Video does a good job showing off the various points where the ships land and dock. Other videos are not as close to the ships hull, and yours shows off the detail better IMHO.
Utterly amazing. Especially the level of attention you brought to things like med access and even air shields. That is the kind of pre-visualization CIG you should do (before releasing ships where all windows are obstructed). Thanks for your work.
Freaking glorious, if you applied for one of CIG's numerous vacancies you'd be a shoe in. But then we would miss out on these awe inspiring sneak peeks. I'm so conflicted 😐
mining? does this look like a mining ship? how does this help a mine fleet? carry them there? shit pilots can fly there on own faster easier. i think this ship would hurt any industry type fleet mine fleets dont need carriers so wheres the perfect come in?
@@kevinalmeida7159 Flopperstein is absolutely correct, and how I plan to use mine. No, it is not a mining ship, what it is is a mobile space station. Operating a deep space mining operation, with an Orion or two, MOLEs and Propspectors, you will need a significant support infrastructure. You will need medical, repair, refuel, resupply and supplies. You will need cargo capabilities to take ore to market, and bring back supplies. And you will need a base to support and coordinate all this. To put all the smaller ships on when you move from one system to another. You have to think of things when we have many systems, and travel times extend into days or longer to reach your destination. In our one system now it does not make sense, but in the future it absolutely will.
@@caractacuspotts680 to each their own use what you want for what you want is my opinion but the notion that its perfect for mining hahahaha requires my response to such a silly statement. perfect is right tool for the right job and kraken is not the best tool though you and or many may use this tool for mining. what is 1s budget maybe the odyssey is better or the liberator? maybe what i believe is the miners best tool.... the starfarer but regardless you do you just make silly statement and i will say how silly it is
@@kevinalmeida7159 so in your opinion, a dedicated fuel platform is more suited to deep space mining than a mobile space station to act as a mobile space station supporting deep space mining ships. Lol.
I can imagine a Kraken converted to a prison ship with landing pad/elevator space for 4 Hawks and either 2 Cutlass Blues, or a Cutlass Blue and a Mantis or an Avenger Warlock. Inside, there's plenty of space for holding cells.
Also, could a Prospector fit on the 2 medium landing pads? If so, then the Kraken would make a great mothership for a mining operation. An Argo MOLE can fit on one of the smaller landing pads, could it? Inside, there's definitely space for a refinery, cargo storage, and since it can land on a world, ramps and hangars for single or Dual Seat ROCs.
Fantastic job! You seriously need more subscribers! Only problem I have is the two internal hangars being separated, I'm pretty sure those will both be one whole big hangar.
It’s something the org I’m at has considered, maybe not build a base around the kraken, but ground it near where we are gonna build the base, it is a decent enough deterrent and can maintain security while the base is being made.
@@AstroChronicles Oh my god I just realised how freaking epic orgs making their own little stations with unused ships, maybe couple of catterpillars with different modules inside for different purposes, maybe having a cutlass red as the med bay and so on...
@@bobmcdermotte305 Cutlass Red only has a tier 3 medical bed a org flotilla would need a ship with at least a tier 2. Currently the Apollo or Endeavor Hope which are planned to use T2 and T1 beds seem to be the best bet paired with ships like the Cutlass Red to transport people to these ships that can treat more severe injuries. Honestly thinking of picking up an Apollo next chance I get or a Endeavor Hope potentially since the Cutty Red seems to be just a middle man.
we need ships to have energy shielding for exterior doors and hangar bays similar to the prowler honestly its way cooler and more space efficient then having an airlock, would be nice seeing it on more ships, especially luxury ships/expensive ships
me before im sure i need a KRAKEN "i dunno" after this video "so if i just eat ramen for a few months and miss a few bills ill have enough for my video game space ship"
Man, that was well done. It really provided a great scale of reference and insight into the layout. Did you extrapolate what is behind the doors on the XS landing pads and the air shields? I have always wondered what was behind those doors. With the people and ships and focused perspectives, this has provided me with a much greater understanding of the ship.
Thank you so much for making this. I've been sitting here feeling cucked for the past 2 years waiting to see more of my ship. I can't wait to fly it... It is my lifelong dream for this game. @_@
Curious to see how take off and flight in atmosphere works with this ship if it’s laden with other ships on its external pads… assuming they may need to simply fly out of atmosphere on their own and re-dock with the ship in space. That would be a bit of work but would honesty look really cool and basically be a built in escort.
Hello, I'm thrilled to see that you've created a model of the Kraken. I'd like to incorporate the sea monster into mods for other games, but I've noticed that the current ship models lack any textures; they're all white. Could you please sell me the textured Kraken model? I really love it for my spaceship!
Its part of the SC soundtrack. Its called First Light by Pedro Commacho. It first debuted here and is a huge hit among SC fans. ua-cam.com/video/iGWggc7KjJE/v-deo.html
starjump makes these ships a little nicer but good job my only suggestion is make all the ships that starjump hasnt and maybe can promote each other now if you said starfarer is perfect for mining then i would agree 100% with its large hold refinery refueling
As a Kraken-owner i have to say one thing: Thanks for making the wait a little more bearable.
I am glad you enjoyed it
What loaner ships do you have for owning this thing? I'm looking to get one for myself and I'm curious
@@hourglasseyesflipping think it’s catapiller hammerhead buccaneer off the top of my head. Maybe a c2 aswell?
I'm excited but I do fear we'll be waiting longer than we'd hope 🤷. But we knew that when we bought it 😏
@@wisdomandy9361 guess Kraken is on the same priority as the endeavour :D so.. wouldnt be suprised if we are way into beta
I love the aircraftcarrier design with the top-center bridge overlooking the flightdeck.
You brought to life one of my favorite SC ships! I CANNOT wait to fly mine!
I am glad you enjoyed it
T2rx6 Me too 🤩
Well done, l liked the Hugs and Drugs pad haha
"Hugs & Drugs"...that needs to be in the game.
Thanks, that’s the brand across all my concepts 🤣 it’s good to add some fun to work

