@pine root I tried
same vibe
yoink
Guys behind the ship tomorrow
what do we think it is
(the correct answer is Perseus)
Wrong answer is the SL Tac or the guardian
Friday for me, i hate technically being in the future
Where are u???
Upside down
Lmao
as if the damn thing need more shield
they still haven't fixed the shield cycle glitch right?
theyre buffing it to give it a chance against the Perseus
Hopefully we will get clarity in the patch notes today / this week
Sure! What brown? The front and middle, just the front or just the middle? I tried getting some orange like the tail, but it was kinda difficult to still look good :C
CIG be like Nerf buff nerf buff nerf buff
All the brown
Until armor it's going to be meh
They need to get rid of the 50% base reduction for every ship
Because then it's stacked with the shield modifiers
Honestly is fucking ridiculous
Not every ship should have 50% res and some have 57%
yeah they should really start reducing the reduction now, atleast to 30%
Then again it's tiered in the future
S7 will 1 tap alot of ships
It's going straight through
So mehyehheh... Nyeew
they routed to the wrong waypoint
Lmaoooo
Wraps into OM-4 and there's a fucking brawl going on
Bro catches a stray bullet
Not to mention he's stuck because the Zeus Mr has quantum interdiction up
that part in the Hull C ship advert where they drop out into an org battle with Idris'
noone knows the aurora is there because the signatures of all the military comp ships are drowining out the poor aurora
There, choose the one you like more:
the Steel Vangaurd Senko
Man remove the furry stuff and that one on the left is sleek
Shame we'll never get something like forza's creator
PRAISE BE 🙏 
I love u. Both are my favorite
Honestly it looks way better than the previous one
the sakura still makes it lovely
i would pay 50$ for a perseus livery that looks like the japanese special f-15 liveries
Maybe - depends on if they fix shields
Agreed.
Light fighters taking 55% reduction from a bullet the size of their ship
Is insane
Okay not the circumference
Yes the circumference.
Guess thats a temporary thing for armor
a s10 laser cannon wouldn't 1 shot a cutter if it had shields up as well
"Lets nullify every damage that is over the shield capacity - surely a great idea" xD
the pain of using something like an m7a against light fighters lol
they get 1% of their shield regen and suddenly that 1k alpha just doesn't exist
no body damage at all
no spot for the Perseus at the RSI floor?
Nai
Heavy duty transport for the asgard 
ALso Greycat MTC? What is a Mobile Tactical Center? (in SC)
may not be final
but on launch, stay far away from a18
why? Because there will be thousands polarises scattert just everywhere making it a FPS mess with especially 640 player cap? 
And at least half of them being there
oh right at ILW all ships are flyable for free right? 
That will be fun I guess 
Especially because there is freefly aswell
Still one of the stupist things of the entirety of star wars- even worse than lukes death or somehow palpatine returned
palpatine returned in the fortnite universe
Still gonna shit on those engines with ballistics
oh dude for sure.
first thing that has to go lol
dump those engines and leave the poolaris out to die
Are they ingame yet...?
dont even board it, just leave it to float in space
Of course, nothing else it deserves
I dunno. A Base builder V1?
Something to test building, like a single drone that can construct miltiary fortifications?
That would be BLD or not
Y'know, Sandbags and gatling turrets and what not?
Potentially what a Mobile Tactical Center would do. Those and some Gatlings and maybe a mobile shield dome of sorts doesn't sound so bad.
perhaps but doubt that honestly
most definitely not yet, I just got off PTU
They could test basebuilding already with the personal hangars and failed completely with all that jiggely stuff
I doubt buildings will have physics and be anything other than just locked in place.
And yet they failed to do so in hangars? why should they allow players to do it in the open then
Perhaps its also just a concept vehicle, who knows
What would that have allowed?
Why Perseus is the best ship in Star Citizen:
1.) Soloability :
With the eventual release of Ai Blades into Star Citizen, the Perseus carries enough computer storage and additional power to operate the Ai Blade load. fundamentally meaning; you will never need to crew a player if you dont want to.
Explanation: The Perseus has 2 Medium Computers. Each Medium computer houses 3 Blade Slots. So there is a total of 6 Blade slots. 1 blade is used to make the Turret Remote, and 1 blade is used to automate the Remote Turret.
The Perseus comes with 2 Remote Turrets already installed, and without the need of a Blade, so all you need to do is Automate them. (If it doesn't automatically come automated)
That leaves you with 4 x Blade Slots. and 2x S7 Cannons.. 2 for Each Turrets, meaning you can automate your entire ship. 🙂
2.) Punching up and Down:
The S7 Guns, Torpedos, and Small Armament turrets, whether leaks or not means the Perseus can effectively kill connie class ships with ease, and be detrimental to any light figher that comes close as the PDCs and small arm Turrets will dispatch any solo fighter looking to cause trouble. S7 weaponary is also the bare minimum for punching up against ships like the Polaris and Idris, while other ships won't be able to; the Perseus will.
3.) Survivability:
Having the highest rated Armor for its Class, the Perseus can take a beating, giving you the opportunity to fight back, or Quantum out with little to no damage to the Crew. Quantum Interdicted? Blow that Cutlass out of the sky with those S7 Guns big dawg :).
