Indestructible, blast resistant, Stainless Steel, Meant to last for 50 years, lighter weight than a folding chair.
... 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
carryer for combat
ships parked inside
then im happy with my fleet
Perhaps they will sell a Pegasus?
Is it actually? I thought it was limited too only 100 and they were fast approaching running out?
and you call yourself whale... god i hate people
K is offered with LTI 24/7 infinite stock once you buy idris p
it even has a warbond deal during ILW
other way around i think
warbond 24/7
and store credit is only in may and november on sale
So yes it is industrial, But it is the closest thing we have to a poor mans carrier.
I mean, they showed a bunch of different versions of the bengal chassie in the sqd 42 vid
exactly
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
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
i think the scaled down bangal is still bigger then jav
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
but since they said already, javelin is the biggest ship what a player can buy
prob similar size
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
CIG cant make their minds up tho so i wouldnt be shocked if they made something larger then jav buyable
i would think about it
i would yeet the kraken
it would def be something cool to have but not being able to land on planets is a turn off for me
đ
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
??
Really?!?
May I have a source on this?
to clarify
I mean from my understanding and research is they stated we will be able to take control of space stations
they did not say pioneer could make space stations
Not build em
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
Huh that would be interesting
Maybe Pioneer is required to assist in repairing a bengal?
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
I was only told about ground bases and heard that players would not be able to build or control space stations.
Would it also be able to build small space ships?
previously they said no to space stations however it seems that now since they are actually working on base building they are trying to figure out what building should be classified as XL and what to let pioneer make to make is stand out
i doubt it would be able to build ships
this is where they hinted at it possibly being able to build space stations at citizencon
since theres not really anything else to build in space other than space stations
Ooh! Very nice!
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
Ngl, I want the titan to comeout.. I want mechs XD
This. Probably for the larger structures.
What ccu should I get to C2
Glaive
Endeavor
Crucible
I want a bagel carrier
whichever you get the cheapest
You guys think we'll get any perks for Sq42?

There is no reason not to buy
My main qualm is that even though Iâm a whale, $1,300 is still a lot for a ship which doesnât even come fully armed.
If you buy a idris, at this point those 300 for a k kit wont mather anymore
Anf you want the K kiz
Well if you can afford $1,300 on a .png I donât think youâre hurting for $300âŠ. Plus would you rather them not sell it and only sell the P and force people to spend a minimum of $15,000 to guarantee an Idris M?
i mean, by the time you hit 15k, ,that pack there gets you like everything almaost, so then its no point having theP anyway, im working on reaching 8k so i can sell most of my ships and buy that pack to get the Idris P in a pack and just change some of the ships i dont want lol
Aegs comp pack?
No, the Dominus pack
if you take that in store creds, its only 6,400$, that aint too bad
Comp pack is like 8.5 k i think
On WB
And yiu have a jav in aswell
yes thats true
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
Idris P would work fine
Good plan
IMO
currently got the Tycoon pack which i upgraded to more of my liking,, the Polaris is just because i like the looks of it,, also gonna use it as a medium cargo runner when pyro comes as then i will be able to defend myself aswell without a massive fighter escort
Nice
I got the Aegis Comp Pack, Convoy Pack, and several other one offs
But I already have the Convoy Pack heavily modified
Nice
I only have explo and vip vehicle
I just have a PTV
how did you get a hull a in there wasnt it a hull C
the HUll C i swapped for the Arrastra i belive, and the HUll A i got ffor swapping the car thingy
URSA Rover
Ahh yes thats the one
i didnt pay attention,, i looked at it, saw it was a ground vehicle,, instantly changed it xD
Understandably pledging for a ground vehicle in a space game âŠ
Honestly,, i just dont like ground vehicles in this game, they feeel,,,, weird,,, the tanks are like driving on ice and terrible arcadey, the vehicles act mental,,, i love the game,, but i rather walk than drive any of them lmao
also you can just get in a ship and do the same stuff a land vehicle does... faster
exactly, if the ground vehicle actually gets nice to drive,,, then yes, i'll gladly buy them, but til then? eh,,,, i have no reason too,, maybe when the Apollo comes, i'll have somethingin there so i can use to get to bunkers whenever muppets die in bunkers and need aid
Itâs the concept that matters!
Okaaaaay? So then you would be fine then with them selling an Idris K for $1,550
Itâs the fact that you have the OPTION to upgrade it
That is what upsets you
Yes. Something irrationally pisses me off about having to pay $1,300 for something not even fully functional. I know I shouldnât be but I am!
I prefer a Hammerhead over it. Itâs too big with too few weapons for my taste and it doesnât have secondary function.
Hammerhead doesnât have a hangar or a gun range
donât they currently shred Idrises? The Hammerhead is significantly smaller and is more compact while holding a lot of guns. The Idris isnât good for much but shooting at smaller ships and the Hammerhead can fill that roll but better. Yes, it doesnât have a Hangar but that is a minor inconvenience when jt costs half as much.
current is not when the idris comes out for us. There will be Armor and yeah your s4 on your hammerhead wont do dmg to a capital ship

