I assume the train would have an area for an operator

stoic barn
#

But also a button to call it, and send it

marsh mantle
#

I think it will be like an elevator

#

You get on it and go

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Yeah, kraken will take a long time

#

Although they've been teasing us a bit too much with kraken

#

so we might possibly be looking at 2028?

#

or 2027 at bare minimum

marsh mantle
# stoic barn or 2027 at bare minimum

I think theres a decent chance at a 2026 release, the reason i think that is because ironclad will be out next year, they have been teasing the kraken too much and also because i havent played star citizen long enough to actually get let down by it

#

The exterior looks mostly complete as well

stoic barn
#

Which means they haven’t probably even started on developing the ship itself

#

Just the looksies😅

#

I think 2026 would be THE BEST thing ever

#

But realistically, and not to get dissappointed, I’d say 2027 at least

#

Also they said few new surprises at the iae, any idea what that’s all about?

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

That’d be sick

marsh mantle
#

to paraphrase citizencon:

#

"This is a look at some, emphasis on some of the vehicles that we are working on in the next 12 months"

#

there will be definitely surprises

stoic barn
#

Guess we’ll see

marsh mantle
#

2025 would not be a bad time to drop it, as now it has the polaris as its equal

stoic barn
#

I don’t think they’re gonna mention kraken, but that’d be best case scenario for me

marsh mantle
#

i read it as "also they said a few new surprises on 2025" 💀

stoic barn
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Bottom

marsh mantle
#

oh right that

stoic barn
#

No idea what that’s about

marsh mantle
#

my money is on liberator

stoic barn
#

Possibly

marsh mantle
#

haha just kidding i wont have any after november 28th

stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

they did promise liberator would come with pyro a while ago

stoic barn
#

Hmm

marsh mantle
#

and its not a very complex ship, its just some pads and an automated turret

#

and a fairly simple interior

stoic barn
#

That’d be the lighter version of kraken

#

With repair bay right?

marsh mantle
#

Im pretty sure its only rearm and refuel

stoic barn
#

Could be

#

We got one in org

#

We’ll see

marsh mantle
#

I wouldnt complain if it could repair though

stoic barn
#

Nope, would make it more attractive

#

And if it does, it should be slightly faster than kraken

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Ah

marsh mantle
#

The turrets are mainly defensive, unlike the kraken

#

Also do you think the kraken will get point defenses?

stoic barn
quartz torrent
#

Kraken would honestly need pdc's considering the target it is

stoic barn
#

What are point defences😄

marsh mantle
#

They dont need blades they just work

quartz torrent
#

Torp magnet

stoic barn
#

There’s 4 remote turrets

#

Size 5

marsh mantle
#

Point defenses are turrets that cant be manned

#

Or controlled by a person

stoic barn
#

Oh

#

Interior or exterior

marsh mantle
#

They are purely defensive turrets meant for shooting down torpedoes

#

Exterior

stoic barn
#

Hope so

#

I know polaris will have em

marsh mantle
#

Im thinking if the polaris got a bunch of them last minute

#

Kraken will too

stoic barn
#

Probably, but it’s drake so idk

marsh mantle
#

Knowing drake it will probably be either like 2 massive point defense turrets

#

Or like a million size 2 point defenses

stoic barn
#

As long as it works

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Made by creative minds, no restrictions lol

quartz torrent
#

Drake is cheaper parts and a higher utility with a focus on firepower. Doesn't always mean they skimp out, just means they market to a fleet with a budget

stoic barn
#

It won’t have escape pods though

#

Be wary of that

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

I heard it wont

marsh mantle
#

They walked back the statement of it not having them

#

They said they will think avout it

stoic barn
#

Hmm, that was my only downside of the ship

marsh mantle
#

If not theres always the dragonfly bay

quartz torrent
#

If I remember right, they said they may give bridge crew escape pods but the rest would need to escape by other means

stoic barn
#

Also I think the dragonfly bay is dumb

marsh mantle
orchid goblet
#

dragonflys get 2 people over to another ship to board it

stoic barn
#

Could’ve done many other things, hope it’s gonna be modular

marsh mantle
#

Thats why im hoping it becomes a modular room

stoic barn
#

We think the same

#

Get outta my head

marsh mantle
#

Hopium overdosed minds think the same

stoic barn
#

True

marsh mantle
#

Im like a crackhead but for kraken news

stoic barn
orchid goblet
#

dragonfly delivers FPS boarders, shoot open a hatch drop 1 off or both go in

marsh mantle
#

Also what i love about the kraken that isnt mentioned in any other ship is that is has bespoke security systems on most doors

stoic barn
#

Yes

marsh mantle
#

I know it has them for the bridge and turrets but im not sure about other rooms

stoic barn
#

Controlling the security

marsh mantle
#

I believe engineering will have it too

#

Being able to funnel the boarders where you want will be cool

stoic barn
#

Interior auto-turrets would be a must

#

Cuz kraken has like 11 entry points or so

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Crazy

marsh mantle
#

But thats what the point defenses are for

stoic barn
#

Hopefully we can build them in

marsh mantle
#

They annihilate any drsgonflies that stray too close to the sun

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

What is purpose of dragonfly?

