Perseus Pals

[azure fulcrum]

I know but its just not fun to fly

When I want a ship it either has to be Fun or have a lot of utility

[lone bloom]

You forgot the most important part

it has to look good

[azure fulcrum]

oh yeah that too

MX is a fine heavy fighter but I just don't like how it looks its too bulky and the prongs don't make much sense

[lone bloom]

I have the Max purely out of utility - fair its hub rooms are also looking great for its priceclass ngl

[azure fulcrum]

I'm not that much of a starwars nerd to salivate over it

[crystal sleet]

Buh

[crystal sleet]

Sigh

pulls out credit card

[azure fulcrum]

I just fricking hope the new prowler variant will be lower priced than regular prowler so I can use it in my CCU chain

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[lone bloom]

IF

Its a prowler

[azure fulcrum]

oh you mean they could give it a different name?

[crystal sleet]

Could be an asgard situation, a completely new ship using prowler assets

[crystal sleet]

Let me guess, two s6 pilot guns?

[lone bloom]

dunno got posted in leaks channel

just saying it could be also a different ship generally

[crystal sleet]

Or maybe 6 s3s

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I posted it it's a fanart

[lone bloom]

God, please no

the Asgard with its 6 S3s is already shit enough

[azure fulcrum]

the capacitor buffs in 4.2 are quite insane

[lone bloom]

Makes it even worse, since then it will not be ingame

[crystal sleet]

Oh right the asgard was Elite Dangerous'ed, lets say 6 s2s then

[azure fulcrum]

have you noticed Assguard has 250 ammo for the s3 guns now?

[lone bloom]

Still

S3 shit

[azure fulcrum]

basilisk has 460 ammo

[lone bloom]

I want the big guns

[azure fulcrum]

s3 only good against fighters

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/battleship-warship-uss-missouri-battleship-fire-cannon-fire-gif-14048301106970095650

[azure fulcrum]

tevarin have the big guns

[lone bloom]

No

[azure fulcrum]

S4s on the talon

[lone bloom]

Perseus has the big guns

[lone bloom]

Hornet has also S4s

[azure fulcrum]

oh yes... I forgot about the power creep

[lone bloom]

And the dual S2 nose turret... and dual S2 top turret... and all being pilot weapons...

tbf Talon is a light fighter, Hornet is a Medium

[azure fulcrum]

the super horny mark II has dual S5 ballistic guns on the turret

even more ridiculous

[lone bloom]

But thats with copilot

[azure fulcrum]

no its pilot controlled

[lone bloom]

lol

[azure fulcrum]

hahahaha

[lone bloom]

[crystal sleet]

I bet its a prowler variant still. Considering its a stealth troop transport, and with the upcoming ASD stuff, i bet its a small vehicle dropship that can hold a few bikes or a cyclone, with stealth capabilities

[lone bloom]

Yeah more .... dropships....

because they had so much use...

[crystal sleet]

Letting us drop in undetected or fly low to avoid weather

[lone bloom]

the last couple years

or... ever

[azure fulcrum]

https://starcitizen.tools/F7C-M_Hornet_Heartseeker_Mk_II

[crystal sleet]

Tell that to CIG and the asgard lmao

[lone bloom]

tbf asgard can at least carry cargo aswell alot

[azure fulcrum]

oh wait dual S4s on the turret

[lone bloom]

unlike the fucking Cutlass Steel

or Prowler

[crystal sleet]

"But, but, we dont have a STEALTH dropship yet :("

[lone bloom]

or valk pre buff

we have, its the prowler

just that it doesn't work

[azure fulcrum]

I just want the new prowler variant to have a cargo bay and be able to carry vehicles so it can be the ultimate daily driver MPV

[crystal sleet]

Have they fixed the ladder to the pilot seat in the prowler yet?

[lone bloom]

Dropships should become literally invisible on radar unless getting close like 1km

until then, they useless in my view

[azure fulcrum]

you can go up the ladder to the component room but its bugged you can see right through the sheep

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/schaf-gif-27660799

[crystal sleet]

Oh its for components, thought it was for another operator station for the remote turret

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I think there's also another pilot seat there

[crystal sleet]

Oh lol, i wonder which seat is supposed to be the main one

Unless its the same thing as the "banu dont have designated stations"

[azure fulcrum]

I think the main one is on the upper deck

the lower one is copilot

[lone bloom]

Me who didn't even know it has two "pilot" seats let alone a copilot

[crystal sleet]

I only learnt of the real pilot seat like 4 months ago, never knew there was even a ladder there

[lone bloom]

That thing has a upper floor?

[azure fulcrum]

yeah

[lone bloom]

I used one a few times and were inside of it multiple times

[humble anvil]

perseus plz

[lone bloom]

and never noticed that ladder

[crystal sleet]

They should do a poll asking if people knew of the wecond floor on the prowler

See how many even knew

[lone bloom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1121113616926638131/1354544778112536797/480.gif

[lone bloom]

also @azure fulcrum those cargo areas in the drone command room are labeled as "Two drone filler stations with 16 SCU worth of capacity each on both sides allows for drones to resupply" (for the SL BLD)

[azure fulcrum]

will the perseus have a relative low EM and crossection for its size? cuz its full balistic and the side and front profile are really tiny?

they should give perseus stealth signature modifiers eggh

[crystal sleet]

From the sides and front it might be relatively low

[azure fulcrum]

ah ok so it has a little less room for the main cargo then

[lone bloom]

Somehow i got the feeling that buildings won't be that expensive if they only made 16 scu per two large drones space lol

[crystal sleet]

If they want to also deal with radar waves interacting with angled armour

[azure fulcrum]

yeah it must be lower than most ships its size but the signature modifiers will probably not be that low

but comeone mane its a REAL military ship

[humble anvil]

nah that thing is going to have a fat cross section

[lone bloom]

that SCM and power off is the same is bullshit lol

[humble anvil]

its not tiny by any means

its a thicc ass boy

[azure fulcrum]

the front cross section is relatively small tho

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-hippo-mottomotto-gif-2800813249166631130

[crystal sleet]

Imagine the perseus having a cs of B2 spirit bomber

[lone bloom]

Also

[humble anvil]

actually perseus is the same size as a hammerhead

[lone bloom]

Crosssection fucks up stealth gameplay for somewhat larger stuff.....