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
since thats anti cap ship
And so is the Idris P right? It doesnât have many Anti Capital ship guns.
a hammerhead is not a capital ship

Subcap corvette
I know. But both Hammerhead and Idris P are meant to kill fighters. Right??
Idris p is a civilian variant what they do with that is up to them
It doesnât do very much. Itâs nice to have variety but it seems⊠like the framework for a ship.
i mean you still have s5 guns you gonna kill a perseus prob
Then⊠why not just buy a much smaller Perseus?
Itâs an allrounder, itâs got a hangar, sizeable cargo space, itâs not nearly as much a frontline brawler as the m but can hold its own
14x s5 + 8x s4 prob will still kill a lot of ships up to perseus size
I generally consider S5 worse than S4 because slower velocity. S6/S7 is where it starts to get good again.
You mean P? Also, while its hangar is nice, I donât think anybody is going to use this for cargo hauling.
Perseus is a dedicated gunship thatâs smaller than a hammerhead, you pick a Perseus over an Idris because you donât want a hangar or cargo space you only want to be doing combat
i know a few ^^
M is more of a frontline brawler than a p
And cargo space doesnât mean just hauling youâll be putting ship parts and equipment there too
But this means that the Idris P is mediocre at doing everything doesnât it?
there wont be a better ships for "save" cargo
Itâs almost like a jack of all trades is a master of none 
BMM. >_<
ist a shop
That is also very good at holding more cargo than similarly sized dedicated cargo ships.
similarly sized cargo ships
The hull c and hull d? What else is a similarly sized cargo ship? A kraken?
Ye
Hull C and Kraken, yes.
One is a mall, one is a dedicated transporter, and one is an allrounder
So why can the mall hold the most while being the smallest??
Wait, really??
Ah, oky. My bad.
thast the right list
What is it in the order of
combat
M, k, Polaris, p , Naut, hammerhead
Whyâs the Naut over the hammerhead?
Much more niche of a role
just look at the weapons of a naut
I mean itâs got s7 or s8 on the nose and mines, idk what else it got
Nooooo!!!!
Javelin > Polaris > Idris M > Idris K > Idris P > Perseus > Hammerhead > Nautilus.
your a delulu like always

I speak the truth and nothing but the truth. You just wait until I Polaris your Javs in the tail.
Launch torpedos and run away before they can.
The torpedos have a longer range as well.
I donât even have to get shot at.
Did⊠my video just upload? I posted that at least 10 minutes ago.
and fly slower then a aurora

and your really focuse on your shit torps
i gonna tell you now again
slowly
that your brain might understand it
A
POLARIS
Will
NEVER
EVER
X to doubt.
dude a s9 already flys slower then that
Bro got hit by a s9 once and now thinks torps are invincible
As if I would 1 v 1 a Javelin. Get in, drop torps, get out. Or on the opposite end of things, 4 Polaris (same price and crew as 1 Javelin) would definitely massacre a Javelin.
S5 from Prison but same thing. And they just never stop tracking either.
Then shoot it down, theyâre slow as fuck
s9 is already slower then a fucking javelin

i just gonna outrun your torps
and dont say nah i shot them from 1km range
your dead before you reach the 1km
Single crewed 400i at max boost with crew still getting to the turrets.
In atmo
Good luck getting up to speed.
Yup.
you think i will sit just around doing nothing in my javelin? ofc i fly around
The missiles are surely also slower??
Missile speed is same in atmo and space
S what torp?
Does the Polaris get special torp.
ffs no
why should it
then my javelin gets special s12 torps aswell
To be competent. How do current torps work?