4.) Leaks:
Rumours of upscaling float about ; whether that's 4x PDCs, 4x S4 turrets, or not at all, it only remains to get better with time.
5.) Future Relevance :
Armor introduction gives long staying power to the Perseus.
6.) Ursa :
It can carry a fucking Ursa
Also you missed a thing
FUCK
You may can only blade one main turret (if they are bladeable at all)
6 total blades - if you should need 2 blades per turret - and if the remote turrets also do need blades to work - you only have 2 open slots
i mean half of its copium because we dont know how it will release with these 'automations' other than old hashed info from years ago
whether or not the automation will require to be plugged in as Blades
prob right
It will prob be blades
probably
just that it comes by stock with 4 blades
and still having 2 open slots for perhaps blading one main turret
(would still make it soloable tho, its still 4x S4, 2x S7 and 20x S5 torpedos for one person)
Lets go, flushing update 
yeah lol
Satisfactory flush update flashbacks
maybe depending how it releases you can remote / slave the top turret
and blade the bottom
wwhoooooo knows
Slaving the top turret would be crazy 
I doubt they do it
considering they don't want the pilot to have that much power
see polaris torpedo turret
:corsair exists
Google Gemini just popped out a purchase justification sheet
It is morally correct to have your local crack head man the nose turret
"Just shoot at everything that moves buddy"
Pop them ships and you get your fix.
it will be silly to have those turrets automated, because you will probably have no good way of deciding what they should shoot at, nor will they be that good at shooting at things
Wow
I'm a Perseus simp and you can't even sell me the Perseus
What kind of salesman are you
Meh, yah know. Sure it sucks, but that's why real players are better but that's subjective because I personally cba to field players to turret my guns
I think the best even inefficient that I don't have my time wasted and their time wasted
Sometimes I like afk for 30 minutes n watch YouTube while playing.. so I'll happily take some shit AI in my turret
Perseus is best ship, can carry a nursa for medbed, has big pew pew guns, great minimum crew requirement for people with barely any friends, and you still get a big ship feeling from it, plus bridge overlooks main gun and the hull, and just nice design style overall, you’ll know you made great purchase when you sitting in pilot seat watching your friend turning the turret and going bang bang
Or the AI blade in the future

Heh heh turret go brrrr
Even if it's 1 medium computer per turret, shiiit
1 top big gun, and 1 top mini turret
there are flight blade at Invictus???
We got a new 4.1.1 PTU Patch today, and we're going to check out the Idris P available to tour, then look around the Invictus halls. Some very interesting things to find there. Then we'll go over a few additional Polaris changes.

WTF
no Perseus tho......
from what it looks like, we might get more than just flight blades
depends on what they actually meant when wording that
did they mean weapon, turret, and flight blades to mean 3 distinct different types of blades, or just turrets and weapons seperate from blades
I can't wait for the AI to ram into the enemy ships/ground
real
Interesting…
I was looking at the 2nd hall, and there are like a dozen or more podiums with two slots/spaces for things to sit on
Which makes me wonder, are they planning to do a wide showcase of the types of blades?
Otherwise, why have so many exhibition spaces for small items
I sure hope so!
Good amount of those are for components unfortunately. Unless they mix it up this year it'll be relatively the same as usual
sounds like a very exciting invictus to me.
my guess is that flight blades are just avionics, or the onboard ship ai
I just don't understand why they would dedicate an entire hall to display panels that are exactly the perfect size for those chips if we weren't getting AI blades soon lol
they would have to be really small components
They look like blades
Blades are legit little chipboards
An SSD you insert into slots
So yer
Flight blades could be tuners for the ship to make them have more thrust or etc.
While using more fuel
Or it's legit what we think it is
The beginning of turret automation
Oh derp
It's exactly what it says. Yeah we're getting all 3
Flight ai for drones, then remote and target blades for turrets
GENTLEMEN. WHEN THE PERSEUS RELEASES. WE FEAST
they probably will limit what ships can use turret blades, I assume the larger and more broken ships won't be able to just blade turrets for easy farming
They fixed ai having unlimited ballistic
For the ships we fly anyways
Maybe they'll limit to remote turrets only. Whooooo knows
But the fact too they're getting camera shake in. Dawg, you know they're releasing some shit... Otherwise they wouldn't be touching the turrets, or the Polaris S6 gun.vthere was no point
IT WAS A CHANGE BECAUSE THEY'RE TOUCHING THE PERSEUS IN THE BACK
SQ42 Shakey stuff coming in because Perseus was supposed to have that reload animation
If the Perseus had a shit gun, no one would buy. If the perseus had good gun then Polaris would cry.
Maths
They are touching it?
Nah, it's called touching it with a perseus
Then I'll diddle the reactor for the fluids. Sweet sweet polaris fluids
Now??
