Perseus Pals

[sand hound]

distance between those barrelts is too much

did they add another turret infront of the top main

[crystal sleet]

doesnt look so, that liiks about right with the concept

[cursive drum]

Polaris.
No refueling in game yet.

[sand hound]

that gap is bigger than a vulture at that distance

[crystal sleet]

itd look like this then (left), the right looks about right with that descroption

[steel thistle]

they could’ve put a pdc there

that’s about it

[sand hound]

black lines are same length

I could be wrong but based on the concept art I dont see how the gap between the 2 barrels of the s7 is just as wide as the docking collar section

[crystal sleet]

heres an image that might be better for measuring

ok yeah i can see what you mean now

[sand hound]

it could be the angle

[crystal sleet]

i think its the perspective and the blurriness of the ISC clip

OOOHHH

Youre looking at the "tridents" by the Torpedo tubes

i think

[steel sparrow]

I’m going to touch Chris inappropriately if this is true.

[humble anvil]

Big gun is still in the bottom back of the ship

Maybe top gun got upscaled to s8? Lol

It's really weird how far apart the gun is esp at the distance we're seeing it at, but it looks like it lines up with everything we know so far

They may have changed the design of the turret

To allow for angles while shooting, because previously it could barely shoot up

We may know more today in the new ISC

[humble anvil]

Upscaled S8? Turret change?

[crystal sleet]

would be epic

[fluid plume]

What I wouldn’t give for upscaled Perseus corvette with battleship turret layout two turrets front one rear , rsi cruiser style, then slap a snub bay between engines galaxy style, then maybe a cargo elevator that can hold like 2 novas, would melt Polaris in heart beat

[crystal sleet]

im waiting for something like that too, itll be the next ship id be willing to drop new money on

[fluid plume]

Pls somehow make another picture with a third turret behind bridge between engines so that I can day dream about little pocket battleship

[crystal sleet]

someone else already made that lol

[fluid plume]

Uncontrollably cooms

Who ever made that should have raised the rear turret alittle bit more just so it’s more seeable of course wouldn’t make sense but yea

[errant ice]

Thats because of the lighting, we already have a very good looking 3d model of the kraken in game, check the hologram at cousin crows

[humble anvil]

Nothing in ISC

Damnit

@crystal sleet if you haven't saw, there's nothing in the new ISC

[humble anvil]

[errant warren]

PERSEUS

[broken elbow]

peeerrrrseuuus.

[crystal sleet]

Perseus...

[humble anvil]

sad perseus sounds

[crystal sleet]

Honestly i think its good theyre not showing the perseus everytime, the excitement would probably die out

Though a more clearer look would be pretty cool

And sneakpeeks

[steel sparrow]

It ain’t a sneak peek if it’s clear

[crystal sleet]

Clear peek then

[fluid plume]

Nah they’ll give a close up of a part of the ship that makes it hard to tell what type of ship it is from but deep down we’ll all know it’s Perseus

[steel sparrow]

Fortune be like

[steel sparrow]

I have a feeling its going to be a super close up view of its S7 barrel.

If one comes out......

[fluid plume]

It will be the lip of the turret that connects to the hull

[crystal sleet]

they just post this and we go apeshit

[errant warren]

is perseus getting up gunned

[crystal sleet]

the remote turrets, to s4

some people are saying theyre turned into quad s4

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/92000849236066304/1345029909692809256/Untitled_video_-_Made_with_Clipchamp_14.gif

[fluid plume]

Remote turrets to dual size 4 and 4 pdc which the pdc will definitely get nerfed no way they would allow that

[steel thistle]

no way

in hell

[sand hound]

i could see even if percy isnt done by ILW it will be added to show floor and in the cinematics so you can see the exterior and size on the show floors

like the polaris

[agile tinsel]

The s4 part is believable, I refuse to believe it’ll have 4 PDC’s after fine tuning

[humble anvil]

i think the turrets will either be AI Bladed with no PDC, or Remote with 4 PDC

if they're AI Bladed and with 4x PDC, then holy shit stonks

[agile tinsel]

Either way, both of those will make the ship much better, won’t be murdered by a single fighter lol

[humble anvil]

i think it will have PDC because its military ship

and shame on CIG for not adding PDC to the Hammerhead

think they will on gold pass

[agile tinsel]

The hammerhead is a flying PDC

[humble anvil]

yes

yes it is

[agile tinsel]

All those turrets are designed to shoot the most annoying things in the verse

[humble anvil]

yes

[steel sparrow]

no one: "you can't see a image with for pixel"
me: " Perseus?"

[humble anvil]

You guys excited for the Perseus to go up 75$ or more at ILW? :>)

[steel sparrow]

It's already locked for me soooo 🙂

[humble anvil]

this is the first ship i ever really played the WB game on, and prob only ship i do it with

[cursive drum]

Light Fighters?

[humble anvil]

Starter Ships? :>)

[cursive drum]

That too!

[agile tinsel]

the evil arrows

[cursive drum]

The enemy of Society.

[humble anvil]

gimme perseus please

[floral rapids]

Hopefully with Engineering, a ship ram won’t kill your ship but just disable components at worst

Once maelstrom is added, hopefully its even less of a problem

[steel sparrow]

the bane of existence of all large ships

[humble anvil]

I think engineering is right behind the bridge as well

Sec

[agile tinsel]

nothing more dangerous than someone who has nothing to lose

[agile tinsel]

if I recall, it's right under, yeah?

either way, 100m ship, not gonna be incredibly hard to get around

[humble anvil]

It's 2 rooms away

Like

It goes: Bridge, Elevator, Engineering

[agile tinsel]

that's what I like about RSI ships ngl

the layout is very smart

polaris, perseus, arrastra

all have pretty smart internals and weapon seat/chair placements, alongside engineering

[humble anvil]

Hm

The bottom turret seems easiest to get to

Besides remote for the s4'turrets from copilot

[agile tinsel]

it's also the worst placed turret on the ship though

we'll have to see the actual design (since the concept is 5 years old now), but that bottom turret can't really shoot straight

good for shooting things below it, but I doubt its effectiveness head on

[humble anvil]

Hope it has aoe

The main guns ()

[cursive drum]

Wait, what?

