From what I know, must add that my info is a few years old, there will be one single derelict Bengal that can be recovered. This Bengal has been lost for many years. The only other way to get one is to subdue, board and capture one from the UEE, a task that will be neigh on impossible as apart from itself and it's compliment of craft, there will be approx 750 NPC crew to defend it. Oh and don't forget they will call for reinforcements if needed. Capturing one should be almost impossible. Then there is the fact that a player possessed Bengal will have to be manned 24/7 365 and cannot be logged off. Other groups that want a Bengal WILL be hunting your org if you have one.... It is going to be a lot of fun :)
@@therealdontclickme oh, I am counting on it. The Devs have said when the game launches, they are already doing this to some degree, they will follow player activities which will have a distinct effect on the unfolding history of the 'Verse. Players and Orgs can become famous throughout the 'Verse by virtue of their actions.... or infamous ! They have said that if players keep poking the wrong hornets nest, it could even result in Earth being invaded and occupied by a powerful alien force. Can't wait to see this game Really come to life over the next few years =)
Appreciate the updated info! The Bengal is going to be an insane objective that’ll lead to countless emergent events, as Orgs fight across the galaxy for dominion over one! I can’t wait 🙌
@@ViciDeum You are welcome. CIG produce an incredible amount of the development process and we are plain spoiled with the amount of background lore that has been written. I understand they still have a bunch of great writers spinning stories in the stars, I have some catching up to do :) I am sure you have heard about the other big contest point in the coming, much later I guess, hidden asteroid bases. An org can find one, some are smaller such as abandoned pirate weapons cash or bigger bases can be brought back on line and fitted with defenses and could even auto populate with an NPC population with shops etc. Possibly a pirate refinery could be in such a place. ...of course various orgs and pirate groups will have to fight for dominance over such a valuable resource. Me thinking here : perhaps the org in possession can extract a settable tax on all sales through vendors too. I have seen such a feature in a fantasy setting before and it adds extra incentive for players to want control over such a base. It is going to be fun !
Absolutely agreed! I can’t wait to see what they put together for the Bengal rebuild. Knowing CIG I’m sure it’ll have a whole mission arch and an epic quest line!
Those succeeding to have one, will not sleep well. Every org will try to board it and capture it. That's the kind of ship, you'll always need a Bach of player and NPC permanently inside since you cannot store it in a hangar. And on top of that, you'll always need a fleet of other sub cap, and capital ship to stay around it
Its kind of like an in Game Trophy in that sense. The Lore and History of those 3(?) Bengals will represent the Zeitgeist of the game, which org held which Bengals for how long will be a measure of their infamy, like a living Hall of Fame, that you can board and fly away.
Absolutely agreed! This will be one ship that needs a constant turnover of live players to maintain and protect! I suspect only the largest orgs in the thousands will have the player base to keep these active. The Bengal will definitely draw constant attention no matter where it is, by players who either want to capture or destroy it!
man i wish we could actually get this ship in game, though CIG have stated that the Bengal will never be in player hands, stating that the Javelin will be the biggest player ownable ship
@@connorbennett1517 The Pegasus is still intended but we don't know if it's needed for SQ42 or not. They haven't said anything so that possibly means it's part of the SQ42 info blackout. The other possibility is that it's at the back of the priority line until the ship teams have finished with the big ships in SQ42 and have the time and manpower to dedicate to such a large project. I woulda love it if it was a surprise sale at the same time SQ42 goes live.
The Bengal is priceless; it’s one of the few ships players will not be able to purchase. Instead, you have to rebuild one from derelicts you find in game!
You wont be able to buy them, you will have to find them across different systems and repair them from their derelict state! They will be very limited in how many can be found as well
Yes, but obviously not yet as it isn’t an in-game ship! But It’ll likely be a derelict that needs to be rebuilt, and limited to just one or a select few!
