== Summary ==

The '''Squall''' is an ~~upcoming~~ Upwell hauler ~~to be~~ released with the Equinox expansion on 11 June 2024. It features an Infrastructure bay, which CCP has said will be able to hold the ~~new~~ Reagent materials that this expansion ~~will introduce~~, 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.

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 ~~that will be~~ 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.
