Perseus Pals

[lone bloom]

Even older ones 12

[crystal sleet]

black ops 2 is still 80 fucking dollars on steam

i dont got console

[lone bloom]

Meanwhile Mario kart 8 costs still 50+

[lone bloom]

Yeah there is the issue - steam

I buy on keyshops

[crystal sleet]

sorry, $95 AUD

[lone bloom]

There its 80% less

[crystal sleet]

ive never tried buying at keyshops (i actually didnt know they existed till now lmao)

[lone bloom]

Pretty much exclusively buy on keyshops

They are always at least 10% less even at launch

[crystal sleet]

are they safe?

[lone bloom]

The ones I use yes xD

[crystal sleet]

ooh, G2A

[lone bloom]

There are also grey area stuff

I mean you surely already heard of Instantgaming or MMOGA^^

for example Expedition 33 is just a month or two old

42% less than on steam 28.83 bucks

Think on steam its 50

[crystal sleet]

holy fucking shit, 20 bucks for bo2???

[lone bloom]

I don't see black ops 2 there? for me its sold out xD

[lone bloom]

Yeah I don't know G2a

[lone bloom]

I only use those two

[crystal sleet]

also theres stock?

[lone bloom]

But both don't have BO2 anymore because its too old

and prob don't get the keys anymore from steam

[crystal sleet]

oh right

oooh, its an account thats got the game

[lone bloom]

It purely depends on WHERE you buy xD

In both cases its still over the steam launcher

you just simply pay less

I don't know how those websites do that, probably buy keys from steam in huge masses and steam gets x% of the sales while they can sell it for less, but since more people buy over steam itsself steam can grab two groups of players those who wait till its reduced in price and those who pay instantly full price

[crystal sleet]

makes sense, i just didnt realise they were literally just greymarkets

[lone bloom]

I don't think those two I mentioned are greymarkets

But there are some that are

Since Instantgaming for example makes actively advertisement on Youtube / twitch

Yeah just googled it, they get keys from legal sources so its fully legal, not even grey

[crystal sleet]

forgot to specify the way pricing works lol, goes WAY up with low stock

[lone bloom]

So - my point still stands, Nintendo sucks xD

Since every other game from any other company you can get at least on keyshops massively reduced in price

But Nintendo games are still highly exclusive and mostly only sold by Nintendo themselfes which never go down in price

Probably that exclusivity is the only thing that justified their prices and keeps them afloat

I mean

[crystal sleet]

damn thats cheap

[lone bloom]

tbf GTA 5 was also free for a very short time

at Epic Games

Thats why I said Rockstar is surely the only company that isn't as cash grabby as all others yet

(In the tripple A area)

[crystal sleet]

i suppose, but im stil mad at them for taking ages to fix exploits and non modded god modes, instead they targetted money dupers and nerfing heist payouts

they added EAC literally early last year

[lone bloom]

Well - yes - thats shit and probably will stay like that - but you can still get pretty much everything without having to cash in every few months

Unlike - every other game

Looks at Seasonpass - Premium and even fucking deluxe season pass - ingame pay only stores - ingame fucking gambling stuff (looks at Fifa)

(tbf I don't mind seasonpasses, aslong there isn't a 'deluxe' extra pass ontop of it like COD does)

[crystal sleet]

would you include microsoft and playstations online access subscriptions to that too?

[lone bloom]

With Microsoft I assume you mean the Xbox online access

Well - absolutely xD Since you're paying already for the internet... and then you pay just to get access to the online service? just fucked up xD

Thats why I don't have a konsole

Depending on for how long you use a konsole its even more expensive than just getting a PC

[crystal sleet]

ive had an xbox since 2015 to 2020. Damn it felt good not having to worry about recurring payments

[lone bloom]

Laughs in 20 streaming hosters for movies and other stuff

[lone bloom]

All that money... could have been used for a second Perseus

Maybe even three

[crystal sleet]

that was too far in the future in the scheme of my canon events

wasnt even finalised in gods story board

[uneven thistle]

Got it for only $25 today

[steel sparrow]

Me trying to convince myself the original paint looks better and I don’t need it

[lone bloom]

it does

look better

Don't even have to convince myself that it looks better because I simply believe it looks better And that there will be also better skins at release either way

[tawny fern]

Bis perseus 😍

[lone bloom]

Purple black skin smh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1121113616926638131/1369802022949490718/SmashPass.gif

[uneven thistle]

I've done this for 2 years, but I like to collect things and just want all the Percy paints hahaha

I don't like the paint, I just want it anyway

[lone bloom]

Same what Xerous does

[grave canyon]

og perseus looks better

[humble anvil]

Good

The Perseus is the ship I'll probably grab all paints for

Nice to be able to change my flavor depending on what I'm doing

[lone bloom]

The only bad thing about the OG perseus would be that it looks like 'everyone else'

But maybe there will be a shark skin like the one for the Idris

[humble anvil]

Me when the Perseus when:

[lone bloom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1121113616926638131/1343518361937772635/perseus.gif

[grave canyon]

i don't particularly care

[humble anvil]

Still look sleek as fk

Wikelo paint on it going to look good as well

[lone bloom]

But that would mean you have to farm a wikelo percy

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-like-it-ace-trainer-liam-i-hate-it-gif-1915453849131524722

[humble anvil]

I ain't farming that

[lone bloom]

But isn't the wikelo paint also under 'all paints'?

So its not 'all all paints' then

[humble anvil]

No because it's not a paint

It's a whole fucking ship

I ain't farming the Wikelo varient

Waste of time

Wikelo Railgun

[lone bloom]

That one looks good tho

So - when Railgun sized wikelo sniper?

[humble anvil]

I need it

The Railgun

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/sniper-gif-13469437

[humble anvil]

Maybe drop some RNG to gamba for it

[lone bloom]

Thought they wanna go away from RNG completely

Or did that only count for ships?

[humble anvil]

So I don't think that the Wikelo Railgun is in 4.2.1

I have to check

Just like the components

[lone bloom]

I mean... what is different from that one from the normal one either way?

Just the paint, or not?

[humble anvil]

A color

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

And requirement something absurd like a Valakkar pearl

while you can get 2-4 railguns in said stations

[humble anvil]

Actually just Hathor stuff

But ye

[lone bloom]

Yeah but.... they just spawn at lazarus or at the stations before you go there

so.... its just the paint

Would be something if it would have a 20% faster charge time

Otherwise just a great trophy to set in a room soontm in basebuilding or in a ship

[steel sparrow]

What mission is that

[uneven thistle]

Fuck Wikelo

I'm not doing any of that shit until 1.0

[grave canyon]

fuck wikelo i hate aliens

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/battleship-missouri-gif-21520150

Purge the aliens with superior human weaponry and machine spirit

[lone bloom]

What Mission is what

[steel sparrow]

for the railgun

it looks dope

[lone bloom]

Not in yet

Also its literally apparantly just a skin, nothing statistically better on it

[steel sparrow]

I haven't touch a railgun sice playing this game(4 years) so yeah, I figure I try and get one XD

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/simpson-gif-25340727

Well, partially, I touched a railgun in Arena Commander because of the gungame mode

[tawny fern]

imagine the sound of the perseus s8's

[humble anvil]

Don't need to.

