In this update on Star Citizen ships and vehicles, Ryan (aka Mac) begins by expressing gratitude to his supporters and promoting the Beam eye tracker, a recommended accessory for improved gameplay. The focus then shifts to several key ships in development, starting with the RSI Galaxy. After a hiatus, developers have returned to the Galaxy, refining its interior layout to improve flow and connectivity, reducing dead ends to enhance gameplay during boarding scenarios. Utilizing assets from other RSI ships like the Polaris and Perseus, the Galaxy is still in pre-production but showing promising progress with modular features expected, including cargo and possibly medical and refinery modules.
Next, the Gatac Railin has advanced to its graybox gate review stage, with updates to ship areas aligning with new pipeline standards, signaling plans for more Gatac-style ships in the future. The Greycat UTV has completed testing and is set for release in an upcoming 4.7 content drop. The Whole B ship has passed final reviews and is scheduled for release soon, adding to the Whole series lineup. There is curiosity about whether its cargo spindles will rotate, enhancing functionality, though this remains unconfirmed.
The Drake Ironclad series, including the Ironclad Assault and its command module, has progressed through initial development phases with lighting and detailing underway. The team is also preparing the Caterpillar ship to integrate with the command module, focusing on functionality and resource management. A potential Invictus release in May is anticipated for these ships, although exact timelines remain tentative. The update hints at hopes for a refreshed, high-quality Caterpillar model.
The massive Drake Kraken capital ship has passed its whitebox gate review, marking a major milestone. Efforts have concentrated on key interior areas like engineering and traversal routes, along with bespoke manned turrets and weapons. Although its release is expected next year due to its scale, anticipation is high for its unique features, including an onboard tram system. Fans are eager for interior reveals to begin planning group activities around the ship.
Finally, five unannounced ships and vehicles are progressing through various development stages, from whitebox to LOD0 reviews. These range from small, complex ships to vehicles with interiors, though details remain scarce. Speculation includes the possibility of a new refueling ship aligned with upcoming gameplay features. Overall, many exciting ships are moving through the pipeline, with some releases imminent and others set for later dates like CitizenCon or beyond. Ryan concludes by encouraging support for his channel and inviting viewers to check out his other content and streams.
