Did I... only dream about massive ship hulls?

I've not been playing GCII in a long time, but now, when I saw that Steam sold the game and all expansions for an extremely good price, I couldn't resist.

I've been playing the game quite a lot in the past few days, and it was awesome, but something seemed... off.

Wasn't there a hull class after "huge"? Weren't there "massive" ship hulls? At first, I thought it was because I was using the Drath tech tree, but in the ship designer, the other races seemed to have no access to massive hulls as well.

When I looked around the internet for answers, surprisingly I couldn't find references to massive hulls at all, at least after a cursory search.

So... were there really massive ship hulls in the game, or were they just a dream?

If they really existed, why were they removed?

Huge has been the biggest hull size as long as I have played the game. Maybe there were bigger ones during the beta, but I wasn't here at that time.

Still, could it be, that you are thinking of "Massive Scale Building"? That's the name of the tech that unlocks huge hulls.

I don't think so. I distinctively remember massive hulls, that looked a lot different from what is huge these days.

I really liked them since most of them were relatively "smooth", so they were easier to costumize than their smaller counterparts.

Honestly, I'm a bit shocked right now. I didn't even play the beta, and considering your join date, you should have known about the massive hulls if they existed. I'm... fairly sure they did.

Mysterious.
