[humble anvil]

All yah have to do is remove some struts and add a big fat turret on the red dot

its going to be beautiful

[crystal sleet]

in hindsight, itd have been funny if there was an ares ion where the turret would be

[humble anvil]

hold up

imma go make a cope

[steel sparrow]

ur dedication is remarkable

[grave canyon]

tbh if they don't make it so ammo is reloadable easily i think a laser turret kit should be a thing then

also depends on mag size ig

either the mag gotta be huge or easily reloadable from cargo bay or laser kit

[crystal sleet]

PEE DEE CEE

I find the lack of guns disturbing

oh they spawn us in the hangar on ptu

why tf cant they do that on the PU

[brittle hound]

cause bugs

should be Zeus cockpit

my personal big hope - CIG keep bridge configuration

I hate side-by-side configs

pilot seat should be centered

[humble anvil]

better picture with less clutter incoming kek

I didnt know the Copeus was in the game 😭

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/new-girl-winston-schmidt-nick-miller-gif-20665382

[grave canyon]

i mean on a capital ship scale being off 1m to the side doesn't feel bad at all to me

smaller asymmetric ships feel way worse to fly

[brittle hound]

its still weird and in lot of cases vision is covered

like both Polaris and Idris have struts covering your vision

struts that would not be present on centered seat

[grave canyon]

ye but all in all idc about it whereas in small/medium ships it's legit cringe

struts in general are weird, cig should do away with the majority of them tbh

[brittle hound]

well, I do care be it small or big ship
cause genuinely side-by-side so far is cringe on every ship

[reef wind]

Man.. those turrets bout to get dps nerfed harder than tracer's ass

[brittle hound]

Idris still have it's overpowered turret

its like month or two already

prob the only reason it is still not tuned back to what it remotely should be - noone care enough about it to buy T-kit

[reef wind]

Yeah but perseus is going to most likely follow in the footsteps of the ares

People get butthurt and bitch

Then nerf

[brittle hound]

we dont even know yet how capable it gonna be on release

to predict nerfs or anything

[reef wind]

Just realistic expectations due to previous track record. 10 years of it sadly

[brittle hound]

I mean, Hornet firepower still not fixed

Connies still OP

Idris still unnerfed

CIG dont really care about balance anymore sadly

[grave canyon]

that's why you should pledge combat ships for looks and not much more

[lone bloom]

People got buthurt by Connies and IDris - yet CIg does not do anything so eh

Even tho its justified on those two

[reef wind]

I pledge all my stuff based on looks.

Why own a ship if you don't like how it looks

[grave canyon]

I can't wait to cry because I can't cope hard enough

I can’t wait

[raw lichen]

According to the sc wiki the Javelin has two S8 turrets which are top rear and bottom rear - see circle.
The other marked turret is one of the S7s.
Picture taken from the Squadron 42 gameplay reveal from last year.

Wondering what kind of monster gun the Perseus gets when its supposed to be S8 😮

[crystal sleet]

Jesus, i thought they were just the normal javelin guns with an updated look

Perseus is definitely getting nerfed hard if thats the case

Wait i jumped the gun, surely the player javelins will get the normal turret

Also, ISC about 4.3.0 this Thursday, potential perseus tease!

[raw lichen]

I don't want a tease. I want my freaking ship 🙁

[crystal sleet]

We must take it piece by piece, get too greedy and we might sink

[lone bloom]

I mean it might be stronger than two javelin turrets- but don't forget that the javelin has like 8 of those turrets + the huge main turret + S12 torpedos

prob more than 8 of those S7 turrets tho dunno how many it has on the belly side

also got the strong feeling that the main turret will be upsized from Dual S8 to Dual S9... (javelin ofc)

I mean even the Kraken has Dual S8 in concept

[humble anvil]

Dual S9 for a 9 hundy ship

[lone bloom]

i mean it was Quad S8 before the turret change

[humble anvil]

oh you mean javelin

lol

[lone bloom]

don't see a reason why they shouldn't upgunn the S8 turret

yea

i literally wrote Javelin ._.

[humble anvil]

i cunt read

[lone bloom]

But either way - they removed the quad and turned into dual (which looks by miles better btw)

[humble anvil]

my brain's singular 3 braincells. 1 of which is shared between all perseus pals

[lone bloom]

But I think S9 would be fair then for the javelin as compromise

[humble anvil]

Stuck on Perseus

[lone bloom]

So ... Xero, you, me?

Because i currently don't have the braincell

[round zodiac]

3 brain cells. One in pilot seat and one for each big turret

[lone bloom]

somehow it looks like the turret is similar large as the entire bridge...

[lone bloom]

meaning the percy turret will be just as large

Crazy to think this gif is from before the upgun

[lone bloom]

I mean... its weird to think about it

isn't always a weaponsize up...

[lone bloom]

like... twice as big?

