Just gonna have a construction side inside of it

The room would be just empty without a Module, aka very useable for cargo
Only if you want it flying around, since there won't be a grid in it.
lone bloom
Only if you want it flying around, since there won't be a grid in it.
it works right now, it will work then aswell
And gonna very likely either way grind with percy first alot to get the BLD module ingame, not gonna cargo haul alot either way
would probably go for the other moduels if I feel funny
since BLD is the only module I actually need/want
steel sparrow
Idk if not empty budd
a gaping hole in the middle of ur ship*
lone bloom
The only meh thing is that you have to use the Hangar Door as Cargo Exit/Entrance since you prob also won't have a elevator there without the cargo module xD
Leaks: Release this year 10th of october - price 70 bucks for PC - 80 bucks for console
4th august open beta and 29-31 this month probably a very huge streamer event because of the multiplayer reveal
steel sparrow
Me genuinely twerking cause I thought there's another Percy leak
lone bloom
@tawny fern also got 10 min leaked gameplay if you wanna see it
tawny fern
Sure
lone bloom
oh the destruction is nice
As I said, looks like a mixture of Battlefield 4 and 3
But on steroids
tawny fern
yeah it looks pretty good
idk if you remember how fluid and seamless the bipods were in bf1 and 5
but they made them much worse in 2042
so finnicky
i also like how urban the maps feel
2042 really liked their big wide open areas a bit too much
tepid wasp
Me genuinely twerking cause I thought there's another Percy leak
Shocked to see the Galaxy and BF6 being brought up in the Perseus chat!

Shocked to see the Galaxy and BF6 being brought up in the Perseus chat!

Its still part of it
or do you prefer the tiny little Apollo in that spot? xD
heady escarp
no thanks
heady escarp
technically with the modules, isnt galaxy supposed to go bigger?
lone bloom
technically with the modules, isnt galaxy supposed to go bigger?
Well every ship usually grows 10-20 meters
heady escarp
Well every ship usually grows 10-20 meters
lone bloom
Either way it will stay a direct carrack competitor in terms of size
heady escarp
honestly I just wanted the perfect size thats why I fell in love with perseus
anything bigger will just be annoying for me
heady escarp
why is it growing?
lone bloom
Pretty much in 98% of all cases
because of the concepted interior doesn't fit inside of the concepted hull size
so the hull has to grow
heady escarp
hopefully the interior wont be too bad looking
lone bloom
looks at Polaris
heady escarp
heady escarp
anyone know hows it looks like?
lone bloom
what? The polaris? lol
heady escarp
the perseus lol
lone bloom
We only have the bird view concept artworks of the interior
and the torpedo room and gunner seat one
heady escarp
lone bloom
But visually based on the concepts, you can bet that the Torpedo room will be identically to the polaris
and that the captain quarters room will also be almost identically to the polaris one
heady escarp
nice, I gett a double bed then
lone bloom
Hab rooms are apparantly also supposed to be similar to the hab room in the polaris
lone bloom
Hangar/Cargo room is unknown just like the whole upper deck
and also crew quarters are unknown
They could either share Zeus / Mantis assets
or also polaris
heady escarp
zeus inside is nice
lone bloom
Can we also note
that the Polaris interior concepts
were 100x better than we have ingame
Even the people in concept artworks are T posing
lone bloom
well obviously the polars was supposed to have a upper floor
heady escarp
Im not sure, I dont fly polaris often tbh
foggy beacon
that hanger looks way bigger than what we have
heady escarp
I mean yeah
lone bloom
that hanger looks way bigger than what we have
Because its 2 floors high xD
heady escarp
the hangar of polaris nowadays is smol
can fit at most small and medium small ships
30 metres?
maybe less
foggy beacon
i mean
a starfighter can fit too
when shoved angled
and it's like the biggest thing that fits
lone bloom
tbh the Polaris hangar ingame gives me very high hopes for the Percy Cargo bay
If the height is just about to be similar - maybe the cargo room in the percy might be even higher, you can surely easily fit 2 rows of 32 containers
maybe even 3
ontop of each other ofc
lone bloom
I mean it can surely do 400+ SCU Cargo offgrid
With turret blades you could solo it
for ERT or VHRT Bounties
and also loot them
heady escarp
ill take 400+ SCU of space hotdogs and go live offgrid with it
lone bloom
you can cargo haul with it, without the fear that someone might steal it 1. because of the shitty armistic no steal law thing right now 2. nobody could go up the elevator either way since you cannot use exterior elevators if you aren't in a party and don't own the ship
Soooo it can do all the basic missions every 'non specific' ship can do
(aka excluding touring, salvage and mining)

