Too many Carracks?
- Thread starter Setrius
- Start date
I love the Carrack & I look forward to exploring it that with you wonderful TESTies. I call dibs on being designated pilot whenever you all get so sloshed that you can't figure out how to sit in the seat to properly TEST pilot our ship into whatever we're discovering so we can properly leave our mark on the unique areas of the Verse. Hehehe
Also, I came across this the other day while looking up Titles that you can have in game. If you complete this, you earn the Title of Cartographer.

100% oxygen will any organism, it's even used as an antibacterial measure in labs to ensure no life or containments remain.
That's just an idealistic representation of a person's ambition which comes to fruition in an improbable timeframe.
My friends call me buzzkill.
Allow me to paraphrase, too much is never enough. The Carrack has a dedicated medbay (so far as we know) so that is where I expect to be, hanging out in your Carrack medbay and waiting to stick needles, uh, treat people. Some of us like support jobs.
ok, i recall my previous statement, we have ONE special snowflake....
Ha!coughcoughchokecough. Excuse me. Was taking a sip of Dr Pepper when I read that. Wasn't pretty.
Once I had too much Clymida.

No, there won't be too much Carracks. Fact is, that Star Citizen has NOT 2 mio. backers currently. Lots of these accounts are double (or multi) accounts of people who think, that they need more than one account for their gameplay ambitions. Plus there presumably are LOTS of accounts with no ships, just to claim a name or for whatever reason. So, lets say, there are 500k active accounts (in fact, I think that there are NOT as many active accounts). How many of them own a Carrack? 10%? 1%? When Star Citizen will go live, there will be fresh meat, erm, players who want to try and play, but do not want to pay more than 100 EUR. And how many players will that be? Well, at least as many as currently have an account but no game package (and /or ship); plus, lets say 1 mio. new players. Only a minor part of them will instantly buy large ships. The major part won't - but nevertheless want to be part of a large crew on a capital ship!
So, long story short: nothing to see here. There can't be "enough" or "too much" Carracks because there aren't.
indeed, It’s movies like this that restore my faith in humanity.

Even if there are a lot of Carracks, they are intended to be so fantastically customizable that I don't think anyone would be wise to make assumptions about them. I'll bet there will be at least 20 subsystems one can custom for any ship, making no two the same.
If the ship grows like so many are apt to, and that wee hangar can fit a fair cross-section of craft, that will enhance the individuality of them even more.
If you love it, buy it. The BMM will not have anything like the same customization and it will probably be the smallest ship with full cap-ship sized scan. Rare and powerful, to have that sort of tool run with just a few PCs.

For ones faith in Humanity to be restored, one has to have had some in the first place.
Those films mock me. If only I could have been... a dancer.

Short answer. NOpe.
- The space in this game is massive.
- Even in MMO's like WOW the number of concurrent players is small percent of their total subscriber base.
- NPC's will be your typical interaction as well as creating the backdrop to your stories. Their ships will be in keeping with what would be expected for a real living breathing universe.
- Even with in the player population who owns a Carrack they will diversify and fly lots of other ships.
Exactly this. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find two Carracks with the same loadout and modifications.
Spaek for yerself there buddy. I'm as special as you are.
So you have one?How do you tell if someone owns a Carrack?
Don't worry, they'll let you know.
For some reason it seems like Carrack really really really like speculating/talking/circlejerking about it, which I think makes it seem like the Carrack is more common/populous than it may be in actuality.
It and the BMM are going to have interesting times once they are finally flight ready and some backers that massively overhyped their ships in their heads have to face a non-perfect ship.
Ding, Ding. Count me in.
Why not both like the rest of us?
Well said, brother. I owe a bottle of VSOP for your bridge table.
You shall have the pilot seat in my Carracks maiden voyage, sir. I shall be below preparing drinks
