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.
