Cool, if you do will you post a video to TH-cam please? Id love to see it. There's not a lot of Star citizen models, that would make your video particularly unique.
Not going to fool myself into thinking this'll be out anytime within the next few years but videos like this help my "need" for more Kraken content. THANK YOU! Wonderful video! Great look and POV on it.
This is the first video I've seen from your channel. I'm glad YT recommended it. This was a VERY well done video with tons of info, including stuff I've never seen/heard before.
Great content and very informative. I think CIG also needs to look at organisation ownership and ship user permissions. To have an Org. With 15 members on board and only able to deploy in their own ships, it is so limiting. Even on a reclaimer, you need ship ownership to board or use. For any ship, a minimum crew of over one, or any organisation with multiple known members, giving use permissions to organisation ships is a must for the future.
Very well done! I look forward to the next one. If you're starting with ships that are not currently available, I would like to see one done on the Polaris and Perseus.
Agreed ZW, I would actually prefer ships not currently flyable in this series. There are lots of ship reviews out there on flyable ships, but I love the way SJ has correlated all the info, graphics and lore into this one great video.
@@STARJUMP_GRIM Does the privateer version still have the capability of repairing, rearming, and refueling ships? Or are those assets lost on the privateer versus the standard version? Your graphic in the video shows the fuel tanks disappearing in the privateer version which is why I'm asking. I've not been able to verify this information anywhere and I figured you would know. Thanks!
I think I remember hearing during a Live that the larger capitol class ships such as the Kraken are meant to be persistent no matter the state of the owner. So I think it is possible that they won't start development until there is solid footing underneath full persistence.
So they did say that the Bengal would be persistent. However in the Kraken Q&A it was stated that the ship will despawn if the owner logs out. If other players on still on the Kraken when the owner logs out, then the ship will persist. However as soon as no one is on the Kraken anymore then it will in fact despawn.
awesome video! The Kraken was the first ship I fell in love with when I began playing SC about 4 years ago but at the time I didn't know it wasn't yet in the game and i've been waiting for it ever since lol cant wait for that day to come
GREAT WORK! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Makes me happy to have a Kraken and actually makes me think about getting a Privateer as well even though I have a BMM. I can really see there being benefits to owning both after this. You really got me thinking about the key differences and how each has their own strengths and benefits. Really looking forward to the Endeavor episode next week. I have a Master Set and can't wait for you to sell me on it all over again! Would really like to see your take on the Banu Merchantman and the Polaris as well. Thank you so much for all you do for the community!
Hope you're in an org...I see a lot of guys like you have no friends playing the game and no org yet they think they can solo a fleet...not gonna happen buddy
@@tevarinvagabond1192 Just so happens I am. Several actually. A lot of "guys like me" are. A lot of "guys like me" will be. A lot of "guys like me" actually start their own ORGs and buy their fleets specifically to share and enjoy this game with other people. This is definitely a game to enjoy with other people. My new in game friends and I built a Community just playing the game with others. It is not as hard as you would think. I only have 2 Rules in our Community. 1. Help who you can and share what you know. 2. Don't be a Dikk. Sure there are plenty of people out there who own a Legatus Pack and dream that they will Solo a Javelin. I say more power to them. It is after all, THEIR money that bought the Legatus Pack and it is their right to try and play the game any way they want. Guess what? They will get on that Javelin and fly off into the verse with a few NPCs and probably enjoy their time in their Javelin. It may not be very efficient or effective but I do suspect that it IS going to be possible for them to do that. I don't own a Javelin but I haven't excluded the idea of working towards one in game either because at this point in time NO ONE really knows what will be possible when this game goes live. I am sure you would have to agree with that, right buddy? o7
Awesome! Great ambient background music, appropriate on screen media that actually applies to the topic at hand, and well.. Kraken. I love this, keep it up! I'm hoping for Perseus next.
Fantastic! I look for more episodes of Shipyard. The attention to detail and the visuals certainly make it stand out and are a good reminder why I have this beast in my roster. As always amazing work from the StarJump crew and well worth the wait.
This is a good idea for a series and the one ship I REALLY want you to cover on this is the Liberator. That thing is both an open book and a mystery, because I know what it does but I can't divine what people will end up doing with it, if it'll be niche or something literally everyone has
Loved this episode. I have been on the fence about the Kraken Privateer v. Kraken and this gave some really great perspective. Thank you Starjump team!