I think the ones lucky enough to find and repair one will never put it at risk and with the size twelve railguns how the hell will you reload it when it runs out you will have to bring it to a station showing every body what you have and where it is unless you can build you own ammo on board.
I agree, the Orgs that manage to reclaim and rebuild one of these beasts will probably never let it out of their sight or leave it unguarded for even a moment! It’ll probably remain the focus of that Org for the rest of their game!
agreed. unless CIG adds a way to keep the thing safe from players while the crew is away or inactive, quite a few player orgs may need to keep a few people online literally 24/7 after parking it in the middle of bloody nowhere to keep it from being taken. and I doubt there would be a way to reclaim it if it blows up either.
Tbh I hope CIG only sells extremely limited number of these and then stop. Maybe like 5 per wave to prevent servers from literally overloading that is even if they decide to sell those or stick with the derelict bengals plan thought I prefer the former. Buying a bengal for a giant fleet that you have created sounds absolutely amazing but if they don’t then maybe at least consider Pegasus?
oh it is an amazing ship but how are you going to crew that monster? a server currently full could not crew it... i see it as a wet dream that comes with a mess you do not want to deal with. now the kracken and the polaris are within the realm of reality...
That’s very true! It’ll be a monstrous undertaking trying to rebuild and maintain this ship, and I suspect it’ll be out of the reach for all but the largest, most organized groups in game!
I see your point but once it has been repaired you only need a caretaker crew to jump it out of harms way at the first moment of being discovered just the mechanics and radar and jump guy.
@@eparock do you remember me saying they will jump at first being discovered so if the first ship to discover it was by fluck a mantis they will distroy it first then jump you will have to do better than that for an argument against them jumping after being discovered.
@@terencespragg5708 you can have more than one mantis... i have seen ships not as agile as the mantis avoid the bengal and be well within the dampening range of a mantis... and my guess is the way it will be discovered will be by the endeavor and it's giant scanning dish module so you would be able to drop a fleet on it before it knows it has been discovered...you assume the only way you will find it is a solo pilot and blind luck or something.
Wroooooooong your wrong, the bengal isn't the tip of the sword OR the strongest ship in the game because if you Follow the Lore of SC its actually the Retribution which is 2897M long and was created to take down the Banu King ships, the bengal Fleet carrier was designed to Help ships like the Javalin and the Retribution in fights :) The bengal is probably the 2nd strongest ship
The only info on the retribution we saw was it being made on a planet or moon no one knows what it has just that it was made to take out a kingship they designed it after capturing a kingship.
While this ship won’t be available for sale, it will be available for players to rebuild in game! It’ll be incredibly limited and only achievable for the largest most well organized groups!
I'm building a pc and this game made me spend an extra £800 lmao totally worth it I can't wait I think star citizen is a buggy half complete mess but it will be my buggy half complete mess this is everything I have ever wanted
I’m glad you enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing your feedback! The Bengal Carrier is such an awesome ship, it’ll be amazing once we have it fully in game 👌
my favorite possible use of the Bengal? anti piracy/anti toxic player combat. in my opinion taking a bengal to a fight is simply dishonorable, since no one else is likely to have the ship and it would basically be an auto win for whichever team had it. but for combatting toxic groups of players? if the enemy plays dirty there's no use in trying to stay clean. maybe it's just my weird sense of honor, but I simply don't like the idea of using the bengal to fight other players except in certain circumstances. I would much rather it be something that the entire server or multiple orgs could use as a massive and mobile social hub that they could take on different missions. perhaps a player on a bounty hunting mission needs to hitch a ride to a system but desires company, they could dock and hang out with the other inhabitants until they reached his stop. or a merchant player looking to sell cargo to players could decide to make a stop on the carrier (once player to player economy is established if it is not already) to sell their stuff. or people could organize combat drills and use the bengal to respawn, repair, and restock without needing to go to a station. would be nice if they could implement a ship reclamation device on it but unlikely. my point is I would rather see the bengal used benevolently than maliciously, which is unfortunately an inevitability as there will b a group who eventually decides to build one and use it to bully an entire server. but I hope that there would be players willing to fight such bullying with their own carrier, in which case I hope they would let people watch because seeing two of these behemoths go toe to toe with their support fleet would be insane.
