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.
Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Squall for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.
Tactics
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.
