This hidden spot can be found at every station with a cargo deck. It's been there since cargo decks were introduced just not many people knew about them. Another great vid.
This was a great way to see this very cool ship and learn its layout and functions before its in the PU. Seems like a huge leap in gameplay for cargo hauling, piracy and station interaction. Can't wait to see these big haulers flying all over!
the doors are open by default on the docking ports because otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the ship, since CIG somehow managed to block the door access panels to ships with the docking collar itself which became first apparent with the 890j and in good old CIG fashion they just stuck with the temporary fix since then.
I wish they would go back to the "inner thought"/mobi'glass opens the doors. Used to be able to just look at the door and command it open. Pressing the button seems so 2022 haha
Thanks for the vid. Ya, currently you can only trade at the major planetary stations with a Hull C. If the RAFT's containers could be detached then you could transfer the cargo but that doesn't seem to be the case. ♥
I'd like them to tell us what they wanted tested. If its the new system of loading a hull C, likely should make it so all the stations buy things, no matter the demand, so we can try out the cargo system.
I really like the Hull C, but yeah it's pretty buggy/wonky atm, I trust most of that will be cleared up in short order though, the handful of people I've seen yelling about it being so bad they're going to melt it really confuse me... It's going to get better. Main things I don't like that aren't bugs are the ladder to the living area, how are you meant to move stuff or injured people up/down that? A small elevator next to it would be very useful. And the rear airlock seems to be set up like an interior door, it opens on approach for everyone, making it a security nightmare, and safety once depressurization is added. And the only storage I've found are the 4 bumps in the room before the shower/toilet, odd spot. And no weapon lockers, yeah it's not a military ship, but you might want some to repel boarders. Afaik you can only buy and sell with the C at stations orbiting planets, aka Everus Harbor. Seraphim, Baijini Point & Port Tressler.
I' have been trying the ship out but thus far have only managed to get cargo loaded once and have never managed to get it unloaded. But that is expected early on. I expect it to wasted time in the PU unless CIG adds measures against the many ways other players can use to simply prevent anyone from effectively using the Hull C. When the ship is spawned at a docking port the port doors and the ship door are wide open for anyone camping out in the port to board the ship at their leisure while the owner and crew use the elevator to get to the port. I'd recommend that before the owner spawns the ship for there to be at least one crew member at both docking ports to try to prevent and campers from entering the ship, or at least to have the owner store the ship if a thug does run onto the ship. My hope is that anyone who wants to troll cannot just fly into the loading/unloading areas in their tiny ships and cause the loading/unloading process to come to a halt because of movement in the area. I also predict that some trolls will be camping the 4 stations they already know are the only trading stations that accommodate the Hull C will be camping with one goal in mind, to ram the Hull C after it is loaded to make as much of a loss to the ship owner as possible. It will happen regardless of crew size and the number of escorts. Plus, only one of the ship's turrets can be used at a time. It is a sitting duck for 10 minutes at a time, at only 4 possible locations in Stanton, what can go wrong lol?
I would have thought that they let you load from the docking ports, and have this "in space loading" area only on stations that have no docking capability.
Hi. Seraphim station has a jail. At least that's what I would call it. It is at the far end of the station with lots of landing pads and guns. I tried to land on one of the pads and was shot down and sent to prison for trespassing. There appears to be an open door near the pads. I was wondering if you and your crew could get inside and show us what's in there? Thanks!
I wonder...if they just placed Port Olisar at a random point far away from any planets or space stations and removed any quantum markers around it or the ability to find it on the starmap, how long it would take players to stumble across it.
Was it ever figured out if anyone other than the co-pilot had access to the 2 remote turrets? Because it seems a little odd to give both turrets to one seat only.
It appears that only the copilot has them yeah - kinda sucks as there is the captain seat there just doing nothing - would have been cool to have them spread to one for each seat
Theres a computer component access panel on the bridge left to the door so the idea is probably that these remote turrets will either optionally or by default be automated with server blades in the future with the co-pilot being able to access one of them if needed. Still a very odd design choice. The main issue I see with the turrets is the lack of the rear bottom one seen in the concept arts though causing massive blindspots. Since these are remote and thus take up very little room I don't see why it was removed in production.
The rear turret is just above an open compartiment so was probably imagined as manned but with MISC, it woould have proteubed inside the corridor and probably blocked it.
definitely should let you trade at all space stations. I wonder if you can at refineries? Also need to make the RAFT have a grid now that the tech is in. Raft would be sweet if it could secure/swing load vehicles at the back too but that's wishful.
In the PU spent all my cash on cargo, went to the light cube as instructed , then nothing, didnt load the hull C. Unable to leave the area or will lose the unclaimed cargo, unable to dock as still in the area.
Think we need another system for this ship to be viable. The system already does not have enough goods that are valuable. The larger ships seem ok for the system as is. But the hull c seems too large for what there is. Hope they can make it a viable path eventually. Most smaller ships cant be profitable with the system as is.
And this is JUST the C. Imagine the bulk you ferry in a fricking Hull E (nearly 32 times the cargo capacity of the C)! We need that Quantum Simulation in place ASAP!
0:48 does anyone know why the edges of the planet look so weird? I played SC recently after a long pause since 3.18, and that looked way more natural before
I can not wait for the release implementation of the Hull C, regardless of the 30k, it is very well done. I hope the skin the cargos as the containers in the end, we might need to bug CIG for that small finish touch to make it happen lol
Yeah, the whole cargo can only be sold/unloaded at the Planetary Stations is a bit of a bummer, but you have done us all a service by showing the Hull C is not useful for the supply of Lagrange Stations. Thank you for that Kate!!
If i had to guess they’re your on foot signatures similar to ship IR/EM/CS signatures We are supposed to have ground-based scanning eventually so it’s probably for that
I don't see how it would work. Life Aboard: Corsair works because the Corsair does it all, from space combat to bunker missions, to carrying a mining buggy to having a cargo hold large enough to put stripped components if you do salvaging. The Hull C does one thing, go from Station A to Station B hauling cargo, and since you can't land while hauling cargo, that means you can only buy and sell what is offered at the 4 stations you can use in Stanton. You can't land at bunkers unless you have no cargo. You can't carry a mining vehicle, and even if you could you couldn't deploy it since you can't land with the spindles open. You can't salvage because even if you just go for stripping components and guns, you can't land to sell them at the various junkyards. Maybe if piracy was better organized it'd be interesting watching a Hull C as part of a task force, but on its own I just don't think there's enough content compared to all the other great stuff the channel does. The Hull C is cool, but way too specialized for a Life Aboard series in my opinion.
I saw read go for a run an make $200,000. Not bad, but he almost spent a million to make that… you can do that with 600,000-700,000 on the c2 which is a little annoying. But he did buy relatively low end materials and went to random places to buy and sell at so who knows
I gave up using this ship I spent to much time trying to undock and getting stuck and not to mention 3 mil in game money lost to bugs as this is a loaner for the Hull d I had decided to swap the d for the arrestra so now no problems with this ship as its gone yeah lol
The “crew lounges” are in all the cargo decks. They’ve always been there.
True. This room has been around since the cargo decks came into the game.
They usually have a turtle in there, too.
This hidden spot can be found at every station with a cargo deck. It's been there since cargo decks were introduced just not many people knew about them. Another great vid.

