2 medium landing pads, Hammerhead: "yes"

The base kraken is much more versatile in hauling the once former cargo of someone else.

Privateer hands down. I want to manage a safe harbor somewhere in zero security space that offers fuel and food to everyone, protected by it's neutrality and tolerated by the forces that be. Kind of like a freeport in EVE Online.

Enjoyed this one vici! Kraken is a goal for me in this game. While the added features of the Privateer are appealing the raw potential and extra fuel of the base win me over. Can’t wait to see these logistical beasts in game.

Solid video!!. I picked up a base kraken. Hope they implement the ability to upgrade to the privateer in-game... if not the BMM will due just fine.

Awesome video! Definitely getting a base Kraken!

My man, your voice is absolutely amazing for analysis/review style videos. Ever consider expanding your content or other games?

Hey Vici thanks for the shoutout I appreciate it :-)

the privateer is the best!

pry-vah-teir, you're killin me XD

My fav concept ship(s)!

Great vid, tho I disagree with the landing ratings. Both can land planetside just fine, it's even part of the concept art. That's the reason they have, I think it's 6 Vtol thrusters, specifically for landing and taking off.

privateer owners will be able to change to the cargo version at docking on main towns like a swap that can be done

Why have the Dragonflly hanger if the Kraken can't land. Wouldn't it have been useful to use that space for something else?

Im waiting to see what they do for the other ship makers. The Kraken being released means they're probably thinking about other carriers.

Kraken should be able to land and take off on its own

Don't think i can agree with the combat rating for the Kraken. For the size of the ship it's lacking in a lot of fire power an only has upper medium sized turrets which would most likely be most effective against medium targets. Comparing that the railguns, or the torpedos or just the amount of larger guns and amount of smaller turrets. All the landing pads for ships shouldn't be in that calculation as it is highly dependent on which ship is on and it's not the Krakens combat powers but the individual ships.

I don't understand the appeal of the Privateer. The Kraken at its core is a support/carrier. It will be able to do that job better with more cargo space. There are other ships for mobile shopping like the BMM (with lower running cost) and I think mobile shopping in general will not be very popular, since players prefer to know where to get what specific gear/component.

So... I got both.

Yes! my favorite unreleased CAPITAL ship! I hope CIG considers capital ships like the Kraken as an ORG ship when its out and about in the Persistent Universe, when the owner of the Kraken calls it out, it will give that player the choice to designate it as an ORG ship, where ORG mates will be able to spawn in if they so choose allowing better logistics when it comes to joining ORG mates playing in the PU. That alone would make the CAPITAL ships a really prized ship as it can spawn in players of an ORG and can allow them to do stuff together AND makes for fun gameplay since if a CAPITAL ship is out in the verse its going to be a nice juicy target for rival ORGs to take out, especially since SC is now experimenting with base building, a CAPITAL ship like the Kraken makes a LOT of sense as a mobile ORG base, thinking about it makes me really hope CIG nails its first iteration of Capital ship with the Polaris, its not quite the size of the Kraken, but its a great step to promoting actual multiplay/multi crew gameplay since its easy to join ORG mates in the PU, excellent vid as always 👍👍👍👍

*Not financial advice.

I really like this game, but honestly, this ship will never make it into the game to be purchased, maybe it's part of something in the arena commander or some temporary King of the Hill style domination event where you rely on it for some time , even so, this would only be possible if we have content for organizations. Let's be honest, it's a great ship but we'll never have it, take the Orion as an example, which was the ship that made me buy this game, I basically have no hope that it will make it into the game either and it was the ship on the cover for years of the game, Or Idris who could be what this ship in the video could become, an NPC with a lot of health and just that. A shame but I don't expect much from this ship. However, the video is motivating and exciting, congratulations.

I'm guessing u have to buy these with real money and if so how much, asking for a friend loll

and this goes out to all the orgs all the everybody stop buying these ships for what they are now they never stay the f****** same and everybody always complains even though they warn you four times before you buy

You dont need stores to be able to trade. The privateer is almost a waste of time.

Kraken Privateer > Idris > Base Kraken