[humble anvil]

its not like i have a size comparison

[lone bloom]

like size 8 must be twice as large as a S7

[humble anvil]

50% dmg, 50% upscale?

idk

[lone bloom]

since all others (from S1 to S5) almost everytime double in size per tier

[humble anvil]

S7 aint that big

[lone bloom]

wait...

[humble anvil]

dont have the know how to pull the model for size yah know

actually ship view did decent with metrics

[humble anvil]

heeey vsauce

[lone bloom]

think the bottom left one is S5

hm might be 1,5 upscale always just like damage

[lone bloom]

don't forget that alot of the infernos / Ions gun is build into the ship

[lone bloom]

probably something like that

prob bit longer even

[humble anvil]

i think it legit doubles in size

[lone bloom]

it could

I mean we don't have any real S7

not even S6

[humble anvil]

polaris cannon

[lone bloom]

yes but its bespoken

im talking about general weapon classes

Ares are bespoken and maybe don't directly go into the size metrics

just like the polaris S6

the only size metrics we have are 1-5

so they could make it 0,5 larger than the ares one, or double it even

[humble anvil]

sec

ruh roh raggy

SC wont start

[lone bloom]

Average SC experience

[humble anvil]

so i got a s4, s5, s6 deadbolt gimme a min

i know we know but if its legit double prev size

then we can play with what we know of the Perseus

[lone bloom]

but in the end why does it matter ngl

[humble anvil]

because perseus content is perseus content

[lone bloom]

Its beespoken, and the only thing that really matters is the damage

and they can change that whenever they please

[humble anvil]

anything perseus is good content

yep it is

[humble anvil]

uhhh

tf

BRO WHAT

i cant even pull it up

LOOOOOOOOOOL

welp

ight

[lone bloom]

yeah can only place it on turrets via vehicle manager

[humble anvil]

it looks like

the entire gun is scaled 100%

its

mmmm

[lone bloom]

all non bespoken guns are just scaled

didn't noticed that till now? xD

[humble anvil]

obv they're scaled.. i geuss they can make the perseus guns as big as they want but just wanted to see what percentage of scale

so i can take the ion gun and scale it

get an idea how big S8 would possibly be

[lone bloom]

well like i market here

prob gonna similar sized as the entire ares length

if not a bit longer

[humble anvil]

ahhh my shits scuffed

prob not the most reliable shots

either a 60% or 30%

so yeah your estimate yeah

prob a nice geusstimate

one screenshot i try to get right above the weapon and take tip to tip and its 60%

depth could be playing a role, despite trying to be right over top of it

safe shits and giggles a 50% increase length and width is safe

its almost the size

of the pilot nose to the back engines

pretty big pewpews

no i didnt use that as a unit of measurement lol

my unit of measurement

@lone bloom did you just turn purple or were you always purple?

[lone bloom]

I am purple for like 4 days already

or more

also they appear to have changed the bridge 'glass' fully?

its not yellowish anymore at all

and has different kind of struts

but appears at least that the front is fully strut free at least...

looks at Connie

https://tenor.com/view/cursed-emoji-gif-25827982

[cursive drum]

No? The top turrets are S10. Side turrets are S7. Both are duels.

[cursive drum]

Nope.

[cursive drum]

2 main turrets with duel S10 and 13 “Secondaries” with 9 twin s7s with 2 S4s mounted on top and 4 twin S7s.

[humble anvil]

Fact checking Perseus simps that know nothing about other ships in THE Perseus Channel is so cringe

Ommmm

Its something easy to change as even paint can do that. Might be just not applied yet as it's not final version

[humble anvil]

Our S8s in heaven,
hallowed be your size,
your shot come,
your damage will be done, on armor as it is on shields.
Give us today our daily run.
And forgive us our kill, as we also forgive everyone who fought against us.
And lead us not into upgrading, but deliver us from the store.

❤️

I particularly like the; "deliver us from the store"

[midnight crypt]

If the landing gears line up perfectly for the small landing pads, you can fit 3 Perseus’ and still have an extra small landing pad

[vast lagoon]

Jesus lmao

I forget how gigantic the kraken is

[midnight crypt]

Yeah 270m

[vast lagoon]

Reminds me of the Infinity from Halo 4

Deploying frigates from her belly

[midnight crypt]

If the kraken stays the same with 1 S8 dual turret. Can add 3 more by having Perseus’ on the landing pads. Would be no match against a idris or Polaris

Also put a Polaris on the kraken

They need to make the jump gate be able to see players going back and forth instead of just one way. Just imagine going through and you see a kraken coming towards you in the jump gate with a Polaris or 3 Perseus’. Would also make the jump gate a bit more challenging having to also dodge incoming traffic

[lone bloom]

Lets just nor forget that incoming traffic moves, just like yourself, at extremely high speeds and will prob fly into you before you even were able to dodge

[midnight crypt]

Yeah. Why I want to make it as hard as possible and try to fit as much massive ships I can on the kraken. Some poor sap gonna be in like an F-7 and seeing a massive wall moving towards them. Or get a group of people together with capital ships and all enter the jump gate together