[tawny fern]

oh my god

[agile kayak]

Am i crazy or does that sound alot like the meteor cannons, just louder? Did they reuse the sound byte?

[crystal sleet]

So it is dual burst, thats gonna be wierd to get used to

[tawny fern]

yeah im assuming it's 1600 alpha if both shots connect

or is it 1600 per round

per shell

or 1600 per click no idea

because according to the hud view, 2 shells are being expended from the total ammo count per burst, per gun

[crystal sleet]

Thats pretty decent, id assume youd need to be a close to your target then if theres spread, depending on tye targets size

[tawny fern]

Yeah thats the other thing too. Logically, dual barrels are inherently supposed to have worse accuracy but, fictional game so who knows how it’ll work

[crystal sleet]

Thinking about it, since the barrels are so close to one another and that you wont be sniping small player sized targets, shot spread would be incredibly negligible unless id you were firing from nearly the max range of the guns

[lone bloom]

Usually it gets measured per round so far I am aware but we also never had a dual barrel gun yet (or per damage per second in terms of lasers)

so there is a good possibility its 3.2K dmg per 'click* and 6.4 per dual barrel hit from both guns maybe

But only one thing will tell soon- the good old 'shoot the gladius nose' test

@humble anvil oh no in PTU the turret health of the Idris got reduced... S7 turret only has 15K HP and gets killed by a few ballistics in literal 2-4 seconds

https://tenor.com/view/animals-with-captions-its-so-over-funny-hamster-sad-hamster-sad-animal-gif-25121828

[humble anvil]

The Gatling I thought got that last patch

Did they decrease it further? Lol

[lone bloom]

🤷‍♂️

[humble anvil]

And lmaooo RIP Idris Turret

[lone bloom]

Rip Perseus turret

Will likely only have 20K HP then

while being way larger

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

It's going to get fkn destroyed since it's the face of the Perseus

[steel sparrow]

does shields protect turret?

[lone bloom]

Yes and no

Against ballistic no, against laser yes

So ballistics can shredd turrets through shields

So you likely really really don't want to engage fighters if they have ballistics with a percy

[crystal sleet]

Im gonna guess that itll be safe to assume that most fighters will carry lasers for convenience and logistics

So the fear shouldnt be that great

Its the large ships we will need to worry about mainly

[lone bloom]

Well yea, depends on how the meta will turn out hu? I mean a Inferno could become quite.... ouchy

I mean If I know I am gonna engange a perseus or something larger with quite large turrets, I will take ballistics as fighter

since that will do the most (and only damage with armor) to most ships

[crystal sleet]

The ares are gonna be real scary when maelstrom drops, but even then youd probably be with an escort ship anyways if youre expecting ares ships

[lone bloom]

Probably, at least if you expect PvP - but the turret nerf just shows that CIG wants the fighters still to be able to badly hurt caps

not to kill them but fuckingly heavily annoy them xd

[crystal sleet]

Perhaps for now until engineering t0 (or t0.1 ?) drops

Give em a fighting chance before players need to rethink their fleet formations

Adapt, or complain and whinge on spectrum and get left behind

[lone bloom]

I mean I don't mind the way they go rn

Make Fighters be able to 'hurt' a capital but not destroy it

So there is still a reason to use them and capitals aren't just a "I winn" button

So there is an actual reason to have something with you that keeps away fighters like - well your own fighters or a HH (once she is actually usefull lmao)

[cursive drum]

CF series Repeaters?

[lone bloom]

Are they cannons?

On repeaters it makes no difference

[cursive drum]

Oh, oky.

[lone bloom]

somehow that looks 3D printed but somehow it also looks like a holomodel from IAE

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-baby-suspicious-side-eye-funny-gif-6639201701448518735

[lone bloom]

[tawny fern]

are these bespoke guns a glimpse of things to come

[cursive drum]

Unfortunatley it seems so, yes.

[tawny fern]

what do you mean unfortunately

[lone bloom]

Which guns?

[tawny fern]

the bespoke rsi guns on the meteor

[lone bloom]

Yea they bespoken ballistic

[tawny fern]

they're really strong

[lone bloom]

Kinda like the Percy

1600 dmg per shot

[tawny fern]

and go doosh doosh

just upscale them a few notches and we got perseus guns

[lone bloom]

its basically a inferno with +4 guns + alot of missiles and alot faster

Damage wise the 2 ballistic S5 are almost identically with the Inferno S7

[tawny fern]

i didnt realize the perseus guns are fast firing

[lone bloom]

"A few" ... +3 sizes

[tawny fern]

i thought they would be like battleship guns

[lone bloom]

Uh

Did you ever see the ballistic S7 of the Idris?

Thats also very rapidly firing (for a cannon)

[tawny fern]

yeah it's strange

[lone bloom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKcZzCDCx6o

[tawny fern]

they really are like destroyer/gunship guns

[lone bloom]

5:14

There you see the RPM

(and thats Size 7)

(Perseus has Size 8)

[tawny fern]

i guess i imagined traditional battleship guns

[lone bloom]

Used to be like that

[tawny fern]

like 8rpm

[lone bloom]

okay 8rpm is a bit rough but it used to be like 80% slower than in the video

[tawny fern]

real battleships are what, 3rpm?

the idris guns sound so doinky too

meteor guns have that deep bassy oomph

[lone bloom]

But no echo

[steel sparrow]

1.4RPM

but the Percy aint a "battleship" battle ship

in lore it's not even a destroyer

[tawny fern]

o yea that sounds about right

yeah its equivalent to those little gunboats

i think

[steel sparrow]

WW2 destroyer has gun that shoot 15 RPM

[lone bloom]

Well Idris is also only a corvette no?

[tawny fern]

i believe it's officially considered a frigate

huh, i guess in 2013 they advertised it as a corvette

and then it just got bigger

[lone bloom]

Fair then its probably like that : Hammerhead/Perseus Gunboat - Polaris Corvette - Idris frigate - Javelin destroyer - Bengal/Escort battleship Dreadnought and 'aircraft carrier' be like

So technically HH, Percy, and Nautilus being the smallest 'direct fleet' ships of the UEE

(not counting bombers and fighters)

[tawny fern]

yeah that sounds about right

it's just, in game you have these absolutely gargantuan ships

and then you realize wait, these are relatively small ships when we're talking about traditional naval fleets

it gets a lot bigger

[lone bloom]

I mean the normal aircraftcarrier is just 1/3 the size of a bengal

300ish meters vs 1 km

[tawny fern]

well how long does it take to run from one end of an aircraft carrier to another

irl

imagine doing that in star citizen

[lone bloom]

Depends on how fast you can run

Less than a Minute if youre fast

[tawny fern]

gonna need an a18 tram on some of these ships

[lone bloom]

Bengal has one

[tawny fern]

does it really lmao

[lone bloom]

Yeah

Lol

Im unsure but i think the Kraken too

[tawny fern]

i wonder how they'll make that work in game

[lone bloom]

I mean

Technically it should be just a sideways elevator?