Why aren't there specific ships with specific armor platings

that reduce that?

Like on the B2 Bomber lol

[azure fulcrum]

ah fuck fleetviewer doesn't have a front view?

[lone bloom]

its smoller*

At least in concept

[crystal sleet]

Perhaps they could do an elite dangerous and introduce "hull plating" as a component, have different tiers and roles

[lone bloom]

Wouldn't even mind that

[lone bloom]

Giving more option to modify your ship for your own playstyle

[lone bloom]

What are we supposed to see there now

[azure fulcrum]

I mean its not any thicker than a connie

[crystal sleet]

Lol, imagine hiding a perseus behind a hammerhead, letting large ships come in close before the perseus rises up from behind

[lone bloom]

The connie is such a bad design ngl

almost same hight as the perseus perseus has three fucking floors

and the connie has one

[azure fulcrum]

then what should I compare it to?

[azure fulcrum]

yeah old ass design

[crystal sleet]

Most of the height on the connie are from its engine nacelles though, remove the engines and stack three hulls on top of eachother and youd get the perseus

[lone bloom]

well i know

I mean the perseus has a similar layout engine wise

just that they are angled

[azure fulcrum]

I need the front view not topview sigh

[lone bloom]

Front topview

take it or leave it

https://tenor.com/view/3take-it-or-leave-it-three-take-it-or-leave-it-sbs-patrick-gif-15037514

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-cat-meme-suck-bottle-gif-11819284309925704146

[lone bloom]

Perseus just shows how badly designed most ships are in terms of space usage

Hammerhead being the prime example

[crystal sleet]

Thus the Perseus gets another win for "The Ship Of All Time"

[lone bloom]

Also another thing I also already told @humble anvil

Since the perseus releases at IAE

It won't compete this year against Idris or Polaris at the best ship of the year thing

and will be pretty much alone next year

So very good chances it will winn

Unless people cope on the pioneer or 890 again

[crystal sleet]

Unless if the paladin owners get louder than us

[azure fulcrum]

IDK but the front cross section looks small to me 🤷‍♂️

good enough to approach your enemy and get in gun range

[lone bloom]

We will silence them.

There is no place for a budget perseus

[lone bloom]

Bro

"Do you have games on ya phone"

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/spacebattleshipyamato-starblazer-gif-12898464

[azure fulcrum]

its such a beautiful ship even without a skin

[crystal sleet]

Love how the bridge has sight clearance over the turret, thats a proper superstructure

[lone bloom]

Just blast them everytime we will see them, to let them feel the superiority of the Perseus Shark Fleet

[azure fulcrum]

it's fucking beautiful

[lone bloom]

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[lone bloom]

they really like that name

https://tenor.com/view/cant-see-anything-ken-jeong-ben-chang-its-so-tiny-cant-see-gif-4279507211752143591

yeah noticed it yourself

uh

[crystal sleet]

All they have to do is paste a png of the perseus where those names are and we all will know exactly what ship the perseus is

[azure fulcrum]

will we be able to name our perseus?

[lone bloom]

Probably

[crystal sleet]

Gotta wait till they introduce universal ship naming

[lone bloom]

But will once again locked behind paywall probably aswell

Can't wait for people to name their ships after unidentified ships

[azure fulcrum]

probably be reserved for the OG concept pledgers

[lone bloom]

so even if you scan them they appear unidentified

[azure fulcrum]

or concierge people 🤮

[lone bloom]

So far I know its an extra token you have to purchase ?

[azure fulcrum]

it is really?

I never heard of that

[lone bloom]

I mean only specific ships have that

But dunno

I'm still waiting for the ingame earnable skins they promised years ago

[azure fulcrum]

what do they mean by " shrinking program"

[lone bloom]

Perseus got decommissioned

[crystal sleet]

Some ships like the 890 and 600i had tokens iirc, other namable ships were allowed tto be named because it was a promotional by cig

[lone bloom]

Hammerhead was supposed to replace it

in naval fleets

But because of the UEES Achilles killing two vanduul destroyers on its own (without shields)

They decided to keep it in the fleets and upgrade it

[azure fulcrum]

ah so it isn't decommissioned anymore in the UEE

so with other words there is a military variant?

[lone bloom]

It was, till the Achilles (a perseus) killed two way larger way heavier gunned vanduul destroyers, showing the potential

[azure fulcrum]

because the percy we got is the CDF militia variant

[crystal sleet]

Only the mk1 was military, the mk2 is purpose built for civilian and militia use

[lone bloom]

The one we will get IS the upgraded military variant

[azure fulcrum]

huh

[lone bloom]

The original Perseus had no shields

It relied fully on armor

[crystal sleet]

Considering the vanduul uses plasma weaponry, the achilles mustve had some seriously dense and thick armour

[azure fulcrum]

they call it the civilian model perseus tho

[lone bloom]

"Following Perseus success against the Vanduul, RSI expanded development to include a civilian version under the Militia Mobilization Initiative.[3] The new Perseus, equipped with modernized weapons and a redesigned lower deck that could accommodate cargo vehicles[2] was released on day 9 of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2950 [4] event."

[azure fulcrum]

militia is civilian...

