Wir hatten diese gro\u00dfartige Idee, Laserwaffen zu \u00fcbertakten und an Enthusiasten zu verkaufen.... aber das gr\u00f6\u00dfte Darlehen, das die Bank uns geben w\u00fcrde, w\u00fcrde nicht einmal eine MAX. Ich sparte genug zus\u00e4tzliche Creds auf, um mir einen Hull B (statt eines A) zu leisten, da ich wusste, dass es Jahre dauern w\u00fcrde, bis ich ihn wieder auff\u00fcllen konnte. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn, wir hatten eine zweite und dann eine dritte gemietet, bevor das Jahr zu Ende war.

Mit mehr R\u00fcstung und einer wesentlich komplexeren Ladespindel als sein kleineres Geschwisterkind ist der Hull B die ideale Wahl f\u00fcr Kapit\u00e4ne, die genau wissen, was sie B.\" wollen. Mit \u00fcber der dreifachen Ladekapazit\u00e4t eines Freelancer MAX und dem schubgemessenen Motorabschnitt, um eine solche Ladung zu schieben, wird der Hull B keine Rennen gewinnen.... aber er wird mehr Fracht bekommen, wo er effizienter fahren muss als jedes andere Schiff seiner Klasse. Selbstreinigende Scanner-Ports und eine vollst\u00e4ndig modulare Frachtschnittstelle sorgen daf\u00fcr, dass der Turnaround auf dem Planeten einfach ist: Einfach landen, tanken und schon kann es wieder losgehen!\n\n- MISC Kavalkade der Transporte!

Wir sind dabei, das Fahrwerksdesign f\u00fcr den Rumpf B so zu aktualisieren, dass er mit dem unteren Ladeschlitz gef\u00fcllt landen kann.\n\n\"Gibt es Betten? Wie k\u00f6nnen die Module so etwas wie eine Med-Bay haben? Sind sie in der Lage, Langstreckenschiffe, insbesondere A\/B, zu transportieren?\"\nEs gibt Betten, und die gr\u00f6\u00dferen Schiffe haben Platz f\u00fcr mehr medizinische Einrichtungen (f\u00fcr die A und B, denken Sie mehr an einen Notfallkoffer unter dem Sitz.) Sowohl die A als auch die B sind in der Lage, Langstreckenschiffe zu bef\u00f6rdern, und in mancher Hinsicht sind sie sogar besser; sie haben mehr Geschwindigkeit und Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeit f\u00fcr die Durchquerung der gef\u00e4hrlicheren Regionen des Weltraums.\n\n\"Der Rumpf B mit TR8s, w\u00e4hrend diese Motoren physisch kleiner sind als die TR5s der Constellation, w\u00e4re sonst l\u00e4cherlich, es sei denn, alle Schiffe lassen ihre Hauptmaschinen auf ein neues Gr\u00f6\u00dfensystem umstellen.\"\nDenken Sie daran, dass die TR-Bewertung Schub und nicht Gr\u00f6\u00dfe angibt! F\u00fcr die gesamte Rumpfreihe werden besonders effiziente Triebwerke ben\u00f6tigt, da diese erforderlich sein k\u00f6nnen, um die bis zu 16-fache Masse des Schiffes zu bewegen.\n\n\"Die A und B sagen, maximal eine Crew. Aber haben sie nur Platz\/Sitze f\u00fcr einen oder k\u00f6nnte ich einen Kumpel mitbringen?\"\nWir stellen uns mindestens eine Zwei-Satz-Kabine vor, \u00e4hnlich einer modernen Sattelzugmaschine, auf dem Rumpf A und B. Es gibt keinen Platz f\u00fcr mehrere Personen, sich gleichzeitig zu bunkern, aber Sie k\u00f6nnen sicherlich einen Passagier mitnehmen.\n\n\"Wird der Rumpf B st\u00e4rkere Schilde haben als sein Freelancer\/Cutlass-Pendant oder zwischen dem Rumpf A und der Hornisse? Es w\u00e4re sch\u00f6n, ein paar Schl\u00e4ge einstecken zu k\u00f6nnen, bevor es runtergeht.\"\nDer aktuelle Plan sieht vor, dass die Hull-Serie effiziente Schilde f\u00fcr ihre Klasse hat, da ihnen die Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeit anderer Jack of All Trade\"-Schiffe fehlt. Dies kann sich w\u00e4hrend der Spielbalance \u00e4ndern, aber die beabsichtigte Rolle besteht darin, dass die Hull-Serie gut gesch\u00fctzte Transporte sind.... aber auch langsame, leicht zu verfolgende Ziele.\n\n\"Wird die Hull B \u00fcber eine aktualisierte Cargo-\/Fahrspursoftware verf\u00fcgen?\"\nDie Ladungs-\/Handelssoftware wird je nach Schiff skaliert, obwohl sie von der gleichen basierten Anwendung abgeleitet wird. Seien Sie versichert, dass das Frachtsystem f\u00fcr die Organisation des Hull E wesentlich komplexer sein wird als der Hull A!\n\n\"Wenn der Rumpf B leer landet und zusammengezogen\/zusammengeklappt ist, wie soll ich dann die Ladung darauf legen, w\u00e4hrend ich noch auf dem Landeplatz bin? Wird es sich entfalten, w\u00e4hrend es noch geerdet ist?\"\nJa, es wird sich in Segmenten entfalten k\u00f6nnen, um die Ladung am Boden zu verladen.\n\n\"Die Strahlabmessungen des Freelancers und des Entermessers sind gr\u00f6\u00dfer als die des Hull B, also bedeutet das, dass der Hull B durch kleinere Sprungbretter passen k\u00f6nnte als sie es tun?\"\nDas Design f\u00fcr Sprungpunktbegrenzungen befindet sich noch in der Entwicklung, so dass es noch keine endg\u00fcltige Antwort gibt.\n\n\"Muss jeder Arm auf der Spindel gleichzeitig ausgeklappt werden? Kann ein \"B\" zum Beispiel nur den linken und rechten Arm benutzen und den unteren und oberen Teil gefaltet lassen?\"\nDie Spindelarme k\u00f6nnen je nach Aufgabenstellung individuell ausgeklappt werden.","zh_CN":"About the MISC Hull B\n\u201cI know it\u2019s a cliche, but when I started my company I had nothing but the spacesuit on my back.
