We\u2019re taking questions and answers on individual MISC Hulls that will appear in this space over the next week. Today\u2019s questions focus on the Hull A; if you\u2019re interested in learning more about the B, C, D or E, please post to this thread.\n\n\u201cCan containers loaded into a ship\u2019s hull be used as external containers on other ships?\u201d \u2013 Spacehobo\nYes! Containers in Star Citizen\u2019s universe are fully standardized, meaning that the attach points found on the Hull series are also present on everything from the Aurora Clipper to the Bengal carrier!\n\n\u201cInstead of having many small containers in one section, will there be a possibility to attach one large container which fits into the same said section?\u201d \u2013 Joevar\nYes! While smaller cargo boxes are pictured throughout the promotional images, the Hull series will be able to carry any type of container that \u2018fits\u2019 in the space allotted.\n\n\u201cWill the Hulls (or at least the Hull A) be flying in AC before CCUs or whatever they\u2019re turning into in the future goes away forever?\u201d \u2013 Valensiakol\nYes, the CCU process will apply to the Hull A once it is available in-engine. If you pick up a Hull A today and would prefer to upgrade to a Hull B, C, D or even E you\u2019ll have that option in the future!\n\n\u201cWill all or some of the Hull Series come with a jump drive as standard equipment?\u201d \u2013 queetz\nJump drives are standard equipment for all Hull series ships, from the A to the E.\n\n\u201cCan the hull ships carry smaller starfighters (packed or configured as cargo) such as the Super Hornet?\u201d \u2013 queetz\nYes! Spacecraft can be broken down into their component parts for transport, or carried in their completed forms aboard larger Hulls. There is also a \u2018midget fighter attachment\u2019 being developed for the Hull E which will allow it to drop and recover escort fighters in exchange for cargo space.\n\n\u201cHow large are the manned cabs?

Morgen werden wir den Hull B, Mittwoch den Hull C, Donnerstag den Hull D und Freitag den Hull E hervorheben. Lassen Sie uns in den Kommentaren unten wissen, ob dies hilfreich ist, und wir werden \u00e4hnliche Beitr\u00e4ge f\u00fcr zuk\u00fcnftige Konzeptverk\u00e4ufe betrachten.\n\n\u00dcber den MISC Hull A\n\"Ich kaufte meinen ersten[Rumpf] A gebraucht, als ich anfing.... ihr Vorbesitzer hatte sie SNUGBUG genannt und versuchte, mir etwas anderes auszudenken, der Name blieb h\u00e4ngen. Snugbug und ich hatten eine sch\u00f6ne Zeit. Ich fing an, kurze L\u00e4ufe zu fliegen; von Boden zu Boden, von Sternenseite zu Boden, um immer wieder Kisten von den Massenfrachtern abzuholen, um mir einen Namen zu machen. Ich habe mehr Treibstoff verbraucht, als ich je bei Flugdauer-Missionen hatte! Als ich eine Gesellenschlepperbewertung wert war, war Snugbug gut genug ausgestattet, um den gelegentlichen Piraten abzuwehren, und ich fing an, alles zu bewegen, was ich system\u00fcbergreifend konnte, um eine \"Glaubw\u00fcrdigkeit\" zu schaffen. Das Seltsamste, was ich je verschickt habe? Es war Vieh, das auf Terra angebaut wurde... diese seltsamen w\u00fcrfelf\u00f6rmigen H\u00fchner. Sah aus wie fleischige Rechtecke. Ich musste ein spezielles Transportmodul haben, damit sie w\u00e4hrend des Fluges Vakuum atmen konnten. Ich mache keine Witze. So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen, aber die Banu haben sie aufgegessen. Buchst\u00e4blich.