The author of the video believes that the developers of Star Citizen are missing out on a huge opportunity by limiting the RSI Apollo ship to just being an ambulance. They argue that the exterior design of the ship is too cool to be wasted on just one role. The Apollo is described as a medium-sized ship, larger than the Cutlass but smaller than the 400i. It has a sleek design and is single-decked, which makes it appealing to players. The ship’s interior includes a cockpit and medical bays, but the author suggests that these modules could be replaced with other types, such as cargo modules or combat systems.
In terms of combat capability, the author proposes that the Apollo variant should be balanced to avoid rendering the Cutlass Black ship obsolete. They suggest equipping the variant with four size 2 gimbal guns and possibly a turret, or sacrificing cargo space for more powerful payloads. They also mention the possibility of better speed and agility or a dual size 2 shield generator for increased protection. The author encourages viewers to share their ideas in the comment section.
The author speculates on the potential pricing for different variant options of the Apollo. They compare it to the Cutlass lineup, where the medical version is more expensive than the base version. Given that the Apollo would offer superior capabilities to the Cutlass, the author suggests a base price of $190, $225 for the medical variant, and a range from $235 to $245 for the combat variant.
In conclusion, the author believes that Cloud Imperium Games could capitalize on the design of the RSI Apollo by creating more variants of the ship beyond just the ambulance role. They argue that the ship’s design and potential modularity make it suitable for other purposes, such as cargo transportation or combat.
