STAR CITIZEN - THIS BEAST DESERVES TO BE RELEASED! - DRAKE KRAKEN
In this video i explore one of the most famous ships in the star citizen universe. Drakes interplanetary Kraken. This capital ship is classified as a light carrier and able to carry a respectful fighter wing. It has numerous functions and features that allow it to truly be a versatile and multirole vessel. Plenty of onboard fire power and the ability to launch fighters is certainly something that many organisations and citizens will want in there fleet. There is after all only one KRAKEN!

I got a kraken for my husband because he loves carriers and I got myself a Banu Merchantmen. I’m hoping there’s going to be a way at some point that our ships can do some insane teamwork like possibly using the merchantmen to resupply the kraken so it can stay out longer 😁

[@Spaceman-PIN]

Awesome im jealous! I think the merchant man would make a excellent kraken supply ship. I'm sure there is plenty of team work to be had between those ships..!

[@johnboyd9713]

This is cute. I like the BMM as an org support ship, as you can stock your shops with common components, armor, and weapons and then sell them at cost to org mates, so they don't have to go back to a station to rearm. I think they work well together.

[@spacecowboy4804]

Use the bmm to sell high tier goods while the kraken defends it OR, use the BMM for your premium goods and use the privateer to sell your your more common items right next to it.

[@Aeternum_Gaming]

so when you inevitably divorce him, do you only take 1 ship? or all of them?

[@richardrich9285]

This just made me think of something. Since the Kraken doesn't have Escape pods, then one internal hangar can be dedicated to an escape ship. Perhaps a Cutlass Steel would be ideal for that, if it fits.

[@Chexmaster]

It's crazy it's only 30 longer then a Banu Merchantman. It's going to be interesting how effective the base line capital ships like the kraken, Polaris and Merchantman will be when fighting the top tier ships

I can't wait to find out!

[@Chexmaster]

@@Spaceman-PIN honestly they need to announce a top tier battleship or cruiser cause the only two top ships are carriers

I'm sure they will, but more than likely I would guess that cig are waiting to have a few more systems in game first. Because stanton would be crazy with kraken and alike running riot.

[@m3ato109]

My 1st thought is to use it with a mining team. So example an Orion with necessary support. Perhaps the Kraken and run the ORE back and forth. Looking forward to trying it out to see what works.

[@doodlePimp]

They have gone away from the civilian/military/stealth/industry/performance according to what John Crewe said during some Q&A. So you should be able to equip all type of components. It might change again of course.

[@Paisa231]

Not what I got from what he said.. What I got from it, is that they changed the focus from having industry, civilian, military etc grade components. But you are limited to how high tier you can use, and in what mix depending on your ship type. So if tier 10 is the highest you cant use this in a XS ship type, due to size and requirements to cooling/power f.ex. And you cant max all components because of requirements to cooling, power, computer..

[@doodlePimp]

@@Paisa231 The restrictions are completely going away according to what they said one year ago Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naS6dZelosiAea8 They felt it didn't stop the min-maxing and it limited choices. The names of the categories will still remain.

[@Paisa231]

@@doodlePimp Yeah I watched that, and yes I remember it a bit wrong. But they only answerd half the question. That the restriction of a Civilian ship cant equip Military Component. That is going away, as it is a artificial limitaion. But Military, industrial Civilian components will have different upsides and downsides. But they didnt answer if a ship can equip any component. And I dont think you will be able to equip a RSI Aquila with a rare Esperian Cooler component you found in the verse. That might be limited to Espserian ships, or MISC/Banu because they use tech from Alien species already. And you still got S/M/L components, so a XS ship cant use a Large shield.

[@pauldelarosa6228]

I own the Kraken and Privateer for the exact reason you mentioned. I see the kraken resupplying ships and the privateer rearming crew for a planetside attack and a source of income to purchase fuel, ammo, weapons, and armor. I would like to dock them side-by-side.

Hate to tell you, but CIG confirmed the Kraken is not under development. So I'm guessing 2 years + before it goes live. First version you will see will be the pirate version, without interior, much like the Idris we currently have in the PU as UEE or in the harlington gang missions.

[@deazyy6133]

It’s not in active development. But we don’t know what state it’s in? There’s also allot of unanounced ships being worked on. They could have been doing this on the back burner the last couple years… it may even be almost complete there just not releasing it yet… nobody knows.

The Kraken is my “in-game goal” I may break down and scoop one off one of my friends that has been thinking of selling it. But am trying to have a reason to play or something to play towards. But I would use it as a flying base to go from area to area to pirate and loot and drop off at Kraken and repeat. It would take a while to load up that 3500SCU with tons of armor and guns, rare items, etc…. Then fly back to UAE territory and sell.

