The Kraken is the one ship I'm most excited for. I'm slowly learning blender so i can 3D print one

[@andrewcoulthard-clark]

Cool, if you do will you post a video to KZbin please? Id love to see it. There's not a lot of Star citizen models, that would make your video particularly unique.

[@EmilSosnin]

I'd love to have a 3D model of the Kraken

[@gamedaytoday1]

The Kraken is like having your own sky fortress base, can't wait for Star Citizen to mature and have more playable capital ships.

[@Dauske]

3.18 comes out this week

[@asiftalpur3758]

@@Dauske okay how is that relevant

[@Alberto-xw8vx]

Can wait for star citizen to be considered a "game" and be "playable".

[@Kosake82]

@@Alberto-xw8vx Maybe you can, I wouldn't wait this long.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

@@Kosake82 This ship look kinda familiar, something from Fractured Space.

[@PEN0311]

Excellent overview and presentation of all relevant information on the Kraken. Keep up the good work!

[@veizour]

Not going to fool myself into thinking this'll be out anytime within the next few years but videos like this help my "need" for more Kraken content. THANK YOU! Wonderful video! Great look and POV on it.

[@mithrix5131]

This is the series we have all been waiting for. Well done.

[@VoidyVids]

Love this format man, excellent video, to the point, succinct, everything I want out of a Star Citizen ship centric video! Unleash the Kraken plz CIG.

[@NoobFlo]

Gib Kraken! Can't wait

[@xMajorZachx]

Very well done! I look forward to the next one. If you're starting with ships that are not currently available, I would like to see one done on the Polaris and Perseus.

[@brimstone5931]

Agreed ZW, I would actually prefer ships not currently flyable in this series. There are lots of ship reviews out there on flyable ships, but I love the way SJ has correlated all the info, graphics and lore into this one great video.

[@STARJUMP_GRIM]

Yeah thats the plan, 99percent of the time they will be focused on non flyable ships.

[@LordTimelord]

@@STARJUMP_GRIM Does the privateer version still have the capability of repairing, rearming, and refueling ships? Or are those assets lost on the privateer versus the standard version? Your graphic in the video shows the fuel tanks disappearing in the privateer version which is why I'm asking. I've not been able to verify this information anywhere and I figured you would know. Thanks!

[@Nefarious2870]

Great content and very informative. I think CIG also needs to look at organisation ownership and ship user permissions. To have an Org. With 15 members on board and only able to deploy in their own ships, it is so limiting. Even on a reclaimer, you need ship ownership to board or use. For any ship, a minimum crew of over one, or any organisation with multiple known members, giving use permissions to organisation ships is a must for the future.

[@spAce_GeeZus]

GREAT WORK! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Makes me happy to have a Kraken and actually makes me think about getting a Privateer as well even though I have a BMM. I can really see there being benefits to owning both after this. You really got me thinking about the key differences and how each has their own strengths and benefits. Really looking forward to the Endeavor episode next week. I have a Master Set and can't wait for you to sell me on it all over again! Would really like to see your take on the Banu Merchantman and the Polaris as well. Thank you so much for all you do for the community!

[@tevarinvagabond1192]

Hope you're in an org...I see a lot of guys like you have no friends playing the game and no org yet they think they can solo a fleet...not gonna happen buddy

[@spAce_GeeZus]

@@tevarinvagabond1192 Just so happens I am. Several actually. A lot of "guys like me" are. A lot of "guys like me" will be. A lot of "guys like me" actually start their own ORGs and buy their fleets specifically to share and enjoy this game with other people. This is definitely a game to enjoy with other people. My new in game friends and I built a Community just playing the game with others. It is not as hard as you would think. I only have 2 Rules in our Community. 1. Help who you can and share what you know. 2. Don't be a Dikk. Sure there are plenty of people out there who own a Legatus Pack and dream that they will Solo a Javelin. I say more power to them. It is after all, THEIR money that bought the Legatus Pack and it is their right to try and play the game any way they want. Guess what? They will get on that Javelin and fly off into the verse with a few NPCs and probably enjoy their time in their Javelin. It may not be very efficient or effective but I do suspect that it IS going to be possible for them to do that. I don't own a Javelin but I haven't excluded the idea of working towards one in game either because at this point in time NO ONE really knows what will be possible when this game goes live. I am sure you would have to agree with that, right buddy? o7

[@vasilizaitsez7455]

Wow! Absolutely Epic! I look forward to seeing my pocket Carrier, The Liberator done up in fine fashion like this. Thx for a great Kraken review!

