400i

The 400i is a high-performance luxury pathfinder manufactured by Origin Jumpworks. With greater range compared to other ships in its class, advanced exploration equipment, and substantial defensive capabilities, the 400i is a ship that can explore the most unforgiving sectors of the 'verse while retaining the comfort and elegance that Origin is well known for.

Features

Luxury Crew Accommodation

The beautifully crafted interior features amenities far surpassing any other ship in its class, ensuring absolute crew comfort even in the most remote regions of space.

Defense

The 400i features a size 3 shield generator, two S3 Panther Repeaters mounted forward, and two rear-mounted remote turrets that each mount two more S3 Panther Repeaters. It also boasts generous ordnance capacity with 16 size 2 and 16 size 1 missiles.

X1 Bike Bay

The front nose section contains a vehicle bay designed to hold the Origin X1, but can also hold vehicles such as the Nox, which allows you to explore locally. Access to the bike bay is via a drop down platform.

UEE-Standard Docking Collar

Located on the port side of the ship, this gives you the ability to dock to stations or other ships without exposure to the surrounding environment.

Airlock room

Thanks to this airlock, crew can access hostile environments either via the stepped platform or the side docking collar and not expose the rest of the ship.

Easy cargo access

Effortless access to the ship's 42 SCU of internal storage via a drop down platform.

Development

In 2020, prior to 400i's introduction, the ship assets for the 400i were already in the game files, but not in the game itself. This meant that anyone could search the game files and extract the models details as well as the ships information/stats. Soon after, the assets were posted on Reddit without Cloud Imperium's consent.^[1] ^[2]

On April Fools' Day 2021, Cloud Imperium teased the ship by introducing the invisible ship Origin 404, when the community was expecting the 400i reveal.^[3]^[4]

The 400i was officially revealed at CitizenCon 2951 on October 9, 2021 ^[5] and was released in Alpha 3.15.0. It was made available for in-game purchase with aUEC in Alpha 3.17.0.

The ship concept is designed by Long Ouyang (Freelance Concept Artist) with collaboration from Paul Jones.^[6]