use the PVE rule to annhilate the players
lone bloom
wdym
heady escarp
PVE= ||player vs elevators||
heady escarp
I tried using elevators in reclaimer yesterday, it killed me again
lone bloom
except for the reclaimer elevator
heady escarp
lets wait and see how perseus elevator works
I aint trusting any elevator anytime soon
honestly they should just do stairs retractable like the syulen
lone bloom
Yeah thats the only bad thing
to enter the percy you fully rely on elevators
Either the cargo elevator or the personal elevator (which is.... just next to the cargo elevator so..... nobody gonna use that one)
heady escarp
cargo elevator, it depends, is it like a giant door who opens or an elevator descends?
lone bloom
at least the interior elevator that connects the 3 floors is similar to the Hammerhead bridge elevator, it has a optional ladder inside of the elevator
lone bloom
cargo elevator, it depends, is it like a giant door who opens or an elevator des...
dunno
heady escarp
lets wait and see
RSI DORRITO
lone bloom
Looks visually like the elevator just lowers down
But it might have a door aswell which hides it
But it might have a door aswell which hides it
heady escarp
an elevator which breaks because ship hasnt been maintained would be funny
humble anvil
2x dual S8 Top Turrets plz 🥺
Put the second a little elevated over the front most cannon
Remove bottom turret, personal elevator r the whole way through.
4x PDC on the bottom
1x PDC above the bridge
1x Quad S3 Remote turret on the rear
(you can disagree with this)
lone bloom
"Perseus entered LOD Phase"
lone bloom
I mean its very likely in LOD phase
humble anvil
🥺
lone bloom
Gatereview is afterall just checking if everything fits in terms of model
humble anvil
OwO
lone bloom
Just confused that the Percy progress just as fast as the Apollo
While the apollo is like a third of its size
Unless they have like 3 people sitting on the Percy and only one on the Apollo
At this rate - Apollo also IAE
crystal sleet
IAE this year is either gonna be the most hype, or just amazing
lone bloom
I mean Perseus will be released there so there is that
And also maybe crafting and basebuilding
crystal sleet
its because the Perseus is dropping that this IAE wont be shit
lone bloom
I mean this IAE is also only online too right?
crystal sleet
youre thinking of citcon, arent you
crystal sleet
yeah i think this year Citcon will be online
crystal sleet
well it is just a month before IAE, so it makes sense
crystal sleet
mmmm, tour Citcon, full drop IAE
lone bloom
I mean Percy will be done by then
Dunno how a online citcon is running like if there are also two days
crystal sleet
also recent SCL hinted at the apollo coming before the end of this year, sotheres that too
lone bloom
but they might tease it the first day via background stuff
and full tour in the second day - like a 'ship chapter'
lone bloom
also recent SCL hinted at the apollo coming before the end of this year, sothere...
Was pretty much given that the Apollo comes this year, and likely before or with percy I mean its just a bit further in development than the percy....
Sneakpeak kinda also confirmed that
crystal sleet
i bet before IAE, drops at Citcon
lone bloom
Just don't see a use for the apollo in the current game at all
crystal sleet
they might as well send it out just to get it out of the backlog
lone bloom
I mean, yes
All ships besides 2 they currently work on are backlog ships
(paladin and Ironclad)
crystal sleet
itd be funny if the paladin doesnt come until next ILW
lone bloom
Percy is backlog, polaris been backlog, apollo (medivac) been both backlog, kraken confirmed to start work soon backlog
lone bloom
itd be funny if the paladin doesnt come until next ILW
Asoon I saw that the paladin has 0 cargo capacity
I lost full interest in it
crystal sleet
cargo doesnt really attract me, just a bonus
lone bloom
Visually surely a great ship from the artworks - besides it being just again another 'variant'´like ship - but I aint got a use for it at all
Like
Why would I go for a Paladin
If I could get a Percy
Can crew it with two people, get more dps, more armor, and cargo
crystal sleet
its a bridge between the hammerhead and Perseus, a "sub-category" if you will
the firepower of a heavy gunship with the customisability of a hammerhead
crystal sleet
do s5 dist scatterguns exist?
crystal sleet
if so, 4 s5 distortion scatters
lone bloom
No S5 disto scatters
crystal sleet
damn
lone bloom
only cannons and repeater
lone bloom
yeah Tigerstrike is a S5 Gatling ballistic
crystal sleet
they should introduce laser gattlings
lone bloom
whatever the difference between gatling ballistic and ballistic repeater is
crystal sleet
you can also tapfire with repeater, no need to wait for spool up
lone bloom
Hope the Percy cannons will be extremely accurate
so you can hit slow big targets on a 7km range
lone bloom
pretty much
Dunno if that would be even worse than sitting behind the engines
Outranging caps with the percy
crystal sleet
heavy sniper unit lol
lone bloom
Since they can't catch up to you either way
lone bloom
heavy sniper unit lol