#

Can they fly in space?

marsh mantle
#

Yes

stoic barn
#

Oh that’s why Aeonov said that

marsh mantle
#

Dragonflies fly well in space

orchid goblet
#

dragonfly has 1 size 1 ship gun, and 2 seats, is a snub ship

stoic barn
#

Ahhh

#

I thought they were landspeeders mb lol

marsh mantle
#

I wouldnt call it a snub ship but it has the firepower to kill incoming boarders

marsh mantle
#

But i dont know how you would get them back inside

orchid goblet
#

it doesn't go up in gravity, but in space you have 6 degrees of freedom

stoic barn
#

They come in through roof

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Idk, maybe through structure or drydock no clue

#

I thought about that as well

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Maybe they’re supposed to be there for space

marsh mantle
#

I assume most kraken owners will have either an mpuv or atls stashed in the kraken

stoic barn
#

Or tractorbeam em

#

With atls

marsh mantle
#

Or do it the smart way

stoic barn
#

Freeeeebiiiirddd yeahhh

marsh mantle
#

And call in an ironclad to lift it in

stoic barn
#

Or that

marsh mantle
#

Efichensy

stoic barn
#

You should be able to use cutlass as well

#

To transport em in

#

I think you defenitely depend on something small and with enough space

marsh mantle
#

Id probably have like a zeus cl or something like that to run errands

stoic barn
#

Can do, but cutlass, drake😊

#

Idk I like drake so much

marsh mantle
#

Me too

#

I dont get the hate

stoic barn
#

Well, everyone has different taste

#

I dislike origin

#

People wouldnt get that

marsh mantle
#

I man looks wise yeah thats fair

#

But people make fun of it for using low quality everything which is just wrong

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

I prefer drake style in everything

marsh mantle
#

amen

stoic barn
#

Although

#

Outland is pretty cool too and argo

marsh mantle
#

Yeah

#

Im exited for the corsair looking ship shown at citizen con

stoic barn
#

I think most ships look better than misc at least, I am one of the few who dislike misc shape

marsh mantle
marsh mantle
#

Other than that its alright i guess

stoic barn
#

Yeah, good ship, but fat and ugly imo

marsh mantle
#

The only reason i picked it up is for the big firepower it offers in the turrets

stoic barn
#

Too round😂

marsh mantle
#

It seems like a good fleet support option until i can ccu to perseus

stoic barn
#

I get that, not a bad ship at all though

#

Freelancer as well, good starter ship

#

I just don’t like exterior shape haha

marsh mantle
#

Freelancer is alright its just that it hasnt gotten love from cig in forever

orchid goblet
marsh mantle
#

Not much stealth, it survives with speed

stoic barn
#

So drake, outland and argo are top looking man. For me.
Then RSI and Aegis
Then the rest lil

#

I dislike origin and misc design most

orchid goblet
#

The herald is the the "black van" vibe, has big screens for the second seat

marsh mantle
#

I like the exteriors of rsi

#

The polaris interior is nice too, but it looks like a minimalist apartment

#

Not like a military ship

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

I think carrack looks too much like it belongs to RSI brand really

rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

The firepower on the 890 is just sad

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

The small guns are so goofy

stoic barn
#

I like the idea of origin, and it’s nice as luxury, but not for my style and preference

rapid crag
rapid crag
#

And 4S3?!?

marsh mantle
#

S4 isnt very great for its size

#

Its not bad

#

But then again it is more of a touring ship so it makes sense

stoic barn
#

It’s classed as capital isn’t it

#

It shouldn’t be an assaulting ship anyway

rapid crag
#

Yes. And has 2 S4 shields to boot.

stoic barn
#

That’s like using a reclaimer to mine asteroids

#

Doesn’t make sense

rapid crag
#

Well if it gets attacked, it can defend itself.