[tawny fern]

i'd imagine it's probably something like how the elevators currently work yeah

[lone bloom]

Should probably even easier to Do on a straight line

[tawny fern]

yeah i see what you mean

[lone bloom]

Since it doesnt have to go through players and objects while being invisible

And just goes a straight line back and forth

Unlike the wonka elevators on stations

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-elevator-gif-19886503

[tawny fern]

yeah that's what i initially though, elevators teleporting you to a completely different part of the ship

[lone bloom]

Cig doesnt teleport thats the point xd

[tawny fern]

but one on a direct line that just travels the length of the ship sounds more plausible

when i first started playing star citizen i thought the elevators were real lol

[lone bloom]

They are in some way

[tawny fern]

then i see im traveling like 8km on a horizontal plane

[lone bloom]

Wonka elevator

I mean i dont get why they didnt just went with teleportation wouldve been thousand times easier

But it is what it is

The only issue i can imagine with the interior Tram of the bengal (or and kraken)

1. Will it be able to Transport cargo from a to b

2. Will it glitch you out of the ship while qt

I mean even the fucking staircase in the idris or just simply ladders cause you to glitch out while qt

[tawny fern]

i dont even want to think about that

what a nightmare that must be to fix

[lone bloom]

Well i mean at least in the bengal you could say that the Tram gets force stopped

Like there is a Warning that you cannot use it while the bengal is mid qt

And that the spooling of the qt takes the bengal long enough so there will be no Tram moving anymore and locked if it comes to a stop

In the end they have to find a way since the bengal has surely a Tram, and they wanna make the bengal Player ownable sooooo good luck

[cursive drum]

It would suck.

[cursive drum]

They said the Krakens could. I dunno, can the Bengals?

[lone bloom]

No you

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/star-citizen-perseus-hammerhead-ram-gif-17374513556486374363

[tawny fern]

Well

Tomorrow’s the big day

We get a taste of rsi bespoke guns

[cursive drum]

Polaris has them and they are mid. What makes you think Meteor or even Perseus will be better?

[tawny fern]

because meteor sounds cooler

objectively

and dual barrels are cooler

objectively

[humble anvil]

And I can fly around with said mediocrity that's not a fucking gargantuan pile of shit that's called the Polaris

Objectively

[tawny fern]

ding ding ding

objectively

[humble anvil]

At least the Meteor flies fast, and is just about the same size of a hornet and even without the ms speeds of projectile. 4x S3 Deadbolts, and the 2x S5 Cannons will be hilarious

Yes it doesn't have it's place in the current game environment

But ballistics are still annoying and it's enough to hit a wing, or VTOL enough to throw shit off

All that weaponry at that form factor is insane imo

Plus you could go full stealth Meteor. It's a little dumb, but you can still scope signature down, further if you turn everything off. I think Meteor is 6000 front? 12000 top

Might be 3.6 front, 6 side, 12 too

Not sure

Riddle me an idiot but

If you use stagger fire, this will be so fun

Full stealth

[tawny fern]

full ballistics should be really fun as long as you're not shooting anything small

[cursive drum]

Meteor: Shitty rock that falls out of the sky.

Polaris: The Eternal North star that guided travelers.

[cursive drum]

Proof?

[cursive drum]

It doesn’t have power for anything else.

[tawny fern]

meteor has more than enough power

literally everybody is swapping those poopy coolers out with stealth

even with repeaters it has enough power

[cursive drum]

First thing I’m doing tomorrow is making a Meteor at home with my F7A MK2. 2 Deadbolt 4s and 4 Deadbolt 3s.

[uneven thistle]

Spoiler: they are trash

Luckily we don't have to deal with the tiny S5 bespokes

[steel sparrow]

looks inside the perseus*
a slightly bigger size 5

[uneven thistle]

[lone bloom]

He may have forgotten that the F7A MKII got nerfed

[cursive drum]

Slightly worse maneuverability. Still better components.

[humble anvil]

I keep forgetting why I don't like flying small ships

Because other small ships can blow up small ships

And there's like a million of them

[cursive drum]

[heady escarp]

small ships are meant for poor people with smol budget to compensate about the reason they cant play a beautiful ship like perseus

[reef wind]

Kraken is Mechanicus fuckery and you know it

[lone bloom]

Kraken is just a better polaris

Because bigger guns and glorified cargo hauler

[reef wind]

Not even. Kraken is a mobile fortress you can land as needed. Roll out ships, troops, tanks, logistics and more. Plus it's got a train!

[lone bloom]

Well everything you can do on a polaris too

[reef wind]

Polaris is kind of a shit comparison in all fairness.

[lone bloom]

except the train part

[reef wind]

3 tanks vs 15 to 20

[lone bloom]

I am not saying its the same AS the polaris, obviously its better in every way, except as its 'drake'

[reef wind]

Drake is good

[lone bloom]

I'm just saying its like the polaris xD

[lone bloom]

Brother

Usually you don't even use one single tank

[reef wind]

I do

[lone bloom]

'usually'

you're an expection then

[reef wind]

They make nice counter to cargo haulers

[lone bloom]

Do you really need a counter as a ground vehicle

[reef wind]

Pop em on ridge near an outpost

[lone bloom]

if you have a dual S8 front turret?

Which will be very likely upgunned to S9

[reef wind]

Different style of fun

World of tanks vs world of ships

[lone bloom]

I mean I would prefer the Kraken over the Idris too myself, but I don't like any of those capitals yet so far

(Polaris being the worst one)

[reef wind]

But think, landing your perseus on the kraken as god intended

[lone bloom]

God intended to land it inside of a Bengal

[reef wind]

Bengal overrated

Too much upkeep

Too little time

[lone bloom]

But the Kraken isn't too much upkeep? XD

[reef wind]

Not at all

Bengal is about 120 or so for overall effort in terms of bodies. Kraken at most 25

[lone bloom]

Most people struggle to even crew a HH

Kraken is more than double that

(and payment wise its not worth it at all so far)

[reef wind]

This factors NPC crews but we'll see how it plays

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

[reef wind]

I'm excited either way. Slap a perseus on the deck and a few support craft

Deployable strike team

Kraken being a home point

[lone bloom]

Still hoping for a anvil kraken competitor

Basically a spaceship version of an aircraft carrier

[reef wind]

That would be preferable

[lone bloom]

I mean they are pretty close to it with the liberator

just a few changes and make it like 3x larger

Also place a dual S9 on the front maybe also one at the back so its an direct kraken competitor

Just as Anvil

[reef wind]

Railgun carrier

[lone bloom]

Nah thats covered by the Idris

Maybe Beam Guns

I mean thats also kinda covered by the Idris but not as turret

[reef wind]

Anvil needs a ground behemoth tank

I don't know why but it seems something they would do

[lone bloom]

I mean they want to make ground behemoth vehicles

I don't know why, or how but they want to lol

I mean maybe they should make the ones we have rn useable...

