The video offers a detailed first look at the RSI Perseus in Star Citizen 4.4 PTU, highlighting its heavily armed exterior with multiple turrets and PDCs, spacious cargo hold capable of carrying vehicles, and a compact but functional interior featuring a well-equipped captain’s quarters. While some areas remain incomplete, the ship’s design emphasizes versatility in combat and transport, inviting players to explore it further at the Vision Center in Orison.
The video provides an in-depth first look at the RSI Perseus, showcased at the Vision Center during the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) 2955 in Star Citizen 4.4 PTU. The presenter excitedly discovers the full-size Perseus on display and begins by exploring its exterior features. The ship has a sharp, pointed nose and is heavily armed with multiple weapons, including two main size eight ballistic guns, several size three guns, and multiple Point Defense Cannons (PDCs) strategically placed around the ship. The Perseus also features remote turrets and manned turrets, offering a robust defensive and offensive capability.
Moving to the lower section of the ship, the presenter examines the cargo hold, which appears spacious and capable of being lowered like an elevator, similar to the Reclaimer’s design. This cargo area is large enough to accommodate ground vehicles and smaller ships, suggesting the Perseus can serve as a versatile carrier. Additionally, the ship has docking collars on both sides, enhancing its utility for docking and boarding operations. The presence of multiple entrances and remote turrets adds to the ship’s complexity and tactical options.
The interior exploration reveals that the bridge is relatively small and currently lacks seating, indicating that the interior is still under development. However, the captain’s quarters are more detailed, featuring lockers, weapon racks, seating, and tables, presenting a comfortable living and command space. The video notes that some areas are inaccessible or incomplete, but overall, the interior design balances functionality with a compact layout.
The back of the ship showcases engines similar in design to those of the Polaris, with additional PDCs and antennas enhancing the ship’s defensive and communication systems. The exterior design includes small wings or fins and multiple windows, including views into the cargo area, which further emphasizes the ship’s practical design for both combat and transport roles. The overall exterior appearance is sleek yet heavily fortified, attracting many players to witness the first look.
In summary, the RSI Perseus is a heavily armed and versatile ship with a strong focus on combat and cargo capabilities. It features two manned turrets with dual size eight cannons, additional size three guns, multiple remote turrets, and six PDCs. The cargo hold is spacious and likely capable of lowering for easy loading, while the bridge is small but functional, and the captain’s quarters are well-appointed. The video concludes with a note that torpedo tubes were not visible, leaving some questions unanswered, but invites viewers to visit the Vision Center at Orison to explore the Perseus themselves.