I can really see a Kraken Ore Refinery variant in the future. Sure, it can bring along a MISC Expanse, but I picture a couple of Moles + 4x escort fighters.
A good amount of discussion has been made about the ponderous atmospheric and landing problems of big ships like the Starfarer and Reclaimer, but I think the solution to these things is relatively simple: They're like the weapons on a Prospector. In essence, they're a last resort for when absolutely every other option is off the table, and even then using them is ill-advised. In other words, folks talk about the problems that come about because a Kraken CAN land on a planetary or lunar surface, but the real question is whether they SHOULD. And, of course, the answer is a resounding NO, 99.99 percent of the time. The only situation I can see where landing a Kraken is a good idea would be when it needs to power down in order to hide, and needs to do so relatively long-term. Even then, however, there's so much space out there to get lost in - is it really worth the danger and expense of landing, when you could just as easily Quantum out to an empty spot in space that may actually end up seeing LESS traffic while being MORE accessible to friendly forces in the case where repair, replenishment, or the like are needed by the Kraken?
Thank you for this Grim! I look forward to some more in the future, hopefully a breakdown of some of the smaller ships for the new folks too. I love this idea. Great addition to the channel! Especially the lore bits at the start.
Imagine 2 and a half football stadiums coming in from atmo and landing in front of you, thats the size of this monster, and it can still land on a planet, thats crazy!!! This game is already mind blowing just wait til we get our Capital ships
That was excellent! You produced a well-thought-out and visually appealing vid that highlighted all that is great and beautiful about the Kraken. Watching this definitely reaffirmed my purchase of the Kraken over the Idris. I will definitely let anyone thinking about purchasing the Kraken to watch your vid! I look forward to more!
Picked an easy ship for the new vid series I see! J/K, this came out GREAT, very smooth all the way view and the audio and visual flow was great. o7! Polaris next!
Ive a Nautilus/Perseus/Polaris, and do indeed plan on getting the Crucible and Liberator, yet draw the line there, a Kraken would send my head spinning.
Great video, well presented, with an in depth exploration of the Kraken and it's functions, no fluff. Will have to start saving up for one, Keep it up! :)
I got the privateer and can't wait to get this baby in game! I can already picture salvage operations to and from and storing the goods inside, stocking it for merchant sales and watching the guns obliterate any opposition 😊😁
Loving the format of your videos. One thing I would love to see with the Kraken is now that we have the Cutter I would like to see the Dragonfly Bays replaced with Cutters. The Cutters would function like FedEx vans for the Kraken.
I see Kraken I must click… There’s still lots of things I’d like to see them improve about the layout and design like extending the large deck by a meagre 2 meters to give it better synergy with the caterpillar.
For combat, the Polaris looks to be the king. But for "good enough combat", and a "jack of all trades" capital ship, the Kraken is the king. Or so it seems so far. I personally own a Polaris but honestly I'd like to convert into the Kraken eventually because of how much more realistic it's game loops are. I'm going to be patient though since the Polaris is "supposed" to be coming out in 12 months and we realistically don't know how many years the Kraken is going to take.
Someone made a really good case for why the Kraken should come out with Pyro... but at this point there's just no way. I think it's 2 years out. They have to finish gold-standarding the current ships while producing enough new ones to keep the pledge money rolling in... at least until they release S42. Here's hoping.
I'm of the opinion that the Kraken may need to be enlarged a little before it's released. From what can be found on it so far, the two larger landing pads are supposed to be for size 3 ships (such as the Cutlass). However some ships such as the Spirit's or Freelancer MAX are also size 3 ships and if you overlay them, they are a good deal larger than those landing pads. The "if it fits it sits" rule can come into play there but that's more of an unintended side effect than it is by design. An added bonus to making it just slightly bigger could mean the internal hangars could possibly fit size 3 ships as well (currently only size 2 ships). TLDR: If the design calls for proper landing pads to accommodate all size 3 ships then the flight deck may need to be a little larger.
Outstanding video!! Keep up the good work. I love the idea of deck grav plating control / deck controller operator mode. I hope CIG is taking notes. LOL
OMG how can this channel not have millions of views its beyond me... Insta sub, your work is EXCELLENT! Even if Im a refundian myself, and I believe the game right now to be a scam, I do appreciate this work that you guys are doing, regardless to what the game really is or isn't (I mean I could be wrong), one thing is for curtain Your videos are TOP quality, keep them up!
Thats an idea, close ups on the components and weapons would be FANTASTIC not to mention that could be an entire new series that could take years to complete (BTW I would watch every episode;).
