MY SYSTEM SPEC | / boredgamer_system_specs
Star Citizen is an Open Development Alpha Project by Cloud Imperium. It is 2 Games really though, the Persistent Universe that aims to build a First Person MMO Space Sim that encompasses gameplay in ship & on ground, economy and pretty much anything else you can think of. It's built in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine). You'll see massive Space Ships that you can fly with friends, land on planets, explore or whatever your way to whatever goal you choose. It's available to try in it's current Alpha State now, you can give feedback & influence the direction of the game BUT it is VERY ALPHA.
Squadron 42 is the Single Player Campaign of Star Citizen & the Spiritual Successor of Wing Commander. The Idea is the game is immersive, cinematic, beautiful & seamless... NO LOADING SCREENS once in game.
Both Games are currently in the Alpha of their development.
I am suspecting to see something more mainstream for Star Citizen's PU by the end of 2024 with permanent progression, though it will be a while after that before the game is considered "feature complete" which would be closer to 2025 in my opinion.
The are no dates for Squadron 42's Release Yet BUT it is now Feature Complete.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

I wonder if the ship of the year paint from the argo cargo works on it lolololol.

[@The_Fallen_1]

I wish more large ships had a dedicated MPUV dock, or a universal industrial shuttle dock or something. The biggest problem I can see with the MPUV is that the ships that could do with one like the larger end Hull series, Orion, Kraken, etc. can't really make use of one unless they sacrifice some of their functionality, such as losing some of their cargo grid when that becomes a thing, or losing some valuable deck or hangar space to a small ship only needed for some utility. It doesn't have to be something excessive like the Idris' moon pool, but a clamp on the side of a ship with a small catwalk to the door of it would be appreciated.

[@ac3nigthmare238]

In the Hull C ad they showed the MPUV-Tractor moving 32 SCU boxes. Im kinda sad they lowered that to 16SCU.

[@SummerYeti]

Pursa - armored cash ground vehicle

[@BoredGamerUK]

lol the best variant

[@JohnSmith-ue3pt]

grab*

[@Sparkp1ug]

Just give it a robust, redundant scanning package, and I'm in there.

[@SummerYeti]

​@@BoredGamerUKgotta haul that loot!

[@nathanjackson7738]

100%

[@radreon]

My Ursa Medivac survived a soft death fall of about 3000 meters as well as the explosion from my MSR. We were still able to revive out of it when it had no wheels. 10/10 would recommend.

[@VelkaruTheHunter]

Med bed changes mean its not punishing for Pyro when we get our hands on it, making it a better experience to explore and exist in the new system. And by then we should have to move our own cargo which I look forward too as well but might stick with the maxlift tool. I am looking forward to Pyro and the changes coming!

[@geekchris105]

I am excited to hear that the non-tractor variants will be getting the hardpoints (since I got my free one as a referral bonus especially) - makes sense, you can buy one with the cargo, personnel, or tractor beams installed natively, but you can customize them as needed. Really fits in with the industrial vibe of it

[@ClancyMatt]

For the Hull ships they mentioned have cargo box equipment, like the idea of a med bed in a shipping container. It'd be easier than having the nursa store in a ship.

[@ref2491]

I would have preferred the medivac to replace the turret with and extra large (large for its size) shield generator. So it can fill the role as a combat rescue vehicle. Imagine driving into a combat scenario. The driver deploys the shield as a med tech and support marine tractor beam an injured player into the med bed. That could be pretty badass!

[@xugans99]

It will be super neat when they have a dynamic flight system where the weight of the loadout, cargo, and weight distribution all automatically change the flight characteristics

[@FurryGram]

The MPUV just reminds me of the fact that we don't really have a ship yet that can carry a larger ground vehicle without a cargo bay or someone manning a tractor beam. Surely there could be a ship that can just have a "tractor bay" area that can just snag ground vehicles and drop them where they need to go like how a Pelican in Halo can just airlift a tank.

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

The MPUV's are all the same with the exception that the Tractor has tractor beams. The current personnel one is carrying the escape pod from a 890J (reportedly). All are supposed to carry the cargo box, escape pods or cargo boxes. This has always been the case. I don't know why there were question marks in some of the comments.

