The video provides a detailed walkthrough of the RSI Zeus CL, a cargo variant ship from Star Citizen, highlighting its specifications, features, and interior layout. The presenter explores the ship’s cockpit, components, and living quarters, expressing excitement about testing it further once officially released.
The video begins with a disclaimer from the presenter, clarifying that they are not part of the Evo testers and are not under any non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). They introduce the content as a walkthrough of the RSI Zeus CL, derived from a Star Citizen pipeline leak. The presenter expresses excitement about testing the ship in detail once it is officially released and invites viewers to join in exploring the ship’s features.
The RSI Zeus CL is a cargo variant measuring 46 meters in length, 34 meters in width, and 8 meters in height, with a cargo capacity of 128 SCU. The ship is equipped with a size 2 tractor beam and has two size 2 power plants, coolers, and shields, along with a size 2 quantum drive. The pilot can control two size 4 hardpoints, and the ship features a remote turret with two size 3 guns and two size 4 missile racks. Access to the ship is provided through two entrances, one in the back and another via a narrow ladder.
Upon entering the ship, the presenter notes the cramped space in the bridge, which accommodates three people but offers limited room for movement. The cockpit features two multifunction displays (MFDs) that allow for power management and weapon control. The presenter explores the MFD functions, including power allocation, weapon status, and a variety of operational modes. The design is described as streamlined, although the presenter acknowledges the need for further testing to fully understand its capabilities.
The tour continues to the components located behind the pilot seat, showcasing a good shield generator and weapon racks for both heavy and small weapons. There are also suit lockers and an airlock that allows for some movement outside the ship. The presenter highlights the potential for players to stand outside the ship while it is in flight, similar to features seen in other ships like the Drake Corsair. The engineering terminal and fire extinguisher are also mentioned as new features.
Finally, the video takes viewers through the living quarters, which include a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping arrangements with three beds. The presenter observes the shared storage lockers and speculates on the ship’s cargo capabilities, particularly regarding fitting a medical Ursa Rover inside. The Zeus CL is characterized as a sleek and attractive ship, and the presenter expresses eagerness to test it once available. The video concludes with thanks to the viewers for watching.
