When will the 600i rework happen?

TL;DRNo production work is happening on the 600i rework and it isn't on the 12-to-18-month schedule, though concepts are still valid and they hope an Origin ship makes next year's schedule.

So, we've done the concepts. We've already shown some of that, I believe, last year. Sorry, it kind of blurs a little bit. No production work is currently happening on it. And it's not on our sort of rolling 12 to 18 month schedule at the moment. I think everything we showed in the concept is still valid. I think exterior-wise, pretty happy with where the ship is. It's mainly down to interior layout changes and making a better use of the space that it's got. It's got quite a lot of space, and it's got a fair amount of wasted space. And then also the changes we want to do to make sure it works much better with the different modules and the different layouts that we need.

He covered most of it. I think the only real things to add there is everything we showed with those concept images is pretty much accurate still, big highlights being the Explorer gets a medical bed and the cargo bay of it gets large enough to hold a Nova tank. And why it never seems to happen is that really 600i owners have a functional ship. So when it comes to prioritizing what do we want to work on next, redoing the 600i takes the place of something else that doesn't exist yet. So still super excited to do it. I think it's going to be a big update when it happens, but it's just finding the right time to do it.

I think it will be nice to put a little bit of polish on some of the Origin ships. We've not done an Origin ship for a while as well. It would be nice to give it a little bit of love.

I know we go into our, I think it's our sixth or seventh 2026 schedule meeting next week. And I'm hopeful we're going to get an Origin ship in there.
