Who's buying a Caterpillar?!
- Thread starter Xian-Luc Picard
- Start date
Its ok @CrudeSasquatch, I will bunk next to you. I know enough to hide all the steak and some beer under Zapp Brannigan's bunk.
You're more than welcome to. Adventure awaits!
I am too. Very afraid.
Beer and bunks, a bar, and a mobile coffee bar for @Sam K Macer.
We're going to travel and party.
That's all.
Hahaha. Perfect.
Any idea when the sale might be happening (if at all)? The SS Spanakopita must exist.
Together with go-live of PU 2.4 - so say the rumors.

Matt Sherman has said that Drake ships will not be treated differently by law enforcement. Even though some owners of Drake ships engage in illegal activities that's simply their choice. Drake is treated as a respected ship manufacturer in the Verse so unless CIG changes their mind, just because you are piloting a Drake ship doesn't mean you will be treated differently by the in game AI. If you get scanned chances are it's either random, everyone's getting scanned in that system upon entry/exit, or your reputation has spiked their interest. Can't say yet how the player base will treat Drake ships but I would imagine a heightened sense of caution would be a common course of action. Matt Sherman I believed put this in the Buccaneer Q&A but if not there let me know and I will search for the reference.

I really doubt it will go on sale when 2.4 goes live. It will probably happen when the Caterpillar is hangar / flight ready.
There are rumors around - which sound pretty credible - that CIG will give the Cat into a concept sale again due to the fact that her design utterly varies from the original concept. And this concept sale *could* be launched with go-live of 2.4.
@ Matt Sherman: don't know this guy and what he when says - do you have a source? I only can refer to RSI-pages and -wikis, which I did in this case.

Regarding Drake reputation, it's mentioned in the Buccaneer Q&A 1 which went up yesterday:
"No, overall, Drake is still seen as a reputable manufacturer, regardless of what purposes their clients decided to put their ships into. They won’t be subjected to a back-end systemic bias or penalty just for owning one."
Matt Sherman: I always listen to what he says. (don't always agree, but who am I to make suggestions :-P )
You can shoot all drake ships as pirates its the law!
*does a double take at the Cutlass Red avatar and banner*
Ummm...
Ummm...
AI may not target Drake ships, but players who are hired as police sure will target them!
I read it on the interwebs - it must be true!
Ooooooo, and I bought one on the grey market. Oh well.
I get all my facts from the interwebs. That's where I learned that sugar in my gas tank makes my car go super fast!!

They did say that it would be on sale before it is hanger ready, and have already hinted that is closer than we think

I'm no stinky pirate! Drake is a... reputable... organization of shipwrights!
I want to man the forklift in the Cat! Also, can I park my Buccaneer in your haul until the cops stop scanning ships? No reason... really!

but but... isn't my cutlass blue a.. cop car? I guess i'll have to watch my every move..
Did you bring beer? Yes? Then there's always room for you to hide your ship for no reason.
I do this all the time. My wife tells me I'm vane. ;)
Cutlass blue is my Blues mobile! It had to happen! I kind of assume I am a target for everyone whatever I fly so why exclude drake ships in that!!!
