... i think your just delulu from now on.... you get the P and then you get the K upgrade kit what is 24/7 365days a year in your shop....

#

i just block you from now on, people who cant accept facts even if there are black on white infront of them annoy me

#

also its stated as industrial ^^

#

i just want my mini bengal

K is offered with LTI 24/7 infinite stock once you buy idris p

#

it even has a warbond deal during ILW

supple fog
#

other way around i think

#

warbond 24/7

#

and store credit is only in may and november on sale

you right

#

So yes it is industrial, But it is the closest thing we have to a poor mans carrier.

supple fog
#

i just want the mini bengal

#

there is like a light version of the normal bengal

fallen oar
#

I mean, they showed a bunch of different versions of the bengal chassie in the sqd 42 vid

supple fog
#

exactly

fallen oar
#

Poss one of them is a scaled down bengal as a battleship?

#

For a buyable ship

#

would be

#

amazing

#

and I'd splurge on it

supple fog
#

in size between javelin and idris

#

would be perfect

#

make it tanky and just some weapons, not a lot

#

then you can deploy and store ships mid fight if you have some helping ships around it

#

and gimme my medical javelin

#

or a module to lock quantum in a giant range

orchid shadow
#

i think the scaled down bangal is still bigger then jav

supple fog
#

idm

#

make it 4k then

#

i will buy it

orchid shadow
#

it looks like they only removed some turrets to make room for more hangar space and some thrusters

#

but yeah the bengal mini carrier looked dope

supple fog
#

but since they said already, javelin is the biggest ship what a player can buy

#

prob similar size

orchid shadow
#

ive heard conflicting news on that

#

did they say it was the current largest ship players can buy or the largest ship players can buy

#

ive heard both

supple fog
#

as far as i know they said it will be

#

so prob nothing bigger

orchid shadow
#

CIG cant make their minds up tho so i wouldnt be shocked if they made something larger then jav buyable

supple fog
#

or maybe its the price

#

mini bengal for 2.9k i would buy it too xd

orchid shadow
#

i would think about it

supple fog
#

i would yeet the kraken

orchid shadow
#

it would def be something cool to have but not being able to land on planets is a turn off for me

supple fog
#

you get used to it

orchid shadow
#

😂

supple fog
#

NOT

#

since they said space station would be possible with pioneer later idm that

#

i would love to build a giant ass space station

#

above my planetary base

slim gulch
orchid shadow
#

to clarify

fallen oar
#

I mean from my understanding and research is they stated we will be able to take control of space stations

orchid shadow
#

they did not say pioneer could make space stations

fallen oar
#

Not build em

orchid shadow
#

however they did say they were exploring what else the pioneer could build to make it feel more like a capital construction

#

and at a bar citizen a dev mentioned pioneer building small space station iirc

fallen oar
#

Huh that would be interesting

#

Maybe Pioneer is required to assist in repairing a bengal?

orchid shadow
#

pioneer cant do repair

#

however it may be able to construct turrets and such to replace broken ones on bengal we will just have to see

slim gulch
#

I was only told about ground bases and heard that players would not be able to build or control space stations.

slim gulch
orchid shadow

#

since theres not really anything else to build in space other than space stations

slim gulch
#

Ooh! Very nice!

orchid shadow
#

personally the fact it opens up in the middle and is hollow makes me believe it would be pretty realistic for it to be able to make sections of a space station and another ship like the SRV can connect the sections

#

still no idea as to why it has that weird side extension

#

would have made more sense for half of it to slide out to expand the area in the middle

but thats just Aegis ships, im mainly an industrial kinda guy,, ill not use the Idris for combat, so i wont even buy the big gun for it, im using it as a transport/heavy medical,, generally an all-arounder ship where i store other ships inside to do my buisniss

Hammerhead doesn’t have a hangar or a gun range

supple fog

also a hammerhead wont do shit against a idris P

slim gulch
# supple fog also a hammerhead wont do shit against a idris P

don’t they currently shred Idrises? The Hammerhead is significantly smaller and is more compact while holding a lot of guns. The Idris isn’t good for much but shooting at smaller ships and the Hammerhead can fill that roll but better. Yes, it doesn’t have a Hangar but that is a minor inconvenience when jt costs half as much.

