600i Questions & Answers

We have added some of our own questions and answers below as well. Please note all information is speculative and subject to change as this information is about the 600i concept ship.
SCFocus Origin 600i Questions & Answers
Is 600i overpriced?
Yes. The 600i is a luxurious ship for players who have more UEC than sense. It´s also worth noting that the 600i concept price is the lowest price this ship will be purchasable for. This means that it is expected to become much higher in price in the game. This is a ship for those who specifically want pretty and comfortable over anything else.
Is the 600i Better Than The Constellation Phoenix
It depends. The Constellation Phoenix and the Origin 600i are ships in a similar class - Luxury Exploration. The 600i is the amphibian and the Phoenix is better suited for space operations. While both ships can carry an ground exploration vehicle, the Phoenix also has a snub ship - the Kruger P72 Archimedes. The 600i is more like a private yacht while the Phoenix is something between a limo and a private jet.
If you're looking for a spacious, luxurious explorer capable of going into the water then the 600i is better suited. If you prefer to have a spaceship with a classy snub fighter then the Phoenix might be better. The Phoenix is... like a Phoenix and the 600i is like a Swan.
Is the 600i Better Than The Carrack?
The 600i is a luxurious swan, capable of carrying a crew comfortably through space or parked in a tropical marina in the water. The Carrack is a military explorer capable of sustained deep space exploration. The Carrack is listed to be a larger ship with less comfortable living quarters but designed to explore the far reaches of the galaxy and possibly beyond. For dedicated explorers the Carrack is without doubt the better long distance exploration ship with enough cargo space to bring back many discoveries.
Can the 600i be outfitted for other roles?
The 600i is currently being offered with the Explorer module or Touring module. While it has not been confirmed that there will be more modules, the official Q & A says it is possible more modules could become available in the future.
Is the 600i a good ship at making money?
No. Players seeking to maximize their income in the Star Citizen game should look elsewhere. The 600i is not supposed to be an affordable ship to operate. It is a luxurious ship which means even the slightest scratch could be expensive to fix. Given the ship sacrifices operational efficiency for comfortable living quarters it is not likely that this ship will run at anything other than great expense. It certainly won’t be a profitable ship to operate.
However, it’s worth mentioning that there is at least one profession that could be possible with the 600i: Super Luxury transport. There could be select jobs that require a lot of reputation that might be available in the game such as bringing VIP NPCs to and from locations discretely and in comfort.
Is the 600i a limited ship?
Yes. The 600i, much like other luxury ships such as the 890 Jump or the Constellation Phoenix, is a limited ship.
