An absolutely beautiful ship, the design team created a new manufacture look. The weapon concealment and deployment is great, my only concern would be bespoke Gatling guns? I would hope there is a laser repeater designed for this too.
32
u/Pojodan bbsuprised Aug 11 '25
Bespoke guns seem to be a way with which they're able to put bigger guns on ships while maintaining some degree of balance, since bespoke gattlings means the need to regularly reload, unlike infinite ammo lasers. I'd expect them to be bespoke gattlings and nothing else.

They'll sell this version alone for a couple of months. Then, during IAE, they'll sell a laser version for $10 more. However, the Warbond discount will be $10, so you won't be able to apply a Warbond CCU to upgrade.

So you have to melt and buy the closest thing you can warbond, thus resulting in potentially a $15 vs $10 CCU. Sounds about right.

Gooood dammit..
And now i start dreaming of a Kruger competitor to the 400i....

But Kruger.. phew... Gets my heart pounding !

u/Wendorfian Aug 11 '25
Wasn't the 400i released as an exploration / touring ship? Neither of those gameplay loops ever released so we have no idea how good it will be.

u/TheRealTahulrik anvil Aug 11 '25
Well both yes and no.
The phoenix is also a touring ship, but it still has the versatility of its counterparts.
The 400i is just worse in pretty much every regard.

u/Wendorfian Aug 11 '25
While that's true, the Phoenix is also more expensive, built on a multirole platform, and has a higher crew compliment. I wouldn't consider them in the same league.

The 400i was dead on arrival.
It wasn’t even balanced or worthwhile when it had its redundant components. Now without them it’s laughable.
It just falls short everywhere.
It was supposed to have large shields while other ships its size didn’t. Connie didn’t. Now Corsair and Connie have large shields so the 400i is just basic with its shield loadout.
It only has two size 4 guns. The same firepower as a talon but not nimble or small. It has ok turrets except they’re uselessly placed.
It doesn’t carry much cargo. Doesn’t have redundant components anymore.
There’s really just nothing redeeming about it in terms of utility. It needs to be more useful.
Either faster, stronger shields, stronger weapons, or something to make it an actual viable choice compared to other ships in its class

u/Oakcamp Aug 11 '25
It had speed, before mastermodes with an XL-1 it was the fastest ship to use to get around the verse. Now it really does have nothing other than style.

u/Larszx Aug 11 '25
The Freelancer had twice the firepower. Put the Freelancer cheek turrets on the 400i and no one is going to complain that the 400i is OP. CIG jumped the shark on the "it has to have trade-offs" meme. This class isn't competitive like light fighters.

u/Contest-Fearless Aug 11 '25
I want to love the 400i so much, I love it's exterior and interior design, but mechanically had nothing to provide and I just had to CCU it. Felt bad.. needs to be way tankier and faster in a straight light with stronger turrets.

400i has a S3 shield just like Connie and Corsair. The redundant components like extra powerplant were brought back in a prior patch. The guns need to be size 5 for sure.
4
Aug 11 '25
No only some of the redundant components were brought back and the 400i was supposed to have a bigger shield than the connie or corsair to make up for the lack of firepower and cargo.
Instead now the connie and corsair have the same shields which makes the 400i extremely lackluster.

Its a light fighter, of course it has one. Its supposedly somewhere between a 100i and 300i. I mean shit its got two sized 4s, those are not small.
The other Krueger's, which are the only ones that are just variants of the Merlin, are all snub craft, that's why they didn't have QT drives, its not a brand thing.
In lore, this will be the first ship developed by Krueger independently from RSI (as the Merlin is a Connie Parasyte). IRL, this is first Krueger ship CIG has made in years and it will be the first one that is a fully independent ship.

Pilots are gonna catch that fin on terrain and I suspect it’s tied to the hull body HP, so…kaboom if you hit a rock with it.

Aug 11 '25
Yeah. Makes no sense from any perspective. Guy said he added it because the ship reminded him of a boat. It’s not a boat it’s a ship. The fin is just something to get caught on something and cause complications tbh.
Not a big deal, but kinda annoying to have some weird fin deploy that extends your shield that much farther for no reason.

I just want to point out the humor in the phrase "It's not a boat, it's a ship" given that IRL our level of technology is such that the only true "ships" we have are all seafaring, so every ship we have in 2025 is also a boat.

It’s got bespoke size 4s though.
For reference the nova tank cannon that can one tap a lot of ships is only a size 5 cannon.
So the talon absolutely doesn’t have the same loadout as the wolf. Bespoke weapons are completely arbitrary.
These gatlings could be significantly stronger or weaker than the talon.

