  He Owns an Idris, But He’d Keep the ARGO RAFT | Star Citizen Fleet Interview 17.08.2026 1h 36min

  Trash Bandicoot owns an Idris, a Polaris, and an enormous collection of Star Citizen ships. If his entire fleet disappeared tomorrow and he could save only one, he would keep the ARGO RAFT.Why choose a slow, exposed cargo hauler over some of the most powerful ships in the game?In this episode of Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door, Dusty Star explores the fleet of a longtime Thrusters & Dust community member who would rather support an operation than command one. Trash explains how the RAFT shaped his identity as a cargo hauler, why heavy industrial ships create a stronger sense of immersion, and how the Caterpillar eventually became his daily driver.Then Trash faces the Engineering Bench, where a question about his beloved ARGO RAFT puts his ship knowledge to the test.Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door is a weekly Star Citizen community show from Thrusters & Dust about the people behind the fleets.New episodes every Sunday at 10:00 AM Pacific on Thrusters & Dust LIVE.Twitch: ⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/thrustersanddust⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Thrusters-and-Dust-LIVE⁠⁠#StarCitizen #StarCitizenShips #StarCitizenLiveThrusters and Dust is a Star Citizen fan project.

  Why His Drake KRAKEN Is MORE Than a Warship | Star Citizen Fleet Interview 17.08.2026 1h 39min

  In this episode of Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door, Dusty Star sits down with author and longtime Star Citizen player Billy Hyde for a fleet discussion about the stories we build around our ships.Billy began gaming on a TRS-80, fell in love with space exploration through Star Control II, and watched Star Citizen for years before making his first pledge. Today, his hangar includes everything from the Hermes and Syulen to the Banu Merchantman, 890 Jump, Polaris, and Drake Kraken.The Kraken becomes the central thread of the conversation, but not as a traditional warship. Billy imagines it as a mobile headquarters for events like the Daymar Rally, carrying the rescue, repair, refueling, security, and support ships needed to keep an entire operation running.We talk about the Merchantman at the center of his character’s history, the difference between building a fleet for gameplay and building one for a story, his love of Origin ships, the vessels that surprised him, and the writing he wishes he had saved from Star Citizen’s earliest forums.Then Billy heads to the Engineering Bench to see if he knows his enormous fleet well enough to claim the Chief Engineer title.Secrets: Behind the Hangar Door is a weekly Star Citizen community show from Thrusters & Dust about the people behind the fleets.New episodes every Sunday at 10:00 AM Pacific onThrusters & Dust LIVE.Twitch: ⁠⁠https://twitch.tv/thrustersanddust⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Thrusters-and-Dust-LIVE⁠⁠#StarCitizen #StarCitizenShips #StarCitizenLiveThrusters and Dust is a Star Citizen fan project.

  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.