Lots of great info in this! Finally snagged a Kraken for credits yesterday (or rather, 2am this morning during wave #2). So now I have an Idris-P with K kit and soon also this Kraken in buyback, just waiting for me to decide which is going to be my forever-cap-ship. It will be very interesting to see which one, if either, of these behemoths are possible to run with a skeleton crew. Shame the Idris has an artificially restricted cargo space - shoving that main hangar bay full of cargo should have netted at least 2500-3000 SCU of cargo given how much bigger than a Herc C2 it is.
Nice. Since large tractor beams are on the horizon I'd be super interested in seeing what the Orion is looking like these days. I know they scaled it up going into this phase but its hard to find good information on this much closer to release ship.
When I first found out about Star Citizen I did not have any end goal ship as at the time only the Javelin was the only known capital ship military wise. Then a number of years later I saw the trailer for the Kraken and fell in love with the vessel and the soundtrack for it, still don't know what the kickass music they used is called sadly. Up until today when I watched the episode here I had little knowledge about it other than the carrier capabilities of which I thank you for informing me about all that the ship can potentially do as I know about six to ten folks who would be interested in playing Star Citizen but want to play around as a group and hang out, which this ship I think solves as I should be able to get it at some point and thus aid my friends into getting started in Star Citizen. As for a next ship to look at, I cannot think of much except for maybe the Endeavor as a the only hospital ship (to my knowledge) or the Orion the capital mining ship. I know both of those ship suggestions are capital but as compared to most other ships I do not recall much about either of them and I would love to see what CIG has stated for both; however, if there is not enough for a video I also understand the information to put together a vid about either of them.
The two downsides I see in the Kraken would be it's price and the fact that a lot of it's viability depends on the viability & availability of smaller ships it transports/supports. I suppose it could shine as a escort carrier, where it transports Fighters and Eclipses (?), as it could also make use of it's large storage capacity when escorting transports. Another possible upside is, that it's current dimensions would allow it to (barely) fit in the largest Hangar.
One important and interesting thing to know would be the state of AI-crew. Because, let's face it, no matter how large or small your Org is, even with hundreds of players, you are extremely unlikely to be able to operate a Kraken with only players. It get's worse with the Privateer, which would not just need merchants to be active on the ship, but also a security team. Because you'll need a security team especially if you want to deal in high-value wares or black market wares. Anyhow, as partially proud owner of not one Kraken, I am very certain that I would have to fill the crew slots with at least 80% AI-crew. Because, even if I find people for each and every role on that ship, and it's not unlikely to find these people, it is unlikely to find enough people for each role to effectively play without having to schedule that time to play. And no, I'm not committed to a single Org yet, but a friend and I consider building up our own Org, if anyone is interested, you don't need to bring anything with you except the will to enjoy the game. - Another important thing which is specifically about the Dragonfly-bay. As it is now, hover-bikes cannot take off from the ground. When the Kraken was designed and announced, Hover-Bikes were able to switch between hover and flying mode. So, before the Kraken can arrive effectively, Hover-Bikes would be needed to be able to switch between these two again. As a plus side, the ability to switch between a hover and flying mode would also benefit ships like the Esperia Prowler, which has "hover-engines" at its bottom side, making it possible to switch it being a air- spacebourne troop transport into a semi-tank / ground-troop transport vehicle
The kraken is one of the ships that are more distinctinve in star citizen. I can't remember if it was IAE or invictus of years ago when it was shown at loreveille, would be neat to see it again ingame like the polaris this year :)
I had a conversation with my brother, "I wish Starjump was in charge of ships creation at CIG," we would have the highest caliber ships and they would DEFENTINATLY be finished so much quicker!
You need a descent org/corp to run this monster. 15 crew plus people with other ships constantly stationed in it, at least a couple of combat capable ships and the complementary commercial/industrial ships to pay for operations. If engaged in combat in any scenario bigger then small skirmishes, then you need at least a small battlegroup formation with one or two medium companion ships plus specific crew for fighters. In a war theater it should operate like IRL in a big battlegroup with big and small companions, brawlers, snipers and fighters 24/7
Great video! I was super stoked to have finally gotten a kraken privateer during IAE because of how expensive it is! And i thought to myself “i wonder how many they actually sell a year.” And i looked into it and it seems the kraken isnt as rare as i had hoped. Sever streamers have close to 10 for “giveaways” and so on and it kinda just killed me a little inside. Still super happy i got one but its definitely not the one in a million ship i had hoped it would be. But i digress CIG has to earn a living somehow!

