I imagine there's probably some economic [considerations as well]: what is [the Hull C] going to do to the economy, because now we're just starting to build our in-game economy?
TL;DRTodd Papy says the Hull C makes little sense yet because short hauls between nearby locations carry little risk, so it waits on a larger universe and docking details, and current priorities are object container streaming and cross-ship systems.
Exactly. And right now it doesn't make much sense with it moving just between, let's say, Olisar and GrimHEX or GrimHEX and Delamar. There's not much risk. There's really no way to get that ship to work with those things. So getting the universe expanded, which is what we're working towards for 3.3 with Hurston on one side of the map and then we've got Crusader on the other side, that to me is like a proper transportation thought. Once we get that working the way that we need it to work and we get the docking aspects, or maybe we ship it with the lower arm not extending so that you can actually land it. It's those type of factors that we need to just sit down and really work out, but with all of our focus being on object container streaming and some of our other ships or some of our global systems that cross multiple ships, those are the priority right now.