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

True

#

And that’s good thing

marsh mantle
#

The 890 is a defensive ship, it has no offensive capabilities other than missiles

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Which is fair

marsh mantle
#

Im not saying thats a bad thing

rapid crag
#

It’s a Yacht.

stoic barn
#

U were talkin about shooting stuff and killing peeps with it, sounded more offense than defence

marsh mantle
#

I am aware, im just saying its a bit undergunned for its size class

stoic barn
#

But if you meant in defence then yeah makes sense

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Against cutters it would be a massacre

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Then again cutters are the equivilent of sending 100i's against an ironclad

stoic barn
#

Or will you be using it to massacre starter ships

rapid crag
rapid crag
stoic barn
#

You have a weird idea of this game😂

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

But aight

#

To each their own

#

You can’t say I have bad taste when all you wanna do is that brother

marsh mantle
#

It has a dual size 5 turret and a bunch of size 3's dotting the exterior

stoic barn
#

Good luck with everyone being ur enemy, and perma death of a spaceman😜

#

People will put you on a KOS list

marsh mantle
rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

You own it, with what backup

marsh mantle
#

A kraken with the correct fleet on its deck could take on a javelin

stoic barn
#

Easily

#

1 or 2 legionaires to swoop in

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

Bro I can’t take u serious sorry man

rapid crag
#

1 S12 torpedo and it’s over.

marsh mantle
stoic barn
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Or the point defenses would just intercept the torpedo

rapid crag
rapid crag
stoic barn
#

It just doesn’t include ships that are on jt

#

But the deck itself is shielded

marsh mantle
#

Its safe to say kraken will be covered in point defenses

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Its like the ship that would neef them most

stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

Also i believe the kraken and jav would detect each other at roughly similar yimes

#

My guess is that kraken will get capital size radar

#

It makes no sense for it to have a large

stoic barn
#

It’s Large radar for now

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

It is literally an aircraft carrier

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

When you get the jav it will be a demiliterised ship

stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

With civilian components and NO guns

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

No, trust me

marsh mantle
#

Also kraken can be upgraded to military components

stoic barn
#

3k is in trashcan if u play like that

marsh mantle
#

So thats not saying luch

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

I highly doubt you understand what kind of a ship you’re even flying

#

It won’t survive on it’s own man

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Not against fleets

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Nope

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

You will not get a military grade javelin, you will have to buy those weapons to get it up to spec

rapid crag
#

I counted 12 just on the bottom middle of the ship.

stoic barn
#

Good luck with the legionaires

marsh mantle
#

They are decommisioned javs

marsh mantle
#

Or hes just wrong

rapid crag
rapid crag
stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

Legionnaires can hack ships and shut down systems

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

They could probably just shut off your point defenses given enough time

stoic barn
#

Just hack a section

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

And boom, pds down, entry access

marsh mantle
#

Plus the guns would only need to be down for like 10-20 seconds

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

I feel like a legionnaire could make a window of entry for it self

marsh mantle
#

Legionnaire has a docking port on the nose for boarding

rapid crag
stoic barn
rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
#

Hangar is secure. Jav is actively moving and evading.

stoic barn
#

Legionaires are made for this

marsh mantle
#

We also do not know how hacking will work

stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

But legionnaires singular purpose in life is to board ships like javelins

#

So i assume it would be pretty good at it

stoic barn
#

You cannot evade with a JAV HAHAHAHA

#

It’s a whale😂😂😂

marsh mantle
#

Javelin is kind of just like a brawler ship

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

Its nerf or nothing, you cant really evade going like 100m/s

#

Probablt less actually

stoic barn
#

Yeah, but even that, it’s gonna be soook slow

rapid crag
#

Roll should make docking very difficult.

stoic barn
#

Rolling will take half a minute probably, what you see in game now is not the result it’s gona be

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

They will

marsh mantle
#

Or atleast some kind of pilot assist

stoic barn
#

Javelin will move extremely slow

stoic barn
#

Rolling wont help

#

Because rolling would be slow asf

marsh mantle
#

Let me break it down for you

#

A lone javelin

stoic barn
#

(With AI Blades only)

marsh mantle
#

Is the equivilent of sending out the bismark without any support ships

#

Its strong until someone actually tries to kill it

rapid crag
#

Fuel leaks aren’t a thing yet, right?

marsh mantle
#

No

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

But they could get a mantis in the area and slowly wittle you down until you perish

rapid crag
#

It might work.

marsh mantle
#

You are not shooting down a mantis without fighter support

#

Its just not happening

#

It has a jamming range of 25km

stoic barn
#

might 3000 dollars spent for thst

#

Idk man

#

I’d start working on backup plans

#

To make actual functional use of that ship

marsh mantle
#

My reccomendation is find an org

#

Jav is a good ship, but if you want an all in one package ship that can work without a supporting fleet

#

Get an idris or kraken since they were made to be able to mostly fend for themselved

#

If you include fighter compliment

stoic barn
#

The fleet Im in, would destroy a lonely javelin within 10/20 minutes, low/medium effort