like normal torps
Doesnât it??
bro you know nothing ffs geta outa here
I thought it gets special Cruise Missiles?
Javelin has shit load of guns TWIN s7 with TWIN s4 on top and 2x QUAD s9 with 32 S12 Torps
you are not gonna kill that
in a 1v1
even with 4 polaris
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
and when you try to get close to shoot with your turrets on my javelin
my s7/9 will already shoot you from miles away
and no dont tell nah i doge that with my speed
your still a 160m long target 
Will armor ricochets ever be in game?
what has that to do with that?
dude you still take dmg
Ballistics might ricochet off.
Not denying it. Just saying Polaris will be effective.

if you bring 5-10 maybe
torps are a joke
and that video is just fomo for polaris
Unless they hit.
nobody gonna watch the torps hit his ship
s12 hits you then
oho
how the turntables
(left javelin - right polaris)
also dont forgett ma shield

Armor
Also Javelin is a Destroyer
it just looks at your polaris and it will be dead
How much worse than C is L??
a lot
Jav shields bad. Plus, isnât Javelin weapon layout bad? Broadside guns? This isnât the 18th century any more. Polaris can focus its firepower forward.
Tbh i think the comparison in unfair. Two different class of ships and anyways none of them will go around alone so it's kinda pointless to judge an hypotetical 1v1
he thinks he win
Meh Kraken better đ„±
s4 shield


s3 shield
dude
i have 26 s4
player controlled
your torps aint gonna hit
Yall gotta stop arguin with Brist, we already know hes delulu and doesn't listen to logic LOL
Real or meme?
fax tho
ReAl Or MeMe?
Looks legit
r/StarCitizenRefunds couldnât figure it out and neither could I.
Explain to me a plausible way to own 6 javelins at once
As far as I know, you can own one from winning an f5 war, one from the 48k pack
7??
Buying 2 Javelins per year at each event??
Iâm talking about Bristâs picture. Mine was a shitpost
You can have javelins from:
May f5 war
Concept sale
November f5 war
52k pack
2 left, 5 right
Yes, im just talkin about the picture LOL
If yes you can have 7
Thereâs two glaring red flags on the legitimacy of that picture tho
Wich one?
- source was refunds subreddit
- anyone can use that tool and make a massive fucking fleet, it takes a hangar screenshot to prove
True
The pic with 7 javelins that calibrim posted
Each IAE and Invictus you can get one
So twice a year
You win F5 war
I thought it was account locked, you can only own one iae one
Yeah but only once
And one Invictus one
No
Itâs a âdifferentâ ship
Even if you get a jav last nov, you cant get one this nov
I couldnt get a pioneer, because i got one 3 years ago in nov
And yes buyback counts too
Hence why Iâm wondering if real or fake.
Iâd need to see a picture of the hangar to believe itâs true
It came from the refunds subreddit
I had 2 at point
Thatâs just a ragebait circlejerk
Still have them in my buyback
I have 2 aswell, i prob get a 3th
3th
Aegis comp pack 
3rd?
Thirth javelin for hith thtar thitithen fleet


crab not allowed to hire a jav from me
This guy gets it


Could downsize again a bit and put ships into the aegis comp pack
Itâs such a good looking ship but I canât warrant the price tag on the normal, let alone the liberator
Iâll try to win one or sumn
Off centered Bridge.
Ngl, Nautalis looks sexy
deploying turrets instead of mines,
could be super helpfuk
helpful
Like in support of a jav,
Would be devestating
I cant wait to find out what helpfuk is
Its help fuk, It is the assistance of fuk u
wow i thought it was gonna be funny