No, yesterday
For most people the polaris is just a stepping stone to better/more specialised ships, so let them cry
it wouldn't make sense to CCU to a ship that is $975 just to use it as a stepping stone for a better ship
you can't upgrade to the idris with it
it has no path after you CCU it
I assume many people have the polaris only because of having an Idris already and its their loaner
true, but I don't really see why someone would melt a polaris for an idris-p
trading s10 torps for a single s7 turret
and if you want an idris-k, well you're paying 2k
because you need the P to use it
they're two different types of ships, and if someone is spending double the money just so they can have a capital with a spinal railgun (or triple if they got it before increase), then I'd consider them a little insane
Most people who pay that amount of money for a game are either way a bit 'special' :p
I might be biased, but I also think the polaris interior is also way more friendly
very simple to get around
and doesn't constantly look dirty 
Well objectively there are barely signs on where you currently are in the ship unless they added that by now
Especially compared to the idris where signage is literally everywhere
You can use the floor color to tell where you are
Blue means you’re on med room side, orange means the jail side
Not very in depth
But it’s a pretty linear ship lol
Idris K is 1.5K. But yes, that is generally the intent.
The torps aren't real. You are paying a useless money pit for anything not a useless money pit.
isn't the idris-p 1,500 if bought with store credit (only reasonable purchase), then $500 for K upgrade kit?
Oh, $350 for the upgrade kit. Is it? I guess I got it Warbond so I wouldn't know.
well, that's why you've got a ton of them 
Ok but... More X 0 is still 0.
$350. No, I don't think so. Mayvbe there is a $250 Warbond during Invictus but it used to be you purchased the K ship and it wasn't an addon kit.
ah gotcha
these wiki prices are so weird sometimes lol
doesn't show the actual kit upgrade there
There is no "reasonable" for an purchase over 100+ on an online game xD
noooooo, it's only reasonable if it's store credits, that way I can lie to myself

then I'll repledge the melted ships
Also - I assume Idris P will drop at ILW, its weapons aren't that great (for its size) its just a huge carrier with alot of cargo capacity
just to tease the money whales even more for the actual good Idris (M)
MMO:
Same actually.
as we have learned from the polaris, hangar is just another excuse to put 1000 SCU's of drugs in your ship
Of course 
I mean why did they put TWO elevators inside of the hangar connected to the cargo hold - its literally giving that people use it for cargo
I remember doing the pyro derelict ship and vaughn missions, and we would just toss every crate through the hangar door until it was completely filled with like 1k+ SCU
I fell in and got stuck once 
xD
had to get the buds to move the boxes
I never want to touch those elvators again
So far I know there are alot of cargo grids in the hangar either way of the Idris on each wall
not only are they useless for large boxes, but they also have a 50/50 chance of eating you
the amount of times I've gotten stuck in the walls because of those elevators man
is it gonna be grid cargo?
Yep
oh that's nice
Just the hangar middle doesn't have grid at least from what ive seen
the P also has those 24 SCU cargo holds, I assume once the ship is 10000000% done, they'll go up and down
unless they expect us to fit the 24 SCU's of cargo through the door and hallways
never know, might run out of space for drugs!
That would be alot of drugs if it even fills the entire hangar bay
I want a billion weevil eggs laying around my ship
floating aphrodisiac transporter
But still, there isn't much differente DPS wise from the polaris to the Idris P ? Right?
Pretty much only difference is the size (and obv cargo capacity - hull HP)
ehhh, I think the P has a bunch of s5's, yeah?
polaris only has s3 and s4's
with a s6 turret
every turret is dual S5
Polaris has dual S6 quad S4
quad S 4 is pretty much a dual S5
s5 is pretty much the golden zone for weapons currently
really good with attrition-5's
And the 28x S10 torps..
if we're talking pure PVP then I would want an idris, but for high end PVE (like hunt the idris/polaris), I would probably prefer the polaris
I still feel like the polaris guns should be upgunned again, as having those tiny s3's kinda feels off
but that ain't happening lol
I kinda feel it should be downgunned 
Its a torpedo boat, not an gunboat
the top guns are so majestic looking
then they gave us the tiny nipple guns
that's exactly what they look like too
in its defense, even with full attritions, it's ONLY 17k DPS 
I think it's like 12k stock
Still a torpedo boat, not gunboat
questionable torpedo boat since torps are useless in PVP
So just because they fuck up torpedos, does that mean they should change the ships entire class?
they need to go back and make torps faster
Even if they will fix it later very likely
they didn't change the ship class just by giving it the s6, the guns are already s3 and s4
half joking, half real, I liked the way the original concept looked
while being barely bigger than sub capitals
ehh, the largest subcap is the hammerhead (if we consider the reclaimer a capital since it's capital size), which is still ~40 meters smaller
I think reclaimer is 155 though
Polaris isn't meant to 1vs1 browl other capitals - unless they're already badly damaged - its turrets are only there to defend it against fighters
not too far off
tbf, it's not really a good comparison when the only capital it is brawling against currently is itself
Yeah but you want it to have weaponry of an 200+ meter ship xD
I just really hate how it takes the torps 40 seconds to travel 20 km's
Yeah because we don't have anything else, thats an typical CIG move .-.
