Otherwise I might think why they wanted a airlock there
#Perseus Pals
lone bloom
Engineering is right next to it
And you might need to exit the ship for exterior repair work
the Hull C also has an additional airlock at its engineering bay because of that
crystal sleet
Also a quick escape if the escape pods dont work for the pilot and engineers
lone bloom
Does that mean we will be able to easily walk ontop
of our percy
yall just trying to gaslight me to thinking its a good idea to place a airlock there
sand hound
It would be interesting if that was added cause we will be required to repair certain things from the exterior like that r2d2 scene in Star Wars

Uh... its already a thing ingame
crystal sleet
Does that mean we will be able to easily walk ontop
Why else would they make the tops of warships walkable in real life? Not only for logistics and crew comfort, but for engineering and depairs if they can
sand hound
What’s exterior reparable?
lone bloom
Yes
sand hound
I’m not talking about the salvage skin thing
sand hound
Nah I mean like you have a fuse you can only get to from the exterior
lone bloom
ah yes, casually replacing a fuse on a moving turret, while combat, while the ship moves at full speed
crystal sleet
It’s a fuse on the back of the S8 manned turret
Or its a back up system for reloading the guns manually

Isnt the arrastra meant to have some refinery capabilities?

they ALWAYS take the small ships first

The Pioneer itsself (if it can refine) is simply a flying 'base'
you can craft
you can likely refine

you can even fucking mine materials that can only be gathered by base build miners

Shit because: Pirates/Combat entry point directly to the engineers bay and bridge aka the two sections that... you want to protect the most
good because: engineer can jump out fast for exterior repairs - and you can also walk ontop of the percy

Same for potential PDC locations on the wings
humble anvil
PDC at the front
lone bloom
yeah not leak my bad
I just don't like they thiccen it up by alot and angled/rounded it extremely
agile kayak
could these be housing for pdc's, retracting when weapons are disabled to protect them?
would put 4 in total spread symmetrically
lone bloom
would put 4 in total spread symmetrically
but only... on top of the ship
would be very shit coverage
also it has the exact same textures twice on the side of the bridge

well then idk
lone bloom
Very likely 2 on the upper and bottom side of the wings
i wonder that nobody yet mentioned how fucking gigantic the turret is btw
agile kayak
oh wait those are escape pods, according to the text on the bridge ones

could be possible too

@humble anvil @crystal sleet

crystal sleet
Holy shit they actually did put em in
Thats a very wierd spot to put em in, although not too dissimilar to what we had once discussed a while back
lone bloom
Depending on where the other two are placed
Looks like they want the percy to act like a tank
aka alot of front facing power
lone bloom
Thats a very wierd spot to put em in, although not too dissimilar to what we had...
maybe they placed them more likely to the front because the two dual S3 turrets also shoot missiles and torps ?
and those are both at the back
humble anvil
thats a weird PDC
lone bloom
lone bloom
would be weird
oh god
imagine they add ballistic PDC's that would mean EVERYTHING on the percy is by stock ballistic
crystal sleet
Maybe theyre rolling the perseus out with a brand new model of pdc?
lone bloom
Aslong they are not bespoken I guess
crystal sleet
They did say that theyd make pdcs match the design of the brand i think

We've come so far

Either way I hope that "PDC" or whatever it is won't get in the way of the top main turret
lone tundra
if thats a S3 alt fire on the turret
That was my immediate thought
lone bloom
a s3 gatling ballistic
The S3 are by stock ballistic
humble anvil
you know how in SQ42 it has an alt fire?
crystal sleet
Based on where the supposed pdc is located, its hanging above the sloped forward hull of the bow
lone bloom
you mean a secondary weapon?
humble anvil
yeah
lone tundra
you mean a secondary weapon?
yeah
humble anvil
a secondary weapon on the s8
lone bloom
yeah javelin ones are kinda "too" spacy

if its a ballistic PDC too attached to the front of the turret

they kinda look out of place

that would be cool too

that would be cool too
but not very usefull unless it has unlimited ammo

ya mean that?
Ew, yeah. Thats what also gets me to recoil looking at the polaris s6 turret

