He Thought Mining Was His Future… Until This Happened | Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door | Compy

In this episode of Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door, Dusty Star sits down with Compy for a Star Citizen fleet review that ended up being about much more than ships. What started as plans for one kind of fleet slowly evolved into something very different. Together we walk through the ships in his hangar, the purchases he regrets, the ones he refuses to melt, and the gameplay loops that changed the direction of his journey through Star Citizen. Using Fleet Viewer, we explore how his fleet grew over time and why some of the ships he flies most today weren’t part of the original plan. The episode concludes with the Engineering Bench, where Compy faces a 60-second Star Citizen trivia challenge based on the ships currently in his fleet. Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door is a weekly community show from Thrusters & Dust featuring fleet reviews, fleet discussions, and conversations with the people behind the ships. New episodes every Sunday at 10:00 AM Pacific on Dusty's Workshop. #StarCitizen #starcitizenships #starcitizenlive New to Star Citizen?
