Fly it suggestively over Klesher? Thing looks like a penis, might get MISC an increase in sales...
Especially if Orion finally gets a WB CCU with around $50 discount. That'd be just perfect.
Been lowkey wanting an Orion, but $575 seemed like too much.
Also means that Hull B might go up by more than previously estimated. And Hull D and E will definitely go up by a lot, though you can't really CCU around at the high-end so I'm slightly less excited about that.
I ended up picking one up and when I went to check it out, someone got on the elevator with me and ended up going into my ship. I warned them I was just checking it out then restoring it. Not sure what happened to them when I restored the ship ;p
Stated cargo capacity for the Hull series is:
| Ship | Cargo capacity | Price | Price per SCU capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hull A | 64 | 90 | $1.40 |
| Hull B | 384 | 140 | $0.36 |
| Hull C | 4608 | 500 | $0.11 |
| Hull D | 20736 | 450 | $0.02 |
| Hull E | 98304 | 750 | $0.01 |
With the Hull C being 500 dollars now, i foresee the following price increases.
Hull D will be a minimum of 600, if not 650 at IAE. At 450, it just will cause problems for CIG. Final price will be near 700/750 when released to flight ready.
Hull E can remain 750 for now and still keep a separation but might get bumped to 800. A final price will be no more than 975 to avoid the whole LTI issue since it is a limited ship like the 890.
I see quite a price hike coming for IAE, and I think some people will be pissed…. Honestly, they should have bumped it to 400 and have been done with it. Bumping it to 500 just seems extraordinarily greedy.

I melted my M2, bought back my original $200 Hull-C, got the Hull-C to M2 upgrade for $20 and still have $270 in credits left... oh boy oh boy!!
I kind of envy you all these "cheap" ships from way back when. I can't believe you were able to buy CCUs to the BMM when it was around $250 and the Carrack at $350.
Thankfully I was able to buy some Hull C CCUs from Brictoria, thanks again!, before it went up in price. That way I at least have that stepping stone to CCU to the higher ships.
Could I ask what kind of price increases for in concept ships can be assumed in the future? I read somewhere that the Hull C was expected to go up to 380-420, but what actually happened is something no one guessed based on my internet research.