[fluid plume]

Pls don’t give it Polaris treatment, I like Perseus smooth paneling

[crystal sleet]

yeah i agree the bottom remote turret should swap places with one of the s1 PDCs, preferably infront of the "bulbous bow" of the Perseus

see where that bpxy part of the bow is? right infront of there

actually no, itd change the way the ship would look

[crystal sleet]

mmmmmhhh

i feel like the Perseus will keep her smooth appearance considering the concept is quite modern, unlike the Polaris which was more of a 2d render

[humble anvil]

In teaser the cannons remained where they were concepted so very long ago

🥵

[crystal sleet]

Perseus gonna be ending up the one ship where they added instead of removing stuff

[humble anvil]

Plsplsplspls

[humble anvil]

Beautiful

I can't wait to ram Polaris

I think we'll survive

[crystal sleet]

im gonna try to do a Rocinante and fire off some torps pointblank at the engine nacelles

[humble anvil]

IT'S AT THE FRONT TOO

It'll work

[crystal sleet]

She was destined

[humble anvil]

HOOHOOGLOO

PERSEUS

[cursive drum]

It’s already getting Polarised.

[humble anvil]

i think its possible that on release of the ship it will get shit on and cig will have to change some of the design. im watching a 1 year old video regarding the concept model and bro is shitting on the ship

limited fire arcs, lack of pdcs, undergunned, etc etc

this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcNVaWnEWRo

[humble anvil]

Another video by billionaire ninja calling for the upscale on persus's guns to better fullfill it's role as a sub capital fighter.

[agile tinsel]

tbf, from the speculation, 90% of those issues are going to be fixed

4 PDC and the s3 upgraded to s4 fixes the most glaring issues

[humble anvil]

that's hopeful, and yes it will

[agile tinsel]

having 2 PDC up top and 2 PDC below, plus the rear and top s4 (which will be automated most likely) will provide lots of defense

depends on how far CIG does though

[humble anvil]

Would be perfect

[agile tinsel]

cause PTU is subject to change

[humble anvil]

If Perseus is meant to be a defense ship, then it needs what the leaks said right

on top of it being slow

[sand hound]

the hammerhead doesnt really need pdc, it cant tank most missiles and the gunners can easily shoot down torps

[sand hound]

ehh, its a fighter screen but i wouldnt say its a pdc

[signal vortex]

i talked to this guy and he has some good points

[agile tinsel]

well yeah, it's more of a metaphor. But the hammerhead provides the same role a PDC does (when actually crewed). Murders figters if they get too close (my polaris knows all too well) and shoots down the 500 m/s torps being fired at you

[sand hound]

PDC's arent for murdering fighters

they are for shooting down torps/missiles

them beind able to shoot at fighers is just a bonus which may end up being taken away in the future

[humble anvil]

Had to do a thing for our Persy

[pine root]

I forgot to add the new ones D:

[humble anvil]

[steel thistle]

i’m telling y’all the arcs of fire on the defence turrets are BUNSSS😭🙏🏻

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/61894/thread/perseus-pdt-locations

[humble anvil]

Yes, it NEEDS some redesign

[humble anvil]

Persy for 4.1

[cursive drum]

It’s current design with the added PDCs and (Quad?) S4s is fine but the firing arcs are bad. It’s also priced too high. People are expecting something huge because it’s priced so high when it’s really just a Redeemer XL.

[reef wind]

It's a boat and I'll toot the horn as I please!

[humble anvil]

will read that fully soon. exploring a polaris in a minute

[steel sparrow]

S4 possible. Quad? nu-uh

[cursive drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75a5NiACoWA&ab_channel=LAWoftheWESTGaming&t=25s

[steel sparrow]

I remember the leak list only said 2 size 4 and 4 pdcs though?

Dunno where he got that info from...

[humble anvil]

4.1 evo will have Perseus i bet

maybe not at first

but hopefully it will get datamined

[steel sparrow]

when?

[humble anvil]

Perseus Interior is the length of 1 and half Zeus interiors

Perseus Bridge to Elevator looks to be same as connie's

infact. the interior of the Perseus is basically the interior of the Connie in terms of length.

honestly such a W ship, its going to be spectacular.

[steel sparrow]

so when

[humble anvil]

😭 Hopefully some time

[steel sparrow]

the closer the release date, the further it seems

[humble anvil]

they said 4.1 evo is building for thursday?

We are looking to start the 4.1 PTU phases in the next couple days with Evocati and will have more info on this when we are closer

its prep for ILW

guaranteed

they need to balance the Ironclad, Perseus, etc into the PU

beautiful

[agile tinsel]

tbf, the perseus has 3 levels, so getting around won't be as easy

but I do really like how small it is for its firepower and armor

[humble anvil]

i mean

how fast i can get from bridge and out is important to me xdddd

[agile tinsel]

only thing the perseus is missing for me is a medbay on the 2nd floor lol

[humble anvil]

FRRRRRRRRRRRR

give it a smal medbay come on cig

[agile tinsel]

they could have fit like 2 beds on the second floor above the docking collar

because I doubt that will be gridspace

at least we can use the ursa as a fix for that

but it doesn't have the same meaning lol

[humble anvil]

imma bring something up rq

hang on

its a military ship

why isnt there

XD

[agile tinsel]

[humble anvil]

dude holy fk the bridge is right there

lmaoooooooooooo

its legit. 1 fucking door

[agile tinsel]

engineering is right behind too

although, I think that'll change a little

I don't think they can fit everything lol

[humble anvil]

torpedo room?

ye

[agile tinsel]

I'm surprised they gave the thing 20 s5's

[humble anvil]

the mess hall. fucking delete that shiiiit

ommmm

[agile tinsel]

very compact

[humble anvil]

enough room for a pool table apparently

i could see em like they did to the Zeus, putting double bunks, and condensing the living quarters

sliding in a single t3 medbay

or expanding from cargo bay a little medbay

[agile tinsel]

they did say it might grow a little bit, but that could just be a few meters

or none at all

[humble anvil]

they already said it grew, not polaris size but ye

The Perseus is the next RSI capital ship in production (instead of the Galaxy) purely down to the greater percentage of shared assets with Polaris.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/galaxy-clarification/7328459

thats not about its growth

[steel thistle]

😝

[humble anvil]

IDK where tf i saw the post about Perseus, or what i read. I cannot find it.

hm

so actually in the same thread

but not confirmed grow

[cursive drum]

It's not a capital ship.

[humble anvil]

yes they broad statement

they should have used 'sub capital'

[cursive drum]

No...??

[humble anvil]

yes !

If you will fill that area with Pico plushies, i'll vouch to keep it

[cursive drum]

Make the nose longer, add another turret and am magazine, and put the Medbay next to the ammunition magazine.

[humble anvil]

GIRL YOU SPEAK TRUTH

STRAIGHT FIRE

💯

[steel thistle]

does it really need a medbay

will it even get one?

highly unlikely

[humble anvil]

ye lol it prob aint getting one

"Sub capital is still where it'll be, it may grow a little but not to true capital size or role, it was just an easier way to group the three RSI ships talked about as a collective."

so basically the normal 'development' growth

i hate spectrum holy lordy lol

[agile tinsel]

ye, won't be much larger because the polaris was an outlier

any ship from 2020 and sooner is pretty well scaled

[humble anvil]

I stg if they move the elevator and force us to run acrossed the ship to get to the bridge

[agile tinsel]

please let the elevator be faster than the polaris elevator

I practically scream at the thing whenever I use the polaris

[humble anvil]

Just a friendly reminder for those persy pals late to the party. Evo 4.1 in a few days, maybe we'll get some datamine info

[cursive drum]

No but it would be good.

