The thing that strikes me as odd aobut the Railen is the trangualar cargo pods. The Railen makes a big deal about being compatible with Human and Xi'an phsyiology, but what about automated systems? The triangular cargo pods of the Railen seem like a poor choice for packing UEE cubical cargo containers. Further, if cargo is physicalized, how do these triangular pods work with UEE autmated cargo-handling systems? I can easily imagine an "adapter" insert that would give the pods a rectangular interior, but that's a waste of space. For that matter, what shape would a cargo unit have to have in order to pack that geometry efficiently? And, yes, I reaalize that the exterior form may not represent the interior volume, but this also implies inefficiency. Of course, the whole ship is inefficient compared to, say, a HULL B, but the HULL B is useless (easy prey, anyway) outside of high-law space. <Update> @DriftwoodBadger makes an excellent point: The actual cargo containers are hexagonal, not triangular. Each large triangale is just an endcap/support frame for three smaller, hexoganal pods arranged in a triangle. This doesn't really change anything, as packing is stil not space-optimal if you are packing 1 SCU cubes into a hexagonal cargo pod. If were talking about economics rooted in any kind of real-world physics, that would be crazy. In Star Citizen, it probably gets a handwavium (thanks @BeardRub) pass under "rule of cool". The alternative argument is that you just use hexagonal boxes when flying this ship. From the standpoint of automation, the argument here is simply that the UEE is already trading with the Xi'an and thus UEE automated cargo systems and facilities can handle the hexogonal boxes just fine. </Update>
