   welcome to day 5 of our 2948 anniversary special I am sandy Gardner and I'm Lucas trolleys today our biggest freefly event today thunders on throughout the event we'll be featuring a different star citizenship manufacturer every day and making all their flyable ships available to test fly for free yes very cool so anyone with an RSI account can get into the game during the anniversary special and try out all the flammable ships there are 80 of them and over all so that's a huge amount but today we'll be focusing on the ships of Trek interplanetary yes we will and to discuss the most controversial ship maker in the verse here are John crew Josh Coons Ellen bachelor and Jared Huckaby so drink interplanetary sorry fifth day of our anniversary promotion

2. 00:01:05

   drink interplanetary has what like 12 ships in the Drake lineup there's eight that are flyable now in our free fly promotion when I say Drake interplanetary to each one of you what's the first word that comes to mind versatility versatility cheapness cheapness and as a cost or quality or all of those things they are not particularly strongly built they're built to cut budgets these guys make tree did you agree with that yeah there's something if I could count how many how many screws and nuts and bolts and I have some same girders are in there wires in case it's not that it's cheaper weak it's just they don't care about you bumping your head on that stuff so they don't cover it up with you know airbags nice plastic panels they

3. 00:01:54

   pass the savings on to you with manufacturing cost cuts it's cheaper than that regard yes that one's got something to send this out oh and you know you figured out you did you up develop the entire style guide for Drake ships when you did the Drake catalyst right well not the entire style guy obviously was working with we just happen to be the first ones to build a ship with a Drake ship with a substantial interior that established the style guide going forward and we decided to use shape language that just adjusted that you were in a dangerous environment so the idea was to make it feel like you're in an active construction zone right does it feel like as if I'm walking down this hallway I need to feel as though part of the wall is about to collapse on me if you go to one of the cargo modules in the caterpillar you'll notice that we've exposed all the mechanisms for the door so anyone can stick their arm in there

4. 00:02:42

   and just lose it if they wanted to function over form girders that's a goal like that one rafters like every trellis beam is visible and that's not just capital that's aldrig ships yeah Fung show reform I think you nailed it right that's one of the reasons I think I relate to drink so much but I think it goes a little bit further than that I really do think it's like no this is just a hazardous environment we have a no robust there not understand there's no safe very quickly the idea is I'm gonna get into the ship at my own risk essentially feel uncomfortable when like when I go in a drake ship I feel like I want to spend the minimum amount of time right here because it's gonna I feel like Grayson it's gonna kill you did I want to spend all my time measuring ship I go to dre ship and III that's what I relate to it's it's this it's this a functional reform thing I instantly feel

5. 00:03:32

   at home in a drink ship I just like safety all right not every ship is gonna be for every player no who's the caterpillar caterpillars for the the cargo haulers and the traders so it's got a great cargo capacity yeah wonderful car yeah and it's those easy access clamshell doors means you can get stuff in and out I've seen some enterprising use of weaponry inside those gates right it's got the side doors that you can open up busy and you'd fire out like five six cyclone TRS in there just open the doors and store the cowlings come out like that it's all like a pirate ship these gyres it's almost like a broadside like at school pirate ship outside now we talked a bit

6. 00:04:20

   about piracy before we got started here and the trick caterpillar is one of the limited ships that are available during the anniversary promotion going on right now but there's a second caterpillar that's available to you you don't see it if you just go to the website you actually have to participate in pirate storm which is a which is what tell us what Paris ones so Paris was one of our arena commander game modes no it's essentially you versus waves of AI so we have vandal swarm which you versus waves if I find all pirates warm is the the pirate version I see you you're against a variety of just pirate may I should you just have to clear the waves each wave gets progressively harder there's a couple of my boss waves thrown in there hmm you don't do this alone you can do it you can do it by yourself you can do it with a few friends and you know how many waves I think it's 15

7. 00:05:09

   I've never beat it I don't actually know 15 waves so depending on how like you count the waves since I do not be paired Shane pirate swarm is my secret it's your initiative pirate shaking I had just exposed myself that I've never actually been pirates 1 but if you do be parts from you you get badged with a special badge that will enable you to check out the pirate version of a caterpillar and I have to do have to say for a company that's not supposedly selling to pirates the fact that there is a pirate version of the caterpillar seems a bit suspect to me that's an aftermarket thing it's an aftermarket oh yeah our customers knows a while and I'm sure what you do with them is to business from the caterpillar we went to a revamp last year of the Cutlass the Cutlass is arguably the most popular