[lone bloom]

And then also offering a Transport from one System to another with those caps, to not risk flying into them

But requires 500k payment

[midnight crypt]

Then you’ll have capital ships colliding into each other. Also you should try turning off your quantum drive while you’re inside the jump gate. I did it in my Polaris and it became a beyblade. I want to get my hands on an idris and watch that thing spin too. You spin stupidly fast until you hit the wall and it throws you out. If you really hate someone and you don’t want them to enter a system. Be in like a javelin and start beyblading in the tunnel

[lone bloom]

I mean ofc only in the current moving Direction of the wall

[errant ice]

dont forget the 2 internal ones, which i think can fit 2-3 f7's each

[brittle hound]

Why I see trash dumpster discussions here?

Is this Drake fan club?

[lone bloom]

I mean

Its Kraken but with multiple perseus on it

Just saying, many percy will fit on and inside of the bengal carrier

[humble anvil]

It's going to be fucked

PDC boats on the kraken

On top of it's PDCs

Light fighters?

What light fighters?

[reef wind]

45 Nova tanks on deck, a perseus, and 6 ballistas. Rotate between as needed

And that's just lining the edges

[cursive drum]

Define normal?

[brittle hound]

thats not normal

thats godlike-tier

[humble anvil]

What is normal?

What is the normal ship

[brittle hound]

I think the most normal ship would be SL MAX

[humble anvil]

It constellation

All Star lanth and Max yeah that is pretty normal

I agree with Max

[brittle hound]

Connie is above normal

[humble anvil]

The store lancer Max makes me think of SpongeBob when he's going through his I'm normal phase

Lol

[lone bloom]

Just casually fronting my (for now) only plenge ship

[humble anvil]

But it's the Perseus.

I'd come

[sand hound]

it still looks quad to me

[lone bloom]

Unless its a dual barrel like the one on the meteor... it only has two barrels

I also wonder if its a remote turret since it has no "glass"?

Compared to the side turrets or actually to the percy turret since shape wise they are verryyyy close to each other it looks weird

[crystal sleet]

Its definitely remote. No need to redo a whole turret when theres a perfectly good remote turret seat

[lone bloom]

fair enough, would prob be also the largest remote turret yet so far

[brittle hound]

Un(?)popular opinion - manned turret on a spaceship is cancer, remotes superior

[lone bloom]

yes - yes it is better

I prefer to have those people on the bridge

[brittle hound]

I wish all "modern" large ships had turrets remote

[lone bloom]

so in case of boarding you can hold also better the bridge

[brittle hound]

Like Polaris, the newest UEE large ship so far, rely on 5 out of 6 manned turret

Ship flow my ass. Weapon crew should be located in protected ship area with commanding officer being near

Leave "ship flow" to mechanic/engineer crew doing maintenance/repairs

[lone bloom]

As i said, unless its dual barrel like meteor

[sand hound]

to me it looks dual barrel

but i guess we wont find out until sq42

[lone bloom]

well either way dual barrel means nothing

I mean look at the meteor

its still "one" gun while being dual barrel - and its also shit for being dual barrel

it doesn't act like two

also could be that the bottom one is just the dampener since it looks different to the upper one

[sand hound]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

all depends on how they implement it

perhaps the reason the meteor has a dual barrel at all is because they already worked on dual barrels for SQ42 such as the javalin

[humble anvil]

Quad Barrel Perseus

[brittle hound]

its just dual turret, cmon

not quad, not double barrel

just 2 big guns

which for some reason dont shoot whole SQ42 sequence

[humble anvil]

TWO BIG GUNS

Women that fly the Perseus are a better lover than anyone or anything else in the Galaxy

[lone bloom]

"in the galaxy" - you know... the ship or the actual galaxy

Also ballistic is penning through cockpit in new patch

hmm

[lone bloom]

that looks nice lol

[humble anvil]

yeah its ight

[lone bloom]

wouldn't buy it either way

but i hope percy gets the exact same skin xD

yeah the light armor patch bundle

with the sniper rifle

not a patch bundle im interested in xdd

the antium wao and aegis vanguard i bought but they're both in buyback atm.