Incredible. CIG please take notice of this fantastic work.
Imagine when server meshing comes online and all of this functional..
That is what keeps us here. The Dream :)
yeah 2040 will be such a great year ! :)
Through you, I have seen so many of my ships come to life that otherwise would be nothing more than concept art. Exceptional work. Thank you
Wow, it just looks fantastic 😊👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
This is brilliant. Thanks. Looks amazing on a 4K OLED too.
Thanks, I am glad to hear that

Awesome video as always.
Thanks for the visit
imagine someone making this into a city player or org base, buildings being built along the actual ship aswell as on the ground around it
possibly you can expand and connect more via docking collars - building esentailly a station :)
It’s something the org I’m at has considered, maybe not build a base around the kraken, but ground it near where we are gonna build the base, it is a decent enough deterrent and can maintain security while the base is being made.

i think they use airlocks and elevators to give your hardware time to render in objects and spaces. so don't get your hopes up
Not all Races have that technology
Nah I want that docking and walking through an airlock experience!
Well done, Drake. Well done.
Wishing for one in my hanger one day.
good luck finding a hanger that fits this :) (i know i know, on the website)
@@plrrt LOL 😆 😉
My favorite ship
"Hugs and Drugs" got me
Beautiful!
I love the kraken! so excited to have a look at it, thank you!
Even though it’s so big. Thankfully it can land planetside which gives it o so much potential
Really love your videos man!
I appreciate that!
me before im sure i need a KRAKEN "i dunno"
after this video "so if i just eat ramen for a few months and miss a few bills ill have enough for my video game space ship"
Haha - I actually feel worried I be responsible for it 😅
@@AstroChronicles i kid i kid
wow nice job, thank you!
Glad you like it!
Best SC ship
Love it ! Could you do the BMM ? :))
Looks amaaaaziiiing the only thing that could be better is change the access of medbay of the land bay to hangars
Agree also a depresurisng room in between them would be more functional
awsome work man
Thank you! Cheers!
Echt toll gemacht, da kann sich CIG noch eine scheibe abschneiden.
you are finishing 3D models faster than CIG ;) good job
its just models - not the game level details and interaction models
@@AstroChronicles but awesome work :)
Awesome ! You make me dream :D awesome work !!!
Happy to help 🤣
Merci pour ce moment… combien d année a attendre encore ?
Everytime MEGA 😙👌
This video makes me want to spend 2k more on this game 😍
Love it. Cant wait till they are released into the PU and I can fly mine :)
it definitely needs a "rusty ol' bucket" paint job. My friend has this and a BMM, can't wait to land my unfitting Origin 400i on it haha
pretty ship tough.
you can always land on mine
I love its massive engines!
Loved it thanks be closest I will get to see mine for ages
Hopefully you will do our the privateer version
Thanks mate for your efforts
Great profile pic!
@@AstroChronicles thanks mate
I have a MIGHTY NEED.
mass effect soundtrack for the kraken
great job dude love it i cant wait tell they bring that out im melting everything i got and geting that when it comes lol

This kinda leak happened like 3 to 6ish months before the idris came out.
Fingers crossed I want to see pirate ship kraken in the near future.
One day we will be able to walk on that pads… one day…
Hopefully soon 😅
@@AstroChronicles Fingers crossed! At the end of the year almost every ship of my fleet is flightready except for the Kraken.

