Fancy some guesses on size / price / # of prison-grade beds?

[@thygeek]

I bet the Fatterpillar will be similar to the Liberator in size and cost about $550. And probably have like 6 prison-grade beds in the main ship, alongside 2 inside the command module. And I think it'll hold like 1500 SCU of cargo.

[@Brian-us2xz]

The thiccapiller be rolling with those high quality steel beds

[@sxu-z]

500 normal 600 assault

[@DigThat32]

@@thygeek pretty much nailed it on the cargo

[@thygeek]

@DigThat32 lucky guess, I suppose. I was a little off on the price, though.

[@jedi_drifter2988]

Ironclad is probably the best all-rounder ship, Cargo, pocket carrier, Salvage/Mining mothership, search rescue repair and so much more. The secure cargo room looks like an armory/brig to me . This is one of the most flexible ships, as far as gameplay loops. It's a Liberator on steroids. I really like this one, just have to figure how to get it. It will cost more than the Liberator IMO.

They really should get rid of selling AUEC! I'm sure many don't even buy it anyway.

[@Nianfur]

Crew is a big issue in Star Citizen. The best option would be for CIG to allow free to play accounts, where the account can't pilot or drive anything, not own ships or vehicles, and have other potential restrictions. Then sell fps gear and skins to them. With the option later of paying to make it a fully functional account. That or cheap fps accounts with the no pilot rule, that can't own ships. Either way, we need a way to subsidize crew. Because not everyone needs to be a captain.

[@Nianfur]

@@theMedicatedCitizen That's something we need. Sell packages with various levels of vehicle's, basic armour kits / outfits, and guns. Where's my police Ursa, uniform, and tools? That would be a sweet package. Or a police dragonfly, flashing lights. Police paint, with a size 0 emp. But yes, we need land vehicle only accounts.

[@bobklk51]

Invent a crew person account for say $25 (upgradeable at any time ofc) and like said above no pilot seat and can't own ships.

Best sc vids man, got all the good shit. I recently got from invictus cause I always wanted a huge ship and I love it, I feel like the fatterpillar gonna be similar to it, where you can solo and have heaps of fun or you can crew and have heaps of fun. Im gonna get back in to starfield once expansion drops, just felt a little lackluster when I played don inital release. Nice vid brosky. (P.S, you still got the homeworld key on hand 🤣)

[@fubarace1027]

They CAN make Hull-B, and Tali Base. Also G-12, not sure why wasn't made. Railen will be hard, but is feasible; blame CR for expensive cool factor with Railen. I forget about the Zeuses and if they had anything special going on with them.

[@DigThat32]

I imagine Hull B is low priority, Tali Base is in game, G12 is waiting on roads, Railen w/ its similar cargo to Hull B prolly low priority & it's relatively new. Zeus ES & CL are in active development.

[@Mashedtaders]

You can put items in a cargo container if you loot it instead of open it. When it starts dumping out items it is full. Unloading them is a pain though, you have to use the loot method again to do so.

[@BlackMage_01]

It's gotta be the BMM. That's the oldest one I can think of that isn't out yet. It's ancient. However, the Idris is up there too.

[@bryanwithawhy]

Because of my American-centric education, when I hear "ironclad" I immediately think of the USS Monitor - a ship that defined the ironclad industry (short-lived). Thick iron-armor around a ship that was mostly underwater, used during the Ununited States Civil War. So, calling it the Ironclad doesn't inspire confidence for me. But as a Drake fanboy first and foremost, it fits with the design language of the manufacturer very well. I appreciate the Caterpillar detachable command module and suspect it will be very useful when Pyro launches.

[@llillian4055]

2014 Crucible should be made before the Ironsides. It would work as a cargo ship today, even if the repair gameplay may be later. Objectively, CIG needs to get repair gameplay in-game ASAP, because places like Pyro are going to be a problem without refuelling, rearming and repairing, as there will be vastly fewer space stations to do that at.

