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 D; if you\u2019re interested in learning more about the E, please post to this thread.\n\n\u201cWhich Hull would better compliment the operation of an RSI Orion mining platform?\u201d\nA Hull C or larger would be best for dealing with the amount of ore the Orion produces. If you\u2019re mining in a safe area or have a good escort team, the Hull D would be best. If you\u2019re looking to try and escape from scrapes more easily using just the two ships, a Hull C seems preferable.\n\n\u201cDo the Hull ships come with the containers or we have to buy them separately?\u201d\nContainers will be separate; much of the time, they will be loaned to you when you accept a cargo run. You\u2019ll have the option to configure your Hull with different containers for different roles as well.\n\n\u201cHow long has MISC produced the Hull Series? Is it a centuries old model like some of the other ships?\u201d\nWe haven\u2019t issued final lore for this yet, but the assumption in the design was that the Hull series is fairly old, to the point that they (or their similarly-functioned predecessors) have become the standard image of a \u2018space truck\u2019 in the Star Citizen world.\n\n\u201cWhat do the other 4 crew members do, especially the 2 that aren\u2019t on the Hull C?\u201d\nThe Hull D (and E) can be operated solo. On paper, the four other crew positions are for manning the ship\u2019s defensive turrets. Other important roles for Hull crewmen include co-pilot, loadmaster (running the cargo panel) and engineer.\n\n\u201cWould it be feasible to run a Hull D or E as a solo player or would I need to stick with a C?\u201d\nYes! The captain seat will have access to all crew functions, so you are able to fly solo if you so desire. Manning multiple turrets during a firefight will be a challenge, though! More crew (whether they\u2019re NPCs or players) will always be a benefit.\n\n\u201cIs the modality of the Hull Series largely limited to swapping out cargo pods or is there sufficient room on other parts of the ship to include specialized areas?\u201d\nThere will be room for internal options, as intended for most of our larger ships. We\u2019re still working on this system, and will release details in the future (expect to see some of the room options on MISC\u2019s Starfarer first.)\n\n\u201cFor the Hull D\u2026it mentions a military variant. Would that be a choice we could change our Hull D to in the future?\u201d\nYes! The military variant (and others, such as the Hull C Discreet) will be available in the finished game world. As all of these ships are modular, you will be able to equip them on top of your existing Hull pledge if you so desire.\n\n\u201cWill the Hull D need to refuel after every jump or is it a long-haul cargo vessel capable of making several jumps before refueling?\u201d\nThe Hull D will be capable of making multiple jumps before refueling; it will also be capable of in-flight refueling from a Starfarer or similar tanker.\n\n\u201cFor what reasons might someone choose a HULL D over the more maneuverable HULL C or the much more massive HULL E?