wow thank you very much Arathorn! that is super generous of you! thank you :)
the doors are open by default on the docking ports because otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the ship, since CIG somehow managed to block the door access panels to ships with the docking collar itself which became first apparent with the 890j and in good old CIG fashion they just stuck with the temporary fix since then.
I wish they would go back to the "inner thought"/mobi'glass opens the doors. Used to be able to just look at the door and command it open. Pressing the button seems so 2022 haha
It would be nice to see this ship combined with the reclaimer.
Those combined could eat and digest a whole fleet
Great as always!
awww thank you very much Cutter, really appreciate it! :)
Pretty cool that you can see the cargo area in external view.
I had goosebumps when you entered that elevator inside the Hull-C while in QT.
IIRC, that hideout isn't new, and can be found at every station with a cargo services area.
Supposedly, the only places you can trade with a Hull-C are the 4 main planet space stations.
Thanks for the vid. Ya, currently you can only trade at the major planetary stations with a Hull C. If the RAFT's containers could be detached then you could transfer the cargo but that doesn't seem to be the case. ♥
being able to stow away aboard someone else's ship sounds like a fun mechanic.
I'd like them to tell us what they wanted tested. If its the new system of loading a hull C, likely should make it so all the stations buy things, no matter the demand, so we can try out the cargo system.