\"\n\n- Captain Ike Chamner, Freiverk\u00e4ufer\n\nWillst du gro\u00df denken? Beginnen Sie klein, mit dem MISC Hull A. Mit klassischen, stromlinienf\u00f6rmigen Linien und einer einmodigen Transportspindel ist der MISC Hull A der ideale Satellit f\u00fcr alles, vom Kurzstreckentransport bis hin zu Handelsverbindungen mit mehreren Systemen. Mit der h\u00f6chsten Geschwindigkeit und Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeit der Hull-Serie ist der Hull A die perfekte Plattform, um Ihre kaufm\u00e4nnischen Tr\u00e4ume zu verwirklichen. Mit leistungsstarken Motoren, einer defensiven Bugbatterie und einem industrietauglichen R\u00fcckgrat, das in der Lage ist, jede mittelgro\u00dfe Ladungsbefestigung zu montieren, ist die Hull A ein Schiff, das so hart arbeitet wie Sie.\n\n- MISC Kavalkade der Transporte! Brosch\u00fcre, 2945\n\nBacker Frage und Antwort\nAchtung B\u00fcrger! Wir beantworten Fragen und Antworten zu einzelnen MISC-R\u00fcmpfen, die in der n\u00e4chsten Woche in diesem Bereich erscheinen werden. Die heutigen Fragen konzentrieren sich auf den Rumpf A; wenn Sie daran interessiert sind, mehr \u00fcber den B, C, D oder E zu erfahren, schreiben Sie bitte an diesen Thread.\n\n\"K\u00f6nnen Container, die in einen Schiffsrumpf geladen werden, als externe Container auf anderen Schiffen verwendet werden?\" - Spacehobo\nJa! Die Container im Star Citizen's Universum sind vollst\u00e4ndig standardisiert, was bedeutet, dass die Befestigungspunkte der Hull-Serie auch auf allem vorhanden sind, vom Aurora Clipper bis zum Bengaltr\u00e4ger!\n\n\"Anstatt viele kleine Beh\u00e4lter in einem Abschnitt zu haben, gibt es die M\u00f6glichkeit, einen gro\u00dfen Beh\u00e4lter anzubringen, der in den gleichen Abschnitt passt?\" - Joevar\nJa! W\u00e4hrend kleinere Lader\u00e4ume in den Werbebildern abgebildet sind, kann die Hull-Serie jede Art von Container transportieren, der in den zugewiesenen Raum passt.\n\n\"Werden die Hulls (oder zumindest die Hull A) in AC fliegen, bevor die CCUs oder was auch immer sie in der Zukunft werden, f\u00fcr immer verschwinden?\" - Valensiakol\nJa, der CCU-Prozess gilt f\u00fcr den Rumpf A, sobald er im Motor verf\u00fcgbar ist. Wenn Sie heute einen Hull A kaufen und lieber auf einen Hull B, C, D oder sogar E upgraden m\u00f6chten, haben Sie diese M\u00f6glichkeit in der Zukunft!\n\n\"Werden alle oder einige der Hull Series serienm\u00e4\u00dfig mit einem Sprungantrieb ausgestattet sein?\" - queetz\nSprungantriebe geh\u00f6ren zur Standardausr\u00fcstung aller Schiffe der Hull-Serie, von A bis E.\n\n\"K\u00f6nnen die Rumpfschiffe kleinere Sternenj\u00e4ger (verpackt oder als Fracht konfiguriert) wie die Super Hornet mitnehmen?