I just want to know how in the world does every mercenary have his own personal Warbarge.

Question. Originally the warbarge was thought of as a capital ship. Is it still a capital ship?

Rattati, have you ever played EVE?
If these warbarges are what we think they are from the things titled "Warbarges" in the past Dust trailers these things are freackin Capital ships, you know how special a capital ship is in EVE?

Capitals do not appear out of thin air for capsuleer, and as a private citizen, it actually takes a great amount of work to actually acquire one.

Apparently people think Titans grow on trees. Once you board that ship you're in it until it goes boom or you abandon it, the ship can't even dock. It's a huge deal.

Of course, if you guys want to go back on lore and make warbarges something like a T1 freighter go ahead, its not like lore is relevant anymore. At least a small freighter is more believable than a damned capital ship.

Alrighty, just had a long discussion with Aeon on Skype about lore reasoning for warbarges.

Ultimately, they don't need to be capital ship sized. A catalyst can hold ~90 Madrugars in its cargo hold, and that's a spaceship specialised for combat. If we specialised a ship for cargo and basic support facilities, it likely wouldn't need to be much more than cruiser sized for most people. The one containing the MCC is a different matter, but hey, the NPC corps can provide that in non-corporate matches and on the corporate level the corporate flotilla can reasonably be expected to have more resources available for these things.

The first Warbarge is generic, and we hope to add both Faction Warbarges and Faction color selections. Work like this has been very inspiring, both for Warbarges and Dropsuits.