[lone bloom]

yeah but the percy that the navy used prior

was weaker

[azure fulcrum]

its part of the Civilian Defense Force

yeah I know but I thought you said it's still in use in the UEE as well

I'm just wondering if there is a different UEE military variant

[lone bloom]

It is probably still in use

But i doubt there is a specific military variant

[azure fulcrum]

but probably the old one without shields lol

[lone bloom]

Nah I think they got fully decomissioned

and replaced with the modernized variant

But we don't know since the lore stops at the concept phase of the newer one

[azure fulcrum]

yeah after reading the brochure there seems to be only 1 perseus and no variant

[crystal sleet]

There could be a perseus museum ship somewhere if cig decides to lore it in

[lone bloom]

That would be cool lol

Like in an RSI Headquarters (if they even have one)

[crystal sleet]

Just a static mk1 perseus

[azure fulcrum]

UEES Achilles was damaged but it still exists probably

[lone bloom]

Nope

Damaged beyond repair

[crystal sleet]

Thered be a traffic jam of perseus owners taking a pilgrimage to the museum ship

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but it can still be in a museum

[lone bloom]

With their perseuses*

[azure fulcrum]

I just know CIG why not take the opportunity to make variants and a military one to get more money

it seems very likely

[crystal sleet]

Itd be blasphemous and insulting to their ships if they didnt take their ships with them

[crystal sleet]

Thus the "Overdrive Initiative" token for the Perseus

[lone bloom]

That would indicate that there has to be something "like" a Perseus MK2 and honestly from how the Perseus is rn, its already an EXTREMELY strong ship for a 2-3 person crew

Do you really wanna make it even stronger than it already is? xD

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that could happen

[crystal sleet]

Yes, GIVE IT ANOTHER FORWARD TURRET IN A SUPERFIRING SETUP

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

make a beam variant

[humble anvil]

I want Quad S8 Top Turret, and get rid of the Bottom Turret

[azure fulcrum]

and a railgun military variant with S4 dual remote turrets

[lone bloom]

Quad S8 would probably look ugly tho

But tripple S8...

https://tenor.com/view/battleship-gif-26936399

[azure fulcrum]

hmm idk

[crystal sleet]

I hope they add in a smoke trail for the guns, imagine seeing our shells streak out to the target

[lone bloom]

Also your turret gunner has to sit somewhere and see outside

[lone bloom]

hold on that gives me also a great idea

[azure fulcrum]

I'm down for variants tbh

[lone bloom]

We got 2 counter measures right?

What if they would add a third

A smoke thing

[azure fulcrum]

look at other ships there is bound to be a variant happening for perseus at some point

[lone bloom]

Like that from captain harlock

[crystal sleet]

Itll be way in the future, keeping us hungry for more and our appetite to fester

[lone bloom]

and it temporarily causes you to become invisible to radar completely, and also obviously because of said smoke to the naked eye

[azure fulcrum]

yeah maybe next year

[crystal sleet]

It would have to be a double edged sword then, like being unable to fire through the smoke or else the smoke spreads away, or you cant target through the smoke either

[lone bloom]

We will feast on it, strengthen our bound with the perseus, we will be one with it, and crush our enemies

[crystal sleet]

The dreadnaught class, mmmmmm yeeee

[crystal sleet]

We will study the blade and the "blade", then we will study the blade mk2

[lone bloom]

Well ye but could be used for recharging your shields, while not having to NAV away (which would be hard with a perseus either way)

or having a short pause to do quick repairs

or to flee lol

could be used in many ways

OR hear me out - one perseus flies first towards the target, having that smoke activated

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/wowsl-world-of-warships-flix-detonation-jake-detonated-nautical-sauces-gif-4615835158771474913

[lone bloom]

while other ships or other percy fly inside of said smoke

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/harlock-harlock-space-pirate-arcadia-anime-movie-space-pirate-captain-harlock-gif-10710674471077017545

[lone bloom]

Like, it appears just to be one, but once they get close enough they fly out of the smoke and suddenly there are 3 percy

Also we have to plot plans, what if the percy loses to any other ship in the ship showdown thing?

Will that particular ship be KOS then?

[lone bloom]

why does that UI look so cursed, is that the mobile variant?

[crystal sleet]

Its the mobile/console version

[azure fulcrum]

I heard rumors of a ares beam weapon variant

[lone bloom]

would be sick ngl

[azure fulcrum]

by the hangar link guy who talked to a dev

[lone bloom]

Even if it would be a shit weapon

but it would look cool

[azure fulcrum]

yeah it would be fucking amazing

[lone bloom]

Year of the beam literally

[azure fulcrum]

we need more beam weapons also for percy

[lone bloom]

we got beam FPS weapons

now we get beam ship weapons

[azure fulcrum]

initially the singe were hitscan weapons on the defender

but then we got all this bullshit talk about it being too OP and cig got rid of the hitscan

but now hitscan is back baby

[lone bloom]

Hitscan?

[azure fulcrum]

beam weapon = eye / cyclops "year of the beam weapon"

yeah ares beam variant is gonna be a thing

[azure fulcrum]

yeah beam instantly hits a target it has unlimited velocity

[lone bloom]

Its still funny Ares is baby Perseus

Paladin is Mini Perseus

Oh god

Did you guys notice the PTU buff of the Idris main S7 turret?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPvTcpEVbQ

8:45

Please same firerate on the perseus CIG?!

[azure fulcrum]

what the fuck first the capacitor buff and now cooling buff

[azure fulcrum]

thats sick wow

[lone bloom]

Imagine how fast a polaris would die to this

[azure fulcrum]

yeah the projectile speed is going to be similar if not worse than the idris gun

[lone bloom]

Its fine i guess

[azure fulcrum]

fuck that looks sooooo cool

[lone bloom]

I mean you dont wanna hit fighters with it

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but I wish I could lol

[lone bloom]

The ships its meant to kill will not be able to avoid it

[azure fulcrum]

idris turret has dual s7 guns?