#

If a javelin is actually used as a capital ship

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

It would be extremely difficult

stoic barn
marsh mantle
#

So a polaris could just swoop in and annihilate after like 3-4 volleys of torpedoes

stoic barn
#

1 idris

#

A perseus

#

Kraken

#

Fighter ships

marsh mantle
#

Im part of a big org thats split into an english and french side

stoic barn
#

Legionaire

#

I own a small org of 35 people rn

marsh mantle
#

French side has like 3 javelins and a bucket load of every capital ship, but i dont speak french so uhh

rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
stoic barn
rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
stoic barn
#

Ships?

stoic barn
#

Blade can’t fly fighters for you can they?

marsh mantle
#

I mean thosr will exist

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Uhhh idk man, never heard that

marsh mantle
#

Ai npcs will exist, i would love to yap about them but i dont think this is the place

#

Pilot npcs*

stoic barn
#

You can hire them?

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Didn’t know

#

Got a source, video

#

?

marsh mantle
#

If you want we could vc and i could tell you about them, over text it would tskr forever

#

Let me dig it up

marsh mantle
#

2 f7's could probably fit

#

If not then 2 buccaneers

stoic barn
#

You mean repair hangars?

marsh mantle
#

Yes

stoic barn
#

They’re pretty big

marsh mantle
#

If you want to repair you just launch one of the fighters to clear it for the other one

#

People seem to forget how much osha violations will improve the krakens viability

stoic barn
#

Yeah, as long as bring all resources

#

I think, honestly, if you fly a javelin lonely, you defeat the purpose of a capital ship, strategy talking, it’s gonna fail u

#

But that’s how I see it

#

Because it’d be a capital ship of… what… of nothing

#

Maybe a bunch of npc fighters that get shot down as soon as they leave hangar

#

It’s supposed to be a backing ship, that is there to deploy fighters, shoot large guns at nearby targets, oversee battle, etc

#

It’ll be so incredibly slow, fighters will be dancing around it

marsh mantle
violet gust
#

me dreaming of some cool T8A Bombers, hope they will be made to buy them or Upgrade the C vatiant

marsh mantle
violet gust
#

yeah

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

hold on

marsh mantle
#

you could easily fit more than one in here...

#

the hangar is about the size of the 2 small pads

stoic barn
#

Yeo

#

Look at 3d model

marsh mantle
#

you could maybe fit 3 or 4 but that depends on how far back the buccaneer can go

stoic barn
#

2 large hangars

#

Each as big as 2 pads

#

Maybe a bit shorter in depth

#

But it should be able to fit a bunch

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Yes

marsh mantle
#

and from the looks of it they widen as it goes in

#

you could probably fit more fighters by putting a wing into the doorway that connects the two hangars

#

but then it will be obsurd to crew that many so

#

that will be relagated to mpuv storage or something

stoic barn
#

Still, you can fit 2 fighters on each pad

rapid crag
#

Why do both Jav and Idris have MPUV Storage anyways?

stoic barn
#

And on the big deck idk how many

rapid crag
#

MPUVs suck!

marsh mantle
#

in space

#

ship to ship

#

without dedicated on ship tractor beams

rapid crag
#

315P or c1.

marsh mantle
#

even then an mpuv is better than a ship mounted tractor beam

marsh mantle
#

im trying to look at it from a positive angle

#

but its just stupid when you can save the hangar space and use the mpuv

rapid crag
marsh mantle
marsh mantle
#

it is a snub fighter

#

that is like calling a fury ass because a 100i has a qd and is bigger and can hold cargo

#

they are completely different ships

#

mpuv is just a smarter choice, because its a pilot controlled tractor beam

#

and it also saves on hangar space because it has its own slot in the ship

rapid crag
#

Still though. Am I really expected to load 4K SCU with MPUVs alone?

marsh mantle
#

and with the assistance of the cargo ships and atls mechs oboard

#

since i assume something like an ironclad will be bringing in the cargo

stoic barn
#

He’s playing solo

marsh mantle
#

so with the combined manpower of the ironclads 2 tractor beams, and the mpuv it would be a quick process

rapid crag
marsh mantle
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Yep

#

Cheap asf

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

ever

stoic barn
#

It fits easily in c2

marsh mantle
#

the thing can fit almost anywhere a person can fit

stoic barn
#

And even smaller ships

marsh mantle
#

its the size of a 8scu box

#

(when theres nobody using it)

#

also atls' will be used for cargo arrangement and management

stoic barn
#

You can fit dozens if not hundreds of atls in javelin

rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
#

No? But an 8SCU box can be tractored in.