I'm hoping the percy gets a similar skin to zeus's Solstice

[sage python]

yes that

I love it

I had it for a whole

if they fix the goddamn ass end of the zeus then I'll go back to it

i'd expect these kinds of paints for Perseus

yah know, your tan, green camo, white camo, digital gray, digital black, digital green

etc

maybe shark

[sage python]

right

i js want muh gold and grey

they added one for the Polaris sooooo perchance

[humble anvil]

OH SHIT

yeah perseus is eating good

Perseus is eating GOOOD

[sage python]

yup

[humble anvil]

is that a new paint? with 4.3?

oh yeaaaahhhh buddddddy we're getting a Perseus Paint Patch Bundle

had it on my loaner for a bit

ah yes my aegis polaris

I didn't glue it at all, it's just resting there lol

[midnight crypt]

oh XD

[lone tundra]

Gave up on repairing and finishing that model, especially since it's all changed now - may start a new project on it after we get the new model though

[midnight crypt]

i want to print out the kraken model i got. but i want to tear the entire thing apart to try to print as big and as flat as possible then put it all back together

also cheese

[lone tundra]

If you clean it up enough and end up separating the parts out let me know - I would love to print out a 5 ft+ model to hang from my office ceiling tbh

[midnight crypt]

Like I want to take the flight deck off. Docking collar would be printed separate. I also print to where I don’t glue anything together. All snaps in place. I got this model couple months ago and I have yet to do anything with it yet. Because of my job it usually drains me most of the time and would rather relax and play games

[steel sparrow]

imagine you add ads on your ships for passive profits

[midnight crypt]

Why I have the privateer. Passive income. Hoping they actually add NPCs when the privateer is released. Be a pain trying to sell stuff to a player when they could go to any station to buy it

[lone bloom]

(but the original concept model is better than the thicken up one)

also

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[lone bloom]

Well they said you still have to fly it

yourself

Also don't forget you can also build trading outposts once basebuilding exists with player shops that act like shops on stations or cities, just player owned

[midnight crypt]

I know I still have to fly it. But they are gonna have NPCs land and buy stuff from you. I’d AFK on it if they don’t have to request to land for the NPCs

[midnight crypt]

I also have the pioneer. I want to be the most laziest player and just collect passive income

"Lags a armory and medical and ship hangar"

Every ship by now has some kind of armory, its just not a dedicated room

A ship like that doesn't have space for a hangar.... and also doesn't need one
just the medical point is kinda understandable since I also think every sub cap or larger should have a medical (speaking of 100+ meter ships)

oh yeah percy MIGHT also get a armory since they thicken up alot of her apparantly

Seen in the latest sneak peak

[brittle hound]

Yeah, well, thats spectrum folks.
Folks who want Perseus to be Polaris

[lone bloom]

Perseus is already way better than the polaris will ever be

We don't WANT it to become a polaris

xD

[brittle hound]

"Please make it capital, add hangar and medbay"
Here's Polaris.
"No, I want Perseus capital with medbay and hangar!"

[lone bloom]

Polaris just like the idris rn glorified cargo haulers

I would like to see a armory or medical room, becaue it has the space for it already in the concept

but surely no need of a hangar

BUT i have to say I would like to see a battle ship version of the Percy - but not replacing the existing Percy

Like a Percy MKIII after the success of the archilles, and upsizing the model, adding some more rooms, but mainly upping the size to add 2 more main turrets

Like a small version of the battleship bengal

[brittle hound]

You mean "Bengal with pew-pew"?

[lone bloom]

There is a bengal with pew pew already

but like the PErcy MKIII being like a 200 ish meter ship, maybe 180

and having instead of 2 of the main turrets 4

like a mini version of that one

[brittle hound]

I think there's something like this in SQ42 video

[crystal sleet]

He who dresses in sheepskin, preaching the words of sweet and spirits of hype, is Himself a fox who seeks comfort in the familiar embrace of old

[timid adder]

So a star destroyer

[lone bloom]

but a star destroyer is multiple kilometers long and has way more weapons than the bengal

[humble anvil]

We'll get a Perseus MK2 after CIG makes a fudge ton of money

Or a Perseus event where you can pay $120 to upgrade the Perseus to a military variant

Like a CCU. Still compatible with conversion kits like Perseus K (Beam)

[brittle hound]

wow wow

easy on it

you gonna have copium overdose

[humble anvil]

+1 dual S8 Cannon Turret in place of the Cargo bay

Also a Medbay beside it with a small armory

I have spoken

[brittle hound]

you forget about hangar

[humble anvil]

They'll add a snub to the 2nd layer right behind the turret

Enough to fit a ....

I have spoken

Also 1 more medium computer and s3 shield

I have spoken

[brittle hound]

s4!

[brittle hound]

and also hot NPC girl as your XO

[reef wind]

What if ballistics were able to use firework ammunition. Perseus firing off giant fireworks in a Naval parade would be pretty sick

[brittle hound]

then you forget to reload and take it to hold Vanduul invasion

[lone bloom]

or if you reload and fire at the mess hall

"oops"

[grave canyon]

yeah mate we're in the fucking end times where everyone wants their fkn daily driver to fit 6 gladiuses and 3 carracks and have a t0 hospital with 1600 npc crew

people can't just accept that not all ships are do-all ships and not every ship needs every amenity

nor does everyone want to have every amenity and the burden that comes with them

otherwise everyone would get idrises or javs

[grave canyon]

i mean i wouldn't say no to a minor t3 medical room at all nor would i object to an armory or a bigger cargo bay given they can fit it without changing the ship all that much but like damn mate if i need a medbed I'll take a damn medical ship