[lone bloom]

Yep

Perseus is dual 8

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that is for certain

[azure fulcrum]

I mean if the rotation speed is anything like that dual s7 turret.. it's gonna be brutal

even with the low velocity projectiles it could still hit smaller ships then because of the tracking

[lone bloom]

Probably will nerf it down again lol

[azure fulcrum]

yeah true

[lone bloom]

Buffed by 80% is crazy

I think they will reduce it to 50%

[azure fulcrum]

they removed autoaim for the idris beam? 😹

[lone bloom]

And meanwhile the ares ion here being able to shoot 5 bullets while that turret there shoots 20 in the same time

[lone bloom]

Was never supposed to have it in the first place

Said yogi

[azure fulcrum]

lol

well at least its a lot harder to hit fighters.. but not impossible

[lone bloom]

You aint doing shit In an idris against fighters rn

Even if crewed

Few days ago scared of two idrises with 3 people in f7cs lol

One was a solo idris M the other was a crewed idris P

And both had 0 Chance

Simply becausw the bullet speeds are too slow to hit fighters aslong they stay 500-2000m away they will just shred your shields

And once back ramp is open try to Board you

Fighter meta will probably stay like now until actual armor is there sadly

[humble anvil]

holy shit

the S7 idris cannons are so cool

Perseus will be beautiful

hmmm

so this is interesting

S6 Ballistic half t50 fire rate = 3400 Alpha.
S7 Ballistic with 100 fire rate = 2300 Alpha.

im scared

because if the S6 Ballistics got 100 fire rate, it would put the alpha at 1700.
and if that same ballistic got put to S7 it should be 2550 alpha but its not.. its 2300 Alpha.

kind of tells me again that they quite literaly throw darts at numbers and thats how they choose

so Perseus could come out slightly better than the S7 equivalent and way more inefficient

or be relative on its fire rate, and size in comparison to other sizes and fire rate.

not to mention the lack of ammunition ... lol

[crystal sleet]

they could just stick with the bespoke nature and just increase firepower in exchange for firerate

[cursive drum]

The Polaris gun shoots twice ad fast and has similar Alpha, it is just better than the Idrises guns.

[crystal sleet]

You know what they could do instead of a museum ship? The equivelant to a concrete battleship, weld the mk1 perseus into the side of a station or gound city fortification while keeping the weapons and basic functions of the ship online

[lone bloom]

Polaris Pilot lost the access to the main turret RIP Perseus Pilot controlled main turret

[crystal sleet]

Lmao, they reverted that? What about the copilot, do they still have access?

[lone bloom]

did the copilot ever had access to it lol?

What does the copilot do in a polaris either way in the first place

[crystal sleet]

Yeah the copilot had access to it like the pilot

[lone bloom]

[crystal sleet]

The copilot manages the hangar, dedicated buttons on the dash to open/closd hangar, deploy those blast shields/ballistic cover, and use the camera to watch the hangar

Don't know if its been said, the "50 scu" cargo bay is probs 48, split over 6x4x2 grid that can take 3 16 scu crates, approximately the area of an ursa minus the height, the extra 2 that exists for seemingly no reason could be slots in the bay for loading the guns.

[lone bloom]

You... saw him in half?

Oh no

Perseus will also use S3 components

[heady escarp]

Isn't Perseus an oversized Zeus mk Mr?

[lone bloom]

No?

MR is specialized for bounty hunting and has stasispods, EMP and Quantum Snare, Perseus has none of those

(just ignoring that we will be able to put stasispods probably on cargogrid)

[heady escarp]

According to this image, how many Perseus can we fit on top of Bengal or Pegasus?

[steel thistle]

4 maybe 6

actually

let’s call it 3

or 2.5

the bengal bridge is pretty fat

[heady escarp]

I can sleep on my Perseus which will be stationed on a Bengal stationed on a space station

[steel thistle]

if you can find a bengal yes

[heady escarp]

You underestimate how many oil princes we have in this game

[steel thistle]

the bengal has never been sold

nobody owns one

[heady escarp]

Yeah, I have faith

[steel thistle]

the Bengal was always planned to never be for players, with the exception of restoring or building one using shipyards at player owned/made space stations

which will likely take 40+ people to even make a space station and keep it safe from other players

highly endgame and large org scale activity

there won’t just be bengals lying around

[lone bloom]

2 and 3 if you place them probably really close

[steel thistle]

you could get them way closer than that!!!

[lone bloom]

Thats why i said 3

But looking at the hangar entrance in the front

[steel thistle]

yes

[lone bloom]

I'm pretty sure there will fit way more perseus into the actual hangar

aslong its high enough, but its surely wide enough

There won't be any use case for the bengal either way other than clashing with other orgs probably

[heady escarp]

space selfies

[wooden trench]

Are you even trying? Tip to tail sideways you'll fit more. And iirc they said the hanger is big enough to fit an idris, but I dont know if that was volume wise or if it'll actually fin inside

[lone bloom]

"Are you even trying" - no.

Big enough to fit an idris???

[heady escarp]

Idris can go inside a Bengal??

[lone bloom]

No.

like - not even close

A Polaris may fit tho

[heady escarp]

Ah big back

[lone bloom]

But why would you bring a Idris or Polaris if you got a bengal in the first place

[heady escarp]

Obviously same reason why kids bring their parents at school, to avoid bullying

[lone bloom]

Honestly, I assume both to get bullied

at least in the current meta

[heady escarp]

At least now we know Perseus can fit inside

So that means 3 outside and maybe 2 inside?

[wooden trench]

"An Idris can be fit in the hangar of the Bengal practically, but can't fly it in."
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/15410-Around-The-Verse

So it is a cavernous hanger, but it can't actually fly in

[lone bloom]

I assume pretty much way more percy would fit into the interior hangar since the Bengal is almost hallow from the inside because of its huge hangar

In other words: The Hangar entrance isn't big enough :p

Aka the "neck"

Since the entrance is a huge tunnel lol

[wooden trench]

Also that article is from before the idris sized up, so probably doubly won't fit now

[wooden trench]

Save fuel. Gotta skimp pennies to keep them running

[lone bloom]

Either way, original question was if perseus will fit / how many - they will, plenty of them

[lone bloom]

Safe fuel.... .-.