supple fog
#

its ment to kill light/medium fighters

#

you aint gonna kill a idris with that

#

a perseus could kill one if the have good pilots and know how to fight

supple fog
slim gulch

It doesn’t do very much. It’s nice to have variety but it seems
 like the framework for a ship.

supple fog
#

i mean you still have s5 guns you gonna kill a perseus prob

slim gulch
#

Then
 why not just buy a much smaller Perseus?

ember yew
#

It’s an allrounder, it’s got a hangar, sizeable cargo space, it’s not nearly as much a frontline brawler as the m but can hold its own

supple fog
#

14x s5 + 8x s4 prob will still kill a lot of ships up to perseus size

slim gulch
#

I generally consider S5 worse than S4 because slower velocity. S6/S7 is where it starts to get good again.

slim gulch
ember yew
#

Perseus is a dedicated gunship that’s smaller than a hammerhead, you pick a Perseus over an Idris because you don’t want a hangar or cargo space you only want to be doing combat

you gonna have a hard time

if you spam 4 polaris all 4 s10 missle maybe 2-3 hit if the gunners dont do their job by shooting them down

Not faster then polaris but wont have issue tracking you with s10 if your not close (what you wont survive)

fallen oar
#

From my understanding, the Idris has a higher max speed then most if not all ships rn,

#

slow start up but when at max it outruns everything

#

Thats also current, and well could change later when fully implemented in player hands

#

the idris railgun

#

or mass driver

supple fog
#

S10 laser beam or s10 mass driver

#

Thats what you will use for combat

#

A P wont be used for just combat

#

Thats just a cargo ship with some defense, what needs dome other ships next to it

fallen oar
#

Yep

slim gulch
slim gulch

#

But way more armor and protection then normal cargo ships

#

P is used for high value item transport

slim gulch
#

It’s so big and doesn’t hold very many items for its crew count. What would be high value but small enough to warrant an Idris P?

fallen oar
#

I mean the cargo hold is for sure larger then the reclaimers and it would probably be best to do runs through Pyro, since enemy ships would be more aggressive

#

As well as pirates

native crag
# fallen oar I mean the cargo hold is for sure larger then the reclaimers and it would probab...

And its able to defend itself! 😄 only issue is if someone else comes in something big AND got a QT dampener ship with em,, then you need to chase down that before you can run lmao,, tho considering the Idris is fast, id guess it outrun most if not all QT dampening ships in game, so you just need to live long enough to run from that, full power to rear shields and blast,, better to live to fight another day than fight a loosing battle i guess 🙂

supple fog
#

cant wait to replace the hangar of my javelin with a giant capital qt dampener with emp

fallen oar
#

LOOOOOOL

#

Do that then use the cargo hold for holding ships @supple fog

native crag
fallen oar
#

If it flies passed don't forget about the giant javelin size 9 or larger quad turrets

#

Top and bottom

native crag
#

yes, but how movable are those turrets? how easly can the Idris dodge those turrets? whats the reloading? how skilled is the gunners? its a lot of variables, from gunners to pilot skills, and how many shots will you need from a Javelin to piere and kill the Idris?

supple fog
#

dont forgett the emp then

#

to all those weapons

native crag
#

Exactly, and what if the Idris has escort? a small fleet of Vanguard Sentinels? they could reek havoc on the Javelin's system as they are small and manouverble and could get dangerously close to the Javelin and knock its big guns out of action so the idris can make a run for it and save tiself and the cargo

#

so as said,, it is a ton of variables if that idris will escape or not, its entirely up to what each of them carries, escorted by and skill levels oh and systems on the ships that accounts for EMP, QT dampener and all that, its... a beautyful chaos one cant predict, and i love it ❀

supple fog
#

dont forgett my s12 i dumbfire when you fly by XD

native crag
# supple fog dont forgett my s12 i dumbfire when you fly by XD

A skilled pilot will be aware of the Size 12's and not fly in a straight line,, and what do you do if the Idris is escorted by my Javelin? (which im buying next time its on sale) you think the Javelin can sustain both an Idris AND a Javelin hammering you? i could also hire a crew for my Polaris, that'd put the odds very much against you, you never know what you'll face, as said, its a chaos, it will be hard to predict what you'll face, there is no telling UNLESS you somehow have intel, a spy, or anything that gives you aheadsup of whats about to happen

#

for all you know,, that Idris can be carrying a full cargo of Fury's armed for combat and deploy god knows how many fury's fits inside a Idris,,, can you imagine like 50 Fury's al larmed with distortion swarming your javelin? sure easy to kill if you hit em lmao but you never know what will happen, thats why this game is so good,, at any given point something might happen =))

supple fog
#

a fury wont do dmg on a javelin ^^

native crag
#

it was just a total random example lol

#

no need to take it seriouse

fallen oar
#

@native crag If you are focused on dodging the size 9's you are gonna expose yourself to the size 7's and 3's so either way

#

You'd be lit up as an idris

#

So the thing is a javelin is meant to destroy larger ships, a Polaris will more likely then not be better against the jav then an idris for this reason.