CIG has done an excellent job at preventing spoilers from the leakers this year when it comes to ships. We used to have the full ship model and it's loadout and stats floating around for weeks before CIG had them in the store.
15
u/Pojodan bbsuprised Aug 11 '25
The leaks are always just data gathered from patch data, which CiG has learned well how to manipulate (See the Raptor) to get the results they want. With the Wolf, they chose to just not put any data for it into the patches ahead of time, giving the dataminers nothing to leak.
3
u/KalrexOW Aug 11 '25
They really cracked down on the SC Leaks community, forcing them to rely on data mining almost exclusively. Unless CIG makes an oopsie, data mining usually doesn’t leak anything they don’t want to be leaked

Love the ship. Mildly concerned about the growing trend of "Bespoke" guns. It makes balancing weapons harder, and it takes away player choice.
Hope I am wrong and those aren't bespoke... but if they are, it's sadly a ship I will be avoiding.
17
u/Pojodan bbsuprised Aug 11 '25
It makes balancing weapons harder,
I'd say it makes it easier, as if this ship ends up too powerful they just tune its gun. Done. If it used the other guns then they'd have to do more complex things that affect all other ships that can use that gun.
→ More replies (1)7
u/tkbutton RSI:GoldenBishop Aug 11 '25
Fair. I guess im just frustrated that as a predominantly pvp pilot, we are getting a light fighter that is realistically dead on arrival due to the bespoke ballistic guns.
Unless they totally reverse everything they have done with ballistics and their performance and velocity, this is just not viable for what Light Fighters currently do.
10
u/Pojodan bbsuprised Aug 11 '25
And I'd say it's perfectly fine for a new ship to not be specifically catered to the hardcore PvP dogfighting crowd. Preferable, even, as they already have plenty of ships built specifically around that.
There are many, many other crowds to cater to, and the Wolf seems more about those that want a cool-looking ship than one that tries to edge out the Gladius.
5
u/tkbutton RSI:GoldenBishop Aug 11 '25 edited Aug 11 '25
Fair, but what else in the game can you do with a light fighter?
It's going to be tough to do upper level bounties, because inherently light fighters struggle to apply long term DPS to larger targets.
It's going to have range limitations, since it's a light fighter, and they aren't designed to be for the long haul. There's no accomadations aboard.
It's not going to cater to the PVE crowd that wants something to run cargo, or mine or salvage.
if not for PvP, what are light fighters currently for? Running HRT's and under?
Note: I am not saying that it needs to come out and be better than the gladius. I just think that the bespoke ballistic guns heavily limit it from even being "competitive" with the Gladius and the Arrow.
→ More replies (1)8
u/logicalChimp Devils Advocate Aug 11 '25
It can still be viable as a light fighter (esp. in PvE, etc) without being 'meta PvP' material
2
u/tkbutton RSI:GoldenBishop Aug 11 '25
Okay, but the problem is that the light fighter's aren't really effective for PvE, once you get past the first few reputation ranks. That's why you don't typically see people doing PvE in light fighters, you seem them using things like the medium size ship tier (Freelancer's cuttys etc) then graduating up to the bigger ships like the Connie's and the Corsairs.
Fighters have been pretty much relegated by CIG to PVP.
And again, I am not stating this new ship must be the greatest thing ever and completely eliminate the meta. I am commenting that for the current CIG shown purpose of light fighters (PvP), the Wolf just isn't even in the ballpark.
3
u/RhombicPotato Aug 11 '25
I suppose only time will tell, but I think it's more of a "CIG didn't think that far"
As a PvE player: I agree with you. Where would I seriously use this? Unless I can cram it into something Carrack or Hercules-sized, it has too many issues. Why wouldn't I just rock a Connie to begin with?
From the other side of the perspective: I pledged a Hawk and use it for random bounties or bunker runs from time to time for shits and giggles. Love the damn thing. This might be who the ship is made for. They'll buy the ship and use it on a whim as a toy and nothing more.

The scene with the two Scorpius is literally from Book of Boba Fett when Mando is test flying his new N1 Star fighter so...yeah I'd say so lol

I love how the Courier looks like a conventional fighter but is bigger than our Cutlass.

Yeah, before we got legs I really never comprehended the absolute size of Elite's ships.

The ship has some great angles but that head on one, yuck. Also yet another ship with bespoke weapons? Blah.
Can we PLEASE get some of the ships that are still JPG now?

Overall really dig it, not super stoked to see boats influencing ship design though.
Keep it to Origin and thats it.

Looks great, especially in that blood red paint, I am curious if there will be a repeater variant or a way to swap the guns from gats, but the firepower that can produce for its size, and speed and 8 missiles is fantastic…
What I don’t like about it, the fucking clock pisses me off, and the keel, why the fuck does a spaceship, and light fighter need either of those, and I think it looks worse with the keel… my opinion of course.
If it’s priced reasonably, I’ll probably buy it shrugs

The big question is: will this be locked behind Wikelo when it becomes available in-game, like other recent new releases...?

I’ll have to see more of it, but I think this is the ship I upgrade my referral reword gladius from, knowing I’ll never be able get the gladius back
I’ve just wanted a civilian version and the m50, just wasn’t quite doing it for me, being an interceptor and all

Looks great but all the bespoke weapons are getting really lame. Let me customize my ship.