[crystal sleet]

I missed out on so much discussion wtf

Also damn 4.1 evo soon?

I still think they need to downscale the messhall, its the same size as the polaris messhall apparently

[agile tinsel]

true, it's weird how small everything else is, but the mess hall is the size of the entire habitation

hopefully we get some nice leaks with 4.1 evo

[crystal sleet]

Itll be so fire

[agile tinsel]

I'm hoping that they might show some more of the interior, at least some snapshots

and hopefully they haven't given the exterior the polaris treatment

[crystal sleet]

I just need to confirm the turret designs and overal shape of the perseus

[steel sparrow]

The original concept is clean asf

[crystal sleet]

💯

[cursive drum]

Kinda agree. It has a crew of what, 3? That's the same as the RSI Zeus while it's messhall could almost hold an entire RSI Zeus.

[crystal sleet]

max crew of 6

[cursive drum]

What do they all do.

[crystal sleet]

1 Pilot
2 Manned Turret Gunners
2 Remote Turret Operators
1 engineer

[cursive drum]

"Remote turret operators."

Blades.

[crystal sleet]

well yeah that is true, but theyre still remote turrets so theyll need some operators to work them. Consider those operators extra engineers when not operating

plus if manual reloads are a thing, the blades can take over while the operators are reloading the turret magazines

[cursive drum]

Blades.

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/razor-straight-razor-blades-blade-sharpness-gif-21794653

[steel sparrow]

Single seater pilot: “Nooooo you can’t get those turrets working because you don’t have enough crews!”
Perseus owner: “blades go brrrrt “

[crystal sleet]

i feel likethat istead of the guns being the main focus of balancing issues, the remote turrets will be constantly be tweaked

[reef wind]

Put a gremlin creature in the engineering bay by default. Lives in the vents and growls if you touch the fuses.

[humble anvil]

The guns are going to suck until armor is implemented

Every mom and it's ship has 50% reduction

The hopeful thing is it has enough Alpha that when it hits, IT HITS and immediately blows something up

If they balance for now, each turret should be a combined 10k Alpha

But considering Polaris bespoke cannons.... It'll be 7200 total turret

Hopefully s7 gets the ion treatment

[crystal sleet]

post release nerf ion or post rebuff ion

[humble anvil]

Ion s7 is special treatment. 100% increase over previous size. When the Norm is 50% .

[crystal sleet]

well considering both ion and perseus guns are bespoke, id assume itll be the same, if not slightly worse to keep the ions somewhat special

[humble anvil]

Maybe we'll get 8.4k burst dps each turret to better align with the inferno

Since they're 4.2

[humble anvil]

Hope so

[crystal sleet]

itd be a godsend (and sad for ion owners) if they just give the Perseus guns above 100% damage increase than what the ions got

[humble anvil]

I think I saw 1300m/s on the s6 cannons?

Yep

God damn we're cooked

[crystal sleet]

so the ion has 860m/s per shot, and the polaris gets what you said with the s6 cannons.

[humble anvil]

Ya

2400 alpha or 4800 total

[crystal sleet]

fuck

[humble anvil]

DPS 2k or 4k total (turret)

[crystal sleet]

god i hate numbers

hopefully maelstrom lets us play with imaginary numbers and floating values

[humble anvil]

So they either follow the ion in s7 tier and up by 100% over previous tier

Or they shit the bed and only 50%

[crystal sleet]

id say the Perseus guns will get between 1200-1400m/s

while damage gets upped by 100% or more

[humble anvil]

It needs 100% or I'm bitching

100% will put it in line with the inferno

[crystal sleet]

either way, we'll get 100% of something, 100% good, or 100% trash

[humble anvil]

They tuned Ares to how slow the turrets move on Perseus

(theory)

[crystal sleet]

i bet once the Perseus drops, the Ions and Infernos will be flown a lot more to combat Perseus's

[humble anvil]

Nope

[steel sparrow]

I hate when CIG uses "bespoke" weapons because they can just nerf or buff the weapon to their likings instead of following a set formula

[humble anvil]

Aurora

[humble anvil]

[steel sparrow]

( and it's most likely a nerf)

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/war-thunder-get-real-gif-21323382

[humble anvil]

No ion or inferno here Xero. We'll see hornets spinning around the ship

[crystal sleet]

All hornet owners complain that the antiair is too powerful

[humble anvil]

[steel sparrow]

I see S12 manual guided torp( Aurora)

[crystal sleet]

it will always end in a nerf to sell the next size up of weapons

[humble anvil]

What they gonna make? The Idris small?

[steel sparrow]

aren't the next size Idris' main railgun?

[steel sparrow]

Idris junior

[crystal sleet]

arent the railguns s10?

[humble anvil]

Something like that yea

[crystal sleet]

a mini Corvus cruiser with s8 cannons

[steel sparrow]

are size 8,9 weapon planned?

[crystal sleet]

no

well bhering does have s8 and s9

laser cannons

the idris railgun being the largest

on erkul atleast

[steel sparrow]

I thought the bengle has bigger guns

[crystal sleet]

they do, im going off by what is available on erkul

[steel sparrow]

I don't use erkul so dunno what's on there : P

[crystal sleet]

how have you been building your loadouts then

[steel sparrow]

What looks best with my paint

Is going up there

And I only own a Perseus and a F7A soooo

Only thing that matter is the quantum drive

[crystal sleet]

that is respectable

[cursive drum]

So... Ironclad assault?

[crystal sleet]

source?

[cursive drum]

Square.
Heavily armored.
Actually has better turrets being Quad S5 instead of Dual S5.

[crystal sleet]

Ironclad is only speculation rn, we dont know when itll be put into active dev. Some of us speculate late 2027

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-me-purposefully-spreading-misinformation-on-the-internet-teddy-bear-typing-misinformation-on-the-internet-gif-27679617

[humble anvil]

That thing is going to be awesome for what it is

Hammy head jr

[crystal sleet]

thats the paladin

[cursive drum]

I thought it was already in dev for Invictus…?

[cursive drum]

Hammerhead +.

[crystal sleet]

says who? CIG never said anything about the Ironclad, they still havent even shown us what it looks like

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-me-purposefully-spreading-misinformation-on-the-internet-teddy-bear-typing-misinformation-on-the-internet-gif-27679617

[cursive drum]

Said many people?

