I seriously doubt the loading and unloading will be visual any time soon. NPC can't cross the interface between the ground and a ship. Or even from one area to the next.

I also thought we would have a very lited number of sizes. How are, for example, the Hull-C+ going to load up with cargo from the surface, or offload to the surface. The small boxes have to be loaded up into the big boxes, in space? The big boxes have to be broken down for delivery? That...

When talking about the 600i rework they mentioned moving the module segment. I doubt the Connie will have actual modules, on the otherhand.

The 600i is modular, we should be able to, eventually, pick up the Exploration module for the Touring version and vice versa. The Constellation is also supposed to have some modular capability, what that actually will look like is anyone's guess. In that case the Phoenix might make a reasonable...

All ships with hangars, not yet in game, have "standard" size hangars. The Odyssey and the Merchantman can move any size 2 or smaller ship in their hangar. Since the Endeavor can move two Cutlasses in its hangar it should have pads that can move at least two carrier fighters. So, yes, you have...

I asked what your primary goal was. The Starliner is the top end passenger transport. If passenger transport is your primary goal, then you will want lower tier passenger transport to go with the Starliner. Perhaps a Connie Phoenix or 600i. Solve your primary goal first. I'll bet there are...

None are "Passenger Transport." Your primary concern is Passenger transport. They don't do that. Sure they do other things, but that isn't your primary use case.

None of the ships you mentioned, as replacing your Odyssey, take you to that goal. It might be a good idea to hold where you are until ships show up that fill that goal.

The big question is what your intended game play is?

They did tell us small ships won't be able to transit larger systems. Given the concept of "home base," operating in a system, other than your home, is not the same as going to a system.

I personally wish they woild just finish the renderer, and not touch it, other than bug fixes. Then they could actually build the final shaders for things.

We were told small jump points were being reconsidered. A Freelancer, in any case, is a medium ship, not a small ship. Providing the fan base doesn't explode and funding dries up, CIG has no financial incentive to allow small ships to be capable of interstellar operations.

Or dying of old age. :) Tech wise, Star Citizen is behind the times already. I really don't see a launch, or even Beta in time for SC to still be relevant in the industry.

It is a question of expectations. As for game loop, Bounty Hunters are in business because people with a price on their head tend to run.

I want a Pegasus.

When I think "best damn space sim ever" I expect to be travelling the stars, not making the shuttle run from Phoebus to Europa.

25 years from now I am unlikely to care. Given the rate of technological advancement, CIG is likely to be a distant memory for most of us, 25 years from now. Light haulers depends on what you classify as light. Smaller than a Cutlass is likely to be restricted to in system due to fuel range...

The Red is listed as the starter ship for the Medical profession. Unlike an Aurora, or other single person ship, the Red can stabilize a patient. The Red has a crew of 2 and a Medium Quantum fuel tank and drive, making it one of the few profession starter ships with an, expected, interstellar...

@Thalstan Thanks for your thoughts. They make for an interesting discussion. Vanguards are supposed to have a multi-jump range. So medium drives and medium tanks are implied to be intersystem, not just intrasystem. The Hull-C is a large, not capital ship. I doubt it will have range longer...

I don't think we will see Bengals in that role. Krakens, yes. Liberators, yes. Something like but bigger than the Liberator, sure. But that isn't the way people play now, nor is it the kind of thing we hear in the various forums.
