since ship refurbishment game play is coming, you could decide which kind of ship you want to refurbish, put the components in the cargo section of the SRV and tow the ship to be refurbished to Jericho like you did. You could park it just off the deck if you want to work around it in zero G or on the deck. You could also have a crew with you. I could see ATMO esports or CIG having completions where you have to get the ship, bring it back, then have a crew refurbish like a pit crew in a race. Whoever refurbishes their ship the fastest wins.

[@assail]

hahaha the QT towing reaction was hilarious. thanks for sharing!

[@curryeanking]

Aren’t the 2 seats more for the potential clients you’ll be helping out?

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

If you had gone across to the Scorpius BEFORE tractor towing it, you could have lowered its undercarriage, so it sat on that deck properly when you released it.

[@darrenreynolds456]

Did you not notice that Jericho station has been updated in that build of the EPTU?

[@Electrocus]

I noticed that too. Looks like you can enter part of it?

[@JonatanE]

The cool thing about the SRV is that the tractor beam size it utilizes is theoretically able to pull a Hull-C into Quantum Travel. Yes. A Hull-C.

[@italydude515]

What about a carrack?

[@QuinnTheTailor]

So theorethically this is a carrier, right? You could tug fighters that don't have QD or have low range around.

[@barcidstudios]

Argo ships need home depot theme for its elevator music.

[@Rob-lt6gb]

woohoo, more Olli :D

[@Kenditzc]

Something about argo and their ship’s interior design brings me comfort and enjoyment 😊

[@itsyorboy8540]

That purplish wavy sign, should be a hint for an Alien ship 👾👽..

[@vamperic]

[@jango9886]

I can't wait to see this ship in my hangar. I am very glad that the developers made a ship for solo players because there are very few such ships in the game. We have Vulture, Prospector and Cat rock. But one ship is still missing, It's an explorer ship. Such a ship was supposed to be the Star Runner Mercury, but the developers for some reason made it bigger than planned and six people are needed to control this ship.

[@OverCAT83]

I think there's a gimbal limit to the tractor beam that's why you keep losing the ship you're towing so watch out for that.

[@jenzicam]

What i would love to know is if you can use the tug boat to bring your ship thats in soft death back to a station and repair it. That would be really cool.

[@za_snake4085]

Looking forward to giving it a try the SRV. wonder what the new cost will be on it?

[@BulkMasterFlex]

Ollie over here giving me motion sickness with his ship tours 😭

[@xGATSUUGAx]

well its cool when everything works for you . i tried to come back after like a year to see whats new but sadly i had to fight bugs most of the time and more time fighting them then actually playing the game ,many restarts, tweeking settings ,Again looking for fixes online , it felt even worse than the last time i played ,at least then i was able to do missions and stuff . now just basic bounty mission becomes a chore to do and most of the times without pay coz something ddnt go well . i envy people who are lucky that stuff works for them more times then not . coz the game is nice

[@davidhall3660]

I had the same issue with the lights when I first spawned the SRV. Also - 100% on Argo design! I wish they made more ships. I want an Argo daily driver.

[@oskiwoski26]

I'm glad you made it out the cargo hold 😂😂😂

[@LarsHoppa]

Do you get your own private server to play on or something? I can't stay on long enough to get my SRV out of the hangar. And that seems to be the general consensus, especially after Friday's patch.

[@hanzo52281]

Try it again. They just did a hotfix for CTDs. They are still there but much less frequent in my experience.

[@meeturmaker636]

Hey hope your days awesome man! Thanks for the video's!

[@captc0ck5lap60]

I love that the solution to combat logging has also made the issue of crashing to desktop go from being a major headache to a minor inconvenience.

[@justarandomdude1925]

SRV looks really cool

[@bitrunner2000]

"two seats, one bed" - yeah, it's called "hot bunking" - allows the crew to work in shifts. one sleeps and the other works, then they switch. it's not a luxury ship where everyone gets their own bunk! makes sense in real life, but of course presents a problem in game as only one person can "bed log" (unless the other just waits for the first to despawn)

[@Norwolf2097]

Imagine the dockworkers looking at each other after they watched this guy running around his ship in confusion and then disappear with the cargo lift xD

[@tmdosu]

After the initial break you can tractor chunks of asteroids.

[@Norwolf2097]

4:43 don't worry, it's opaque from the inside!

[@TheSponkomat]

I just had an idea... remember the starter ship you had in the first privateer? I would pay money for a nice, industrial, modern interpretation of that design.

[@yeright1977]

Question, does the SRV fit in an M2 or C2?

[@Delramian]

about the workarround for the sound. Have you tried to cloase the cocpitdoor? Eaven if it dosent help right now CIG can use that to cut the sound of that Tractorbeam.

[@DoomsdayHustle]

I used to be a viewer of yours since you were doing GTA V speculation all those years ago. I’m back, and GTA 6 trailer was just announced. It’s time to come back

[@Shaiyo5]

The SRV was the ship design that interested me the most and would finally make Star Citizen worth putting money into. For it to finally be so close to public release is a dream true. I hope my wallet is ready.

[@explorer47422]

Shame it doesn't have lights or a cabin pointing backwards, imagine if they had made the cabin on a swivel so it could rotate without needing to go into remote turret

[@ShaLLx64]

@Ollie43 Apparently setting your swap file from system managed to 1024 * amount of ram (in GB and x2 if you have enough disk space) can help with the crashes to desktop.

[@RiddleBill]

I wonder if you could’ve repaired that salvage ship once you tugged it to the station

[@likeorasgod]

Still think the Vulture should be an Argo ship not a Drake. Though the towing makes me think we can pull a bunch of salvage missions and pull them to a Reclaimer or some vultures that are just salvaging them all and maybe a cargo ship.

[@fuglong]

Nah Drake makes sense. They made everything, even a police car

[@MrCanadianhero]

was that date there earlier?

[@someoneyoudontknow339]

I feel like they need to have a scrapyard where you can park these tugged ships and sell them for a lot money

yes I think flying with it is you have to stick within the limits . also could you in the Scorpius and repair it then store it ? LOL a nice way to get new ships ?

landing gears in PU also don't retract normal, ongoing issue

If you've ever had a shit car, the two seats/single bed makes sense. It's I've operator, but if you're towing someone, they will need a place to sit

[@abcq30]

Illeagal salvage go in woth the tug boat. Move the ship before security turn up

Not entirely powered off from my experience. Shields have to be off and ideally engines off. Engines can be on but the ship can break free

if this game actually worked, with things to do that are not repetitive as hell, and something to actually explore besides mono-terrain planets, and they added a "ship" builder where you can parts shop from different manufacturers and assemple your ideal ship. i would undoubtedly buy and play it. but so far seems like a weird money laundering scheme
