The video explores the MISC Hull D, a planned capital cargo hauler in Star Citizen, highlighting its impressive cargo capacity and design intended for transporting goods and potentially smaller ships. While still in development, the Hull D is expected to significantly enhance cargo hauling capabilities in the game, attracting players interested in freight transport.
The video discusses the MISC Hull D, a planned capital cargo hauler in Star Citizen, which is designed to carry significantly more freight than any current in-game options. Marketed as a heavy freight ship, the Hull D is not the largest in the series but is still considered a massive cargo hauler. The video, part of the Drydock series, explores the ship’s background, attributes, and potential gameplay implications, while also acknowledging that much of the information is speculative since the ship is not yet available in the game.
The Hull D was first announced in April 2015 and is part of the wider Hull series, which includes the Hull A, Hull C, and the upcoming Hull E. The Hull D is particularly popular among players due to its high cargo capacity, making it a staple choice for cargo hauling in the game universe. The ship’s design allows for the attachment of cargo containers, and there are suggestions that it could also transport smaller ships or fighters, although it is primarily intended for cargo transport in-flight.
In terms of specifications, the Hull D is expected to measure 209 meters in length, 70 meters in width, and 70 meters in height, with a total mass of approximately 1,216 tons. It is designed to be powered by a capital power plant and features multiple thrusters for maneuvering. The ship is also equipped with several remote turrets for defense, although the exact placement of these turrets is still uncertain. The crew requirements range from a minimum of three to a maximum of five, with the ship likely being operable by solo players.
The primary gameplay for the Hull D revolves around cargo hauling, which is expected to be a profitable venture due to its substantial cargo capacity—over 20,000 SCU. This makes it a highly effective option for transporting large quantities of goods across space, especially to spaceborne destinations. The video also speculates that the Hull D could serve other purposes, such as moving vehicles or items that can be attached to its cargo grid, further expanding its utility in the game.
Overall, the Hull D represents a significant step up in cargo hauling capabilities within Star Citizen. While the exact details and functionalities may evolve as development continues, the ship is anticipated to become a central component for players focused on cargo transport.
