Bengal Carrier

I have to say that you dont really get the scale of the ship until you see that ittybitty fighter next to it, or when you see the massive multiple flight decks. it seems to me way bigger then what we saw in the initial demo, though that could just be me.

The triangle windows appear to be on the upper hanger deck level-which we did not get to see.  That said, I'm not sure if launch tubes are a thing or not in the SC Verse.  SQ42 Spoiler>>

Spoiler

If you go and watch some of Teller's leaked asset videos from last year, some of the other carrier ships appear to have something resembling tubes though.

Anyway, regardless, I think the lowest level and middle level contain spaces for ship maintenance and storage.  I'm curious about how ships are transferred to the upper deck though-the lift has to be quite large.  There is a vanguard hiding just underneath the bridge and four alert fighters sitting on the outer deck.

Edit: Those sneaky bastards.  They didn't actually show us anything we haven't already seen.  This wallpaper that CIG posted from JP 01-02 is the same section of hanger that was shown during ATV 100.2. You can see the launch tube with the arched bulkheads and the large tali-sized elevator.  The room has been heavily altered and has grown in all dimensions.

look u guise, we need one, just cuz

I wonder how much firepower that ventral cannon packs. I can only imagine a single direct hit would easily cripple or destroy an Idris.
Which means we simply should have one, even if the cost is enormous. We're a big organization, and just the PR a Bengal nets us will be worth all the trouble, not to mention the incredible firepower and utility it offers.

If anyone wants to form search parties to find one, I volunteer!

We all want.  If you find want, let military know @Doopsums or fleet command. They will decide what best to do.  They will know all the pieces. And if anything Imperium has ideas on how do things.

Sorry to step in here @Cincinnatus, but on the off-chance someone in Imperium actually does find a Bengal-class Carrier, I wanted to set the record straight.  @Doopsums is indeed one of our Military officers, and will undoubtedly have a critical role in helping us capture and/or operate a carrier... but the official answer (should anyone find one) is to either contact the duty Ops Officer/Specialist (once the PU goes live, we hope to have someone available 24/7), so that Ops can begin to coordinate all of the elements needed for recovery OR alternately, if one of them is available & online, you can contact one of the members of Fleet Command directly (who will probably task Ops with coordinating the recovery... but shhh!  It might be a lot more secret this way).  While the Military branch (and thus officers like @Doopsums) will have a key role (like I said earlier) to actually accomplish the capture and operation of a Bengal will be a job that will require support from every single Division within Imperium (Military to protect & clear out enemies, Exploration to scout enemies & act as sentries until the ship is operational, and T&I to help repair and outfit the ship with supplies....  No one branch (or unit, or player) can do it alone.... the greatest strength that Imperium has is it's organization & teamwork.

But if all goes well, I hope to see you on the Flight deck of Imperium's very own Bengal-class carrier someday!

Just one question. IF someone finds it, who gets to be her captain?

Not sure about Captain, but I will state unequivocally that @Core is not to be allowed anywhere near the helm controls...  Unless you REALLY want to park the Bengal (for the one and only time) on a planetary surface.

It will be someone who is hopefully capable of the role and has earned it.

Me.  Obviously.  @Trophias knows exactly what I'll be doing with it.

Edit: I'm a professional.

Edit2: Doops and Core after they fly the first Imperium Bengal.  They should've hired a professional (me).

Port Olisar best known length 3950m

Cry Astro is closer to a Bengal in size at 1400m

Food for thought: The entire interior of Pad A's inside space measures up kinda close to the bridge of the ship.

5:23 cig_sherman: Bengal's will be a crazy thing once we get them in game.

5:24 cig_sherman: Still no idea if any of the derelicts will ever have the main gun array intact since that thing is insanely potent.

5:24 cig_sherman: Also why the Bengal wouldn't be something you could take offline to protect, since in the words of Kanye, no one man should have all that power.

I guess we'll have to park it in safe space then, should we ever find one.

As for the main gun, it would be really lame to not give it to players. Sure, it's REALLY powerful, but that's the whole point of the thing. It should be a grand reward for the grand quest of finding and restoring a Bengal, right?
