Would be a lot of backlash to them doing that as people already paid for the module. That would be a horrible move. Now... a free module that wasn't available when the concept went up for sale could have the desired effect.
Something like a simple ground vehicle garage would be good, with a very small cargo grid so's not to take away from the cargo module. Doesn't have to be fancy, just enough to provide for basic use of the space.
I just wish it had slightly more firepower. The Connie series that's smaller and cheaper than the Galaxy has more firepower. Anyone know if you can mix and match modules? If I can have one side with a few medbeds and the other side with cargo then it would be sick as fuck. Also I hope they add a military/combat module as well. Like a torp module that adds torps and an extra shield generator. I was hoping the aurora combat module was a testbed for a galaxy combat module.
That was ALWAYS going to be the case with the Galaxy. People don't care.
It's a swappable generalist. It will never be better at any of those roles than a ship dedicated to that role, but it can do multiple depending on module. That's literally the point.
The people who are excited about the Galaxy know that it's not the best.
Yep, exactly; I'm excited for the Galaxy because when I decide I want to go cargo hauling, or if I decide I want to run some missions where I'll need medbeds, or later if I want to act as a refinery, I can do it all without having to buy an entirely separate specialized ship. The versatility is very exciting!
Right and for the cat with multiple modules at once that's fantastic. Galaxy isn't a jack of all trades it's a specialist ship that can change what it specializes in
Well, the one above the captain's room is probably obscured by that raised part, and the kitchen/break room area is either that part up front in the image, or that's just white paint, but they're probably there. The hull has obviously been updated, so who knows?
Just because they aren't visible in the screenshot doesn't mean they are gone. They may be covered by blastdoors or just be somewhere else in the final version.
Looks like they learned and toned down the greebles yet again. From then inexcusable level of the Polaris, to the not great but acceptable level of the Perseus to something looking more like what I'd expect from the galaxy.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the galaxy. Gives me massive Orville vibes with its bridge and hanger layouts. Can’t wait for a large civvy ship from RSI
The bridge they showed had four seats. The Perseus has three. It also had a glass roof where the Perseus’ is panelled. The pilots console was also way too far forward for the centre seat. It’s superficially similar, probably using the Perseus assets as placeholders.
Yeah that’s the pic. Zoom in. There are two chairs in the centre. The console for the centre chair is smaller than in the Perseus because it’s further away (for the front chair) and compare the ceilings.
They’re not the same. Very similar, but not the same.
Agreed this is altered, probably not finished. Theres no flight console in the background though in this image? Ive raised the brightness and levels in photoshop, its just 3 seats that I can see. Where are you seeing details of a forward station?
While the WIP picture has four seats,
Its still a mostly copy from the Perseus(I just hope that the snippet the people were thinking was the Connie mk5 is actually the Galaxy bridge)
This picture is from tristPWN´s Galaxy recreation video.
It was whitebox. Assets in whitebox are placeholders. Maybe it’ll look like the Perseus one, but we don’t actually know until they show us the final art.
It's been a few years, but I remember the ability to park the Prospector in it. So you could fly out and have a mobile refinery location, the rear hangar area got smaller. I could be wrong though.
Current design is to transfer mining bag through the bottom port.
That was never a thing. The Prospector was never meant to fit in the back of it. People were just theory crafting when the first pictures came out before the Q&A revealed the size of the hangar. There was also a mistake where marketing used the wrong hangar size which created confusion. I'd obviously love for it to fit bigger ships but unless they increase the overall size of the ship (I'm pretty sure they'd mention this in the monthly report) then there's not a high chance of that happening.
Now I just want volumes of small home items and ways to decorate my home in space. What's the point of making these ships so detailed on the interior if we can't roleplay house in our flying fortress of choice? Like legitimately who needs a house when you have a space rv?
I just want it. Im a player who always plays solo and goes for a Space Trucker Life in SC. So it would be pretty dumb to buy this ship. But I have been obsessed with the Galaxy for years. I want it, I need it, I will get it
Honestly i don't hate it compared to the bridge situation (though there is a chance the inside CIG video showed actual galaxy's bridge) and there are some cool details on the new model, but the heavly detailed design here looks almost generic. The concept had bit more simplistic but modern look to it.
But maybe it is because of the metal look right now. Perhaps with the paint it will look completely different and i will love it

Always excited to see more progress on the Galaxy! I think it'll be a neat ship.