Ares Ion crying in the corner probably
"Supposed to snipe ships from a very far distance" cant even hit shit at 2+km
crystal sleet
the Ion is the DMR of the ships, Perseus the multibarreled antimaterial rifle
lone bloom
I feel like the actual "ship" sniper role is fully unfilled yet so far completely
crystal sleet
surely they release a banu ship with a high powere tachyon cannon with low firerate and high cooldown, but with high dps and range
lone bloom
I mean, just imagine the Ares Platform with a railgun, you have to charge it up for like 5 seconds
and it flies in a completely straight line
and can hit something from 10K away
That would be something
crystal sleet
banu s7 singe cannon, but uses energy cells to charge the gun, so has limited ammo capacity
lone bloom
Like outside of detection range, maybe just pops up because of heatbuild for a few seconds before shooting like half a second
or not at all
and you can only 'see' from where the shoots are coming from
Would also maybe require a really really big zoom for ships like that
crystal sleet
crystal sleet
explosion on the top half of ship
also ship split in half, front noses up while back rotates opposite way
lone bloom
fair enough
lone bloom
and you can only 'see' from where the shoots are coming from
either way, that would go hard
crystal sleet
each half rotates on their own center of mass
crystal sleet
theres a sniper ship in the Legend of Galactic Heroes anime, hold on
lone bloom
(okay every gaming company does because snipers are extremely hard to balance)
crystal sleet
just gotta balance it by giving it BIG cooldown between each shot, and have an ammo magazine that you ned to replenish
lone bloom
Would see that on the percy aswell btw
Like a spinal mount gun (like the idris) as a modified railgun made for long range combat
but its like a WW2 sniper
you have to reload it manually every 5 shots from the Cargo Bay
But those 5 Bullets if hit are devastating even for caps
Thats how I imagined the Idris Railgun btw - but it kinda has not the damage output for that
or can it still onehite ships the size of a 600I or Hammerhead?
humble anvil
Railgun upgrade kit
lone bloom
humble anvil
Fucking bullet drop on ballistics
Pip doesn't account for it
Biggest worry for the Perseus is it's potential inability to hit anything 3km or more away
humble anvil
Not to mention stupid. Very very very stupid bullet bloom.
lone bloom
Biggest worry for the Perseus is it's potential inability to hit anything 3km or...
funfact
there is fucking bulletdrop IN SPACE
humble anvil
Yea
humble anvil
Why it pisses me off
humble anvil
It's mirrored lol. I tested with inferno. Significantly worse in atmosphere
After 3km it falls off
lone bloom
I mean at least Inferno can hit now stuff at 3Km
before it couldn'T even hit anything smaller than a cutlass above 1,5
humble anvil
Remember 3.18(?) when ballistics I think bypassed shields completely or something
lone bloom
And why does not not apply to laser?
Question still stands
humble anvil
I forget what they did
But the inferno decking slapped
It would kill a reclaimer in 7 seconds full hold. Very very very fast
Full unload and tickle shit now
It takes 5 stray bullets and it couples under the pressure and folds over. So sad
lone bloom
xD
humble anvil
I think I spent 1500 bullets for a few harbingers? Took forever to kill
lone bloom
50+30% reduction hits hard
humble anvil
Danced with a harbinger for a solid minute
lone bloom
doing less dmg than laser
humble anvil
It's pathetic. So sad
humble anvil
Not for every ship in the game
lone bloom
more like 20 or 30%
or make it like fighters have no reduction, heavy fighters 10%, multicrew 20%
anything larger 30%
+15% aslong shields are holding
humble anvil
Yerp
lone bloom
So it can damage through shield, and deals less than lasers at that moment
but assoon the shield shuts off it deals more than lasers
Doesn't require that much braincells
humble anvil
Because then we'd have AI Cutty blacks destroying people
lone bloom
brother
humble anvil
Lmaoooo
humble anvil
But that AI gets infinite ballistic ammo
lone bloom
If people get destroyed by a single cutty its a major skill issue
humble anvil
🥺
lone bloom
humble anvil
Ballistics are nasty lmaoooo
humble anvil
But even s8 ain't saving Ballistics until armor implementation when every ship doesn't have 70% fkn reduction
(depending)
lone bloom
I mean
humble anvil
No. I haven't been killed. I can't remember the last time AI killed me
lone bloom
S8 might oneshot a fighter even with that reduction
humble anvil
But they have
lone bloom
I know S6 is SUPPOSED to oneshot fighter damage wise
but cant because of the reduction
S8 might be able to even with the reduction
humble anvil
Didn't they say they are working on ballistic pen?
humble anvil
I wonder if ballistic pen will cause multiple hits on hull
humble anvil
I.e. rip through wing , hit body, and even pen interior
lone bloom
and repeatedly hitting it
lone bloom
I.e. rip through wing , hit body, and even pen interior
Maybe but if thats the case logical implementation is that it heavily reduces the damage
