Laughs in reclaimer

azure fulcrum
#

so at least 2 stacks of 12x 32 scu

#

so 24x 32 scu?

#

768scu total

lone bloom
#

you forget the catwalk

azure fulcrum
#

the catwalk cockblock the 2nd stack?

lone bloom
#

very likely

azure fulcrum
#

yikes

lone bloom
#

so you have to place at least the second stack sideways

#

maybe 20x 32

#

depending on how wide the catwalk is

#

maybe even 22x 32

azure fulcrum
#

shitwalk

lone bloom
#

i mean its great to have the catwalk, for boarding defence purposes

#

at least... it was

#

before they added the airlock at the bridge

#

because all entrances lead to the cargo bay

#

and you would have the high ground

azure fulcrum
#

the cakewalk just has rails you're very much exposed on there I believe

lone bloom
#

but still would have the high ground

#

i mean you could also shoot from the doors where you can use those as cover

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

also looks like there are barriers

#

at both starts of the catwalk

#

except for the left one back side since there is a ladder

azure fulcrum
#

just noticed the actual cargo grid is even smaller than the bay....

#

cargo platform

lone bloom
#

but yes the on elevator grid is the most shit part

#

has 3 grids on the back wall, 2 on the airlock side, 1 on the elevator

azure fulcrum
#

at least the shitwalk is above the non cargo grid to the side

#

yeah they made the grid too small in the concept

lone bloom
#

just funny to me

#

the perseus is literally better in EVERY way than the Hammerhead except fighting against fighters

#

better crew amount, heavier hitting weapons, better armor, way better cargo area, better interior layout....

#

Automated PDC's AND automated turrets

humble anvil
#

they cucking us!!!

#

i see that ceiling over the cargo room

#

smh

lone bloom
#

ok tbf HH will have better agility but thats it

humble anvil
#

HEY THO good news is Hammerhead is getting its buff

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

thats good for the perseus

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

means it WILL receive the HP it deserves

lone bloom
#

600K HP

#

bet

humble anvil
#

im betting 750k

#

pers 1.1Mil

lone bloom
#

I mean i would have said HH 6000

#

600*

#

Persy 800

#

but I don't mind being in the million area kekw

humble anvil
#

600 and 800 if the persy doesnt grow at all

#

im hoping it goes 1 million to copensate until armor

lone bloom
#

i mean sure if percy grew

#

900-1.1

humble anvil
humble anvil
lone bloom
#

But they seriously have to do something with the HH

#

so its not literally just the "eh" ship

#

I fucking don't care about the HH but the Percy is literally just so much better .-.

#

its kinda unfair xD

azure fulcrum
#

thats what I'm asking is it only a HP buff?

humble anvil
azure fulcrum
#

or are they going to improve on the turret gameplay

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

if they gonna buff the turrets is in the stars

#

we don't know

#

also gold standard Aurora btw

humble anvil
#

since perseus is coming lol.... it needs to be at a decent spot otherwise perseus having a million more HP than it will make people bitch and moan

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

yeah gold aurora is actually hype because conierge gives u one for free

#

and doesnt require you to have a game package

lone bloom
#

i wonder how they wanna do that with the aurora

#

prob just exterior stuff

azure fulcrum
#

aurora got great manueverability buff already

#

they could give it more weapons or something

#

give it an extra shield why not

lone bloom
#

couldn't care less about that ugly brick of a ship

azure fulcrum
#

I like ugly ships (secretely I like drake) only aestheticly though in practice drake ships suck

azure fulcrum
#

drake are literal NPC ships very fragile an cheap canonfodder

lone bloom
#

used the first time where i started playing SC youtube tutorials how to get into the game first.... Aurora starter package and grind up to Cutlass and rent a roc

azure fulcrum
#

soooo yeah they're not really meant to be that great

lone bloom
#

I hated the aurora after a few hours

#

and hated the cutlass even more because ugly ass ship

#

and for combat missions its still made out of glass compared to heavy fighters which were just a bit more expensive at that time and way better

humble anvil
#

man

#

CIG has a backlog of like... 50 years of generated ideas for systems with random lore and shit