I think if you are able to build a Bengal from stretch

Your least worry is fuel costs

[heady escarp]

I will fit my pisces inside a Perseus inside a Bengal inside a space station

[lone bloom]

Docked on a space station*

[heady escarp]

True

[humble anvil]

why

[lone bloom]

Monthly report

[humble anvil]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[steel sparrow]

Wait until they give us "Various ships continue to progress through white and grey box" for ship section

and proceed to talk about how they fix a graphic error on the towel using 3 paragraphs

[lone bloom]

[steel thistle]

yes

[humble anvil]

Increased Idris alpha damage to meet S7 damage weapon standards 2306 to 6750

[crystal sleet]

For the idris? Damn, the s8 seems to be becoming even heavier hitters

[humble anvil]

WITH A FIRE RATE OF 100

WHAT THE FUCK

@lone bloom

[steel thistle]

the ballistic cannon?

[humble anvil]

yes

[steel thistle]

🔥

it was buns

[humble anvil]

Perseus about to have 10k Alpha per gun

[steel sparrow]

Since it's bespoke wont they just make it have the same damage but with extra bullet velocity?

💀

[steel sparrow]

S7 has 300 rounds, S8 gonna have 100 rounds

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/world-of-warships-battleship-uss-missouri-enel-gif-15986744

[pine root]

Man I really want CIG to release explosive and piercing ammo along with the Perseus, that would be just perfect

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[pine root]

[lone bloom]

There are no armor piercing nor explosive rounds in the first place

[pine root]

But they could make them, let a man dream

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-obi-wan-kenobi-maybe-some-day-someday-one-day-gif-26036494

Maybe the "normal ballistic" is supposed to be armor piercing

[pine root]

That's a point for sure

[lone bloom]

But cant imagine He rounds to be hard to make then

Just add/increase aoe damage like they did with torps etc

And decrease armor pen

HE done

[humble anvil]

Ammo count on ballistics is so weird. As per the first 5 sizes, ammo count goes up, same as damage, but then you reach 6,7, and it starts getting weird

[steel sparrow]

I think at some point the ammo size surpass the the ammo capacitor

[humble anvil]

I pray that Perseus will have an autoloader for the Turrets so you only have to put a few boxes in and then manually rack the turret seat

[steel sparrow]

Imagine u have to manual load it like a tank gun💀

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/jonas-jonasfoda-jonasfodaaaa-jonas123-jonas2233-gif-20571849

Lets go

But then make it hit 20 times harder

[steel sparrow]

Proceed to make it's alpha same as S0 repeaters

soooo

update when

[lone bloom]

hold up

[steel sparrow]

ye

[lone bloom]

you wanna tell me one single bullet (without the stupid 50% ballistic reduction) deals 6.75K dmg?

basically onehiting any fighter

[steel sparrow]

"2" because of the shitty shild/ 50% thingy

[lone bloom]

assuming probably that S8 will probably be around 7.xxK?

[steel sparrow]

I thought the damage goes up 2-3 times per size increased?

[lone bloom]

Its bespoken

They can do whatever they want

xD

I mean yes, usually its 2x

but that would mean perseus has 13K dmg per gun

26K per turret

[steel sparrow]

Bespoke makes weapon stronger they say,
procced to nerf the hell off every bespoke weapon

[lone bloom]

52K total damage

• pdcs + automated turrets + S5 torpedos which still can be dumbfired

[steel sparrow]

I'd say a ship without ccu that costs 600 bucks is worth that : )

[lone bloom]

Brother in christ

That thing will be an absolute Capital Killer

They went full on "nah fuck the big ships"

[steel sparrow]

How much damage does the exodus thingy deal?

[lone bloom]

Whats the Exodus?

Spinal Mount Laser?

[steel sparrow]

ye

[lone bloom]

alot? xD

wait

bet its on erkul

nvm the K is for some reason not on erkul

but can equip the K module wow

15K damage per second on the exodus

So a single perseus turret out dps the Exodus laser

[steel sparrow]

welp

[lone bloom]

But tbf the laser has no ammunition unlike ballistic

aka cannot run out of ammo

[steel sparrow]

I mean The alpha would be high but the firate.......

[lone bloom]

Did you saw the S7 buff in terms of firerate?

lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPvTcpEVbQ

8:44

I wouldn't say thats a shit firerate

[steel sparrow]

yeah saw that

[lone bloom]

Especially for cannons

[steel sparrow]

that's a gun waiting to be nerfed

[lone bloom]

probably

But it just keeps getting buffed

[steel sparrow]

true.....

[lone bloom]

Got buffed about 80% more firerate so far I remember

I think final buff will be 50%

and perseus will be with S8 maybe 80% of what the total firerate of the conqueror will be

so 20% slower

tbf firerate buff was badly needed

[steel sparrow]

balancing got yeeted out of the window

[lone bloom]

I mean it did overheat after 8 shoots

and was slow af

with just 3K ish damage (and reduced by 50% base reduction)

1,5K damage and very slow firerate isn't balanced either I would say

even the dual S5 had more dps

[steel sparrow]

mayebe they "balacing" by giving it the turrent speed of a real life battle ship?

[lone bloom]

perhaps

for npcs doesn't matter

I mean it wouldn't impact the percy that much

you won't hit player fighters either way

and the stuff you are supposed to hit will be hittable even with a slow as turret

[steel sparrow]

I'm getting wet

[lone bloom]

but potential 52K alpha from the two turrets is crazy

maybe they balance it around the Hammerhead because the hammerhead has about 48K dps with all turrets

if i remember correctly lol

[steel sparrow]

oh

that "makes sense"

[lone bloom]

HH is dps wise very crazy

its just bad because of the bullet speeds

and crew requirement

and shield capacity

and Interior

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-he-is-already-dead-stop-gif-5552043

Those were per gun, not per turret, right?(the dps)

[steel sparrow]

big ships are in a bad place anyway

[lone bloom]

so its 1.774x X 4 right?

