In the video, Steve (Pin) provides a detailed overview of the RSI Apollo Medevac in Star Citizen, highlighting its two variants, modular medical facilities, and superior mobility compared to larger hospital ships, making it ideal for medical gameplay in fleet battles and organizations. He praises its practical design, weaponry, and spacious interior while noting minor drawbacks, ultimately expressing strong enthusiasm for its role in future medical gameplay and its appeal to dedicated medics.
In this video, Steve, also known as Pin, provides an in-depth overview of the RSI Apollo Medevac variant in Star Citizen. He explains that there are two versions of the Apollo: a civilian triage variant painted red and a more combat-oriented Medevac variant with enhanced armor, weaponry, and additional missiles. Steve highlights the ship’s importance for medical gameplay, especially in fleet battles or larger organizations, emphasizing its mobility as a key advantage over larger hospital ships like the Idris or Polaris, which are less practical for quick casualty retrieval.
Steve praises the ship’s modular bed system, allowing customization for different medical needs, which he sees as a thoughtful design choice. However, he notes the absence of drone functionality for casualty retrieval, which was part of the original concept but seems unlikely to be implemented. Despite this, he appreciates the Apollo as a spacious and mobile space clinic, ideal for the evolving medical gameplay in Star Citizen, which he believes will improve with upcoming features like engineering and fire-related injuries.
The exterior design of the Apollo retains the classic RSI style, sharing visual elements with the Constellation series, particularly the cockpit glass. While not conventionally attractive, Steve finds the ship’s aesthetics unique and fitting within the RSI lineup, complimenting its clean lines and practical design. He also discusses the ship’s weaponry and components, noting the inclusion of multiple shields, missile systems, and defensive turrets, which enhance its survivability during rescue missions in hostile environments.
Internally, Steve walks through the ship’s layout, highlighting the triage area, cargo spaces, and patient beds, which can accommodate up to six patients. He appreciates the clean, spacious interior and the thoughtful inclusion of patient storage, although he criticizes the placement of the toilet and washroom next to patient beds due to hygiene concerns. The cockpit and crew living quarters are described as comfortable and well-designed, with ample natural light and classic RSI styling, making it a pleasant environment for medical personnel.
Finally, Steve expresses enthusiasm for the Apollo’s potential role in Star Citizen’s future medical gameplay, believing it will be a cornerstone ship for dedicated medics and organizations. He also mentions his interest in the RSI Galaxy’s hospital module as a potential alternative but remains confident that the Apollo’s mobility and modularity make it an excellent choice. He concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts and promises more Star Citizen content soon.