Like wing gets 100% damage, body 70%, everything after only like 40%
humble anvil
Think ye a cannon. A S8 bullet. Probably the size of... What ya thinking?
humble anvil
humble anvil
God damn
lone bloom
kinda looks more like a todays sized tank shell
humble anvil
Oh I see now, I didn't see they were physical bullets in the concept
humble anvil
Yeah yeah
lone bloom
if you're standing in the room with the 4 tube launchers you can see the torps getting reloaded inside
humble anvil
Yea
lone bloom
I'm stupid
humble anvil
God damn tho dude
lone bloom
maybe
but i wouldn't like that
would mean again that you have to get the boxes up there in the second floor
and they look like 0.5 SCU container
lone bloom
also they said already how the ballistic reload is supposed to work
humble anvil
Making one ship have to micro manage ammo reload while everyone else doesn't
lone bloom
Its like a mini freight elevator inside of the cargo bay
Which every ship with interior will get
humble anvil
OwO
lone bloom
and fighters with no interior will have on the exterior
humble anvil
OwO
lone bloom
ngl kinda weird they did not implemented that already with the Meteor somewhere
but otherwise I wasn't able to check it myself
humble anvil
Tbh you're right
lone bloom
Like if there is somewhere a little free area where they could add it
like - already making space for it
so they dont have to rework 'every' ship
humble anvil
CIG 😅
lone bloom
I mean every newish ship has a fucking fuel port
We know it aint coming soon
and they still have it
but we know manual reloading is planned for "soon"
and yet no ship has the ability to do so
humble anvil
Perseus about to be the first ship with this mechanic
And then for it to not function, riddled with bugs, and quite literally tedious as f
lone bloom
Its supposed to have it
humble anvil
Joy 🙄
humble anvil
If we can change ammo types
humble anvil
I want HE rounds, shits going to destroy
lone bloom
Ammo types are already done according to the pipeline
most likely only waiting for the manual reloading
humble anvil
Do you know the ammo types?
lone bloom
So far I can remember without rechecking, there is Plasma that is mainly made for ground stuff - will cause a huge radioactive temporarily persistent AOE damage
Distorition
Incendiary aka fire
Flak that splits into multiple projectiles like a shotgun
humble anvil
Flak Perseus to Pepper a Idris
lone bloom
I honestly think Incendiary will be the worst for larger ships
spreading interior fire just everywhere
so they would either have to vent the entire ship - which will cause probably many crew member to die after some time (since most armors aren't supposed to hold much oxygen)
humble anvil
I don't disagree
lone bloom
or to deal with the fire
which will cause many crew members to leave the turrets
while the percy can keep on the pressure and has barely no offense against it
and ghost crewed ships are fucked then either way xD
Could use HE/Normal ballistic on the front upper turret to disable ship parts
and the bottom turret has fire rounds
Imagine it like that - approaching the capital, broadsiding with the bottom turret and causing fire in multiple floors and hallways forcing people to get off station
Then sit behind engines and disable them so it cant run away - just to fly above it and let it rain hell and fire
would be a very specific build for anti capital - but a very deadly one
humble anvil
I'd rather shoot Connies
Literally not a threat, free food for Persy
Yummy delicious sub caps
Wouldn't want to get near Polaris or an Idris unless supported. Those turrets, (Good luck Perseus turret gunners) hard to hit a moving target
Polaris less of a threat, out range the s3/4 guns
I understand there's a blind spot on the Idris, but yah still have to get close enough to it
Without it turning it's main gun on you
Fucking fat CS, EM, going to be picked up 20km out
'like shooting fish in a barrel' as a Perseus crew against anything under the Polaris
lone bloom
Polaris has the worse blindspot
idris can still shoot at you if you're behind the engines
THe Polaris can't
humble anvil
Keke
Kekw
And that I guess. I wasn't aware. But it makes sense now that I think about it
I'ma bit ill informed on capitals. I don't care about them
Try to avoid them
lone bloom
well Polaris has i think only a pdc back there
which won't shoot a percy
A Idris has i think 2x dual S5
YOu know, if you go down from the bridge with the stairs
right ahead at the end of those stairs you can go into those side bridges with the two turrets on each side
the back one can shoot to the back on each side
lone bloom
yep
guess you can see which two turrets i mean
Dunno if you could just fly beneath it but i do think on the bottom the Situation would be worse if fully crewed
Idris has a very good all around coverage, ofc engine still kinda Blindspot for most turrets but on polaris its a full blind Spot
tawny fern
Is turret placement in this game supposed to be attrocious
Rule of cool kind of thing instead of “maybe we should put the turrets where it makes sense, like facing the front”

