Daniel Raymond discusses the challenges faced by the Hull C ship in version 3.22 and beyond, particularly in terms of cargo handling and docking issues. Despite the current problems, Daniel sees potential in the Hull C and suggests improvements for future updates, including streamlining the cargo handling process and conceptual redesigns to enhance its functionality for cargo hauling.
In the video transcription, Daniel Raymond discusses the current state of the Hull C ship in version 3.22 and beyond. He highlights that the Hull C faces challenges with landing in hangers, unlike other cargo ships, which impacts cargo handling in the game. Daniel compares his experience flying heavy cargo in the Hercules to using the Hull C, noting that while the Hull C is viable, it comes with various problems and quirks that users need to navigate.
Daniel outlines the process of hauling cargo with the Hull C, detailing the steps involved from waking up and retrieving the ship to selling the cargo and logging out. He mentions several issues encountered during different steps, such as glitches with cargo spindles, delays in cargo loading, and difficulties with docking at stations. These challenges contribute to a less smooth and efficient cargo hauling experience with the Hull C compared to other ships like the Hercules.
One significant problem Daniel highlights is the lack of recovery for the Hull C in case of server crashes. Unlike the Hercules, where cargo remains intact after a crash, the Hull C loses its cargo upon returning from a server crash. This issue adds to the frustration and inconvenience of using the Hull C for cargo transport in the game.
Looking ahead, Daniel suggests improvements for the Hull C in future updates. He emphasizes the need to streamline the cargo handling process by reducing the number of steps involved. Additionally, he proposes a conceptual redesign for the Hull C to align it more closely with how hanger-based craft operate in the game, offering suggestions for a space stock concept with oversized freight elevators and different container sizes.
In conclusion, Daniel sees potential in the Hull C despite its current challenges. He encourages players to navigate the existing issues and looks forward to future updates that could enhance the ship’s functionality for cargo hauling. Daniel also provides an update on ongoing giveaways in his videos and signs off with a reminder to “fly safe, keep it real,” and expresses his anticipation to meet viewers in the game universe.
