Yeah nevermind that ship you pledged for years ago that's not even being talked about, fresh cash now!
The Valkyrie Dropship--ready to fly?!!!
- Thread starter Shadow Reaper
- Start date
I have resigned myself to the fact that the Endeavor will probbably release after the game leaves Beta and most of the new ships will be flyable before it... I believe they even said that this was going to be the case in its concept sale in 2015 so I've set myself up for a long wait
That Valkyrie, it whispered dirty things in my ear. Next thing I knew I had one in my hanger. Oh well, these things happen.

I bought one cause...wait....How do I finish this sentence
Where's the toilet? It wasn't clearly shown in the video.
What's the cargo capacity?

I'm honestly torn between getting this later & upgrading my Hoplite to it.
Also, while watching the segments that showed the Valkyrie, did anybody else get a mental image of a music video blend of SC with this along with the music to Apocalypse Now?

Where's the toilet? You saw the side doors, right? ;p Just mow down the adversaries during the 1st pass & then as you pass back by you can drop your personal bombs on their corpses.
I see what you did there, Private Joker, and my finger hovered over the “buy” button for exactly the same reason. Still might buy one, for exactly the same reason!

You can even climb in via the side doors. It has a little step.
It was a pretty cool ship to check out, I dig the side turrets and it's ability to change which position the soldiers deploy from if need be. Easily the best dedicated dropship right now. Looks like the redeemer is taking the gunship role.
Damn it. I really, really wanted one. But I had to think of what would be the best ROI for the Spicyweiner conglomerate and TEST Squadron. So I got a Connie Phoenix. Because I looked around that Valk and saw no signs of a hot tub, a bar or a piano
UPDATE: I'm cruising around in the Phoenix, and I stop the ship to head back to the lounge for a drink and a dip in the hot tub. I go to the bar and try to grab a bottle, but it don't work(yet). SO, I walk over to the hot tub and push the button that uncovers the tub, but it don't work(yet). The piano hasn't even been installed(yet). So's I immediately fly back to olisar, quit the game, and buy a Valk. Pew Pew party fun! Oh, I kept the Phoenix of course, I'm not an idiot(as far as you know)

I don't think it has cargo plates. Nothing listed, but if vehicles count as cargo, one could argue; whcih may be why nothing on the ships page.
Wait until some speed numbers come in. If the Hoplite is twice as fast, could still be the better choice. Fighting from a transport is generally a bad idea. You're much better off flying past problems than risking a crew. I think this is going to rule in situations that actually need 3 Hoplites, and very few of those will be space boardings. 3 Hoplites costs much more, but would seem to me to do a better job unless you need a vehicle.
I feel you but I'm really considering melting my redeemer. I'm on the fence because other than a gunship there is virtually no info, that I've been able to find, on where they're taking it or what they're going to do with it.
Sweet ship that fills a role I wanted to have in the game. I'll get one as soon as I can.
Finally I can get my space shuttle door gunner on.

They said is going to become a pure gun ship much like the AC-130 Spectre gunship and would be a great complement to the Valkyrie.
It really is shaping up to be similar to this.
I picked up a few 5% off codes for the Valkyrie in case anyone needs one.
I always suggest buy and fly what is available, rather than wait and wonder what a ship will be like. There is plenty of time to swap out stuff in the future.
The Vangards are going to be hard to beat, especially in atmo.