\u201d\nThe simple answer is that the entire lineup is a sliding scale: as more and more cargo space is added, the speed and maneuverability is compromised. The Hull D is for pilots who want to move a lot of cargo, but aren\u2019t willing to go quite as slowly and methodically as the Hull E will require. While it\u2019s tempting to pick the highest number and decide that\u2019s the best, it\u2019s likely that most independent captains would get more bang for their buck with a smaller ship fully laden rather than struggling to afford as much cargo as it would take to stock a Hull E.","de_DE":"\u00dcber den MISC Hull D\n\"Ich begann meine Karriere als Rumpfsch\u00fctze auf einem R4M Quasar[der milit\u00e4rischen Konversion des MISC Hull D] und leitete anschlie\u00dfend neun Jahre lang eine Hebemannschaft zur Unterst\u00fctzung von Grenzaktionen und Anti-Piraterie-Patrouillen. Ich bin in mehr Kratzer geraten, als ich z\u00e4hlen kann, habe ein Dutzend Raider erschossen und nie eine Palette verloren. Die J\u00e4ger- und Bomberpiloten, mit denen ich zum Offizierstraining ging, m\u00f6gen in die Geschichtsb\u00fccher kommen, aber sie w\u00e4ren ohne die von uns bereitgestellte Lieferkette nicht effektiv. Nicht, dass es einen Wettbewerb gegeben h\u00e4tte: Ich sage dir eins, diese Jungs an der Front machen es mir immer leicht.... unser Kampffernseher w\u00fcrde die H\u00f6lle hei\u00df machen, um sicherzustellen, dass der w\u00f6chentliche Postversand durchkommt.\"\n\n- Oberst Yurg Cathonshew, UEE Milit\u00e4risches Starlift-Kommando\n\n\"Die MISC Hull D: Wie sich die Zivilisation bewegt. Ein gro\u00dfer Sprung von der standardm\u00e4\u00dfigen Hull C-Plattform, der Hull D, ist ein leistungsf\u00e4higes Raumschiff, das galaxienweit eingesetzt wird, um alles von der Terraform-Ausr\u00fcstung bis hin zu Antimaterietorpedos zu transportieren. Als echter Massengutfrachter ist der MISC Hull D Ihre erste L\u00f6sung f\u00fcr den Umgang mit gro\u00dfen Best\u00e4nden (Gr\u00f6\u00dfe oder Menge). Mit voller Besatzungsausstattung f\u00fcr f\u00fcnf und vier feste T\u00fcrmchenpositionen ist die Hull D alles andere als eine sitzende Ente. Zu den Frachtoptionen geh\u00f6ren drei vollwertige Anbauspindeln, die von acht Hochleistungs-Haupttriebwerken angetrieben werden, die in der Lage sind, das Vielfache der Schiffsbasismasse zu bewegen. Bitte wenden Sie sich an Ihren MISC-Vertreter f\u00fcr Leasing und individuelle Firmenkonfigurationen.\"\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 D; wenn Sie daran interessiert sind, mehr \u00fcber den E zu erfahren, schreiben Sie bitte an diesen Thread.\n\n\"Welcher Rumpf w\u00fcrde den Betrieb einer RSI Orion Mining-Plattform besser erg\u00e4nzen?\"\nEin Rumpf C oder gr\u00f6\u00dfer w\u00e4re am besten f\u00fcr den Umgang mit der Menge an Erz, die das Orion produziert. Wenn Sie in einem sicheren Bereich bergbaulich t\u00e4tig sind oder ein gutes Eskorteteam haben, ist der Hull D am besten geeignet. Wenn Sie versuchen wollen, allein mit den beiden Schiffen leichter aus Kratzern zu entkommen, scheint ein Hull C vorzuziehen.\n\n\"Kommen die Hull-Schiffe mit den Containern oder m\u00fcssen wir sie separat kaufen?\"\nContainer werden getrennt sein; die meiste Zeit werden sie Ihnen geliehen, wenn Sie einen Frachtflug annehmen. Sie haben die M\u00f6glichkeit, Ihren Rumpf mit verschiedenen Containern f\u00fcr verschiedene Rollen zu konfigurieren.\n\n\"Wie lange hat MISC die Hull Series produziert? Ist es ein jahrhundertealtes Modell wie einige der anderen Schiffe?