#

the polaris is best against larger ships with little to no PDS AKA the javelin.

#

A single polaris wont win, but a few could have a fighting chance.

#

The javelin is meant to be supported by a idris, and a few perseus's to deter fighters and any and all missiles/torps

#

if the javelin doesnt have to worry about torps, it will destroy any and all larger ships like a battleship

slim gulch
tired pilot
#

Idris and Perseus won't deter fighters

#

you want fighter screens or hammerheads for that

#

besides fighters are no threat to a javelin

#

it's just Ares and eclipses that are fighter size

#

that's what you have fighters and PDTs for, to kill those fast ship killers

fallen oar
#

Let me specify

#

Deter bombers

#

Fighters ON their own with normal weapons can not scratch the jav and idris

native crag
fallen oar
#

Now lets equip the perseus's with flak rounds and they can easily take care of fighters

tired pilot
#

not deter, more like redirect. bombers will be too busy tryna kill the other ships to focus just one

fallen oar
#

@native crag You go past it and now both size 9's have eyes on your rear was my point

#

@tired pilot Not at all, dont forget PDS targets missiles and torps

#

If all the ships are near perseus's and idris's they cant use torps or missiles effectively if at all

#

Which is why I specifically said supported by those two

tired pilot
native crag
tired pilot
#

that fighter going 200m/s will out speed a size 7 turret trying to turn on it

fallen oar
#

@native crag you are right, just simply stating the reality behind going over it.

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

@tired pilot It can yes, but again the fighter wont be able to scratch the larger ships

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

No they aren't LOL top and bottom, almost complete 360 view.

#

It can be but the PDS will take care of its torps

#

Idris's PDS is worse positioning wise but has 4.

native crag
fallen oar
#

Which is true, I never said the javelin would destroy it if its focused on running so idk why ye arguing with me on that point I simply said flying over exposes your year to size 9's

#

I think you are jumping into the ocean when i said river.

native crag
#

Full rear shields^

fallen oar
#

Again, Did I say it would destroy it,

#

No i said exposed.

#

You are jumping before even told to jump

tired pilot
#

the top turret can't see anything below the bridge either because the bridge is in its way

native crag
#

and whats to say the Javelin will even hit? if the idris just makes sure to be abit above, the Javelin cant shoot its big guns rearwards, and imma guess the javelins big guns takes a bit time to turn around,, and they'll most likely be focused forward when Idris is on its bow, so when the idris passes to the stern, there is a chance it'll be out of range before the guns even get back on target, i dunno the turret roation speed of the big guns so idk tbh, nor do i know the speed of the Idris

tired pilot
#

realistically your top turret is gonna be the only PDT able to help protect another ship

#

the Perseus 2nd PDT is there to protect your engines from torps and fighters

#

that's all it can do

#

it has an awful arc of fire because of the ships shape

tired pilot
#

it's a useful thing to have because it's a point defence turret. but it's no good for defending another ship unless that other ship is behind you and being shot at from in front of it, in that case you would be doing a bad job because the enemy is behind you

#

it's point to defend is the engines, I wouldn't rely on a Perseus or Idris to help a javelin with torps. they will be too busy tryna save themselves from torps to worry about another ship

supple fog
tired pilot
#

same with fighter screens and hammerheads, they will be too absorbed with dogfighting or killing fighters to help a javs PDTs defend against torps

supple fog
#

i mean it can shoot infront aswell

tired pilot
#

that's the cannon

#

not the pdt

supple fog
#

you mean this?