[lone bloom]

I mean it doesn't need an armory

There will be either way suitlockers, and weaponlockers

even if there is no armory

[humble anvil]

Really hoping they squeeze a t3 Medbay

It's a combat vessel, even if it's a blockade patrol ship... You still have a crew

And you'll want basic medical onboard

[humble anvil]

Incase y'all haven't seen it

Scale of Perseus

Galaxy leak from a long time ago

They're the same sized ship (galaxy and Perseus)

@lone bloom Inb4 galaxy gets s6 cannons,

The whole way around

[lone bloom]

Galaxy casually outgunning polaris

[humble anvil]

Mhm

Probably more like 100k hp tho

[azure fulcrum]

Could i fit a wolf inside perseus? In roverbay

Egggh no

[azure fulcrum]

The height is good but width and length probably not

[brittle hound]

Ship: exist
Average SC player: will it fit in a ship not designed to carry ships?

[humble anvil]

Probably not

Only an Ursa from the looks of it

[tepid wasp]

Bringing the best pictures for this question, thank you!

[midnight crypt]

We need storage containers perfect sizes for ground vehicles so you can transport tons of them on the Hull series

[lone bloom]

ngl that the galaxy can only carry a ursa with the cargo module is kinda uf

[humble anvil]

Needs an update ong

[lone bloom]

Spartan at least

[humble anvil]

I really hope Perseus gets a beautiful cargo interior

Nice and open

Maybe those 'pillars' on the cargo elevator

Nvm. :/ was thinking about some Copium where they don't connect to the top of the Cargo room

[lone bloom]

i mean it can be like that

just has to be connected to the inner walls

[humble anvil]

Pillars making everything hard

[lone bloom]

I mean there are none in the concept artworks

But that was the reason why I was hoping for an interior sneak peak

exterior we can assume or pretty pretty already much know how percy will look like

everything behind the torpedo room is unknown

[humble anvil]

If the cargo elevator has some girth

They could fit the rails into the hull and a little of the cargo pad

I try to recall the meteor or the guardian

It

The rails hide in the hull

Same could go for the railing. Just retractable into the cargo pad/flooring itself

As it retractable with space magic

[lone bloom]

were there not also other ships that have that

[humble anvil]

I'm trying to think of a big ship with the elevator like Perseus

And it's all old ships

The 600i has it and the rails are baked into the ceiling

[grave canyon]

i mean tbh I'd rather see a vehicle carrying module with a lift big enough to carry a nova, an open floor and repair tools etc attached to the ceiling

than to have the cargo module carry big vehicles

[lone bloom]

Well I just don't get why not the entire room is a elevator as cargo module

[grave canyon]

it's modular ffs, just make it a module

[lone bloom]

like the entire floor being able to be lowered

[grave canyon]

idk tbh

[lone bloom]

but instead they choose a little opening

and throw the boxes from the ground into there xD

[humble anvil]

Lol dude

[lone bloom]

could still put it into the cargo room

[grave canyon]

that's what i said bruh

[lone bloom]

Mpuv tractor isn't throwing boxes in there .-.

Cargo MK II room

[humble anvil]

Yupppp

This baby can fit 2k scu off grid

Insane

[grave canyon]

if the door in the middle can be kept open which like idk why we can't keep doors open now then ye you can fully load it with mpuv

[humble anvil]

There was a video I think of the gakaxyr walkthrough

[lone bloom]

with engineering you can make them permanently open

[humble anvil]

When it was in whitebox

[lone bloom]

placing a small box in the doorway should also keep them open

[humble anvil]

The hangar actually BIG

[grave canyon]

yea at that point you'll just pick boxes up from the ground with mpuv and slide them in

[grave canyon]

it's slightly bigger than XXS i think but if we get a fattening who knows

[lone bloom]

I mean confirmed 2x 32 grid in there

soooo

depending on how high the room will be maybe 3 stacks

[humble anvil]

Come on baby

Girthy floor

[lone bloom]

hmm if they stick with those sizes

at least 2 stacks of 32 containers

[humble anvil]

boxes shaking violently

WE CAN FIT MORE!!!!

Okay okay okay idea for next corvette, Perseus…….. but bigger with battleship turret layout

[grave canyon]

leave the fkn perseus alone mates

[grave canyon]

it don't need to be a bigger battleship fr size ain't everything

[brittle hound]

But it can have then medbay, armory, hangar for Prospector/Vulture and 1k SCU for cargo runs /s

[humble anvil]

[humble anvil]

Ah Perseus probably get a singular t3 medbed for minor injuries

It only makes sense

Surely right? 🥺

And the Small armory is next to bridge..

🥺

[brittle hound]

and small hangar for a snub, right?

