18 Apr RSI Aurora MK2 vs MK1 | An Artist’s Perspective | Star Citizen 4.7
The RSI Aurora has always been one of the most iconic starter ships in Star Citizen… but with the release of the Aurora MK2, things just got interesting.
In this video, I break down the Aurora MK2 vs MK1 from an artist’s perspective — looking at design language, all perspectives, design cues and if the Aurora Mk2 follows any of the design cues of the original.
This isn’t your typical review. I am not talking about stats and performance. This is about form, function, and visual storytelling.
What you’ll see in this video:
Side-by-side Aurora MK2 vs MK1 comparison
Design improvements (and regressions)
Shape language & visual hierarchy breakdown
Some cool cinematic of both the ships set to some cool music
If you’re into ship design, concept art, or just love Star Citizen — this one’s for you.

Let me know in the comments:
– Did I miss a design cue in the Aurora Mk2 which reminds you of the original design?
– So is the Aurora MK2 closer to Scorpius than it is to Aurora MkI?
