TL;DW:

• RSI Zeus MKII:
  • There’s a front entrance (ladder).
  • “Zeus is an evolution on RSI style.”
  • “It’s a stepping stone ship.”
  • ES (exploration) and CL (cargo) variants will release together.
  • It took a year to create.
• MFDs:
  • Initial release of new ship MFDs will bring 5 styles (AEGIS, ANVIL, DRAKE, ARGO, generic).
  • Self status info will depend on active operator mode, there’s a unique version for turrets.
  • Weapon status view is completely new.
  • Scanning and comms are moved to MFDs.
  • New diagnostics view with component health, errors and critical issues.
  • Bunch of settings will be adjustable from MFDs now (stuff like coupled mode toggle, g-safe, lag pips, casting to HUD etc).
  • Some visual changes to in-cockpit radars.

Lots of visuals so watch the episode for a full experience.
