It happens to a lot of pilots, usually when they’re alone in the cockpit with the engines cooling and a fresh data slate of delivery receipts glowing on the dash.
You’ve spent enough time moving cargo to know the rhythm of it—how to plan a run, how to watch the markets, how to make a small ship pull more weight than people expect.

Then one day, almost without ceremony, you realise your ship is doing exactly what it was built to do… and you’re the one who has outgrown it.

That moment of clarity is familiar to countless haulers across the ’verse, and it often points them toward the same ship:

The MISC Hull B.

The Impound has seen this pattern year after year—pilots reaching that point where they’re ready for a hauler that feels like progress without stepping into the demands of multi-crew giants. And that’s where the Hull B quietly shines.

A Ship Made for Pilots Who’ve Earned Their Stripes

The Hull B isn’t a ship you choose at the start of your journey.
It’s a ship you reach.

It’s the point where hauling stops feeling like “making ends meet” and starts feeling like your own small freight business taking shape.

A Noticeable Step Up

Where the Hull A teaches discipline on a small scale, the Hull B hands you a bigger canvas. With its expandable frame and 384 SCU capacity, it opens the door to bulk trade runs, multi-stop shipment circuits, and the kind of margins that make the trade lanes feel wider and more alive.

It’s still lean enough for a solo pilot to manage, but large enough that you feel the difference the moment you walk up to it on a landing pad.

A Hauler With Identity

MISC’s retractable cargo spindle remains the heart of the ship.
Compact when idle.
Purpose-built when deployed.

It’s a ritual Hull-series pilots know well—the moment the rails lock outward and the ship transforms from a quiet industrial silhouette into something unmistakably ready for work. That mechanical honesty is a big part of why the Hull B feels rewarding to fly.

Growing Into the Mid-Scale Role

The Hull B is the ship where many haulers learn the deeper layers of the trading profession. It encourages you to think ahead, plan intelligently, and build reliable routes rather than reactive ones.

It turns cargo from “another job” into a craft of its own.

Pilots often describe the B as the ship where they started feeling like part of the larger logistics chain—a meaningful middle tier that needs no apology or comparison. It doesn’t compete with the big leviathans and doesn’t pretend to be an all-rounder. It’s proud of the role it fills.

Where the Hull B Fits Into This Year’s Expo

IAE 2955 has brought the usual mix of celebration, speculation, and long queues at expo halls. Among the announcements this season is a confirmed price adjustment for the Hull series once the event concludes—an expected change as ships grow in importance and capability within Star Citizen’s evolving economy.

It’s a shift that has naturally sparked conversations among traders. Not out of urgency, but simply because many pilots who were already considering the Hull B now find themselves asking whether this might be the right time to commit to their next progression ship.

And for those who decide they’re ready, The Impound sits in a comfortable position—offering a simple, secure, no-drama way to add a Hull B to your hangar during the IAE period.

For the Pilot Who’s Ready to Level Up Their Hauling

The Hull B tends to attract a specific kind of player:

Pilots who enjoy the calm rhythm of trade.
Pilots who aren’t chasing firefights or fame.
Pilots who want a ship that respects the knowledge they’ve gained.

It’s perfectly suited for:

• Traders who’ve reached the limits of smaller haulers

• Solo operators who want a mid-scale ship without crew commitments

• Freight pilots building toward a Hull C in the future

• Players who love structure, planning, and seeing their cargo operation grow

The Hull B feels like a declaration—not to others, but to yourself.
A marker that your journey as a trader is shifting into something bigger.

A Natural Fit for The Impound’s Hauling Community

At The Impound, we’ve spent years supporting pilots who take pride in their fleets—especially those who gravitate toward the industrial and logistical side of Star Citizen. The Hull B has always been one of those ships that feels at home with our community: reliable, honest, and capable in a way that grows over time.

For haulers who’ve reached the point where the next chapter is calling, securing a Hull B through The Impound is as simple as it gets. Straightforward delivery. Clear listings. No “maybe-stock” uncertainty—just the ship, ready to join your fleet as you plan the routes ahead.

Get Your Hull B Before The Price Increase

The MISC Hull B is far from the biggest freighter in the ’verse. It’s not meant to be.
What it is, however, is the ship where a pilot’s confidence and capability meet in the middle—large enough to matter, manageable enough to enjoy, and honest enough that every credit feels earned.

For the trader who feels that quiet shift—the realisation that they’re ready for more—the Hull B is one of the most natural steps you can take.

And if this is the moment you’ve reached that crossroads yourself, The Impound is here to help you bring that next chapter into your hangar with ease.
