My Merchantman obsession was ignited by the lore.
“The Banu Merchantman isn’t just a ship, it’s a home and a way of life.”
“... more than just a sterile bulk freighter”
“... more than ready to defend itself!”
“... the design team will expand Banu technology to offer players a completely different way of experiencing their universe.”
"... fast, armored ... adapted to run blockades and escape the authorities when necessary"
"... a traveling bazaar, capable of landing or docking and then inviting locals in to view what it’s cargo holds have to offer"
"The ship design, perfected by generations of Banu development, is intended to offer a combination of high speed and durability."
Please CIG, for the love of the Banu Gods, don't make her a maze of corridors like the StarFarer.
