The video discusses a leaked list of new Star Citizen ships potentially revealed at the upcoming Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, including the heavily armed RSI Perseus gunship, the versatile RSI Hermes cargo ship, the utility-focused Greycat MDC vehicle, the combat or racing variant Kruger L22 Alpha Wolf, and the compact Drake Clipper. These ships reflect recent development trends and suggest a diverse lineup aimed at expanding gameplay options in Alpha 4.4.
In this video, Irad discusses a potential leaked list of new ships for Star Citizen that might be revealed at this year’s Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE), coinciding with the release of Alpha 4.4. Although these leaks are unofficial and should be taken with caution, they seem to align with recent development trends. The first ship highlighted is the RSI Perseus, a large gunship designed by Robert Space Industries that fits between a corvette and a destroyer. Known for its heavy-hitting broadside combat capabilities, the Perseus is built to take on larger targets with its two massive size seven guns and remote turrets, prioritizing firepower over speed and agility.
Next on the list is the RSI Hermes, rumored to be a cargo variant of the RSI Apollo. This medium cargo ship would fill a gap in RSI’s civilian lineup by providing a mid-tier hauling option between smaller ships like the Freelancer and larger ones like the Constellation Taurus. The Hermes’ name, inspired by the Greek messenger god, aligns with RSI’s naming traditions and suggests a practical cargo role. Its design could leverage the Apollo’s modular layout, making it a versatile and balanced addition to RSI’s offerings.
The video also mentions a new Greycat vehicle called the MDC, which appears to be a small pickup-style utility truck intended for short-distance logistics and cargo transport between outposts. This rugged and practical vehicle would be ideal for players managing surface operations or local cargo runs, fitting Greycat’s reputation for functional industrial designs. The name likely hints at its multi-purpose or delivery carrier role, emphasizing its utility in frontier environments.
Further, the Kruger L22 Alpha Wolf is discussed as a variant of the existing Wolf fighter, possibly featuring different weapon setups such as energy or laser armaments instead of ballistic guns. This variant could offer players distinct combat styles within the same familiar frame. There is also speculation that the Alpha Wolf might be a racing-tuned version, catering to the growing interest in ship racing and competitive flight within the Star Citizen community.
Finally, the Drake Clipper is introduced as a potential compact version of the popular Corsair, offering a smaller, more affordable, and versatile ship that maintains Drake’s rugged aesthetics. This ship would fit between the Cutlass and Corsair, appealing to players seeking a multi-role exploration or combat vessel with fewer crew requirements. Additionally, an RSI Salvation salvage ship is mentioned, likely linked to a previously teased salvage vessel from RSI. If these leaks hold true, the upcoming IAE could showcase a diverse and exciting lineup of ships, giving players a glimpse of what Alpha 4.4 will bring to the game.