@@ViciDeum there are plenty of interesting ways they could be used. I would love to see what kind of strategies players came up with to utilize them, as long as none of them involved bullying an entire server lol, that's just munsportsmanlike
@@ViciDeum I also can't wait to see players create strategies to fight and beat them, that would be very interesting to see and would be impressive to say the least
That's not actually true! The devs have stated the largest a player can purchase is the Javelin, but the Bengal will be available as in-game wrecks that orgs can rebuild to then pilot themselves!
lots of miss information in this bad quality video the retribution is the bigest and most powerfull ship of the uee not the bangal 990 m the retribution 2700 m ....
I'm sorry, but the Bengal's exterior design looks like crap... They need to redesign it along with the 890 Jump... They try too hard to make ships look different at the expense of visual appeal...
The Bengal is definitely one of the older designs and hasn’t had much updates throughout the years (just a small polish pass). I personally don’t mind it, but it could use a little more love!
You can't own a bangel. This entire video is moot unless CIG says they will change that. Yes, at one point CIG said it may be possible to perhaps salvage one... But they never confirmed this would be a thing. Thus, this video is assuming a lot and is moot.
Well, anything CIG says before release is always subject to change, but I highly suspect they’ll still allow a Bengal to be repaired as they outlined before!

well these were the gameplay ideas created 10 years ago which aren't in the game yet.
I have to say its probably a really really bad idea to use it for exploration. The cost of fuel would be enormous!
We are still a solid 5 plus years away before we start seeing capital ships in the game, let alone monsters like this. Still, I can't wait!
imagining the Bengal having many org leaders deciding actions over what'll happen to the ships next engagement sounds insane!
I love this idea, and really hope they add fun tactical gameplay elements to help strategize large org fights onboard!
These videos have helped me pick ships for myself and my org, thank you for helping me make the decision, as I haven't regretted any of my in game or on pledge store purchases. The video format is awesome and can't wait to see more awesome

@@ViciDeum Absolutely!
The whole server should use this ship with a lot of smaller capital ships as a staging base to try and take over the Retribution.
I love this idea and can’t wait to see some Orgs try it!
From what I know, must add that my info is a few years old, there will be one single derelict Bengal that can be recovered. This Bengal has been lost for many years.
The only other way to get one is to subdue, board and capture one from the UEE, a task that will be neigh on impossible as apart from itself and it's compliment of craft, there will be approx 750 NPC crew to defend it. Oh and don't forget they will call for reinforcements if needed. Capturing one should be almost impossible.
Then there is the fact that a player possessed Bengal will have to be manned 24/7 365 and cannot be logged off. Other groups that want a Bengal WILL be hunting your org if you have one.... It is going to be a lot of fun :)

@@OniMetsuki Hey man do you have some videos of the devs talking about that ?
The gameplay loop to acquire and rebuild a Bengal Carrier is going to be as epic as the ship itself!
Absolutely agreed! I can’t wait to see what they put together for the Bengal rebuild. Knowing CIG I’m sure it’ll have a whole mission arch and an epic quest line!
Great video Vici, love sitting down on a friday afternoon and learning about a ship from you! Thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome! And thank you so much for sharing your support, I really appreciate hearing your kind words 😁👍
Maybe, just maybe we will one day see a hundred players steering their orgs carrier into battle for a new star system
That would be amazing and I look forward to seeing that myself as well!
Those succeeding to have one, will not sleep well. Every org will try to board it and capture it. That's the kind of ship, you'll always need a Bach of player and NPC permanently inside since you cannot store it in a hangar. And on top of that, you'll always need a fleet of other sub cap, and capital ship to stay around it

Its kind of like an in Game Trophy in that sense. The Lore and History of those 3(?) Bengals will represent the Zeitgeist of the game, which org held which Bengals for how long will be a measure of their infamy, like a living Hall of Fame, that you can board and fly away.

