Hull abilities are a concept that is currently being explored to a limited extent with SCO optimization, Mk II cargo racks, and thee Type-11’s Mining Drill. Hull abilities are any capability that is bound to a ships hull, and not transferrable. In the past we have seen instances of certain ships having specialized internal bays that can only receive specific modules.

This video will detail some changes to the UI that I believe will help in this regard, and then speculate on how these changes can facilitate an expansion of these unique attributes. The goal is to better communicate features and abilities to players in outfitting, and provide a foundation for additional abilities and features to be added to all ships as needed going forward.
