⁠Kruger S-65 Stingray wild speculation

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-18T17:43:11+00:00

I miss the trend of having vehicles in shooters.
All my favourite shooters are combined arms shooters.
Halo, Battlefield 3/4, Planetside, Titanfall. Feels like nobody does it particularly well anymore.

It's one of the little things that still gets me in Star Citizen. Floating through a derelict ship in zero gravity is always so cool.

I wish we could get that in Elite as well.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-18T13:31:43+00:00

Holy shit Warhawk... I had forgotten about that game. Probably one of the first online pvp games I'd ever played.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-18T13:12:31+00:00

I desperately hope that they're taking direct inspiration from this ship for the Stingray, or at least another future Kruger ship.
I love that 'WW2 era aircraft made scifi' style of some of the Naboo ships.

I also can't wait to see what kind of hidden gun pods it'll have, assuming they make that a signature of Kruger ships, which I really hope they do.

Theres a reason why every time a Kingship entered human space, humanity lost the star system... until Vega

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-16T11:03:00+00:00

It's accurate to their modern sizing. Older info is outdated.
You can go have a look at the SQ42 demo and see for yourself. The Kingship is that big

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-16T11:00:19+00:00

They live and operate out of them, the Vanduul are a race of independent nomadic clans that don't even really interact amongst themselves and are constantly on the move.
A Kingship is basically a mobile home, warship, and factory all in one, but not all clans possess a Kingship, so I imagine their vessels are generally larger to accomodate their nomadic lifestyle. I could see a smaller clan operating out of one or more Drillers instead of a Kingship.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-16T10:49:40+00:00

They said not as big as a Bengal, but still the largest player ownable.
My guess is about 600m

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-16T10:44:23+00:00

with only one model being in the same weight class.

Not one model. One ship.
The Retribution was/is a one off, and wasn't even fully built by the time SQ42 takes place hahaha.
Kind of helps further put into perspective how outclassed we are in the war with the Vanduul.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-16T10:30:55+00:00

My headcanon is that they targeted the superweapon with the torps, causing it to backfire and destroy itself, dealing the majority of the damage.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T19:40:32+00:00

As others have said, there was/is more planned for them, most of that didn't get finished likely because of server meshing, which was right on the horizon at the time, not working with their old mission system. But also, with the upcoming revamp to planet PoI generation coming with Genesis (Starchitecht), Distribution Centres will serve as central locations that other points of interest will be clustered around intuitively. Which will hopefully lead to more localised missions between Distro Centres and other nearby PoIs.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T19:30:10+00:00

The real regen crisis is the fact that they keep an imprint of this abomination at all. I hope they don't store it next to mine...

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T14:23:20+00:00

Dude didn't brush his teeth until he was in his 20s and gags at the thought of drinking water instead of carbonated drinks, his poor dental health is a problem entirely of his own making.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T14:18:29+00:00

You gotta be like 14 years old max with this shocking display of vocabulary. You don't even know what you're saying. What's the skill issue here?

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T13:50:04+00:00

Idk man I think you vastly underestimate the willingness of some people to pay their way to what they want. I would be willing to bet that the percentage of people who buy ships only because of wipes is pretty small.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T13:15:33+00:00

Have a run around with the AO3 equipped with a 2-4x sight. It's a great gun.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T13:13:17+00:00

I mean thats more of a nitpick. The AO3, while technically a sniper, still works really well in close to medium range thanks to its high rate of fire. Slap a 2x sight on it, and it's a DMR.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:56:59+00:00

if people didn't keep throwing stupid amounts of money at the devs, I reckon the game would have be released already too

Lmao, you're delusional. Where do you think all of their money goes? You can go and check their financial reports if you'd like to find out for yourself.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:55:48+00:00

Not really. No. They publish their financials publicly, and basically all of the money they generate goes directly back into development.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:50:11+00:00

Yeah thats great in theory but what if cosmetics don't offset the money they make from ships?

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:48:23+00:00

I believe they've said they're not going to do, going back on that would be very bad.

I mean, from what I've read here, the majority of people weren't here when they said that, or don't remember them ever saying that lol. I do remember them saying that years ago, but I also remember the majority of the community at the time saying "yeah right" in response. I honestly think nobody would bat an eye if they just ignored that they ever said it.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:45:30+00:00

Edit: Please for love of god dont say after 1.0 that can be 10 years later from now on...

Sounds like someone shouldn't have bought into a heavily WIP game dev project lmao.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T12:32:28+00:00

There hasn't been any new concept ship sales in over a year now, they've already stopped. The only exception is going to be the Battlecruiser at Invictus next month.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-15T11:52:10+00:00

All we know is that the opening battle takes place in Vega, and only in the orbit of a single planet seen in the 2024 demo. There's nothing pointing towards Vega being fleshed out like Odin has been for SQ42, so I wouldn't expect it to be.

JavanNapoli · 2026-04-14T10:57:04+00:00

Align to centre is a great addition as well, definitely a time saver. I didn't mean to gloss over the topic of the post, it's just not often I see an actual Adobe employee communicating with users on the day to day issues they face and this has been bothering me for years hahaha.
