The video provides an in-depth tour of Star Citizen’s RSI Apollo medical ship, highlighting its spacious and well-designed interior, distinctive exterior, and two variants—the white and red triage versions—while praising its medical functionality and aesthetics. However, the host criticizes the cumbersome cargo handling system and hopes for future improvements, emphasizing the ship’s primary role as a medical vessel rather than a combat ship.
The video presents an in-depth tour and first impressions of the RSI Apollo, a new medical ship in Star Citizen, highlighting its two variants: the white and the red “triage” version. The host begins by praising the ship’s exterior design, noting its resemblance to a squished Constellation ship, which makes sense given the shared manufacturer. The ship features distinctive stick-out engines, a large sunroof similar to the Constellation Phoenix, and an improved cockpit visor without the obstructive bar seen in previous models. The red triage variant is noted for having less armor and missiles but a cleaner glass design, which the host prefers. Viewers are invited to share their preferences between the two variants.
Moving inside, the host is impressed by the surprisingly spacious interior, which contrasts with the ship’s relatively modest external size. The ship includes detailed animations, such as the docking collar door, and a well-designed interior layout with storage cupboards, suit lockers, and medical beds. The medical beds come in three tiers, with tier one being the highest quality for respawning distance and injury treatment, and tier three the lowest. The ship’s interior also features small bathrooms on each side, ample storage, and a large sunroof that brings in natural light, making the space feel open and inviting.
The host also points out fun and quirky details, such as a Vandal figure inside the ship that can be interacted with, adding personality to the environment. The ship has various engineering panels and components that are still being developed, promising more functionality in the future. There is a cozy crew hab area with seating, a small table, and what appears to be a food prep area and shower, suitable for a small crew of two or three people. From the pilot’s seat, visibility is excellent with a great panoramic view, despite the pilot not sitting in the center, and the ship’s flight characteristics are described as heavy but satisfying.
However, the host expresses one major criticism about the ship’s cargo handling. The cargo grid area, which is intended for medical supplies and equipment, is awkwardly designed, requiring players to maneuver cargo boxes through a narrow ramp and into a small square cargo grid. This setup feels cumbersome and inefficient compared to a potential cargo lift or more accessible storage solution. The host hopes for a future cargo variant or an “Apollo Max” version that might address this issue and make cargo handling more practical for medical missions.
Finally, the host gives a brief overview of the red triage variant’s interior, which is configured with higher-tier medical beds and similar amenities. The ship is emphasized as primarily a medical vessel, not a combat ship, though it does have some defensive capabilities including a turret on top. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their thoughts on the ship and a mention of related content, including how the host acquired the ship’s armor. Overall, the RSI Apollo is celebrated as a beautiful, well-designed medical ship with a few areas for improvement, especially in cargo logistics.
