• Episode 2: Why the Banu Merchantman Means So Much to Him 29.06.2026 1h 9min

  In this episode of Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door, Dusty Star sits down with Bear DaJonkler for a Star Citizen fleet discussion that keeps circling back to one idea: some ships are more than tools.Bear started with an Aurora, came over from Elite Dangerous, and built a fleet around the ships that feel the most personal to him. The Banu Merchantman, RSI Galaxy, Gatac Railen, Drake Clipper, and Banu Defender all come up as pieces of a larger story about identity, regret, imagination, and the kind of ship he would build if Star Citizen handed him a blank page.We talk about the ships that surprised him, the purchases he had to justify, the Galaxy he regrets melting, the difference between pirates and griefers, and why some players need to slow down before judging the development process.Then Bear heads to the Engineering Bench to see if he can take the Chief Engineer title from Compy.If you'd like to be a guest on a future episode of Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door, join our Discord and send me a message.