#

An ATLS has to walk.

#

And the Jav has human sized halls.

marsh mantle
#

atls lives in the cargo deck

#

it wouldnt need to go anywhere

stoic barn
#

Also, your main income would be extorting people

#

So idk how you’ll pay for anything

rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
#

Kinda self explanatory ain’t it?

marsh mantle
#

its not like you cant tractor beam it

#

as long as theres no operator inside of it

stoic barn
rapid crag
marsh mantle
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

so

stoic barn
#

No one’s gonna take it serious

#

A solo javelin

#

Maybe solo people who dont have much

marsh mantle
#

also atls is an abomination of vehicle/player

#

but its technically a vehicle

rapid crag
rapid crag
rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

every vehicle can get tractor beamed

#

as long as shields are down

#

(atls has no shields to speak of)

rapid crag
#

Whats to stop me from abducting someone actively using their Atls and making them do work?

#

Or abducting someone on any unshielded vehicle for that matter.

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Spooky, let me tell u something.

marsh mantle
#

and i dont think you can tractor beam an atls when its manned

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

size 0

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

You’ll probably be put on blacklists by organizations with this gameplay style, groups will dedicate to take away every bit of fun you might have

#

They’ll keep coming for u

marsh mantle
#

how will you manage to catch a hoverbike with tractor beam

stoic barn
#

This is not the right game to do this

marsh mantle
#

and ok you got the bike, the guy can just jump off

#

and you steal yourself a 20k bike

#

yummers

stoic barn
#

Orgs will keep destroying you, not giving you an ounce of freedom

marsh mantle
#

then get an org to help you do that

stoic barn
#

Then play gta or sum lol

rapid crag
#

Rockstar bad.

stoic barn
#

This aint the game for those wild ideas

#

Theres some dedicated groups here

rapid crag
#

I am in some of them.

stoic barn
#

Who would love to hunt people like u down for sport

rapid crag
#

I will base myself out of their stations.

stoic barn
#

They’ll keep coming and coming, destroying you with every dedication in order to stop you from fucking about. Until you give up and leave the game

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

Cuz you’re not the only one with a javelin

#

I myself am starting to consider it, because our org dedicates in destroying criminals and pirates

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

Its a persistent universe

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

Why wouldnt it

rapid crag
#

You’r saying an Org is going to actively try to stop me from doing that?

marsh mantle
#

yes because the prospect of jacking a fully bladed javelin is pretty sweet

#

or atleast destroying one and scraping it

stoic barn
#

Plenty of orgs

#

Will do that

marsh mantle
#

and since you are putting a massive target on your back by saying you will have no actual people onbaord

stoic barn
#

Bro, stop the axt

#

Are u trolling or real

marsh mantle
#

npc's will be alright at gunning but they will be garbage at engineering probably

#

who will fix your ship

rapid crag
stoic barn
#

Sometimes I wonder if you’re actually believing this’ll work or are just trying to troll about haha

stoic barn
#

Im not trying to be a dick right, just being realistic to ur ideas

marsh mantle
#

also oh my god how rapidly are you switching profile pictures

#

werent you red like 2 minutes ago

rapid crag
#

I’m not?

stoic barn
#

Because it will probably really dissappoint you when it unfolds

rapid crag
marsh mantle
#

to me your blue

rapid crag
#

Am I not?

marsh mantle
#

discord just cannot keep up i guess

rapid crag
marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

He’s red for me

rapid crag
#

You are Delulu.

marsh mantle
#

i probably just need to restart discord

#

anyways

rapid crag
#

Ok.

#

Well, my lunch is here.

stoic barn
#

Aight man have a good one, dont’t forget to inform us when javelin’s ingame how your plan is working

#

Really curious about that

marsh mantle
#

anyways

#

life is roblox kraken

stoic barn
#

Have I mentioned I like the kraken?

marsh mantle
#

no you have not

stoic barn
#

Lol

marsh mantle
#

have you heard of our lord and saviour kraken ?

stoic barn
#

Pirate owned krakens aren’t real, they can’t hurt me

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

😢

marsh mantle
#

also piracy isnt real

#

it is merely

#

liberation of cargo

#

kind of like robin hood but he doesnt give anything to the poor

stoic barn
#

Heavy release

#

Without sexual context

That’s quite the cargo capacitt

ruby belfry
#

With the polaris releasing at IAE - what are the chances it becomes the new loaner for the Kraken (instead of the Hammerhead)

marsh mantle
#

Its a closer match to the kraken than the hammerhead

violet gust
#

hm, but do they change loaners all the time?

