neat
:p

...actually, i might even get this one
hmmmmmmm

The largest pack comes with ALL of the Drake ships, even the Kraken. However it is "limited stock" & thankfully "Limit 1 per account" so that grey marketers can't buy them all up to jack up the price once they are all sold out.

It is sexy and seems to pack a punch.

It looks to be about 48m long which is around the size of the Apollo Medivac. But with the long wings is beam I imagine is going to be over 50m.

With the party in the front & business / entry in the back, this is definitely a Drake design. Now the crew just need to have mullets to balance out the ship for it to be a rocking great experience.

I hate how little info this one has. Like no ship page to show more pictures of what it actually entails. Edit: Guess as he said, more info will be posted tomorrow when it actually goes live?

This is an Early Access sale for Concierge backers. The official sale of it begins Friday, March 22, 2019. Which is when there will be the ship page with more details available.

Original info from the "you pick the next drake ship" contest:

B. MULTI-CREW DRAKE EXPLORER (CODE NAME: CORSAIR)
Drake’s competitor to the Constellation, the rough and ready multi-crew explorer. Differs from the 600i by its crude basic construction and from the Constellation by its lower missile count, but with a third turret to make up for it. Able to transport a vehicle and cargo (think extended/up-scaled Cutlass rear area) faster and more nimble than the others, but like all Drake ships pretty paper thin.

 

[GarikDuvall]

Is it bad that I want to buy one, just so I can reserve the ship name for it? Though I don't really need this ship, so guess for once I'll be responsible and not add to my fleet

 

[Talonsbane]

If the walls are truly paper thin, then those that purchase 1 should stock up on TEST brand toilet paper to have the ability to patch the ship's skin paper mache style, but with a much better appearance. Or better yet, use beer residue in the paper mache mix to fully coat the outer skin in advance to thicken the skin & TESTify in the process.

The first Drake ship I have a keen interest in. IIRC, competes with the Connie and is faster and more heavily gunned, but more fragile. Guess we'll see soon.

OH crap. My finger got itchy while I was looking at the page and this happened. I haven't quite figured out what to name the one I can name.
that brings total ship count to 21, with two extra ground vehicles (one's the tank) too... so. I need a few more friends.

that asymmetric wing design will be a bear to fly in atmosphere

I'll be your friend.

that asymmetric wing design will be a bear to fly in atmosphere

Crap, I just saw that. I don't know why I was imagining it like an X-Wing. I like it a bit less. It's now a 9.5/10 for me.
Damn.

I doubt it will happen, look at the original Herald in its asymmetric glory and what happened to it.

That asymmetric design would be a bear to fly, that is true. Some of our ships should not fly in atmosphere, but they do. This is an exploration design, so like the Constellation. that should not fly in atmosphere either, it should spin like a top when climbing or turning. CIG is paying little attention to the physics that would otherwise kill over half their designs.

Insta boner, Drake fan, and Drake are the only ships I own. Sold.
