One of the most anticipated ships in the Star Citizen universe is the Aegis Dynamics Idris. The largest ship available for purchase during the early Kickstarter campaign, only 100 Idrises were made available at that time. The Idris is a medium-sized capital ship capable of storing smaller fighters and being run by a team of players working together. They have since been regularly sold during the anniversary and holiday sales as well as unique UEE military events like Invictus week. There are two main body variants and the third variant by kit. the Idris-M, the Idris-P, and The Idris-K.
- The Idris-P mark two “peacekeeper” variant developed for the UEE patrol services, strips the standard ship’s ship-to-ship gun and spinal mount in favor of additional cargo capacity and superior speed.
- The Idris-M is the military version of the Idris line, the rarest of the Idris pledge offerings as they were only sold in limited quality and in $10,000 and up pledge packages. The Idris-M continues to remain a rare ship.
- The Idris-K is an aftermarket upgrade kit (initially produced for the UEE government seeking an improved patrol/protection plan) will bolster the offensive power of your Idris-P. Take your Idris from deterrent to destroyer with a load-out carefully curated for the specific purpose of repelling, engaging, and hunting attack fleets and other capital-class vessels.
