The '''Hull B''' is the only medium freighter of the Hull series of cargo ships developed by [[StarCitizen:Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern]]. It represents a more durable choice frequently contrasted with other vessels of comparable cargo capacity. However, while those ships are designed for extended-range exploration and various functions, the Hull B serves solely as a cargo transport. They are commonly utilized as corporate support vessels, and it is not unusual to observe multiple ships in diverse liveries during a single journey. In contrast to the other larger vessels in the series, it possesses the ability to land on a planet while fully loaded.<ref name="HullBStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hull/Hull-B|text=MISC Hull-B Store}}</ref><ref name="HullBFlyable">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/21054-MISC-Hull-Bs|text=A Hull For Every Job: The MISC Hull Series}}</ref><ref name="HullBQandA">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/21085-Q-A-MISC-Hull-B|text=Q&A: MISC Hull B}}</ref>

==Features==
{{List item
|Extension and Compaction
|The Hull B features a retractable cargo spindle that maximizes surface area when extended and protects it when retracted, allowing for landings in tighter spaces. It is the largest model in the series capable of landing with the spindle extended.<ref name="HullBFlyable"/>
}}
{{List item
|Cargo
|The ship boasts a [[StarCitizen:Cargo|cargo]] capacity of 512 SCU, with the ability of transporting as many as 16 [[StarCitizen:32-SCU container|32-SCU containers]].<ref name="HullBStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Tractor Beams
|The vessel is equipped with a pair of forward facing remotely operated Size 2 [[StarCitizen:Tractor_beam|tractor beams]] that facilitate the efficient transfer of the substantial cargo it is capable of transporting.<ref name="HullBStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Stowage
|Inside the ship there is are two personal storage lockers that can each hold up to 1000k µSCU of various items. There is also two suit lockers, however as of Alpha 4.7.1 this functionality has yet to be implemented.<ref name="HullBStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Weapon/Utility racks
|A specialized FPS weapons rack is available, capable of accommodating two Size 2 [[StarCitizen:Personal_weapon|weapons]], along with three Size 1 [[StarCitizen::Category:Pistols|pistols]] and/or [[StarCitizen::Category:Medguns|medguns]]. Additionally, there exists a dedicated utility rack that can support two [[StarCitizen::Category:Gadgets_(Size_2)|Size 2]] and two [[StarCitizen::Category:Gadgets_(Size_1)|Size 1]] utility tools.<ref name="HullBStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Living quarters
|A living space that is minimalistic yet functional has been designed to accommodate a maximum of two crew members during extended missions. This living quarters comprises of beds, a bathroom, and kitchenette.<ref name="HullBFlyable"/>
}}
{{List item
|Defense
|The Hull B is not entirely without defense thanks to its two forward Size 3 [[StarCitizen:Gun|gun]] hardpoints, a dorsal turret with two additional Size 3 hardpoints, and its racks that can hold up to eight Size 3 [[StarCitizen:Missile|missiles]] in addition to its industrial standard [[StarCitizen:Shield generator|shields]].<ref name="HullBStore"/>

For most of the concern’s history, the majority of MISC’s business has come from the production output of its heavy industrial division. MISC-HI is chiefly responsible for the Hull series range of configurable bulk transport spacecraft that have become ubiquitous in UEE space. These sturdy, modular hulls are the basis for the majority of Human corporate shipping. Their unexpected popularity among the Xi'an has spawned an unlikely business relationship (and a string of imitators on the other side of the border).

When the line launched in 2802, four standard models ranged in size from the efficient Hull A to the gargantuan Hull D. The Hull series quickly revolutionized interstellar freight, leading to the standardization of dockyards and cargo processes around the UEE. This led to long-ranging knock-on effects, including over a dozen outside companies being founded or significantly shifting focus to support the Hull design, such as Argo Astronautics launching its MPUV line of short-range cargo ferries. In 2820, MISC developed a fifth ‘super-freighter’, the Hull E, which has since become the de facto interplanetary bulk goods transporter, with docks around the galaxy moving cargo containers back and forth from the huge ships around the clock<ref name="jp1004MF">{{Cite Jump Point|title=Manufacturer feature: MISC|volume=10|month=4|startpage=18|endpage=18|accessdate=2022-12-12}}</ref>

Testimonial=
''“I know it’s a cliche, but when I started my company I had nothing but the spacesuit on my back. We had this great idea to overclock laser weapons and sell them to enthusiasts… but the biggest loan the bank would give us wouldn’t even cover a ‘MAX. I saved up enough extra creds to afford a Hull B [instead of an A] knowing it’d be years before I was able to fill it up. Long story short, we had leased a second and then a third before the year was out. I still have that first ‘worker B,’ outfitted as a mobile office for the corp!”''
