Ryan provides an update on the development of various Star Citizen ships and vehicles, highlighting progress across different stages and upcoming releases, including the Ironclad, Perseus, Apollo, and unannounced vehicles. He anticipates major reveals during Alien Week and IAE, sharing his excitement for new animations, features, and gameplay enhancements, while encouraging community engagement and support.
In the video, Ryan provides an update on the current development status of various vehicles in Star Citizen. He mentions that four unannounced ships are progressing through different stages of production, with one entering production, another nearing its whitebox review, and others awaiting feedback or focusing on new animations, particularly for the Prowler. Ryan speculates that the Prowler, which was teased earlier, might be featured during Alien Week, and he expresses excitement about new entry and exit animations for this vehicle, which could introduce innovative ways to board ships.
Ryan discusses several known ships, including the Anvil Paladin, a gunship that has advanced through the graybox phase, benefiting from work on the Asgard. The Pioneer, a massive base-building ship, is still in the lengthy whitebox phase due to its complexity, and Ryan predicts it might be released next year, possibly after initial base-building mechanics are introduced. He also updates on Drake’s Ironclad freighter, which is in the blocking out stage with a focus on interior layout, possibly utilizing existing Drake kits to speed up development, though the ship’s size and unique areas mean significant work remains.
Further, Ryan covers the progress on the Guardian MX, a military ship that has passed its final review, and hints at a new variant that might be released soon, possibly in the upcoming patches. He also mentions an unannounced ground vehicle that has passed its whitebox review, likely part of the Atlas platform, which has sparked curiosity about its mechanics and how it will differ from previous vehicles. Additionally, the medical response ships RSI Apollo Medivac and Triage are progressing through graybox review, with Ryan optimistic about their potential release during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) in November.
Ryan shares his thoughts on the Perseus, a large patrol ship that has moved into the gate review stage. He predicts it will be showcased at IAE, especially since many of its assets are reused from the Polaris, making its development more straightforward. He recounts a recent in-game event involving a rogue Idris attacking a trading post, highlighting how the Perseus and other ships could enhance security and gameplay in the universe. Overall, Ryan emphasizes that most of these ships are progressing steadily, with many expected to be released within the year, especially during upcoming events like Alien Week and IAE.
In conclusion, Ryan expresses his enthusiasm for the upcoming ship releases, particularly the Ironclad and the medical ships, and speculates that Alien Week will likely feature the Prowler.

Ryan also mentions his upcoming holiday, which might delay new content, but he hopes to produce more videos soon.
