Based on the Design Language of the x85 and the 600i, Origin is beautiful. What they do with the 3xx Series will be interesting.

To the Owl - Your shitposting milestone is an inspiration to us all. I congratulate you, sir.
To the 600i - meh. No utility. No cargo. No Snub. No rover (unless you want to carry no cargo at all). It's like an overpriced Phoenix / Aquila hybrid without any of the reasons that I bought a Phoenix and an Aquila in the first place. I think I need to see it a little farther into development before I can determine whether or not it's worth it. Add a snub, rover, science station, and cargo space sufficient for a rover + groceries, and I'll consider calling one home. Next concept sale, please.

May not be the most functional or practical ship but 600i is top 3 for sexiest ship hands down possibly #1. So far that is.....
Keep the BMM imo. I think when it actually gets made it'll be a $500-$600 ship.

The engine sizes are a little concerning as are the shield sizes. I am assuming this is because the 600 is mapped out according to the new system while the older ships aren't? Wish they would update that ship spec page...
(4) TR2 Engines? (same size as thrusters)
The Connie has (4) TR5s and weighs a hell of a lot less.
It is going to be hard to imagine how the 600i could be faster than a connie, even if the connie has (4) TR2 engines as well.

Everything is subject to change, either the ships weight will go down and the engines up, or the connies weight up and the engines down...
...or, Origins engine tech is jsut that good they can fit a very powerful engine in to a small space. If thats the case, I gotta find a wrecked 600 and strap its engines onto my Taurus.
Damn it I like the 600 a lot, well done CIG it's a stunner, but just can't justify it this time, it costs what my next car will cost.
My current car cost $193.

I feel exactly the same(about Blind Owl and the 600), which is why I just CCUed my Prowler to a 600. That makes 5 exploration ships! It also makes me an idiot! Actually, I might be a little hard on myself. The Prowler is sexy as all hell, but when push comes to shove, it's a drop ship. A one trick pony. That 600 has a pool table!
Well, I bought the twofer pack of 600's...
But it didn't just didn't feel right.
So I melted it, a couple other ships, and bought the Battle Pack: so much swag. I then upgraded a few ships, and turned a BMM into a 600i.
Now, instead of a whole bunch of big ships that I'll have a hard time using, I have a whole bunch of small ships that I'll have a hard time using. Yay Shiponomics!

Cargo Capacity is minimal, according to what was posted. The new Cutlass Black carries more. The Andromeda (and Phoenix if you want to stay luxury) pack a bigger punch, and carry more.
It'll be all about the speed and maneuverability. Thats Origin.
Surprised the Aurora CL has more cargo space than the Touring 600i though...

The stupid thing is 3.0 and updating some webpages to have accurate ship stats is not related, why wait for 3.0 for that?

Wouldn't the Starfarer be the best ship to haul beer? It was suggested I get one to haul Rum. :)

Quad turbo's and NOS maybe ?
But seriously.... they maybe some kind of small high output engine that can be throttled back for fuel economy / range.
Good question for the Q&A
This looks like it will be faster than the connie. Brochure says the highest speed in it's class
Haha, not after buying that battle pack. Ugh.
