You're more than welcome to. Adventure awaits!I think I'll crew on Owls
I am too. Very afraid.I already crewed up on @Blind Owl 's Cat.... you can have the bunk next to mine. I made sure it was far away from @CrudeSasquatch ... I am afraid of what he does when the lights are out.
Beer and bunks, a bar, and a mobile coffee bar for @Sam K Macer.I'm not sure if @Blind Owl 's Caterpillar will have any space left for crew after he fills it to the brim with beer. Maybe sit on top of the kegs?
Hahaha. Perfect.Its ok @CrudeSasquatch, I will bunk next to you. I know enough to hide all the steak and some beer under Zapp Brannigan's bunk.
Matt Sherman has said that Drake ships will not be treated differently by law enforcement. Even though some owners of Drake ships engage in illegal activities that's simply their choice. Drake is treated as a respected ship manufacturer in the Verse so unless CIG changes their mind, just because you are piloting a Drake ship doesn't mean you will be treated differently by the in game AI. If you get scanned chances are it's either random, everyone's getting scanned in that system upon entry/exit, or your reputation has spiked their interest. Can't say yet how the player base will treat Drake ships but I would imagine a heightened sense of caution would be a common course of action. Matt Sherman I believed put this in the Buccaneer Q&A but if not there let me know and I will search for the reference.
The biggest downside has nothing to do with the ship itself, but rather the reputation associated with it. To every local cop, Advo, merc and Citizen, Drake ships are treated like suspects wherever they go.
The biggest problem with the Caterpillar is the negative attention you’ll receive. Cops will probably scan you more often.

Am I in pirate business? No, probably not. Am I in trading business? Definitely yes. But the one question remains: will CIG definitely implement those planned "features" of the defined "reputation malus/penalty"? That definitely IS a point which makes me sit up - and take notice.
Hm...hmhmhm...
I really doubt it will go on sale when 2.4 goes live. It will probably happen when the Caterpillar is hangar / flight ready.Together with go-live of PU 2.4 - so say the rumors.
I read it on the interwebs - it must be true!You can shoot all drake ships as pirates its the law!
Ooooooo, and I bought one on the grey market. Oh well.Together with go-live of PU 2.4 - so say the rumors.
I get all my facts from the interwebs. That's where I learned that sugar in my gas tank makes my car go super fast!!I read it on the interwebs - it must be true!
They did say that it would be on sale before it is hanger ready, and have already hinted that is closer than we thinkI really doubt it will go on sale when 2.4 goes live. It will probably happen when the Caterpillar is hangar / flight ready.
Did you bring beer? Yes? Then there's always room for you to hide your ship for no reason.I'm no stinky pirate! Drake is a... reputable... organization of shipwrights!
I want to man the forklift in the Cat! Also, can I park my Buccaneer in your haul until the cops stop scanning ships? No reason... really!
I do this all the time. My wife tells me I'm vane. ;)but but... isn't my cutlass blue a.. cop car? I guess i'll have to watch my every move..
