The Starliner does have a payload bay behind the cockpit. This is large enough to accomodate a Delta II upper stage, with payload, and still have room to spare. However, there is no payload management system at this time. There are two attachment points on the G42, and both of them can be used to fit payloads in the bay. | The Starliner does have a payload bay behind the cockpit.

Caution MUST be used when using Universal Cargo Deck, as there have been several issues surrounding the use of UCD with the G42, such as uncontrolled movements and tremors while on the ground. | Caution MUST be used when using Universal Cargo Deck, as there have been several issues surrounding the use of UCD with the G42, such as uncontrolled movements and tremors while on the ground. | ||

There are several interesting features to the G42. One of them is the ability to "skip" long distances across the atmosphere when lightly loaded, such as after a failed orbital insertion. By leaving the wings in High Performance Cruise setting, you can traverse half the planet at speeds in excess of 5 km/s. | There are several interesting features to the G42.
