QUESTION AND ANSWER

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16093-Q-A-Origin-600i

 

[Aethio]

I would expect that it is Origin's equivalent of the Constellation, with bigger engines and a sleeker exterior, as, from an entrepreneurial perspective, for RSI to fill that large niche as a solitary company must be a huge competitive disadvantage.  

[Chimaera]

I agree with the Connie sized, but probably one that has a hauling version, passenger version, and maybe one that'll act as a mobile...news studio? Maybe? dunno..

[Metternich70]

It will not be cheap. This is the only sure thing.

[Luco Balliere]

With Origin's lineup, I'm not even sure what they'd push. They're all about the glitz and it seems like just getting from point A to point B in as much style as possible is their goal (hence the 85x/890/300i/350R), but I'd really like to see them branch out into something different. 

That said, I'm fully expecting Phoenix 2.0 by Origin, which I am 100% down for, so long as I can arm it similarly to other similar-sized ships.

[Kokoro]

I don't see origin making a hauler tbh as it doesn't sound luxury enough to me. I also expect something along the line of a connie size ship. Passenger carrier maybe? Something that competes with the Genesis but more luxurious. 

[Chimaera]

Or...super-sexy gunship! Pew pew in style!

Wow, I actually thought the Phoenix was like a mini 890. Totally agree with your point. A luxury passenger ship is what I think.

Well damn. These ideals don't bold well for "affordability."  If they make is Connie size (very likely) and go with luxurious passenger vehicle (hinted at), than pricing will fall between 300-400   

Excited non the less. After seeing Drake redesign their line and Origin being next, this should be exciting. Definitely the 2017 ship I am looking forward to seeing.

If you want affordable you're thinking of the Freelancer sized 400 series.

Where did you get this?

I thought they discontinued the 400 series....

 

I am hoping for something between freelancer and connie size that accomplishes the same as the Constellation with more glitz. I am hoping that it will be more posh than the Phoenix as I see the phoenix like Acura vs Origin being BMW

[Booster Terrik]

More glitz than the current Phoenix .... you are kidding right?

when I look at my Connie this is what I see:

 

Instead of that look I would much prefer this look for the Phoenix : 

 

[Space-Walrus]

Basically I'm expecting a Constellation, but Origin. Fancy seats, slightly higher quality components, the works. I'll certainly be interested to see how it fares against the Phoenix.

Ah, see you're looking for the Pimp-mobile package.

Whatever it is, you can bet it is going to look sexy as hell.

[CheeseNorris]

It's an Origin Transformer... capable of joining up with other ships to form a Mega-zord... *cough* I mean Mega-ship... XD

[Booster Terrik]

LOL it would be funny if you could connect 2 connies belly to belly by linking the landing gear. That ship would throw out a mean missile volley and have a deadly forward facing laser array

[GeraldEvans]

From the back of the Defender brochure.

[Devil Khan]

Well looks like the next concept is the Origin 600

[Trophias]

Can't wait.

[CC-Corp]

hope the 300i gets that treatment soon if the 600 looks like that!

[Amy Babe]

CIG starts to raise the hype:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/600i-confirmed-as-transport-ship

 

the 600i would be a transport/research ship.

[Devil Khan]

They started several months ago and I'm not taking about the name leaked due to AtV either. It's a luxury craft below 890 and above the phoenix

[Th3 Warm0ng3r]

Might be worth cashing in the phoenix for, I was considering using my token this quarter on getting my 890 back but it just seems too large for my personal yacht while my phoenix is just too small to do anything much with the VIP missions.

[GRIZZ]

It would fill the gap for VIP transport between the Pheonix and 890J, but I think an aquilla competitor would be more popular.
