Daniel Raymond, the voice behind Ray’s Guide, is hosting Invictus Launch Week and introduces the “Invictus Ship of the Day.” The event showcases various ships, with today and tomorrow focusing on Robert Space Industries (RSI) ships. The main highlight is the RSI Polaris, but today’s ship of the day is the newly announced Ursa Medevac. This ship is essentially an Ursa with a medbed, priced at $55 with Lifetime Insurance or $60 with store credit during the show.
The launch of version 3.23 has brought changes to the show, including a new shopping interface for renting ships. Visitors are advised to tour big ships on the show floor and rent smaller ships. A new mini-map in the upper left corner coordinates with the mobiGlas map. However, routing and marker features are not fully implemented in the hall yet. The Ursa Medevac requires a ship with a large enough cargo bay to carry a full Rover for practical use, such as a Constellation or Corsair.
The promotional video for the Ursa Medevac highlights the respawn mechanics changes in Star Citizen. The video showcases the pros and cons of the new respawn system, emphasizing fast and fun gameplay but raising questions about consequences and realism. The debate between fast respawn for Arena Commander and more strategic consequences for Star Citizen persists, with upcoming changes to death and respawn mechanics planned.
Observations about the Ursa Medevac include an unchanged remote turret and the absence of an advanced search and rescue scanner. The decision to purchase the Ursa Medevac depends on whether the buyer plans to upgrade to a more expensive ship later. For owners of specific ships like the Valkyrie or Freelancer Max, adding a medical module may be worthwhile. However, for others, the Pisces C8X may be a better choice due to recent changes in the game.