[reef wind]

I'll honestly take halo vehicle physics at this point

At least those were solid

[lone bloom]

If only the physics would be the issue

I mean there is just nothing to do for vehicles unless its an AA

[reef wind]

Tank has very unorthodox uses

But otherwise yeah

Not to mention terrain movement is awful rn

[lone bloom]

what, you don't like huge rocks that kill you every 3 meters?

[midnight crypt]

I’m hoping you can land a kraken on a kraken. Use both the small pads and the medium pads. If the landing gears have enough clearance for the height difference for the small to medium deck

[heady escarp]

kraken should come with tentacules,
or else its not a kraken !

[midnight crypt]

I want them to make a massive space kraken that you gotta fight. Like how the worm is but you gotta use ships instead of being on the ground. Also kraken plush

[heady escarp]

sadly one can only wish
considering how they butchered the meteor in the patch, im pretty sure they gonna do an horrible job unless they fix themselves

[tawny fern]

i bought a reclaimer thinking i could use it for the event

haha just kidding reclaimer docking port doesnt work with stations

add it to the many reasons why perseus is best

[humble anvil]

Perseus S9

Imagine if it got 6x PDC... On that form factor the PDC would be firing all the time

But I will say... The 2x S3 Shields are not enough in the current game environment

It really does need a 3rd. And older ships need brought up

I.e. Hammerhead.

[heady escarp]

No one ever plays hammerhead anymore, it's just so badly nerfed and still needs a crew

[midnight crypt]

AI blades will probably bring the hammerhead some use

But I’ll never use the hammerhead. The ship just looks like it’s upside down with the bridge being on the bottom

[lone bloom]

Just literally seen yesterday a fully crewed Player HH

[heady escarp]

one of the many rare groups nowadays

truth is most recruit via discord for play sessions like this

[lone bloom]

I mean, somehow, they were not able to kill all the ERT ships at the location...

[heady escarp]

[lone bloom]

And blocked with that the Event pickup location

[heady escarp]

they should probably take a polaris instead of an HH

[lone bloom]

Yeah i mean polaris makes bounties easy peasy lol

Main s6 turret doesnt need that long to melt a HH

[tawny fern]

Wow

Incredible image of a perseus smashing through a javelin

You love to see it

[heady escarp]

considering it should be in size between a hammerhead and a reclaimer, its safe to say that youll really need big speed to cut throught it as a cupcake

[vast lagoon]

I keep forgetting the Pegasus "exists"

[heady escarp]

there has been no updates about it for quite some time

[uneven thistle]

It doesn't really

It's not even coming to SQ42 anymore 😦

[vast lagoon]

That's why I put "exists" in quotes

[tawny fern]

Is there a plan to designate targets for bladed turrets? I haven’t read anything about how calling targets for ai will work

[crystal sleet]

We havent gotten anything new about bladed turrets other than what we already know. So far, we can assume they will target based on a priority based system. If we want to speculate on the functionality of blades, we could imagine different blades will have different target priorities i.e Blade A will target small ships first, whereas Blade B will target large ships first

In regards for being able to designate targets for bladed turrets, perhaps the differences between blades will be the amount of targets you can designate at once, response times between designation and action, subcomponent priorities, accuracy and precision, and maybe even reliability and component health if you want to include engineering aspects

There could also be different targetting functionality between blades too, like some blades requiring manual designation, some able to automatically designate based on a priority list mentioned before, or blades with a middle ground of both through the means to toggle between designation modes

As a side speculation, i like to think that blade racks in ships will all have the same slot sizes for blades (the racks themselves following the same size convention as other ship comps), though you wont be able to swap out the racks for one with more slots for the sake of keeping things balanced (prevent capital ship owners to blade every manned turret).

The blade cards themselves will dictate how many cards you can install into the racks, some cards taking up one slot each, whereas others take up two. For example, a ship has 4 blade slots in its rack, each slot linking to 4 turrets out of 6. You can choose to either have 4 single slot blades with simple automated targetting but low accurate for a cheap upkeep, or you can choose to have 2 double slot blades with better tracking and reaction time for a more expensive upkeep and faster wear

It can even go even further, some double slot blades only controlling a single assignable turret rather than a two at a time, but for way better blade functionality for an even steeper price

I cant sleep

[crystal sleet]

Forgot to even reply lmao

[lone bloom]

you forgot also the blades that slave turrets to pilot

[tawny fern]

Lol

The reading is interesting

[crystal sleet]

Thats a whole nother can of a different flavour of the same brand, but what i said above could easily apply to slave blades

Maybe add whether or not slaved blade turrets can be used as eithee fixed or "gimbled"

Like how in elite dangerous, ship weapons can either be fixed, gimballed or turreted

[tawny fern]

Well

That was all very interesting reading

And i dont want to sound like im dismissing it

Because it was very interesting

[crystal sleet]

Nah is alg, i cant sleep ans have too much energy, think of this as just running around in a circle to burn energy

[tawny fern]

But what is confirmed about turret blades? And as we probably know what cig says and what cig delivers can always change

I’d imagine the information is pretty limited

[crystal sleet]

All i can definitively remember is that not all turrets on a ship can be bladed

[tawny fern]

Because im not sure what people were expecting out of flight blades, other than very minor stat adjustments

Im sure someone speculated that the ship might fly itself

[crystal sleet]

Flight blades atm appear to be a bit of a test on a test, seeing how people would react and deciding how they even approach blade stats all together

[crystal sleet]

Well understandably, some people would expect some sort of autopilot to come about, considering people would want to walk around and admire their ship instead of looking out of the same canopy glass everyday

[tawny fern]

So is it fair to say PDC’s were a bit of preliminary testing for turret blades?

Barring the whole power allocation thing that’s expected with turret blades

[crystal sleet]

Yuh, theyre all the same pdc model and functionality too, so no need to balance it against other pdcs in the first place. Just focus on the base functionality, worry about variants later

[tawny fern]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qpurmw03-KI&t=428s&pp=2AGsA5ACAQ%3D%3D

Im not sure if i linked that timestamp correctly since im on mobile

Oh yeah it is

So in that video im pretty sure he says all turrets can be bladed, but i’ve also read how only remote turrets can be bladed

That video was also 5 years ago

[crystal sleet]

I think i got the "not all turrets can be bladed" thing was from some group speculation a while ago lol, but yeah that sounds about right what he says in the video

[tawny fern]

Does he actually say all turrets? Implying manned turrets too?