#

or this

tired pilot
#

cannon is blue, PDT on engines is red

tired pilot
#

it protects the engines but that's it

supple fog
#

yeah

#

thats its job

tired pilot
#

on the left and right it's blocked by engines

supple fog
#

and bottom from missles

tired pilot
#

behind it's blocked by the ship, all it can do is look up down and straight, they said the PDTs have 360° coverage when they just don't

#

there's 2 PDTs with pretty bad arcs

fallen oar
tired pilot
#

I mean the top one can't see down below the bridge

fallen oar
#

Okay so the bottom one IS bad placement,

tired pilot
#

yeah

fallen oar
#

But other then that singular bad placement

#

have 2 of them

#

and an idris

#

No torps getting through

#

and they are mobile and can rotate quickly so

supple fog
#

i have no pds

fallen oar
#

Hopefully that changes XD or you can attach a PDS blade to the size 3's

tired pilot
signal folio
#

what are we talking about?

tired pilot
#

your Perseus and Idris will have to focus on keeping themselves alive. not the javelin

signal folio
#

pers?

tired pilot
#

so your PDTs on those ships will be shooting torps and fighters coming for them

fallen oar
#

@tired pilot You understand PDS is automated

tired pilot
#

you can't trust another ship to protect you from torps when they are tryna protect themselves

fallen oar
#

right?

#

They are automated systems, not player controlle,d but theyc an be

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

The NPC would perform better

#

as the PDS only targets missiles and torps

#

The idris ingame HAD active PDS

#

But no torp or missile would hit it

tired pilot
#

cig have said they want it to be Player > NPC > blades

fallen oar
#

so they disabled it

#

Players can do More, but the PDS is built to deter missiles and torps

#

So it will perform objectively better in that field

#

While NPC's can adapt to orders, players can adapt on their own so it depends on what you want

#

But objectively PDS will do better on its own for it intended purpose

tired pilot
#

blades do many things

fallen oar
#

The PDS Is BUILT around a blade.

tired pilot
#

PDTs can be controlled by blades

fallen oar
#

The Blade can be implemented to other turrets

#

I dont think you understand what the PDS is, the PDS itself is already automated

#

It CAN be controlled by players or NPC's

#

but it is automatically mannned

#

by a computer to target missiles and torps

tired pilot
#

if they were already automated, why don't they work?

#

you have to install a blade which isn't in game yet

fallen oar
#

They were turned off on the idris,

tired pilot
#

Perseus is going to come with blades pre installed as per their Q&A but the Idris might not have them stock

fallen oar
#

As I stated

#

the Idris has PDS, but its turned off because no missile or torp could kit it

tired pilot
tired pilot
fallen oar
#

And they needed to make it killable which is why the idris has less armor and HP.

#

Because the PDS is NOT on every ship?

#

Only certain ships have built in PDS

tired pilot
#

PDTs won't be coming to players the same way they work on the Idris

#

players > NPCs > blades

fallen oar
#

Perseus, Idris are BOTH have build in PDS

#

Again,

#

You are talking about normal turrets

#

Not PDS

tired pilot
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up making blades have a 300m engagement distance or something stupid

fallen oar
#

Again, Normal turrets

#

Not PDS turrets

#

stop using your info for normal turrets on PDS turrets

#

PDS turrets have already been clarrified as in the use of the idris to be automated already,

#

Blades as is already exist in game, they stated this at a Q/A that all enemy ships are blades.

tired pilot
#

Hercules has PDTs, they don't work

fallen oar
#

But the PDS operates differently

#

A2? Cause no it does not

#

The turret in the rear as far as I am tracking is Not a PDS turret,

#

the design is massively different even around the turret to be even considered a PDS

tired pilot
#

it sure as hell isn't an offensive turret if it's on the rear

#

it's called point defence

#

turret

#

meaning it's defending a point

#

that being the entrance to the ship and the engines

fallen oar
#

Point Defence Turret, Point Defense System

#

You are talking about a completely different part.