[@Zeoran]

This is the first video I've seen from your channel. I'm glad YT recommended it. This was a VERY well done video with tons of info, including stuff I've never seen/heard before.

[@Maddax_]

I think I remember hearing during a Live that the larger capitol class ships such as the Kraken are meant to be persistent no matter the state of the owner. So I think it is possible that they won't start development until there is solid footing underneath full persistence.

[@STARJUMP_GRIM]

So they did say that the Bengal would be persistent. However in the Kraken Q&A it was stated that the ship will despawn if the owner logs out. If other players on still on the Kraken when the owner logs out, then the ship will persist. However as soon as no one is on the Kraken anymore then it will in fact despawn.

[@sirberticus3815]

I can really see a Kraken Ore Refinery variant in the future. Sure, it can bring along a MISC Expanse, but I picture a couple of Moles + 4x escort fighters.

[@ozramblue117]

Drake is awesome! I love the look of the Kraken. Biggest Drake ship suits me is the Corsair though. I love that thing.

[@HezeqiahOldGamingChannel]

Loved this episode. I have been on the fence about the Kraken Privateer v. Kraken and this gave some really great perspective. Thank you Starjump team!

[@HatheGaming]

awesome video! The Kraken was the first ship I fell in love with when I began playing SC about 4 years ago but at the time I didn't know it wasn't yet in the game and i've been waiting for it ever since lol cant wait for that day to come

[@bluemoondm8629]

Awesome! Great ambient background music, appropriate on screen media that actually applies to the topic at hand, and well.. Kraken. I love this, keep it up! I'm hoping for Perseus next.

[@hexcelsiorx]

What an incredible video! Cannot wait for more! Would love to see one on the RSI Perseus:)

[@bryanofphoenix]

Fantastic! I look for more episodes of Shipyard. The attention to detail and the visuals certainly make it stand out and are a good reminder why I have this beast in my roster. As always amazing work from the StarJump crew and well worth the wait.

[@melandor0]

This is a good idea for a series and the one ship I REALLY want you to cover on this is the Liberator. That thing is both an open book and a mystery, because I know what it does but I can't divine what people will end up doing with it, if it'll be niche or something literally everyone has

[@Silcs]

Great job all! Appreciate the work and attention to detail that went into making this. I'm already excited for the next one.

[@lunaricecake2003]

It’s very nice to have a in depth view into the kraken and honestly I would love to see you do a video on the MISC endeavor.

[@Aerius_21]

i loved this; the info, the graphics, all of it; cant wait to see more

[@stefensmith9522]

I got the privateer and can't wait to get this baby in game! I can already picture salvage operations to and from and storing the goods inside, stocking it for merchant sales and watching the guns obliterate any opposition 😊😁

[@yannickdeimel2000]

Considering it might not be that long until its Release, i would love to see the Hull-C as it will most likely be the backbone of most Transport Orgs

Thats an idea, close ups on the components and weapons would be FANTASTIC not to mention that could be an entire new series that could take years to complete (BTW I would watch every episode;).

[@ender_sj1425]

Well done brother.

[@shane757]

Nice. Since large tractor beams are on the horizon I'd be super interested in seeing what the Orion is looking like these days. I know they scaled it up going into this phase but its hard to find good information on this much closer to release ship.

[@jmreasor10]

Imagine 2 and a half football stadiums coming in from atmo and landing in front of you, thats the size of this monster, and it can still land on a planet, thats crazy!!! This game is already mind blowing just wait til we get our Capital ships

[@fillianplays]

I see Kraken I must click… There’s still lots of things I’d like to see them improve about the layout and design like extending the large deck by a meagre 2 meters to give it better synergy with the caterpillar.