[@creativename2655]

the only problem I face (specifically me) is that the capital ships require a massive ammount of crew which i dont have that many friends (only 1 at most). I own a kraken and privateer but im probably gonna use the privateer to get the Idris. Theoretically my fleet would have 2 capital ships: kraken (for general support / utility, acting as the aircraft carrier) and the idris (as the main firepower and muscle with a few extra fighters) with a few support ships like Polaris, Perseus and others. But then again, im not part of any Org (dont like them too much, too much formality) and i dont have the people to crew these big fleets. I’d probably be running one of the 2 capital ships (probably the kraken). Lmk your thoughts

[@Austintatious_One]

I can't imagine needing one of these early on in game.. As you start to acquire more and more stuff and pals in game though.. In game goal for a reason this one, not essential but by god it is cool and will be the first if not only super capitol ships I will buy in game (nice end goal).. Not that fussed about the idris and the javalin 🤷‍♂️ I would prefer to add some refining facilities to this ship rather than the markets (cousin crows)..

[@Juxer_SC]

I got the privateer.. can't wait to fly it in 2030.

[@naemek9675]

Will use this as an Escort for my orion(s) and possibly to ferry a bit of their cargo as well.

[@22GamingGuy]

I’d likely never own one, but I certainly would want to be friends with someone who does. I have a Corsair and a caterpillar and that’s big enough for me and those ships could support this capital. Since it seems the Corsair will fit on the medium pads at least you’ll be able to operate off a Kraken. The Kraken is certainly the most versatile capital ship, perhaps not as much as the endeavor. But using this to carry whatever ships your org uses would be adaptable to any org.

[@kendallscott8908]

Haha this is a Beast of a ship...I do see a much larger crew needed when it becomes a reality. So far all the big boys have grown in size and scope from Concepcion. Cant wait to see it

[@Spaceman-PIN]

I agree, i think 10 crew is quite optimistic. I too can't wait to see this ship.

[@Chexmaster]

Honestly the big ships are in a odd situation in that all the announced ones are carriers. We really need a large battleship or cruiser, cause unless the carriers are already set up they could get wiped by a squad of Polaris

[@Paisa231]

Will be epic to see this released but not neccesary for the game yet. The release of the Liberator is easier to release with the Pyro system, to allow us to transport ships and vehicels until the game is closer to done and they can deliver ships like the Kraken, Endevour, Hull D/E, Genesis

[@fmartingorb]

I own two attack carriers, the second one went through :) this is a RRR powerhouse and a last line of defence good escort for the cargo and mining ships. While the Idris has more of attack role

[@Brian-WolfmanJack99]

Nice video! Light carrier?! I can't wait to see the heavy carrier. If you're in an org at any time flying this, you would need to have escort fighters orbiting at all times especially if it was planet side. You know there are going to be people looking to catch this thing with it's pants down just to say they did it.

[@Spaceman-PIN]

It's cool and all and I'm excited to see it in-game eventually but there's just absolutely no need for it right now in the 'verse. Currently we only have Stanton and there are so many stations and cities to land at that a Kraken would just sit there with nothing to do. Once we get more systems in the verse, particularly system that are a long way away from any kind of civilization, that's when the Kraken will start to shine. Then again, we just got our FOURTH exploration ship announced and in white-box so what-the-fuck do I know?!

[@jedi_drifter2988]

Way late to the party, but IMO the Kraken might not be so bad in atmo because in the brilliant design of the ship, all the landing pads have a dual purpose as wings. You can see this in the holoviewer. Taking off from a planet might require the Kraken to fly in atmo circumnavigating the planet, rising up and increasing speed as you gain altitude, not just pointing the nose up and taking off or VTOL straight up.

[@One3Two]

With ship like this, I hope the game will have as many star system as Elite Dangerous, and that the "bubble of habited planet with space ports" is what we're starting with, I want to colonize where no one ever went, settle somewhere someone never will think of going, etc!

If I could afford a Kraken, I'd use it as a mobile support and repair ship. You pay a 10% convenience fee over cost of refuel, repair, re-arm, medical, food, respawn point/lodging, etc... Of course, if I had a Kraken, I'd likely be using my RAFT to run resupply for it, more than I'd actually be ON it. 🤷‍♂️

[@sigmaprojects]

I think the game would need to support more concurrent players at once to really take advantage of a ship like this. If they have 50 max players in one instance a Kraken fully manned with 10 people and then outfitted with multiple fighters onboard would be like half the available player slots for an instance. Like how would two kraken go at it if fully manned and supported? Either way, such a badass vessel.

don't buy the kraken with real money buy the Orion and you should in theory be able to buy just about any ship you want in game i keep struggling with the fomo but its a drake ship it shouldnt be too hard to be able to buy one in game i imagine if it can be obtained by pirates that it shouldnt be rep locked the bmm however is said to be hard to get in game due to it being banu so i would advise buying this ship with cash as well if you are wanting the ship

No need for this ship in game atm, doubt this will be released for another 18months.
