That'd be nice
But also a button to call it, and send it
And also like that
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
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
Itâs not on the developer tracker
Which means they havenât probably even started on developing the ship itself
Just the looksiesđ
I think 2026 would be THE BEST thing ever
But realistically, and not to get dissappointed, Iâd say 2027 at least
Also they said few new surprises at the iae, any idea what thatâs all about?
i'd say exteior is a decent chunk of the work
as in surprise ships?
That we donât know of? Maybe idris
Thatâd be sick
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
Guess weâll see
2025 would not be a bad time to drop it, as now it has the polaris as its equal
I donât think theyâre gonna mention kraken, but thatâd be best case scenario for me
oh i am an idiot you said iae not 2025
i read it as "also they said a few new surprises on 2025" đ
Yeah lemme grab pic
i believe they did say there are still some gaps of information in the tracker
oh right that
No idea what thatâs about
my money is on liberator
Possibly
haha just kidding i wont have any after november 28th

they did promise liberator would come with pyro a while ago
Hmm
and its not a very complex ship, its just some pads and an automated turret
and a fairly simple interior
Im not sure if liberator has repair capabilities
Im pretty sure its only rearm and refuel
I wouldnt complain if it could repair though
Nope, would make it more attractive
And if it does, it should be slightly faster than kraken
From what i can understand its meant to be more of a fighter ferry
Ah
The turrets are mainly defensive, unlike the kraken
Also do you think the kraken will get point defenses?
What are those?
Kraken would honestly need pdc's considering the target it is
What are point defencesđ
They are the small automated turrets that shoot fighters that get too close and missilrs
They dont need blades they just work
Torp magnet
Probably, but itâs drake so idk
Knowing drake it will probably be either like 2 massive point defense turrets
Or like a million size 2 point defenses
As long as it works
It always does, because its drake interplanetaryâ˘ď¸
Made by creative minds, no restrictions lol
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
It will
I heard it wont
They walked back the statement of it not having them
They said they will think avout it
Hmm, that was my only downside of the ship
If not theres always the dragonfly bay
If I remember right, they said they may give bridge crew escape pods but the rest would need to escape by other means
Also I think the dragonfly bay is dumb
Oh definitely
dragonflys get 2 people over to another ship to board it
Couldâve done many other things, hope itâs gonna be modular
Thats why im hoping it becomes a modular room
Hopium overdosed minds think the same
True
Im like a crackhead but for kraken news
Wdym?
Everytime I see kraken in citizencons or whatever trailer, I get spasms
dragonfly delivers FPS boarders, shoot open a hatch drop 1 off or both go in
Also what i love about the kraken that isnt mentioned in any other ship is that is has bespoke security systems on most doors
Yes
I know it has them for the bridge and turrets but im not sure about other rooms
Controlling the security
I believe engineering will have it too
Being able to funnel the boarders where you want will be cool
Should be the case
Interior auto-turrets would be a must
Cuz kraken has like 11 entry points or so
It will not have them unfortunately
Crazy
But thats what the point defenses are for
Hopefully we can build them in
They annihilate any drsgonflies that stray too close to the sun
I assume we will, since ground bases will need interior defenses
Yes
Oh thatâs why Aeonov said that
Dragonflies fly well in space
dragonfly has 1 size 1 ship gun, and 2 seats, is a snub ship
I wouldnt call it a snub ship but it has the firepower to kill incoming boarders
It can be a landspeeder too
But i dont know how you would get them back inside
it doesn't go up in gravity, but in space you have 6 degrees of freedom
They come in through roof
I know but in atmosphete thst would be impossiblr
Mfw i have to construct a ramp just to recover my dragonfly
Maybe theyâre supposed to be there for space
I assume most kraken owners will have either an mpuv or atls stashed in the kraken
Or do it the smart way
Freeeeebiiiirddd yeahhh
And call in an ironclad to lift it in
Or that
Efichensy
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
Id probably have like a zeus cl or something like that to run errands
Corsair my beloved
Me too
I dont get the hate
I man looks wise yeah thats fair
But people make fun of it for using low quality everything which is just wrong
Origin vs drake will be a forever rivalry
I prefer drake style in everything
amen
I think most ships look better than misc at least, I am one of the few who dislike misc shape
My hopium senses tell me it will be a foreward scout ship, kind of like the rambler scout but bigger
The nose shape on the starlancer is dreadful
Other than that its alright i guess
Yeah, good ship, but fat and ugly imo
The only reason i picked it up is for the big firepower it offers in the turrets
Too roundđ
It seems like a good fleet support option until i can ccu to perseus
I get that, not a bad ship at all though
Freelancer as well, good starter ship
I just donât like exterior shape haha
Freelancer is alright its just that it hasnt gotten love from cig in forever
but I am hoping the Herald is good at radar as well as stealth and speed for data running
Im pretty sure the herald is just supposed to function like an sr 71
Not much stealth, it survives with speed
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
The herald is the the "black van" vibe, has big screens for the second seat
I like the exteriors of rsi
The polaris interior is nice too, but it looks like a minimalist apartment
Not like a military ship
You have bad taste!