[@billyhyde1415]

A good amount of discussion has been made about the ponderous atmospheric and landing problems of big ships like the Starfarer and Reclaimer, but I think the solution to these things is relatively simple: They're like the weapons on a Prospector. In essence, they're a last resort for when absolutely every other option is off the table, and even then using them is ill-advised. In other words, folks talk about the problems that come about because a Kraken CAN land on a planetary or lunar surface, but the real question is whether they SHOULD. And, of course, the answer is a resounding NO, 99.99 percent of the time. The only situation I can see where landing a Kraken is a good idea would be when it needs to power down in order to hide, and needs to do so relatively long-term. Even then, however, there's so much space out there to get lost in - is it really worth the danger and expense of landing, when you could just as easily Quantum out to an empty spot in space that may actually end up seeing LESS traffic while being MORE accessible to friendly forces in the case where repair, replenishment, or the like are needed by the Kraken?

[@expressmangaming650]

Especially when you consider the game is chuck full of bombers right now.

[@Sam-sl2yv]

[@TyMannJones]

This is my absolute favorite ship,and you have only solidified it haha.

[@thecaptainkern7974]

For Me it's the Polaris in first place but the Kraken has overtaken the BMM for a close second to the Polaris!

[@texnorthman]

Lots of great info in this! Finally snagged a Kraken for credits yesterday (or rather, 2am this morning during wave #2). So now I have an Idris-P with K kit and soon also this Kraken in buyback, just waiting for me to decide which is going to be my forever-cap-ship. It will be very interesting to see which one, if either, of these behemoths are possible to run with a skeleton crew. Shame the Idris has an artificially restricted cargo space - shoving that main hangar bay full of cargo should have netted at least 2500-3000 SCU of cargo given how much bigger than a Herc C2 it is.

[@nathannielflint6515]

Wow! Crazy good stuff here

[@AlbertoMartinez765]

Great new Show keep it up

[@sky_raider_2354]

Great video! I was super stoked to have finally gotten a kraken privateer during IAE because of how expensive it is! And i thought to myself “i wonder how many they actually sell a year.” And i looked into it and it seems the kraken isnt as rare as i had hoped. Sever streamers have close to 10 for “giveaways” and so on and it kinda just killed me a little inside. Still super happy i got one but its definitely not the one in a million ship i had hoped it would be. But i digress CIG has to earn a living somehow!

[@caseygalerneau4448]

This video makes me like the Kraken more than I thought I would. Now if one of the other manufacturers could make a similar style ship....

[@wisdomandy9361]

For combat, the Polaris looks to be the king. But for "good enough combat", and a "jack of all trades" capital ship, the Kraken is the king. Or so it seems so far. I personally own a Polaris but honestly I'd like to convert into the Kraken eventually because of how much more realistic it's game loops are. I'm going to be patient though since the Polaris is "supposed" to be coming out in 12 months and we realistically don't know how many years the Kraken is going to take.

[@expressmangaming650]

Someone made a really good case for why the Kraken should come out with Pyro... but at this point there's just no way. I think it's 2 years out. They have to finish gold-standarding the current ships while producing enough new ones to keep the pledge money rolling in... at least until they release S42. Here's hoping.

[@user-vi5wv9ht8l]

Great job this was very enlightening and I am working to buy this ship to take it to my drake next level,As an owner of a Merchant man that would work great side by side a Kraken base model or a Privateer they would set up a safe area of commerce in a distant location with my Orion and Arrastra,Mole, Prospectors,Starfarer as well as other support ships like my Crucible and Expanse and so on. So cool but you would have to be online in game for almost the whole day non stop to make it worthwhile.

[@andyandreson3989]

Great video. I hope to see more…….soon.

[@Light-hawk]

I'm of the opinion that the Kraken may need to be enlarged a little before it's released. From what can be found on it so far, the two larger landing pads are supposed to be for size 3 ships (such as the Cutlass). However some ships such as the Spirit's or Freelancer MAX are also size 3 ships and if you overlay them, they are a good deal larger than those landing pads. The "if it fits it sits" rule can come into play there but that's more of an unintended side effect than it is by design. An added bonus to making it just slightly bigger could mean the internal hangars could possibly fit size 3 ships as well (currently only size 2 ships). TLDR: If the design calls for proper landing pads to accommodate all size 3 ships then the flight deck may need to be a little larger.

[@vision010]

This is a whole lot of ship for my org right now - but the Liberator? That might be just the fit - love to see you cover it!
