He knows you just got a one way ticket to stalag 17

Who is "he"? And why am I going to a stalag and not the gulag?

It's Saturday afternoon here, get on my level.

 

[WarrenPeace]

I needs it, precious...

 

[Halligan]

So far the only thing to happen during the hull sale today is waiting and they removed it from the ship stats page.

Damn these ships look great! Bloody well iconic! Even the Hull A looks really cool, as tiny as it's cargo capacity is.

 

[WarrenPeace]

Me: Hmm... they're pretty, but I think I'll maybe just stick with the Hull B. I don't need another multi-crew trader.

Rum: Is that what you think?

Me: Oh crap.

 

[OldSchoolC]

Picked up the A. Cargo capacity is 1/15 of my explorer aquila, haha, but it looks cool and has LTI. Maybe I'll gift it one day or just take it for a cruise once in awhile. Maybe pirates won't bother with such a tiny hauler.

 

[JacknHoffa]

Hull-E seems to small for what imagined, I wish it was bigger by about 200m at least.

 

[JBWill]

Dat folding animation.

 

[Derkerter]

Should I trade my avenger straight for an A or pit a little and get the B?

Should I trade my avenger straight for an A or pit a little and get the B?

Pretty sure the A will have a MUCH larger cargo capacity than the Avenger. I'm actually holding off on buying anything just yet, because of this bit from the sale page:

PLEASE NOTE: The Hull series measures carrying capacity in Standard Cargo Units, or SCU. The SCU value for previously released ships can be determined by dividing the total capacity by four. The stats page will be updated with proper SCU data shortly.

I want to see that update, to see if they fix the Freelancer's suspected cargo discrepancy and to see how the other ships stack up to the Hulls, before I pull the trigger on any of these. Although buying one is almost guaranteed.

Info below borrowed from the SC sub reddit.

Cargo capacity comparison (in SCU):

-Hull A - 75
-Hull B - 600 (=8 Hull As)
-Hull C - 4,800 (=64 Hull As)
-Hull D - 21,600 (=288 Hull As)
-Hull E - 153,600 (=2,048 Hull As)

Compared to the existing known cargo capacity for released ships.