Just think of the level of trust you would need in your members not to steel it I can see a lot of members needing therapy.
i cant wait to someday visit that ship it looks awesome
Same! This ship is going to be its own living ecosystem just maintaining and protecting it. I can’t wait to visit one in game!
I’m gonna use mine for box missions
Your boxes will block out the sun haha!
Will this be released on star citizen or only squadron 42 you reckon?
Based on everything CIG has discussed, this should be available in Star Citizen!
@@ViciDeum LETS GOOO. Appreciate it bro
can't wait for my Retribution.
That would be epic!
man i wish we could actually get this ship in game, though CIG have stated that the Bengal will never be in player hands, stating that the Javelin will be the biggest player ownable ship
We will get this in-game, at least everything I have read! This will be an in-game wreck players will need to rebuild, but it'll not be sold outright!
I have a plan to build a massive org so we won't be touching them for while, But our empire shall be endless,
One day
This is the perfect ship for conquering the stars once you expand that empire into the great beyond 🙌
Which one is better the Bengal or the javelin
I'd say the Javelin, as the Bengal can only be acquired from a wreck, always persists in game, and requires 100+ crew members to run!
vichi: This is NOT the biggest ship the UEE has the Retribution class Dreadnaught is the biggest;) but this is HUGE!!!
That’s very true, the UEE still has the Dreadnaught! Although this is the largest ship a player can own in game!
How big will the Pegasus be or is that idea scrapped.
@@connorbennett1517 The Pegasus is still intended but we don't know if it's needed for SQ42 or not. They haven't said anything so that possibly means it's part of the SQ42 info blackout.

@@ViciDeum how come they never sold it yet then
Can own for now....SOON BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE WILL HAVE DREADNOUGHT/CARRIERS SO WE CAN KRUMP DA GITZ
Maybe, just maybe an orgs representative will one day Land his shuttle and be received on another orgs carrier for negotiations
I hope that we get some awesome RP, or even purposeful Org negotiations like that
Waht does it take to get one exactly?
It’s not currently available but the tentative plan is for there to be a derelict Bengal Carrier that you’ll be able to refurbish in game!
Oh cool, Chis Roberts rebuilds the TCS Tiger's Claw 30 years later...
I didn't realize the comparison until now, but it's uncanny haha
It's not just uncanny, in Wing Commander lore, the TCS Tiger's Claw is even referred to as a Bengal class carrier...
how much does it cost?
The Bengal is priceless; it’s one of the few ships players will not be able to purchase. Instead, you have to rebuild one from derelicts you find in game!
You wont be able to buy them, you will have to find them across different systems and repair them from their derelict state! They will be very limited in how many can be found as well
If you could buy it it would cost more than what basically anyone could afford
If one could by it, the price would start at $ 10 000, considering the prizes of the other ships.
Wait, can you pilot this ship?
Unfortunately this ship isn't available yet in-game!
Aw shucks. Anyways, thanks for the info!
Is it even possible to own this thing? I've heard a bunch of yesses and nos.
Yes, but obviously not yet as it isn’t an in-game ship! But It’ll likely be a derelict that needs to be rebuilt, and limited to just one or a select few!
I think the ones lucky enough to find and repair one will never put it at risk and with the size twelve railguns how the hell will you reload it when it runs out you will have to bring it to a station showing every body what you have and where it is unless you can build you own ammo on board.
You can also use freighters to get the stuff to the ship :)
Keep the ship at its secret location and let normal freighters gather the stuff.
I agree, the Orgs that manage to reclaim and rebuild one of these beasts will probably never let it out of their sight or leave it unguarded for even a moment! It’ll probably remain the focus of that Org for the rest of their game!