[@snowmind]

The Nursa is a must buy, at least currently. So very convenient when doing higher tier bunkers, especially at a higher sfps.

[@Azreal15]

The Argo Tractor looks like it’s going to be quite useful. I do wonder now, perhaps seeing it moving those larger boxes in the Hull C trailer isn’t an actual thing.🇺🇦🇭🇹🇵🇸

[@NullFront]

Nice to see what seems to be a more practical version of the MPUV, especially with the upcoming cargo changes, though it still seems a bit too large to actually bring along for logistics away from stations, which is where I'd think it'd be more useful

[@Haegemon]

The MPUV is an orbital forklift/taxi/mail-truck. Its role is pretty clear and useful, and we can expect to see lots of them around stations and planets when NPCs can use them.

[@sedgecrannyx3858]

This is the first patch the game got me interested in Ground vehicles with the Ursa and the Pulse now ingame!

[@DaGhostToast]

So glad they've made it clear that the Argo's gonna be modular throughout. Was worried the tractors wouldn't apply to the others

[@Jamie-666]

That MPUV Tractor is a mini-game in its own right, take jobs loading and unloading cargo at a space station. Not the most exciting job, but an honest one :)

[@Schooterl]

Im glad they left the turret on the medical Ursa, I do want lights, but i would rather have the turret both would be ideal!

[@CMDR_MURR]

I think everyone wants the lights, but I agree. Turret > lights

[@stiles3474]

The character customization update is also fantastic. It’s great to see how much effort is being put into allowing players to create unique avatars this definitely adds to the role-playing

[@christopherwells4253]

the MPUV would be really cool if they were made/able to "hot dropping" vehicles. pick them up and move them around and such things.

[@phantomx2003]

I picked up the Ursa as well, being we have the distribution centers now it will be nice to have a close respawn.

[@kevinduvall848]

good info, I had a MPUV cargo and just upgraded it to a Tractor.

[@lovestyrke]

Thank you for showing me around the Medivac. I was really interested to see if I should keep my ships as they are or add this one to my fleet.

[@luigifun3240]

I'm keeping an eye on the Vanguard because it could fit one or more Pulses :)

[@aka-chi_hurron]

I wonder how it would compare to a pisces rescue. It would need to be considerably cheaper to make it worthwhile since the Pisces doesnt need a mothership to park inside for space travel. Pisces would also be considerablly quicker for transport to a station with full medical facilities. Though it could help with creating a mobile base in areas with heavy anti air, and transportation out of battlefields where flying is not an option. It'll be interesting to see how its used!

[@bradleymuirhead1143]

Personally, I would replace the Nursa's weapon turret with an advanced scanner (even if it doesn't work yet) or other rescue equipment; such as a cutter to get into hulls or a big fire extinguisher (when they are live). This would balance with the regular Ursa as an armed APC, and there are reasons why you wouldn't want to arm a medical truck.

[@naraanasyra4904]

I hope they add more missions where the med ursa to really shine, like raiding a big underground complex or one of those large caves they talked about a while back.

[@RavingNut]

You can drive a URSA Medivac a good distance into a distro centre. Makes it really useful being right there in/nere the combat.

[@terrycook2733]

so how is personal bases/hubs/clan stations or ships/ going to be implimented or working on in progress. Is there a area to claim or capture to make it available, is it resources and build timing that you gotta stand there for a hour to build the building. Is clans going to have satalites or hubs that you can store ships or drop rescources to. How is member count and overall standing with factions going to play out when some players arnt allowed in certain areas because of thier reputation with them and they bring people into thier clan does that mean you share thier reputation because your now in a faction itself.

[@mweb586]

It would be a pretty rad move on CIG's part if they made all MPUVs into the tractor module and then made the personnel and cargo models as optional modular add-ons. I don't see a lot of use for the other MPUVs outside of being useful for ships that are meant to house one.