if they want it to be a torp boat, at least make torps worth using
torps need their speeds doubled, PDC's need to be fixed (they still kill you with your own torps)
and honestly, a single CM shouldn't defeat the bespoke s10 torps
maybe a s5 torp sure, but these are purpose made s10 torps lol
?? S5 torps are for a reason faster because they are supposed to hit since they don't freaking onehite most ships xD
and like... half the size
the current game is pretty much two exact copies doing loops around eachother while having no maneuverability (at least in PTU), it's honestly hilarious to watch
I was saying s5 torps should be able to be CM easily, but the s10 torps should be more advanced
every torp needs their speed doubled
they're massive torps, you would think they would perform better against CM than your run of the mill torp
especially since it's a military capital
They do perform better... they bring more deadly explosives^^ everything else should be the same - since they come from the same manufacture
once again, waiting 40 seconds watching your s10 torp travel 20 km's is stupid, how are they supposed to be long range if a ship can move faster than them
Sure. double the speed of them, but then PDC's should be way more aggressive - and that would become an issue for fighters
well yeah, that's why you get so many of the torps, so you can overwhelm the target, but if the target can visually watch them come at them for DOZENS of seconds, then it defeats the purpose
buff PDC's to be better at intercepting them, but at least give them a chance against a half-aware enemy 
I'm talking about PVP in this case
In PvP case nobody shoots them either way at an range of 30 km
more like.... 50 meter
any ship with gunners/PDC's can drink coffee, take a nap, and still have time to shoot them down
Thats exactly how CIG wants it to work tho
ye, but I think that ruins the role of its torpedo boat status, if the only viable tactic is shotgunning the target at 50 meters, then there are serious design flaws
They want you to destroy the PDC's first on bigger ships, so you can use torpedos after, thats literally how they want it to
Starlancer Tac orrrrr Perseus??👀
CIG ain't exactly known for making smart decisions surrounding torps
Thats the TAC conceptartwork
TAC was always gonna be ILW, I'm doubting perseus at this rate
Ohhh 😂
I think their decision is smarter than yours xD
perseus might as well be IAE
I don't like onehitting torpedos to be able to just fuck the shit out of everyone
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
an air gun can launch a potato faster than those torps
But I assume that post means they will talk tomorrow about the tac, which is a huge dissappointment because its just an useless dropship and not even that, its just a variant, not even a new ship
how are you supposed to take out PDC's without getting within 1-2 km's? A fighter or two is gonna melt instantly
and if the goal is to get in close first, then that already means that CIG intends it to be a gunboat
in which case the guns shouldn't be nerfed
A fighter isn't melting tho :p
Unless he doesn't know how to fight
with all the turrets and PDC's focusing it, it will
and worst case - you still got a shit load of other missiles on the polaris
just use them, and hide a torp in between
Overloading the PDC's
s3 missiles don't exactly have the range, but I see how that could be used to overwhelm
I guess use the tac for the meantime until our Prized Perseus is ready
TAC is gonna be a nice ship
med beds and enough firepower to melt other ships of similar size
2 S3 shields too
meaning it should be ~120k shield health
Was just about to ask if the BLD also has 2x S3 but there isn't even an page for the BLD yet 
Giving a ship that size only 1x S3 is either way stupid (talking about Max)
pretty sure the max handles worse than a C2 lol
And is almost the same size minus the wings
would not be my first pick, that's for sure
But has half the shield xD
I think the TAC has some real PVE opportunities though
and probably way less HP 
2x S3 shields is pretty much a middle finger to the AI
until you find an AI connie/corsair
god I hate those fucks
Was thinking about pledging it, just only because of the additional S3 shield
but then I saw what you lose for that, and how much it costs compared to the max 
I'm still tempted to
I have an M2 that I like, but not a ton
and already own a corsair
Well I only have a SL Max
But 1x S3 shield is shit
Especially if it comes to VHRT or ERT bounties
yeah, I don't enjoy high level bounties even in the corsair
60k shield is incredibly soft once you get up there, and you might as well give up a hammerhead mission
Issue there is that the minimum in bounties is VHRT to actually get valuable stuff
Everything beneath that is trash
and vaughns are no longer worth doing 😭
I did like a dozen 2 days ago, all the 118k payout ones
every decent ship had at max 1-2 SCU of weevil
Well I don't have to worry about money till soft money wipe or full wipe
Thats literally not worth doing xD
yeah, it's just that I enjoy numbers going up even if I don't need it 
the time, effort, and ammo spent alone is not worth it for a weevil egg
I get better stuff in HRT's
yep
gotta pray it's not just a billion F7's
really depends on 1 single ship for the money
gib perseus
Thats why I usually try at least VHRT
Because chance high to get a dozens of Quant or Slam
Only have to be lucky to not encounter like 3 Connies at the same spot 
Guess once percy is ingame purchasable - will make bounties by far more easier
Shredding the Hammerheads connies and Herkules like a hot knife through butter with one mate sitting in the upper turret
i need to grind hrts and shiizzzz
it will be so satisfying to just melt Hammerheads and Connies like they're nothing with dual S7s
Why do you need to grind HRTs lol
If they don't do a soft wipe till then
Depending on when the perseus arrives... I assume at least at the release of crafting and basebuilding there will be minimum a soft wipe
@humble anvil do you even have a perseus pledged?
i have a chain, and the thundercloud paint. CCU price is locked in
all i have to do is fill in the blanks with store credit or warbond offers
So I can be your turret gunner once it releases and or borrow it till they sell it ingame - I see 
Just a stepping stone to the percy or what
ya
SL needs buff either way - all of them
big whoopdy fucking doo if theres no medbay.
