The hosts discuss strong indications that the Idris ship, particularly the P variant, will be announced or showcased at Invictus, based on recent in-game assets, lore hints, and development patterns. They believe CIG is preparing to reveal the ship soon, with subtle teasers like themed merchandise and new weapon assets pointing to an imminent release.
The video features hosts Execute and Astro Pub discussing the strong possibility of the Idris ship being released at Invictus, the upcoming Star Citizen event. They mention that while a release at Invictus is not guaranteed, the evidence suggests it is highly likely, and CIG is preparing to announce or showcase the ship soon. The hosts emphasize that all signs point to the Idris being a major focus, possibly even before CitizenCon, based on recent in-game assets, lore hints, and development patterns.
A key piece of evidence discussed is the Idris-themed t-shirt, which closely resembles the Polaris shirt. This shirt was highly popular and sold out quickly, and its re-release or a similar variant could hint at the ship’s imminent release. The lore context also supports this, as the shirt references the 80th anniversary of the Idris Peacekeeper, and the “P” designation on the shirt suggests a specific variant of the ship, potentially the Idris P. The hosts argue that this could be a subtle teaser from CIG, indicating the ship’s upcoming arrival.
Further evidence involves new PDCs (point defense cannons) that are being added to the game, currently used on ships like the Polaris and Phoenix. The addition of new PDC variants could be related to the Idris, especially if a new variant like the Idris P or K is being prepared. They also highlight the presence of a turret near the Idris in the persistent universe, sound files for laser weapons, and other assets that suggest the ship and its variants are close to completion and ready for release.
The hosts also analyze statements from CIG representatives and community insiders, noting that a recent social media post by Jared (a CIG employee) about upcoming vehicles was deleted, which they interpret as a sign that CIG is holding back some information or making last-minute decisions. They believe that at least the Idris P variant will be announced or shown at Invictus, with the possibility of the K variant also being revealed later. They stress that CIG often staggers ship releases and upgrades, making it likely that the P will come first, with other variants following later.
In conclusion, the hosts agree that all signs point toward the Idris, particularly the P variant, being released or at least announced during Invictus. They mention that CIG is probably going to give an update on the ship’s status, and the timing seems aligned with other upcoming ship reveals and lore hints. They encourage viewers to stay tuned for further updates, as the evidence strongly suggests the Idris will be a major highlight at the event.