#

this is "Fortunes cross" in Odin system

lone bloom
#

its not really random

#

its the Squadron 42 system

humble anvil
#

ohHHHhhh

lone bloom
#

xD

humble anvil
#

Odin to release with SQ42

lone bloom
#

so its likely done everything

humble anvil
lone bloom
#

likely yes

#

I asume fortune cross to be also part of castra

#

at least the type of station

#

fits to sherman station

#

just add a few huge turrets to it, remove all the holograms or most of them, done

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

yes

lone bloom
#

not like i would care since i would actually mainly use Sherman station or my own base

#

and only be there to buy stuff potentially for crafting

#

or building

reef wind
#

I ended up making the perseus in no mans sky

humble anvil
#

Meh tbh doesn't matter much lol.

#

Still need an M2 to show up in the shop

humble anvil
#

Thing literally non-existent

lone bloom
#

being able to grind with it kekl

humble anvil
#

Ye

#

Alt in bb

humble anvil
#

Soon

lone bloom
#

just for the M2 to not get a warbond

humble anvil
#

Well it doesn't matter It would be nice but

#

F*** it I guess

#

As soon as it pops up and shop I'm using store credit if war bond is not available

lone bloom
#

still have to cope for the Apollo WB tho

humble anvil
#

Yeah we'll get to see that one soon

lone bloom
#

355 -> 375 croberts

#

give it

lone bloom
#

2-3 weeks?

humble anvil
#

Ye

lone bloom
#

but dunno rn if I will apply it

#

knowing now with the medigel costing 100K

#

even if its just temporarily for me xd

humble anvil
#

New ship smell

#

Think is enough to cope

lone bloom
#

yeah but i don't trust it yet to get the tac xD

#

or galax

humble anvil
#

Building galaxy just for the BLD module

#

🙏

lone bloom
#

Yes and no

#

I mean it has medical too yeah

#

but also just noticed there will be XL Buildings

#

Coping that galaxy will have maybe one XL drone

#

that thing there is significantly larger than the L hub

#

Worst case just gonna ask someone with a pioneer to borrow a XL drone yeah

humble anvil
#

Ya

#

That's going to be fucked

lone bloom
#

People just gonna rent their XL drones from their pioneer for big money

#

all that just to build a fitting military base for perseus

humble anvil
#

I gotta take a break from Perseus rambling

#

I'll ttyl

humble anvil
#

@lone bloom Bro in ship chat trying to patch our leaks

#

😡

grave canyon
#

at least they said it's large

lone bloom
#

But its a sub cap sized ship, and there is no other ship other than the Pioneer that has XL drones

#

would be kinda weird no?

#

Just saying its a possibility that they might give it a XL drone so you don't literally have to go for a cap yeah

grave canyon
#

i mean

#

kinda the point of having a bigger and more capable ship for the job that it gets better gear to do the stuff better

#

itll have the downside of being an entire ahh cap

#

copefully

lone bloom
#

and also gains alot of other abilities besides basebuild itsself, would be kinda too much compared to other bld ships then no?

#

(Onboard crafting, onboard refining, onboard "basebuild" like mining,) its literally a flying base at that point xd

humble anvil
#

Yeah giving the pioneer exclusively XL and space station capabilities doesn't seem right

#

Seems fine for space station

#

I bet galaxy will be able to handle a 1 xl

#

Maybe not fast but do able

#

Maybe a change in the future to allow L to make an XL at reduced speeds significantly but we'll see

#

Yah know like 4x L drones together can make 1 XL

azure fulcrum
#

I feel like we're only weeks away from full details of perseus to be revealed the anticipation is getting pretty torturous

humble anvil
#

October 11th

#

Probably get some details

#

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we're able to fly the Perseus Citcon

lone bloom
#

like buy a XL drone at station, and switch the 4Ls with one XL

#

so you lose 4L drones but gain one XL

#

would be fine with that, switching to XL to build the few or one XL building you actually want first, then going back to station switching back to L drones and build everything else