Honestly, for the turrets if we don’t get AI blades be then, I’ll probably use one of my alts lol
That or get some friends to be turret slaves
for the perseus we will get people to turret, there is no doubt
I don’t really trust the people in VC’s lol
but those tiny s4's aint no one give a fuck
Well for me its still way to expensive, prefer grinding my way up to the percy even if i would be very happy to start with it xD But aint gonna pay 700+ bucks for a current JPG - for a company thats not very trustworthy
im going to cull my friendslist, so i'll add you Ravit
and just "borrow" it from people in this channel till I can afford it ingame 
Since doing bounties with a percy is probably by far more efficient than with an SL MAx
Melting hammerheads and their Herkules escorts, and enough cargo room to fit a shit load of stolen goods from them 
Probably making multiple millions per hour
Honestly, if you did the broken event, you probably have enough for it
ya
I estimate the Perseus will cost like 100 mil in game
Could be, but I think CIG will try and upsell it, every ship with good armor costs a fortune, just look at the M2
But i doubt they will stay till she is available ingame, especially considering if she won't release ILW its more likely IAE, and then +3-6 Months till its available in ingame shops
so meaning 1+ year for the ingame purchase
Depends highly on the ship and class - M2 isn't because of its armor so expensive
Its because of its weaponry
Well yeah, the chin turret is nice, but the price difference is still insane
And Perseus is only one class higher than the hammerhead armor wise
and DPS wise they're similar - if we take all turrets
True
GOOD NEWS
Hammerhead is medium armor - Perseus is heavy armor
I’m guessing each Perseus turret is gonna be like 6k or more DPS, but being a ballistic weapon, that effectively means it’s half against most things
So maybe 10k per turret since that’s 5k after losing 50%
?
He says good news and leaves the chat
mehjklshfgkjdhfg
ofc its a S7 cannon what did you expect
If you’ve used the Polaris s6 then you’ll know that range is never the issue
Hitting anything at long distances with the Polaris s6 requires a lot of luck and a dumb enemy
The bullets are quite slow lol
Or a huge enemy ship
Pretty much another Polaris, or I guess an AI hammerhead
Yeah lol
Still means that having more range isn’t that amazing though
Since 90% of targets are not Polaris’ or hammerheads
They will be in ERT's :p
Wonder if that means you can take out the Hammerhead before it even comes in range
That would be funny
Just start reversing at full speed while firing 
always worry about asteroids behind me then
But since the gunner has to shoot and not the pilot sure xD
Yeah, that’s my biggest worry with yela asteroid missions
Tbf, recently I’ve noticed that in atmo the AI ships will just sit on the ground a lot of the time
Literally just park there 
Yeah guess thats a bug they introduced with 4.0
Even saw a couple f7’s doing it
But they usually fixed themselves
After being hit for a good 10 seconds ofc
Just that 10 seconds aren't enough to kill a Hammerhead xd
Since they posted a concept artwork of the SL TAC on Insta, i Assume they talk about the TAC
Maybe
I honestly hope if they talk about one from the leaked ones its the CMT
the control command thing that was leaked (yesterday?)
The capacity of a ship to utilize AI Blades is directly tied to the number and size of its installed Computer components. Star Citizen employs a sizing system for most components, ranging from Vehicle (Size 0) through Small (Size 1), Medium (Size 2), Large (Size 3), to Capital (Size 4). It is logical to infer, and supported by developer comments and examples, that larger Computer components can host a greater number or potentially more complex/powerful blades than smaller ones.Several specific examples illustrate this intended relationship, although precise slot counts per size remain largely undefined publicly :
Anvil Hammerhead: This gunship is stated to possess 2x Medium (Size 2) Computers. Developer comments have indicated that it will not be possible to automate all six of its turrets using blades, with speculation often centering around a limit of four automated turrets. This implies a potential capacity of two turret-automation blades per Medium Computer, or an overall ship-level limitation.
RSI Perseus: The Point Defense Cannons (PDCs) on this gunship are stated to come with automation blades installed by default. This suggests either these blades don't consume standard slots or the ship has sufficient base capacity to include them alongside slots for other functions.
Thanks Google Gemini

B. Evolution from "Avionics Modules"
In earlier stages of Star Citizen's development and documentation, the component slot now designated for Computers was often referred to as the "Avionics Module". This terminology shift reflects the ongoing refinement and standardization of ship component systems. The current "Computer" designation encompasses the role previously filled by Avionics Modules in relation to blade hosting.The recent appearance of "Avionics Blades" or "Flight Blades" in test builds adds another layer to this. It suggests that the fundamental operational capabilities provided by the Computer component itself – such as running the Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS), managing Multi-Function Displays (MFDs), or processing basic sensor data – might now be represented by default, potentially non-swappable blades occupying foundational slots within the computer. This aligns with the broader push towards physicalizing all ship components and their functions.
