Org funded Hull E [Fully funded!!!]

[Gearen]

But does you know already the size difference between the E and the D? maybe two D aren't better than a E......

 

[Montoya]

A lot of people want the D, but they feel that society will think differently about them.

I want you guys to know that nobody here cares if you want the D or not. What we care about it how happy you are with what life has given you!

Every day is a gift, that is why we call it the present!

This is how you know when he's switched to the hard stuff.

I think we'll end up sharing a LOT of responsibility for the Hull E when we get it in the PU. It'll need to be used for major commodity runs under ECON, and for supply runs under LOGI.

Any thoughts on this?

Just to make numbers.... how much beer fits in a Hull E?

Using the latest TEST data, not enough.

 

[thanatos73]

Why not just go for the Double D?

 

[RipVanDan]

A for effort. I say we get a whole bunch of A's space duct tape them together and have the Hull A Super Structure.

 

[thanatos73]

Our Hull A's will blot out a SUPER NOVA!!!!!

 

[AntiSqueaker]

I suggest we wait and reevaluate. They have termed the D and E as "tanker" and "super tanker", this could mean that they are specifically focused, like the starfarer, on liquid fuel hauling. If they are specially focused on fuel, we should try hard to get a Hull C in there somewhere. Otherwise, bigger is better.

I think that was more in reference to "holy donkey balls, its a giant fucking cargo ship, this motherfucking vessel will carry enough kegs to get even the rowdiest TESTFEST (side note we need to organize a TESTFEST when the PU is out) blackout drunk and have enough leftover for Beer and Eggs at 1pm the next day, cooked by Squeaky because he makes really good Eggs and Bacon when he's hungover. Remind me to buy more coffee too, I'm almost out. What was I talking about? Oh yeah the Hull D+E. I think they're big cargo ships."

As opposed to an "actual tanker" (although they might have tanker modules you can plug in instead of solid cargo ones, who knows?

At the risk of double posting- this is why LTI is great. Assuming that we lose it, it's not an irreparable loss. You can always get more cargo.

But yes, this is probably one of the ships thats not going to be lended out willy nilly like a Starfarer or Constellation. It's a big, expensive, and most likely, very vulnerable ship. Probably only going to be used for the biggest and most well defended trade/transport runs, since it's going to be the most cargo you can probably carry in game. Probably only going to be used for bulk shipping of ore, fuel, ammunition, maybe even ship hulls if that's allowed. For your average player, a Hull C will probably be MORE than sufficient for trading runs.

 

[Hitsugan]

In this case I agree LTI is great. Just not as useful for an Aurora.

They also mention the entire Hull series is modularized and flexible. I think it certainly will have the capacity to carry fluid cargoes, but they just pulled out the super tanker because it's pretty much the largest cargo vessel in the world.

If need be, I can take care of all our org's D's

Hello TESTies!

Pricing for the Hull series of haulers has been announced:

• Hull A - $60 USD
• Hull B - $90 USD
• Hull C - $200 USD
• Hull D - $350 USD
• Hull E - $550 USD

Logistics will be an important money maker early in the game, while it is not critical to us as an org, it would be nice to have the resources we need ready to go from day 1.

As I always, if you are a starving student or already have already spent more money than your wife knows on this game, DO NOT DONATE TO THIS DRIVE!

We will aim for a Hull E, if by Friday we are below $550, we will get the nearest Hull version to what ever was raised.

If we are over $550, we get the E, then get the which ever other Hull the remaining funds allow.

Eg $610 raised, we get the E and A.
$640 raised, we get the E and B etc

Donation drive is live at https://testsquadron.com/goals/misc-hull-variants-e-fund-org-hangar.6/

Insert jokes about getting the D below.

INSTRUCTIONS NOT CLEAR SPENT all FOOD MONEY ON SHIPS

 

[TypeO]

I donated just not to receive the D.

 

[Black Sunder]

Just 95 more dollars left to go in Montoyas "Get wife new shoes and beer" fund.

What? You didn't really think you were donating toward an org ship did you?

 

[Doozie]

Donated! That D better have astroglide!

 

[deathstrike]

I kicked in a few bucks as I'm going for a C/D myself. Please name the ship after something fluffy :)