KEK ME KEK YOU NONF8COWNER

imagine getting mad
for getting keked at

lmao imagine being in the KEK hall of fame for that exact thing
Top and bottom or just 1 that moves between.
I place them around my space station
2, 1 top 1 bottom with 4 s9 cannons
And they can move inside the ship in the back on rails like scorpius if not needed to protect them
But how am I supposed to torp your main battery?
And if i need more dudes or ships i can deploy a redeemer out of the jav hangat
Never since the torps wont reach me with like 200m/s when i fly more then 200m/s and have 26 s4 guns to shoot at them close and 26 s7 guns to shot on them from range
Give up and accept that a 160m long scout ship wont win against a 400m long main destroyer of a whole fuvking race
S7 and S4 guns arenât going to be very capable.
Sigh.
Fine. The Polaris may not beat a Javelin but it still beats everything else.
On a bigger target then a aurora ? What flys as slow as a reclaimer in atmo ?
oh i think they will be very effective
S10 are huge
Against a Torpedo.
Give torpedos shields!
Perfect you accepted facts. Now we just need to let you accept it that it wont solo a idris too.
Polaris is better tho with less people
Yes it will and I cannot be convinced otherwise! You are delulu if you think it cant!
Dont forgett idris is way faster/better against smaller stuff (your torps)
And hase way more point defense
Then the jav
And its main weapon (s10) has a higher range then the s9 of the kav
The sad truth is, hes not
And i love to talk about big ships
So win win xd
Faster than Polaris or Faster than the Torps?
Both
Faster then torps 100%
Not faster then polaris but wont have issue tracking you with s10 if your not close (what you wont survive)
S10 what Railgun?
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
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
Yep
Large ships were originally planned to be the fastest.
Not enough cargo, too much crew.
But way more armor and protection then normal cargo ships
P is used for high value item transport
Itâs so big and doesnât hold very many items for its crew count. What would be high value but small enough to warrant an Idris P?
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
And its able to defend itself! đ 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 đ
cant wait to replace the hangar of my javelin with a giant capital qt dampener with emp