...
in before we need avionics blade or we dont see our HUD
now blud is just shitposting
I have nothing else going for me
Got my shit kicked in at work, lol it was a terrible day
Idk what I'll do after Perseus releases
I say I want Arrastra but I don't even mine now.
No reason to mine*
Where??
This
Concept art not real ingame footage tho
told yall 
you can’t blade manned turrets they said
Got a reference for that?

John Crewe and David Colson join us this week on Star Citizen Live to answer your questions about all flight ready ships including how they fly, operate and perform in the Star Citizen universe.
Roberts Space Industries is a spacecraft manufacturer within the persistent-world game "Star Citizen" and i...
somewhere cba to find it
doesn’t make sense to have an automated manned turret
slaved maybe
kinda game breaking
They've talked about it for over 10 years now
A blade can physically be put into the manned turret, from old designs.
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.
won’t find it here
That is older than the video I posted.
By years
Their intent, which they've been consistent on, is that all turrets can be bladed.
so it’s not 10+ years is it
this the source we been using nb going 5 years back from youtube when you just google search star citizen turret
Can you even read? It literally says any turret can be autonomous in that post you're referencing
I'm done
where?
bit busy
Requires a computer and a blade, but any turret can be bladed
Entire ships will be fully autonomous, no extra players required.
any turret can be controlled by an NPC
Hammerhead can, by default, blade 4 of its 6 turrets (for example)
well done cig for making a multicrew system to just blade all of the op guns anyway
Yep, the Idris-Kit also completely automates most of the Idris turrets
It's the way of the future, embrace it
I imagine having actual players in them would be 50%+ efficient though
Nah they've always been courting the space dads
crew count for ships
Hull E was touted as a solo ship when it was sold, same for 600i and such xD
what’s the point in master modes if i got an ai blade for the pilot
That's the only thing that cannot be automated and they have been VERY FIRM on that one - a player must pilot a player ship
how can you put a blade in a turret that needs to be turned by handles 💔💔💔
why do manned turrets even exist
they’re shit now
It gets swapped out completely to the bladed version, supposedly - dunno how they will do it now
pilot gets shot through the glass
remote is better in every way
the only reason i can think of is if manned has to be crewed
Oh and utility turrets can't be bladed either - tractor beams, mining, salvage, etc
guy flying clips the bottom turret while landing and the guy inside just goes dead
these devs bro
i agree with blading everything but manned and pilot
cruise control or auto quantum routes is enough
like have it take you from arc corp to yela to yela l1 to a farm
and that’s it
It is strange that they keep using the word "manned turret" alongside remote turrets and such, like with the Ironclad.
They're always inferior to remote turrets :(
there’s no difference anymore just make everything remote
silly ahh devs
manned is just more risk no reward just run blades bro
much harder to die looking at the wall of the lancer tac than sitting outside the ship
I think it'll just get balanced down by firerate/capacitor/something, even then though, they've claimed multiple times that a full NPC crew could be competitive against a full player crew
i mean blades might not even be usable cuz polaris has 27 pips of power and they might take up 1-3 of that
and polaris already has like none to spare
if it powers weapons shields and slight thrust it won’t have any really for the computer
Change weapon to ballistics👍
you still need power bro
how are you gonna shoot the gun if the turret is off
you can’t
One power for weapon?
ever tried even turning a turret while it’s off?
pdcs operate on weapons power and they can’t be made ballistic
but on percy everything is ballistic so it’s power should be fine
Learn how to distribute shield to save power X D
unless it gets them 4x pdcs all lasers
inb4 it has 6 pips
and 5 shield slots
💔
sometimes it’s like cig is just flailing around like a beached whale
in random directions with stuff
in fact
all the time
what are we even doing
where is the game going atp 😭🙏🏻
It's why I don't play it right now 
are we catering for space dads or making an mmorpg
which is it
are we making a balanced game or throwing numbers on ships and seeing if it sticks
like why does polaris have 27 pips
is this the new direction for all combat ships
less power
more stuff that needs power
with the excuse of it needs to be managed
mate i’m not managing the power
the power is managing me
and then when one gen goes down i’ve got 13 pips
😭😭😭🙏🏻
You p(l)ay the ccu game tho
I am wondering if the Perseus loaner gets changed from Polaris to TAC perhaps.
i hope so, just something with a large hangar, PLEASE
Dont like your XL Hangar? 
the next biggest ship other than the polaris loaner is a Zeus, like bro i dont want to run across 15 football fields just to get to my ship
its smaller (or the same as) than the Hammerhead, the HH uses a large
I mean you want a capital sized percy 
ah
Doesnt the idris k kit only fill the remaining pdc slots in terms of automated guns?
They said 4 years ago the manned turrets can be bladed as a fallback.

It swaps all of the standard remote turrets to automated "PDS turrets" (before we had actual PDCs), "most" isn't accurate, but it helps
In the end it doesnt even matter, since they do start to balance it once its implemented and See how it goes, not before
And probably only then they will decide it if manned turrets will also be bladable or not
But maybe they will talk today also about blades or tease them
I refuse to accept this reality
I think they will be able to be bladed, they specifically mentioned the hammerhead as a bladeable ship
Oh god
I thought because they're tiny
No God they're all manned lol
Well they said those turrets can be bladed. Guess we'll see what happens
Video today better have a jpeg of the Perseus flying in the background
They're manned, and fun fact - the Flight IV (2947, military only) versions have multiple additional remote turrets as well
The hammy head has a varient with bigger guns?