#

ofc most importantly, a throne, a highly decorated landing pad to house the Perseus

humble anvil
#

Yes

#

Need a pimped out pad for the Perseus

lone bloom
#

like, it has its own dedicated defence walls around it

#

with in each corner dual S5 turrets on the walls

humble anvil
#

So I can login and out

#

Lots of defensive turrets and ofc a repair shop

lone bloom

It is done

humble anvil

here lol a bigger bait

#

looks more legit cut off

humble anvil
#

aboard your perseus

#

and fire some guns

lone tundra
#

I'm tempted to build another right now just to have two of them on the PTU & at release

#

Gotta build 4 more of them anyway, to reach other ships

humble anvil
#

lol

#

The Pioneer?

lone tundra
#

It'll be all of these

humble anvil
#

oh

#

nice

lone tundra
#

Hammerhead is on hold until it gets properly balanced and we see engineering, haven't needed the A2 yet, Nautilus & Odyssey are going long for the next 5+ years

For anyone who may be interested:

TDLR at bottom:

First of all apologies for the squiggles, it autosaved half way through and now i have no way of getting rid of them :(
Here are my base dimensions for referance:
Character height (Male) 2 Meters
Height of polaris door inclduing floor and ceiling = 2.5m
Lightbar= 75cm

This viewing angle was dogshit, i imagine for good reason.
In the image below are my workings, Take these with a HUGE chunk of salt nom nom

I calculated a few things based on the size of the elevator and the height of the polari's elevator door, which from floor to ceiling, inclduing both floor and ceiling at door are around 3m in height, from that i guesstimated that the distance between doors is around 4m, which i rounded up from around 3.7-3.8m to give a max range of around 15.5m.

The door spacings are to be taken with extra salt as they are guessed based on the polaris' spacings which is 4-5 ish meters, considering that the polaris is only around 30% larger this does make somewhat sense but i am sure my calculations are off by a fair bit. I also used the lightbars on the right, which are around 75cm as a rounded rough guess, and the distance between the two is approx 3 lightbars meaning that with 4 lightbars and 4 spacings, these give a distance of 11.5m, when added with the space at the top that was too hazy to calculate the distance of but we can guesstimate again that it is mabye somewhere in the range of 2 lightbars, it is safe to say that it is mabye somwehere around 13.5m at the minimum.

My estimation for the persues' elevator shaft is anywhere from 13-15.5m, this is far more likley to be on the low end and my best guess would be around 13.5-14m which for a ship of 20m in height is definitely too large, considering its engine height and the raised bridge. I really couldnt make my mind up on the distance between floors as it is very deciving, i would say my best guess is 3.75m, with the doors themselves being 2,5m

Final calculations:
(4x2)+(2.5x3)= 15.50m (High range)
(4x0.75)+((3x0.75)x4)+(2x0.75)= 13.50m (Low range)

My best guess= 14m

If 14m is the interior elevator size, then it is safe to say that we can give around 3m for the bridge and its roof, considering the elevator would be below it from the whitebox interior design. We then need to give another 4m for the engine "spikes" and the turret (the "spikes" being the pointy things that i can give a better name to), there should then be given another 2m due to its thick armour on the bottom, and likely another 5m below that for the engines again.

TDLR: Expect height of anywhere between 25-30m

My final guess for height is 28m, so smaller than i had anticipated but a bit larger than the 27m guess you had, good guess (assuming this is somewhat accurate info i have created).

Expect any size in the following range to be true
Max: 135x65x30
Min:120x55x25

My personal Expectation: 130x60x28

However, after revewing the info above, i wasnt satisifed with the ratios that my new sizings had maintined, so here is my section regarding that.