i mean, ill take a wild guess and say that the idris is more agile,, so it can simply flip a 180, fly right past, by the time the Javelin has turned around the Idris could potentially have escaped
If it flies passed don't forget about the giant javelin size 9 or larger quad turrets
Top and bottom
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?
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 â€ïž
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 =))
a fury wont do dmg on a javelin ^^
@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
Javelin QT Dampening module when?
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
Let me specify
Deter bombers
Fighters ON their own with normal weapons can not scratch the jav and idris
I just need to pass it, thats all, i wasnt planning on standing over it
Now lets equip the perseus's with flak rounds and they can easily take care of fighters
not deter, more like redirect. bombers will be too busy tryna kill the other ships to focus just one
@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
rounds and turret turning speeds will be slow, this is only if they can actually get one in their cross hair
As said, there is endless options, thats what im trying to get at, if an Idris faces an Javelin,,, it doesnt nesseserly mena it'll die, it can escape, get away, maybe it has cover, maybe the pilot and gunners of the Javelin is incompetant and fails their tasks and lose agains tthe Idris, you never really know, thats what im trying to get at
that fighter going 200m/s will out speed a size 7 turret trying to turn on it
@native crag you are right, just simply stating the reality behind going over it.
the Percy's PDTs are in godawful positions for defending another ship. I don't even think the Idris has that many PDTs either
@tired pilot It can yes, but again the fighter wont be able to scratch the larger ships
eclipse will also be moving that fast
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.
im aware,,, for all you know, what if this fight happens in an asteroid field? or if the Idris run into an asteroid field isntead of flying over? i doubt a Javelin can keep up with an Idris in an asteroid field, its just too sluggish to blast through it
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.
Full rear shields^
Again, Did I say it would destroy it,
No i said exposed.
You are jumping before even told to jump
there's one at the back, it can't see anything except what is below or in front of it. the entire under belly is exposed
the top turret can't see anything below the bridge either because the bridge is in its way
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
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
s7 and s4 not 3
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
same with fighter screens and hammerheads, they will be too absorbed with dogfighting or killing fighters to help a javs PDTs defend against torps
i mean it can shoot infront aswell
cannon is blue, PDT on engines is red
yeah... that won't be much help to another ship, barely helps the Percy itself
it protects the engines but that's it
on the left and right it's blocked by engines
and bottom from missles
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
I mean the top one can't see down below the bridge
Okay so the bottom one IS bad placement,
yeah
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
Hopefully that changes XD or you can attach a PDS blade to the size 3's
yea they will still get through
what are we talking about?
your Perseus and Idris will have to focus on keeping themselves alive. not the javelin
pers?
so your PDTs on those ships will be shooting torps and fighters coming for them
true, most of ships will run when they see me jumping in like that
@tired pilot You understand PDS is automated
you can't trust another ship to protect you from torps when they are tryna protect themselves
it could be if you wanted it do be. but it wouldn't be as good as if a player or NPC did it
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
cig have said they want it to be Player > NPC > blades
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
PDT is the turret not the blade
blades do many things
The PDS Is BUILT around a blade.
PDTs can be controlled by blades
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
if they were already automated, why don't they work?
you have to install a blade which isn't in game yet
They were turned off on the idris,
Perseus is going to come with blades pre installed as per their Q&A but the Idris might not have them stock
As I stated
the Idris has PDS, but its turned off because no missile or torp could kit it
why aren't they on for player ships?
this is the reason they will be nerfing PDTs
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
PDTs won't be coming to players the same way they work on the Idris
players > NPCs > blades
Perseus, Idris are BOTH have build in PDS
Again,
You are talking about normal turrets
Not PDS
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up making blades have a 300m engagement distance or something stupid
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.
Hercules has PDTs, they don't work
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
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
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
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.
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
Depends, Because PDS is only meant to missiles and torps
probably having long target registration times, boot up sequences and short engagement distances
so again, normal Logic for BASIC turrets does not apply to PDS
the Polaris, eclipse, retaliator, gladiator, harbinger are all obsolete if they made blades good
Its like saying, Homing rockets follow targets, and that means Bullets should also chase targets, No they have different purposes and have different restrictions
and cuz Polaris is a fan fav for some reason I doubt they would do that
don't expect blades to be the answer tho
The Polaris Needs a counterbalance
guarantee they will be lackluster
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
Yes, but it isnât a hard stop for all torpedos and guided missiles like it is made out to be.
It isn
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
isn't a "hard" stop as It can be just absolutely filled with torps and cant stop them all
like on the Perseus
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.
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
PDS, again.
it wouldn't go in line with their Player > NPC > blade
how is PDT not the same as PDS
a turret is a system
PDS = Point Defense System, Automated,
so by this logic the Perseus has no PDS
they are all turrets that can be manned
Negative, Point Defense Turrets are the same as what battleships used back then when a man hopped on the mounted gun
whether the turret is automated or not doesn't stop it from being a turret
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.
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
it hasn't though
Others as PDS
they refer to PDTs and PDS as the same thing
So why name some parts PDS and others PDT? Exhibit A what i sent above
-
because cig are inconsistent
-
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
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.
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
and they can be manned for a reason
because manned is better
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.
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/kkux5k/idris_destroying_a_s9_torpedo/ perfect example of the PDS system
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
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.
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
there is no such thing as a PDS Vs PDT in this game
But I do not believe they are,
because they don't exist
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
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
yeah where though
"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."
.
You rightm
Im done arguin with a man who cant read PDS in the description and title XD
PDTs. What does PDS stand for?
A system is comprised of multiple turrets.
the same AI Blade
why is it called life support system if it's just 1 thing
your suit has a life support system but it's just 1 suit for 1 person
Turret and system in the point defence case are different,
Just as Cyber Security and other occupations use the word system differently
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
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.
sounds like this system is the same thing as a turret
it revolves and shoots a gun
manned or unmanned
Because there are multiple elements to the system. Vents, air refreshenators, oxygen pumps, etc.
there's multiple elements to a turret, triggers, wires, ammo, barrels etc.
They are a turret because they are guns that swivel on a mount. Manned or unmanned turrets are both turrets.
You ignore the basics of "Automatted" but im done arguin with ya bud,
it's an automated turret
Thats why PDS is a system, it is inherently automatted, it does not need manning
so this PDS is the same as a PDT
But a PDS is comprised of a system of turrets.
neither do the PDTs in this game
No. A PDS is comprised of multiple PDTs.
PDT's need a man, PDT's can not operate with manual control
Unless a blade is put in,
do you mean without manual control
@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,
then why does nobody refer to PDT plural as PDS
a PDS, is automatted and can be Manually controlled if desired.
but on the Perseus they are all PDTs factory installed with blades, they say that in the Q&A does that make it a PDT or a PDS, or does it make it the same thing?
oh maybe they won't have it stock idk
I'll have to check
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
either way the Perseus has PDTs
Either they are mislabled or you are receiving 4 separate point defense systems.
yeah definetly remote turrets
Thatâs exactly what they do.
I'm gonna say mislabeled lol
rsi website is full of bs from 2013 unthought about
Yes.
LOL bro the K upgrade is recent,
Right??
K upgrade.. recent?
Most recently updated
" The Idris-K was introduced as the Aegis Idris P after market kit in Anniversary 2018 sale."
None the less more recent then 2013 Bs.
they change their minds about everything all the time
could still be mislabeled
too
some brand new intern let on the website again
đ
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
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
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 đ
it states that they're ready out of the box, nothing about being better. you could fit any turret out with the same things from what it says in the last section
it's for the message count
can Polaris pilot use torps?? or does it need operator
either way if you're soloing a cap you deserve to be destroyed đđ
"built to be effective at neutralizing fast threats"
effective
=
Better
Polaris needs a torp operator
Cant shoot with the pilot alone sadly
"any turret can be equipped with these particular weapons and computer blades PDTs just come ready to go out of the box"
đ
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.
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
The ONLY instance of that, would be missile swarm.
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
Other then that the PDS would easily swat missiles and torps out of the sky
The PDT shouldn't target the eclipse, only the torp
As it states, torps and missiles.
I also posted a video,
if it's a player using it then you could, which is why it would be better for that
idk about that, they might only target missiles/torps locked onto your ship
and targetted the torp immediately
otherwise they'd just shoot down missiles your teammates fire
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
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
Ima outfit all the javelin size 3 weapons to it.
yes
And have nothin but size 3 PDS all over it
like I'm saying that PDT automated are not the answer
player > NPC > blade
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.
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.
hopefully those turrets don't shoot your teammates
when there's no torps targeting you
It for the most part targets those who attacked you, so unless your teammates dont have trigger discipline,
you are fine
I wouldn't be surprised if they even tried to take on larger ships and just wasted ammo đ
AI moment
Maybe, but im pretty certain it would only target torps or smaller fighters as shown in the idris PDS video
prioritizing torps over all
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
it has a torpedo operator
rip
@tired pilot If so I'd prefer that as it allows for more customization
I do sincerely hope this becomes like eve but more indepth ground and personnel wise.
I dislike EVE because some rando that is fused to his gaming chair can hit a button and everybody in a sector loses their ships.
Wut
TL;DR: Too much player control over massive in game things.
That game has ships which can take out all shields in a sector? That's fucking wild
doesnt it have a death star
Take out? Ahaha⊠no. It destroys a space station while youâre offline which kills everybodies ships in that station. You night be thinking, well just pick a different home station, right? Wrong! No station is safe because every station is player controlled and destroyable.
Titans? Yes. It. Does. But unlike the Death star, they have no weakness and the only way to kill one is with another titan.
Can you bedlog in space? 
there do have high sec and low sec systems so its not like you are always in danger of being killed
i remember a while back they had to buff the npc security because a org had taken control of a high sec area and was killing everyone including the security
i thought atp
EVE high sec
is like
invulnerable
and spawns constantly if you dont die
lmao
oh yeah this was years ago
oh okay lmao