You right, flying in atmosphere with other ships on deck doesn’t make much sense. And yes, I assume that Karen will land very rarely
The Polaris please make the polaris xD We been waiting so long for that one too lol
Not a Drake fan, but I love the Kraken
Lined with ballista and nova tanks XD
Great job !
thank you!
Looks really good. Reminds me more of The Outer Worlds than SC.
please share the outer worlds content it reminds you of - i would like to study it more
@@AstroChronicles There isn't exactly one thing but parts of your works favor OW's style. If I can find an example, I'll post it.
So cool
If Star Citizens make a mode to that ship like defending it from incoming attack those turret will be used and it ship platform that would be great
not really build to fight... it's a carrier and uses its smaller figher ships as the main guns.
Hey, do. You do comission work? Looking to have an 890jump exterior model recolored to a nice black gold. Thanks
not really - also CIG didnt share the current 890J 3d model - sadly only the "old" one from hallow view is available

Do make a movie of the banu merchantman next please
Cant wait for this come on and take my fknnnn moneyyyyy
good fighte
LOVE
Do the Endeavor / Odyssé :D
will add to the list - thanks!
Imagine how much chaos you could cause if you crammed all the landing pads or whatever full of snub fighters.
Wow really nice video... Whats the name of the song behind
its the song from SC game named: First Light
hi. could you tell me please what soundtrack is this? thank you
It’s the official Star Citizen theme
Its part of the SC soundtrack. Its called First Light by Pedro Commacho. It first debuted here and is a huge hit among SC fans.
ua-cam.com/video/iGWggc7KjJE/v-deo.html
Love this really want one for my Org! Sell me yours lol
Where is the Star Citizen Universe is that lighting?
Are all the capitol class ships going to be flyable, as in players are able to jump into the pilot seat and fly them?
yes - thats the plan
@@AstroChronicles Ahh that's cool, it's going to be awesome seeing these things flying around in the verse
I love your work. Could you do one for the Idris? ^^
Possibly! but it a massive project - might see if i have time
@@AstroChronicles would be rly nice 😇
I would like this ship and the banu merchant ship . That is all
When and how Will i be able to get it?
You have to be quick with the sales they do during events like Fleet week and IAE
starjump makes these ships a little nicer but good job my only suggestion is make all the ships that starjump hasnt and maybe can promote each other now if you said starfarer is perfect for mining then i would agree 100% with its large hold refinery refueling
Yep! They are more advanced than me 😅
It looks grate, keep doing grate stuff!
Actually, that's Kraken Privateer, not the base version... it's more into commerce.. base version is more into support ship.
It has 4 x XS and 2 x S landing pads.
you are correct
Wait, a dragonfly bay means this star carrier is dropping on to the surface? Lack of thrusters means only low gravity right?
Thrusters rotate on kraken, also on the RSI page you can see kraken landed in various environments
good nighte
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
one day
отличное видео
thanks!
Do BMM Next
So goood
I WANT A KRAKEN :O
haha turning a kraken in to a retail park
Tram remember there is a tram
oh yes! you right - i will work in this one - thanks
GIVE IT TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WANT IT
imagine the fuel costs of that bad boy.
great video， sub
Thanks for the sub!
GIB!
Please make this happen in game, so we can at least running around inside and out of this ship.
I will be working on moving some of the ship models to UE5 for the ‘running around’ experience 🤣
@@AstroChronicles Ah good, please do so.
la kraken es una base movil
hugs and drugs huh?
Ganz cooles teiel aber für über tausend Euro ich weiß nicht Und mal ehrlich haben die ein an der waffel 😅
imagine thinking the game is still gonna get a full release when theyre solely designing ships they can charge thousands for... in an alpha.
That's not a capitalship, that's a mobile piratebase.
GIB.
I'm convinced Star Citizen players just have a Stockholm Syndrome at this point...