[humble anvil]

🥺

[brittle hound]

maybe for Golem

[humble anvil]

Fit a Polaris in the Perseus

tbf there are still no real aliens in SC

I mean even wikelo is only just a hologram

[brittle hound]

In early 2951, XenoThreat forces had attacked a corporate convoy in Stanton headed for the Terra system, destroying all cargo and publicly executing the crew as "collaborators of corporate greed"

[lone bloom]

I mean... maybe they wanna just display on what aliens would do xD

Just kinda weird that we didn't had any kind of interaction with XT since 4.0

[brittle hound]

get their asses kicked, which might lead to other Pyro gangs finish UEEs job

[lone bloom]

Perhaps but i mean they had by far the biggest fleet in pyro if you compare it to the other gangs we meet in the event

I mean... multiple Idrises...

Not enough perseus praise in here

[midnight crypt]

i keep forgetting i cant post GIFs 🙁

But have this instead

[brittle hound]

eww

this is awful

how can you place Drake trashcan and awesome Perseus on one picture?

[midnight crypt]

kraken's back hurt for carrying the weight of all these perseus'. gonna have so many stranded perseus' when engineering comes out and people try to solo with it

[brittle hound]

gonna have so many stranded perseus'
less than stranded Idris'

gonna see great melts coming

[midnight crypt]

A lot of idris’ I seen usually has a couple of people on them. Polaris is what I usually see everyone soloing with and would probably be stranded a lot

[brittle hound]

I've seen more solo Idris than Polaris at all

[midnight crypt]

hell, yesterday me and another polaris was having a dog fight but we kept running into each other

since we both were soloing XD

perseus is most likely just gonna be a bit more agile polaris where most of the time, youll just be ramming into people

[brittle hound]

Most of the time I just wont fly it alone

Even if you dont have friends, picking up just two randoms to man dual s8 turrets not a big deal

[midnight crypt]

yeah but it does sound like its gonna be THE main ship everyone is gonna solo with

[brittle hound]

"NPC crew gonna let me solo it. And I'll have main turrets slaved to pilot"

[lone bloom]

Tbf perseus can be duot

while polaris is still just a flying boat duo

[midnight crypt]

If they haven’t slaved the main turret to the pilot for the Polaris, they aren’t gonna do it for the Perseus. And I feel like the NPC crew would only be able to use the smaller gun turrets to keep things a bit fair. Any main turret would need a player to control

[lone bloom]

Looks at pilot slaved guns at Idris

Polaris just got handled dirty ngl

also don't forget with AI Blades we will be able to slave them to the pilot either way - the question is just when

[steel sparrow]

Before 1.0 :/

[lone bloom]

one day

[steel sparrow]

ngl we could just use ai and look at the whole exterior of Perseus tho......

[steel sparrow]

is it heresy?

[lone bloom]

I mean with some tricksy you can slave turets to the pilot already

[lone bloom]

I just use my 3D model of it lmao

[brittle hound]

its so stupid tbf

I hate it

"We dont give Polaris pilot control over torpedoes cause it is too strong weapon"

Casually drop Idris railgun onshotting any subcapital

[lone bloom]

yet giving stronger torps and stronger weapons idris pilot controlled xD

[lone bloom]

don't forget Idris T even has S12 torpedos

also Pilot controlled

[brittle hound]

yeah

you know "F*ck the Polaris"

[lone bloom]

xD

[midnight crypt]

They nerfed torps though. Gonna be certain distance away and PDCs just take them out anyways. Polaris pilot should now get to launch the torps

[lone bloom]

I mean

[brittle hound]

I'm not even talkig T-kit as a whole

[lone bloom]

Fuck the polaris is justified

but thats just unfair xD

[brittle hound]

giving pilot torpedoes and overpowered turret

[lone bloom]

looks at Perseus

With confirmed Pilot Access to 20 S5 Torps

they fucked up the polaris so the percy can shine

[brittle hound]

I wouldnt be surpriced if Perseus s8 bespoke ballistics end up being worse than Idris-T s7 bespoke ballistics

given how overtuned it is

[lone bloom]

just give it the same RPM

and increase dmg

[brittle hound]

watch they gonna tune Medusa guns with Maris being baseline

1.5x DPS over size, 6.3k burst

meanwhile Conqueror-7 with casual 11k

[lone bloom]

if they balance it around the S7 of Idris

I expect 15K DPS

[brittle hound]

if

[lone bloom]

Coping they don't balance it around the polaris main turret

[midnight crypt]

I’d expect the S8 be the slowest velocity ballistic cannon to balance out the Perseus. Making it more for fighting capital than sub capital ships

[lone bloom]

if its too slow to hit a connie i will riot

[brittle hound]

oh, thats funny

[lone bloom]

lol

is it fully charged tho?

I guess the 288K are the full charge?

