Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games fully unveiled and made available one of the most anticipated ships of its lineup, the MISC Hull B.
It includes a rather fetching and very practical collapsible cargo grid that has the ship literally split in two and extend the grid, allowing you to load a sizable 512 SCU of cargo including the massive 32 SCU crates.
Despite that, unlike the larger Hull C, the ship can still land with its full cargo loaded, removing the requirement for a docking station.
It’s also rather handy because it can be controlled by a single pilot, although a copilot maneuvering the tractor beams can make loading and unloading in hot areas quicker, while still retaining the ability to withdraw at a moment’s notice.
If one wants to purchase it with real money, it starts at $260. Of course, you should keep in mind that ship purchases are intended for those who want to support the development of Star Cituzen. If you just want the Hull B, it’ll become available in the in-game stores and purchasable with in-game money soon.
The ship becomes flyable starting tomorrow with update Alpha 4.7.1, and you can see it below.
If you’re unfamiliar with Star Citizen, it’s a PC exclusive, crowdfunded project directed by Chris Roberts of Wing Commander fame. It’s a multiplayer sandbox space simulator that has been in development for over a decade and in alpha for several years.
The crowdfunding total for the game is almost at $960 million, and it’s currently sitting at $959,959,157. The game currently has 6,405,701 registered accounts, but we know that not all are paying customers.
Some are alt accounts, while others are simply created to enjoy the “Free Fly” periods that fairly often let non-backers enjoy the game at no cost.
It’s notable that Star Citizen’s funding tally for 2025 has beaten all records from previous years by a large margin.
A single-player campaign titled Squadron 42 is also in active development with a 2026 release window, starring an exceptional cast of famous actors, including Mark Hamill, Henry Cavill, Gary Oldman, Liam Cunningham, Gillian Anderson, and more.
Since the project has been in development for over a decade, you can see how Squadron 42 has evolved since its first reveal.