[crystal sleet]

just speculation then

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-me-purposefully-spreading-misinformation-on-the-internet-teddy-bear-typing-misinformation-on-the-internet-gif-27679617

[humble anvil]

4X size 5 on the front turret right

The paladin

But it's following the concept of the Valkyrie which is kind of booty cheeks

Honestly that thing is crazy for what it is

[crystal sleet]

so many gunships being released, what are they planning

[humble anvil]

Money

Hot take

Give the Perseus capital class armor make it slow as f***

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/space-battleship-yamato-gif-18978920

Battleship class Perseus

[humble anvil]

I hear the imperial March

[humble anvil]

I'm going to make a meme

South Park character with terrets with text "Perseus mentioned"

Awwwhhh that's fucked

[crystal sleet]

bhaplebhipb

[crystal sleet]

this is funny for a different reason and i cannot explain why lmao

[humble anvil]

It's the mocking

The anti Perseus meme

[quiet slate]

Well 90 is already slow it might not have capital but considering it's speed I'm assuming it has heavier armour than the usual heavy armoured ships

[humble anvil]

🙏

[fluid plume]

Well I mean javelin main gun was quad size 8 I think but then now we see dual barrel javelin which probably means dual size 9, but the quad turret under bengal is quad size 12

[pine root]

Quad size WHAT

[crystal sleet]

QUAD SIZE BEEG

[steel sparrow]

alot of boom

[humble anvil]

WEWWWW

That's a lot of pewpew

Imagine being a gunner for that thing

[crystal sleet]

the ship has a "magazine" of gunners to "reload" the turret seat because the recoil of the guns instantly kills the gunner eachtime they fire

[humble anvil]

LOOOOOL

Probably remote operated from the Co pilot etc seat on bridge

[crystal sleet]

then they send the signal to fire the guns from the terminal through the gunner, electrocuting them to death with each fire

[humble anvil]

Arrow WB today

[crystal sleet]

hmm, id fancy an arrow but i got too many fighters

[humble anvil]

What if they mention the Perseus in the upcoming ISC

Livestream Thursday

Probably not right. Lol

[crystal sleet]

fuck i hope, i knew they werent gonna mention the perseus last ISC

maybe this time

[humble anvil]

I think there's opportunity because I'm sure they'll mention the Phoenix

And RSI

And follow up with a teaser for the Perseus

[crystal sleet]

the connie phoenix?

[humble anvil]

Yea

March n St Patrick's day n all

More about supply and die

[crystal sleet]

ooooh, i hope we get some teasers for the interior, or a sneakpeek at the bridge looking out towards the turrets

[humble anvil]

Yeah

Yup

I think there's a big possibility

Would be really cool of them to presale a paint for it lol

[crystal sleet]

or they can just do another last ISC, putit in the backgound, but closer

[crystal sleet]

$64 saved for those paints

[humble anvil]

Hopefully tease interior

Next month talk about maybe some growths of it

And then May announce upgrades, PDCs, etc

The specifics

With ILW

[crystal sleet]

yeah, going indepth with any changes to the interior too

100% theyll show a Hammerhead getting blown up, then a Perseus flies through the flaming wreakage

[humble anvil]

Ommmm

Yeah they will. Like the Polaris

I feel tho. The truth will be them talking about the sneak peak of the week and mining, mission content

[crystal sleet]

i bet theyll also "false advertise" by showing the Perseus going up against an Idris or Javelin lol

[crystal sleet]

.

[humble anvil]

Hey buddy

You should get some sleep

[crystal sleet]

i should, its 12:30

gotta go into the city 6 in the morning

[humble anvil]

Gross

Unless for food

Then W

[crystal sleet]

for workplace skills and profession training (mostly workplace skills and knowledge)

gonna dream of Perseus tactics now,goodnight

[humble anvil]

Goodnight buddy

[steel sparrow]

Why would RSI be mentioned next ISC?

Am I missing something?

[agile tinsel]

Because RSI is their current focus

Although that might be changing due to the pioneer and ironclad

[floral rapids]

I wouldn’t expect the pioneer to show up for a hot minute, when base building itself isn’t being really shown at all

[agile tinsel]

Pioneer is massive though, we’ll see stuff about it long before it releases

[fluid plume]

Pioneer ain’t until next year

Base building current production timeline has it ending in October but cig is never right about anything especially when it comes to dates so base build Christmas gift or come back next year and we know base building is currently planned to ship before pioneer is ready

[agile tinsel]

it's in active production, it could easily release before base building as there is no other feature that it needs

[crystal sleet]

Pioneer can definitely be expected to launch late q3 into q4

[agile tinsel]

pretty sure the reclaimer was added WAY before salvage, yeah?

and the pioneer outside of base building is a glorified cargo ship

so wouldn't be surprised at all to see it early

[crystal sleet]

Pretty much yeah, but i think they wanna avoid the reclaimer scenario of releasing ships without their main functions being ready

[agile tinsel]

most likely yeah, but they also have people breathing down their necks to release old ship pledges, and the pioneer with base building could easily be 2 years away

they would have to give it the galaxy treatment of working on it and then jumping ship for a year to wait

[crystal sleet]

Well they can atleast work on small size building tech for the moment to give the pioneer SOME level of usability, thats what they did with the reclaimer too with just the salvage beams without the hull fracturing

[wooden trench]

Are those the just the zeus bedrooms with extra beds instead of a 4th wall. I've never noticed that before

[crystal sleet]

Seems like it yes, might even be some of those personal closets and bedshelf thing too if they wanna use that too

[humble anvil]

i hate doors

i was scammed

no arrow Wb

[steel thistle]

if they drop the percy

and make the game tolerable

ill deadass play this shit game

[fluid plume]

lol y’all are funny if you think pioneer is launching this year

[agile tinsel]

provide 1 reason other than the fact base building isn't in the game

the perseus and pioneer are the only large ships in active production other than the ironclad (which is almost done)

[fluid plume]

Cig is literally the worst when it comes to time management combined with the fact pioneer is bigger then Polaris has mechanics that are still barely in development, no assets to flip and you think it will take less time to develop then Polaris

[agile tinsel]

pioneer is larger, but most of it is empty space

[steel thistle]

they have no assets to reuse

drake has loads and rsi has some

[agile tinsel]

still, to say it won't be finished by the end of the year is a stretch
it's certainly possible

[crystal sleet]

Theres also the issue of how the ship will move construction material through the ship, unless if theyll just have the system magically teleport them around like the fortune

We might get a greybox at the end of the year i suppsoe

[cursive drum]

They are all 3 large. Perseus is the smallest of the 3 though isn’t it?

[agile tinsel]

they'll probably go with the lazy route, where things just teleport around

[cursive drum]

It will take *wayyy longer.

