i wish the fancy "beautiful" space BMW would look a lot better and would have an actual luxury entry :V
because having to climb a ladder into a space where you have to crouch isnt luxurious by any means
Word. They could probably cut a bit on those stilt-like gears (since the craft is probably thrusty enough for VTOL anyway) and implement a non-ladder solution. And the internal space is Russian at best
But it would need a much harsher redesign anyway, to house cargo pods seamlessly, and to actually act like a long-range exploration home without all that dead space in the airlock, and more than two square meters of living area. The brochure just promised too much at launch, and now we're stuck with a ship that is too small and probably sold too cheaply if CIG is to keep the original role and scope. I just hope they are going to do the nicer thing and upgrade it into something decent, instead of going 'eh it's a $60 starter, it's gonna suck. Swap to a Constellation ASAP'.
I don't mind the looks though. I actually enjoy the silhouette, including the wing. Maybe a bit smoother finish, less random panels, and finer gaps would help.