[crystal sleet]

This was kinda around the time when the Perseus was concepted too which had the "as a fall back however, players can slave the manned turrets to the pilot" (paraphrasing)

[lone bloom]

He says later in the video like a minute later ALL turrets - meaning remote and also manned turrets he specified also by name that manned turrets will be bladable

[tawny fern]

So it’s like, as a perseus fanboy, that almost sounds too good to be true

[lone bloom]

and also that we will be able to either automate them fully, or slave them to the pilot

[tawny fern]

So surely the drawbacks would be tremendous if we want to blade everything

Surely, right

[crystal sleet]

Yeah, its lining up, but we cant tell if the puzzle pieces really are meant to fit

[lone bloom]

I assume you will need energy pips

like either 1 in total or like one per blade

[tawny fern]

Yeah, that would make sense

I think

[lone bloom]

Since the percy has mainly only ballistic bespoke it won't be a issue since she has either way very many energy pips

[crystal sleet]

Also wear and tear, more advanced blades wearing out faster because faster calculations

Perseus, on paper and in our hearts, feels too perfect as a bladed ship

Its crazy how many things seems to line up in favor of the Perseus

Maelstrom, s8 upgunning, low theoretical crew reqs

[lone bloom]

Manual torp reloading, manual ballistic reloading...

4 additional PDCS

[tawny fern]

There’s also the idea that big ships must have multiple crew members to be effective. But as we’ve seen in recent years with the addition of pdc’s, and more ships having their turrets slaved to the pilot, we can make some assumptions about how cig wants to move forward with multicrew gameplay

[lone bloom]

Even lower with Blades

[crystal sleet]

Large cargo bay for either cargo or vehicles, small relative size

[lone bloom]

Could fully use the weapon power of the percy with either blades

or like 1 crew member in upper front turret, and bottom turret is bladed to pilot

[crystal sleet]

Aye, if we assume the medusas can be guaranteed fod automation

[lone bloom]

I mean, depends how much stock ammo they have

if they have like 600-900 ammo cap... you can just reload outside of an fight

[crystal sleet]

I wonder if the Perseus secretly became Chris Roberts favourite ship, ditching the connies

[lone bloom]

Well you forgor engineering

[tawny fern]

There’s also the statement that the s3 ballistics are intended to be bladed, in the faq

Oh i did forget engineering

[lone bloom]

They are bladed by stock, yes

Basically larger PDC's just with the ability to remote control them from the bridge aswell if wanted

[crystal sleet]

Would explain why the constellation ships are kinda stagnating

[lone bloom]

Maybe

I mean the connie became by now an extremely old design too

Even 'too' old for the new RSI language

Since new RSI language is straight up a thing between Comfort and Military

[crystal sleet]

Techwear, but for the military

[lone bloom]

While old RSI Design Language been closer to Drake

By now its closer to a mix of Anvil and Crusader

[crystal sleet]

Even anvil has been moving towards a more streamlined or more comprehensible hulls, unlike the weird polygonal chunkiness of the connies

[lone bloom]

Connies were ugly either way

outside and inside

But I am also glad the percy has a cargo elevator instead of a ramp because ramps just cause issues rn

and its easier to load

Especially since they originally wanted to give it a ramp

[crystal sleet]

They had a charm back then, but now its just hard to look at without feeling put off by how different it looks

[crystal sleet]

The perseus was too small and compact for a ramp anyway, especially with how they concepted the ramp in early concepts. It mightve worked if the had the ramp going off to the side, tye opposite side od the docking collar

Like the polaris ramp, just on one side

[lone bloom]

Maybe, but that would'Ve been also shit ngl

Elevator is just way more convinient

[crystal sleet]

Taken up so much more space on the landing area

[lone bloom]

well also giving the ability to just sneak onto the ship

while you can't just go up a elevator

Dunno if non ship owner/party members can even use a exterior elevator?

[crystal sleet]

Nope

[lone bloom]

see

so steal safe

[crystal sleet]

It counts as an external door

[lone bloom]

While on a ramp you can just walk up while loading for example

can't do that with an elevator

[crystal sleet]

Elevator requires button pressing in any case, you dont need to do that with an open ramp, like you said, just walk up and youre in

[tawny fern]

If you blade the rear turret it could just act as an anti personnel guard turret

Just blast people with s8 ballistics

[crystal sleet]

S8 scattergun for maximum anti personnel defence

[tawny fern]

Yeah there you go

Really that rear turret is in such an awkward position for anti ship

[crystal sleet]

Like fifty 2 inch metal spikes getting launched from a tube

[crystal sleet]

Its pretty low profile though, which appeals to me

[tawny fern]

Imagine you’re trying to steal a perseus and it detects an unauthorized person in the vicinity, and that gargantuan turret just swings around

🙃

[tawny fern]

Is it meant to shoot forward?

Doesnt really look like it

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/bombardment-battleship-iowa-class-gif-13892234

[tawny fern]

Almost looks like a broadside design

[crystal sleet]

Yup, its shown to be able to point forward in one of its renders, particularly the one showing the belly

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-turret-cyberpunk2077-cinema-robot-gun-gif-26400922

[tawny fern]

So what about landing? Does the turret retract into the belly or are the landing gears/legs so long that it clears the turret?

I mean the clearances already look pretty tight

[crystal sleet]

The art of the landed perseus seems to imply that it can land with the turret deployed, we can just barely see a sliver od the turret under it

[tawny fern]

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/i/ad954a96acc0fd7d591b0201dc192bc49bd181a4/ADdPNihJzmPbNuTnFsH1DqUeqBRpXdSXVVtgJTyDDgscGKrzJuoFjReseGwBS7bnJu62aq6T7N4UckXkNc4bpkwtS/gallery-7.webp

[crystal sleet]

The same art also suggests the turret is hugging the underside quite closely too, since theres significant clearance, making it look like no turret is there. It might be that instead of the turret being on rails like the javelin main guns, the perseus turrets actually extend and retract like a constellation manned turret

[crystal sleet]

This one yes

[tawny fern]

Looong legs

[crystal sleet]

You can see the "02" thats printed on the armour plating

Thos legs are adorable

[tawny fern]

The extending and retracting is what i think will end up happening with that rear gun, because i have a hard time seeing how it can shoot forward in that position without some serious depression issues

Or i guess elevation, depending on how you view it

[crystal sleet]

Something to note however, the armour panels that flank the bottom turret has a sort of "lip" that bends downwards away from the hull of the ship

You can kinda see it just below the black void with red lights, a strip of armour thats deflecting more light than the other surfaces on hhe belly

[tawny fern]

I can kind of see it, it’s pretty dark, i’d have to look at the 3D viewer

Oh that

[crystal sleet]

It might be that the flared panel makes it appear that the turret has no clear sight

[lone bloom]

"long legs" did you see the Idris ones lmao

[tawny fern]

Which possibly implies that the turret would extend

[tawny fern]

I havent but i know the 890j has some LOOOOONG legs

Or at least retract upon landing?