[@jasonfabrick9308]

The searchlight is a great idea. CIG should make something similar to the Workbee from Star Trek. Using the Argo for example the cab and engines would be the ship then it could dock to modules to haul 2 or 4 cargo containers from a warehouse to the cargo ship then another with the tractor beam or grabbing arms would load the cargo pod to the ship. We could even get a module that could repair hull but rather than strip wrecked ships the repair module would get the salvaged hull material collected by a Vulture for example and be able to use that base material.

[@bbraonain]

Thank you for the Fleet Week news.

[@MatthewNickerson]

Would love to see a remote piloted MPUV in the future.

[@JediConscious]

I wish they could be more clear on if the other MPUVs would get tractor beams or not, not sure if I should upgrade or just wait.

[@thespacemonkey1000]

Having one MPUV chassis that can swap out to do it all would be awesome.

[@RunicRasol]

With the changes to medical beds, the Usta Medivac is going to be pretty powerful for bunker missions at this point. Just park outside turret range & drive your ursa to the door!

[@Magusknite]

This would unlock some more gameplay features, sure. But they do take up a lot of space. For example, a Corsair would have benefited from having a tier 3 bed in it rather than occupying all of the cargo hold for the rover.

[@fatalinc.gaming4546]

Hello Mr.BoredGamer, as Invictus week is winding down, I'm trying to decide on a ship that crews 3-4 players for merc/bounty missions with pals. Do you have any recommendations specifically that I can upgrade from my Ghost Hornet?

[@The_Draque]

Love the QoL respawn stuff BUT it immediately makes the Nursa almost Mandatory on every ship that doesnt have a medical bay already. I hope future ship designs just include med bays. More large ships should have med bays. Makes sense for gameplay and makes sense in universe. Multiple people "stuck" inside a ship for weeks or months at a time you would need some minor medical capabilities on board

[@hirofortis]

I love the idea of a mobile healing bed. awesome to be able to add a med bed to almost any med up ship.

[@luvit579]

They need a Carrack Invictus skin. I bought a Nursa mainly for hostile bunkers, but it's handy to have in general. Mine is riding in my Taurus ATM.

[@aendery2k130]

Thanks for a really good look at a couple of the less flashy additions to fleet week. The Ursa is actually one of the things I am most happy with from this years show.

[@calvinandhobbies]

As they physicalize loading and unloading cargo I think it would be awesome to an org having to utilize the MPUV Tractors to load. Creates job opportunites to be a space fork lift operator. haha

[@RealGyouza]

I am curious to check them out in game. At minimum at the current state having the ability to have a med bed nearby I can spawn at would be a big help! Certainly cut some time sinks down when bugs strike and defeat us!

[@KJHuynh]

It will be interesting to see if CIG makes any changes to the ARGO MPUV. Especially since it seems like the mpuv cargo, personnel and tractor are almost interchangeable.

[@StefanBacon]

I hope Eaton-Fuller or Spicer transmissions are made to be discoverable as rare loot. Really having a hard time figuring what to do with the clutch pedal and shifter on my farm-citizen setup.

[@tedhottes8554]

The ground respawn support vehicle seems like a decently positioned vehicle. Might add to my fleet.

[@ParaSar_sc]

They should put a dedicated hangar for MPUV inside big cargo ships, to become the use of these ships viable.

[@Smokejumper90]

I'll be honest, I'd kind of written off the MPUV until this variant was announced. It's been fun to see more and more features begin to tie gameplay loops together!

[@shaneedwards596]

gonna call it now... look at the existing previous versions of the MPUV... and look at their replacement... the original variants are just placeholders and an example of what the new modules will look like on the new MPUV-T, minus the tractor (on previous though), I suspect that other ships with multiple variations eg... Cutlass, Avenger, Vanguard, Pisces... may have a evolved version which incorporates these changes in to one base variant with the ability to swap the modules to turn them into what you want or have.... for example, cargo module or base version for a Cutlass = Black.... medical module, swaps out the cargo for the middle section and seats in the Black, and swaps it to the Red, while adding additional features... Blue would be swapping out for the holding pods, and so on.... they already said they wanted the Pisces to be modular, which would explain the base version, Expedition and Rescue.... and in some ways those with existing variants should automatically get that module with the ship this could mean that while those waiting for the backlog of unfinished ships... thinking they'll never get finished... would probably be more pleasantly surprised... as the more work on modules and updated variants that would be able to carry the same features as those original concept designs, this means that your ship(s) are still coming, but expect an updated and fully future proofed version that can be equipped to do teh things it wasn't able to do before.... and give more options and versatility when doing so.... this actually answered many of my concerns about past designs tbf, just by that MPUV-T and URSA section as it has a wider impact on future ships and vehicles and how they could effectively complete an ever growing backlog far more easily and with less bug issues in the long term...