[brittle hound]

yup

[lone bloom]

i mean it still onehits most ships

sure its burst is bad but full charge is devestating

[brittle hound]

so, dual s7 Idris-T turret deal more than 2x of DPS than Railgun

sure it wont oneshot and it does not have railgun range/speed

but still it is insane

[lone bloom]

I mean imagine a convoy with a Hull C and like 2 Hammerheads

The Idris could destroy a HH before the fight even starts

So even if the burst is shit, its still a very usefull weapon xD

[brittle hound]

Duo Idris with T-turret and railgun

[lone bloom]

[brittle hound]

Anyway, who else hoping for Perseus naming and already have cool name in mind??

[lone bloom]

I have the name in my name

https://tenor.com/view/smooth-brain-kitty-boykisser-gif-8234569603800668383

i got 2 names ready

might pledge 2 to have them both

[midnight crypt]

Eventually we are gonna be able to name all the ships and I don’t know what to name a single one. When I played pokemon, I never named any one of them.

[brittle hound]

call your ships with pokemon names

[amber crest]

My Perseus is the Pika-GotChu

[humble anvil]

Lop-euss

I think

Lopunny would get moderated

But yah know

Actually that's stupid

If imma name a ship, we're going in with a RSI Aurora on the Perseus

"uhhh that's not an Aurora"

[midnight crypt]

Gonna name my kraken, drifloon because I’ll be taken……

[reef wind]

Pokemon names you say?

[midnight crypt]

Gonna name the ironclad stakataka

[vagrant summit]

i have the hardest decision of my life coming up...

do i melt the perseus for a chance at idris

i feel dirty posting this

[midnight crypt]

work like 5 jobs dont sleep. got like a week til the idris drops

[humble anvil]

No lol

If you're playing with 1:1 melt without discount. Maybe. But if you have any savings on Perseus no

Here's the other thing

The Perseus will get a price hike

Genuinely, I feel it will become a $900 ship. Not a $725 like everyone assuming

It will be better than hammerhead in every way, with new tech. Lots of new paint. Huge guns. It's going to be the fomo of 2025

So if you melt the Perseus you will have to rebuy from buyback or buy again when it's $900

Buyback Before the price increase too

Really want to play f5 wars with the Idris? I wish you good luck with the artificial scarcity as well.... The whole 7 Idris they'll sell every day xdddd

[humble anvil]

Can't wait for the; BELIEVE IN GALAXY memes

[steel thistle]

you can buy back whenever it costs you what you paid for it

i have a bmm for 280 in my buy back

[steel sparrow]

if only I had my perseus......

was doing resource drive today in my Polaris(loaner) with some friends and got PIRATED 😠

ofc it happened the moment I decide to do my resource drive XOX

[brittle hound]

you GOT pirated?

[steel sparrow]

yeah

[brittle hound]

you got what, pirate Idris?

[steel sparrow]

another Polaris, a mantis and at least 2 Wolf, four F7, and a Ares

My friend in the F7 in my hanger got melted before he could take off XOX

[brittle hound]

||should've bring escorts ||

[steel sparrow]

I AM the escort

[midnight crypt]

That’s when the 100 S10 bomb you stuffed everywhere inside the ship takes everyone out

[steel sparrow]

nah the moment my engine got destroyed I kaboomed myself( and everyone onboard)

my friends did a heroic last stand defending the bridge so I could self destruct

had alot of fun tho it's a shame losing a afternoon's work worth of cargo on board

[humble anvil]

Mmmmmm

Yeah fuck PvP. Glad you had fun

PvP there's always winners and losers. Loser too much and the player will not play

They took a fight they would not lose

Cringe it happened to yah buddy

There's no counter play to the Mantis other than to bring exceedingly more firepower than the opposition.

Otherwise bend over and take it because a $150 ship said so

So dumb

Capital ship should not be getting snared by a tiny ass vessel

[steel sparrow]

CIG: here is a state of the art capital quantum jump drive capable of traveling a Capital ship at FTL,
and here is a red glowy shit that will fuck ur day

[humble anvil]

It's just a bit unbalance. Others will disagree but mehhh. Truth still stands, there's nothing you can do against a Mantis. You can't pull out without other player saying you can go

Or you get them to turn it off

Silly

[steel sparrow]

worst thing is I don't even think my PDC even fired......

do they shoot at F7s?

[humble anvil]

They should

[steel sparrow]

[humble anvil]

The people that pirated you stayed on the ass

[steel sparrow]

maybe

why are they even there at the first place? are there any valuable cargo on Alberdeen?

[brittle hound]

Eventually engineering might be solution via power drain or thermals, not letting Mantis keep QED active infinitely

Other than that - its quite missile magnet

[brittle hound]

Resource Drive cargo

It costs quite alot rn

[brittle hound]

Might be range play. PDCs have 2km range. Stay outside and you are safe

Range is essentially biggest problem for large ships. Fighter can stay far away evading fire from large ship and still applying damage cause our ships are just bullet sponge HP pool

Doesn't matter range or weapons size/type

Got hit - got HP down

Hoverbike with s1 gun can kill Idris. It gonna take eternity but it is totally doable

[humble anvil]

Proj speed and algorithm. Never getting a hit on a light fighter past 1.8k

1.6k

Don't worry! The Perseus will kill them !