The good news is a form of maelstrom is complete since it was used in the sq42 live demo

If the perseus gets delayed and I get to keep playing the game and buying ships not really
Because I need to finish the Percy's chain to move on
But if it gets delayed that means less time for it to be power creeped

A bunch of content creators are going to try and push the gladiator

ebon salmon
Yeah I don't get it, but it doesn't have a paint and that means it was a best in show for the last year I guess
After the rafts glow up and heavy use in this event that's my bet for a top 4 finish at least
tawny fern
asgard seems pretty popular too
if this event hadnt happened raft would have no chance
it's going to get top 4 solely because of this event
tawny fern
idk
what else would it be
i dont think idris/polaris are popular enough to win
and it wouldnt even matter if cig decides to put them in the same bracket anyways lmao

But why gladiator
Nobody uses that thing
Literally never seen anyone using it except for AI
tawny fern
im sure if content creators band together they can get an army of unga bungas to vote for anything
ship showdown has never been about how objectively good a ship is though
lone bloom
"oh my favourite streamer wants this ship to winn so i gonna completely ignore my own free will and gonna follow the river stream"
lone bloom
Wouldn't you usually just vote... for the ship you personally want to winn lol
I mean no way I would vote for any other ship than the percy
tawny fern
yeah thats what i did when the corsair, my waifu ship, won
and then they nerfed it and now its a steaming pile of trash
lone bloom
I mean personally I also did not care about that event, because the ship I do own pretty much never winns either way xD
so no point in voting
tawny fern
corsair was also op a couple years ago so 🤷♂️
lone bloom
I mean I will own a Percy because of Rustle
And Galaxy soon too instead of the starlancer
Both may have a chance to winn
ebon salmon
I wonder what shade of purple we will get this time
lone bloom
50 shades of purple
ebon salmon
Metallic purple 2 years ago at least looked decent. Last years was just really phoned in
lone bloom

I mean ofc the ones post release aka percy next year and galaxy 2027 not this year ofc, honestly don't know which I should vote for

lol 2953's paint was cool ONLY for the 600i
it looked soooo out of place for the redeemer, corsair, and vulture
it's like a paint you'd see on alien week
lone bloom
The Best in show also makes me kinda angry
Because as I said before, there is no point in voting for any of those ships unless its a ship you own as pledge
tawny fern
yeah thats fair
lone bloom
Since you do not gain anything if a ship winns even if you have voted for it if you don't own it
Like, okay people who own it get the paint, sure but all others or those who voted for the winning ships should still get something
Like, a Mini 3D ingame model of it (there is one of the carrack for example with the red metallic paint)

F-8A has 2 S4 and 6 S3 guns. way more power than the F-8C that is currently ingame

