Unannounced Large/Capital RSI medical ship, or just perseus?

[FZD]

So, the monthly report this time was a bit interesting. HULL B!
But there was also bit of a puzzle there:

In North America, the RSI Apollo Medivac and Triage continued to be prepared for release, with testing and bug fixing being the focus. Ships also supported the Gameplay teams with medical gameplay adjustments.

Some of the team then moved onto a related-but-unannounced ship.

The RSI Perseus was prepared for its LOD0 gate review, with additional lighting and detail passes being done across both the interior and exterior.

Now, the format of the monthly report is usually Paragraph, then picture related to the paragraph. So the picture should be related to the "related-but-unannounced ship," but the next paragraph talks about Perseus and that also has 3 decks... Not sure if it has an elevator though. Probably does? Could be Perseus' elevator picture. But rest of the report, it's Paragraph, then picture. Never Picture then paragraph.

Additionally, in the picture LEVEL -0- the text says "____B DECK" for Level 0. This doesn't really fit Perseus, as the Level 0 would be ORLOP DECK, hard P. Rather, could be something like "LAB DECK," "HAB DECK," "SUB DECK", "SCRUB DECK," "ORB DECK," "REHAB DECK" or "HERB DECK" (idk, medicinal botany?). Or "MED-B DECK" though that seems a bit contrived. Any ideas?

So, what do you guys think, we getting a large or possibly even capital RSI medical ship? Or just Perseus?

Sounds like progress

I think the Hull B is going to be the darling of the Hull lineup I've been waiting for it for ages. Hopefully 500scu in a format that's easy to fly use load and unload unlike the Hull C.

The Perseus is not the only ship with that profile. It's got a sister called the Galaxy that has a medical bay module. But that is not exactly an unannounced ship. And really, we don't need many more medical ships... we just need the medical ships already announced.

Edit. I'm getting cynical.

Related-but-unannounced is rather vague. Personally I hope it's anything BUT another medical ship, even in the highly unlikely event that medical gameplay becomes more than an annoyance.

Not sure what else the Apollo chassis could sensibly morph into, but they have also hinted at a previously-unreleased game loop. Any speculation on that folks...?

Hull B is one that I've hung onto. If it can handle 32 SCU boxes it's a win, otherwise it'll melt in the nuclear fires of Stanton's core. Or get CCU'd.

That's no B. That's an ____R Deck.
As in IncineratoR Deck.
Probably on the new Reclaimer "Harvester".
The ship that processes biological matter into... bio-paste for the Med beds.
Think soilent green...
Thus I call the new loop "Bio harvesting"!

Hopefully 500scu in a format that's easy to fly use load and unload unlike the Hull C.

And steal from with my trusty Prowler Utility...

Well, if we could turn one half of the ship into a bar area and the other half into a detox clinic we'd got a loop in itself...

Wait!!! Your my buddy my test friend why u steal meh? :(


(if that's the way it is - meet my persius, please feel admire it for 3 seconds before you go boom boom) (two seconds worth was the turret turning towards you)

Sounds like their working on 4 unnanounced ships.

I hope 1 is the RSi Arrastra

Me want big mineys

The arrastra is an announced ship…
These sound like something new.

I with the 2024 financials, the cash on hand, the major ship sale drive that seems to be generating record numbers, I am wondering if they are attempting to get enough cash on hand to pay back the investors if the 2026 release does not go as planned/gets pushed back

Never bro, never!
Me was jus thinkin' of lightening ya load a bit.
Honest!
Simple TESTing if it can be done.
Good tests need repeating for valid results though.
So... no hard feelings, aye?

Well it does feel very heavy and ship handles slow like a slug maybe it would be better if you "helped" me

While it stands to debate wether 32 SCU cargo less will change the handling of that brick in any noticable manner I'd be happy to help slim her down.
Provided the single box size does not exceed 16 SCU.
Because, you know... the PRUti gets indigestion from the big Boxes...