[steel sparrow]

per turret yea

[lone bloom]

42.576 DPS

• Missiles

with all turrets in use

So would make sense for the percy to have potential 52K DPS with the main turrets then?

[steel sparrow]

maybe with the S5 torps

[lone bloom]

I do not count those into those dps xd

Didn't on the HH either

HH would be a great ship for what its supposed to do if it would have higher bullet speeds

and maybe a third shield

because why the fuck has it the same shields as a C2

But either way the Size 8 Upgunn for the percy means for me that they plan to make it a capital killer, and not sub cap killer anymore

How many HP do Polaris Engine have?

[steel sparrow]

Is S8 confirmed?

[lone bloom]

30K the smaller ones 50K the main ones?

[lone bloom]

Yes

[steel sparrow]

ah alr

[lone bloom]

Got mentioned in an bar citizens

That they upgunned the S7 to S8

and that the planned release is IAE

So basically same as Polaris, just with a year less dev time

Since the ship is basically just half as big

[lone bloom]

Perseus will eat those to breakfast with 52K DPS

Even with 50% reduction

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/spacebattleshipyamato-starblazer-gif-12898464

what the s8 medusas will feel like

[steel sparrow]

maybe not dps

but alpha

[lone bloom]

Bet still that they named it purposly Medusa

Since... Perseus killed Medusa.... and used her head as weapon against others...

So... a Hammerhead tanks 31 bullets from the S7

Polaris small engine 23 - Polaris main engine 26

[steel sparrow]

yeah

[lone bloom]

If Yeetmaster is correct with that it will be 2x-3x as powerfull on the percy since S8... 15 bullets to kill a Hammerhead, 13 to kill a polaris main engine

and that will probably become way worse once that 50% base reduction is gone

So once Perseus releases its literally whale hunting season

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-harlock-albator-gif-11543484782277403341

[lone bloom]

And all that firepower just with having 3 people

[steel sparrow]

Me struggling to get even 2

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/palpatine-star-wars-gif-15911341

[lone bloom]

I mean "you" are one of those three aren't you xD

so you only need to find 2

[steel sparrow]

: (

[lone bloom]

and aslong a player Idris or Polaris is only ghostcrewed or also has no escort...

One gunner will probably work fine aswell

Just tailchasing it and destroying one engine after the other

[crystal sleet]

hell, maybe you can just dump all your s5 torps into the engines and get an operational kill on an idris

[lone bloom]

or that

Perseus and Harbringer the only two ships that will be able to dumbfire torps

[steel sparrow]

dumb firing doesn't work anymore T_T

[lone bloom]

Yep

At least not with S9 or bigger

[steel sparrow]

S5 still can?

[lone bloom]

S1-S4 Missiles can

and S5-S8 Torps can

S9-S12 not

[steel sparrow]

letsssssssssss goooooooooooooo

[lone bloom]

Pretty sure thats to avoid Polaris onehitting Idrises

[crystal sleet]

sounds about right

[lone bloom]

Since they can just fly behind the Idris, send a torp in its back ramp

component kill the reactor

pretty much softkilling it, and that won't be possible with that anymore, unless said polaris kills all pdcs first from the IDris

and then does somehow manage to dumbfire it from a 3km range

Or uses lockon from idk whats the minimum S10 range? 5km?

Polaris finally forced into its actual usage. Torping from the distance.

Also probably one perseus turret without the ability to restock it won't be able to softkill a Polaris lmao

2.1 max damage with the Idris turret

Polaris has 2.9 mil HP(?)

[steel sparrow]

They should buff the fire rate of the torps so the pdcs wont just go brrrrt

[lone bloom]

You mean the speed?

Since Polaris and Idris can shoot 4 at once

Perseus can shoot two at once

The issue is probably if the PDC's kill one, they kill if they are next at each other because of the explosion radius

[crystal sleet]

it still looks like the Perseus might haev four tubes total, two per magazine

[lone bloom]

there is only one hole shown?

(on both sides obv)

unless on the top is another one

good that I have a 3D model waaiit

[crystal sleet]

the hole above the tube we can see

[lone bloom]

There is none ontop

[crystal sleet]

a lol

[lone bloom]

There are thrusters

(at least it looks like thrusters)

[crystal sleet]

thought it was a tube hatch

it might just be a vent

[lone bloom]

Tbf who will use those torps either way

[crystal sleet]

me lol

[lone bloom]

Except for PvP situations

How do we tell him that its the most armored ship up to its class?

[crystal sleet]

bros a connie traditionalist lol

[lone bloom]

"glass cannon"

probably will have 2x-3x the HP from a HH

[crystal sleet]

nearly getting capital ship HP, but a lightly armoured capital ship

[lone bloom]

He is

"nearly one pass a HH with a Dromeda"

I wanna see that

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/haramusa-haramusa-ultimate-haramusa-zzz-haramusa-zenless-zone-zero-gif-14828023580795896494

[lone bloom]

Because I can't with full attritions

[crystal sleet]

probably finished off a HH that was already damaged

[lone bloom]

and with shields down

and then again.... Connie might still get a big nerf

[crystal sleet]

gets nerfed to make way for the next Connie generation

[lone bloom]

And with Armor coming soontm Perseus is pretty futureproof in terms of that since heavy armor confirmed...

