The two primary reasons would be the structural stabillity of something with that few contact points. Additionally, such a system would NOT be able to house separation clamps, which is a MAJOR part of the staging system as one may imagine. The actuators would be unprotected
2; The aft flaps are NOT covered in tiles on the leeward side. This is again an effect of lighting, which I've replicated in the render of the original post. I've seen some debate about this but it's just the way the scene lights are almost perpendicular to the flat surface.
The forward flaps; @elonmusk has stated that smaller forward flaps may be more beneficial for the vehicle when carrying payloads through reentry. These new flaps have a reduced surface area & a 10º sweep. This lines up with those expectations so I'm inclined to say it's accurate.
My take on @SpaceX's "Starship 2" vehicle upgrades. A full analysis of the SpaceX graphics, the rights, the wrongs, and improvisations it took to come to this point. 🧵👇 If you have any questions feel free to ask, I will be responding to as many of you as possible, as always.

While controversial, Delta IV was undoubtedly one of the coolest rockets ever. Setting itself on fire, building critical infrastructure, being a secret squirrel- what's not to love? Celebrate the legacy of this icon with our Delta IV poster! Get it at perigeeaero.com/shop!
So this is a fun idea I've just gotten. I'm seeing a lot of people discussing what the purpose of these black boxes are on the vehicle. I imagine they could possibly be some sort of new load point for mount arms? More below

My take on @SpaceX's "Starship 2" vehicle upgrades. A full analysis of the SpaceX graphics, the rights, the wrongs, and improvisations it took to come to this point. 🧵👇 If you have any questions feel free to ask, I will be responding to as many of you as possible, as always.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you like, I will try to answer as many of them as possible. Thanks for stopping by!
And to cap this all off; The proper terminology for these vehicles is JUST, "Starship 2, Starship 3" ect NOT V2, V3, Starship V2, ect. You may call it what you wish but the official terminology is JUST "Starship 2"
I'm also busy working on finishing up that Booster 10 descent simulation, which should be out within a week or so (?)
That about wraps up this thread on Starship 1 versus Starship 2. Two other potential topics for more threads are mentioned, and could become a reality in the near future.
Also notable are these little black structures pictured above. There's 4 of them, evenly spaced. Could be QDs, could be structural points for the new launch mount design, who knows at this point. Probably another baseless artistic decision, unsure of purpose, didn't include them.
/jacket, allows the blast protection to be all but completely removed. It will be interesting to see how the engines cope with being exposed directly to highspeed airflow. Also notably, the engine bays seem to be depicted differently on Starship 2 versus Starship 3. Unsure why.
Now at the base of the booster, where the engine shielding has been removed. Starship 2 and onwards utilize SpaceX's Raptor 3 engine which I may also make a separate thread on in future. The engine's reliability paired with the entire engine being in a regeneratively cooled/
Even further down it appears that the chines have changed (?) I'm just entirely unclear on this one if it is an artistic decision or if the chines are actually going to be configured like this.
Hopefully this means that this annoying quad stack of 2/3 sized rings on the aft end of the current generation booster are no more, and they are now replaced with normal height rings.
Next, the booster stretch. Similarly to the ship, it's misrepresented with an extra ring. This height also appears to include the engine bells as well for reference. The vehicle is extended by about 2/3 of a ring, or 1.3m.
Next, you'll notice the COMPLETE lack of external stringers on the SpaceX graphic. This is nearly impossible to do and would require a hell of an internal redesign to pull off. So I've kept the stringers and moved them to the least amount of space taken, but needed.
On my interpretation of this, I have them evenly spaced, but offset 45º from the YZ. This is because the booster still requires hardpoints for catching, and the size of the actuators versus the structural support for the pins would intersect if it was aligned on the YZ.
Another notable thing with this though, is that these fins *appear* to be longer. They already have plenty of control with the size of the current fins but I suppose it's possible that we could see larger fins in future as depicted. Additionally you may notice the spacing;
I don't even know what to say about these, they're just awful on the SpaceX graphic. They show 4 gridfins, evenly spaced, and centered on the YZ axis. To make this very short, the gridfins cannot be inside the propellant tank lol. I kept them at the same level as Starship 1.
However, these future boosters are expected to use those same eDomes as their forward domes. But they have to be underneath the gridfin actuators. Which brings us to our next point; The gridfins.
Moving just a little further down, inside the HSR, we see a dome-like structure. It appears that this would actually be the top of the LCH4 tank, which would be just entirely wrong. The top of the tank cannot exactly be used as a blast surface, A deflector is still needed.
This is why I took a little creative freedom and drew up my own sort of "optimized" design for the HSR. It's definitely not close to what we'll probably end up seeing built, pretty much only representative, I am by far not a structural engineer.
The two primary reasons would be the structural stabillity of something with that few contact points. Additionally, such a system would NOT be able to house separation clamps, which is a MAJOR part of the staging system as one may imagine. The actuators would be unprotected
Now, probably the point of most major controversy. The hotstaging ring. In the SpaceX graphic it is depicted as a Soviet style ring structure. While it looks a little odd at first glance, it is still depicted at the height of a normal ring. There's many reasons why this is wrong.