quartz torrent
stoic barn
#

Knowing cig😅

#

But it would be extremely nice

marsh mantle
ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

and then kraken comes out

ruby belfry
stoic barn
#

I mean a polaris OR ironclad would be more believable

#

They wont give you a ship of bigger value so no way itll be idris + orher capital

#

That’d be crazy

stoic barn
#

I think it will not have 2 capitals though as loaners

marsh mantle
marsh mantle
#

iirc idris m value is around 75 less than kraken

#

I used the wiki because the rsi website says the M is only 1000

stoic barn
#

I don’t think that’s gonna happen

#

Not saying I wouldnt want to though, but I keep my expectations low

ruby belfry
#

I could see Cat getting replaced by Ironclad and HH getting replaced by Polaris, then that getting replaced by Idris

marsh mantle
#

Ironclad isnt great combat wisr

static crystal
#

Im curious if anyone thinks we will see new info on the Kraken later this month on Drake day?

ruby belfry
#

probably not until after the Ironclad is released

marsh mantle
#

Next year invictus or iae is plausible though

static crystal
#

But i wants needs it now lol

marsh mantle
#

My guess is them showing the kraken at either invictus or iae 2026

#

And then a release on the next big ship sale

#

Kind of like they did with the polaris

stoic barn
#

But it's 0.1% chance of happening

rapid crag
#

Is this the train? Can i run people over with it?

ruby belfry
rapid crag
ruby belfry
#

thats just the floor pattern i'm pretty sure... IF the tram goes past there, it'll be small - not like the ones you ride in the cities

ruby belfry
# rapid crag

also - it even states "Hab01" beside the door, not "Tram" if your thinking that part is the tram

rapid crag
#

And through habitation??

ruby belfry
#

nope. Habitation is an bit higher than where the tram runs through

#

Looks like there might be stairs going down from Habitation (2) to where the tram(8) is suppose to be possible

#

looks like either different floors, or habitation has a flight of stairs down to that level maybe if they aren't completely different floors

#

Looks like that blue line that the tram is on goes under the habs though, to the cargo bay

Also what export said

marsh mantle
#

chat is this real

#

chat

marsh mantle
#

is this their first time mentioning this or has this been here on previous sales?

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
ruby belfry
#

well.. they are actively working on the ironclad right now.. so Im hoping someone is at least looking at the kraken if nothing else lol

marsh mantle
#

they have been teasing it and mentioning it an awful lot

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

so theres no way they dont have it planned in the not so far future

ruby belfry
#

true. Im going guess either IAE 2026 or at the latest, drakecon 2027

marsh mantle
#

my guess

#

is drake con 2026 will be the kraken being shown

#

but not flyable

#

kind of like the polaris in this years invictus

#

and then a very soon ™️ launch

ruby belfry
#

I could see that happening. They'll definitely do something for the kraken at drakecon

marsh mantle
#

I dont have pictures

#

but at the end of the contested zone

#

after like reaching the end of it after like 2 hours

#

theres a medium hangar for you to leave

#

and in that hangar there is a very small kraken isignia on the wall

ruby belfry
#

oh shit, really? hmm.. I may need to try the contested zones lol

marsh mantle
#

i cant confirm but it sounds believeable

#

its very difficult

ruby belfry
#

Ill likely fail miserably lol

marsh mantle
#

like you need to be good to make it through since it is literally the whole station you have to fight thru

#

small price to pay to see the kraken logo ingame

ruby belfry
#

true. Im gonna give it a try, probably faiol, but on the off chance I succeed - I wanna see that just because.. reasons lol

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

Chat, call me schizoprenic but i think they did something to the kraken holo view

#

i do not remember this artifact being here on the deck

violet gust
#

so drake day, nothing new about kraken?

ruby belfry
#

not this year

marsh mantle
#

Hear me out

#

Kraken tomorrow

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

i checked the wayback machines last snapshot which was on november 22nd of this year, it was in concept

#

krakalakin time might unironically come 2026

ruby belfry
#

wait.. is it in production or just concept? don't give me false hope now!

marsh mantle
#

In production is not full on production but it is on the backburner

#

It is in the same situation as the perseus

#

So i assume someone is working on it

#

Active production is when its proper all hands on deck

#

Atleast that is the way i interperet in production

#

Cause i dont really know the actual difference between in production and active production

ruby belfry
#

Probably working on shared assets between it and the Iron clad, as thats in production right now

marsh mantle
#

Maybe

#

Either way, i think we are approaching hell yeah territory

ruby belfry
#

I think you may be right. once they have the IronClad done, its easy for them to start on the Kraken.