I think carrack looks too much like it belongs to RSI brand really
Nyeh!
KILL IT
That is kinda true but it has that nose canopy.
It is coming to kill you.
It and what turrets
Everyone can have opinion man
The firepower on the 890 is just sad
It and 8 S4 missiles.
The small guns are so goofy
I like the idea of origin, and itâs nice as luxury, but not for my style and preference
It has many turrets and twice as many shields as any other ship currently in game.
S4 isnt very great for its size
Its not bad
But then again it is more of a touring ship so it makes sense
Yes. And has 2 S4 shields to boot.
Well if it gets attacked, it can defend itself.
Yes but the shields mean nothing if you cant put out the hurt
The 890 is a defensive ship, it has no offensive capabilities other than missiles
4 S4 and 4S3 remote do hurt. 32 S3 missiles as well.
Which is fair
And?
Im not saying thats a bad thing
Itâs a Yacht.
U were talkin about shooting stuff and killing peeps with it, sounded more offense than defence
I am aware, im just saying its a bit undergunned for its size class
But if you meant in defence then yeah makes sense
*Peeps in starter ships. Especially Cutters.
Against cutters it would be a massacre
What other civilian ship has more guns in its class? Hull E? Hull D? Hull C? Orion?
Thatâs what I like to hear!
Then again cutters are the equivilent of sending 100i's against an ironclad
Do you have people on the 890J?
Or will you be using it to massacre starter ships
Reclaimer i guess
The 100is would win.
Nope.
This.
What does it have?
You have a weird idea of this gameđ
Give me a moment
But aight
To each their own
You canât say I have bad taste when all you wanna do is that brother
It has a dual size 5 turret and a bunch of size 3's dotting the exterior
Good luck with everyone being ur enemy, and perma death of a spacemanđ
People will put you on a KOS list
How many times can you regenerate before you swith characters?
What!
No clue
Is what?
I own a Jav. Good luck.
Depends on the tier of medbed.
I will not need it
You own it, with what backup
A kraken with the correct fleet on its deck could take on a javelin
Blades and NPCs.
Bro I canât take u serious sorry man
The deck is unshielded. Only the ships on deck have shields.
1 S12 torpedo and itâs over.
They would be long gone before it hits
The deck is shielded
Would they?
Or the point defenses would just intercept the torpedo
Since when?
Does Kraken have point defenses?
Not confirmed but the polaris got them added like a month before release
Its safe to say kraken will be covered in point defenses
Thatâs⌠the same thing!
Its like the ship that would neef them most
Yeah but you think Iâll have any ships in deck when taking on a jav
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
Itâs Large radar for now
I would be the one hunting Krakens.
It is literally an aircraft carrier
True. But Kraken has civilian components.
So does jav?
When you get the jav it will be a demiliterised ship
Yeah, youâre gonna regret ever spending that money cuz you wonât survive 10 minutes on your own. Be real man
With civilian components and NO guns
No it wonât.
Yes. Yes I will.
No, trust me
Also kraken can be upgraded to military components
3k is in trashcan if u play like that
So thats not saying luch
It has components. That was walked back years ago.
I highly doubt that.
Maybe with components yes, but it will come with either no guns, or not good guns
I highly doubt you understand what kind of a ship youâre even flying
It wonât survive on itâs own man
That is so you cant dominate wipe day 1
Not against fleets
It is assumed to come with its standard gear.
Nope
It is specifically meant to do that. And covered in over 20 Pd turrets.
You will not get a military grade javelin, you will have to buy those weapons to get it up to spec
I counted 12 just on the bottom middle of the ship.
Good luck with the legionaires
They are decommisioned javs
I was told military grade.
Im sorry but that person was lying to you
Or hes just wrong
PD for the win.
On the website.
Shooting down pds for the win
Legionnaires can hack ships and shut down systems
Huh??