Hammerhead Layout still bad
And guess what, they can still change that anytime they want to 
If they decide they wanna go an other route with blades
Hammyhead has so much wasted space
those look like distortion scatter guns
Google Gemini said yesterday in its research report that they discussed blades to have wide range of features, from flight tuning, to helping mining.
It also said that they can be used to slave turrets to pilot
But. Wherever it took that info from the 75 different sites it read through. I don't know
I read it, it was accurate. Probably scraped some of my writing even 

CIG themselves can do whatever though. They have had an entire director change since all of those were posted. They do seem to be leaning more towards the casual spacedad side atm though, so I would put bets on blades and increased soloability of ships for the short term future.
Tbf, Im pretty sure there are more casuals than hardcore player, because its pretty much always like that in MMO's
Not to bust anyone's bubble. I hope so lol.... I prefer to casual space dad
I really really don't want to get players to man my Perseus
It'll be do able but still
Yet they said multiple times even IF blades will be able to man manned turrets - there will be offdraws
Power draw, em through the roof
They surely have to find a middle between spacedads and casuals and hardcore players
Ain't dodging missiles
In PvP it should always be Player Crew > NPC Crew > Bladed > Solo
It's definitely the wider audience, even I lean more towards casual stuff nowadays since I don't want to get frustrated or stressed while playing something intended for fun :x
ofc depending on the pilot and how skilled the players are there should always be the possibility to winn even with an AI Blade crew against NPC crew or even player crew depending on how good you are but it should be significant harder than with a dedicated player crew
This is the 2nd time I clicked on Irisviel's profile. God damn humans are pretty. 
Well its just the point of the endgame goal of the game rn are capital ships
🗞️
and if the most part of the player base cannot use them... because of not having crew...
Thats kinda shit
The first time I clicked was a few months ago
My wife is prettier anyway
@warm scarab
They either way have to figure out blades/NPC crew because of Javelin and Bengal
Not even Orgs will be able to crew them
Also them sitting only in their F7A
I want room for all 200 of my org members
Nooo
That's why we own 5 Idris
And 10 odyssey

It's a joke btw
44 yen
"Its a joke" thats the sad part, you would think thats a joke
but for most orgs thats real 
yeah, this is one of my orgs with just 30 members
even one javelin is still able to hold all org members as crew, and it would not even be 50% crewed 
Blades 🙂
Bladesss 🙂
We stuff those in the Perseus
Scrap the side guns of the javelin and weld them on the perseus
Yeah :( basically need npc crew and blades or it all just becomes salvage
I want to see an upgrade kit for the Perseus Chroberts
I saw bigger orgs with less ships especially if it comes to larger ships 
Quad S7 top gun
Real whale org you got there
ngl looks more like a drake turret
drake would have more exposed frames and wires running
misc is bubble cannopy
Pls upscale our tiny s3 CIG
DUAL S4 TURRETS
QUAD S7
QUINT S9
I assume you will be pretty dissappointed today
RAVIT
When is the video anyway?
time to sleep I guess
To lift you up!
wdym 
its literally the first gif in gif search "uppies" 
Lol all good
surely need more copium in 5 hours


.
3 Turrets for a percy leaked?! 
RAAAAGGHHHH
The drawbacks will be that you cant pick your targets and power draw i believe, and i assume with npc crew you should be able to at least pick a priority target, if some1 said this already sorry, i didint read anything past this message
You can pick priority targets already or at least mark them even if you're alone in a ship
most people just don't know that its already in the game for like... years
I dont think the bladed turrets react to the priority mark
Well since we don't have blades, who knows
True
BT u know ur game just got cancled?
Though i think this would be quite a fair way to make npc crew viable as well, since from what i remember you will have to manage their morale and give them shifts and stuff, i heard it from somwhere but i have no clue if its true
I mourn it every day
This is like the third time its been canceled
NPC crew will be either way a long road probably till that will come ingame xd
imagine they add AI language models that you can just yell commands like "delet that C1" of smth like that and npc crews would do that
Theres a neat app that lets you do something similar, the ai voices are quite lame but it has integration with uex and some other website, which lets it reccomend you trade routes and tell you how much stuff is worth, and can do stuff like control power, set nav markers and a load of other stuff
"Cephalon, increase power to coolers and decrease powerplant output"
"Affirmative, triggering total powerplant meltdown in 3...2..."
cig teases new ship turns out just a garbage truck lol
A nice addition to the raptor april fools car

Jared looks in camera ah you thought it was perseus but no its garbage truck
Of course its the tac 
Could not have taken an more boring ship ngl
not even a new ship - as I said 
@humble anvil this you? 
LOOOK AT RSI MAIN PAGE ABOUT INVICTUS. I HOPE THIS IS THE PERSEUS!