8. 00:05:56

   drink ship that's in the lineup I talked to me about working on the cover what is the cups that's this sort of I guess the official term is this militia ship so it's bit of a against multi-role always got some cargo space it's got a lot of guns so can do combat from a gameplay perspective who's the Cutlass for L we mentioned like versatile and versatile it's everybody it's something for everyone really there it's it's like the Connie has that multi Kerouac's page you can do a slightly smaller scale version of that with the cover so you've got those two seats with the two screens able to do all the chip functionality we've got a turret to use you've got a cargo bay area so you can all cargo some small vehicles can get up that ramp it's got those sides reading doors for

9. 00:06:47

   ease of access in and out the troopers in the back just literally come in six jump seat to the back of it black alright and of course we also have a variance of the Cutlass coming am i in later they're in the red saloon the right and sorry the black which is you know so loved and beholden for pirates we have the Cutlass blue which have a police cruiser yes like the diminisher please straight playing both sides of the equation I think it's very sitting very visible on both sides now while the caterpillar and the Cutlass can be operated solo the other inter spectrum we've got single-seat ships like the Buccaneer and the dragonfly talk to me about the bucket fuckin'-a is this this great little light fighter really agile just huge engines to make it nice and

10. 00:07:35

    fast like a lot of great things it's very well armed the trade-off being it's a bit made of paper like we talked about actual paper night that I actually like as close to paper as metal can get if that thing falls apart where there's stiff breeze but if it gets his guns on target and the guns themselves like there's a variety of loadout so it has that spinal mount which you can take size four gun on there or twin s2s yeah I used you can all go all one huge gun or just smattering of smaller guns everywhere really packs a punch I don't want to say that tagline punches above its weight class and then the dragonfly introduction of an entirely new type of

11. 00:08:23

    vehicle to start this and the space motorcycle what do you think about the drag all right what were your thoughts when we first when we build a space motorcycle what were your thoughts I want to build that that was though that was my first thought that sounds I think a lot of us felt that way sadly I don't get the opportunity to but it was really cool to see that ship come together because I think some of the finish of the exterior of that ship and is going to start influencing ships moving forward so I believe the vulture yes looks like it's taking a lot of cues the dragonfly so it's really helping to that1 Shipra is really helping to sort of really solidify the drake style on the exterior ships and the most recent addition to drake's pantheon of space ships the drake kraken now the kraken was a ship that we actually allowed the

12. 00:09:13

    community to vote on last year in our you pick the next string ship and it lost its losses ahead for a long time mm-hmm in the end we came up with with the vulture yep the kraken lost why did we make the correction so it was a really interesting idea we don't have any big carrier ships outside the address really and we wanted that variety of things and Drake the Masters of doing doing something the same as someone else but on a completely different level one of my favorite things that I want to do with it is essentially like boarding parties and landing parties so in days of old pirate ships would pull up into a harbor and send all their stuff ours this loops

13. 00:10:01

    yeah you can do that you because this thing can land so just lands planet so somewhere launch we ships launch or the dragon flies out of it and just go do some raiding yeah or that even terrible more terrifying visual like if you're a plant site and a Kraken is coming down and then you see the ships swarm out from home yeah because I actually when I saw the commercial as soon as I saw all the ships sort of take off of it and start attacking it instantly reminded me of initially what made me super excited about this game where it's I'm gonna come in with my entire clan and we're all just gonna deploy from this one spot and attack the mission whenever that mission is so for me it probably would be to do exactly what they did in a

14. 00:10:49

    commercial it's just fly with all my friends and then go on missions as we do it well I think that pretty much wraps up day 5 Drake in a planetary thank you so much for being here thank you so much for sharing the stories of a Drake and our star kitten and any opportunity to troll me curiously I will always jump back so you let you get back to work everybody things much awesome thank you thanks to Jack Sparrow and crew now get in the game and check out those Drake ships remember each manufacturer ships will only be available for 24 hours yes remember you can still try out the brand-new advil arrow throughout the week and remember to head to the iae West going on in Louisville right now to check out all the ships that are on display in the expo yes and after checking out the full complement of
