   [Music] welcome to day two of our 2948 anniversary special i'm sandi gardiner and i'm chris roberts today we continue our biggest freefly event to date through next week we'll be featuring a different star citizenship manufacturer each day and making all their flyable ships available to test fly for free yeah so during the event anyone with an RSI account can get into the game and try out all the flyable ships there are 80 of them in total but today we're gonna be focusing on the manufacturer that side of them all Roberts space industries and they're ubiquitous models yes we are and to discuss the ships of RSI here are John crew Chris Smith

2. 00:00:46

   and Jared Huckaby okay so the RSI ship that's on the imager Amida is an RSI ship but the one that sits Kreuger that merlin is made by Krueger and the one on the Phoenix is maybe like worried you know it's made by Kruger as well they're both the same yeah yeah the different but they're two different yeah all right the side so RSI Roberts space industries that Robert space industries are a manufacturer for today it's not just a manufacturer in the game the name is on our letterhead what do you think of when you think of RSI struts obstructed view my word is strut Pitts I got that off I

3. 00:01:40

   got yeah I got that off the forum somebody on the forum coined that term strut Pitts the view is a strut Pitts all right this is what I think I think of civilian armament okay thank you for coming to play Chris thank you expand on that what it what is to the what a civilian well you know it's basically you know they focus mainly on civilian and general consumer products my utilitarian ship production all right every man ship focus every person's share so talking about RSI ships we've got the aurora and we've got the constellation two ends of the spectrum here let's talk about the aurora first what's the Aurora Aurora is a bread-and-butter the ship everyone should know it's your biggest issue everyone flies these gets familiar with

4. 00:02:30

   it's a good starting point if you're new to the game it's where you're meant to start yeah it's probably most people have one if they've back to the game in any way there are there are as objects there are almost 400,000 Aurora's in the verse right now that's the number one shuttle a oh by far by far they give you that introductory experience they give you the taste of doing a little bit of the gameplay and let you sort of find out what you enjoy like do I enjoy just exploring do I enjoy shooting people do I enjoy just going in rescuing people or giving the lifts do I enjoy taking cargo to places or do it all in shooting a desk yeah we have a bunch of a rosemary man rescued for just that purpose exploration area we've got a we've got an interdiction variant yeah

5. 00:03:18

   there's cargo carrying cargo variants as well so there's there's more than enough Aurora variants to sort of give you a little taste of each of those different careers right so if I'm new to star citizen if I've joined in with our free flight that's going on right now and for the rest of the week the Aurora is a good place to start now the other end of the spectrum is a ship that I know the two of you are very familiar with the constellation series and that constellation you go from from a single-player starter ship to a multi crew experience so let's let's talk about the constellation it will talk about the constellation prison then we'll talk about multi cruise so tell me about the constellation but it you've worked you've worked on three of the four variants that exists yep so we started with the Andromeda that was a tag team effort between Chris and I Josh did the exterior I did the interior part

6. 00:04:07

   that way we could work at the same time I was here it looks so good yeah but the exterior looks fabulous to me tears are when we remade the Connie we immediately built it to be modular so it it's kind of like LEGO pieces you have the nose and back the body and the tail and they can be swapped out for different modules or so we can then build off the variances the most recent RSI addition to the game is the is the constellation Phoenix which is more than just a paint job and change to the Andromeda talk was about 9:15 --ax back when we like analyze that we said okay we would have to do work on the exterior body section and the massive work on the interior body section which is the total art we do because it's the luxury interior right

7. 00:04:56

   which is almost like I take a tank and then make the insight like you know that was that was challenging and it took a couple attempts to get it get in the right direction and had a lot of good art feedback and it was also you know a sort of a testbed ship for multiplayer multi cruise ship still is today yeah yeah a multi crew opens up rolls beyond just the people who are good pilots and people that are good FPS players yeah I mean I'd be the best pilot in a single seed ship a dog fighter but I I could work to become the best engineer yeah I could work to become the best scanner operators those moments those like Star Trek moments you take a round through and it hits the component it goes down and you get a guy back there to get on there and fix it and they fixed it in a timely manner and it saves the team

8. 00:05:44

   being able to have an engineer's out there twiddling all the numbers or the shield guy moving all the shield faces around and hardening them and overpowering them that's the sort of integrated gameplay that is really gonna help Owen in those yeah place yeah you have to work as a team on that ship to be as effective as everyone else the most effective team on our constellation is gonna win if you get it in sync you're gonna crush them yeah you're gonna crush stuff pretend I'm somebody who has friends and I've come to sitting what everyone's struggle here what what are we gonna do want to console you what's our gameplay experience gonna be like Annika saved on the Connie and other multi-crew ships you guess like a much wider range of missions you can do with a single seater ship we're sort of limited in you can only do relatively

9. 00:06:32

   small combat missions or you can maybe pick up a box and take it somewhere with the Connie you've got a huge cargo bay and filled with cargo so you've got Trading's and open to you now you've got turrets and much bigger guns on there so between the three of you they can do much more interesting combat missions can hold a ground vehicle that unlocks a huge amount of not just missions but just general messing around they are so Rover yes I'm embarrassing yeah that fits in there and yeah it's it's just more it has the Merlin on the back so it's got this stub ship that can help defend it so yeah it has a lot of little features this is the multi-crew gameplay testbed I think that the connoisseur exemplifies multi creighton star citizen because it's got that you've got three

10. 00:07:21

    people sat there they're all within eyesight to each other like it's like we just sat on this table is essentially how the Connie is you're there you're in eyesight you can use or stuff like type and VoIP to communicate how do they impact multi-crew gameplay I mean obviously I got I think the ability to talk with people instead of having to type everything out is a big feature you have to talk is a huge thing and it's not just that because you could you could use other systems to talk to each other with voice chat mhm but having it grounded in the game in the game world makes makes that huge difference beyond just being able to see people's faces moves which can cause hilarious results about having that spatial sound and just the layers where I know that Chris is next to me when I hear his voice I'm sat

11. 00:08:09

    in what Miller seats and I hear someone get out their seats and whilst they're talking to me and you hear them go yeah towards the back of the chair condition yeah every gonna be everything on that yeah yeah it's more accessible it's more than just immersion though when you're in the back of the ship you know your voice is modulated and I hear it over there I know Chris is far away but when I hear him and I don't hear that modulation and I hear him from right I know instinctively without having to turn around that he's made his way back from the back of the ship he's there right next to me yeah yeah and stuff you know there's little speed things up I mean absolutely as far as psyche in the combat situation where you have to be quick and sort of on your feet yeah our voice like hands down it's like when one of my favorite favorite features is kind of serious but yeah alright Highlander Islander time you can only keep one honest

12. 00:08:57

    ship what one RSI shifting keep keep there Ryan yo Ryan big money playing dude recombine lasers mining lasers big munchies mouth it's gonna stop when it comes time for their I need expect at the latest yeah you know little prospectors there with his little laser I'm go Ryan just coming your I'm going Andromeda it's uh yeah if I had to pick one and all all the rest of vanished and I'd picked the Andromeda just for the people about yeah yeah it's just it's the biggest multi-role to the biggest like you know multi-tool ship in the catalog but I got to make some friends first well tell you I'm gonna make more friends to cuz I would pick the Phoenix I like the luxury part and

13. 00:09:45