\" - queetz\nJa! Raumfahrzeuge k\u00f6nnen f\u00fcr den Transport in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt oder in ihren ausgef\u00fcllten Formularen an Bord gr\u00f6\u00dferer R\u00fcmpfe mitgef\u00fchrt werden. F\u00fcr den Hull E wird auch ein \"Zwergenj\u00e4geraufsatz\" entwickelt, der es ihm erm\u00f6glichen wird, Begleitj\u00e4ger im Austausch f\u00fcr den Laderaum fallen zu lassen und zu bergen.\n\n\"Wie gro\u00df sind die bemannten Taxis? Gibt es mehrere Zimmer\/Bereiche wie Badezimmer, Lebensmittelvorbereitung und Schlafr\u00e4ume?\" - Der Bevrwolf\nDie bemannten Kabinen unterscheiden sich je nach Schiff erheblich, obwohl sie alle eine Form des \"Standard-Luxus\" haben. Der Rumpf A ist eher wie ein Traktoranh\u00e4nger mit einem kleinen Schwellenbereich, w\u00e4hrend der Rumpf D oder E gro\u00df genug ist, um mehrere Decks zu haben.\n\n\"Warum unterscheidet sich die \u00c4sthetik f\u00fcr A und B, n\u00e4mlich die Farben, von den anderen? Es sieht so aus, als k\u00f6nnten es zwei getrennte MISC-Schiffe sein.\" - Icematt12\nAus gestalterischer Sicht wollten wir, dass sich das 'B' und 'E' wie Upgrades anf\u00fchlen, die Sie mit dem 'A' und 'D' verdienen k\u00f6nnen, mit dem 'C' als einzigartigem zentralen Design. Es ist zu erwarten, dass dieses Designkonzept mehr zum Ausdruck kommt, wenn das Schiff in den Motor einf\u00e4hrt.\n\n\"Nach der Enth\u00fcllung der Rumpfserie habe ich gesehen, wie einige Spieler behaupteten, sie h\u00e4tten einen Rumpf A\/B bekommen, damit sie Waren von der Umlaufbahn zur Oberfl\u00e4che bef\u00f6rdern k\u00f6nnen. Wird es Spielern erlaubt sein, das zu tun, oder wird dies automatisiert (vielleicht mit KI-Drohnen oder NPCs), ohne dass der Spieler involviert ist?\" - WalBao\nDie Spieler werden in der Lage sein, diese Art von Mission zu erf\u00fcllen; unser Gedanke ist, dass es ein guter \"erster Schritt in das Szenario \"Vers\" f\u00fcr neue Spieler w\u00e4re. F\u00fcr Spieler mit gr\u00f6\u00dferen Schiffen wird es jedoch nicht erforderlich sein: Es wird immer automatisierte NSCs geben, die die Hull C, D und E im Orbit entladen k\u00f6nnen.\n\n\"Ich w\u00fcrde mich auch freuen zu wissen, ob Sie planen, ein APP f\u00fcr H\u00e4ndler im Spiel freizugeben, um ihre Be- und Entladungen von Frachtcontainern entlang der verschiedenen H\u00e4fen, die sie auf ihrer Gesch\u00e4ftsreise erreichen werden, gut zu organisieren.\" - Captain B'tak\nJa! Zane Bien hat mit der Entwicklung der \"Cargo Control\"-Bildschirme begonnen, die den Handelskapit\u00e4nen die volle Kontrolle \u00fcber den Inhalt ihrer Ladung erm\u00f6glichen. Diese wird auf allen Transportschiffen verf\u00fcgbar sein, obwohl sie f\u00fcr die Hull-Serie besonders n\u00fctzlich sein sollte.\n\n\"Wenn Sie die Frachtcontainer abschie\u00dfen, spucken sie dann Fracht in den Weltraum, wenn sie brechen? Wenn du auf die Racks zielst, kannst du sie vom Schiff l\u00f6sen, w\u00e4hrend es sich bewegt?\" - Marcus Murphy\nWir sind uns bewusst, dass die \"Spindel\" wie der Schwachpunkt der Hull-Serie aussieht, beabsichtigen aber nicht, dass dies in die Spielmechanik \u00fcbertragen wird. Die Frachtcontainer werden vollst\u00e4ndig abgeschirmt sein und selbst einen Panzerwert haben; diejenigen, die zus\u00e4tzlichen Schutz w\u00fcnschen, k\u00f6nnen Container verwenden, die R\u00fcstungen f\u00fcr den Weltraum handeln.