I highly doubt that. Itâs an entire Jav.
They could probably just shut off your point defenses given enough time
I would agree, but you wouldnt have room for cybersecurity blades because of all of the gunner blades
And boom, pds down, entry access
Plus the guns would only need to be down for like 10-20 seconds
Is⌠that a thing?
Entry for what?
I feel like a legionnaire could make a window of entry for it self

Legionnaire has a docking port on the nose for boarding
What about the larger guns?
Itâs a boarding ship, entry to the ship
Where is it boarding?
Through a docking port
Hangar is secure. Jav is actively moving and evading.
Legionaires are made for this
We also do not know how hacking will work
At what speed
But legionnaires singular purpose in life is to board ships like javelins
So i assume it would be pretty good at it
Javelin is kind of just like a brawler ship
Max?
I just⌠start rolling.
Its nerf or nothing, you cant really evade going like 100m/s
Probablt less actually
Yeah, but even that, itâs gonna be soook slow
Roll.
Roll should make docking very difficult.
Rolling will take half a minute probably, what you see in game now is not the result itâs gona be
I assume legionnaire will have autopilot that will compensate
They will
Or atleast some kind of pilot assist
Javelin will move extremely slow
Huh??
(With AI Blades only)
Is the equivilent of sending out the bismark without any support ships
Its strong until someone actually tries to kill it
Fuel leaks arenât a thing yet, right?
No

But they could get a mantis in the area and slowly wittle you down until you perish
It might work.
Mantis had S1 shields.
You are not shooting down a mantis without fighter support
Its just not happening
It has a jamming range of 25km
might 3000 dollars spent for thst
Idk man
Iâd start working on backup plans
To make actual functional use of that ship
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
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
I assume pd's could be distracted with regular missiles
It would be extremely difficult
We got 2 polarises
So a polaris could just swoop in and annihilate after like 3-4 volleys of torpedoes
Im part of a big org thats split into an english and french side
French side has like 3 javelins and a bucket load of every capital ship, but i dont speak french so uhh
Jav has a hangar for a reason.
English side is comparible to yours
Whoâs flying then
Cool, mine is fully english as well
It has around 20 of them for a reason.
Kraken and its fighter compliment would tear any fighter you could deploy
The NPCs?
Ships?
Kraken has not many.
Blade canât fly fighters for you can they?
I mean thosr will exist
Yes?
NPCs can.
If your smart it can carry 8 fighters if your not counting the big main dexk
Uhhh idk man, never heard that
Ai npcs will exist, i would love to yap about them but i dont think this is the place
Pilot npcs*
You can hire them?
Its a whole system
If you want we could vc and i could tell you about them, over text it would tskr forever
Let me dig it up
How??
Brb.
Internal hangars are big
2 f7's could probably fit
If not then 2 buccaneers
You mean repair hangars?
Yes
Theyâre pretty big
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
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, itâs gonna fail u
But thatâs how I see it
Because itâd be a capital ship of⌠what⌠of nothing
Maybe a bunch of npc fighters that get shot down as soon as they leave hangar
Itâs supposed to be a backing ship, that is there to deploy fighters, shoot large guns at nearby targets, oversee battle, etc
Itâll be so incredibly slow, fighters will be dancing around it
Hammerheads already struggle and that thing is made to kill fighters
me dreaming of some cool T8A Bombers, hope they will be made to buy them or Upgrade the C vatiant
it could be like xenothreat with the f7a
yeah
They showed a single Buccaneer fitting.
i mean yeah but they also show just 2 cutlasses on the deck
hold on
And�
you could easily fit more than one in here...
the hangar is about the size of the 2 small pads
you could maybe fit 3 or 4 but that depends on how far back the buccaneer can go
2 large hangars
Each as big as 2 pads
Maybe a bit shorter in depth
But it should be able to fit a bunch
Yes
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
Still, you can fit 2 fighters on each pad
Why do both Jav and Idris have MPUV Storage anyways?
And on the big deck idk how many
MPUVs suck!
how do you manage cargo
in space
ship to ship
without dedicated on ship tractor beams
315P or c1.
even then an mpuv is better than a ship mounted tractor beam
thats just stupid
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
How in what way?