Ratios, Volume and other sizing:

Original ratio: 1 : 0.50 : 0.21 (100x50x21)

Max: 1 : 0.48 : 0.22 (135x65x30) (closest to original, just a little wider/taller)

Min: 1 : 0.46 : 0.21 (120x55x25) (slimmer width, same thickness)

Expectation: 1 : 0.46 : 0.22 (130x60x28) (slimmer width, slightly thicker)
The original volume is 105,000 meters³.

Compared to this, the Max size (135×65×30) is 263,250 (about 251% of the original),

The Min (120×55×25) is 165,000 (157%),

The Expectation (130×60×28) is 218,400 (208%).

To keep proportions closer to the original 100:50:21 ratio, the sizes could be adjusted to:

  • 120×60×25 (180,000, ~171%),
  • 130×65×27 (228,150, ~217%),
  • 135×68×28 (257,040, ~245%).
    These corrected versions keep the volumes similar but align more closely with the original shape.

The images below refer to the sizings of elevator shaft and comparison

I can't say you did I'm not a math wizard

I like free Perseus content

i am more than certian there is something off with my calculations here

Thanks a lot but are you fine ???

So you expect 120 nice

coarse cloud
eternal urchin
#

It would be very nice man...

coarse cloud
#

120×60×25
130×65×27
135×68×28

#

these are my three numbers

#

that i think that are most likley

#

although unlikley to be the last one

eternal urchin
#

if your height is correct then scaling it to 120+ makes sense it would look funny otherwise like those

coarse cloud
eternal urchin
#

Yeah i already copied it will share with my pals

#

Hell of a good job bro

coarse cloud
#

Come back here tomorrow and ill probaly do a more detailed review to try get a final number

eternal urchin
eternal urchin
#

Im very curious about the size

#

of the perseus

#

100 is not enough

#

We know bridge is wider

coarse cloud
eternal urchin
#

So expecting to grow a bit

coarse cloud
eternal urchin
#

Maybe open a youtube channel idk

#

if u love talking about those kind of stuff

coarse cloud
#

na im not after any clout

eternal urchin
#

People like us loves to watch

coarse cloud
#

and i do this kind of stuff wayyy to infrequently

#

and i know reddit and other communites would eat me alive for calculation errors ect

coarse cloud
humble anvil
#

Reddit lol

eternal urchin
#

F them

humble anvil
#

You could post size speculation and someone will tell you that you're not a Dev and it doesn't matter

#

Like fuck u too random person

coarse cloud
#

its a fair point, i think i have an entire free weekend on the 20th or something so mabye ill turn this into a video then

humble anvil
#

IDC if Perseus grew, because it's such a well consolidated ship interior wise

coarse cloud
#

not sure about the format though

humble anvil
#

But bigger is more area to get hit

coarse cloud
humble anvil
#

I think we did too

coarse cloud
#

and hull hp etc

humble anvil
#

If they give 6-8 HP per meter ^3

#

We'll eat pretty well

coarse cloud
#

so thats around 1440k hp

#

(1.440 million hull hp)

humble anvil
#

I did cross reference the old model. I don't think it grew width wise, not on the front nose area atleast

#

Ofc bridge got chunkier and more refined

coarse cloud
#

on the larger end of the spectrum, a 135x68x28 perseus has 257,040 meters cubed, so then we would be looking at 2,056,320 hull hp

Someday, a ptu will go up, and someone will notice a Perseus in the asop. It probably won't even be in the notes

Until DR is removed from every ship without armor

#

Ballistics will be ass

azure fulcrum
#

DR?

humble anvil
#

We'll be hitting people with a floppy fish every time

azure fulcrum
#

dmg reduction ok

humble anvil
#

Damage reduction

azure fulcrum
#

but I don't think thats going to ever happen

humble anvil
#

Ballistics have some of the most mediocre time to kills in comparison to lasers

azure fulcrum
#

they have to balance it somehow

#

but how I have no idea

lone bloom
#

the balance is armor lol

humble anvil
#

Yes when every ship in the game doesn't have 50%+15% damage reduction from shields

