The Kraken will follow the same rule-set as the persistent bed log off system we current have in game, if the owner of the Kraken logs off and there are no other players on-board, then it will be despawned.

What happens to the landed/hangar-landed ships if the Kraken pilot logs off/is disconnected? And what will happen when the owners of the landed ships log off? Do their ships persist until the Kraken is despawned, or is the pad free for another one to land on? Players landing on the ship during game-play will have their ships permanently on the pad. It is similar to how the Constellation will be able to have a ground vehicle within when spawned but is unable to spawn another ground vehicle in the hold, mid-flight. When you spawn your Kraken, you will be able to spawn ships in/on it if you own them, but beyond that point no other ships can be spawned dynamically on-board. This will provide a safe and secure landing at the expense of time, similar to our current automated landings at stations and rest stops. Like the Idris or other ships where you can land whilst they are in motion, we’ll provide automated landing solutions for those who do not wish to attempt a manual landing. What are your plans for landing on the Kraken while it is in motion? Like other ships in our game, being outside your ship when in Quantum travel is an extremely dangerous scenario, so it’s not recommended due to the slightest misstep resulting in death or abandonment in deep space. Quantum drives in our universe create a little bubble around the ship to move it and protects outward to cover those in very close proximity to the hull. Yes, you’ll be able to Quantum with ships parked on the deck.

This means it is able to refuel, restock and repair ships that have landed on it but these resources must be taken from the Kraken’s stores.Ĭan you quantum travel while ships are parked on the deck? What about with people on the deck? The Kraken is, in many ways, a mobile base. What are the Kraken’s refuel, restock, and repair abilities for docked ships? With the improvements to shield tech coming with Single Distance Field in the future, the projected bubble people currently see will be removed with a more hull wrapping projection of shield energy. Ships contained inside the Hangars are covered by the shields. The Kraken’s shields cover the hull of the ship and do not cover the ships or people that may be on the exposed landing pads. Do the Kraken’s shields cover other ships parked on the deck?
