More Grind in the Hull-B #StarCitizen

@SteelWicker 2/2 ..further forward and the rest of the components on an elevator on the bottom behind the bed. Only have the life support module, engineering, and mostly just living accouterments in the cabin. Make the floor a ladder instead of stairs for the shorter cabin.

@SteelWicker 1/2 think it's the way it is, because to try and find access space for those modules on the outside of the ship would have been too complex, given the shape of the vehicle. It would have probably compromised the look of the exterior. But I do think they could have put the bed...

I'm gonna ruffle some feathers here, but the M80 interior sucks, and its because its not that useful. I spoke about this with an org mate last night, and it just keeps bugging me. I love the M80 as a ship, so don't let this little rant make you think I hate the ship. To illustrate my point, lets compare the M80 to the Aurora Mk II, the latest and greatest starter ship, and we will not be including the modules for that. This isn't quite an apples to apples comparison because the components on the Aurora are Size 1, and the components on the M80 are size 2, but both have an identical setup for the number of components, including 2 coolers, 1 power plant, 2 shield generators, a radar and a quantum drive with jump drive module for making jumps between systems. Below are screenshots of the ships side by side and their respective interiors. The Aurora is much smaller, and outside of the life support system, all components are outside of the ship. Meanwhile the coolers and the power plant on the M80 seem to be on the interior behind glass panels. The interiors on both feature a single person bed, and a storage shelf for a couple 1/8th SCU boxes, and a personal storage compartment, and a weapons rack (although these too are different with an advantage going to the lower priced starter ship), but that is it for the similarities. The Aurora features an engineering screen, while the M80 does not. The Aurora also sports a Suit Locker, while the M80 does not. The Aurora has a Fire Extinguisher, while the M80 does not, which is quite an odd choice with all the components being right inside of the ship's cabin. Thegun rack on the aurora supports 2 rifles, 3 sidearms and 3 magazines of ammo or attachments for the multitool, while the M80 supports just 2 rifles and 3 magazines. Notably, the Aurora does fall short on its cargo by losing out on 1 slot of 1/8th SCU cargo inside as compared to the M80, and it has a cargo grid that supports a full 2 SCU box, instead of the 2x 1 SCU boxes supported by the Aurora, but that's all it loses as far as ammenities goes. I think we can all agree that the M80 should have many of those features as standard, and even a few extra that aren't on a smaller Aurora. For starters, move the components outside. put the coolers on the "wings" like in the Aurora, put the power plant underneath, move the life support systems up by the pilot as well, move the gun rack and storage locker, make the gun rack morr similar to what the Aurora has, put a fire extinguisher in by the pilot, and add an engineering screen somehwere else that makes sense. Next, add a small mini kitchen/ food printer for when that sustem comes online, add a suit locker, and add a drake style combo toilet/shower room, of course with Origin styling. If CIG did those things, this would become a fantastic bunker runner that people could daily drive and live out of, provided they dont care about cargo or having a ground vehicle, although a Pulse might just fit on that ramp. Anyways, sorry about my rant, the interior just has been a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the ship. Again, I love the M80, I am just criticizing how CIG Choose to lay it out inside. No hate towards the devs who worked on this, because everything else about the ship is fantastic. #StarCitizen

@StarCitizenDan It's because they had to turn it into a life raft for the entire crew.

Dan LOVE CM (I know I'm the only one) But I have to say I really miss the old interior, it used to be SO much cooler wtf?

Looks like Star Citizen's Odin promotional video has leaked. Looks amazing! Gen-Xrs are big fans for some reason.

@LensNationX I hope this years BIS paint looks as good as last years, because the M80 would look awesome in that paint scheme. (Nice pic, too! 👍)

@BrianRoemmele The U.S. has had designs like that for decades. It isn't going to be built, because it won't be able to operate supersonically over land. That's the purpose of the X-59, which will allow supersonic flight over land.

2.5 Times Faster Than The Concorde! New Jet From Japan: Speed >3,800 MPH! Japan just lit the afterburners on the JAXA just pulled off the country’s first successful ramjet combustion test for a Mach 5 hypersonic passenger aircraft hitting speeds over 3,800 mph and handling ~1,000°C heat like it was nothing. That’s more than 2.5× faster than Concorde. Tokyo to New York in about two hours! This is how the world starts shrinking dramatically. The future isn’t coming… it’s already in the wind tunnel.

@TheRubenSaurus I think it's cool as hell.

The Anvil Odin page is up, it's beautiful! One paint video I'll never get to make 😅 What are your thoughts? robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/t… #StarCitizen

@zirHazeGaming I stayed with the Ironclad because I have a Liberator on order. If you don't, I would go with the assault, because you can use it as a base to refuel and fix salvage ships, mining ships, etc. You use it for all kinds of long range industrial game play.

Star Citizens, I need your help on this one! Looking to upgrade my C2 Hercules to a Drake Ironclad — but which variant? 🚛 Ironclad (Cargo) — 2204 SCU armored, pure freight beast 💣 Ironclad Assault — Less cargo, but 34 infantry seats + service bay + heavy armor I’m a blue-collar hauler at heart, but the Assault has me curious. Whaddya think? #StarCitizen #Drake

I guess I'm going to need a second account with the name of Derek Wildstar. (IYKYK) #StarCitizen robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/t…

@MrYourry @RobertsSpaceInd @CloudImperium That's a really cool shot! 😎👍

Happy Sunday in the Verse everyone 🤩 #StarCitizen LIVE 4.8 #scifiart #VirtualPhotography @RobertsSpaceInd @CloudImperium

@JayNut_001 Your as bad as my cousin. He's the same way. "Whatever, this is what I found." Whereas, I'm the space Garanimal. Not only does my armor have to match, it must also not clash with the paint on my spaceship, lol.

Life of the loot goblin, never wearing color matching armor #StarCitizen

@zirHazeGaming I'll always love the Vulture, just because it looks like a space Road Grader and I loved those (Tonka 4ever!) when I was a kid.

Blue-collar citizens — settle this for me. What's the BEST salvaging ship in Star Citizen right now? No wrong answers, just real experience. Drop your pick below⏬#StarCitizen #Salvaging -Oh, and honorary mention, the MISC Salvation (it just doesn't make the top four, for me