#

And they make ballistics cost something

#

That's the balance

lone bloom
#

and the limited ammo

humble anvil
#

A non military civilian ship shouldn't be flying into a death ball of ai. But understandable that there's not a lot of good ships that match that description

#

All light fighters lol

#

If we didn't have DR, ai cutty blacks would eat us alive

now that this big medical shit is done outta the way they can focus on the real bread winner

they're putting the contracts under "guilds"

like the citizencon thing from year or so ago

terrapin medical is still only 1 t2 lol

#

cig typo

humble anvil
#

maybe for 4.3.2 but its in the datamine

#

so assume it will be like: Contracts : Mercenary Guild : Foxwell : all the foxwell missions

they gave morohozov all their respective names

alot unnamed

but 4.3.2 they fixed

#

What is up with the ballistic dmg nerf in 4.3.1

humble anvil
#

what

humble anvil
humble anvil
lone bloom
#

Nerfing something that is already floorless Bad?

humble anvil
#

According to my sources CIG wanted to reduce armor physical damage reduction to 40%, not increase it to 60%. This will get fixed in the next PTU build.
My guess: CIG doesn't understand how their own numbers work. Yogi made the exact same mistake on Spectrum a while ago.

lone bloom
#

Would 40% balance it with Lasers in terms of dps at least? I dont think so

humble anvil
#

no its still bad

lone bloom
#

I think ballistics only have 20% more dmg no?

humble anvil
#

not neccessarily

#

repeatedly under perform in comparison to lasers

#

even the panthers can kill a ship faster than the current ballistics

#

"shield penetration" imma watch this video by Camural real qick

#

30% on shields

#

i thought it was 15

#

jesus christ

#

but they made shields 20%

#

ballistics are less efficient on bigger shielded ships

#

someone said they need apollo to survive the 2 week refund window kekw

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

i see they jumping the gun a little with ballistics damage i geuss finny make the apollo seem tankier

#

then after it releases they'll nerf it so perseus does more damage

killing the perseus

#

because Gladius and Idris pilots complained

#

i'll sell off my assets if they do something really dumb

lone bloom
#

More like polaris and idris people

#

Because they get fumbled in their solo caps

humble anvil
#

really dumb.. like Downsizing the released guns, making the Perseus have equivalent dps as the fkn Ares but let Idris run free with its overtunned piece of shit cannon

#

i will be beyond pissed and prob drop the game at that point

@lone bloom

it will be in here again

#

jus let me copy and paste it as its too big to put in 1 message

even w nitro limit

so i spent some store credit to try out the new vulkan update

also got that nice undersuit and helmet

DISCLAIMER:

Nearly Everything in this document is based around speculation and personal research. None of this should be taken as facts, and I do not expect people to be crying over the fact its size didnt increase or that i am wrong when IAE comes around. It is important to understand that while I try my best to be as reasonable and accurate as possible, nothing here is confirmed or denied, nor should anything in here be taken at face value.

Here is a completed write up of my estimations and speculations regarding the Perseus' Size increase:

I have split this into a few sections to make reading a tad bit easier:

1. Elevator Sidings
2. Maintaining Original Ratios and scale
3. Could we get more rooms?
4.Comparing increase to other ships
5. A more detailed overview/ TDLR;

1. Elevator Sizings:

(4x2)+(2.5x3)= 15.50m (High range)
(4x0.75)+((3x0.75)x4)+(2x0.75)= 13.50m (Low range)

My best guess= 14m

If the interior elevator measures about 14 m, then we can assume roughly 3 m should be set aside for the bridge and its roof, since the elevator sits just beneath it in the Whitebox layout. On top of that, we’d need around 4 m to account for the engine spikes and the turret (the “spikes” being those pointed extensions—I can come up with a better name for them). Add another 2 m for the thick bottom armour, and finally about 5 m more for the engines located beneath everything.

TDLR: Expect height of anywhere between 25-30m

My final guess for height is 28m, so smaller than i had anticipated but a bit larger than the 27m guess you had, good guess (assuming this is somewhat accurate info i have created).