QD and higher capacity.
it can move
mpuv is supposed to act as a moving tractor beam
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
Still though. Am I really expected to load 4K SCU with MPUVs alone?
yeah
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
Heâs playing solo
so with the combined manpower of the ironclads 2 tractor beams, and the mpuv it would be a quick process
I donât have ATLS.
im aware
its like 75k in game
Can it fit onto a Jav? Or a supporting ship to get it onto a Jav.
have you seen the atls
ever
It fits easily in c2
the thing can fit almost anywhere a person can fit
And even smaller ships
its the size of a 8scu box
(when theres nobody using it)
also atls' will be used for cargo arrangement and management
You can fit dozens if not hundreds of atls in javelin
Yes. Itâs a bit tall and wide.
is an 8scu box too much for the javelin
No? But an 8SCU box can be tractored in.
An ATLS has to walk.
And the Jav has human sized halls.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
atls lives in the cargo deck
it wouldnt need to go anywhere
Also, your main income would be extorting people
So idk how youâll pay for anything
But how do I get it on?
By extorting people�
just tractor beam it on board
Kinda self explanatory ainât it?
Which probably wonât work is what Im saying
Itâs a vehicle?
yes?
Why wouldnât it?
so
No oneâs gonna take it serious
A solo javelin
Maybe solo people who dont have much
Can those be tractor beamed?
Somebody that spent a week building a base and doesnât want a demotion to âpile of rubble.â
How do they know?
W H A T
every vehicle can get tractor beamed
as long as shields are down
(atls has no shields to speak of)
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.
most ground vehicles have shields
Spooky, let me tell u something.
and i dont think you can tractor beam an atls when its manned
Hoverbikes.
Only the X1 Force does.
Hoverbikes?
Youâll probably be put on blacklists by organizations with this gameplay style, groups will dedicate to take away every bit of fun you might have
Theyâll keep coming for u
how will you manage to catch a hoverbike with tractor beam
This is not the right game to do this
and ok you got the bike, the guy can just jump off
and you steal yourself a 20k bike
yummers
Orgs will keep destroying you, not giving you an ounce of freedom
But I needs money.
then get an org to help you do that
Then play gta or sum lol
Rockstar bad.
I am in some of them.
Who would love to hunt people like u down for sport
I will base myself out of their stations.
Theyâll 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
you will need to give them something in return though
Cuz youâre not the only one with a javelin
I myself am starting to consider it, because our org dedicates in destroying criminals and pirates
I⌠donât think thats how that works.
Its a persistent universe
Jav? Nuff said.
Why wouldnt it
Because I only want to extort cow farmers in Pyro.
Youâr saying an Org is going to actively try to stop me from doing that?
yes because the prospect of jacking a fully bladed javelin is pretty sweet
or atleast destroying one and scraping it
Yes
Plenty of orgs
Will do that
and since you are putting a massive target on your back by saying you will have no actual people onbaord
NPCs.
npc's will be alright at gunning but they will be garbage at engineering probably
who will fix your ship
Real obviously.
Sometimes I wonder if youâre actually believing thisâll work or are just trying to troll about haha
Oh. Nooo.
Im not trying to be a dick right, just being realistic to ur ideas
also oh my god how rapidly are you switching profile pictures
werent you red like 2 minutes ago
Iâm not?
Because it will probably really dissappoint you when it unfolds
I am red.
to me your blue
Am I not?
discord just cannot keep up i guess
??
Heâs red for me
You are Delulu.

Ok.
Well, my lunch is here.
Iâll be in #1252128354686206044 if you need me.
Aight man have a good one, dontât forget to inform us when javelinâs ingame how your plan is working
Really curious about that
Have I mentioned I like the kraken?
no you have not
Lol
have you heard of our lord and saviour kraken ?
Pirate owned krakens arenât real, they canât hurt me
i am not in danger I AM the danger
đ˘
also piracy isnt real
it is merely
liberation of cargo
kind of like robin hood but he doesnt give anything to the poor
full of medicine drug
With the polaris releasing at IAE - what are the chances it becomes the new loaner for the Kraken (instead of the Hammerhead)
I'd say they are high due to its fighter carrying abilities
Its a closer match to the kraken than the hammerhead
hm, but do they change loaners all the time?
Usually when some ship of closer similarity becomes flyable or a ship is broken they may temporarily swap it. Just varies.
Extremely low
Knowing cigđ
But it would be extremely nice
Why is it unlikely?
how come? it makes more sense to get another cap rather than a ship no one uses lol
my guess is that it will be polaris+ironclad then idris+ironclad
and then kraken comes out
thats what I was thinking as well lol
Idris as a loaner?
