Star Citizen's Smallest Medical Ship - The C8R Pisces 

Where is the external storage?

@@ssholeEater The cabinets above the sink/medical supplies area. Two separate external storages, one meant for crew and one meant for patient, and are labeled as such, but of course you can store whatever you want in either of them.

@@ssholeEater There are 2 overhead compartments on the left side when you walk in to the main section with the bed. The one for Crew Storage is external.

I agree! It would be nice to have an armor set that distinguishes medical personnel from the other people in the 'verse.

Medguns don't use batteries. They use stem cell jelly.

A pisces that acts as a small RV would be cool also. Clearly there is enough room for a small kitchenette and bed, and maybe they could turn the decontamination chamber into a sort of mudroom/armory.

The C8 actually has slots for 4 weapons, it's just that the slots are only filled on the c8x by default. The c8r doesn't have the weapon slots at all.

@@jwinsatt Oh that’s my bad then

@@jwinsatt no, check erkul games. The C8 has two weapon hardpoints and no way to add more.

@@kyleobryant6150 He’s wrong lol. He’s going off some wiki. Erkul games shows 2 size 1 hardpoints with no way to add additional weapons. I also have a C8 as part of a Carrack, it is limited to 2 weapons, just like the C8R. The C8X is the only Pisces that has or can have 4 weapons. All are gimbaled size 1.

@@tiestofalljays Actually, with the stock C8X loadout only the nose guns are gimbaled. You can mount size 1 gimbals on the wing mounts, but the guns sort of clip into the lower wing support. (they still work fine though)

Did you choose between the two?

I’m also in the same predicament

I was thinking/wondering about the same thing. I’m surprised Morph missed it.

I've actually daydreamed about making a little touring version of the Pisces and call it the Sunfish. No need for cargo capacity beyond a bit of personal storage for weapons and gear. It could function as a long range hotel room for players on an expedition with their group, or just a pleasant little tooling around craft. Not a small utility ship like the original, but it could function in a courier capacity to run sensitive but physically compact items or a passenger or two in a discrete little flyer. I'd probably want to leave the large dropping rear ramp access behind and use a fixed rear hull with a regular door with steps. MAYBE maybe maybe a very small airlock would fit, but it would probably require the door section to be blistered out of the rear of the hull by a few feet so that it doesn't take up too much internal space. I also thought of the Gunfish, which leans into a different role for a little companion ship. This one sacrifices the cargo space to add a manned dorsal turret and a heavier shield, and it probably would need to carry a few missiles too. It wouldn't be intended as a true fighter, but rather as a kind of picket ship, a craft meant to orbit and screen its larger ship while allowing the commander to execute more complicated actions. The Gunfish would likely have to sacrifice basically all non-combat utility and suffer a greatly increased price in order to justify the modification from a reasonable work van into a well armed pocket gunship that can actually give pause to the kind of ship that would cause concern for a large vessel. And then the last version I wanted would be a survey model with a bitchin' sensor suite and maybe a bit of added range. Something used to access difficult jump points and maybe chart a route back through more convenient but previously unknown paths.

@@Omniseed No! I just want the one ship! I don't want more ships! You bastard!

Flight nurse here, I agree. And while some of the ergonomics don't make much sense with the layout overall, I will say though I was really impressed with the presences of a sharps container and other small touches like that.

Unfortunately it will perform the opposite. It will create technical debt for them because you want them to rush features out. What would be better, is if people took some time to understand game development and support CIG with it.

That would be awesome. Coupled with the Carrack’s intended modularity it would be awesome to see a proper hospital module for the Carrack, that way you could have it, the medical Ursa and the C8R for a full, long distance hospital ship.

The 890j would certainly benefit from a passenger specific ship like the E1 Spirit though I'm not sure she'll fit.

Totally agree, atm I don’t think there is any ship currently available that’s actually truly suited to being placed in the 890J hangar, it need a luxury shuttle of some description but one capable of carrying at least half a dozen VIPs

@@chalky042 the 300i and the 85x are both good choices but for the owner not for the passengers

@@ConradLarsonGaming personally I’d run a 315p but there’s nothing appropriate for the purpose of the ship, if they re designed a 300i into a mini Phoenix they would probably be about right for what the 890J needs

I mean if I were running the project I would develop a 300 variant with a wider profile, an expanded rear cabin lounge, and capacity for about 6 passengers. I’d replace the ladder with docking collar so it could mate with the 890. I worked in luxury automotive for years and this kind of client wants to enjoy a vip lounge experience. The idea that you have to wait through the security point at Riker and go on the same smelly elevator that Drake pilots use is just not the look. So what you need is a flying lounge that can land on top of a skyscraper yeah? 300wideboi with a sunken coffee table kind of situation between the kitchenette and bed space is the way to go, slightly pared down experience to what you find in the 400 diner kind of thing.
