In the video, the host discusses updates on three highly anticipated ships in Star Citizen: the Drake Ironclad, Idris, and RSI Perseus. The focus is on whether these ships will be available during the upcoming Invictus event, as well as their current development status. The host encourages viewers to subscribe and join the community Discord, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of these ships.
Starting with the Drake Ironclad, the host expresses cautious optimism about its potential release during Invictus. Although the ship was absent from the last monthly report, it has been in development for a while, and previous reports indicated it was progressing through the WhiteBox and GrayBox stages. Despite the lack of recent updates, the host believes there is a chance the Ironclad could surprise players during the event, though there is some skepticism due to its absence in leaked files for the current patch.
Next, the video shifts focus to the Idris, which is reportedly flyable in the current PTU patch and has received several interior updates. The ship features a specific Invictus skin, leading many to speculate about its appearance at the event. However, the host notes that the Idris was initially slated for release alongside Squadron 42, creating doubt about its availability for Invictus. The host emphasizes the unpredictability of the developers’ statements, suggesting that while the Idris seems ready, its release timeline remains uncertain.
The host then discusses the RSI Perseus, expressing confidence that it will not be available at Invictus. The ship is still in the GrayBox stage, which is not advanced enough for a flyable release. While there is a slight chance it could be displayed or mentioned during the event, the host believes a more realistic timeline for its release is around CitizenCon later in the year. The anticipation surrounding the Perseus is noted, especially among fans eager for updates.
Finally, the video briefly addresses two additional ships: the Zeus Mark IMR and the RSI Apollo. The host clarifies that the Zeus will not be available for a while due to its dependence on upcoming bounty hunting technology. In contrast, the RSI Apollo, which is also in GrayBox, might be released by the end of the year, although its drone functionalities remain a concern. The video concludes with an invitation for viewer feedback and a thank you for their support, encouraging an ongoing discussion about these ships.