Thats the idris mate
Best part is still they said "NEW VEHICLES" last time
aka multiple and Tac is definitely not a "new vehicle"
Its a variant of an already existing vehicle
Also got the feeling TAC will suffer the same problem as the Hammerhead - needing way too much crew to do anything efficient
Pilot, 4 gunners, +1 pilot for the fury or whatever else fits in there
Better of taking a Hammerhead with that amount of crew xD
Also the average CIG Marketing hits again
showing the TAC demolishing a Polaris xD
"Can punch above its weight class" ykyk
welp see you guys at IAE
Also I assume thats just the Ursa, and not the new Command module vehicle?

maybe there's still an opportunity for them to push it at the finale. it's cope but
that was my original cope
it's an ursa
you never know man 

link
Its the spectrum post from ILW
We have to upvote this man 
Putting some pressure on the perseus release
literally except HH got no medbay or fury
i did say this
i was like why does tac have 7 fucking crew
without the troops in the bay
like bro
it’s a budget polaris
and at that point
just take a polaris on skeleton crew
😭
Fury is trash for pretty much everything other than to bully fighters - and the medbay alone does not make it good xD
Its simply a drop ship with "kind of" gunship capabilities
with 7 people
And dropships are - as always- not the best kind of ships
A2 be like
Would prefer taking the A2 or M2 over the TAC tbf
run an A2 bomb the LZ kill everything then land
done
2 crew
10 soldiers
more vehicles than the tac
- tanks

tbf the storm tank fits inside of the MAX
you got room to take cargo home after the raid too
Assuming it will fit into the tac too unless they made the rear cargo thing smaller
that is also not doing anything except killing infantry 💔
unless it’s AA
Well, yes xD
tac lowkey cool but mid
There are simply multiple other ships that do the same thing - just better
i have one it will likely be CCUed to an ironclad assault
because the repair bay is way better than anything the tac has
it’s the same crew
more cargo
just drake :/
I hate drake - but Ironclad is reasonable choice xD
ye
Ironclad and Kraken only chad drake ships
and tons of cargo
it’s just better
surely a fighter fits there in aswell
loads
since the roof can open
better of going with an ironclad with 4x F7s
than with a tac xD
with blades tho tac might be alright
but ironclad won’t be much worse firepower wise
it’s not got as good arcs but
Especially assault...
it’s still decent
that’s what i’m getting fr
assault has 2 or 4 more turrets or not
assault has repair bay and drop ship seats as well no?
only downside is it’s drake but you might be able to just make fuses and components in the repair bay fabricator
and then the drake issue goes away
It still "looks" like drake so there is that issue :p
nah it’s one of the good looking drakes
like the kraken
also if in trouble you can just detach and fly off lol
Not like the connies... oh wait- thats RSI 
assault still has tractor beam right? i think
got an interior turret in case of thieves 😈🙌🏻
Nope
who’s picking the tac bro 😭🙏🏻
It doesn't have tractor beams
Many people copium about the tac
Pretty suprised of that since most people play solo - sometimes maybe with 1-2 friends and even then thats to less people for a tac xD
oh that’s fine stick an atls or 2 in the repair bay
no impediment to tank carrying abilities
i’ve got 350 store credit that i used to grab a tac so i can get the assault pretty easily, it’s not coming this ILW is it
price shouldn’t raise
Dunno Perseus and Ironclad are both quite big ships, think if they would come at ILW they would be already in PTU for testing
it’s not on the list of ships
Dataminers can always be wrong
so unless they managed to hide it
ye
tbf if it’s a “patrol” vessel then fair enough
but as a drop ship hybrid it’s not amazing
like i reckon the tac will be better for ship to ship combat but
Only stuff I am interested in from what dataminers got is the MTC and asgard
yeah i want that MTC
Well I want to know what it is xD
ironclad ass and idris
Like what is its purpose
Is it a basebuild thing?
Or is it something like the ATLAS Spartan
Also its from Greycat.... doesn't make greycat only like - industrial vehicles?
radar c&c i guess
command and control for ground units
target acquisition maybe
Lets go switching from only industrial to a military vehicle 
probably a truck with an armoury, bike bay and a big radar map thing
yeah like hoverbikes or those tumbril ones
When real bikes CIG
probably turrets on the roof and some jump seats for troops and that’s about it
I mean we know already how it will look like somewhat
it can’t be hard to make a buggy just on 2 wheels
we do?
yes
the tech is there cig 💔💔 stop doing hoverbikes
even tho hoverbikes are probably 10x better
cuz you can use in space
Doubt the one with the bike bay xD
WHAT IS THATTTT
Because of its size
TS TINY

i think you’ll find she disagrees 😈🙌🏻
ursa with non functioning map tech
Was really hoping for the Atlas Building platform tbh
who wanna bet the c&c or tactical map doesn’t work yet
Since cannot be that hard to make one since the base vehicle is already there and you only have to make the trailer
But who does need that tbf
nobody
except atleast ground vehicles have less signature
so they’re harder to find
than a ship
Would be cool if it could be a surface scanner
revealing vehicles nearby
like - in an 10-15km distance
So you could find like hidden ballistas or such on something like jumptown (?)
yeah maybe