[crystal sleet]

Im starting to believe that the art is being a little misleading, where the guns are able to swing all the way around without needing to extend down to clear the panels

[tawny fern]

God it looks so good

[crystal sleet]

A better albeit still vague view of the angled panels

[tawny fern]

It almost looks flush

[crystal sleet]

Just look at the greebles on the broadside pylon things

The ones by the docking collar

[crystal sleet]

These are the same panels you can see on the top side, where that strip of red light is

Not as detailed, but the same nonetheless if not similar

The bottom one is a lot longer and somewhat a little less angled, but angled enough to appear to cover the guns

Wait no the bottom panel also as the same red light, it can only be seen from a specific angle it seems

[lone bloom]

(Still weird that the Perseus has only one docking collar while having symmetrically two)

[tawny fern]

Idk

[crystal sleet]

Ok yeah, it extends

[tawny fern]

I dont want to make conclusions based on conceptual images

[crystal sleet]

Honestly i think we were comparinv an artists render to an actual computer model, the computer render being altered to actually work

Computer render being the last three images posted

[lone bloom]

(That one should be more trustworthy than the artist render)

Technical drawing > Artwork

Because the technical drawing has to be accurate

[crystal sleet]

The turret isnt too far extended either, so maybe the turret will just be fixed in place at that position

[lone bloom]

I mean we could easily answer that question with the existing 3D model lmao

[tawny fern]

So the rear turret can clearly point forward, the question is at what minimum distance

Man this is so exciting

I wouldnt be able to sleep either knowing the perseus exists

[crystal sleet]

Without tilting nose up, id say around maybe 40-30m from the front. Cant back up the numbers because we dont have any solid numbers to use for trigonometry lmao. But the top turret should have enough depression to allow the ship to nose up and bring the nottom turret into firing view, basically eliminating effective forward engagement range for the bottom turret, due to the sloped bow

[crystal sleet]

Aw yis, this is better

[tawny fern]

Thats so close lol

[lone bloom]

So it could shoot everything like 100+ meter infront of the nose

[tawny fern]

You’re practically scraping the belly

[crystal sleet]

So assuming the final perseus is still 100m, it seems that the true point convergence for the bottom turret actually is around 190m

[lone bloom]

I mean... Gimbaled guns shoot mostly even through the own ships hulls so .... XD

[tawny fern]

Lmao true

Thats actually really good turret coverage, compared to some of the abominations we currently have in live

Nice hemispherical coverages

[crystal sleet]

There was a bug with the polaris s6 where you could clip the barrels all the way up into the bridge, batting players around where the holotable is

Perseus gonna be a true pocket battleship

[tawny fern]

Well i mean

[lone bloom]

I mean

[tawny fern]

Yeah, pocket battleship is one way to put it i suppose

[lone bloom]

Everything 1 Perseus length away can be targeted by both turrets

So basically 100 meters

[tawny fern]

So really good convergence

[lone bloom]

And thats just if its REALLY straight infront of the nose

Asoon the percy will drift just slightly to the right or left I assume it will go very fast beneath 50 meters

Because ... Dorito shape

[tawny fern]

Oh true

[lone bloom]

Just going to tokyo drift a Polaris

https://tenor.com/view/drift-gif-26311209

[tawny fern]

Convergence tolerances should ease a lot pointing the ship slightly to the left or right of the target

[crystal sleet]

Most players always try to keep their nose pointed at the target anyways, so shouldnt be too different

[lone bloom]

Oh god

Imagine a fully pilot slave turret perseus

Against AI

Since the AI tends to just fly towards you in a straight line..........

They're dead before they even get in firing range

Imagine how easy ERT's would be And then also the ability to easily loot their cargo

[tawny fern]

Yeah i wonder

Idris railgun is already like playing god

[lone bloom]

Just that Idris M costs like... 1.9K or something ? xD

[tawny fern]

Slaved main ballistics doesnt sound that wild

[crystal sleet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/92000849236066304/1392382891907878972/YamatoGIF01.gif

[lone bloom]

I mean the one is a huge capital ship, the other one is a small sub capital

[tawny fern]

Also when turret blades officially release, hammerhead should be kinda nuts, if power allocation allows

Yeah thats also true

[lone bloom]

Well they also stated you won't be able to fully 100% blade your ship

1. I assume that will be ship dependend because that wouldn't make sense on a ship with only like 2-3 Turrets (Starlancer... Zeus... Connie... Perseus)

2. I think they said something with like 60-70% of all turrets

So HH wouldn't be able to blade EVERY turret probably

[tawny fern]

But perseus would?

Oh

You answered that

They also said the scorpius turret is designed to be bladed i think

When blades release it’s gonna shake up the meta big time

[lone bloom]

As I said, wouldn't make sense that this rule applies to ships with just a few turrets

But the HH has many turrets just like Polaris,Idris, Javelin etc.... i do think there the 60-70% blade rule applies

but even then you can still also use NPC crew someday

[lone bloom]

Well Maelstrom, Engineering (with armor) will probably too

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-palpatine-the-time-has-come-emperor-palpatine-darth-sidious-gif-19488591

For the big ships

After... 13 years of Light/Medium fighter meta

[tawny fern]

Yeah, geez

I mean, im on team caps vs caps, fighters vs fighters

Fighters shouldnt be able to harm caps

[lone bloom]

They won't

[tawny fern]

Caps should be able to defend themselves from fighters

[lone bloom]

They kind of clarified already how armor will work

I think on the example of the javelin

Size 5 weapons will still do damage, but reduced a bit

Everything beneath will almost be nullified

[tawny fern]

Yeah, that just makes sense

[lone bloom]

So it still CAN do damage

But its so low that you can just ignore it probably

https://tenor.com/view/scratch-wound-injury-knight-monty-python-and-the-holy-grail-gif-11190303

So speculating S1-S3 weapons might not be able to damage the percy

but S4 and larger will

Maybe S3 still for like 40-50% dmg

[tawny fern]

At least they might not be able to damage the armored areas right?