The Kraken is like having your own sky fortress base, can't wait for Star Citizen to mature and have more playable capital ships.
3.18 comes out this week
@@Dauske okay how is that relevant
Can wait for star citizen to be considered a "game" and be "playable".

This is really good! Loving the layout and visuals and scale comparisons. Thank you for making the video, looking forward to the next one.
Great first episode! Look forward to more. Kraken is a beast.
Wow! Absolutely Epic! I look forward to seeing my pocket Carrier, The Liberator done up in fine fashion like this. Thx for a great Kraken review!
I think I remember hearing during a Live that the larger capitol class ships such as the Kraken are meant to be persistent no matter the state of the owner. So I think it is possible that they won't start development until there is solid footing underneath full persistence.

Glad you're back, Grim! Looking forward to more stuff from Starjump, always enjoyed your deep-dive information eps :D
Loved this episode. I have been on the fence about the Kraken Privateer v. Kraken and this gave some really great perspective. Thank you Starjump team!
I can really see a Kraken Ore Refinery variant in the future. Sure, it can bring along a MISC Expanse, but I picture a couple of Moles + 4x escort fighters.

Especially when you consider the game is chuck full of bombers right now.
What an incredible video! Cannot wait for more! Would love to see one on the RSI Perseus:)
Drake is awesome! I love the look of the Kraken. Biggest Drake ship suits me is the Corsair though. I love that thing.
Thank you for this Grim! I look forward to some more in the future, hopefully a breakdown of some of the smaller ships for the new folks too. I love this idea. Great addition to the channel! Especially the lore bits at the start.
Great job all! Appreciate the work and attention to detail that went into making this. I'm already excited for the next one.
Cant wait for the rest of the series. Great editing.
It’s very nice to have a in depth view into the kraken and honestly I would love to see you do a video on the MISC endeavor.
Thank you for making this, this was a stand out to see! Cannot wait for the Orion episode...
Alot of work and research went into these videos, thank you very much!
Considering it might not be that long until its Release, i would love to see the Hull-C as it will most likely be the backbone of most Transport Orgs

Looks like a nice end gane AI driven ship. After 10years of grinding, this will be a nice reward.
Great intro to the series. I learned a lot about this ship!
Yeah. Perfect for rebel army
When people bump into a Kraken: "Oh waaaw"
Kraken: "You dead body"
Nicely done. Glad to see this series making its debut on the channel, and looking forward to seeing other ships in the Starjump Shipyard.
Very much enjoyed this showcase. Looking forward to the next... Great work!

Awesome video coverage of the Kraken, would love more of Starjump Shipyard!
This is my absolute favorite ship,and you have only solidified it haha.
For Me it's the Polaris in first place but the Kraken has overtaken the BMM for a close second to the Polaris!
Really well done video. You earned my sub :) Cant wait to see what ship you cover next!
This was a great video.. can't wait for other ship overviews!
This is amazing and lights my fires for when this gameplay finally hits the verse…keep ‘em coming!
This is such a great breakdown of the Kraken. I am very excited to see more. Perseus, Liberator, Crucible, and Nautilus are top of my short list
Ive a Nautilus/Perseus/Polaris, and do indeed plan on getting the Crucible and Liberator, yet draw the line there, a Kraken would send my head spinning.

Looking forward for the next episode!
Great video StarJump team! Nicely done Grim! Looking forward to the next ship 🛳️!
I can't wait to get our first capital ship into the game.
It will be an awe inspiring new experience for everyone, including the veterans.
Great video, well presented, with an in depth exploration of the Kraken and it's functions, no fluff. Will have to start saving up for one, Keep it up! :)

Thank you for the history and indepth look of this must have for ORGs.
Love this! Great job Starjump!

