In this video, Ryan, also known as Mac, provides updates on the latest ships and vehicles in Star Citizen. He begins by discussing the progress of the RSI Zeus, which is currently in the graybox stage. The focus is on finalizing various areas and polishing previous ones to match the Contemporary RSI style. Ryan speculates that the Zeus may be released sooner than initially stated, as it is progressing well.
Next, he talks about the Polaris, which is also in the graybox stage. Modular pieces for lifts, Habs corridors, and hangars have been completed. These modular assets may be shared with other RSI ships, like the Galaxy and Perseus, which would help expedite their development. The progress of the Polaris is going well, but there is still work to be done.
Ryan then mentions that the AIS Retaliator is back in development. The gold standard work on this ship has resumed, and adjustments are being made to its interiors. He hopes to see the Retaliator become the first modular ship, capable of swapping out its Bombay for habitation, cargo, or a drop ship module. This could pave the way for ship modularity in the game.
The video also reveals information about two unannounced vehicles. One vehicle has completed its LOD zero phase, and the team is working on paints. Some areas have already made it through final content, and the team hopes to be hands-off in a few weeks. The other unannounced ship has received an updated lighting pass and other updates, indicating that it is progressing well in the vehicle pipeline.
Lastly, Ryan mentions two new variants that are in development. One is in the graybox stage and beginning the LOD phase, while the other has completed LOD zero and is awaiting a review. These variants could potentially be related to the Ursa Rover or other unannounced vehicles. Overall, there is a lot of exciting progress happening with ships and vehicles in Star Citizen, with some surprises yet to be revealed.