#

I have said PDS every time for a reason

#

The Perseus and Idris Both had those specific parts listed as PDS

tired pilot
#

PDS doesn't exist 😭

#

where have they ever called it a pds

fallen oar
#

I have seen it multiple times across different platforms about ships and ship designs with updated information,

#

I have also listened in on the Q/A's

#

Where Blades and such were discussed and supporrted the statement around PDS.

tired pilot
#

yeah slide the sources

#

if they made AI blades have aimbot the game wouldn't work properly, they will be nerfed into the ground for player ships

fallen oar
#

Depends, Because PDS is only meant to missiles and torps

tired pilot
#

probably having long target registration times, boot up sequences and short engagement distances

fallen oar
#

so again, normal Logic for BASIC turrets does not apply to PDS

tired pilot
#

the Polaris, eclipse, retaliator, gladiator, harbinger are all obsolete if they made blades good

fallen oar
#

Its like saying, Homing rockets follow targets, and that means Bullets should also chase targets, No they have different purposes and have different restrictions

tired pilot
#

and cuz Polaris is a fan fav for some reason I doubt they would do that

fallen oar
tired pilot
#

don't expect blades to be the answer tho

fallen oar
#

The Polaris Needs a counterbalance

tired pilot
#

guarantee they will be lackluster

fallen oar
#

PDS IS that counter balance

#

It is not, again as I stated the PDS was disabled to allow players to kill the ingame idris, same with health lowering and removal of its armor.

#

When they game is done, the game will be unrecognizable and the ship combat completely different, fighters will be anti bombers, while ships with PDS screen and protect fleets from Missiles and torps

slim gulch
fallen oar
#

It isn

tired pilot
#

they won't just hit 100% of the time

#

there will be spread

#

they will miss

#

torps will get through

#

your arcs of fire might be shit

fallen oar
#

isn't a "hard" stop as It can be just absolutely filled with torps and cant stop them all

tired pilot
#

like on the Perseus

fallen oar
#

But again, 1 damage point for a Torp

#

The torp uses gatlings with a natural spread,

#

It will absolutely destroy most of the torps and missiles

#

Which ive said since the beginning, which is why you have MULTIPLE ships with PDS

#

Yall are just goal shifting now.

tired pilot
#

your AI blade might have a 200m engagement distance with a long target registration time, and by that point it only has a second or two to fire and you get hit and then rip

#

if they just made PDTs super great

fallen oar
#

PDS, again.

tired pilot
#

it wouldn't go in line with their Player > NPC > blade

fallen oar
#

Different weapon system bud

#

Stop using PDT's when im argung PDS

#

Arguing

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

Point Defense Turret

#

Turret = Manning

#

=Blade if wnated

#

wanted

tired pilot
#

a turret is a system

fallen oar
#

PDS = Point Defense System, Automated,

tired pilot
#

they are all turrets that can be manned

fallen oar
#

Negative, Point Defense Turrets are the same as what battleships used back then when a man hopped on the mounted gun

tired pilot
#

whether the turret is automated or not doesn't stop it from being a turret

fallen oar
#

the PDS Was the CWS added, an automated system That COULD be controlled manually

#

You dont know shit about weapon systems on naval vessels, and it shows.

#

PDS and PDT are fundamentally different with the same goal.

tired pilot
#

bro we are not on HMS victoria

#

this is a space game

fallen oar
#

PDT was the earliest version of the PDS acronym, while dealing with manned positions that couldn't be automated naturally, PDS was automatted naturally and could be manned.

#

space game that has used PDS and PDT differently for a reason.,

#

There is a reason they refer to some parts as PDT

tired pilot
#

it hasn't though

fallen oar
#

Others as PDS

tired pilot
#

they refer to PDTs and PDS as the same thing

fallen oar
#

So why name some parts PDS and others PDT? Exhibit A what i sent above

tired pilot
#
  1. because cig are inconsistent

  2. they mean the same thing as PDT

#

I guarantee they will label the same turrets as PDTs somewhere else

#

like in the Idris brochure if it has one

fallen oar
#

If they mean the same thing as PDT, Then congrats those ships with PDT will have an automated system that can be manned.

#

But as it stands, PDS and PDT are not the same thing unless they change their minds.

tired pilot
#

ALL bladed remote turrets can be manned

#

there's not a single ship where it isn't the case

#

Perseus has PDTs that can be manned or bladed

#

clearly it's the same thing as PDS

tired pilot
#

because manned is better

fallen oar
#

Not at all, again. PDS does not have to be manned, Manned CAN be better if it is for multi purpose.

