The RSI Arrastra is a new ship concept in Star Citizen that combines towing capabilities with versatile mining capabilities, aiming to bridge the gap between space and planetary mining. The ship features a sleek design, spacious interior, and side mobile remote turrets, offering players various options for gameplay.
In a recent video by an individual named nuire on November 23, 2023, they provided an overview of a new ship concept in Star Citizen called the RSI Arrastra. The video began with a disclaimer that it was essentially a ship commercial. The first ship discussed was the SRV, which is a tow truck equipped with a tractor beam that can move damaged ships to a location for repairs. This towing ability is considered superior to reclaiming the ship.
The video then transitioned to the RSI Arrastra, described as a larger mining ship that takes inspiration from ancient mining tools. The ship’s design is sleek with some exposed areas. The interior is considerably better than a previous ship called the Mole, featuring space for two rocks, an onboard refinery, and large cargo spaces. With a crew of five, the ship is built to be durable and has long-range capabilities.
The RSI Arrastra is equipped with side mobile remote turrets that can slide and relocate. It also has a top turret that can move through and then pop out below. The video encouraged viewers to comment with their thoughts on the ship and speculated on its potential price range, between four and six hundred and fifty thousand in-game currency, Space Credits.
The video made a comparison between the RSI Arrastra and the Orion, another mining ship in Star Citizen. While the Orion focuses on space mining, the Arrastra is designed to bridge the gap between space and planetary mining.
In conclusion, the video provided an introduction to the RSI Arrastra, highlighting its features, including towing capabilities, sleek design, spacious interior, and its ability to serve as a versatile mining ship. It hinted at an upcoming release of more information on the ship and signed off with a thank you and a farewell, urging viewers to fly safely in the game.
