The video provides an in-depth first look at the RSI Apollo, a new ship introduced in the Star Citizen alpha 4.3.1 PTU patch. The host begins by exploring the exterior of the ship, noting its size has increased to roughly that of a Constellation. Key features highlighted include the two size four guns on the front, a rear cargo ramp, multiple engines including a large engine cluster, and missile racks capable of holding 16 size two missiles on the medevac variant. The ship also features Weiwoo lights and a remote turret on top, emphasizing its readiness for various operational roles.
Moving inside, the presenter examines the cargo area, which appears spacious with multiple storage lockers and racks for components and weapons. The rear ramp leads into an airlock, which was teased in previous reports and initially mistaken for another ship. The interior layout includes engineering stations, cargo storage, and medical modules, showcasing a mix of functionality and RSI’s sleek design aesthetic. The cargo doors are wide enough to comfortably handle multiple SCU boxes, indicating good logistical capabilities.
The medical bay is a standout feature, with the video showcasing different tiers of medical modules. The tier three module includes three medical beds on each side, patient storage drawers, and shelves for medical supplies like medgel canisters. The clinical and clean RSI styling is praised, with a suggestion that similar design elements could enhance other ships like the Polaris. The ship also includes two bathrooms and ample space for medical operations, highlighting its role as a medevac and triage vessel.
Further forward in the ship, the habitation area is designed for a crew of two, featuring beds, storage cabinets, a small bathroom, and a seating area with a table. The cockpit offers excellent visibility with RSI’s new unique multi-function display (MFD) styling, providing clear views around the ship and an improved pilot interface. The host appreciates the thinner cockpit struts compared to other ships, which enhances the overall view and pilot experience.
Finally, the video revisits the ship in a hangar for a closer look at the exterior and medical modules with tier one and two configurations. The tier two medical module includes more decorative and advanced medical equipment, while the tier one module features a serious-looking medical bed and fewer patient storage options. The host notes the ship’s increased size, functionality, and aesthetic improvements, encouraging viewers to share their thoughts and excitement about the Apollo’s arrival in the game. Overall, the RSI Apollo is presented as a highly anticipated, versatile ship with significant upgrades and a promising future in Star Citizen.
