Is the Starfarer only used for hauling fuel, or can you switch it out for more physical storage?

We did initially expect that there would be different pods underneath instead of the fuel pods. We have not built them yet, but I think definitely that is something we will revisit down the line. And in fact, I'm familiar with another configuration of the Starfarer we're talking about. So there's more to Starfarer.

I was speaking with Will Maiden, who's one of the designers in the UK. One of the things he's working on specifically is the cargo system, and he was asking about the Starfarer and being able to swap that stuff out. So not necessarily something you're going to see in 3.0 or anything, but it's definitely something that's on our minds.

One thing that we're finding a lot with ships, and it's one of the reasons why we don't do so many variants when we kick off a ship anymore, is that as we build out things like planets and solar systems and so on, we're finding more and more situations where we say, oh, wait, we need a ship that does this. And then we go back and say, hey, the Starfarer could be modified in this way. Or, oh, the Sabre could have this change. So yeah, you'll see a lot more of that variance for the purpose we've discovered rather than the purpose we imagined, which is great.
