That being said, they'll often soften a price increase with a Warbond sale at the previous price, meaning if you aren't paying store credit, you'll be able to avoid the increase or at least most of it.


You can't buy it now, but it will be available at the expo that's coming up in November. It has 4 beds and can carry ground vehicles apparently up to the size of the Ursa, which is also great for exploration as it can take the entire crew. So it sounds like the ideal mid-size exploration ship. Problem is, there's not much left for us to explore in Stanton currently, but in Pyro there should be many more opportunities, considering there'll be only one landing zone and six planets. If Pyro was releasing soon, I'd buy this, but who knows when it may come with all the delays. Earlier I could imagine would be Easter.

That said, if anyone is thinking about spending some real cashmoney on the game, this ship would be a good addition to our fleet considering Adjudicator and ysignal will have four Spirits between them, and I have a Scorpius.

The massive one is the Drake Kraken capital ship.

Star Citizen Wiki wrote:The Drake Corsair is a multi-crew explorer that gives up defenses for a focus on versatility and firepower. With asymmetric, convertible wings and a large cargo hold, the Corsair adapts to harsh environments, combat situations, and hot landing zones with equal ease. Up to four crew can be accommodated in the Corsair's functional quarters, and a full complement of scanning suites along with a pair of quantum fuel tanks provide the means and method of exploring distant, dangerous stars.

Drake Interplanetary wrote:TAKE ON THE UNKNOWN

You hear the song of far-off galaxies, of systems uncharted and frontiers untamed. The spirit of exploration is inescapable. 

This is the spirit of the Drake Corsair – the bold, indomitable will of Humankind and its relentless pursuit of fortune, exploration, and knowledge.

Who knows what you’ll discover out there, but you can face the unknown with confidence thanks to the Corsair’s formidable shipboard weaponry and its unique convertible wings. It’s a worthy companion, supporting you in battle, discovery, and delivery, wherever the winds of adventure take you.


The video that plays at the top of this page is stunning. Makes you get a feel for the size of both the planets and the ship. Everything is huge. I love also the focus on the 4-man outlaw crew in these pics:

Skip to 27:12 to see the loading. He puts in a Cyclone and a Mule, and there's plenty of space for more. Then you can see him touring inside a little bit. It was exciting just to watch.

The Eternity paint looks like it would fit the piracy paints we have.

It really looks Darth Vader mean like people are saying.

The wear and tear btw is because the guy had been using it for a while before taking the pics.
