Carrack Count

Will be looking to explore the deepest parts of the verse from Day 1 with my fiancee and hopefully a couple other experienced crewmen.

I did not get one but i am looking into it, i have concerns thst it lists there being no freight units. It makes no sense

On the exploration mini-game if you click the white circle's which pop up, they give you info about the ship. The ship by itself does not have cargo so in that sense those stats on the website are correct, however it does add this:

>CARGO CAPACITY 1440 SCU (per optional cargo pod)

The cargo pods are modular and can be swapped out, so if you want to have a pure cargo ship you can have a total of 4320 freight units since it looks like you can have up to 3 pods.

They should make this info a bit easier to find though.

I picked one up, now I have a DUR, a Aquila and a Carrack, I'm well set for exploration...

 

[Midnight-Angel]

I got one as well, but had to melt a Starfarer for it. Multiple beers were necessary to both celebrate and mourn the loss.

 

[Aflac]

I got one, exploring sounds fun to me. How else to we try new and exotic beers. Hopefully better stuff than tiger beer, that stuff is nasty.

This is it, right? Off the first page of the Carrack browser game?

If that can really hold 4320 freight units, it's going to be very useful for the ship in a multi-purpose sense. I'm sure you might need other modules for long-term deep space exploration, but even one of those would put it within the same ballpark as what an Aquilla could haul, plus you wouldn't have to ditch the rover.

I really liked this image showing the scale of it. Just by it's description, stats, I wouldn't have guessed it was so large!

I really think they did a good job with the Carrack, and I envision it will be a very, very popular ship choice. Perhaps even most people's personal flagship!

 

[WarrenPeace]

It might just be. Either that, or my Reclaimer will be my flagship, because I don't care what I get on the floor with that one.

 

[Progger]

As it is my mission to be the Russell Coight of the 'verse, I found it only natural that I should have a worthy exploration ship. Add me to the list!

I got one too, had to melt my Cutlass Blue and Freelancer MIS to get it but not looking back. I know I won't be a bad ass dogfighter so I focused on other things. I was back and forth between the Aquila and Carrack but the later won in the end.

I do hope we get everything they talked about with it in the end, as some infos are controversial so far (not suprised considering it's a while off until fully released). In the mini-game they mention the cargo capabilities, though the crew number is off by one. Also in the Around the Verse episode if you whatch the bit of the designers, there's supposed to be a rover (parked in front of the firts module) and a small drop ship!

I think I'll get a Freelancer again in game or swap one for my F7C-M (it's my alpha though, so will take a while).

I'll defo need some assistance to fly it properly and bring my Reclaimer along too :)

 

[DER3Z]

I still need a multi crew ship, I think carrack is next on my list.

 

[Tooterfish]

I will also be looking for a crew for my Carrack :)

 

[Bean Bandit]

with enough crew volunteers we could venture out with a small fleet of Carracks I think.

That actually sounds pretty awesome, imagine how that mumble channel is going to sound.

 

[Dalarast]

I'm still on the fence on this. In waiting for the stupid laptop to arrive here to play arena commander. But considering melting some of my "fleet" for the carrack. I wish the gladius was out to compare it verse the hornet to decide on what fighter to keep... Grrrr

I want it. And I want it now. Must resist urge to buy carrack. Holding back wallet.... Spending money on diving and Xmas presents. Must resist....

 

[Flashwit]

Crew member position sounds good. I am definitely not as crazy as you guys with the spending of hundreds of dollars. I shall make a turret my home.

 

[CaptainRichard]

Forgot to post. Count me in as Carrack owner and exploder...I mean...explorer.

Because it's a slightly more beautiful paperweight to sling at the sun than an Aurora.

I see what you did there xD

It's most definetly going to be my flagship.. I really hope the Cutlass and Gladius won't suck in dogfighting since these are the only other ships I have left. Next to my Missile Aurora that is. And yes the aurora is my missle.

Need is a big word but I know what you mean xD. You will allways be welcome on mine that's what I got it for xD.