[lone bloom]

So the biggest threat for percy would be heavy and some medium fighters

[tawny fern]

In assuming there would be unarmored areas on large ships

[lone bloom]

I'm talking generally I do think the first armor implementation will cover the entire ship

and not just some sections

[tawny fern]

Ah

Hey that works for me

[lone bloom]

Maybe they will expand that with later updates that some areas are more amored than otheres (alias Warthunder)

[tawny fern]

My comfy compact ball of ballistic death

Warthunder has to have the most impressive implementation of vehicle armor in any game

[lone bloom]

Just wondering how the player base will react on that since, afterall, 13 years fighter meta that might change this year completely

I bet the people that swear on fighters will be extremely angry

aka the almost entire PvP community

[tawny fern]

Yeah, well

🤷‍♂️

It’s only logical lol, fighters blowing up caps or even sub caps doesnt make sense

[lone bloom]

Yeah ofc but they want to

[tawny fern]

Fighter entitlement is real

[lone bloom]

Because otherwise they say mimimi Pay To Winn

[tawny fern]

Yeah thats a whole other gigantic can of worms

[lone bloom]

I mean since you can get (almost) every ship ingame via just playing......... its just pay to advance

or 'pay to skip time'

'pay to skip grind'

[tawny fern]

Yeah look how many people nabbed a wikelo polaris by…playing the game

[lone bloom]

So the advantage does not last forever, just for a period of time til the first people start crafting or buying their own larger ships lol

And I mean you technically wouldn't even then need a cap to kill a cap

Eclipse Exists

Retalliator exists

Ares Inferno/Ion exists....

Just have to use your brain instead of just "haha i can outrange your turrets and just do spinning around you and keep shooting for 3 hours straight so you die and can do nothing about it"

But I guess many people got used to those extremely fast paced games like CoD where you barely need to think about anything and just 'run shoot run shoot run shoot' and most of them ignore the objective entirely

[tawny fern]

Well that’s currently the case with star citizen fps combat since the ttk is so long

Theres no incentive for tactical play since it takes so long to kill someone

[lone bloom]

FPS in Star citizens is also the worst FPS I ever played

[tawny fern]

Lmao

[lone bloom]

Because of the extreme desync

Partially need to dump a full mag into someone

And they still kill you lmao

[tawny fern]

The amount of times i’ve killed someone and watch then fall to the floor

Oh wait they’re still alive

[lone bloom]

and they just stand up right back and kill you

xD

[tawny fern]

Ok now they’re dead

Oh wait

Yeah, incredible

[lone bloom]

I said it before and I will say it again

Worse than Battlefield 2042 Beta experience

by far

[tawny fern]

Hahahaha

[lone bloom]

I mean there they at least were really dead assoon they were on the ground or you got the kill confirmation lol

[tawny fern]

2042 beta made me and my friends collectively agree that game was total dogass

The amount of bugs in that oh man

[lone bloom]

Well its playable meanwhile but yeah

Till this day it doesn't feel like a battlefield

(Like - Battlefield 2, 3, 4 heck even 1 and 5)

Even tho I don't like to use WW1 or WW2 guns

[tawny fern]

I played with the biggest band of k/d whores with a couple people roof camping with charge rifles

With me as the lmg whore

1 and 5 were incredible

Well 5 was after they nerfed bombers killing literally everybody

[lone bloom]

Well, if you know how

you can still do it

Best update was the pacific update and i really liked those planes there with the rockets, made it kinda easy to target ground targets and also vehicles if you had bombs additionally

[tawny fern]

I stopped playing before pacific released

[lone bloom]

But sadly once again EA being EA

The first update where the game becomes good

they stop giving it updates

Coughs in Battlefront 2

[tawny fern]

Last i heard hackers were in every other lobby in that game

Or heroes just making the game not fun

[lone bloom]

That only was the case for like a week

They actually patched that lol

Never seen a hacker since then

[tawny fern]

Well, on the topic, i’ve been getting trickled bf6 info, and i guess there’s a little bit of controversy regarding class identity and which classes can use which guns

[lone bloom]

Yeah saw that too, they want again every class to be able to use every gun again

[tawny fern]

I think recently dice announced they would allow 2 different builds

[lone bloom]

but the community said already 'nope'

[tawny fern]

Yeah that one

[lone bloom]

I mean I think the 'way' they currently develop the new one is great

Aslong they start listening to the community now

[tawny fern]

Personally i dont really care, all guns, restricted guns

I’m gonna be playing support lmg either way

[lone bloom]

I mean there is TONS of gameplay

already

Looks visually like a mixture of Battlefield 3 and 4

Just obviously with todays graphic standards

[tawny fern]

How much destruction is there?

[lone bloom]

Uh I think Battlefield 5 like destruction

I didn't saw yet like, fully destroying houses so just the foundation is left

But saw like whole corners of buildings getting completely ripped apart, or entire walls

Rumored also that they officially reveal Battlefield 6 next week

Including a open beta

oh nvm its tomorrow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgNCgJG0vnY

5 PM CEST

[tawny fern]

Oh how about that

Yeah i dont really know what cig intends fps to be

The servers really just cant handle smooth gameplay

[lone bloom]

I mean

30 max server fps

And they don't even reach that

Just for comparison, battlefield 3 and 4 did run in its earlier days on 30 fps/hz servers

but even they did upgrade to 60 hz

nowadays they run at 120

So no surprise that FPS combat in SC is just straight up trash

[humble anvil]

Pray for a Perseus upgrade kit

Not an upgrade kit but a conversion kit

Ballistics are cool and sure they'll do great things since they're so big

But damn

50-70% reduction or more depending on shields I guess

Fucking rough

Really hoping that cope from the pipeline admin about Perseus hinting at Beam Kit actually manifests

[tawny fern]

beam perseus is real

let your dreams be

beams

[humble anvil]

Miku Miku beaaammm

Sugoi

[steel sparrow]

Make the twin size 8 into a single s8 laser

[hollow remnant]

Perseus railgun 🙏

[humble anvil]

one way they could argue Perseus gets different turret configuration because it's S8

Unlike Idris

Where it's different was the nose mount or whatever

It's difference was the S10

Really hoping they give us options. Railgun Perseus would be Devastating lol

38.5k alpha min
77k Alpha Max

My math is wrong btw

I think

[heady escarp]

was expecting it to make me fly like a drunken russian and dodge incomming missiles and torpedos with the power of love and friendship and vodka

[heady escarp]

no, we want a giant knife
that way I can slice ships like in the trailer

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/vodka-shot-drinking-gif-7412608

[hollow remnant]

at this point just have both

[heady escarp]

true, 3 upgrades like the idris

we got perseus for 675,
Perseus with rail gun at 899
PERSEUS WITH A KNIFE 999
and
PERSEUS for PRAETOrIaNs ! at 1999

Lets not forget flight blades for 200 dollars...

[steel sparrow]

Finally, a accurate depiction of S8 gun

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Llol

On Photoshop I resize the S7 by 50%

If release is that yummy imma bust

[reef wind]

Perseus with the dynamite on a stick

[cursive drum]

15K DPS for 40-60 seconds depending on capacitor means 600K-900K DPM.

[cursive drum]

They had better sell these upgrades in game.

[humble anvil]

Yeah get them from Wiketroll

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Maybe hold off and spending money on war bond CCUs for the Galaxy when the ship isn't going to release until next year

[lone bloom]

wdym

[humble anvil]

So you can have that money for a Perseus conversion kit

Duh

[lone bloom]

But Dorito Fleet

And I seriously don't want a ship which will get either way abandoned from me once I have the galaxy ingame earned .-. I want all my ships to have a purpose

and the SL Max/or BLD would be just a sitting duck at some point

[lone bloom]

And I mean.... they would announce conversions kit on release at the very last, no?

