Devil Khan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Old but you get the gist. The Claw cockpit GeraldEvans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Nice catch. Interesting that The Claw™ cockpit isn't shown as moving with the claw when it telescopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It isn't animated the rail is back and forth also can swivel. I'm not sure if they remained the same now. Still has the job as the manual claw operator. I have no item of what hasn't been shown to the public. Fizzlefuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzlefuse Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ive seen the Claw cockpit before on the concept art but i haven't been able to spot it on the model in any of the new reveals. That cockpit makes sense tho, I doubt you'd be able to effectively operate the Claw from the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 It's in this pic. It is hard to find and image from the bottom structure. The latest promo showed it with out any off the turrets and and extra pieces. also it was the old concept claw head. This one has the new claw head, but none of the turrets.

Devil Khan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 11 months old, still a good vid even if he missed the 2x dual rear turret/PDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has never been very much info about the Reclaimer, not even an official QA. Until then all we can do is speculate on concept art, the wiki, and teasers that have been shown GRIZZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3 Warm0ng3r Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Just had some awesome ideas pop up in my head in the game day thread. Who is up for some Reclaimer games! Jousting, Demo Derby with claw use only, massive attacks with like 10 reclaimers all attacking a single ship we catch unaware and see who can salvage the most (maybe an extra point or two per crewmember as well)? Could be fun.... GeraldEvans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I wonder, but it should be possible to blow off the claw without killing the Reclaimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I wonder, but it should be possible to blow off the claw without killing the ReclaimerWould it be possible to rip the claw off of a Reclaimer with another Reclaimer's claw and then use that claw to dismantle the rest of the ship?

I see it as some Connie that is just hanging out in space, either in the back doing something or afk and then a bunch of us show up. Someone says go and we start ripping it to shreds fighting over pieces Hungry Hungry Hippo style. That also has me thinking, if you get the claw on one of the Connie's engines for instance and it tries to take off, would it go anywhere do you think? Or just rip off its own engine, I am sure those are worth a pretty penny if in tact. Fizzlefuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Coming along nicely, I'd give it a month before fully testing everything. I love the drone room though, it those seem to be a lot bigger drones with the comparison size. I like the way the reworked the engine room from the Idris, by replacing the central "ball" with yellow-ish hue from the hexagonal shaped. I'd be very happy IF they were released for 3.0, but I'm picking 3.1 really. Hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroJak Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 GE you dont remember the drones from the original concept doc because that doc was released when you where still in high school!!!

Just a bit of the room. Time stamps or gfycats, anyone? AstroJak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroJak Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I see, no drones where shown. I believe while they showed the room there was some comment to the affect that the drones where still to be developed.If i was at my computer id find the time stamp...Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I just went through it. 8:55 ish. Just a shot of the room. It looks like the large cylindrical section of the wall would be for the round drones to park laying on their sides in a stack. AstroJak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I would assume there is 4 usable drones, It has going 4 docking stations. Warning theory craft: it looks like a lift for the drone which would pick up and bring it out and down for it to be launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your theory craft and would add this room and launch elevator should also have a repair facility and storage for backup dronesSent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The problem with a first-in-last-out arrangement is what happens if the last one recovered is damaged? You can't hold it back for in house repair if you have to launch it to enable launching the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeraldEvans Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It appears that they deploy out the bottom and return through the bottom. That would be the first one to come back is the last one to come out. If the last one back is damaged how do you hold out back and effect repairs without holding them all back?

AstroJak Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I think what Devil is saying is that all drones utilize the same launch elevator but are housed separately, thereby resolving your scenario and allowing any combination of launch sequences.Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