\"\nWir haben daf\u00fcr noch keine endg\u00fcltige \u00dcberlieferung herausgegeben, aber die Annahme im Design war, dass die Hull-Serie ziemlich alt ist, so dass sie (oder ihre \u00e4hnlich funktionierenden Vorg\u00e4nger) zum Standardbild eines \"Raumschiffs\" in der Star Citizen-Welt geworden sind.\n\n\"Was machen die anderen 4 Besatzungsmitglieder, besonders die 2, die nicht auf der Hull C sind?\"\nDer Rumpf D (und E) kann einzeln betrieben werden. Auf dem Papier sind die vier anderen Besatzungspositionen f\u00fcr die Besatzung der Verteidigungst\u00fcrme des Schiffes. Weitere wichtige Rollen f\u00fcr die Rumpfbesatzung sind Co-Pilot, Lademeister (der das Ladepanel bedient) und Ingenieur.\n\n\"W\u00e4re es m\u00f6glich, einen Hull D oder E als Solospieler zu betreiben, oder m\u00fcsste ich bei einem C bleiben?\"\nJa! Der Kapit\u00e4nssitz hat Zugang zu allen Crewfunktionen, so dass Sie auf Wunsch auch alleine fliegen k\u00f6nnen. Das Besetzen mehrerer T\u00fcrme w\u00e4hrend eines Feuerwehreinsatzes wird jedoch eine Herausforderung sein! Mehr Crew (ob NSCs oder Spieler) wird immer von Vorteil sein.\n\n\"Beschr\u00e4nkt sich die Modalit\u00e4t der Hull Series weitgehend auf den Austausch von Ladungsbeh\u00e4ltern oder gibt es gen\u00fcgend Platz auf anderen Teilen des Schiffes, um spezielle Bereiche einzubinden?\"\nEs wird Platz f\u00fcr interne Optionen geben, wie es f\u00fcr die meisten unserer gr\u00f6\u00dferen Schiffe vorgesehen ist. Wir arbeiten noch an diesem System und werden in Zukunft Details ver\u00f6ffentlichen (erwarten Sie zuerst einige der Raumoptionen f\u00fcr MISC's Starfarer.)\n\n\"F\u00fcr die Hull D... erw\u00e4hnt sie eine milit\u00e4rische Variante. W\u00e4re das eine Option, auf die wir in Zukunft unsere Hull D \u00e4ndern k\u00f6nnten?\"\nJa! Die milit\u00e4rische Variante (und andere, wie z.B. der Hull C Discreet) wird in der fertigen Spielwelt verf\u00fcgbar sein. Da alle diese Schiffe modular sind, k\u00f6nnen Sie sie auf Wunsch zus\u00e4tzlich zu Ihrem bestehenden Rumpfversprechen ausr\u00fcsten.\n\n\"Muss der Rumpf D nach jedem Sprung auftanken oder ist es ein Langstrecken-Frachtschiff, das in der Lage ist, vor dem Tanken mehrere Spr\u00fcnge zu machen?\"\nDie Hull D wird in der Lage sein, vor dem Betanken mehrere Spr\u00fcnge zu machen; sie wird auch in der Lage sein, w\u00e4hrend des Fluges von einem Starfarer oder \u00e4hnlichen Tanker aus zu betanken.\n\n\"Aus welchen Gr\u00fcnden k\u00f6nnte jemand einen HULL D dem wendigeren HULL C oder dem viel massiveren HULL E vorziehen?\"\nDie einfache Antwort ist, dass das gesamte Angebot eine gleitende Skala ist: Da immer mehr Laderaum hinzugef\u00fcgt wird, sind Geschwindigkeit und Man\u00f6vrierf\u00e4higkeit beeintr\u00e4chtigt. Der Hull D ist f\u00fcr Piloten, die viel Fracht bewegen wollen, aber nicht bereit sind, ganz so langsam und methodisch zu fahren, wie es der Hull E erfordert. W\u00e4hrend es verlockend ist, die h\u00f6chste Zahl auszuw\u00e4hlen und zu entscheiden, dass es das Beste ist, ist es wahrscheinlich, dass die meisten unabh\u00e4ngigen Kapit\u00e4ne mehr Knall f\u00fcr ihren Dollar mit einem kleineren Schiff erhalten w\u00fcrden, das voll beladen ist, anstatt zu k\u00e4mpfen, um so viel Ladung zu leisten, wie es nehmen w\u00fcrde, um einen Rumpf E auf Lager zu halten.","zh_CN":"About the MISC Hull D\n\u201cI started my career as hull gunner on an R4M Quasar [the military conversion of the MISC Hull D] and went on to command a lifter crew for nine years of supporting border actions and anti-piracy patrols.