Nice. Since large tractor beams are on the horizon I'd be super interested in seeing what the Orion is looking like these days. I know they scaled it up going into this phase but its hard to find good information on this much closer to release ship.
When I first found out about Star Citizen I did not have any end goal ship as at the time only the Javelin was the only known capital ship military wise. Then a number of years later I saw the trailer for the Kraken and fell in love with the vessel and the soundtrack for it, still don't know what the kickass music they used is called sadly. Up until today when I watched the episode here I had little knowledge about it other than the carrier capabilities of which I thank you for informing me about all that the ship can potentially do as I know about six to ten folks who would be interested in playing Star Citizen but want to play around as a group and hang out, which this ship I think solves as I should be able to get it at some point and thus aid my friends into getting started in Star Citizen. As for a next ship to look at, I cannot think of much except for maybe the Endeavor as a the only hospital ship (to my knowledge) or the Orion the capital mining ship. I know both of those ship suggestions are capital but as compared to most other ships I do not recall much about either of them and I would love to see what CIG has stated for both; however, if there is not enough for a video I also understand the information to put together a vid about either of them.
Good news is that the next episode will feature the Endeavor!
@@STARJUMP_GRIM Oh, cool I will look forward for it.
Instant SUBSCRIBE !!! Very well done. Looking forward to your next video .
Dragonflys, with no VTOL ability, must have a grand time entering the Dragonfly hangar when the ship is landed.
The two downsides I see in the Kraken would be it's price and the fact that a lot of it's viability depends on the viability & availability of smaller ships it transports/supports.
I suppose it could shine as a escort carrier, where it transports Fighters and Eclipses (?), as it could also make use of it's large storage capacity when escorting transports.
Another possible upside is, that it's current dimensions would allow it to (barely) fit in the largest Hangar.
This video makes me like the Kraken more than I thought I would. Now if one of the other manufacturers could make a similar style ship....
!!! WARNING !!! --- Copium reaching critical levels --- !!! WARNING !!!
But seriously now, great video! 💯
✨Star Jump Station, well done Grim👋🏽
This explains everything we know so well. Great job.
Oh...that air car will probably claim more lives than the ships main weapons
One important and interesting thing to know would be the state of AI-crew. Because, let's face it, no matter how large or small your Org is, even with hundreds of players, you are extremely unlikely to be able to operate a Kraken with only players.
It get's worse with the Privateer, which would not just need merchants to be active on the ship, but also a security team. Because you'll need a security team especially if you want to deal in high-value wares or black market wares.
Anyhow, as partially proud owner of not one Kraken, I am very certain that I would have to fill the crew slots with at least 80% AI-crew. Because, even if I find people for each and every role on that ship, and it's not unlikely to find these people, it is unlikely to find enough people for each role to effectively play without having to schedule that time to play.
And no, I'm not committed to a single Org yet, but a friend and I consider building up our own Org, if anyone is interested, you don't need to bring anything with you except the will to enjoy the game.

Another important thing which is specifically about the Dragonfly-bay. As it is now, hover-bikes cannot take off from the ground. When the Kraken was designed and announced, Hover-Bikes were able to switch between hover and flying mode. So, before the Kraken can arrive effectively, Hover-Bikes would be needed to be able to switch between these two again. As a plus side, the ability to switch between a hover and flying mode would also benefit ships like the Esperia Prowler, which has "hover-engines" at its bottom side, making it possible to switch it being a air- spacebourne troop transport into a semi-tank / ground-troop transport vehicle
I would love to see the Banu Merchantman. Great video!
Fantastic video for Kraken enthusiasts such as myself. Subscribing to see what else you cook up
Fantastic video. Looking forward to the next.
Stellar job on this video. Love it!
The kraken is one of the ships that are more distinctinve in star citizen. I can't remember if it was IAE or invictus of years ago when it was shown at loreveille, would be neat to see it again ingame like the polaris this year :)
Loved the video! Please do Idris or Javelin next! 😊
Awesome job!
Since you brought up the Idris, I feel like it would be a natural choice for episode 2!
Great video. Really enjoyed the deepdive!
Awesome video. Can't wait for more.
Awesome work! It puzzles me if a content creator is doing better work then CIG itself.
I had a conversation with my brother, "I wish Starjump was in charge of ships creation at CIG," we would have the highest caliber ships and they would DEFENTINATLY be finished so much quicker!
You need a descent org/corp to run this monster. 15 crew plus people with other ships constantly stationed in it, at least a couple of combat capable ships and the complementary commercial/industrial ships to pay for operations. If engaged in combat in any scenario bigger then small skirmishes, then you need at least a small battlegroup formation with one or two medium companion ships plus specific crew for fighters.
In a war theater it should operate like IRL in a big battlegroup with big and small companions, brawlers, snipers and fighters 24/7
Super cool video!
Great video! I was super stoked to have finally gotten a kraken privateer during IAE because of how expensive it is! And i thought to myself “i wonder how many they actually sell a year.” And i looked into it and it seems the kraken isnt as rare as i had hoped. Sever streamers have close to 10 for “giveaways” and so on and it kinda just killed me a little inside. Still super happy i got one but its definitely not the one in a million ship i had hoped it would be. But i digress CIG has to earn a living somehow!
Good video. Well done.