marsh mantle
#

What i am hoping for is in the balancing phase it gets a capital sized radar

#

Since yknow

#

Its a spacecraft carrier

thick sandal
#

how much time do you think there will be between base and privateer release, if any at all? think we will get both at the same time, or a gap release like the Zeus/other ship variants due to different assets/systems

ruby belfry
#

We'll get the base before the Privateer. Might ge tthe Privateer before the BMM still though. lol

thick sandal
#

more salt in the wound i reckon

marsh mantle
#

Mainly because they would have to remake half of the interior

#

And apperently there will he functions to sell fuel

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

And if i remember the qna mentioned something about it having a fuel selling system thats bespoke to the privateer or something along those lines

ruby belfry
#

oh.. thought that was just for refueling your own ships.. shit.. I see what your saying.. nvm me lol

marsh mantle
ruby belfry
#

the abse can refuel as well, thats why it has the extra tanks. for refueling the fleet

ruby belfry
marsh mantle
#

Im just guessing since it has something to make it possible to sell refuel services

#

I dont really know what else would make life easier

#

Also do bear in mind i am a professional schizo so i may be missremembering

ruby belfry
#

could just refuel as if its your own shipn and tell the person to send ya some credits. I cant see the privateer having a fuel sell option like the starfarer without the extra tanks

marsh mantle
#

Dont even know what kind of number that is but if the kraken has similar amounts im sure refuelling ships wont be an issue

ruby belfry
#

I dont think it will be na issue, I jsut dont think it will be a feature on the privateer, since it only has its own reserve

marsh mantle
#

Maybe

#

Ill double check the privateer qna later and see if i was schizophrenic or not

marsh mantle
#

Ah

#

I might have missunderstood what was written here

ruby belfry
#

ok, so both will be able to, just the abse will ahve more fuel to do it with since it has the extra tanks

violet gust
marsh mantle
#

more hopium, yummers

marsh mantle
#

guys hear me out, what if the kraken gets a couple smaller sized multipurpose drones, something like the M3-A drone since to my knowlage the only way to repair or refuel ships will either be by hand or by drone and i think i know the kraken is way too based for hand repair and refuel to be the only option

ruby belfry
#

The internal hangars are the "Repair stations" - so.. by hand is likely the option.

marsh mantle
#

Anyways

#

Kraken second to none!1!

Star Citizen Wiki

The Drake Kraken is designated as a Multi-role Light Carrier. With comfortable habs for a full crew, mammoth cargo capacity, and enough armament to blow even the most daunting frigate out of the sky. This self-sustaining flying fortress is the most ambitious project Drake has ever undertaken, and a testament to the empowerment of the people.

stoic barn
#

This is not from CIG right?

#

So how is this confirming it's current state? Or does it fetch from CIGs status

#

idk, if we can be 100% sure that star citizen has put it in production already

marsh mantle
stoic barn
marsh mantle

i doubt they would show it off and pay attention to it just for "hell yeah"

marsh mantle
stoic barn
stoic barn
#

But I doubt 2026 will be the year. I'm thinking 2027 or 2028

#

the more you think about it being close the more it's gonna eat away at you

marsh mantle
#

Work smarter not harder

stoic barn
#

lol, well.. I hope 2026 of course. I just don't think it'll be it.

quartz torrent
amber ember
#

everything shown is the state its advertised in

#

so showing the Kraken in Nyx thats in greybox

#

like my guess
kraken is set to release in either 2026 or with Nyx

marsh mantle
#

Honestly i dont think the kraken being in greybox should be such a massive shock, because day 1, first time we saw the kraken its exterior was already mostly complete

amber ember
#

ye

#

the most problematic thing about the Kraken would be the interiour

#

especially the dragonfly bay and the internal tram

marsh mantle
rapid crag
marsh mantle
amber ember
#

How would the cargo hold work landed?

marsh mantle
#

Its either a big door or an elevator idk

amber ember
#

my guess would be a ramp

marsh mantle
#

Im pretty sure theres concept art where its just a big door, hold on

amber ember
#

there is the 2 hangars

#

with the ramp underneath

marsh mantle
#

Maybe

amber ember
marsh mantle
#

From this concept i dont know if thats landing gear or a ramp/elevator

amber ember
#

yes

#

ramp

#

at the side

marsh mantle
#

Oh nice

#

My only question how do you get the dragonflies up there

#

Into the dragonfly bay

amber ember
#

maybe here?

marsh mantle
#

I dont see any entrance from this picture of the bay other than the roof

amber ember
#

also
we have a fully textured Kraken since 2020

marsh mantle
#

Hopefully you will be able to chose if you want to deploy the ramp or just open it up for ship to ship transfer like here

amber ember
#

im just waiting for IAE 2955 to show the teasers

#

one being the Kraken

#

with Citcon hyping it up this year

marsh mantle
marsh mantle
amber ember
#

showing it in base building trailer

#

landing in a base

#

with a cutlass landing on it

marsh mantle
#

Hear me out, remove the dragonfly bay and add a drone bay

amber ember
#

modularity maybe?

