Will the Caterpillar ever be given the ability to have detachable modules and to be outfitted for different scenarios, like it advertises on the website? Or will we be looking at a Mark II version in the future?

TL;DRJohn Crewe wants to fully redo the Caterpillar with modularity rather than make a Mark II, and says modules are still wanted, with the ship looking broadly the same but brought up to the Ironclad's standard.

Again, speaking from my point of view, I don't want a Mark II Caterpillar. I want to pretty much fully redo it to its current state, not as a Mark II, and give it the modularity. So we've recently been working on the Caterpillar in a very limited scope to support the command module feature. And that sort of highlighted just how old that asset is. Again, like you said, every ship we do, we learn from. So going back to something that at this point is probably about 10 years old was quite an experience for some of the artists who worked on it. And yes, we still want to do modules. The Caterpillar, as you know it and love it, will look broadly the same when we do that, but expect it to be brought up internally to the current standard that you see in the Ironclad.

Do you want to talk about any of the modules you're considering?

We never officially disclosed any, I believe, but...