[@jello_cudgel9213]

I was so surprised when you read my comment I almost crashed into Seraphim, lol

[@DigThat32]

Haa! 🚀💥

[@KhairulFadzlyAKarim]

The reason why they make this new big ships is because its easier to make a new in accordance to the current tech they have instead of trying to figure out what to do with the old ships. They solved the modules issues on the Hull C, a new ship and now they can applied it to the Tali and all the other legacy ships that has modules. With the new ships they will increase the design libraries of things like corridors, consoles, furnitures, turrets etc that can be used to refurbished the older ships. This is what happening with the RSI. Seems Drake is next.

[@kishkin8743]

I'm curious with the price of the Ironclad if they're going to retire the Caterpillar at this point because it's a headache ship.

[@antwan1357]

6109 hours space trucking in elite dangerous and listening to this video , and refusing to play star citizen until it is a finished product.

[@DigThat32]

Idk that it'll ever be "finished"- finished. 1.0 will release in 2-3 years, then ongoing development like Elite, except a lot of substantial content delivered regularly. Hopefully Elite can get a second wind in the meantime.

[@JeffInABoxx]

I think the command module is for emergencies only because they don't have docking ready 🤔

[@rooster1012]

I call bullsh!t on the backlog as there are many ships that need to be made that have gameplay ready as mining, cargo and medical are in that covers all but the passenger ships, mines where completed like 2 years ago, the drone flight model was completed over a year ago, it really gets old hearing people make excuse for CIG. If it takes a year and a half for these large ships they can start building them as they work on implementing the tech this is nothing new in game development it doesn't take 10 years to implement a design document.

[@petrduchac5185]

Capital ships still walid for solo, when you have lot of stuff and want to haul it to diferent space so you dont need to do that many trips , or park it next to a cave or diferent harwestable in safe space for a week and you have all the amenities and hospital at reach🙂

[@vik12D]

Megapillar? $600.

[@mrdashin8323]

I believe the oldest ship sold but not delivered is the bmm.

[@KhairulFadzlyAKarim]

The BMM is a custom ships with parts that not shared with many other ships so this one will take awhile. They’d do ships like RSI, Drake or Crusader first that shares designs elements that if made in one ship can just cut and paste across the other ships that needs it.

[@CaidicusProductions]

Lol im not mad or anything but wouldn't you also be "yaked" in the faterpiller since youll be a soft target with a tastey treat in its belly? A pilot and all turrets manned on a polaris would be hard to drop down. We do the same thing with a hammerhead and it works great.

Nah, the Kraken is fairly recent, isn't it? The MISC Endeavor is a 9-10 year old concept that most would argue will be the last ship ever made and released into the verse due to it's complicated gameplay that is still bouncing around in the heads of the devs.

[@TheStorm357]

The crew problem is something that is going to bite CIG in the arse.. the pocket with the wallet specifically as 4.0 rolls in and engineering make most people suddenly unable to fly the ships they have spent their dollars on, no word on npc crew other than "Its something we would like to do at some point in the future" and not enough people in their crews that want to give up their own time in the ships they payed for themselves... Those big sales will naturally slump. Why upgrade to a ship that I cant fly?.. no way I am spending cash on a four person ship when I run with three people most of the time. I would advise CIG, for what that's worth (read: zip) to make those npc crewmembers a higher priority.

[@arrclyde4325]

People say the Idris and the Jacelin are on the backlog, but they really are not. Those ships are pretty much build. Maybe not for multicrew and engineering gameplay entirely, but the majority of those ships are done. And they even said when they will be in player hands: at SQ42 release and shortly after. So saying those ships are on the backlog of ships, is most likely wrong.

[@clints7834]

I got the PHATTERPILLAR! They said that the Kraken will be easier to make after the Ironclad. To me this means that the Ironclad might be on some sort of fast track. I have the Liberator and so this just made that obsolete. The liberator holds a lot less, has fewer defenses and costs more. Why? The Ironclad will probably drop before the Liberator. Cheaper, bigger, stronger and more exciting than the Liberator. Bye bye Lib.
