The Kraken: A Citizen's Delight or a Deep-Sea Nightmare?
"A ship isn't just metal and wires, it's a story waiting to be told." – An unknown sailor
The Star Citizen Kraken, a vessel promising immense capabilities, has drawn the gaze of countless players across the digital universe. It's a hefty proposition, one with a lot of promises. My personal journey with this magnificent beast has been, well, an experience.
Diving Deep into the Design

Kraken Overview
- Huge and imposing.
- Looks formidable from a distance. (Looks amazing.)
- Feels rather unwieldy to fly at times.
- Features unique systems that makes the ship cool.
The Kraken stands as a monument to immense, sometimes overwhelming scale, in the digital cosmos. It looks fierce. From the first glance, the sheer power in its form oozes. Its details – curves and rivets (these things count) – show attention to precision craftsmanship in the digital world.
Main Attributes
- Incredible size and firepower
- High armor. Feels like it can absorb countless hits.
- Big internal storage, plenty of space (this is crucial for carrying cargo, equipment and weaponry!)
Players love this because this is super important, especially to avoid losses on the big mission they do! (This point deserves recognition!).
Power of the Kraken: A Performance Review
This colossal craft feels quite sturdy and stable when piloting. You can definitely feel that huge weight as you accelerate.
The controls need adjustments though! (I found some difficulties mastering precise manoeuvres at high speed. Still working on it!)
| Feature | Positive Points | Negative Points |
|---|---|---|
| Handling | Strong structural foundation, feels solid and robust when navigating. | The control response feels sluggish at high speeds. Some maneuvering adjustments required. |
| Armor | Exceeds all expectations in protecting critical parts, high. | Needs fine-tuning; weak spots in certain areas |
| Interior | Vast cabin space, roomy cargo areas (Plenty to stow gear, ammo). | Design feels a tad dated or can look overcrowded in certain aspects |

Player 1: Captain Eva
"The Kraken is impressive in its brute strength but very unforgiving if not properly understood (it really demands to know the character of a pilot)."
Player 2: Commander Jack
"The Kraken's size provides an enormous storage space, perfect for mercenary or exploring jobs. Still not quite convinced it matches other ships. I'd say, take a look before getting excited about its looks. They miss so many details on the Kraken!."
My Take (personal reflections):
First impressions were wow. But flying it in combat is…well a unique challenge, quite exciting indeed. I have seen reports from veteran pilots, they were saying it isn't worth it! That makes me rethink a few things. But…its also stunning and worth giving it another try. It’s a unique creature in the Star Citizen universe, though!
Kraken & Combat: A Duel for the Ages (or at least a cockpit showdown)
- A real beast in the fight with high fire-power!
- The big gun makes it devastating when properly managed, however.
- Control scheme is not optimized.
The firepower! It has multiple heavy weapon setups, making this ship feel mighty.
Questions linger…
- Can it handle fast-paced combat maneuvers as swiftly as smaller vessels?
- Are its powerful weapons adequate when combating nimble antagonists?
(More pilots have to check to get to that final verdict!) The truth is… still trying to find my feet!

Exploring the Horizon: Kraken as an Explorer
- Massive carrying capacity, suitable for exploration
- Spacious crew and supply storage (great for expeditions!)
- Unveiling uncharted systems
The internal volume is immense, offering copious room for crew, provisions, and scientific gear to fulfill even the grandest exploratory goals.
Other Reviews, Comparisons (from players)
The Kraken gets praise from those appreciating big storage spaces (space is golden, am I right?!), as it can make big haul.
Many say it looks fantastic, an awesome feat of engineering. Many compare to other ships (big ships always do well!).
Concluding Remarks:
Is the Kraken the ship for everyone?
No! The ship demands understanding its unique qualities.
Some say it isn't ideal for space-combat. Others claim to have an excellent experience in exploration with the massive cargo capacity.
My personal verdict? This ship is impressive, yes, beautiful, but you have to respect that you are facing a beast! (In conclusion).
The ship needs more testing with the community. The more opinions from different pilots will bring about a complete understanding to whether it will excel or just take place to a certain status on its merit.
Star Citizen and the Kraken! A monumental creation! A great endeavor by the people building it!
Final Questions:
- Does the size and power of the Kraken justify its somewhat sluggish handling?
- Can its massive capacity outweigh the need for precise maneuvering during combat situations?
I'm still on this mission… of unraveling the complexities and strengths of the Star Citizen Kraken, as other pilots too are trying to understand it!
