The Caterpillar is a limited edition ship, available only during special events... but to celebrate this reveal, we're putting it on sale again for the weekend.

Ahoy mateys,
I might have to relent and buy both, I am up for some space piracy and swashbuckling :)
 
I must say, the Interieur of the Cater is much better then the Constellation. Even a Captains Office, Crewroom etc. is really nice.

Its much more like Firefly then the Constellation or Freelancer.
 
From the cabin layout, it looks like the Caterpillar is made for a crew of six to twelve (given the six bunks, four flight deck seats, etc.), while the Constellation is made for a crew of four to six (Captain, copilot, two turret gunners, P-52 pilot).
 
The caterpilliar, unlike the Constellation isn't designed for manoeverabillity or dogfighting. It's a support craft. I really like it, and it's heavily armored but the description mentions needing to fly with a fighter escort. The main reason for the extra space is for your boarding party when you want to take over other ships.
 
Ah Ya Scurvy Dogs,

Join Cap'n Oggy's Skull and Cross bone Crew an I promise ye plunder the likes o' which you've never seen.

In all seriousness, how might the pirating work? Is it a matter of pummeling them until they drop their cargo pods, or is it latch on, drill the hull and FPS shooter boarding actions, seizing the ship. that would be pretty cool, I could recreate Edward Teach's seizing of the frigate, Queen Annes Revenge :)

Which Wingnut has a Frigate I can "borrow" j/k :p
 
I wish there was something in the size/price range of the Freelancer but with the industrial feel of the Caterpillar.

Isn't that the idea behind the Cutlass? It's only slightly cheaper than a Freelancer and by the same maker as the Caterpillar. This is the Culass Interior:

The "Apache" from Star Citizen ;)

And looks like someone Subscriber postet the Retaliator:

And she looks sexy. I was first thinking that the side turrets are like a B-17 with just 1 Laser gun but this looks nice. The trusters looks covered in the hull. And those wings maybe deployd in battle or planet. I like it. Now I wait for 10.10. for the complete concept art. Nice design. My Warpig is soon ready for some pirate scumbag! 12 Class 3 + 5 Turrets!!! Deal with it!

Arrr Deathsnake,

Just drop ye cargo and there be no need for any unpleasantness...

I've never played as a pirate on any game before, but I might give it a serious go in star citizen, I have always been on the "good" side in so much. Of course, I could become a Privateer and operate under a letter of marque
 
Then we never have a deal :) I'm never played as a trader. In Privateer just the storybased missions. I was at BWC before a few weeks but leave it now and are in a new guild. You can hire us for escort missions (no contraband!) bounty hunter or patrol missions.
So I never have cargo ;) The Reta is my gunship and the Connie is for bounty hunter missions :) The question is: How would look the Connie Promo looks? Trader - no interessting, a military version? How? Get 2 P-52 inside or without the cargo and the P-52 but much more armed? I'm not sure if my Hornet stay...if the Origin 890 Jump comes on 10.10 and is a luxury transport for passangers... I would reclaim 2 of my NPC acc and the Hornet for it.

The Reta there for heavy firepower, the Connie for exploration, dogfight (4 TR6 and 8 TR3 flys circles around a 325A or the Hornet), and the P-52 for interception. My first goal ingame would be the Idris :)

I'm the only one who think about the Afterlife in ME2 ?
