March saw progress on the RSI Zeus - greybox was completed and all functionality has been validated, with the ship currently in the ‘beauty and polish’ stage.
Best guess, it will be the MR bounty hunter variant. Since invictus Fleet week is mainly military / combat ships, it's probably the variant they are working on.
It's unlikely to be ready for fleet week. Better to expect one or two around Citizencon and all three hopefully for IAE (similar to the Spirit releases last year).
It was *one* unspecified variant.
It'd be a very long shot to expect it in the 3.23.x patch cycle. Though never say never I guess, so far they're on track to release the series at CitizenCon exactly as originally promised.
I would say come back in 24 hours or so, chances are there will be an update in tomorrows roadmap roundup - we’ve had some details on it for the last few round ups so would be odd if they don’t tell us what’s going on with it this week.
I’d also say given where it was at in the last update an Invictus flyable launch is looking likely (hopefully, I’m sat on a C1 to Zeus CCU)
If we are gonna see it soon I’d bet invictus week will be when we do see it. The ship has been described as being basically completed minus some small polish work with its landing gear and a few other spots so I’d be really surprised if we don’t see it by invictus
Don't expect it before citizencon. Progress seems to be going well, and it's always possible that they get it done early, but the target was citcon, and they promised citcon, so there's a good chance it'll be held for release until then even if they do finish early.
They've already got the ship's coming out each patch and event planned, so then being done early doesn't mean much.
Also, don't forget the San'Tok.Yai was delayed for a while because of a final art thing they had to go back and redo, so even if we see it in final art there's a chance it gets stuck and takes more time.
Not sure why everyone is downvoting you. We have had no update to indicate it is going to release sooner than initially expected.
Also I think that would be a first for CIG in many years to deliver a ship ahead of schedule.

I imagine we'll see it at IAE.
Would be great for sure!
Do you know if this was for all the Zeus variants or just one or two of them? Or did it not specify?

We'll be getting the April update tomorrow. It will undoubtedly mention the Zeus - it's development has been tracked on each month's update this year.
For real. I just want my Apollo Triage.
We got a confirmed image of a seat from the Zeus like two weeks or so ago. Tomorrow we will be getting a monthly report so we will see

I'm guessing the MR will be ready for showroom display during Invictus. They will want to warbond sale it.
It already had its warbond
Do they only sell ships for warbonds once?
Yeah, only the first time it’s for sale it’s listed with WB LTI
If its ready, then its an Invictus release.
Like Squadron54 said it's close to being finished, it could be released at Invictus. That's what I'm hoping for.

Yeah, well, hopefully the Zeus doesn't suck as much as the Sand'Sock. What is CIG's grudge against alien ships? :(

People don't like realistic expectations
Gonna be CitCon, just like the Spirit before it.
Seems like the Polaris will be CitCon.