#

But for anti missile and torp

#

Not at all.

tired pilot
#

if you could put auto blades on every turret that would be very strong, negate the need for multicrew and make every ship soloable. which is against CIGs aims

#

they would never make blades or ai crew too good

#

as it would kill their vision of no solo crews

fallen oar
#

Again, the PDS

#

Does not use the same system

#

as other turrets

#

that is why PDS, is seperated for a reason, different purpose and role.

tired pilot
#

you just said here if a PDT can be automated and manned it's a PDT not a PDS

#

all remote turrets can be bladed or manned

fallen oar
#

I said based off YOUR logic

#

That PDT and PDS are the same,

#

You said they arem

tired pilot
#

there is no such thing as a PDS Vs PDT in this game

fallen oar
#

SO I stated theoretically IF they are the same

#

Then it means both

tired pilot
#

go and ask around

#

nobody calls them PDS

fallen oar
#

But I do not believe they are,

tired pilot
#

because they don't exist

fallen oar
#

LOL They are legit called PDS

#

I sent,

#

a pic above

#

showing CIG

#

calling it PDS

#

The star Citizen Wiki, called it PDS, Multiple other sites following ship schematics

#

Called it PDS

#

you are delulu

tired pilot
#

PDT is the same thing as PDS in this game which is why everyone uses PDT instead of PDS, notice you are the only one calling it PDS

fallen oar
#

"Compared to the Idris-P, Idris-K has an additional size 10 laser beam, four point defense turrets that replaced the remote turrets, and a missile turret that replaced a manned turret.[1] Both Idris-P and Idris-M can be converted to this variant using the aftermarket kit."

this is a pointless arugment

nothing is happening

You rightm

#

yall have been. on this

#

for like

#

an hour

fallen oar
#

Im done arguin with a man who cant read PDS in the description and title XD

slim gulch
fallen oar
#

Point Defense System.

#

Point Defense Turret is PDT

tired pilot
#

A TURRET IS A SYSTEM

#

it's the same thing

#

the same system

#

the same ship computer

slim gulch
tired pilot
#

the same AI Blade

tired pilot
#

your suit has a life support system but it's just 1 suit for 1 person

fallen oar
#

Turret and system in the point defence case are different,

#

Just as Cyber Security and other occupations use the word system differently

tired pilot
#

if they aren't turrets then what are they

#

because all of them can be manned

#

or automated

#

so what makes them not a turret

fallen oar
#

System for point defence states it is a multi layered weapon that utilizes AI to adjust targetting and firing the main weapon, while turret is manned. THOUGH it does NOT state that a turret can not be automated through an external upgrade OR a PDS cant be manned manually through the system if needed.

#

Bro you are dense, third time explaining it.

tired pilot
#

sounds like this system is the same thing as a turret

#

it revolves and shoots a gun

#

manned or unmanned

slim gulch
tired pilot
slim gulch
fallen oar
#

You ignore the basics of "Automatted" but im done arguin with ya bud,

tired pilot
#

it's an automated turret

fallen oar
#

Thats why PDS is a system, it is inherently automatted, it does not need manning

tired pilot
slim gulch
tired pilot
slim gulch
fallen oar
#

PDT's need a man, PDT's can not operate with manual control

#

Unless a blade is put in,

tired pilot
#

do you mean without manual control

fallen oar
#

@slim gulch and I disagree with that, because if so they wouldn't call each individual turret here a PDS if that was the case.

#

Yes, without manual control a PDT can not operate Unless a blade is installed, does not come with it factory,

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

a PDS, is automatted and can be Manually controlled if desired.

tired pilot
#

oh maybe they won't have it stock idk

#

I'll have to check

fallen oar
#

If its factory installed, and Comes naturally with the system its a PDS. That is why the pic above says PDS for the idris point defense system turrets

tired pilot
#

either way the Perseus has PDTs

slim gulch
tired pilot
#

yeah definetly remote turrets

slim gulch
tired pilot
#

rsi website is full of bs from 2013 unthought about

slim gulch
fallen oar
#

LOL bro the K upgrade is recent,

fallen oar
#

That is on the K upgrade,

#

For the idris

#

so thats recent and new.,

tired pilot
#

K upgrade.. recent?

fallen oar
#

Most recently updated

#

" The Idris-K was introduced as the Aegis Idris P after market kit in Anniversary 2018 sale."

tired pilot
#

that is like 6 years ago

#

atleast 5 years ago pushing on 6

fallen oar
#

None the less more recent then 2013 Bs.

tired pilot
#

they change their minds about everything all the time

#

could still be mislabeled

#

too

#

some brand new intern let on the website again

#

😭

fallen oar
#

If thats your only argument

#

is mislabled. then its stupid to argue with ignorance.