[@Aenimaable]

The Ursa really is a great addition to the game. Though I'm mostly intrigued in the future of the MPUV Tractor. Seems too little to efficiently load a Hull C for example.

[@Elementarian]

Thanks for the update!

[@NandxHDpc]

Just saw the info for the Drake Ironclad and I imagine you also have a vid incoming for it. Fell in love with it.

[@I_Am_Empyrean]

I am interested to see how this is going to work out since afaik ships that would need the mpuv like the hull C dont have a hangar for them.

[@nicholasplotts5770]

These things make me imagine a space cargo port, unloading Hull C/D/E the way real cranes unload cargo ships at international shipping ports. My brain gives this awesome image, but it feels more like an NPC hireling role than any "I want to play this" or possibly missions

[@mhmm4840]

​@nicholasplotts5770 players can always try and outbid the npc unloaders. Idk how trustworthy it is but if they can do it faster/cheaper might be interesting

[@GeorgeNoX]

Imo every ship should have a medbed on it if it has room on it to accommodate one. Having dedicated ships for this feels like it is going to be a huge disadvantage if you don't have one while in the field

[@nunya2400]

I picked up both the nursa and tractor. both are use full, nursa very obvious but thinking that the tractor may be help full when the cargo elevator and hangers are online, as well as when base building is in in 2077.

[@elcockroach7328]

I bought the Nursa with Storecredits as well. That pledge will be melted again once the Nursa is buyable ingame, though.

[@operationorigami8962]

It would be cool if ships could "dock" with the MPUV and take it with them. Imagine locking an MPUV onto the side of a constellation so you can use that as transportation instead of the snub fighter that doesn't work lmao

[@Guggan90]

I can see the mpuv be amazing for loading/unloading the hull ships. But would need one at each port as you cant dock them on the hull ships afaik?

[@Anachroschism]

As more ships get their modularity overhauls, the MPUV will end up like the Retaliator variants. did.

[@Qbertqueso]

I would like to see what other modules for MPUV they come up with

[@balrogz5093]

MPU does allow mixing of smaller cargo to attach to the underside.

[@Graygor.]

Got to say, the MPUV Tractor is such a fun little idea and I can't wait to see it used with the freshly announce Fatterpillar

[@the_thunder_god]

I picked up the Tractor thinking it looked like it was modular....glad I was right. Seems like it'll boil down to one chassis with modules bundled with them (or not) to give them a default role. I did not pick up the Nursa because I already have the C8R. I may change my mind on that but I don't think I will. All done with store credit. Melted my Star Runner as last time I tried it out I just didn't like the interior layout.

[@ThecleFr]

Snubs, Mpuv and such would be so much usefull with a "moon capable" QT size 0. Being able to travel town>station or planet>moons>outpost would be so great. Right now, i dont see the point of bothering with them. Who know, one day...

[@caldos1213]

The C8R's lights are just the flashers (last I checked, lemme know if im wrong) and the makes it a pain landing in the dark (sometimes), so I hope the Nursa has both flashers and actual headlights. Haven't bought it yet but plan too.

[@c6tom790]

I got both and I’m very excited about the cargo loading with the Argo T

[@calebkepple1964]

The mpuv tractor fits in the c2 I bought both and use the ursa just trying to figure out how to get a 16 scu container

[@mmmbe3r893]

I would love to see what that ship could do managing salvage cargo in a reclaimer, but it would never fit on the lift :(

[@Lyynk]

Got me an MPUV Tractor as soon as I saw them released - love the little ship, super fun to fly around and I cannot wait for the possibilities with freight!