[steel sparrow]

YES!

[humble anvil]

1800m/s cannons

Meta defining

Long range equalizer on the battlefield. We have no reason to doubt the Perseus's ability!

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-40k-spacemarine2-heresy-heretic-gif-15781539930698202487

[lone bloom]

Depends if you have a fighter you can delete a mantis very fast but ofc not if you fly around with a almost no crewed polaris ig

But alot of player pirates lately for some reason hmmm maybe people that got pirated themselfes while doing that Event now finished it and want to Payback?

[lone bloom]

Which is still weird, larger ships should have the firepower to shoot at longer Ranges than fighters

But even if they can the bullets are way too slow, when Flak ammo Chris

[brittle hound]

They have firepower. Just cant hit fighter on that range

The solution here could be railguns

[lone bloom]

Ik you can solo a full player HH with a fighter simply by outranging it the same way, you know, the only one ship in the entire game where its Focus is to kill fighters

[brittle hound]

Or just time CIG need to implement what should be implemented - shield recharge under low volume of fire and armor

[lone bloom]

Thats already there

But only for caps

[brittle hound]

It is not afaik

[lone bloom]

Weird seen it myself at least on npc polarises

[brittle hound]

It was said to be a thing but I dont recall it being implemented

[lone bloom]

Lmao

[brittle hound]

Individual faces recharge if not hit

[lone bloom]

Keept hitting the back shield tho

And it recharged infront of my face fully within 3 seconds as i was recharging my guns

Unless npc caps do now shield cycle.....

[brittle hound]

Shield cycle was fixed

If not broken again

[lone bloom]

Not at that time

That was pre fix

[brittle hound]

You might have just long recharge so shields passed recharge delay

[lone bloom]

But either way, a light or medium fighter shouldnt be a threat for a cap

Even if its the light armored polaris

As cig said "bounce off"

Just hope they really nail either armor or flak ammo (or both)

[brittle hound]

I would rather have turreted railguns as anti fighter mounts

Say, Strife mass driver analog

High range, high projectile speed, high accuracy

Low DPS

[lone bloom]

i mean railguns are usually not known for low dps

[brittle hound]

Well, go check. We have mass drivers for s1-s3 I believe

With quite low DPS

Its high alpha, but low DPS

[lone bloom]

Well my copium hope is that they nail flak ammo, high bullet speed, exploding near target and using a ton of shrapnell, but low RPM

[brittle hound]

Even Idris railgun is on lower side of DPS if you compare it to scaled up Deadbolt

[brittle hound]

And I instead just want it to be railgun

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

imagine a HH with a mix of them

pure horror for fighters

[brittle hound]

Realistically, for HH armor would be enough

Its not fighter hunter

Its area denial ship

[lone bloom]

._.

[brittle hound]

You just sit there and make fighters be elsewhere

[lone bloom]

well but it requires the ship to be a threat for fighters

unless fighters just go "ah hammerhead, go boom"

"These turrets are optimized for anti-fighter and anti-ordnance work and grant the ship an unparalleled ability to put up a hailstorm of firepower that swiftly removes smaller aerospace threats."

Also - fighter killer focused

as I said

[brittle hound]

I mean yes, it should erase fighters that enter area covered by HH

Its just CIG making ww2 in space game with some stupid mechanics

And MAV thrusters output being one of those

[lone bloom]

but WW2 ships were absolute shredders for planes xD

[brittle hound]

Allowing fighters juat wiggle with 10G

[brittle hound]

Cause planes dont strafe wiggle

[lone bloom]

well yes xD

[brittle hound]

And planes dont circle you at max range

In the end, I expect armor to be what makes big crewed ships be a threat to fighters

Force fighter to get closer cause you cant do ship from the range. But once you are close - you exposed to enemy fire

[lone bloom]

you know what would also fix that issue?

Damage drop off from X range...

So you as fighter doesn't just have to get close to attack vurnable points (Shield emitters, turrets) but also to deal damage at all

THe lasers because it cannot hold the thing together forever, and for ballistics because of eh... idk... spacedust

[brittle hound]

Thats exactly what armor and physicalized damage should do in my expectation

You just unable to pen that armor from range and forced to get closer to even have a chance

[lone bloom]

i mean they said some weapon sizes (depending on the armor grade) are supposed to not pen at all

no matter how close you get or how often you shoot at it

[brittle hound]

Its essentially "damage dropoff" but without damage cause I surely hope CIG at some point move away from "bullet sponge" HP pools

so far my understanding from armor (once fully implemented not just V0 shit whiich will just be a different HP pool) taking a Javelin as example like they did, S5 will have lowered damage

S4 will do minor damage

S3 and beneath no damage at all

And now scale that further with range

S4 from 3km - no damage at all

[lone bloom]

well they never mentioned range

[brittle hound]

Thats just what I would add