[agile tinsel]

yeah, ironclad is like 20m larger
then again, there's a whole lot more going on in the perseus than the ironclad

[crystal sleet]

Pretty much, smaller than the Hammerhead (before the growth)

[steel thistle]

i like and dislike the ironclad, same as starlancer tac

[cursive drum]

New mechanics. It will be 2026 or later.

[steel thistle]

i like the ironclad assault as a vehicle and cargo hauler and the repair bay is great

but i have a liberator that does ships vehicles and cargo at the same time

[crystal sleet]

I hope the gravlev crafter cart will be ingame though

[cursive drum]

Very true.

[steel thistle]

just doesnt repair ig

[cursive drum]

Similar size?

[crystal sleet]

Almost, like 5-10 meters shorter

[cursive drum]

Same.

[agile tinsel]

I doubt perseus will have switchable ammos on release anyways

[crystal sleet]

Nah, just AP i bet

[agile tinsel]

they would need to design some AOE shells

[crystal sleet]

Or APHE if they wanna get creative

[cursive drum]

All it’s turrets are on top. Much sadge.

[crystal sleet]

Mobile groundbase with antiair

[steel thistle]

i like the repair bay, interior turret in the cargo hold for defence, opening roof and front door and i think it has a detatching command module still

but i cant find a reason to own one if i have the liberator already

[agile tinsel]

assault has a repair bay?

[steel thistle]

yea

[agile tinsel]

refuse to believe that after the polaris show they'll properly get it working

[cursive drum]

It should. That’s its entire thing.

[agile tinsel]

they'll be like "oh, well you can do it by hand is what we mean"

[steel thistle]

as seen here

[cursive drum]

Ok but what about when it’s flying.

[steel thistle]

yeah no they changed their mind on the polaris

[agile tinsel]

cause the polaris has the refueling pumps and they're never gonna get those working

[agile tinsel]

after having modeled the stuff needed for it 😭

[cursive drum]

“By hand.”

[steel thistle]

it has 2 on bottom either side of the door tho right?

[cursive drum]

They had better!

[agile tinsel]

better get that multitool ready so you can rebuild an entire fighter

[cursive drum]

Does it? And what size if so?

[steel thistle]

nvm it has 2 remotes and a manned down there

[steel thistle]

i think they size 3

[cursive drum]

Oh, huh. Not actually that bad.

[steel thistle]

alooot of crew

6 if all turrets manned probably 7-8 if including engineers for the ship and repair bay if thats a semi player hands on thing

like idk pressing start every once and awhile

[cursive drum]

Who is manning S3s…?

[steel thistle]

they are quad s3s

[cursive drum]

My hornet gets Quad S4s…

[steel thistle]

theres 3 manned turrets 2 remotes and a remote missile turret somewhere

[agile tinsel]

get 2 oblivious friends, force them to buy an aurora starter pack
free gunners

[steel thistle]

and that interior turret

in the cargo bay

[steel thistle]

does your hornet have 100k hp

and the quantum fuel of a refinery

[cursive drum]

Then I have to distract them for a month though.

[agile tinsel]

not possible

[steel thistle]

ironclad has alot of cargo tho

[cursive drum]

No. But I won’t lose any of it since I will just stay out of range of the S3s.

[agile tinsel]

it's gonna be really nice

ironclad is gonna be the easiest ship to unload in the game

[steel thistle]

you mean the ground assault facing s3s

for clearing a LZ

the assault doesnt have a tractor beam does it?

oh it does

omg its perfect

[cursive drum]

Easier than C1…?

[agile tinsel]

okay, not that easy, but the easiest of large ships

[cursive drum]

What if a Hornet gets beneath the ship?

[steel thistle]

hold ctrl and crush it

[fluid plume]

Plus all the ships we don’t know their working on

[steel thistle]

nah fr tho just deploy the 70 furies you got from the opening roof

and forget abt the hornet

[fluid plume]

Plus always chance of pioneer getting bmm treatment, cause 100% doubt station building will be part of base building tier 0 or anything larger then a campfire and log cabin lol jkjkjk but yea

[cursive drum]

When it goes above 1K, I must apply LTI to mine.

[fluid plume]

100% it will got above 1k if station building is considered end game base building and pioneer is so far the only thing that can build the platform that builds stations then yea they gonna make it to where you can’t upgrade to it to milk ya hard

Then they’ll announce concept for ship that can build everything but stations that sits right below 1k lol

[cursive drum]

So… Starlancer BLD and Galaxy? Actually they are both much closer to $400.

[wooden trench]

They've not confirmed if the ground assault will have the retracting roof

[steel thistle]

these bay doors are the exact same

[sand hound]

They confirmed both versions have opening roof

however the assault does not have tractor beam turrets

[steel sparrow]

How can I know what the next ISC is above

[crystal sleet]

CIG will tell us, or we can just speculate

[crystal sleet]

Top Towards Enemy

Also this channel has suddenly become the Ironclad channel lmao

[agile tinsel]

It’s the soon tm channel

Look at how the galaxy channel has fallen

This is the only active one left

[crystal sleet]

All the channels merge into one single channel, becoming the #star-citizen2 channel

[crystal sleet]

They died when the Perseus sapped its life force

[agile tinsel]

True, I think they still might be blaming us

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/yoink-cat-dragged-gif-1263419341748157821

[foggy beacon]

lmao

[steel sparrow]

The closer a ship is to its release, the more active a channel will be because they have more info and things to speculate on

[humble anvil]

still super happy that Perseus interior is basically connie sized.

super awesome ship

[agile tinsel]

Speculate on? We’ve been starved of info for months, this is just the cope and hope channel

[agile tinsel]

It’ll be deceptive since the Connie only has 1 level and the Perseus has 3

It’ll be nice not having to run through hallways though

And god I hope the elevator is faster than the Polaris one

[steel sparrow]

I hate when ur ship is under attack and have to wait for elevators

[agile tinsel]

I wish more ships had stairs

I think the Perseus might have a set of stairs though

[cursive drum]

Sad and hollow.

[crystal sleet]

It does, connecting the second and bridge floors

As far as i know

[agile tinsel]

I hope, my biggest issue with ships like the polaris is the lack of stairs

cause star citizen ladders are absolute dogshit

they're too sticky and slow

oh, and on the polaris they added a door infront of the ladder access, meaning it takes even longer 😭

[steel sparrow]

Ngl I like the idea of a ship with spinal mounted S9 with a s6 turret as a competitor from Anvil for Perseus

[agile tinsel]

pretty much what the BMM is gonna be

[steel sparrow]

Hmm?

It has spinal mounted gun?

