The host enthusiastically showcases the RSI Perseus, praising its perfect balance of size, design, and functionality for solo or small crew play in Star Citizen, highlighting its sleek aesthetics, efficient layout, and practical features. He also shares his intent to explore the ship’s weapon systems further, rates its engine sounds positively, and looks forward to upcoming game content while inviting viewers to stay tuned for a flight test.
In this video, the host shares his excitement about unveiling a new ship in Star Citizen, the RSI Perseus, which he believes might be the last large ship he personally purchases. He explains his evolving preference for smaller, more compact ships over the massive ones like the Idris, Kraken, and 890 Jump, citing the impracticality of navigating huge vessels and his desire for more manageable gameplay. Despite owning several large ships, he feels the Perseus hits the sweet spot in size and design, making it ideal for his solo playstyle.
Upon retrieving the Perseus from the ASOP vehicle retrieval system, the host takes viewers on a detailed tour of the ship. He highlights the ship’s sleek RSI design with sharp angles and robust landing gear, appreciating its aesthetic and functional aspects. The walkthrough covers various sections including the cargo bay, turrets, escape pods, and crew quarters, emphasizing the ship’s balance between size and efficiency. He also notes small but meaningful details like mirrors and windows that enhance immersion.
The host delves into specific features such as the torpedo bay and weapon systems, though he admits to some confusion about firing the big guns, promising to explore this further later. He praises the ship’s compact layout, which avoids the long treks typical of larger ships, making it more practical and enjoyable to operate. The crew quarters with six beds are acknowledged, along with the potential for friends to log in and use these spaces, though he humorously notes that friends often don’t join him in-game.
Moving to the bridge and captain’s quarters, the host expresses his satisfaction with the ship’s design, especially the central pilot seat and the efficient use of space. He appreciates the proximity of the captain’s quarters to the bridge, a nod to classic sci-fi design, and the inclusion of amenities like a toilet, suit locker, and desk. The overall impression is that the Perseus offers a near-perfect blend of functionality, comfort, and style for a solo or small crew player.
Finally, the host tests the ship’s engine sounds and overall feel, rating the audio design a 7 to 7.5 out of 10, noting improvements but wishing for a bit more bass to convey the ship’s heft. He contrasts the Perseus with the much larger 890 Jump to highlight its manageable size and expresses enthusiasm for the upcoming Intergalactic Aerospace Expo (IAE) and the new Clipper ship. Wrapping up, he invites viewers to like and subscribe, promising a flight test of the Perseus soon and signaling excitement for future content.