Connie might be the literal glass cannon

Might be the nerf for the connie

not taking its guns

but giving it shit armor

for its size

[crystal sleet]

considering the hull doesnt appear to have any armour at all, its basically the frame

[lone bloom]

Yeah that would make more sense ngl

Thing more build like a bigger cutlass

Meanwhile Perseus build like:

https://tenor.com/view/ruthless-warship-gif-25562945

[crystal sleet]

the Perseus is the beginning of the Space Battleships

[lone bloom]

Technically polaris and Idris is tho

hm nvm technically Idris is just a flying hangar

and Polaris a torpedo boat

Polaris is the fucking submarine

[crystal sleet]

a submarine that cant sink properly lol

[lone bloom]

We will teach it to sink

[crystal sleet]

Spaceshield

Didn't last long i guess

[crystal sleet]

nah, it had no chance against a weapon that teleports solar flare tier fire

[lone bloom]

just keep reading the comments... many told him its not a glass cannon but pretty much the opposite

[crystal sleet]

he might just be coping because he couldnt pledge it in time

[lone bloom]

ALso memeing on people saying it won't kill a polaris 1v1

even a Hammerhead 1v1 a polaris lmao

[crystal sleet]

polaris at this ppint is just a training capital ship for crew management and coordination

[lone bloom]

even a F7C can kill a polaris if dedicated enough

At least pre armor i guess

[lone bloom]

Its a torpedo boat, nothing more nothing less

great for distance firing at capitals or taking out smaller pirate groups thats it

Guess the biggest appeal for the Perseus is either way the design/look of it (stardestroyer go brr) and the very low crew requirement

[steel sparrow]

Polaris is a oversized butt plug with alota boom in it

Lol if they say anything about Perseus upscaling , upgrade options or other imma buhhhst

If it's just; Perseus interior still WIP, I'll be happy

She be coming

[lone bloom]

Upscaling

but gets an Armory or medbay

[humble anvil]

I don't want it but upscaling meaning guns officially going up up

Ping me if anything pops up. Gtg back to work

[grave canyon]

don't need more

plus they will almost surely give us a way to restock ammo within the ship

[lone bloom]

Confirmed to be a way to do so

Question is just a matter of when, just like everything

[grave canyon]

100 rounds per gun is 4m alpha kek

in total with both turrets

that's plenty of damage

if s8's end up being 10k

[humble anvil]

Imagine if the Perseus is the first ship to get high explosive ammunition

[solid anvil]

The best close air support becomes the Perseus lol

Can finally kill infantry

[humble anvil]

AC1 Perseus above

Basically big fat grenade launcher rounds

Especially for the bottom turret

[lone bloom]

Would be such a fat big bitch slap against the TAC

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/avion-plane-ac130-transformers-gif-18851142

[solid anvil]

Something tells me the tac will be getting MANY bitch slaps in its future

[lone bloom]

Well the TAC is simply bad for the general game

Utility wise sure its great, it has a med bed, but who needs a fury hangar or dual S5 turrets that can only shoot towards the ground lol

It will be probably one of those ships that nobody is gonna purchase ingame, and only people who actually pledged for it will use it

[solid anvil]

Yeah most definitely lol

Unless they make gameplay specifically for it

Which I still think they should find a way to do, like ground vehicles

We need sam sites at ground bases, with bunkers or ground turrets to fight lol

The RSI Perseus continued through greybox ready for its gate review early this month.

@lone bloom

Nice

[lone bloom]

So

Its... almost done?

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-party-get-the-party-started-whoop-whoop-woot-woot-gif-13553754737456738195

So only stuff thats missing is animation (if that isn't already included in greybox which probably is), texturing(?) and pretty sure lights and balancing

[crystal sleet]

Was that from the last monthly?

[humble anvil]

it has its interiors laid out, if it gets approved then it will get detailed

[lone bloom]

no last month was it is entering greybox

now its leaving greybox

[humble anvil]

ye

[lone bloom]

lol

[humble anvil]

if gate review is approved it moves out of greybox

[lone bloom]

1 month for the entire greybox phase

did they took redbull or something?

[humble anvil]

and into -detailing mode-

[lone bloom]

if they continue in that speed it will be way sooner done than IAE

But probably still won't get it before IAE because of Marketing

[lone bloom]

Doesn't that happen all in whitebox? ^^

and greybox is detail stuff

Pretty sure whitebox was the general layout, sizes, and rough structure

and greybox is detailing stuff

[humble anvil]

white is simple shapes

[lone bloom]

and pioneer still whitebox lmao

[humble anvil]

all we know is rn is that if it gets approved, we might see it at citizzencon

which would throw a wrench in my chain plans

https://tenor.com/view/toy-toys-eyes-pop-eye-pop-gif-10130852510720844219

[crystal sleet]

Perhaps theyre using a different developement management to do the perseus? Thats why it got through so fast. That, or i was right about the perseus taking as long if not shorter than the hammerheads developement

[lone bloom]

still confusing to me that the Apollo and Perseus are progressing at the same speed almost

it will be shorter than the Hammerhead - hammerhead had no prior kit to use

[crystal sleet]

Maybe theyre sharing more than the engine nacelles between the ships

inb4 we enter the perseus and our fucking frames die

[lone bloom]

CHROBERRTTTSSS!!!!

