When it comes to moving large amounts of cargo after the cargo refactor, the Hull series of ships are going to be critical!
First Look at the Hull A , Star Citizen Cargo Ships coming soon!

- Start date
the Hornet got a cosmetic refresh, I hope my Freelancer gets one too

I wonder if there's a way to retract the cargo section while still loaded with cargo...
I'm liking the design of the Hull A. I hope it continues through the Hull series. They need to do something about the mountains they have dangling from Hull C, D, and E and make it more square too.
Probably in the current state, but once the physical refactor is in, its open and loaded or closed and no cargo.
Considering the cargo refactor and craft with external storage having a loading advantage, I'm looking forward to the Starfarer getting it's interchangeable tanks/cargo pods.
Seems like that hulk will get the best of both worlds with both secure internal and speedy external storage, and maybe get similar capacity to the Hull B or maybe even close to Hull C while still being able to land rather than being specebound by the cargo placement.

While I'm liking the direction that the Hull series is taking so far, seeing the Hull D & E makes me wonder if they will be quite fast when unloaded since their thrusters & Quantum drives will be theoretically based on them having such massive mass to transport. Cut the mass to a small fraction of what it would be while fully loaded but still have the same amount of power to move on hand & that should potentially speed them up. Or am I way off?

Ahem! Legitimate salvaging.
I really like this one but if the cargo capacity is 48 vs a Cutlass Black of 46... 
Really want to like it and since I enjoy floundering about in my Raft with 96 cargo I am sure it will be in my wish list if nothing else than the mechanics of it
Wanted to add this edit: The cargo specs @ RSI are obviously old and not updated https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hull/Hull-A
Sorry about that

Need to watch the video. The cargo capacity looks like 16 per quarter, for a total of 64.I really like this one but if the cargo capacity is 48 vs a Cutlass Black of 46...
Watched it, but to be honest I copied the info without regards from the RSI page.
Not the first time I turned to the RSI specification page for information that turned out to be wrong and outdated
Utmost apologies to anyone who might think I don't like the new girl... I am certainly looking forward to giving a whirl.
Hell to be honest I fell in love with my Raft and lets be honest...its a space brick

Hull A has been released to 3.17 PTU. I was trying to spawn it in the verse -- ASOP terminals and elevators do not work right now due to the backend issues, but I woke up in my StarfarerG left in the middle of space in previous PTU build. I managed to jump to Port Olisar, hoping to spawn Hull at the old-school elevator-less station, only to find out that... PO is invisible due to the streaming issue, another 3.17 problem. I spent some 10-15 min waiting for the game to spawn the station. I would probably wait few more minutes, but... server decided to crash.
The only way to do some test flight was to spawn Hull in Arena Commander.
It's a classic single-seater MISC ship with very cool details, incl. animated main engine propelling nozzle.
Retractable cargo struts are beautifully animated, as expected. I can already imagine models D and E with their massive struts...

By the way, don't you think this series should be called "Expander" rather than "Hull"...?
"Kingston Upon Expander" just wouldn't have the same ring to it...?
Name it "I'm a Grower", because when it's time to get busy, it gets longer & wider for better usage.
