Now that the Origin 350R is getting significantly bigger, could you tell us what kind of racing it is primarily designed for? Will it be able to compete on the same tracks as the MISC Razor and M50, or is it designed for a different kind of racing?
TL;DRThe ship is only slightly larger, so its racing role is unchanged: still among the fastest ships thanks to its twin engines, though somewhat less maneuverable than the Razor and M50.
So I don't know exactly what indicated that it was going to be significantly larger, but strange enough, I was just looking at it in our game dev stream and it's actually not that much larger. So as far as the rear wing profile and the length and just its overall cross section size, it's only maybe a meter larger in each of those axes. So it should fulfill exactly the same role as it did. It'll still be one of our fastest ships that are in the game because of its twin engine setup. So nothing about it should change as far as racing is concerned. What I will say is that the perception of it being larger might be because the body itself has been tweaked in the horizontal range. So kind of like the TARDIS. It's a little bigger on the inside. So there's a lot more room to put components. There's a place to properly put a bed rather than the kind of camping fold-out accessory that it had before. But overall, it will not change as far as the spaces it'll fit in.
And as far as its racing role, which is primarily what the question was about, how it compares to the MISC Razor and the M50, we anticipate it'll have many of the same strengths and weaknesses that they do now.
Right. So while it is larger than those two ships, it will suffer a little bit from the maneuverability as compared to those ships, but it will still be the fastest ship in the fleet.
