Take a Look at Star Citizen’s First “Raid Boss” in Action
The latest update to Star Citizen brought an interesting feature in the form of what’s essentially the growing game’s first “raid boss.”
A sizable chain of missions leads the player to face down an Idris-class frigate, which is a rather massive (242m-long) capital ship armed with a deadly railgun that can blast smaller ships out of the sky from 40 km away.
Of course, destroying it isn’t easy, but it certainly rewards players with a spectacular explosion.
You can check out a few videos below from YouTube users Morphologis,
BoredGamer, and Star Citizen Jorunn.
The third video is especially interesting as it shows two Isris frigades duking it out. Given Star Citizen’s nature as a sandbox game, it was inevitable that some players managed to steal the ship and turn it against its masters.
That being said, the ship will be implemented for players to use (without stealing it) at a later time, and it won’t even be the biggest available.