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
Thatâd be crazy
Yeah maybe
I think it will not have 2 capitals though as loaners
Idris is less valuable
Ironclad isint capital thoguh
iirc idris m value is around 75 less than kraken
I used the wiki because the rsi website says the M is only 1000
Yes but adding another ship to it, like polaris or ironclad
I donât think thatâs gonna happen
Not saying I wouldnt want to though, but I keep my expectations low
I could see Cat getting replaced by Ironclad and HH getting replaced by Polaris, then that getting replaced by Idris
Ironclad makes up for the polaris' relatively low cargo capacity
Ironclad isnt great combat wisr
Probably.
Im curious if anyone thinks we will see new info on the Kraken later this month on Drake day?
probably not until after the Ironclad is released
Unlikely
Next year invictus or iae is plausible though
But i wants needs it now lol
We all do
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
You think?
They did say a few new surprises not sure what it was about
But it's 0.1% chance of happening
no, thats habitation
Why are there tracks on the game.
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
also - it even states "Hab01" beside the door, not "Tram" if your thinking that part is the tram
Yes. But do the trams run past the door though...?
And through habitation??
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
I believe the only access points to the tram line will be through the cargo bay or the pads
The corridor is too small, i doubt they would make the tram be able to carry like 4 scu at a time
Also what export said

Nice!
So I was wrong, luckily
is this their first time mentioning this or has this been here on previous sales?
I think it was hinted before but never put in writing
Janitor is working on the kraken confirmed
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
kraken 2026 
they have been teasing it and mentioning it an awful lot
I really hope so lol if not, ima be sad
so theres no way they dont have it planned in the not so far future
true. Im going guess either IAE 2026 or at the latest, drakecon 2027
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 â˘ď¸ launch
I could see that happening. They'll definitely do something for the kraken at drakecon
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
oh shit, really? hmm.. I may need to try the contested zones lol
Ill likely fail miserably lol
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
true. Im gonna give it a try, probably faiol, but on the off chance I succeed - I wanna see that just because.. reasons lol
We must do it together
I'd be down for that.
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
so drake day, nothing new about kraken?
not this year
may be nothing.. may be something... lol
janitor is working on kraken double confirmed lets gooo
Sigh.. maybe in 2030?
2026 is my hope!! ||lol... :')||
â¤ď¸
Never say never
Hear me out
Kraken tomorrow
if they actually released it tomorrow, I would give CIG my entire next pay cheque just out of respect and thanks đ¤Ł
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
wait.. is it in production or just concept? don't give me false hope now!
To my knowlage
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
Probably working on shared assets between it and the Iron clad, as thats in production right now
I think you may be right. once they have the IronClad done, its easy for them to start on the Kraken.
What i am hoping for is in the balancing phase it gets a capital sized radar
Since yknow
Its a spacecraft carrier
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
We'll get the base before the Privateer. Might ge tthe Privateer before the BMM still though. lol
more salt in the wound i reckon
I assume privateer will be a fair bit after the kraken
Mainly because they would have to remake half of the interior
And apperently there will he functions to sell fuel
the privatter to sell fuel, or the base? cause the privateer gets rid of the extra fuel storage
The privateer would pull from the normal fuel tanks
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
oh.. thought that was just for refueling your own ships.. shit.. I see what your saying.. nvm me lol
Where it automatically bills the person instead of you needing to ask
the abse can refuel as well, thats why it has the extra tanks. for refueling the fleet
wait, really? I didn't think the privateer had that. thought it was just the base
I am not sure if it automatically bills the person
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
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
I mean the idris has like 1g worth of fuel
Dont even know what kind of number that is but if the kraken has similar amounts im sure refuelling ships wont be an issue
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
Maybe
Ill double check the privateer qna later and see if i was schizophrenic or not
Ah
I might have missunderstood what was written here
ok, so both will be able to, just the abse will ahve more fuel to do it with since it has the extra tanks
well just give base kraken as loaner all is fine than
more hopium, yummers
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
The internal hangars are the "Repair stations" - so.. by hand is likely the option.
I never noticed that, damn
Anyways
Kraken second to none!1!


Kraken with internal sound system for music when?
Just put this Bad Boi into Prod already Chris...!! lets fucking Goooooooo
it already is
has been shown as an actual ship in the Nyx system which is in greybox
also putting the Kraken in Greybox
yea i saw that - i started drooling when i did...
link?
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.
