Hahahaha 😂

Name accepted

Aaaaand it is officially the name of the ship

It literally is not a Cat it has zero modularity and is more liberator than Cat.

Officially the Drake Fattapillar 🎉

Taken down by a plushie! So tragic!

@@joelellis7035 Emotional Damage

It was Jared all along!

No surprise though 🙂

That was so funny lol please keep doing these, especially the meme ones. Golden!!!

I had the same thought. Soon as he said that I started shouting YES!

Agree!

It’s nice. They bumped it up 2 years ago and bumped it again now that it’s officially a cap class now. Very happy and it’s still not too stronk for what it is. Just powerful enough to actually be able to go off on its own(with a ship inside of course) like it’s meant to.

Such a good move. I always felt like everything but the turrets felt like a capital class ship. The turrets always looked mismatched for the size of the ship. LFG!!

Will the up gunning be another purchase? Weapons upgrade kit. I heard it mentioned by others. I hope not, but CIG love making money.

What a timeline lmaooo

I was pleasantly surprised to see that referenced! I frequently make Drake jokes which reference the rapper. Great to see CIG lean into that too!

Made me chuckle a bit lmao

They should make the ship zoom in feature Picture in Picture so it doesn’t break immersion

THEY DIDN'T NOOOOOOOO 💀💀💀💀

Liberator is like: wat about me?🤣

swarms of fury getting out of that canopy :P

@@memer5auru5 Liberator? Never heard of her!! D4L

It at least has 2 at the front on those blade like fins. I'm not seeing anything at the rear to balance them out though.

@@jwonyoutube I will say if ya missed LTI for the lib, here’s ur chance ya know?

It's making me question how quickly I can pick up some low-cost game packages to make sure I have enough personal NPC crew to handle it without hiring out.

I doubt this comes soon. And when this comes will be a payoff like having to pay a salary to these crew members and provide'em with food, water, quarters and equipment.

Yup. NPC Crew is #1 for me. As a Solo player, i am going to build a great crew with my NPC buddies. Going to be nice every time i log on my NPC Crew is there ready to go.

That's so Drake!

It’s a “Uh the Liberator is really dumb, so let’s build it right this time”.

"How can we make this bigger?" Looks at three caterpillars parked next to each other. "I have an idea so crazy it might just work". haha

Drake, making barns fly.

And i am loving it.

Can we now finally vote for him for imperium

Chris who

They should fire the idiot. He's arrogant, condescending and a cancer on the community.

I'd almost say for many in the Community Jared was the face of SC for quite a while. And I#ve to say I like it that way.

its the kind of ship i expect an alien to murder me in.

it's look like the cowboy bebop ship

Check out the crucible. Feels like the ultimate portable home, albeit this ironclad has more guns, it also is a lot bigger.

It's the kind of ship I expect to find the most in Pyro.

@@angerskarin9222 that's the reclaimer

when you catch yourself praising a multibillion dollar company on using live motion concept art to sell virtual space ships, you know you're a CIG simp

@@thijssie1987 sorry for enjoying things. I'll do better next time.

It helps that they have it in greybox already. I think that if they continue to wait til the vehicle is in the greybox phase to show it off for sale, it will help players have more faith in upcoming concept ships, rather than expecting it to take years before it even gets into greybox s

If that's what being a SIMP for them is, then I am a major SIMP! Haha, so many games out there, making so much money, especially on micro transactions. At least this game you get to thoroughly enjoy what you put in. Or, you can simply purchase everything in game after the initial purchase of the game. The basics here is, people willingly have put their money into the ships, happily even! CIG is giving us what we want and we are choosing to pay for it. I think they are doing amazing work and breaking records! I am a total simp for them if appreciating what they are doing makes it so. :P

@@thijssie1987 multibillion dollar? Lmao

Heck yeah, couldn't agree more!

Someone here called it Fatterpillar and i think thats gotta be its new internal name

​@canismokethis1812 definitely going to be fat. The Hercules can carry 2 Tonks. This can carry 4. I estimate about 1400 SCU storage for the "Ironclad".

"there was once a very hungry. Genetically modified caterpillar"

@@joelellis7035 people are saying this will replace the Hercules line of ships, the thing is the hercules are probably much faster, and harder to hit then this brick.

@@angerskarin9222 i would hope so, if in my opinion if the A2 and M2 dont have some sort of either armor, shield, speed, or other advantage over the fatterpillar, then there's no real reason to own one of those other than personal preference.

Where was the spaceman reveal?

Jeremy Boreing of the Daily Wire? Won't this offend the Leftists at CIG?

@@Czejenesku At the end of the video

You mean the FATTAPILLAR?

@@johnski4709 let’s not bring politics into this. Just enjoy the game, that’s we are here for after all.

They can make him a news reporter appearing on the big screens.

@@Haegemon please CIG make it happen lol

It's the Beltalowda way.

We used to do that with 890s and freelancers, it used to be the only way to sell their cargo before the refactor :D

"Fine you can have my cargo" "Nope, land in the hanger" o.O

That's the plan, yeah.

thats quite literally what piracy is

The proposed changes were amazing... GIB!

What could that possibly mean? All turrets receive size 5s? That would hardly be enough to fight other capital ships like they mentioned. But what could it be then? S6 doesnt exist and S7 on all turrets would render the Perseus useless.

yeah when it gets less shields then other Capitals it need more firepower :D

@@rahlap2449 S6 does exist and it would be awesome if the Polaris does get that

@@rahlap2449the Perseus is a much smaller ship, it’s not meant to be compared to

@@rahlap2449you can currently buy s6 weapons ingame, lol. They were even balanced for 3.23 but not a single ship is using them. The polaris would be a perfect usecase. To be honest, i expected the current model to use them, would’ve been a top fit. Got instead those pea shooters.