I don't even have a percy brother
lone bloom
The only thing I pledged so far is the Starlancer Max, everything else I do have in my hangar (aka 10 pages by now lmao) were ingame rewards or advents calender stuff
tawny fern
o
lone bloom
But gonna upgrade the Max with @humble anvil help to Galaxy (without modules)
so there is that
tawny fern
a lot of the concept ships i seem to be pretty oblivious to their capabilities
like the arrastra, i didnt know it could do the entire mining gameplay loop and have a 576scu cargohold
lone bloom
Well the cargo thing is part of the gameloop
tawny fern
thats freaking huge
tawny fern
yeah thats pretty cool
lone bloom
I would bet Orion will be able to do that aswell
would be stupid if not
But either way, not gonna pledge anything besides the galaxy as upgrade now and coping for the Perseus gift from Rustle
Ingame I'm gonna farm straight for the Arrastra for obvious reasons
So I can cover Combat (Perseus) - Basebuilding & Medical (Galaxy) - Cargo & Mining (Arrastra)
For Salvage if it will be a important gameloop for either money or resources I'm gonna wait how medium salvagers may look like
I mean we know a starter sized ship for salvaging from RSI is currently in work
lone bloom
And Touring just for the funnies 600I (post rework) and maybe the E1 because looks cool xD
But that would be like one of the last stuff I would go for - especially the 600I
tawny fern
yeah
lone bloom
Funny if I think about that I used to run ERT Missions with the 600I
3x S5 was quite ouch at that time
(Connies didn't had 4x S5 at that time)
lone bloom
I mean
Perseus will have the highest firepower for its size and also especially crew requirement
okay nautilus might get close but nautilus has one whole turret less (if you just gonna duo both ships that may not make a difference) and instead of torpedos can lay mines
But gonna probably be less armored
lone bloom
So I can cover Combat (Perseus) - Basebuilding & Medical (Galaxy) - Cargo & Mini...
Also very important to note, that both Percy and Galaxy are one of the very very few ships in SC that DON'T have their Bridge/cockpit in the nose.
Excluding capital ships, I think only the Caterpillar and Ironclad have one in the back?
tawny fern
yeah i was flying the 890j during the event and i really enjoy how much spatial awareness you have
same with the cat too
its really easy to tell just how big your ship is
lone bloom
I mean I can see that being a very huge plus point for the percy
Simply because you can see as pilot at which target your gunner is actively looking and shooting at
So you can follow it more easier
tawny fern
yeah absolutely
hmmmmmm
galaxy is probably coming out next year right? do you think the price will go up for this year's IAE?
lone bloom
Soooo besides Capitals only 4 ships have their bridge not at the very front of the ship and two of them are RSI
lone bloom
galaxy is probably coming out next year right? do you think the price will go up...
Well galaxy was "supposed" to release this year
but got moved back because of modularity
so it switched place in pipeline with the percy
Aka assoon Percy is done, they start working on the Galaxy
So we might see galaxy release next year IAE
And no they don't increase price before release usually
Afterall thats the point of buying in-concept ships that you don't pay as much as for released ships
lone bloom
Think right now Warbond (without modules) Galaxy is 350
standalone 380
which is quite cheap for a ship that size
tawny fern
yeah
lone bloom
'cheap' in terms of other that sized ships xD
tawny fern
comparable to hammerhead and perseus
lone bloom
well they have military tax
tawny fern
and perseus will go up after release
lone bloom
Meant more something like a carrack since thats the direct competitor
tawny fern
oh
tawny fern
yeah lol its wild
lone bloom
and perseus will go up after release
Well with all the buffs the percy got now I think of a 100+ bucks increase
it may hit 800 bucks standalone
tawny fern
yeah
lone bloom
I mean pretend like we won't turret blade all 3 and pilot slave them making it a 6x S5 kill machine
it needs a 120 meter sized ship to outgun the connie
lone bloom
Well, thats also my argument against the galaxy XD
tawny fern
but the galaxy also looks really freaking cool
lone bloom
yeah thats pretty much the only reason why i want it as pledge ship
Because I know I would probably farm it ingame either way at some point
tawny fern
yeah
lone bloom
and that would cause my Starlancer (BLD) then to just sit around
But I want my very few pledges to have at least some use which I keep using xD
tawny fern
i still keep my 325a since it was my very first pledge in 2013 even though it collects dust 
tawny fern
