Whats more fun? Reclaimer or Caterpillar? Thoughts?

Reclaimer from all information , which isn't a lot. The cat is a hauler, brawler ship mauler but the Reclaimer will be part of an entire profession "salvager" and is rated best in class by CIG. They are two different animals really for very different purposes. AstroJak

that's what i'm saying...its fixed for sure cause i just picked one up....nice!

noice new ship...i love it!!!!

In fact if you have a non-LTI version, i'd melt it and pick up this new base model with the LTI and wait on purchasing the mods till AC 2.0 is out. you cant do anything with them except walk around them right now. You could even pick up two for the cost difference plus $50.