I honestly don't know as designer how you could possibly armor that tbf
crystal sleet
Its just... there. No wonder, not even an attempt at armouring. Its just there
lone tundra
I honestly don't know as designer how you could possibly armor that tbf
Pivot points are generally embedded deeper into the turret itself
crystal sleet
I honestly don't know as designer how you could possibly armor that tbf
Atleast cover up the gear looking part with a moving flap or something
lone bloom
Yeah but the Javelin Turret has no space for that
lone tundra
They're fucked for those due to design
lone bloom
Since the barrels are on the outer edge of the turret itsself
lone tundra
This is what they had for space
lone bloom
aka that wouldn't work
lone tundra
Then they had to slap S7s on there
lone bloom
so only option would be mesh related stuff i think some naval guns have that
crystal sleet
I just remembered after looking at the turrets of the USS Texas, have some sort of shroud covering thats made of like kevelar or anything
lone tundra
It's a blast bag
lone bloom
well some protection is more than nothing
crystal sleet
Tge javelin turrets look like wierd thick yet smooth legs of a fleshy bug
lone tundra
well some protection is more than nothing
It's not protection at all
It helps with pressure and protects it from rusting and such
crystal sleet
I mean something like that
Yes, something like this
lone bloom
It would protect the gear from random stuff falling into said gear
and possibly stopping it from rotating
Tanks had that too
for exact that reason
crystal sleet
Also from dust, and debris from ships wrecked in battle
lone tundra
Ah it's protection in that regard, yeah
lone tundra
I'd look into "bucklers" or "bloomers" for naval turret stuff
It's mostly rubberized canvas
crystal sleet
They look as if the artists of Doom Eternal looked at that game Scorn for inspiration
crystal sleet
It's mostly rubberized canvas
Make them out of carbon nanotubes or something for the javelin
lone bloom
I mean those things add a extra layer of detail
and those could easily be placed on those gears of the barrels at the javelin
lone tundra
yeah, it needs that
lone bloom
So far I know the Javelin Turret is in some way also 'two' turrets no? Like, the main turret beneath the 'seat' moves way slower than the seat canopy and the upper turret?
crystal sleet
I hope we get to actually hear the perseus autoloaders whirring and clunking shells through the walls of the turrets

I would also be fine if we can see it beneath the seat like in the artwork
the autoloader feeding the bullets up
lone bloom
From what we've seen, yeah
For a game its okay, in RL that would be an absolute nightmare lmao
So much stuff that could break xD
crystal sleet
I would also be fine if we can see it beneath the seat like in the artwork
Itd be interesting to see if the turret "casemates" uses spark free materials like irl ships
lone tundra
For a game its okay, in RL that would be an absolute nightmare lmao
well yeah a real turret would be vastly different
lone bloom
yeah and now imagine another layer ontop of that turret
needing also a feeding belt etc
with different ammo
lone tundra
It'd just be a guy standing on top basically
lone bloom
either way, so far I know the Percy Turret works similar to a autoloader tank turret no?
Feeding from somewhere in the bottom where the storage is, and feeding it up via belt into the barrel
crystal sleet
Itd have been funny if for some reason the US navy had opted to put a single guy with a 50 cal on the top of the 16 in gun turrets instead of the conventional two sets of quad bofors they did with some other ships
lone tundra
I mean it's not unheard of
I think the Sevastopol class had guns mounted on top the turrets too?
lone bloom
ngl sad to see that the future of naval ships are more like small, extremely fast moving destroyers with mostly only 1-2 turrets and some long range missiles
especially for future games that deal with that kind of gameplay like World of Warships
crystal sleet
Feeding from somewhere in the bottom where the storage is, and feeding it up via...
I imagine it first feeds the shells up from the magazine up to the where the traverse ring is in an over sized belt feeder, then something akin to the G11s clockwork breach takes the shells then lines it up to the autoloader that is always lined up to the gun breach
crystal sleet
I mean it's not unheard of
Yeah, but like a single guy with just a single browning on a mount
crystal sleet