lmao
lone bloom
Well my preferred loop won't be doable with a fucking lancer max
At least not post armor, engineering, maelstrom likely
(bounty (v2))
tawny fern
oh is that where the perseus comes in
lone bloom
well hopefully
I mean Max will turn into a galaxy either way so its 6x S5 instead of only 4x S4
but yeah
Thats where the Percy is supposed to come in
tawny fern
well
my preferred loop this patch is hathor so i spent most of my ship time in little hospital ships
ship to ship combat stopped being my favorite when they removed service beacons
but the galaxy has a medical module soooo 
lone bloom
I mean
The apollo is cheaper and offers pretty much the same as the galaxy medical module
faster, more agile, but offers ofc 'only' that
tawny fern
idk i dont really like the apollo based on the preliminary stats
lone bloom
never looked deep into the apollo or medivac
tawny fern
no guns, im not even sure if it has internal storage
lone bloom
wait it has NO guns? xD
tawny fern
i dont think so
lone bloom
tawny fern
it might have turrets let me check
lone bloom
that the apollo costs as much as a starlancer is ouch btw
it has indeed no pilot guns
and only one turret with 2x S2
but 28 scu cargo
tawny fern
but still its like cmon
what if i need to shoot someone on the ground
triage is 250? just get the galaxy lmao
lone bloom
i mean galaxy is 130 bucks more
lone bloom
triage is 250? just get the galaxy lmao
I mean Triange will increase in price too
Likely will cost 270-290 post release
which is very crazy considering its only thing is to do medical
tawny fern
idk that seems absurd for a specialist medical ship
lone bloom
and its not even a gameloop you can use
ofc its a 'sandbox' gameloop
But not like a game loop where you can actively get missions for and get consistently paid
Like hauling, bounty, etc
tawny fern
yeah
lone bloom
Yeah the galaxy simply has that already included
Got T1 T2 and also T3 bed
like the Apollo
(ofc only if you have said module and also equiped said module but I have high copium that the modules will be pricy in webstore, but dirt cheap ingame - just like ground vehicles)
and till you can buy the first module for ingame AUEC you can just use the empty room as offgrid cargo room
tawny fern
i just hope they dont hold the modules hostage for real money for a considerable amount of time
lone bloom
I mean they do right now already?
Unless you can buy the Retaliator modules somewhere ingame
lone bloom
yeah but retaliator is a modular ship
and has two modules right now
i don't know if you can buy them already ingame somewhere?
tawny fern
i think i read something about retaliator modules costing 800k
lone bloom
torpedo module even
tawny fern
🙃
lone bloom
military tax
lone bloom
Cargo module is only 475K
but you have to buy it twice because its in two seperate modules
tawny fern
Retaliator owners can equip their ship with this front module to allow for storage of an additional 36 SCU of cargo.
36 scu oho boy
tawny fern
lone bloom
Either way, Retaliator Modules... 500-800K
So realistic price for one (non military) Galaxy Modul would be likely 2 mil then
maybe 3
Afterall that Single room is larger than most fighters or starter ships
While the retalliator rooms are just freaking tubes
humble anvil
Perseus
$900 ship
Most expensive Sub Cap
Calling it
That way they can also induce huge fomo and argue the reason for it's buffs
They know it's popular, and the people that haven't bought get sucked into buying it
So shit is going to radiate through the community like a wild fire
Or it comes out as stock concept from 2020 with no as described additional new features and flops like a wet bag... No in-between
lone bloom
They know it's popular, and the people that haven't bought get sucked into buyin...
Or getting it gifted 
humble anvil
That shit goes to the moon. Still gifting it lol
lone bloom
Perseus will get a S8 Beam
S9 beam Upgrade kit
lone bloom
Or wait hear me out
humble anvil
HEAR HIM OUT
lone bloom
Upgrade kit turns the dual s8
humble anvil
lone bloom
To Single s10 beam laser
lone bloom
Just make the turret move Slower than before because of heavier weight
humble anvil
Oh yo were thinking turret
lone bloom
Giving it shit cap wouldnt make sense since percy has alot of horse Power ...
humble anvil
I was thinking it would be slaved forward to the pilot
humble anvil
Dude
tawny fern
just put the dual s8's where the dual s3 ballistics were
humble anvil
tawny fern
cig can find a way to make it fit
humble anvil
They really should just make it a Quad S8
lone bloom
Brother
humble anvil
Call it a day
lone bloom
There is space for it
tawny fern
it is a gunship after all
humble anvil
Can you pull that again
I want to see S10 with Perseus
