I think flying from the center bridge would be pretty bad. You would not be able to see the ground at all.
The side bridge is better for fist person landings.
Just my opinon.
Nice vid will be nice to hear some q and a answers

Hmm seeing it beside the Caterpillar gives me great perspective, where the Caterpillar is my second favorite ship, aesthetically, and has what I think is the most believable interior, for how I imagine spaceships would look. Sort of like the interior of a submarine, or industrial ships, with every pipe, valve, nut, bolt and wire is exposed, easy to access and fix. Drake is always one of my favorite manufacturers for that reason. Very immersive interiors! The Caterpillar is perfect for me and any cargo I do, so I'll have to see the Ironclad in game. I imagine my brother and his friends will buy both variants, so I will have access.

This is the first time a video of yours was suggested by YouTube, on my home page. I keep my SC subscription list small, but will definitely subscribe!

Good video! Thanks! Look forward to seeing you on Captains Table again!😊

For some reason this made me want a Kraken even though I'm mostly a solitary player.

What everyone seem to be looking for is a carrier type of ship... something to be used as a home base to do stuff in.

Looking at just about every other ship out there you have limitations witch limit the ships you can fit in it. If it is not limited by width or height you have some kind of artificial limitation on the entrance which keeps you from putting that ship you actually want in there. Airlock, struts, chains, walkways... you name it... If CIG envisions you to be able to fit a Cyclon in there, you can be damned sure that you will not be able to fit anything larger than that.

Looking at these images I would say that the Cutty, which I believe most people want to be able to land in the Ironclad will be ever so slightly too big to fit inside the Ironclad easily. You will be able to fit the "normal" C8 variants, Auroras etc... but anything bigger like the F7 series or such... not so sure about that... The cutty, very unlikely even... Perhaps you may be able to wiggle your way in there with it, but It will most likely be something artifificial limitation that keeps you from doing it at all... and that is just it... Every time it is tantalizingly close to do what you actually want... but in the end you can't...

I was tempted by the Ironclad as well, but I will wait for it to release to make the final judgement.

It would be nice to have a Captains quarters in the back of the ship, that overlooks the stern.
The Ironclad would be the perfect ship for that purpose, with a large window or smaller windows, that look out over those 10 beautiful massive main thrusters. It is a time honored practice in days of old wind & sail Privateers. It is very traditional and a great opportunity for CIG.

i agree with you that the center should be the control center. the detachable one should be more an escape pod. or at least as a small shuttle, say an org has a bunch of these kitted out for different situations and the snall pod moves them around, like a shunter at a train yard

still looking forward to owning both the ironclad and kraken!

[srgxor]

Love your SC videos. Thank you! I upgraded to the Ironclad. Hyped for thos ship! 😊

[phoenixsui]

Amazing Renders. Cant wait for the bigger ships like BMM Poilaris Idris Ironclad Arastra and so on.

[ronaldshaw]

Feels like a 18 wheeler or a river barge. The operational deck is very similar. Drop and hook cargo operations. Decouple the empty cargo holder hookup to the loaded trailer and fly off. I can think of a number of smuggling methods or black market handoff scenarios. Hell even a legitimate operation would benefit from these versatile ships

[xinleitang-oh]

yeah, we definitely need more planet side cargo ship around 1000 to 2000 SCU range. especially with base building.

[circuitguy]

Very cool comparison, totally agree. Just curious, where are there rumors about the Kraken being in SQ42? Any links or quotes you can give, or is it just community guessing?

[parkerxgps]

Ironclad really does make me wonder how Kraken will load efficiently.

Seems we're destined for a fleet of ships in this range. Not even mad.

[ericwollaston]

Great job on this, Redjay. In the comparison of the Ironclad and Liberator, it looks like the roof section of the Ironclad is the size of one Liberator XS landing pad. Your thoughts?

[Garflog]

The comparison makes the caterpillar look the same length if not a tad longer however the Ironclad is about 27, almost 28 feet longer. Really awesome video though.

[TANIL-X]

I bought the ironclad is that possible to have these renders high resolution for wallpaper?

[Yumemaru.]

I'm very excited for the lib. Those two bigger pads should be able to fit two scorpius right?

[Furstaide]

Thx. More tools can hurt if the information is incorrect or misleading

[sicitydonmo]

i bought the ironclad yesterday. just mainly because i'm in a more militaristic clan/organization to transport tanks and being able to shoot back at the opponents. But until the ironclad is flight ready i play the A2 Hercules
