lame.
tbh Im ok with the idea of rewards for beating challenges but should probably be for hangar flair or something.
That said, I'm sure it'll be back and unrestricted next time.

Same stats as the Caterpillar
I used:
- 2x fixed Panthers
- 1x M6A and 2x M3A (for the not so fast overheat)
and I had a capable companion, also SH. I only lost 2 ships, one due to a collision with my companion.

The SH is the discerning gentleman's dickslap to the faces of rivals.
Takes a load of punishment but remains in one piece, pauses and after a discreet, aristocratic cough from the butler it turns on it's axis and explodes the attacker effortlessly.
I love it very much.

I beat it today in my F7CM with another SH and a Wildfire. The other SH was blasting people with the shotguns.
My loadout is:
3 x Fixed Panther CF-227
2 x Fixed Badger CF-117
My pips are a little offset on group 2 with the 2 x 117 and 2 x 227, but on the bigger ships, I get in close enough to hold down both mouse buttons and unload all 5 repeaters at once. When I'm closing and shooting, I just use the 2 x 227s on the wings.
The guy with the shotguns got 1st place with me in a close 2nd. I tried them out on the Sabre and I was underwhelmed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Before or after my post?
If after my post, then I can only get one Pirate Caterpillar. That doesn't mean that I can't help other people to get theirs :smile:

It's a limited time, but I haven't heard how long that is. Once you beat Pirate Swarm you will have the option to buy it or the $0 CCU if you already have a Cat. After that you will not be able to purchase another. The ship itself is giftable too.

Not sure if it was before or after. I switched to that load out a few days ago when I realized 2.6 neutered my 3 x fixed broadsword, 2 x Tarantula 870 build.
My first fight in PS was with 3 fixed broadswords and a Revenant. Luckily my companions got rid of the M50s and Gladius, the broadswords really are too slow for them, but against Vanguards and Cutlasses this setup worked just fine, it earned me my Pirate Caterpillar CCU.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that your leetness exceeds mine. I'm not a great pilot and I had a harder time keeping rounds on target in 2.6 than 2.5. More skill and practice might get me to the point where I can compete with ballistics again. Until then, it's more pew pew pew and less boom boom for me.
I also don't have a good aim and like the repeaters more then ballistics. My 2nd successful run was with Panthers and a M6A :grin:
Yes! Please. Is it still available?
Yeah, I tried a build like that. You run out of ammo quickly, but you sure are awesome for a while! You could turn that middle Gatling into bullet storage.3 Mantis Gattling and a Revenant Gattling gun.
Still available, @Black Sunder also is interested but wanted to earn one himself.
When I'm at home again and the kids are in bed (10 hours from now, aprox) I can help out.