I don't have the picture lol I deleted gallery
lone bloom
Well and i am on my Phone where i dont have the pics
humble anvil
Fuc
lone bloom
Shouldve asked me 10 min earlier
lone bloom
just put the dual s8's where the dual s3 ballistics were
Either way there is space for it, there would be also space to place a second upper Front turret
But the back turret would be extremely limited because of the engines
Aka like only ha ing a 60* firing arc
tawny fern
And put the dual s3 ballistics where all the PDC’s were
Ah yes, gunship
I really hope they dont go through with that 92 scm top speed or whatever it was
It should be at least 300
With a nav mode top speed of 1500
foggy beacon
honestly
even 200 is good
remember it's still a massive flying brick with tons of armor and only recently updated tech
lone bloom
I really hope they dont go through with that 92 scm top speed or whatever it was
100 scm
lone bloom
remember it's still a massive flying brick with tons of armor and only recently ...
Massive flying brick?
looks at ironclad
I wouldnt even be suprised if they decide to make the ironclad faster even while being a literal brick
tawny fern
lone bloom
Doubt
tawny fern
wow its the most optimal turret placement i've ever seen in star citizen
lone bloom
Doesnt has the guns for it
lone bloom
wow its the most optimal turret placement i've ever seen in star citizen
Welp every gun toward the ground
Except for two
tawny fern
it looks like they should all be able to face the front
lone bloom
Yeah because its build like the uh
Landing ships at Dday
Pretty sure thats also where the Inspiration came from, and the turrets are there to protect the Front ramp
tawny fern
ironclad assault looks pretty cool too but i have no use for carrying a ton of vehicles and weapons
and a vehicle repair bay? cmon, ground vehicles are gonna need to be a lot more useful to really make use of that
steel sparrow
I wouldnt even be suprised if they decide to make the ironclad faster even while...
I imagine the handling of Ironclad is literal brick in atmo but faster cause it has fck ton of thruster while Percy is slower but better handling
tawny fern
you would think the ironclad would be fast since the entire rear is just covered in engines
but idk if quantity and size of engines correlates to speed in this game
steel sparrow
Looks at Herald, literally just a engine*
tawny fern
yeah lol stuff like that
lone bloom
Looks at Herald, literally just a engine*
We call it the Single manned s6 Torpedo
steel sparrow
Rattler 6 XD
reef wind
Herald is the railgun ammo
lone bloom
pretty sure that will also be the beta map
But yeah I prefer most of that what I see there over 2042
lone bloom
But I saw that there are many reused assets from BF5
tawny fern
thats huge
lone bloom
Apparantly yes
and also how much damage per shot and which killed you lol
Just no deathcam yet xd
tawny fern
did any bf game have a deathcam?
lone bloom
Gunplay also looks way smoother
lone bloom
did any bf game have a deathcam?
nope
lone bloom
But apparantly there in that test are already less bugs than in the open beta of 2042 let alone release
tawny fern
yeah im gonna have to see that for myself
lone bloom
But we will see, the worst part was still mostly the heavy desync
was never as bad as in SC but for a fps it was bad
lone bloom
and they surely have to remake some icons lmao
Tanks will be so unholy bad in that map probably because mostly close quarter and narrow roads
oh they brought back the system that you cannot full heal tanks on the go
Only if you're mechanic
Remember, no preorders
Only if Beta is good
21:14 snipers are great again
tawny fern
Ok hear me out
Ive never pre ordered a bf game in my life
From bf2 to 2042
And 2042 was the biggest pile of steaming ish we’ve ever seen right
But dice and ea kept supporting it
And i ended up putting in like 500 hours or something stupid
So SURELY
Even if bf6 flops, it’ll be good later right???
Although lol, i bought bf2042 when it went on sale years later for like 5 bucks lmao

If we can spend thousands on ship for an alpha game then we can definitely spare £60 
I'll preorder, I know the 2nd trailer's out tomorrow too

I mean, kind of this, lol
Justifying my bad purchases with other bad purchases 🫠

Who is 'we'?
lone bloom
I'll preorder, I know the 2nd trailer's out tomorrow too
Not a trailer tho, so far I know its a livestream like Call of Duty Next no?
lone bloom
I mean they invited many streamers/youtubers across the world for it
For a huge lan party like event
Aka like the one Activision does for its huge multiplayer reveal every year
tawny fern
Mixing expert gamers with total noobs
lone bloom
I mean, just like the most average battlefield match making?
