Repair, especially with Beam Citizen, has always seemed like it's 3D printing, which obviously is capable of fabricating. Since they specifically called it a fabrication point in the original documents it seemed safe from the beginning to call the Assault a ship capable of crafting.

[chabberwocky]

Another great capsule! Making me tempted to apply this upgrade!

Just FYI, a lot of the height measurements on ships are off, because they include the landing gear and some extra buffer. Some of them also have extra buffer on the sides and front/back as well. Hard to tell exactly how big the ships are, since the buffers seem random. Things like a Pisces has a huge buffer, and doesn't seem right at all in height. The listed measurements aren't based on actually measuring anything, but on metadata in the game files.

Squeeze a Prospector in the Assault and call it Minecraft.

Q&A: "It can repair. We will discuss repair and crafting in the near future."
"That confirms the Ironclad can craft!"
No it does not.

[ShadowGirl-]

Polaris is supposed to be able to do full repairs for a fighter as well, so surely it can craft parts too.

[votpavel]

does that mean any repair ressuply hangar can craft? craft what?

[vasilizaitsez]

Yes, capsules are a capital idea, please do more. Good catch on the Cat CMD Module tractor. Chris Wayne Schmitt CIG responded "I've chatted with some ship team members to get your question answered. The command module is currently designed to undock from the ship and then dock again after its flight."

[jet_flyer]

I feel like they wouldn't bother mentioning that they're compatible with the Cat's command module if you can't re-attach it. Good point about the Cat's having a tractor beam though

[whoisthatthen]

I think you are jumping to a big conclusion with the Ironclad having crafting. The devs may just be meaning the system they are building for repairs is the same system for crafting so you’ll get info on what repairs and how they work in the Ironclad once the repair and crafting system is worked out.
Or not.
CIG have a habit of saying things in unclear ways.

[boraxxs]

Its interesting to see in the Hercules comparison questions/answer, that CIG does not address atmospheric flight. While the Ironclad seems to be indeed the upgrade, it at least seems to be only an upgrade in space environments, not in atmospheric/planet environments

[seraph]

Let me say the quiet part out loud. They characterize the faterpillar as an upgrade straight up to the associated hercs… to drive sales but what they are careful to not remind us is that flight surfaces are coming. The hercs will almost certainly fly MUCH better than ironclads in atmosphere.

[TheEVEInspiration]

No tractor beams on the Assault due to "power issues" makes zero sense, its a BS argument.
Because those beams would not get used at the same time as the weapons anyway.
And if in a rare case they are, then energy management should be a thing, less shield recharge or less engine power for example.

[SoulBaduy]

Secure cargo the same as shielded or just marketing term additionally brig on reg but not sure if its on assult or is it just jump seats hard to make an informed decision

[iantsears]

Vulture. I HAVE to carry my Vulture through he Pyro Gate and back.