I mean they did the same with the Idris and the new T kit

(even while the T kit is pretty shit and useless )

[lone bloom]

@humble anvil

May I also note - why the hell is the tac only 5 bucks less than the Galaxy .-.

[tawny fern]

@lone bloom did you see the bf6 reveal

[lone bloom]

Yeah

[tawny fern]

🤞

[lone bloom]

Kinda Dissappointed by the length of the video

[tawny fern]

multiplayer reveal july 31st

[midnight crypt]

The galaxy will go up in price on release

[tawny fern]

please please please dice dont fuck this up

[lone bloom]

Ah right, forgor about that one

[lone bloom]

Yeah my 'hype' around the game stopped assoon the

"Created in engine - no gameplay" popped up

game trailer*

[tawny fern]

i mean

[lone bloom]

Inengine trailers mean nothing

I mean its frostbite 5

The same Battlefield 2042 runs on

For example, in the battlefield 2042 trailer they also showed voxel / terrain adaption if a helicopter crashes into the ground and stays as wreck there

While in the BF6 trailer there was a helicopter that crashed through a building and also did the exact same thing on terrain

But I doubt that will be a thing ingame

[tawny fern]

geez the 2042 trailer was 5 minutes lol

[lone bloom]

Yeah thats why I said I am dissappointed by the length xD

Because it did not show anything of value

So hoping for 31st

[tawny fern]

and open beta i think they said august 3rd

4th

well they didnt say, but i guess it's leaked

[lone bloom]

Yeah, was already leaked a week ago

that they want to go into beta very fast

[tawny fern]

cant wait for an absolute shitshow

[lone bloom]

guess to proof 'we can do it again guys'

or well a shitshow

[tawny fern]

lol

you thought 2042 beta was bad, check this out'

[lone bloom]

But I really hope its a actual open beta

Like - you don't get early access if you preorder

I would like to see two open betas - one soon so they can proof okey it is working and it isn't a shitshow like BF2042

And one like a month before release, with more/new stuff and THERE i would be fine if preorder has like 4 days prior access

[lone bloom]

You know what I hope to see again?

BF4 defi

Which you have to charge and depending on the charge you revive someone with % HP or even can kill a enemy with it

[tawny fern]

is there any leak on gadgets?

[lone bloom]

Probably but haven't looked into it that much

[tawny fern]

anyways speaking of the galaxy

concept is nice but i hope the modules arent priced too ridiculously

nice little non combat version of the perseus

and by little i mean, same sized i guess

[lone bloom]

Well the galaxy itsself is not a great ship ngl

Because it gets outclassed by the arrastra in two modules (refining and cargo), apollo for medical and only left is the BLD module and soontm the rumored manufacture module which is in my view useless

Its only a good ship if its your 'starter' ship and can do everything without the need of having like 3 ships

But those 3 ships are better in their area than the galaxy

(except for basebuild)

[tawny fern]

hmm i heard a lot of excitement for the arrastra, i didnt know it also had a massive cargohold

[lone bloom]

about 600 ish Cargo grid

• if you offgrid probably 1K

Galaxy has WITH the cargo module i think 512 SCU Grid

[tawny fern]

yeaaa

[lone bloom]

and without the module 64

[tawny fern]

and that's its own module, so thats literally all it gets

hmm

[lone bloom]

yeah thats why arrastra outclases 2 modules

The Cargo Module

And the Refining Module

Because Galaxy needs with its refining module still a dedicated mining ship additionally

AND a cargo ship

since it loses its own cargo

Arrastra can do it all by itsself

[tawny fern]

so the modularity doesnt really seem to be worth much in that case

[lone bloom]

Yeah pretty much

I will only get it mainly for the BLD Module

Sure - I could just go for the Starlancer BLD upgrade which will surely be way cheaper

Buuuuut the galaxy looks better

(and would have 6x S5 with blades slaved to PIlot )

[tawny fern]

oh yeah i forgot about the guns

[lone bloom]

yeah has 3x 2 S5 turrets

and all are facing forward

One is at the bottom front, and the two others at the sides

And lets be honest, It may also get 4-6 PDCs probably as buff additionally lol

I mean its larger than the percy

[humble anvil]

because galaxy is concept

[lone bloom]

Also the upgrade from my MAX to the Galaxy (without modules) would cost me only 45 bucks with the help of @humble anvil

[humble anvil]

and TAC went up like 45$

[lone bloom]

instead of 130

[lone bloom]

yeah figured forgor that galaxy has still concept price which will probably go up by 60-70 bucks at release

[humble anvil]

ya

[lone bloom]

I mean its the RSI Carrack basically

Just.... better than the carrack in every way lol

[lone bloom]

Cargo Module: "Module for vastly increasing the Galaxy's cargo capacity by adding 512 SCU of cargo.[3] It also includes a cargo lift able to hold two 32-SCU containers or a vehicle up to and including the RSI Ursa in size.[2]"

[humble anvil]

oh wow

512 added cargo is nice

[lone bloom]

And the cargo module would be irrelevant either way unless you want to carry vehicles - OR they make offgriding so painful for ships that its not a valid methode

[lone bloom]

+64

since it has 64 by stock

(2x 32 grid in hangar)

Also you technically IF you already have an galaxy don't need the apollo

its overkill for the usage since apollo offers the exact same stuff - but galaxy medical has also T1 T2 and T3 beds

[tawny fern]

crazy how rsi gets all the good ships

isnt that crazy

[humble anvil]

fuck no the meteor sucks

[tawny fern]

robert space industries

isnt that crazy

well besides that

[lone bloom]

I think the scorp also sucks tho

Both variants

Antares more than the normal one but both suck

[humble anvil]

yep

[lone bloom]

Also Aurora sucks

and connie is a ugly flying snickers bar

[humble anvil]

tbh

I hate every ship in the game lol.

[lone bloom]

Isn't the Bengal also RSI? xD

[humble anvil]

i think so.. or maybe anvil

bengal is RSI

[humble anvil]

lmao

except Perseus

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-approved-gif-27640148

Its just the funny thing

Literally almost ALL ships I do like

Are still concept

[humble anvil]

Alot of ships okay are great, they're beautiful, and even sometimes fun to fly. but all comes back in the end that there's a thousand small ships and they can all kill eachother

[lone bloom]

I was talking about the visuals

[humble anvil]

meehh

I bet when the Perseus releases imma quit the game lol

[round zodiac]

full walk through, checking every room, fire up the bridge, alt-f4

[humble anvil]

Hate to say it but probably

I do need to disappear from anything Star Citizen for a week lol

[cursive drum]

Why?

[lone bloom]

Because everything just doesnt work

[uneven thistle]

The galaxy will go up, and you also have to pay for the modules

[lone bloom]

Dont "have" to buy the modules
