1st wave of most PTU's seem to be rather buggy. That's why when I heard about the issue with the 300i not showing up in people's inventory in the Verse, I decided to TEST the hangars & seem to have gotten lucky. So I posted these here for us all to enjoy together as fast as I could.

Thanks for sharing :) I'm not up for porting my account over to the PTU, so I'll have to await it coming to the PU but from what I've seen so far I have the following impressions already...

Good:
  • Dat Moon Roof tho!
  • Actual interior!
  • Bed isn't a cot like the old one! The old one was interesting but Hurrah for Luxurious actual bed!
  • Yay toilet yay!
  • Cargo bay/s?! I have heared there is a smaller front one and a larger back one but have not seen this anywhere, only the back one? And hurrah for a cargo bay on the 350R!
  • I've seen the 350R version has no kitchen or lockers because the living area is shorter, but the floor at the top of the short stairs IS the bed, and you can sit on it like a chair and look out the front window which is friggin' awesome.
Undecided:
  • With the lines and circles of the engine at the back it makes it look like O_O i was like "Thats one angry ass"
  • Used to be able to step out of the old gull door on to the wing which was awesome, doesn't seem that's a possibility anymore?
WUT:
  • No room to shut the toilet door while on it. On the plus side you can buzz the tower while saluting from the can and they'll be able to see what colour the underpants round your ankles are.
Won't be able to fly or go in it yet, but all signs point to a definite improvement as you would expect such an update to be.

As I was waiting to download the 3.5 PTU for wave 1 access, I heard several streamers state that the 300i wasn't showing up in game. Once I was loaded in, I confirmed this, but then decided to TEST that in the Hangers. Here is what I found with what I had available.

Thank you very much for posting these!

I'm kinda disappointed by the new design, too much humpback, too short/fat, not enough agressive boxyness compared to the old one, way overdesigned wings...
But, it's not as bad as I thought from the first few untextured images I saw last year. I'll miss the front side intakes and the nice big detailed engine, but I can live it I guess.
By the time I get back to playing games, I'll get used to it lol

I'm planning on making a short farewell video to the outgoing ship. While I think the new one is much cooler, the old one was my first ship. I saw the original cockpit before the update that's in 3.4.3 now and it was a real treat to finally be able to fly in this ship after years of looking at it in the hanger.
