== Summary ==
The '''Squall''' is an Upwell hauler released with the Equinox expansion on 11 June 2024. It features an Infrastructure bay, which CCP has said will be able to hold the Reagent materials that this expansion introduced, as well as [[Planetary Industry]] materials, moon goo, and [[Upwell structures]] and equipment. It features better base health stats than other tech 1 haulers, and also has up to six effective missile launchers at max skills, giving it missile firepower comparable to a [[Caracal]], a tech 1 cruiser. CCP has stated that production costs will be higher than other T1 haulers, which are around 2M ISK, with the Squall aimed to cost as much as a tech 1 cruiser to manufacture at around 20M ISK.

It features better base health stats than other tech 1 haulers, and its 3 missile launchers have effective DPS of 6 launchers at max Upwell Hauler skills due to the missile damage bonus, giving it missile firepower comparable to a [[Caracal]], a tech 1 cruiser.

In promotional media, CCP has pitched this ship as being able to fill two roles. One is simply as a tankier version of a PI hauler like an [[Epithal]] that can better defend itself with its shield tank and onboard missile launchers. The other is as a loot truck in raiding parties against Skyhooks, the attackable source of reagent materials introduced in Equinox. CCP stated that it hopes that the combat capabilities of the ship will allow haulers that would otherwise be in a passive and/or multiboxed role to instead actively take part in fights.