😂 me too!

The natives, on the other hand, were surprised at how it flew in exactly the way bricks don't...

I get you, but I would rather have them fix the Reclaimer, so you can offload from the Reclaimer. Also, there does need to be a midsized salvager, Vulture is a "light salvage" reclaimer a "heavy salvage". The Vulture feels too small to really warrant the new ship, being more in line with a Cutlass or Connie Andromeda for cargo. Reclaimer is closer to what an Ironclad would be wanted for, but even then the Ironclad is too small, with the Reclaimer having a "snap" storage of 420 (which currently doesn't include the salvage hold, cargo hold, and only half of the processing hold) so final numbers for that would be in the potential of thousands of SCU. So there does need to be a mid sized, with a salvage hold in the low to mid hundreds (as opposed to the Vulture's 13 SCU) but not the thousands (the Reclaimer after it goes through an update, most likely).

@@Mikalent Just what we need. The Arrastra reworked for salvage! It can bolt its boxes to the hull exterior.

It's already here now I've seen his avatar in game on someone else lol

Yeah though it does worry me that they say you don't want to detach it unless you really have to... For the ironclad. I hope that doesn't blow over to the Cat. How awesome isn't it to be able to plonk down cargo barges w/o command module and ferry those back and forth, and use as temp bases, etc. etc.

@@Godwinsname yeah man exactly. I want to use the command pod for more than an emergency evac

>They made No they haven't. Insted of finishing old Caterpillar they dumped it and teased a new one. More empty promises, more nonexistent ships.

Doesn't look like itll have rearm repair. but u could def transport ships. Or steal ships in soft death.

​@@madbomber8183they said the other variant has a repair facility

​@@alexpetrov8871easier to make something totally new I guess

@@Cmdr_V Well it's a size up from the Cat. I hope they overhaul the Cat because it's a cool idea with the modules. I want to see those get implemented. But this new ship is amazing for Cargo and sets the standard IMO.

Haha true 😂

Release planned for 2051

​@@Shypagreat! I look forward to my 76th birthday 🎂!!

@@joelellis7035 But it will not be gold-standard this date, just to be clear!

@@Shypa okay, then I'll save my money for the artificial organ replacement so I can live to see the gold-standard version in 2078.

Scooters never gonna hear the end of it.

Are you sure? The other people there were not immediately fleeing in terror, and the event hall is still intact...

Does this mean MEMAW is actually Jared?!

@@xkitejunkie they both have the same beard shape.

@@xkitejunkie No, it means that ain't Memaw. Did you see anyone get eaten? I didn't. And Memaw would be double fisting two double-dogs in each hand, while still managing to berate Scooter into getting more.

Relax, it's just concept ATM.

@@Maufinvest until they pile devs onto it

Have fun with the C2 engineering

@@eggertime Well, than every ship which isnt a fighter will be unflyable solo. Even a Freelancer has Components which can be hit, its not much different in a C2. Its a bit more to walk, but walking only makes a few % of the needed time in Engineering Gameplay.

@friest1984 realistically, Yes. However there is a difference between having to sprint a football field and having to sprint to the back of a bus.

TBF, the interior of a Hercules is only _half_ a football field.

the assault variant still can be called butterfly :P

I get where you're coming from, but I think they named it Caterpillar because well... it kinda looks like one haha

But a Buttefly is pretty. Nothing Drake makes is pretty.

Or a connected name, like Drake Monarch. Sounds pretty good to me.

Drake IronClad Butterfly

Probably 1400 SCU, minimum. The C2 carries two Tonks, and the Ironclad is concepted to carry 4.

Every server is going to have 400 polaris when its released.

@@jasonfrost5025 As it was with the Carrack. They'll balance out as people melt them after they get a chance to try it.

win go win win?!

@@sssicario8793 😆

We want more basement updates

Seems to be more observation / operation deck, rather than command deck (and the command unit *looks* like it might be compatible with the one for the Cat - so it could swap between them).

Literally could of had a 3 seat set up like the connie with the pilot being in the middle especially considering the ship has pilot controlled weapons on it.

I understand they might be wanting to do a sort of theme but the central area just throws the whole ship off for me. Idk. I'd have to see it in game.

Perseus is a sub cap ship with a fraction of the crew requirement and has bespoke guns iirc so it'll have a bit of kick to it even compared with a upgunned polaris. Pretty fair that a military cap ship gets at least one turret with equal size guns to it and a minelayer.

The Perseus is a sub-capital capital killer. The Polaris is a capital ship and deserves to have bigger guns than it currently is slated to have

⁠The perseus is a subcapital large slayer. Nowhere was it said it slays anything capital. Would be also comical, considering s7 weapons are the defacto standard weapon against large ships (capitals use far larger weapons against each other like the idris s10 railgun, the javelin s12 torpedos and s9 turrets, the polaris s10 torpedos etc). And even using those giant weapons it will take some time for them to hurt each other. The javelin has s7 broadside batteries dotted all over the hull. Considering battles between capitals are supposed to last longer than 15 seconds with all this firepower you can imagine how durable capitals are and how much actual damage 4 s7 weapons will do. That was also the main argument for the upgunning of the polaris. Giving it a s7 turret won’t change jack in the anti capital area. Thats torpedo territory. But it helps to put up pressure against large ships like the hammerhead.

Wait till Perseus gets it's up-gun. I can taste Polaris owners tears now.

@@TiberusV Perseus owner myself, but she ain't gonna get close enough to use her guns when the S10 torps start flying.