Its them damn kids and their dangnabbit cruise missiles!
lone bloom
I don't think its particulary because of missiles
More like because the guns are so advanced that the armor doesn't matter either way anymore
crystal sleet
Theyre killing the big caliber industries!
lone bloom
since all guns can just pen everything
Thats why modern tanks are also build more likely for speed than for armor
More chances of survival to avoid or dodge a shoot than to just tank it
crystal sleet
The problem is that youd need to atleast be within the range of the guns, whereas missiles can keep themselves propelled way past sightlines and potentially radar range
lone tundra
Yeah, but like a single guy with just a single browning on a mount
Could've sworn there was something that had a single RWS mounted on top of it, my naval knowledge has waned over the years though

lone tundra
Octobers so close too
Realistically, expect to fly your Perseus shortly before IAE - November 10th ish depending on when IAE starts
They managed to hold the Idris off at ILW though - which was crafty af, owners only got access 3 hours prior to ILW officially starting
lone bloom
tbf we were able to get into the ship months earlier in PU and PTU
and even fly it
They just didn'T gave it the players as ownable ship yet

They also get added just 'days' maybe a week prior

I mean I will have to wait either way probably to at least Crusader Day .-.
lone tundra
The final week of the PTU patch, while they push against the required LIVE release date; the ships are usually added in. At that point, owners can fly them - usually.
Non owners have to wait until the ship is on the show floor and has been sold to rent it though
But that'd be day 1 of IAE
lone tundra
It'll be an RSI opening, the Perseus is the star for this year

Just rent it on day 1

On the two idrises we killed while doing hathor
With only 3 f7c?
Tbf that was also pre buff of the Hangar doors

Waiting for more leaks <:slort_smile_mega:1011204759606272040>
very likely have to wait a entire month again for a new leak xd
hoping it will be this time a interior one

Pretty sure it won't be about the Percy
Maybe the one after

i wanna strangle my friend so bad rn
he's refusing to accept the fact that Percy is gonna get S8 lol
humble anvil
lol
it is going to get S8
and its going to get 4 PDCs as well
in fact, it probably will get beam conversion kit as well
agile tinsel
very likely have to wait a entire month again for a new leak xd
honestly, I'm really interested on how the stats have changed
those guns are definitely s8
and honestly, I see like 4 empty spots that could be s1 PDC's
and ofc the one we see on the pic
I do wish the bridge wasn't the same color as the body though

Lets just hope it has exterior gravity then
humble anvil
I would appreciate exterior gravity, but would also be weird if it had it
lone bloom
I would appreciate exterior gravity, but would also be weird if it had it
I mean I would be also fine if CIG would at some point decide to add magnet shoes...
So for example the engineer could walk on the hull of the ship maybe even while its flying

meanwhile raw ballistic power...
Noooo! 400i!

Did you miss the note where each each had one POI? We will have way more POIs with 5 systems with the way the changed it to. These planets are way more full.
amber crest
Imagine flying to 100 different systems with the current flight times
brittle hound
Imagine flying to 100 different systems with the current flight times
Not that you need to fly to 100 different systems on daily basis
And even then, to travel from end to end it gonna be what, 10 jumps maybe?
For a ship capable of this journey it gonna take maybe 2 hours max

And even then, to travel from end to end it gonna be what, 10 jumps maybe?
For a...
That’s also if there are no bugs like jumping through a tunnel and ending up back in the system you tried jumping from better to add on another 2 hours of navigating bugs and if you decide to bring friends along probably add on another hour
brittle hound
That’s also if there are no bugs like jumping through a tunnel and ending up bac...
well, we're talking 100+ systems
by that time stuff gonna be mostly figured out
right now? yes, its "bug navigation"
but with majority of bug fixed it wont take really long time
timid adder
Yeah once the core systems are in, it’s relatively easy to just focus on bugs, I mean look at 4.0-4.2 they didn’t add loads of content between those updates and focused heavily on bugs and got them mostly worked out, I’ve not had issues with player elevators in months