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
My guess is that it is, due to when it was shown in citizencon, there was the text
greybox| in production at the bottom
Yeah but it wasnt about the kraken I think
While you do have a point, they did kind of pan onto it and zoom in
i doubt they would show it off and pay attention to it just for "hell yeah"
plus dont forget all of the kraken mentions throughout 2024
Does kinda sound like CIG though, just sayingđ
they do have frequent mentions/teases about kraken which is good
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
Cant eat whats already eaten
Work smarter not harder
lol, well.. I hope 2026 of course. I just don't think it'll be it.

- Before SQ42.
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
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
ye
the most problematic thing about the Kraken would be the interiour
especially the dragonfly bay and the internal tram
The one thing i dont get about the dragonfly bay is how you recover your dragonflies in atmosphere
"Internal Tram."
I"m going to drive this thing through a giant hole in the side.
Also, i dont think the tram would be too difficult, just make it operate kind of like an elevator
Maybe with an internal elevator?
How would the cargo hold work landed?
Nuh uh. I wanna drive.
Im pretty sure the way it works is that there is a main cargo hold and then a secondary smaller one thats under the main hold which has the cargo elevator
Its either a big door or an elevator idk
Im pretty sure theres concept art where its just a big door, hold on
Maybe
From this concept i dont know if thats landing gear or a ramp/elevator
Oh nice
My only question how do you get the dragonflies up there
Into the dragonfly bay
maybe here?
I dont see any entrance from this picture of the bay other than the roof
also
we have a fully textured Kraken since 2020
I pay my respects to it every day
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
im just waiting for IAE 2955 to show the teasers
one being the Kraken
with Citcon hyping it up this year
My guess is drake teasing it during drake def con
Or that
showing it in base building trailer
landing in a base
with a cutlass landing on it
Hear me out, remove the dragonfly bay and add a drone bay
modularity maybe?
dragonfly bay module and drone module
Since its very niche
I really really hope they give the kraken some kind of drones
Even like small ones
Just so it can do automated hull repair and ship recovery
also love how the kraken was choosen by 37%
of 3 ships being
A: The Vulture
B: The Corsair
C: The Krakne
like
Kraken second to none
Its as simple as that
"Choose the last Drake ship ship" ahhh pull
(even though it got like 2nd place in the poll i think)
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
Javelin is already complete i believe due to it being in squadron
I think they said the idris and jav would be delivered alognside squadron didint they?
Only idriz
Javelin will come right after squadrons release as first project
So the kraken will be queued after that
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
It does, but itâs not multiplayer ready I think.
Remember 100s of people will fly it
Maybe
Servers will implode if they dont get dynamic server meshing out before jav
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
Wirhout dynamic server meshing i doubt its possible
Unless you do it right at the border of 2 servers lol
Yep
Weâll have to sit tight and see
Im rooting for 2026 btw
But realistically idk if thatll be true
I think its plausible
Since a very large marketting point of the ironclad was the fact that kraken comes after it
Everythingâs plausible but the gameâs code is one big mess I imagine
And from the looks of it they are going to knock it out in a year flat
Probably not the assault thougu
Ironclad will be a ship thatâs aimed for this year
Same as base building
But itâs been real quiet
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
November
Maybe end of this year will give us the goodies
Although they did say base building early 2025
Well, itâs been really quiet about that hahaha
They did say in the monthly report that base building is in validation
Which to my understanding means its effectively done i think
Weâll see
Its set to release during IAE
What is?
Base Building
lmfao hell nah. Need IC to release first, then 1-3 years after that happens
Probably not this year, im betting on a tease on next years invictus and then a release iae the same year
Hopium continues to build....
In am ammasing dangerous levels of hopium
Yeapers
Good one
if that would happen I'd cry out of joy
I need to fly it....
I litterally bought space engineers just to fly a recreation of one
Love me my Krakoes...!! Soon TM
Its a very well made recreation
hell yeah, spent hours in it
just way too addictive to look at ur future ship
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 humanityâs struggle with power over its own creations.
A similar theme appears in Frankensteinâs monster, influenced by the golem legend. Frankensteinâs creature, like the golem, is an artificial being that ultimately escapes its creatorâs 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 krakenâa monstrous cephalopod capable of dragging ships into the abyss.
Golem= kraken

I think my logic is sound
Ill have you know i used the finest copium from out back
Protocol 4
Snort the Space dust
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE
Give me some of the stuff youâre having m8âŚ
I stare at my kraken 3d print and or the kraken reveal trailer for 5 hours, go to bed and then it comes to me in a dream
The one I gave u?
Did u print it
No unfortunately, but theres always round 2
of course of course

i believe these images are from 2018
i think its this exact model