[agile tinsel]

yeah, a size 8

well, it's top side

not bottom

pretty much the opposite of what the idris is

[steel sparrow]

👀

Never knew that

[agile tinsel]

tbf, I doubt the final concept is gonna be that OP

they might downsize it

since that's an insane weapon for a civilian freight ship to have

imagine trying to rob a BMM and it just kills your ship in one shot

[steel sparrow]

Is there any statement of us getting vandul destroyers like the one in SQ42 ch1

[humble anvil]

WELL IT CANT BEAT A PERSEUS IN A 1v1 BECAUSE LORE REASONS

[steel sparrow]

Basically a super aggressive mining ship that instead if mining rock it mines your ship

[agile tinsel]

I doubt we'll ever see large vanduul ships in the PTU

maybe a kingship event or something, but not to own

[steel sparrow]

It didn’t say Perseus took it down itself

[agile tinsel]

would be pretty interesting ngl
a castra or something kingship event

[steel sparrow]

Real

[agile tinsel]

the idris event but a whole lot bigger

[steel sparrow]

Maybe it got nuked by S10 railgun first X D

[agile tinsel]

CIG likes to over dramatize ship lore, but it's safe the say the perseus is gonna be the strongest sub cap in game

and an absolute menace against other sub-caps

[steel sparrow]

Once armor is implemented

[agile tinsel]

it's also one of the few ships that will handle the introduction of armor, since anything less than size 5 will be ineffective against larger ships

while size 7's are introduction size for anti-cap

[humble anvil]

fucking better be Drift

[agile tinsel]

I also expect kinetic weapons to be WAY better when armor comes, as it will mean energy weapons are less effective

[humble anvil]

I FREAKING HOPE SO DRIFT

[agile tinsel]

nah, they've pretty much confirmed that it'll work like that

we just gotta wait for armor

give it like 2 years at this rate

[steel sparrow]

Is armor listed for 1.0?

[agile tinsel]

nah, but it's definitely coming by 1.0 I would hope, unless they plan to release 1.0 within 2 years

it's a core feature

[humble anvil]

tbh the fact that a single turret makes up 2 inferno is kinda dope.

i like it

[agile tinsel]

I think the alpha will be similar to the ion

so 5k times 4

[humble anvil]

hope so

[steel sparrow]

[humble anvil]

If

For example: Ships can have T7 Armor. T6 and below weaponry should not be able to penetrate. I will be happy

Ofc weak points but , premise stands

[steel sparrow]

Perseus is "heavy armor"

soooooo

what tier is that?

[humble anvil]

Also apparently? T7 is the capital class armor? Minimum and Polaris has T6 cannon

Doesn't make sense

If the Polaris is anti capital, but the cannon can't do shit to capitals

What's the point

[steel sparrow]

maybe the torps are for anti cap

and size 6 for sub cap cause torps are pricy

[humble anvil]

People were calling for an upscale on the Polaris gun. I heard some shit that it was upscaled or they're planning to upscale

I need to check concept material

[steel sparrow]

aren't it already upscaled?

[humble anvil]

Yeah

I think

Anyways

I'll look in a min

Perseus will be heavy armor, not capital. But again people call for capital armor if it means it can't defend against light fighters. Like if it doesn't get PDCs

Because those heavy fighters will circle jerk around it

That seems correct though? Aren't heavy fighters supposed to punch sub capital

[steel sparrow]

I'd say they can implement armor ingame first as it act as a second health pool. Weapon size that are smaller than armor tier would deal damage to the healthpool first and Weapon size higher than armor tier would deal damage to the original healthpool

[steel sparrow]

pretty much right

[humble anvil]

Polaris

"Armor light"

"3x large"

[steel sparrow]

how old is this?

[humble anvil]

Oldddd

[cursive drum]

Wait what? Where is the turret operators, where is the pilot, and what happened to the armor and shields?

[humble anvil]

This was old assss shit

Before the upscale

[cursive drum]

Oh, that's good.

[steel sparrow]

I'd say armor "light" is relative for its class?

can't wait for tomorrow's ISC

Hope they talk about the changes that happened throughout the pipeline.

[agile tinsel]

ah, that is outdated btw

[humble anvil]

Thursday

[agile tinsel]

that was before the polaris had any capital components, pretty sure it wasn't even considered a capital ship then

[humble anvil]

Yea drifting

[agile tinsel]

how I look at it is that the polaris does have good armor, but it's a lighter alloy that doesn't hold up as well

probably how it's intended armor wise at least

[steel sparrow]

that's tomorrow for me ; D

[humble anvil]

I'm trying to find

Any specific that says Perseus has heavy armor.

[steel sparrow]

It was mentioned in ISC i think

or q&a

[humble anvil]

Oh thanks

QA

Forgot that Page

[agile tinsel]

ye, Q&A and ISC

[humble anvil]

Fuck 4 years ago

[agile tinsel]

it says it has heavy armor that is worse than capital armor, but I think that may have changed some

because if capital sized armor was supposed to be so much better, then why does something like a polaris have light armor

[steel sparrow]

heavy armor relative to light fighter

[humble anvil]

Yeah drifting

[agile tinsel]

so either CIG was smoking stuff, or they think light capital armor is way better than heavy sub-cap armor, which to me doesn't make sense in a balance standpoint

because a good 30% or more of the perseus internal size is taken up by armor

straight up meters of armor, and we're supposed to believe the polaris with the relatively thin hull, has better armor

[humble anvil]

So I'm reading something

S7

According to them 4 years ago

Isn't even for capitals

You have to knit pick apparently

They’re expected to be effective against all large-size ships. If targeting critical areas on capital ships, they should provide similar effectiveness as the Crusader Ares’ Size-7 weaponry.

[agile tinsel]

well, the issue with the original concept of armor and weapons is that "anti-cap" size is different

size 5 was originally the anti-cap introduction size

now it's size 7

and they haven't put any info that updates the current plan

[steel sparrow]

we'll se tomorrow

[humble anvil]

okay so. If you don't have S7 don't even fkn try

Awesome

Sounds good as it should be

[agile tinsel]

it's still tuesday for me 😭

PLEASE LET ME TIME TRAVEL LIKE YOU

also, the ares size 7 I would assume is gonna stay nerfed

pretty sure both use behring weapons

same manufacturer

[humble anvil]

Behring sucks?

[agile tinsel]

but the ares has always been nerfed to shit because it would be OP otherwise

[steel sparrow]

do u live in the US??

[agile tinsel]

yeah, but the question is if they're gonna give the perseus the unnerfed size 7, or are they gonna give it similar damage to the ares size 7 which is nerfed to shit

[agile tinsel]

ye, east coast

[steel sparrow]

I'm at the land down under XoX

[agile tinsel]

damn

austria?

