DRAKE! SCOUT CARRIER, STARTER SALVAGE, OR CONNIE COMPETITOR
- Thread starter Laughing-Skull
- Start date
The scout carrier ideas they had were just awesome. Retractable landing pads, potential repair/refuel bay, potentially able to hold 1 Caterpillar.
Carrier is said to have next to no defenses however. Its defense is going to be the ships it carries. Its also going to be called the Drake: Kracken
That is fine for a carrier. The escort ships (HH :wink:) take care of defense

Kinda liked the "throw it in the back like you would a pick-up truck and go!" fast salvage ship idea
Something fast, grab the scrap and leave asap, extract the valuable stuff back at your land claim scrap workshop... profit.

Perfect for us even when we're not in combat lolol

Scout carrier is gonna win for sure, but I think the "Starlifter" is the most interesting of the bunch to be honest.
It's got so many neat applications! Lifting cargo from enemy ships, flying down low and just jacking someones vehicle. Even tractoring some unmanned ships and running off with them!
But yeah the Kraken is gonna sweep it absolutely.

I know.....The starlifter had such potential....But considering Lando and all the other dudes really liked it I bet it will get made eventually.

I think that the small salvager, starlifter, and carrier (because let's be frank, the carrier will win the vote) will all eventually get made. The salvager and starlifter have roles that need to be filled, and the carrier is a fan favorite among fan favorites.
Scout carrier, that's happening.
But I also think Starlifter and Vulture are very believable and viable in game.

%THey are calling it a "Pocket Carrier".

So I had to leave about a third way through, I saw the Vulture win then came back to see the vote on the Scout Carrier, so is it one ship or two?
I liked both tbh and they both equally made sense. I prefer the "take the working parts" approach to salvage and would love that kind of gameplay.

I liked ALL of the possible ideas, but I liked the Carrier the best. I'm hoping that they will eventually do concepts for all of those AFTER they do modules for the CAT.
Step 1) approve Kraken (Tortuga)
Step 2) make Cat modules
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Profit

Can we skip steps 1 - 3 as wasteful and just collect profits?
The salvage and scout carrier are actually a neccesity. Think about how many ships some ppl have. What are they going to do if they need to move them all across the verse? Unless they make deconstructing a ship and turning it into a cargo crate an option the non combat scout carrier is really the best way. Its said that the scout will hold more ships than the Idriss so it should do it perfectly. As for the salvage ship. Its a starter salvage ship. Its a must, hands down.