tired pilot
#

find a source where they explain how a PDS works

#

or why it's called a PDS in their game

#

they've always called them remote turrets

#

and then said they can be bladed

#

as seen in the Percy q&a

fallen oar
#

Ill give you this, PDT and PDS are the same thing, But what I stated stands as that it is better at handling missiles and torps better then people. they stated this

" Point Defense Turrets are simply AI controlled turrets with the computer and blades necessary, and with a specific weapon loadout intended to make them effective at neutralizing incoming fast threats like missiles or torpedoes. Any turret can be equipped with these particular weapons and computer blades. PDTs just come ready to go out of the box. "

#

thats based off what they said that they are the same in this definition.

#

But none the less, states the "PDT" is better at handling missiles and torps

orchid shadow
#

that was a long argument about pngs

#

one thing i want to note is solo idris beats solo polaris and solo jav

#

the idris can fly and shoot at the same time 💀

tired pilot
tired pilot
tired pilot
#

either way if you're soloing a cap you deserve to be destroyed 💀💀

fallen oar
#

"built to be effective at neutralizing fast threats"

#

effective

#

=

#

Better

#

Polaris needs a torp operator

#

Cant shoot with the pilot alone sadly

tired pilot
#

"any turret can be equipped with these particular weapons and computer blades PDTs just come ready to go out of the box"

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

Any turret can be equipped with it yes, Which means if those turrets are then they also become better at dealing with those systems,

#

Which does not deter the fact that it is built specifically and better at dealing with torps,

#

Automated and not, automated preferred.

tired pilot
#

I don't think automated will be that great compared to players

#

especially with how you want to use it

#

humans will know which targets to prioritise, unlike the blade AI

fallen oar
#

The ONLY instance of that, would be missile swarm.

tired pilot
#

you'll be able to decide based on the situation whether to target the torp coming for you, your javelin

#

or target the missile firing ship such as the eclipse

fallen oar
#

Other then that the PDS would easily swat missiles and torps out of the sky

tired pilot
#

same reason they haven't made robocops yet

#

humans have better judgement

fallen oar
#

The PDT shouldn't target the eclipse, only the torp

#

As it states, torps and missiles.

#

I also posted a video,

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

Of the PDS/PDT in operation

#

It stopped targetting ships

tired pilot
fallen oar
#

and targetted the torp immediately

tired pilot
#

otherwise they'd just shoot down missiles your teammates fire

fallen oar
#

Which is a fair guess @tired pilot If it only targets stuff locked onto you

#

then player controlled would be needed for fleet defense, not for personal defense

#

BUT if this can be applied to any ship

tired pilot
#

and if they only shoot stuff coming to you, the Percy and Idris won't be able to defend a javelin from torps with their PDTs if they're not aimed at them

fallen oar
#

Ima outfit all the javelin size 3 weapons to it.

fallen oar
#

And have nothin but size 3 PDS all over it

tired pilot
#

like I'm saying that PDT automated are not the answer

player > NPC > blade

fallen oar
#

But in the end, the PDS is more effective at dealing with torps and missiles then a person. A person would be better for all round purposes.

tired pilot
#

unless your player is a shit gamer with bad aim then use PDT

#

blade

fallen oar
#

negative, PDT auto targets missiles and torps,

#

Player would have to shift through manually

#

and find the torp if he is distracted

#

the AI is not distracted and has targetting parameters and knows what to target first

#

I stated a Player would be better at something outside the norm, IE Fleet defense

#

but normal missile and torp spam defense, the automated wins, especially when fighters are involved.

tired pilot
#

hopefully those turrets don't shoot your teammates

#

when there's no torps targeting you

fallen oar
#

It for the most part targets those who attacked you, so unless your teammates dont have trigger discipline,

#

you are fine

tired pilot
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they even tried to take on larger ships and just wasted ammo 😭

#

AI moment

fallen oar
#

Maybe, but im pretty certain it would only target torps or smaller fighters as shown in the idris PDS video

#

prioritizing torps over all

tired pilot
#

it might come with the ship computer and management updates that allow you to set security clearance etc.

#

you can set your blades to target certain priorities

#

or maybe even targeting parameters

#

might be able to set it to attack everything within a certain distance

#

or just things shooting you

#

or torps coming at you

#

who knows
