This thread is exactly what I needed to get my HCS installed and up and running properly.... Poor Kate has been all alone with no one to talk to for far too long!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to Imperium!

I do think that the "Luxury" gameplay elements will be significant in some way shape or form eventually, right now ships like the 890 and the Connie Phoenix are much rarer ships in comparison to other large multi-crew ships like the rest of the Connie line or for the 890 there's not much else in it's class given the size and capital status. The Devs have always said that the 890 will be in limited production "once" in-game and there was a specific number quoted somewhere about the amount of 890's produced and available to buy once the full game is live, so I'm fairly confident that being the end game ship of it's class it will be self sustainable in terms of generating credits at least to some degree.

Excellent idea, it's nice to have an overview like this. Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

100%, I couldn't agree more!

Seeing those old concepts really shows just how far the design of the ship has come, the hangar alone was always a mystery whilst a cool idea it was never going to be practical lol. At least now we get the option of having a 300 series sized ship in there as well. I am curious to see the overall colour scheme for the 890 next phase cause I think it could make all the difference!

I've NEVER seen that first iteration of the back of an 890 jump lol and I'm so so glad I hadn't otherwise I may not have purchased one - That old design is absolutely terrible imo and it makes me even more grateful for the new design plus again those wings so glad those are gone 🙌 I have noticed that opinions are pretty split on the new design though and I can fully understand why some don't like the new look and at first I was thinking that @Dwenos was spot on with his observation of the designers taking the luxury yacht feel a little too seriously or better yet not making the design exterior more unique but then I pictured myself literally sailing across the vast oceans of space and I think I can forgive them a little plagiarism 😉

From my understanding the 890 is still probably one of the most if not the most manoeuvrable ships of it's size and I think that it was confirmed that it would not have the offensive capabilities to match the Polaris but it would have superior defensive abilities to enable it to get out of difficult situations I'm still holding out hope that CR makes sure that the ship holds true to the statement about needing another Capital class ship to be able to take an 890 out 1vs1!

It seems that opinion is split over the latest look at the 890J - I personally really like the look so far I know it's unfinished but for now it appears those "mini wings" are gone from the rear which was previously my biggest dislike of the 890J. As a proud owner and in similar fashion to @The Iron Fist I intend to use it as a luxury cruiser for general exploration with that in mind so far nothing they've done has impacted my ideas or aims for this ship in-game!

Welcome to Imperium!

So am I 🙈 which is why I'm shocked I missed it lol - I periodically watch all 4 seasons and both films as well

OMG LOL I can't believe I've never made the connection and you're the first person to tell me how have I missed this!!!! 😅

Hi all, I'm Citadel. I've been part of the Star Citizen community for just over 5 years now, I started with an Avenger titan and vowed at the time to not buy anymore ships until the game launched. fast forward to today and I've recently bought an 890J for when I'm not in one of my 8 or 9 other ships/vehicles not wanting to acknowledge the "buy backs" 👀 - So after looking around at various Orgs and getting a feel for each of them I've been in limbo for quite some time. However after talking with an existing Imperium member "StratoCrewzr" I wanted to not only join Imperium but I'd like to hopefully be useful to the Org and thrive within it. I look forward to getting to know you all better! Citadel