True. If there's one thing CIG is known for it's fixing buggy ships, and in a timely manner!
Wait...
I would kill for a life aboard series’s on this ship

Love the video!!! Keep up the good work!
Day one of 3.20 on PU will see spectrum and reddit flooded with complaints that people are getting torpedo'ed while loading/unloading.
trolls will troll.
Honestly a ship that size will be a huge target. hiring security may be needed.
I would have thought that they let you load from the docking ports, and have this "in space loading" area only on stations that have no docking capability.

The display shape on the self status screen when the ship is contracted is a little unfortunate.
I wonder...if they just placed Port Olisar at a random point far away from any planets or space stations and removed any quantum markers around it or the ability to find it on the starmap, how long it would take players to stumble across it.
And the Hull-C is the medium sized hull. Imagine the Hull-E.

@@BizzMRK - The answer is, it's intentional.
The rear turret is just above an open compartiment so was probably imagined as manned but with MISC, it woould have proteubed inside the corridor and probably blocked it.
The new boxes are a great addition. Now they just need to make them empty so we can buy them and put them in our ship for storage.
definitely should let you trade at all space stations. I wonder if you can at refineries?
Also need to make the RAFT have a grid now that the tech is in.

Can you park a snub fighter or and MPUV on the cargo vane. that could be how you get into a station that wont dock like shown in your vid......
Such a big ship without a small hangar is a shame. This is the best feature of the game for big ships.
0:48 does anyone know why the edges of the planet look so weird? I played SC recently after a long pause since 3.18, and that looked way more natural before
Who do you think is more excited with the Hull C making it into the game, Space Truckers or Space Pirates?
I can not wait for the release implementation of the Hull C, regardless of the 30k, it is very well done. I hope the skin the cargos as the containers in the end, we might need to bug CIG for that small finish touch to make it happen lol
There's nothing new about the hidden spot in the cargo deck. It's been there for a lot of patches. I think since they added the cargo area
Yeah, the whole cargo can only be sold/unloaded at the Planetary Stations is a bit of a bummer, but you have done us all a service by showing the Hull C is not useful for the supply of Lagrange Stations. Thank you for that Kate!!
Well, scrap was in demand... would that have sold?
I have a question: What are those 3 lines in the top middle? What are they for? At 0:44 .
If i had to guess they’re your on foot signatures similar to ship IR/EM/CS signatures
We are supposed to have ground-based scanning eventually so it’s probably for that
Nobody seem to know.
How does Hull C land on surface when it's on full cargo ?
Do the cargo grids have gravity?
Second this question. Would be great to throw a few tonks/balistae on it :P
Nice. Can a non-party member come along and tractor the crates off the ship?
I cannot wait/hope for a life aboard series with this ship!!
I don't see how it would work.

That thing is massive!
The hidey hole has been there through all stations with a cargo bay. It is not a new addition.
I saw read go for a run an make $200,000. Not bad, but he almost spent a million to make that… you can do that with 600,000-700,000 on the c2 which is a little annoying. But he did buy relatively low end materials and went to random places to buy and sell at so who knows
How do I join your clan?
Sadly no Morizov Bushdrift armour though, like what was available at PO. Sad face
I gave up using this ship I spent to much time trying to undock and getting stuck and not to mention 3 mil in game money lost to bugs as this is a loaner for the Hull d I had decided to swap the d for the arrestra so now no problems with this ship as its gone yeah lol
So glad this star citizen video didn’t start with an obnoxious and unnecessary cackle…… ❤
PTV best TV. 😊
no question! :) PTV for life haha :D
Yep.. and it’s back to Starfield for me
ah, so the cargo just teleports onto the ship still.....bleh.
As time ticks it's becoming increasingly difficult to defend this, we'll we can't call it a game as a scam.