marsh mantle
#

Man it blocked my gif

#

The dragonfly bay seems like the ideal modular room

amber ember
#

dragonfly bay module and drone module

marsh mantle
#

Since its very niche

marsh mantle
#

Even like small ones

#

Just so it can do automated hull repair and ship recovery

amber ember
#

also love how the kraken was choosen by 37%

#

of 3 ships being

#

A: The Vulture

#

B: The Corsair

#

C: The Krakne

#

like

marsh mantle
#

Its as simple as that

amber ember
#

"Choose the last Drake ship ship" ahhh pull

marsh mantle
amber ember
#

it won with 37%, no?

#

no it was really was 2nd

#

who won?

#

vulture or corsair

marsh mantle
#

Hold on ill check the poll

#

I might be wrong

amber ember
#

it was vulture

#

1st Vulture
2nd Krakne
3rd Corsair

stoic barn
# rapid crag 2026. Before SQ42.

Its confirmed that javelin is first capital ship after sq42 (at least thats what they said) so I dont think so since javelin has priority

marsh mantle
#

I think they said the idris and jav would be delivered alognside squadron didint they?

stoic barn
#

Only idriz

#

Javelin will come right after squadrons release as first project

#

So the kraken will be queued after that

marsh mantle
#

Doesnt the jav have most of its interior since its a part of squadron?

#

I remember hearing that we spend a lot of time in another ship thats not the uees stanton (the idris)

#

I forgot what ship it is though

stoic barn
#

It does, but it’s not multiplayer ready I think.

#

Remember 100s of people will fly it

marsh mantle
#

Maybe

marsh mantle
#

Me and my org tried to have a friendly org battle

#

4 polarises and fighters

#

The server crashed as soon as the first shots started flying

stoic barn
#

Hahaha

#

Fcking hell, imagine a large scale fleet battle

marsh mantle
#

Wirhout dynamic server meshing i doubt its possible

#

Unless you do it right at the border of 2 servers lol

stoic barn
#

Yep

#

We’ll have to sit tight and see

#

Im rooting for 2026 btw

#

But realistically idk if thatll be true

marsh mantle
#

I think its plausible

#

Since a very large marketting point of the ironclad was the fact that kraken comes after it

stoic barn
#

Everything’s plausible but the game’s code is one big mess I imagine

marsh mantle
#

And from the looks of it they are going to knock it out in a year flat

#

Probably not the assault thougu

stoic barn
#

Ironclad will be a ship that’s aimed for this year

#

Same as base building

#

But it’s been real quiet

marsh mantle
#

My guess is that its drake defense con, cause when we saw the ironclad was already in greybox

#

I keep mixing up white and greybox, but im pretty sure greybox comes before whitebox

stoic barn
#

November

#

Maybe end of this year will give us the goodies

#

Although they did say base building early 2025

#

Well, it’s been really quiet about that hahaha

marsh mantle
#

They did say in the monthly report that base building is in validation

#

Which to my understanding means its effectively done i think

stoic barn
#

We’ll see

amber ember
#

Its set to release during IAE

willow plover

Love me my Krakoes...!! Soon TM

marsh mantle
stoic barn
#

just way too addictive to look at ur future ship

marsh mantle
#

The golem is clearly a teaser for the kraken, think about it:

The golem, a being from Jewish folklore, is an artificial creature made of clay and brought to life by mystical means. Though originally created to serve and protect, it often becomes uncontrollable, reflecting humanity’s struggle with power over its own creations.

A similar theme appears in Frankenstein’s monster, influenced by the golem legend. Frankenstein’s creature, like the golem, is an artificial being that ultimately escapes its creator’s control, showing the dangers of playing with forces beyond human understanding.

This idea of artificial beings extends back even further to Greek mythology, where Talos, a giant bronze automaton, was crafted to defend the island of Crete. Like the golem, Talos was a protector, yet he was also a force of destruction when faced by outsiders.

Talos, patrolling the coastline of Crete, connects us to another realm of mythical threats: sea monsters. Greek sailors feared creatures like Scylla and Charybdis, monstrous entities lurking in the depths, capable of destroying entire ships.

These fears of the sea carried into Norse mythology, where sailors spoke of the Hafgufa, a massive beast believed to be so large it could be mistaken for an island. Over time, such myths blended with sailors' real encounters with giant squids, leading to the legend of the kraken—a monstrous cephalopod capable of dragging ships into the abyss.