[steel sparrow]

[steel sparrow]

bespoke so CIG can nerf it after the cash grab

[humble anvil]

If they intend the turrets to move super slow

[agile tinsel]

better than being a Zealander smh
people forget to even add them on the map half the time

[humble anvil]

It otter be good

[agile tinsel]

I think they'll be pretty spot on with the SQ42 size 7 turret on the javelin

[humble anvil]

Javelin? 4x S7?

[steel sparrow]

????

[humble anvil]

Idk

[steel sparrow]

12 size 7

[humble anvil]

Idk what's that made up of

6x 2xS7

[agile tinsel]

it's the same manufacturer as the perseus guns

pretty sure the SQ42 javelin had ballistic guns as well

[humble anvil]

[agile tinsel]

not laser

[humble anvil]

Delicious

Absolutely yummy

[steel sparrow]

one size 84 XoX

[agile tinsel]

so I think they'll just port the characteristics of that gun over to the perseus

[humble anvil]

I need to find video

[agile tinsel]

same gun size, same manfuacturer, both ballistic

[humble anvil]

Drift

You know what you're looking for, could you find it for me?

[agile tinsel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-0x4xk2Xk

here

[humble anvil]

Imtyyy

[agile tinsel]

ye

[humble anvil]

Tyyy

[steel sparrow]

but bespoke

[agile tinsel]

I already had it up lol

[humble anvil]

Peep a timestamp?

Or screenshot

[agile tinsel]

11:43

[humble anvil]

Thanks!

[steel sparrow]

why is there bullet drop

[agile tinsel]

star citizen is terrible in terms of realism honestly

space doesn't behave like a vacuum at all

despite the fact it's the fucking thing that defines it

also, just realized that the cannons in the video are M9A

but still

similar idea what you can expect I think

[humble anvil]

M9A

[agile tinsel]

ye

[humble anvil]

Anyways, that turret moves so fast

I do hope they move the small turrets n put it on the big guns

Or I guess leave them separate for automation

Or both

[agile tinsel]

probably seperate for automation

[humble anvil]

Put on top of big guns, big guns stay unmanned but top is automated until manned

[agile tinsel]

I think the game would bug out some though if they put 2 seperate turrets on top of eachother, with one being automated

since this game already doesn't do well with moving parts

[humble anvil]

Yeahh

[steel sparrow]

quad size 7

[humble anvil]

Actually I think it's tiny turret on top

Ad4b

Tinyyy

[steel sparrow]

on the jav?

[agile tinsel]

it's some tiny turret controlled by the gunner

[steel sparrow]

it's AD4B

[humble anvil]

M9A is S7

[steel sparrow]

but they can reload

[humble anvil]

Ooooooo

[steel sparrow]

I hope S7 gun on Perseus can reload

[humble anvil]

OH THAT'S WHAT

OHHHHHHHHHH

BROOOO

[steel sparrow]

??

[humble anvil]

Perseus getting SQ42 animation and first ship with physical reload

That's what they said and the loader being under the turret

Can choose ammunition type

Holy shit if that makes it in and it's not blank basic cannon

I will cooom

[steel sparrow]

so we will have to get out of turret to switch ammo type?

[humble anvil]

Idk

But if imthe main cannon gets 3 different types of ammo

[steel sparrow]

what do mean by "animation"

[humble anvil]

The reload

[steel sparrow]

ah I see

[humble anvil]

Ain't no other turret in the game got that kick back reload I'm pretty sure

Wow

Perseus stonks up

[agile tinsel]

wait really?

a

I see actually

[agile tinsel]

I think it will work like switching between missiles? At least I would expect it to

you hit MMB and wait a little for the ammo to cycle

[humble anvil]

Mhm!

Delicious

[agile tinsel]

middle mouse button, as in how you switch between the gun and missile

when piloting

[humble anvil]

Please please please please HE, AP, (??)

[steel sparrow]

That's what I imagine it to be : D

[agile tinsel]

I really hope they have an animation you can watch for the ammo cycling

[humble anvil]

Please please please please

[steel sparrow]

Flak: D

[humble anvil]

Please please please please

I feel like the SpongeBob meme begging

When SpongeBob's good star was getting taken away

[agile tinsel]

I can't wait for it too

would be funny if the flak was similar to the real life yamato flak shells

with top turret and bottom turret having different colors

[steel sparrow]

Beehive shell

[humble anvil]

Could you imagine flying over jumptown and using the bottom cannon to shell HE infantry rounds on the ground

[agile tinsel]

jumptown

getting shelled

[humble anvil]

Everyone hiding inside

[steel sparrow]

more like BOOM town

poke the size 7 into the building

[humble anvil]

Hot take, S7 should pen buildings

OHP

[agile tinsel]

wait

I just realized

isn't ISC based on UTC time?

[humble anvil]

Ya

[agile tinsel]

hmm

[steel sparrow]

uhh

[humble anvil]

5 UTC

[steel sparrow]

: D

[agile tinsel]

rip

I'll have to watch it when I wake up

on thursday that is

[steel sparrow]

pm or am

[humble anvil]

5PM UTC

[agile tinsel]

ooooooo

5pm nice

[steel sparrow]

[humble anvil]

On Thursday for them

I think that's noon for me?

[steel sparrow]

Friday 4 am for me

[agile tinsel]

rip

[humble anvil]

Yup

[steel sparrow]

[humble anvil]

<t:1741280400:f> - <t:1741280400:R>

How's that

[steel sparrow]

nice

[crystal sleet]

Airburst shells would be fucking devastating. If those were a thing, orgs would probably be organising events where defenders have to fend off a fleet of Perseus's configured for ground attack

Also with the whole manual reload thing, if they want to still automate tye s4 remote turrets, the remote turret operators can just become loaders for the two turrets. But if loaders are a thing, that means the max crew size rises up to 8

[agile tinsel]

having the crew size of the perseus increase entirely defeats the point of the ship

it's supposed to be easily operated by 3 people (or 4 if you want an engineer) while still dishing out the same firepower at a ship larger than it

[crystal sleet]

So most likely manual loading will be an emergency back up or a downtime activity

[nocturne raft]

is it safe to take respite here from the stupidity raging in general chat

[crystal sleet]

The moment i set foot here i instantly forget what main chat was going on about. Like Severance, but Percy

[agile tinsel]

depends, we're only as sane as the next person atm

cope/hopium

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/i-live-i-die-i-live-again-nux-mad-max-fury-road-resurrection-nicholas-hoult-gif-6889109572721885990

[agile tinsel]

if anything it'll probably be similar to how engineering will work, you won't need to do it in the middle of comabt if you have everything set right beforehand, but you will need to after combat

that or (I hope) it's automatic

similar to how the polaris torps reload, you have to wait for the mechanism to finish putting new ammo/torps in

[crystal sleet]

I wonder if theyll use the cargogrid conveyor system from the fortune to automatically load shells in, the gunners being able to use a screen to select what shells are loaded

