Is there any information on the Caterpillar?

TL;DRNo Caterpillar information is available to share yet, but a designer is working on it seriously, early work looks good, and a Ship Shape feature may come in a few weeks, with no firm date.

No, we don't really have any tiny scraps of information we can share right now, but I will tell you that Randy is working on it. He's the same guy who worked on the Starliner, and he showed me some stuff this morning, really early stuff. It looks really, really cool. I gave him a heads up that I'll probably want to cover it on Ship Shape sometime in the next few weeks. That depends on when his stuff is far enough along and all the approvals that I need. I don't think it should be a problem, but I don't know exactly when yet.

I will add to that that Randy's very serious about the Caterpillar. He was excited to get it. We've had several meetings. I know every ship has that super thread with 100, 200, in some cases 700 pages. We've been poring through that, looking at the things that people expect from the ship. Doesn't mean you're going to get it. It's just we're educating ourselves about what you're expecting, what you're looking for. Again, with no claims that that's what we're going to do, but we want to make the most educated decisions we can, and Randy's taking this very seriously.

I'm pretty excited with the designs he's been coming up with. It looks like it's going to be nice to move through the ship, it's going to be nice to interact with the ship to do all the various things that you can do with the ship. It will definitely live up to its potential. I think a lot of people who think it has been on the wayside for too long, they're going to be really happy they've stuck with the ship. Randy's just doing an incredible job with it, so you guys are going to be happy.

A lot of times when you're like, why isn't this ship making progress? It's because you want to match the ship with the right person who can design that ship. Not every person can design every kind of ship, just like not every actor can play every type of role.
