Yeah, it's the first stage of the ship's development. I'm going to admit, this ship is making me consider melting my 890 Jump and buying the pioneer. I may just keep the 600I as my yacht instead of having the 890J
At 91m it's looking a lot more like a good sized yacht. I would compare the 600i more to the Caterpillar than the Constellation at this point.

Both have roughly the same shields, crew, powerplant, guns, and are much closer in price.

The 600i has luxury, speed, performance gear, exploration module

The Caterpillar has more armor, more module capacity, more cargo, tractor beam utility, and parking sensors. Probably more blade slots too.

Both use fixed thrusters for better maneuverability but the performance will be greater on the lighter hull of the 600i.

The 600i is definitely a sexy ship while the Caterpillar looks like a station extension arm.

One thing to note is they made the title "Initial design Breif" so i think this was Before they made the concept sale and drawings that went into it. So the site might still be right 63m(bleh). As for Cargo space as we all know from the new SCU ship design post you can put more cargo on top of the 36 SCU space.(Exploration module) Just need to put it in the open and if you want to sell it then you have to do it manually or something.(Aka put the boxes in the seat next to you) Who knows though maybe they will change all of the current stats to match what they put in jumpoint.

Well didn't Ben already say the 600i initial size is not going to be enough for what it's intended to carry and it will most likely grow a bit more in size by the time it's getting to the finishing stages.!?

I really didn't want to have her. I tried to convince myself, that this is an
  • ugly,
  • unworthful,
  • bad,
  • dumb,
  • sluggish,
  • boring
piece of white crap! A pile of a shit ship!!

*sigh*

Never had been such bad at a discussion against myself.

Now my Connie has become a 600i explorer.

Such a beauty...

I agree its a thing of beauty and something I plan on utilizing when I just want to strut around and drink 300 year old scotch. Wasn't as interested in the the explore variant as I have the Carrack, but it does make me wonder what to do with the Phoenix. For now I'm keeping it due to its rarity but it seems lacking compared to the 600i.