[agile tinsel]

Would be really nice if we could see the boxes move one at a time on the belt

[crystal sleet]

That would require the game being able to visually move the boxes in ways that doenst break cargogrid logic, like not taking the lowest box thatll make a stack collapse

[agile tinsel]

True, probably would have to take the furthest box and pretend that it’s moving lol

[crystal sleet]

Now that i think of it, anyway they tried to do it, thered need to always be a grid border around the main cargo grid just to move boxes around from the top to the floor then wherever itd need to go, requiring extra volume for the boxes to get around. I dont think CIG will tolerate floating boxes

[agile tinsel]

They’re not gonna change the game logic so yeah, there would need to be some other way

[crystal sleet]

Either they also add an automated tractorbeam turret , or they just have us plug 1 scu boxes into a wall socket till the magazines recharge

[agile tinsel]

Finally a use for those shitty ammunition crates I always get from bounties

That begs the question though, in the future when reloading on ship is added, how are we gonna get the boxes through the doorway??

Or will it open up from under

[crystal sleet]

Would be pretty cool if instead of having just boxes of shells, they let us plug boxes of construction material to 3d print ammo directly into the magazines

[crystal sleet]

It will be loaded onto the cargo grid when its lowered

The cargobay is an elevator

[agile tinsel]

Honestly, CM would make a whole lot more sense

It would also be a good change in terms of cost to rearm

[crystal sleet]

Would still need chemicals for propellant and explosives

So maybe a port that takes ammo, CM and chems like a reverse buffer

[agile tinsel]

They could always have the current event material (dextra something something) be propellant

[crystal sleet]

That could work, plus CIG wouldnt have an issue adding new commodities anyways, expands the economy and stuff

[agile tinsel]

Not dextra lol

Dedatrine

They would probably want to make it less volatile if they want it to be for rearming

But otherwise it works

[crystal sleet]

Oh the chems for pharmaceuticals and drugs lol

[agile tinsel]

I don’t think they specified a use for it, other than the fact it blows up faster than your ship when it hits something at 1 m/s

[cursive drum]

"Capital Power Plant."

[cursive drum]

Angled armor to deflect vanduul rams. So... probably strong vs rams.

[cursive drum]

It had Lasers.

[cursive drum]

Different manufacturers. Aegis vs RSI. Javelins were also Lasers.

[cursive drum]

Jave has Quad S9. Although in the video, they showed Twin S?? So let's hope they are S10 now.

[cursive drum]

Incendiary, Flak, Distortion/EMP, and Beehive when?

[steel sparrow]

dunno why we would need incendiary tho

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/burning-burning-city-fire-destruction-gif-108872082476084020

[cursive drum]

because it is probably the most effective round against the majority of ships which are… solo.

[steel sparrow]

Wouldn’t HE shell with explosive radius like taskforce 1 be more effective?

[fluid plume]

I could be wrong but I think originally it was quad size 8 but then became dual size 9

[cursive drum]

Explosives can’t spread and consume the entire ship.

[cursive drum]

Nope. They used to be Quad S9. I dunno what they are now but they better not have been reduced to only Dual S9.

[steel sparrow]

As of taskforce 1 is outperforming rn

It can indeed cover up to most of medium fighter

[humble anvil]

Idk am I weird to say drop the Torp bay? It's a gunboat, why we need 20 t5 torps

[cursive drum]

Ooh. Noted.

[cursive drum]

To assist us in combat and beat Polaris at it’s own game.

[humble anvil]

To fuck up Connie's

Shit without PDC

[crystal sleet]

also just incase you need to fuck something up more than the s7 guns can dish out

[steel sparrow]

Hot take : PDCs are out performing right now

[crystal sleet]

proof - Solo Polaris doing Contain Frontier Fighter contracts

[humble anvil]

It might be peashooters but

They killed an intrepid in like 10 seconds

[steel sparrow]

yeah

[crystal sleet]

death by a thousand (or just like 6 or 7) papercuts

[steel sparrow]

I understand Idris/ Polaris PDCs could stop some larger torps, but it is said Polaris could overwhelm the PDCs with its torp

so either PDC needs to be "bespoke" with less damage or larger torps should have more health

[humble anvil]

Imagine the Perseus size 5 torps have more health than those size 10 corpse

And so what you run into is the size 5 towards hit every time

I'm going to check

[cursive drum]

Nope. Torps are just bad.

[cursive drum]

HP won’t help. Just make the torps 2-3X faster and reduce minimum lock on range down to 1KM max.

[humble anvil]

Oh boy they all have no health lol

No s5 torps

[wooden trench]

Torpedos and missiles should have an option to launch in volleys of how ever many tubes you have. Not one at a time.

[steel sparrow]

I bet 0 bucks that Perseus would appear next ISC

[crystal sleet]

funny you should mention that, the Perseus has 4 tubes

[humble anvil]

IT HAS 4 TUBES?!?!?!

YIPPPPEEEEEEE

[crystal sleet]

yus

[humble anvil]

OMG THIS SHIP SELLS ITSELF

[crystal sleet]

can barely just see the upper tube on the right there

[steel sparrow]

1 more day till ISC

1 more day until 4.1 evocati as well probably

Thursday or Friday I’d say

[humble anvil]

I need it

[agile tinsel]

btw, they said they're gonna try and start phase 1 of PTU today after evocati

evocati starts later today, phase 1 after that (which shouldn't be under NDA)

[humble anvil]

I don't think they have any reason to put the Perseus or any of it's assets

4.1 don't think will be ILW but rather 4.1.1

Maybe we'll get a ship list datamine for ILW

ive been thinking and cross referencing. I dont think well be getting stiars in the Perseus

if you look where the elevator to the bridge floor is, there looks to be what appears to be a "ramp" going up from the mid floor to the bridge

im starting to believe that was a perspective thing with the internal model creating wierd shapes

[humble anvil]

I saw there's like an incline that looks like it leads to the area above the cargo

[crystal sleet]

te only incline i see is the Zeus hallway that leads up to the captains quarters

plus look at the bridge cutaway, there doesnt seem to be space for stairs anywhere

[humble anvil]

I see you made your point and I can't argue with that. Guess we'll find out soon. HEY

Do you see those boxes on the Torpedo room walls

Is that.... Physcalized ammo?

[crystal sleet]

no, theyre put of the way and seems to have no way of wlaking over to eithout tripping over tubes and such

[humble anvil]

Is it meant to be ammo

[crystal sleet]

also, just some theory, if they did want stairs connecting the bridge and second floor, they could just cut the part ofthe wall where the red "stairs" are, the questing is if the space betweeen the walls are wide enough

[crystal sleet]

there was no explanation to what the boxes are, could be decorative
