Hot off the press: Valkyrie now gets some cargo space.

As in the title, just announced on Spectrum:

Anvil Valkyrie Cargo Update - Star Citizen Spectrum

Hi everyone, We’ve received a lot of feedback requesting clarification surrounding secured vs. unsecured cargo and desire for the Anvil Valkyrie to carry cargo. We spent some time thinking about...

No shit... hmm

Maybe I need one.

 

[Grimm_Reaper]

Noooooo....... I didn't buy one due to the open design and lack of cargo carrying. Now I might have to actually buy it damn.

 

[Printimus]

lol reverse stance! Guess I have more of a reason not to get rid of my valk now?

 

[Montoya]

Its still relatively weak when it comes to weaponry.

The Retaliator with drop ship module is better armed.

But the Valk is just cool with those door gunners!

But the Valk is just cool with those door gunners!

Which is why you should own one.

 

[DorianSkyphire]

too bad they don't give a limited opportunity to buy it with LTI now, since that lack of info previously impacted purchasing decisions.

 

[Vavrik]

Oh this is getting more and more difficult to avoid buying one of these.

The Valk pilot can be effective by themselves as the pilot has fire control over some of the ships weapons. The retaliator is completely reliant on crew.

After watching the part about the prowler, I am not so interested in my Valk anymore.. kinda want the new shiny drop ship

Do't let the Master Chief hear you say that, he might think you are Covenant scum! But I do like the Prowler too, it has some neat features.

That is very true

 

[Sraika]

That's neat

i strongly suspect that this is less about people asking for cargo and more that it's a lot easier for them to stick to both cargo and vehicle than to just having it work for vehicles

I personally doubt it - vehicles and cargo on the grid are going to get handled quite differently anyways, talking from a work standpoint there shouldn't be much difference.

I must say, I REALLY like the compromise of not being able to stack cargo high - this is perfect for a drop ship. Cargo and weapon crates yai!

 

[Thalstan]

I wonder how effective cargo crates would be at stopping incoming fire....

Like we would use beer cans to stop incoming fire. That would be abuse and not tolorated.

 

[Cugino83]

Hmm actually I'm kinda of sad about this news...
I like the idea of ship that can't do anything and the Valk was a good assault dropship, good for the role it has been designed for: trasport troop and a light support vehicle to the hot zone and provide alimmited fire support to the troops non the ground.
I mean... it's like use an Idri, to do cargo run or troop transport... you know, sice it hase a BIG empty space (the flying deck)...

 

[LoicFarris]

I guess the reason why I like what they're doing is because, if there's room there on the floor, why not let me put crates in there if I want to? I have a redeemer, if I'm flying with a few Testies and we decide to pick up a bit of cargo, why shouldn't I be able to place it on the floor and transport it. I mean it's not the ideal ship for a cargo run, but if there's room on the floor, why not?

 

[Vavrik]

Empty beer cans. Fill them with I dunno, shit or something... which in a cutlass might be handy considering there's no can to shit in. They also double as ammunition.

So I had one on subscription last month and I liked it but the cargo thing was an issue. Now I have just gotten one and hit concierge at the same time. Damnit now there is more stuff I want.