[crystal sleet]

The Perseus was truely a gateway into Neo RSI design lol

[lone bloom]

naaah even worse you can go into it and do everything

but once you sit down on the pilot seat

and the MFDs start, your pc crashes

Also - I am very happy that they used the people from the ironclad to help out the invictus people and not the people from the perseus

[crystal sleet]

Or what if they give it the wrong flight model, like it either flies like a gladius or it flies like a bengal in atmosphere lol

[lone bloom]

Cope it will be a gladius flight model

Don't see anything wrong with that

[crystal sleet]

Eh, im hoping for a heavy hammerhead FM

[lone bloom]

But imagine how hard we could annoy idrises and polarises for the time being

freaking dodging their bullets with a 110 meter warship while taking their engines out

also that nobody of you guys posted the apollo sneakpeak lol

[crystal sleet]

God, it would be so funny being little shits in a fleet battle

[lone bloom]

I mean at least it looks like the apollo

[crystal sleet]

That looks so good

[lone bloom]

they did not specify its the apollo but it is absolutely lol

[crystal sleet]

A personal mobile New Babbage/ Orison hospital

[lone bloom]

literally just a random picture in between of the text without any talk about the picture lmao

[crystal sleet]

Thats an RSI door there

[lone bloom]

well its the layout too

one medical room to the left

one to the right

with glass walls

100% the apollo lol

also cannot be a enviromental stationariy hospital.... since its undecorated... they only do that on ships currently

the shelfes are empty

[crystal sleet]

Hopefully the apollo comes out sooner than the perseus, because that means more people on the perseus, and we get a early sneakpeek at what the perseus would look like ingame with the apollo

[lone bloom]

Well apollo is obviously slightly faster/further than the percy

I suspect it will release like 2 months earlier than the percy

also, since that there is a greybox picture... since thats how far the apollo is, I was correct that Greybox is indeed the detailing phase (and seems to also include lights and texture lol) @humble anvil

[humble anvil]

hang on

[lone bloom]

" dynamic lighting"

Why do they keep trying to copy global illumination or raytracing?

Instead of trying to implement stuff like raytracing? .-.

[crystal sleet]

Maybe their plans for optimisation doesnt do well with implementing off the shelf raytracing

Idk how the graphics stuff works

[lone bloom]

has to be a literal fps hell to do that instead

or raytracing is very very down the line

[crystal sleet]

Both sound very likely considering you need a pretty good pc to even get decent frames consistently

[lone bloom]

I mean there is nothing more important in games than lights

[lone bloom]

You need a pretty good pc to play SC without stutters in the first place

[lone bloom]

Also me in the starlancer changing the lights in every room because i hate the 'standart stock lights' and prefer the blueish ones

I mean my 4080 has stutters, at least in cities

[crystal sleet]

Here i am wondering if a 1660 super is still good enough

(In reality i need to upgrade my cpu considering it was built for csgo level games)

[lone bloom]

Thats the weird thing about SC

You need a NASA PC to play it above 60+ fps (in cities)

but somehow low end/mid end pcs can still somehow play 30-40 fps in cities

[crystal sleet]

Exactly my situation. But its not like you even need 30 fps to be around a city. Headaches sure, but youre not in a combat situation

[lone bloom]

Or they literally have to give all cities a massive rework - i mean - I am running on max settings 4K 200 FPs in space, meanwhile in cities it drops partially down to 40- most of the times 80

[lone bloom]

(just saying 3000 series are cheap and good)

Asus RTX 3080 434€

Unless you want AMD there i have no clue about the pricing, potentially way less lol

but on AMD you can forget anything AI related like raytracing or huge upscaling

Funfact, my BF plays on a laptop with a 1060 and still gets 40-50 fps in SC

[crystal sleet]

Lol, seems like no new 3080s are available in au, though the gigabyte 4060 is going for like 400 aud

[lone bloom]

4060 is only recommendet for complete new PC builds tho

but 4000 series are currently either way expensive AF

[crystal sleet]

Oo, found a geforce 3060 for 469

[lone bloom]

Because so far i know they don't get produced anymore (because of the 5000 series)

but because people don't want the 5000 they keep buying the 4000 the price increases

[crystal sleet]

Dont got money though, maybe in a few months

[lone bloom]

glad I got a 4080 just a month prior before that happened

Bought a MSI RTX 4080 Suprim X for 1200€

now it costs 1700€

why tf am i getting u a perseus when you can clearly buy yourself one >:C

Priorities

[crystal sleet]

Lmao

[humble anvil]

Good on you

[lone bloom]

I needed it for my work, secondly that was like 70% of all my savings of 3 years

and only got it because my prior GPU said "Byeeeeee"

I mean, those heatsticker things that connect the plate with the heatsinks literally melted

[crystal sleet]

Ah the heat pads

[lone bloom]

ye

they were completely burned

was a 2060 super, had uh i think 8 heat pads on it

3 of them were literally non existent at that point

and the others were 'just one blob'

[crystal sleet]

Either something got shorted or itvwas somehow overvolted?

[lone bloom]

more like because the GPU was 6 years old

[crystal sleet]

Ah

[lone bloom]

And I tend to use them till they die

Since I don't wanna spend my money i saved for my driver licence

And now i had to

[crystal sleet]

I mean, thats how you get the most out of "planned obsolescence" lol

[lone bloom]

I mean was still better that it happened at that moment than now

Since now the prices are even more insane

I mean

Thats how much a 4090 did cost

[humble anvil]

im not mad with a 7900 GRE

but def should have waited

sure alot of games dont have FSR 4 in them but dude its gooooood

at a time when the prices were 300 over msrp easily... i yoinked this

but now they're slowly coming back down lol... but even the old 7800 xt's at 700$

[lone bloom]

'old' isn't it still one of their flagships?

[humble anvil]

7800 xt is still good

[lone bloom]

So was my 2060

before

tf

9070xt only 16gb too

[lone bloom]

Yeah that they are trying to give current gen gpus the minimum of gb is kinda akward

5000 series also only have 16

[lone tundra]

It's been fine tbh, even driving 4k stuff at max settings

[lone bloom]

Me too with a 4080

Still could've been 24 gigs

especially for the prices they want

[lone tundra]

yeah, but they're pricing the 5080 as the upper-mid range now and pricing most people out of the 5090s

[lone bloom]

Wouldn't call 1000+bucks "mid range"

600 bucks would be 'upper'-mid

[lone tundra]

It'd be a relative scale and mine is screwed since I always start from the highest end and work down because I demand the best

Unfortunately the disparity is just massive now and it's annoying, 5080 still struggles targeting 4k 120 at max settings for a lot of stuff

[reef wind]

Watch cig make the front of the ship round instead just out of spite