even if the ship comes out, like... it's just going to be a daily flyer

brittle hound
70% Ballistic reduction about to hit hard
It doesnt matter if you have shitton of ballistic damage really. 6k pure alpha? Its still about 2k after all the reductions.
Take Perseus. Take a friend. Go show all this solo Polaris who's the boss here 
lean merlin
Assume all the secondary weapons (size 3's etc) will be customisable?
grave canyon
man they can reduce everything as long as it got that cool look percy will be beloved
brittle hound
Assume all the secondary weapons (size 3's etc) will be customisable?
Should be, looks like regular Mantis gatling
grave canyon
Assume all the secondary weapons (size 3's etc) will be customisable?
ye
even ammo for main guns is customizable
brittle hound
Well, we'll see
humble anvil
^
grave canyon
wonder if we get ammo types w launch or later
brittle hound
So far its just fancy CIGs promises in QnA
grave canyon
my bet is later
brittle hound
Or never
grave canyon
So far its just fancy CIGs promises in QnA
we'll have it eventually surely
humble anvil
supposed to have a little elevator you stick ammo into and it'll autoload into the guns
grave canyon
or some other feature that serves similar function
grave canyon
yeah, don't think they want to cut a feature like that off and get more bad rep for it
they'll just postpone it to 10 years later
you are on a weird hill with this one brother
brittle hound
they'll just postpone it to 10 years later
Until it is forgotten and noone cares anymore so they can ignore it for another 10 years
grave canyon
like damn surely there's a chance they'll cut a huge feature off of a very anticipated ship
we'll get it with one of the engineering implementations at worst in a couple years
brittle hound
All I say, if we wont see it on release - chances we see it later drops significantly
grave canyon
sure bro
brittle hound
I want it to be a thing, but trying to be realistic with what to expect from CIG
humble anvil
it gives me hope that they upscaled the Components / added more
grave canyon
i cannot wait for it any longer cig
lone bloom
it gives me hope that they upscaled the Components / added more
Cap comps
brittle hound
I would also like to see improved shield configuration
back then when introduced 2x s3 was top tier
now we have Caterpillar and Starfarer with 3x s3
humble anvil
400-600K Hull HP minimum CIG
1Mill
humble anvil
I would also like to see improved shield configuration
It better
grave canyon
69 mil hull hp pls cig
grave canyon
i mean percy supposed to have light shields big armor
fk shields give me distortion immune and flat 69% DR armor with 420k hp
no shields
brittle hound
just big armor, never said it supposed to have light shields
humble anvil
We're talking a concept from 2020 saying it was brought up to Modern Design
lone bloom
690,420. I won't be upset
humble anvil
Updated with modern tech*
lone bloom
i mean percy supposed to have light shields big armor
Yeah but just look at the HH or something like that
2 S3 are a joke lol
brittle hound
it is
lone bloom
Since they halfed the HP of them
brittle hound
2x s3 by old standards was good
humble anvil
Instantly crumbles to a light fighter
lone bloom
and is way smaller xD
grave canyon
nobody needs shields if u got fat armor
brittle hound
well, we need to get armor first
lone bloom
Just that armor isn't implemented yet
humble anvil
nobody needs shields if u got fat armor
If it has lots of armor / hull to compensate for lack of armor, with standard 2x Shields. Fuck it we ball
grave canyon
they can just give the ship flat DR or buff hull hp to compensate till then
brittle hound
honestly, this upper deck size increase make me think it can grow on component loadout
lone bloom
I cope for 3 S3 or even 4x S4 because they thickened the bridge up by alot (and on the bridge there is also the engineer bay)
humble anvil
Lol
lone bloom
4x s4 hot diggity dog
Well 4x S3 is just Hammerhead pre shield nerf brother
aint that much
lone bloom
I mean and look how currently the direction is
brittle hound
4x s4 hot diggity dog
given how CIG throw stats of s4 around it can mean anything
lone bloom
nah it has 2x S3 - but prenerf they were pretty much what 4x S3 are now
brittle hound
it scales from 187k up to 1170k if you dismiss bengal/javelin placeholder
lone bloom
nah bro the hammerhead had 4x s4 bro
humble anvil
Yah know? Ship it live
grave canyon
shields are for beta capital ships
lone bloom
oh i mean S3 ofc
@brittle hound 
grave canyon
percy don't need no shields
humble anvil
We want to fill the gap between Idris/Polaris, and Hammerhead.
Strip the shields, 1.2million Hull
brittle hound
<@333320750951956511> <:sadkek:721029856015679558>
