    Mk II has modules (you can see them in the background video here) so you’ll be able to decide on cargo capacity up to 6 SCU (same as the old Aurora Clipper). It also looks a bit bigger than the original so I’m expecting a slightly expanded interior.

    Other than that, we should get some stats tomorrow so hopefully that’ll give us some idea on where it stands. Classic Hornet didn’t become completely useless so I hope it’ll be the same with Chris’ favourite brand. It has to be, right?

      It does look much bigger, so you’re probably right.

      On the downside there, it’ll no longer fit in a Carrack, and possibly not in an 890J either. Hell, I’ve seen four Aurora MK I’s fit in a C2 as a pocket carrier. I guess that’s not feasible either, lol.

      I wonder if there’ll be any CCU options for Aurora MK I owners.

        I don’t think it’ll be large enough to prevent it from fitting into these two. Or at least I hope not - that would take it even further from the core idea behind the original than it already is. My bet is on a slightly tighter fit but we’ll see.

        Was/is there a CCU option for the Hornets? I prefer the classic versions of both ships so I didn’t really look into it but I assume it’ll be the same here. CCU is certainly more probable than the “let classic owners upgrade for free” some people are fantasising about.