[@yozzerhughes1623]

I think the DayMar Rally just got its latest new vehicle from a racing and a support point of view....

[@T3hBr0k3nM0nk3y]

Need for weewoos seconded! Interested to see what kind of customization vehicles will have. I like that customization and modularity are finally phasing in. Great stuff, Bored! Be well, Citizens! 😉👍

[@-sleepy-]

i don't see any use for the ground cargo vehicles right now but maybe eventually

[@Dune571]

I wish CIG let you upgrade ground vehicles part of old ship packages, a la rover with the Constellation or Pisces shuttle with Carrack. Feels like if I bought this, I'd have a regular ursa I'd never use bundled with the Stella, kinda feels like paying twice.

[@jshreyer]

Can’t wait to check out the Nursa in my MSR!!!

[@GaradanR]

I am a 100% fan of the change to the med beds, I bought the Mursa immediately, that will be super useful for what I do in SC. The MPU changes are great as well!

[@bitrunner2000]

i have an MPUV - my only complaint is that it doesn't have even a tiny "Tier 0" quantum drive for moving to/from orbit or around a planet. have not tried flying it in the new patch with the new map system for navigation, but prior to 3.23, you could not even use the quantum button to help navigate to POIs around a planet or something simple as going from orbital stations down to the main city. hopefully now at least you can plot a course with the new map system - otherwise that would still be my biggest complaint.

[@mhmm4840]

It's meant to take cargo from a station to a ship that can't land in a hanger. Or between ships that have small hangars. What you're asking for is something more akin to what a C1 would be doing.

[@Dome665]

Have anyone figure out how to carry 3 containers at once with the MUPV-T? I have tried, and I'm not getting it to work

[@MasticoreWinter]

The MPUV will be nice if we get cargo missions for the DCs and bade building.

[@jbirdmax]

I like the little MPUV but I don’t think CIG should ever get rid of their older ships. They instead should give the option to upgrade free if you already own the older version. But giving the option to keep your old model.

[@z-eight6274]

Love my Ursa Medi, just wish it would fit in my A1…. Have to use it in my M2 or MSR at the moment

[@hasanmcbride7763]

Thanks for the update...

[@ze_cub5676]

It will be very interesting if they make the amount of reapawns you get for a certain character limited, holding backspace to fast travel back to med bed wont be as tempting if you potentially have to make a new character and pay a death fee.

[@capt_bob4644]

As soon as the cargo update hits the MPUV tractor (and base MPUV) will finally have a purpose!

[@tbra6514]

I'm very much interested in how this whole cargo game play will work out.

[@club2772]

The Argo seems like it’s more just a lore-building, logistical piece. They could tweak it to make cargo automagically attach or something, so going back and forth isn’t so tedious. I think realistically this ship will mostly be used by npcs when alls said and done.

[@GoofyLuffyMonke]

small land and flight ships are just wonderful - hope they work well so i can start skid along on a medivac

[@mattcavy1934]

The modularity is cool, I am very excited to see where cargo is going. The whole system is going to get changed very soon with the freight elevators and loading/unloading.

[@astreb06]

I would like to see examples how the MPUV can be used before I am sold on it.

[@TheThorJunki]

Got thr Nursa and MPUV T. Love both and will he great additions to my fleet

[@istvaantycho8337]

I've always loved the SRV, going to run my own trucking biz in the verse one day

[@Thepapeman]

I bought the Tractor but im not sure if it will ever get a actual use out of it. One day if we get loading missions at the station might be a potential gameplay loop.

[@jasonrgriffin]

I can’t wait to see every ship have full modularity!

[@SozeHB]

I hope that they keep the respawning changes as the nursa and c8r are far more useful now!

[@xnevo1]

There are so many new ships now i just want more updates for the Merchantman!!!

[@nminskey]

13 years :(

[@ArterialCanine]

I don’t like the idea of purchased ships being made redundant due to game development time, so they have to be careful and perhaps modularity is the solution.

[@mooker1905]

It'll be interesting to see how events like JT change along with these med bed changes

[@philipp270799]

Cargo loading missions would be perfect for the MPUV