yeah, I know what you mean
just brought an example of how actual s4 could mean anyghing
lone bloom
I MEAN
brittle hound
CIG can add s4 shield that is weaker than s3 and call it balance
grave canyon
We want to fill the gap between Idris/Polaris, and Hammerhead.
Strip the shiel...
don't forget 69% DR
lone bloom
I would also be fine with 1 or 2 S4
(preferably 2)
Mil A stock spec ofc
or industrial A
brittle hound
shields are for beta capital ships
"beta capital ships" that still "have" better armor than Perseus?
humble anvil
Manifesting
grave canyon
it scales from 187k up to 1170k if you dismiss bengal/javelin placeholder
at the s4 point you get to bespoke shields mate
humble anvil
Just like how I'm manifesting conversion/upgrade kits
grave canyon
"beta capital ships" that still "have" better armor than Perseus?
did i stutter
brittle hound
at the s4 point you get to bespoke shields mate
yup, thats what I'm talking about
humble anvil
Grade A military, 300k ea
grave canyon
just checked and biggest s3 shield is 67k at least that's what i was able to find
so there's no precedent that they will make an s4 shield gen that's worse than the best s3
humble anvil
Two S4 Shields but babified
humble anvil
I'd take it too would be a strong weakness for how strong the ship will be
Distortions would shut it down quick
grave canyon
4x s8 cannons when cig i need my ship
humble anvil
Quad Turret
brittle hound
UEEN: specifically add shields to Perseus to increase survivability and decrease operation cost
Random SC player: no shields please
humble anvil
Go go go
grave canyon
Distortions would shut it down quick
it'd have to be pretty much distortion immune until a big size
grave canyon
UEEN: specifically add shields to Perseus to increase survivability and decrease...
yes, problem?
humble anvil
I'm just praying they don't give it the hp of the hammerhead
It's CIG we're talking about
It's either really good, or really mid
grave canyon
in all seriousness idrc
at worst it's literally just a hangar piece for me
expensive ahh ornament
brittle hound
I'm just praying they don't give it the hp of the hammerhead
I mean, HH also supposed to be heavy armored
I would expect something in that range
brittle hound
at worst it's literally just a hangar piece for me
and medbed
humble anvil
See I try to find info on hammerhead
grave canyon
and medbed
ig with a nursa
humble anvil
I can't find anything on what hammerhead supposed to be
grave canyon
i mean im saying even if it's literally unflyable i won't melt
humble anvil
Guys
grave canyon
as long as the look hasn't changed drastically
grave canyon
no man
humble anvil
To equalize a step above HH
brittle hound
Perseus will be a $900 sub cap ship
nah, it wont be $900
grave canyon
expensive =/= better ship
humble anvil
Gives them excuses to push lots of stuff into it
grave canyon
did bristerian take over your fucking account
grave canyon
its not step above HH really
different roles ye
humble anvil
It's supposed to eat HH right (?)
grave canyon
It's supposed to eat HH right (?)
yes but die to the stuff that HH will eat
bombers or heavy fighters
or swarm
literally what HH is supposed to kill
grave canyon
there isn't a simple better or worse
humble anvil
Mmm.. see that's what I don't like because HH in current environment gets bullied by hornet
brittle hound
Mmm.. see that's what I don't like because HH in current environment gets bullie...
cause no armor
grave canyon
not bombers anymore
if cig properly balances the game couple people in missile boats should at least harass percy hard imo
humble anvil
Maelstrom really edging a lot of ships
grave canyon
Mmm.. see that's what I don't like because HH in current environment gets bullie...
cuz game unbalanced
brittle hound
if cig properly balances the game couple people in missile boats should at least...
well, yeah, swarm tactics is what works
big enough bomber swarm also gonna eat/harass HH
grave canyon
for now it is what it is
grave canyon
big enough bomber swarm also gonna eat/harass HH
yeah but that's gonna take way more ships than it takes to harass percy
brittle hound
it all really depends on implementation
grave canyon
first implementation either gonna suck or be op
humble anvil
grave canyon
as with many things
brittle hound
automated/slaved turrets is fine as long as it is properly balanced
grave canyon
yeah, that balance gonna take time
sweetspot will be hard to find where it's useful in pve and good to have in pvp but when shit gets real you'd prefer to have players
humble anvil
I talked to my buddy, I don't see why and how slave turrets aren't in.... They trust the client enough, surely they can use the client to control each bladed turret instead of running it off the server

