I have a feeling those compartments over the current bunks are Murphy Bunks as that seems to be a trend in their designs over multiple manufacturers. This would give 3-6 bunks which seems appropriate as this ship can handle basically 1-6 players. You have gameplay loops for Pilot, Copilot, Top Gunner, Bottom Gunner, Scanning Tech and Engineer. This is definitely the most versatile ship so far and it's why I own one. Once the scanning/hacking and data mining/trading gameplay gets implemented this ship will shine brighter than most in it's size range.

Nice review of the MSR. I have one in my fleet, and I love it. Initially I was reluctant to get one, as I'm not really a fan of asymmetric designs, but the MSR grew on me. My first introduction to what the ship was like was with my Org members. The leader of the Org has one and he was looking for a crew to do some missions. He's a Twitch Streamer and I frequently fly with him while he streams. I joined his crew as a turret gunner and we did several claim jumper missions. Those turrets were quite capable of dealing with any threats and we successfully completed the missions while only taking minor damage in any of them. The shields were great at protecting the ship. After being with him on those missions, I made the jump to owning the ship for myself. It can handle plenty of cargo, and when data running comes into the game, it will be great as a money making option. At the time of release, the only real data running ship was the Herald. The only thing that makes it better at data running is it's speed, but it is limited to just data, and has no other options like the MSR. I'm never in any hurry, so the stock quantum engines are ok for me for now. One of the main complaints I have of the ship is the only way in is the ramp. Frankly, there really should be a second way in, like that elevator could go to the planet surface and be used to enter the ship. If you are landed in uneven ground, the ramp can be untenable for entry. Thanks for the review.

I own a lot of ships but if I was forced to only have one then it would be the MSR. The most common objection to it is that it takes too long to reach the cockpit with all those doors but I did several time trials against my other ships and it takes almost the same time from outside to starting the engines as the RAFT and is actually about 5-6 seconds faster than my 400i whatever entrance you use. It is great for planetside mining as it will fit two ROCs easily and more importantly it just looks so good inside and flies nicely. Obviously its cargo capacity is great for earning money and as a person who avoids combat wherever possible, the acceleration and top speed is very useful for getting that cargo to market despite the best efforts of pirates.

@@Farrister Agreed. However if Cig gave a basic level of security to the hiding spots.. eg: non registered crew could not open the hatches and had to blast open the locks or use a multi-tool cutter on the locks would make it super awesome.

Like many, I love this ship. It has many things going for it, and a few that could really stand a change - some small, others less so. The purpose of an elevator in the cargo area is questionable, where it easily could have been a short flight of stairs that would be invulnerable to typical elevator bugs. The only reason I can fathom for the elevator is for when data running becomes a playable mechanic and you have to haul databanks from the main deck to the cargo area, but again, stairs are better. I really appreciate the light switches, but there should be at least one switch - probably in the cockpit - that allows you to turn ALL the lights on or off at a flick. The recreation area is simple, well laid out and mostly comfortable. I say mostly because the poor sod who has to stand while playing a game of chess should feel very put out. Give that side of the table a chair! I can understand the desire to design a specific engineering space, and it is convenient to have all your components in one location, but having such a critical area accessible directly from the only entrance to the ship is a poor design from a security standpoint. So, all-in-all, The MSR is fantastic, but I would have liked to see the above design elements better implemented.
