In this video update, Ryan (aka Mac) provides an overview of the current progress on various Star Citizen ships and vehicles in active development. He begins with the RSI Galaxy, which is nearing its graybox gate review and has seen refinements in its interior lighting and color palette. Expected to release around the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) this year, the Galaxy is a versatile civilian ship with modular interiors that can be configured for cargo, medical, refinery, and potentially base building or crafting roles in the future.
Next, Ryan discusses the Anvil Liberator, which has progressed through its graybox phase with much of its interior refined and technical exterior details being integrated. This ship is anticipated to be very useful for Genesis planet tech and base building, capable of transporting multiple vehicles simultaneously. Although it is not expected to release until next year, its development is moving steadily forward. The Drake Kraken is also highlighted as making significant progress, with its exterior detailing and some interior areas like the bridge and hangar approaching final versions. The use of strike teams to expedite development and the ship’s advancement into LOD 0 phase indicate it is nearing completion, though its release is projected for May next year.
Ryan then covers two unannounced vehicles likely to be the Anvil Auxilia and the Greycat MFC, both of which recently received their final materials and paints ahead of a possible release in patch 4.11. The Auxilia is a generalist ground vehicle equipped with a medbed and crafting station, while the MFC is a mobile crafting vehicle. Vehicle crafting is expected to debut around this time, adding new gameplay depth. Ryan expresses particular excitement about the Auxilia, hoping it will support his plans for an off-grid survival series on the planet Nyx.
Further, Ryan mentions three other unannounced ships in development. One is nearing its graybox gate review, another is progressing quickly with multiple artists working on its interior and approaching LOD 0, and the third is in final stages with paints and bug fixes being completed. He speculates the third ship could be the Origin M60 medium fighter, while the second might be the Gatac Hun, a potential Xi’an generalist ship. The first could be either the RSI Skylac or Drake Marauder, both with upcoming internal deadlines. Additionally, a UK team has started pre-production on a new ship, and a Canadian team recently finished an unannounced ship’s final pass.
In closing, Ryan notes the absence of updates on the Constellation Mark V series but remains hopeful for news soon. He reiterates his enthusiasm for the Anvil Auxilia and the potential for new gameplay experiences it could enable. Ryan encourages viewers to subscribe, join his streams on YouTube or Twitch, and check out his other content. He thanks his patrons and channel members for their support and signs off looking forward to sharing more Star Citizen developments in future videos.