you dont even need slaved turrets on Idris
cause you have pilot pew pew
grave canyon
engineering, limitation on how many or which turrets can be slaved/automated
and fine tuning on how good they are and what they cost
humble anvil
They could drop a blade slot for specific multi-crew ships in mobi, even if it's just for remote turrets
brittle hound
for a Polaris to be a threat to anything bigger than fighter you need at least 1 gunner
grave canyon
AHEM RETALIATOR
brittle hound
AHEM RETALIATOR
should just have front turret slaved
grave canyon
nah tali either needs upgun/major rework or just blades
humble anvil
I think Perseus top turret will be slaved forward by default unless manned.
brittle hound
but looking on how its going with slaved turret it seems like CIG unable to turn manned turret into pilot weapons
grave canyon
with better shield config
grave canyon
I think Perseus top turret will be slaved forward by default unless manned.
nah mate
wtf
brittle hound
I think Perseus top turret will be slaved forward by default unless manned.
I ~~think ~~ cope Perseus top turret will be slaved forward by default unless manned.
fixed
grave canyon
i really want tali to be good, hopefully we get blade implementation with percy and it helps the tali
brittle hound
Then I want my bladed s3 by stock
I fear we lost our automated s3's when CIG decided to add PDCs
grave canyon
pdc's are just in a weird place, they need major balance
brittle hound
we dont even know what are that places lol
grave canyon
they are necessary imo they just are weirdly balanced rn
lone bloom
Then I want my bladed s3 by stock
grave canyon
they shouldn't be a hard counter to anything more than a dude or two in fighters or slinging missiles
grave canyon
thats what you mean
ye
brittle hound
they shouldn't be a hard counter to anything more than a dude or two in fighters...
PDCs should not target ships
at all
period
grave canyon
i think targeting light fighters/snubs etc is fair game
lone bloom
Idris and Polaris owners would be in shambles
grave canyon
i mean at least until we get better shield mechanics or maelstrom
lone bloom
i think targeting light fighters/snubs etc is fair game
They target everything up to 400I size
grave canyon
yea that's overkill
brittle hound
They target everything up to 400I size
including 400i
brittle hound
and still, thats a hill I'll die on
grave canyon
we still don't have the thing where low dps weapons can't stop cap shields from regening right
brittle hound
PDCs should only target missiles/bombs
grave canyon
PDCs should only target missiles/bombs
i agree but until we get to a point where a 1k dps gun can't stop a 1 mil shield from regening they gotta hit LF's/snubs
brittle hound
i agree but until we get to a point where a 1k dps gun can't stop a 1 mil shield...
LF/SNUB can just sit outside of PDC range and still harass you
its not a solution
crystal sleet
so
a friend in my server found this image
its apparently the perseus turret with a gatling placed infront of it
grave canyon
what
crystal sleet
considering the other side of the turret is offscreen, we can assume we will actually get somethign similar to what the Javelin s7 turrets et, just without the pagoda style turret
steel sparrow
what's "pagoda "
grave canyon
nah no way u can know that from the picture no?
grave canyon
there's something there that you can see but this amount of detail is too much from that pic alone
crystal sleet
if we take into account of abberation and focus...
grave canyon
fk man i guess upscaling and shit is that good
fk
what are the chances that's a pdc tho
agile tinsel
tbf
crystal sleet
WAIT HOLD ON
agile tinsel
if that is a PDC, I might be a little pissed
crystal sleet
CROSS REFERENCING TIME
agile tinsel
that's a terrible place for a PDC
steel sparrow
CROSS REFERENCING TIME
?
agile tinsel
I'm hoping they'll be on either side of the 'wings'
