400i Design Concept
To explore the stars is a most noble endeavor, and Origin Jumpworks has risen to the occasion in crafting the 400i, the ultimate high-performance pathfinder. Representing a harmonious concourse of style, quality, and sophistication, the 400i exhibits class-leading range, substantial defensive capabilities, and a factory-equipped scanning array, while maintaining the comfort and elegance Origin is known for. Take on the harshest corners of the galaxy without compromise.
- Substantial Defensive Capabilities (So Extra Defenses? Better Stealth? Better Speed? Better Spool Times? What does it mean?)
- 'Factory Equiped' Scanning Array (scanning what?)
- Comfort and Elegance (point these out to me please, I just see a Mid quality ship, Comfort with a tractorbeam? Comfort with Extended landing gear for vehicles? Comfort how? Elegance? So like NOT like how it flys now, more Responsive and Sharp, a balarina twisting and turning on cue? NO?)
- Take ont he HARSHEST Corners, without Compromise (So Extreme Reliablity, Dependability and Survival Traits)
Sounds like one Interesting Ship, can't wait to fly it, oh the one in game now, no no that's NOT this.
I'm confused, These are the primary Design goals of this ship, regarless of the Disclaimer. DISCLAIMER: These are our current vehicle specifications. Some of this may change during the 3D design and game balancing process.
I don't care if it doesn't have 3 Power Plants, Make Tough, like Point 4
I don't care if the captains quarters get their own bedroom, Make it Elegant to Fly, and a Breeze to Use as in Point 3. Scanner Array, Great, lets scanner everything including multiple ship combat alert system that Origin keeps promoting in every ad/ship.
Substantail Defensive Capabilities, This Ship should oooze "Dude hold my Beer and watch this": Does it have a massive amount of Countermeasures, that fire in every direction simutataniously? Does it target and fire missiles at attacking missiles, Does it Autoplot an escape route? Does it Auto shoot down attacking Missiles? Does it have stealth, or can it make it self with active cooling that makes the IR is really low? Those would be considered "Substantail Defensive Capabilities", Yes? Maybe? No?
In the end you could say it does more than anyone Else for Defense, or atleast as good as the Top Tier Defenders (such as the Auto Defence turrets of the 890 Jump
Just because it's not in the current game, doesn't mean that the Design Principles shouldn't be forgotten, this is my point.
Thanks

Base on when it was launched:
- Substantial Defensive Capabilities: Very fast, shielding that was larger than other ships of its size, 2 rear-firing turrents (each with 2 S3 repeaters), redundancy in components
- 'Factory Equiped' Scanning Array: Not in game yet, but explorers are supposed to have better scanning equipment than non-explorers plus the 400i is the smallest ship to have a holotable, which is supposed to make scanning large areas easier.
- Take on the harshest corners of the galaxy without Compromise: Just some random words to make it sound attractive. Lump it in there with "punches above its weight class" and other expressions meant to sound appealing to buyers.
