Notable Information:
➣ The Idris exterior has had a quite a few reworks both in its current shape/profile as well as from its original concept design.
➣ They used slight changes in elevation even among the same deck to give it as much useable space and for pathing to make sense.
➣ The gravity room was moved from upstairs to downstairs.
➣ No dead ends really exist in the Idris, its all one big flowing route.
➣ There is a sub deck, main deck, and
➣ Bunks have shutters for privacy and there is a built in entertainment area.
➣ Pilots area is going to see a size increase before release.
➣ The Captain’s room and missile room are not fully available as they are pulled from a specific spot in SQ42s development and they are not quite ready.
➣ Idris was put into production around the same time as the Retaliator.
➣ The Hammerhead uses a lot of the Idris kit so players will notice many similarities.
➣ The pilot ready room used to be across from ATC but was moved to the deck with the rest of the habitation items.
➣ The Idris features amenities like a gym, brig, armory/firing range, and a briefing room.
➣ There is a cargo area below the hangar accessible by lifts in the hangar.
➣ the Idris engine room took a lot of real world inspiration and that is extending to other capital ships.
➣ The Idris has redundancies like bulkheads and backup components for emergencies.
➣ The engine room is by far the most protected room of the ship making it intentionally difficult for enemies to disable the ship.
➣ The bridge has both a lift and two sets of staircases for access.
➣ Visibility was drastically improved on the bridge.
➣ There is still “quite a bit of work” to do on the Idris before its ready for players.
➣ “Oh no, IDRIS the ship you have been looking for?!?!”
Not a bad episode but I find it really funny how Nate talked about Idris being “packed” - it’s a space ship and a military one at that, shouldn’t “packed” be the goal here?!
