In the latest video from Ryan, also known as Ma, he discusses the exciting new ships currently in production for Star Citizen, as highlighted in the recent monthly report. The video begins with a thank you to his patrons and channel members for their support. Ryan mentions that several vehicles are progressing through the white and gray box stages of development, indicating they are still in the early phases of production. He lists the ships being worked on, including the Pioneer, Ironclad, Paladin, Starlancer TAC, Argo CSV FM, RSI Apollo, and Perseus.
The first ship discussed is the Consolidated Outland Pioneer, a significant addition focused on base building. Originally revealed in 2017, the Pioneer has undergone extensive redesign to align with the latest advancements in gameplay. Ryan expresses excitement about its potential to enable players to construct full settlements, especially with base building expected to roll out within the next 12 to 18 months. He notes that due to its size and the complexity of its redesign, the Pioneer is likely still in the white box phase, suggesting a later release date.
Next, Ryan covers the Drake Ironclad, a large freighter that serves as a larger counterpart to the Caterpillar. It features an expansive interior cargo space and is designed for transporting smaller vehicles. He highlights its potential to enhance Drake’s aesthetic and functionality, especially in areas like Pyro. Ryan also mentions the Anvil Paladin, a midsized gunship equipped with multiple weapon systems, which may be closer to release given its size and complexity.
The discussion continues with the Starlancer TAC, a combat-focused ship that Ryan is particularly enthusiastic about due to its design and combat capabilities. He envisions thrilling scenarios where the ship could provide aerial support to ground troops. Additionally, he introduces the Argo CSV FM, a construction vehicle designed for base building, which will allow players to construct medium-sized structures. This vehicle will complement the Pioneer by providing smaller-scale building options for players.
Finally, Ryan touches on the RSI Apollo, a medium medical ship aimed at providing medical support to players, and the Perseus, a large gunship with formidable weaponry. He concludes by acknowledging that there are likely many unannounced vehicles in development and expresses anticipation for their release throughout the year. Ryan encourages viewers to subscribe to his channel for more updates and invites them to join his streaming sessions, emphasizing the collaborative and engaging nature of gameplay in Star Citizen.