me in star citizen until a Bengal shows up
fuck it next pay check I'm gonna put it in a savings account for liberator CCU
chain
that way I won't touch it
and I can finally get the last ship I want
woohoo
that's until they release something else cool and I want it 
or I'll inevitably want an Idris
There will be never an end
Trust me
When i started i was like 5 ships and polaris will be my last....
Oh boy

Im thinking about putting stuff into a aegis comp pack just for a 3th jav and 2nd idris 
My mind is going creazy in the last days
wtf đ
Why you crying 
why do you need 3 Javs and 2 Idris đđ
talk about spending addiction

Just look at it
Now you should understand
God i want a jav so bad but will likely never use it as my teams not that big :/ but damn its a sexy ass ship
yeah I'd never use one either
You can always join mine ^^
Same for you
I'd rather not be stuck in the engine room or a turret of a javelin thanks

You can be stuck in the mess hall 
And play some games
You can do that 
đđ
I want star citizen cooking to be like cooking simulator
that would be fun and entertaining
You gonna flip some burger while we mass murder people with 60 guns 

the oven exploded and I can't tell if we just got hit by an armour piercing round or I left the fire extinguisher too close to the oven

if it's like cooking simulator physics I'll be responsible for all the ship fires
When we arive over a planet you need to fly down with the mpuv to get some more stuff to cook
