The video revisits the RSI Galaxy, focusing on its refinery module and its potential uses, especially in conjunction with the recent 4.1 updates introducing the Golem and Geo mining ships. The host emphasizes that the Galaxy is still in concept, based on blueprints and artworks, and not yet finalized, with a likely release not expected before 2026. They explore whether the Golem can fit inside the Galaxy’s hangar, concluding it might just fit diagonally or with some tight maneuvering, but two Golems would be very cramped. Despite this, even a single Golem would significantly enhance the Galaxy’s role as a small mining and refining base.
The core of the discussion centers on the refinery module’s compatibility with various mining ships and containers. Originally designed to work with Prospector and Mold saddle bags, it’s unclear if it can accommodate other mining containers or ships from different manufacturers. The host speculates that new containers might be compatible, but no official confirmation exists yet. They also consider the possibility of the refinery working with mech suits, given the presence of potential mech stations near the module, which could be useful for mining or repair purposes, especially with the Geo’s size fitting well with the module’s small lift.
Further, the video examines the Galaxy’s interior design and potential modifications. The host advocates for more windows, especially since the ship was marketed as an exploration vessel, and additional visibility would be beneficial. They also note the need for better access points, such as ramps or doors, to facilitate ground vehicle operations. The current design’s lack of rear access hampers ground transport, but the Geo’s jetpack capabilities could allow for easier re-entry and transport of mined ore, making the Galaxy more practical for ground-based operations.
The host discusses potential improvements and modifications to the Galaxy’s interior, including opening up long corridors and adding windows to enhance its exploration capabilities. They highlight a specific small window in one of the stations that could serve as an observation point or control station, which was previously overlooked. These interior enhancements would make the ship more versatile and visually appealing, aligning with its intended exploration role. The host emphasizes that these are personal suggestions and that the ship’s final design may differ.
Finally, the host thanks their Patreon supporters and channel members, who enable the creation of detailed, months-long projects like these videos. They showcase interactive scenes of the Galaxy interior and modules, allowing supporters to explore the ship in a web browser. The video concludes with a mention of upcoming content, including a new scene prepared for an upcoming event, and invites viewers to submit questions for a future FAQ. Overall, the video provides an in-depth look at the Galaxy’s potential, current limitations, and possible future improvements.
