Description (Specifications)[edit]
A box, cube, or slab hull is a relatively unstreamlined hull that efficiently clumps craft components into a solid, relatively easily protected mass.
One of the biggest misconception about these hulls is that they will be shaped like perfect boxes or cubes, which is often not the case. Many such hulls only possess that as the basic hull shape with many fairings, control surfaces, protuberances, and other additions breaking up the basic box, cube, or slab shape.
