I really dislike the name Kraken.
It'll probably lead to some unfortunate design choices, like landing bays on extendable arms, or something else that sounds cool (or stupid, see previous mention of extendable arms), but is a right bitch to implement. Lets keep it simple, guys.

Well from the video of a "mobile social space"... how about we go for a mobile BAR!?

A few landing pads, going around picking drinkers and gather TESTies! Some place in the middle of nowhere to party!

That being said, personally I'm more interested in the mid-size "Constellation competitor" though I probably still wouldn't buy one. I already got my 600i thanks.

The kraken is rum... Wright?

To be clear, though, I foresee major problems with all of the ships.
The vulture, they want it to not have an interior (an open canopy design), which is cool, but it'll mean you're completely unable to use it without a support ship or an exact location on whatever you're salvaging.
The kraken has the whole name thing, which could lead to some weird stuff down the line, as I mentioned earlier. Not to mention it's size will lead to a serious increase in the time to develop it.
The corsair's main issue is that I don't really want one it's basically a Connie, but for Drake. Not much to say, there. We do need more medium ships, though.

Out of all of these, I have to say, the Kraken is definitely the one I'd buy. Right now we don't have a dedicated carrier, and that's the kind of ship I'd really like to have. Currently, the Vulture appears to be winning. I'd really rather it didn't. If you don't want a carrier, pick the Corsair.