crystal sleet
aah nvm, thought id go check the PDC model rq, doesnt match
agile tinsel
having it block the turret seems odd
crystal sleet
that's a terrible place for a PDC
from what i believe im seeing, its a single ship gattling gun on that side
doesnt macth up with the current PDC model
agile tinsel
so like a secondary gun for the s8 cannon user
crystal sleet
so like a secondary gun for the s8 cannon user
id assume so
steel sparrow
the question is is it attached to the turret or to the ship.
crystal sleet
but in that case why would it be directly attached to the gun
i assume it is on a gimbal of its own
agile tinsel
I would have imagined that if they were going that direction they'd just put another automated s3 turret on top of the cannon
brittle hound
what are the chances that's a pdc tho
low
agile tinsel
on the back side of the ship there are 4 spots that could easily be s1 PDC spots honestly
that spot right behind the turret imo
it looks very out of place otherwise
crystal sleet
based on the silhouette and the 3d model comparison, it appears to be a Tigerstrike s3 gattling gun
wait nvm
could be mantis too, forgot they shared similar models
brittle hound
also, this looks like "photoshop" to me
quite different "detail" level and color scheme of turret and gatling
grave canyon
that's a terrible place for a PDC
ik just considering
agile tinsel
maybe the devs slapped it there temporarily just to fuck with us
creating engagement through rage bait
crystal sleet
also, this looks like "photoshop" to me
quite different "detail" level and color...
the focus and aberration of the shot could affect the lod we can see
brittle hound
a friend in my server found this image
or maybe issue is someone "found" it
grave canyon
creating engagement through rage bait
smh that's not impossible
agile tinsel
they'd do that to us
crystal sleet
or maybe issue is someone "found" it
let me ask for a link to the image
grave canyon
also, this looks like "photoshop" to me
quite different "detail" level and color...
it's not that huge of a stretch
brittle hound
it's not that huge of a stretch
I do acknowledge that
but I'm very skeptical to all the 'found" cases
it could be just someone interpret original image that way
crystal sleet
or maybe issue is someone "found" it
Heres the link to the spectrum post they got it from
grave canyon
i for sure wouldn't think that looking at the og image but after seeing the extrapolated image the og makes sense
brittle hound
or made a mockup to show their speculation
crystal sleet
its a mock up, i thought i said that?
no i didnt
i didnt specify what the image was meant to be
sorry
i got too excited to share about it
crystal sleet
anyway, this mock up matches up to what we see in the sneekpeek, the shapes match up too even with the blurriness
brittle hound
thats why I'm being suspicions on "found" cases
someone doing mockup, share it
then someone excited share it without saying its mockup
and few days later it is "in the wild" as "leak"
humble anvil
so on top of 2x S8, its going to get even more
$900 ship, told yall
its good they're doing this 'alternate' fire for the turret
DUDE
if thats the case
surely the S3 will be automated by default
brittle hound
cope is strong with this one
agile tinsel
oh boy can't wait to gun down a pisces with my s8 turret single s3 gatling
brittle hound
oh boy can't wait to gun down a pisces with my s8 turret single s3 gatling
it might be double
agile tinsel
😭
brittle hound
one on each side
brittle hound
or might be something completely different
crystal sleet
itd be double since we the other side of the turet is cut off
agile tinsel
I like my symmetric ships
brittle hound
or might be something completely different
like just a rule-of-cool part of a turret, like headlight on M60
crystal sleet
dude, equip railguns to those smaller gun slots