Expect any size in the following range to be true
Max: 135x65x30
Min:120x55x25

My personal Expectation after reviewing potential elevator height : 130x60x28

2. Ratios, Volume and other sizing:

Due to the nature of the Perseus, and considering how CIG will want to maintain its scale ratio throughout concept, as its sleek design and shape was a main selling point for the ship. Due to this i have created a section regarding more likely sizings when looking into ratios

Original ratio: 1 : 0.50 : 0.21 (100x50x21)

Max: 1 : 0.48 : 0.22 (135x65x30) (closest to original, just a little wider/taller)

Min: 1 : 0.46 : 0.21 (120x55x25) (slimmer width, same thickness)

Expectation: 1 : 0.46 : 0.22 (130x60x28) (slimmer width, slightly thicker)
The original volume is 105,000 meters³.

Compared to this, the Max size (135×65×30) is 263,250 (about 251% of the original),

The Min (120×55×25) is 165,000 (157%),

The Expectation (130×60×28) is 218,400 (208%).

To keep proportions closer to the original 100:50:21 ratio, the sizes could be adjusted to:

- Minimum: 120×60×25 (180,000, ~171%),
- Expected: 130×65×27 (228,150, ~217%),
- Maximum: 135×68×28 (257,040, ~245%).
These corrected versions keep the volumes similar but align more closely with the original shape.

3. What extra rooms could we see?

If we look at the original concept, there are not many rooms to add, IF they stick with their plans of a lack of Armoury and Medical Facilities.

I personally do believe the following:

  • The Perseus will NOT receive On board Medical Facilities
  • The expansion of rooms to include an armoury is very much possible

When looking at the original concept images, there are 3-4 rooms i would personally expect to expand according to the rest of the ship

  • Cargo Bay
  • Captains Quarters & Habitation
  • Engineering Suite
  • Component Access

Unfortunately since we have no updated images of the Perseus' Interior, this is pure speculation and i cannot provide any evidence apart from estimated size increase to support these claims.

#

4. Comparing Size increase to Others

There is one main ship that the Perseus should be compared to in terms of size increase, considering that it shares many assets with it, That ship being the Polaris.

The Polaris was originaly concepted at 155m, but grew to 166 meters after its concept was completed and it was released in November of last year. The 11 meter difference is not much, however there is a lot to look at below the surface of this concept.

Firstly the Polaris' concept changed by an incredible amount from OC, with the Nose turret originally being concepted as "Automated" and many of the rooms were changed, removed entirely or reduced in size to allow for the addition of a larger cargo bay and more importantly two new rooms. A Brig and a medical facility.

For reference: if we look at the Polaris' 7.1% gain. If applied to 100m (the Persues' Original Concept length), it becomes about 107.1m.

Warning: The information in the below paragraph is taken from sources that have calculated the estimated Length of the apollo from its new exterior images

Another ship worth looking at is the Apollo series, these were originally concepted at 43m long and 30m wide, and have grown to approximately 66 meters long and 42 meters wide. The Length grew by about 53.5% while the Width grew by only 40%.

If we apply these numbers to the Perseus, it becomes quite silly since the Perseus would have to scale up to about 153.5 × 70 to maintain similarity to the apollo series.

Unfortunately i cant conclude much from this info, but it is very interesting and important to note when looking at how likely it is for larger sized upscaling.

**5. The final conclusion/TDLR; wowza **

I strongly belive that the perseus will fall in the following sizes. However my expectations are to be taken with some extreme salt

The Expected/Evidecned range:

125 x 62.5 x 26.25 - 128 x 64 x 26.88

I wont touch up on this as i think it is explained well in here, however i will give reasoning and explantion for my personal expectation.

My personal belif lies on this number below:
127x63x26.5

There are 2 reasons for this:

  1. CIG: CIG has stated that they aim not to upscale ships, and one of the main selling points of this ship was its small crew capacity and size for its firepower, meaning that any extreme sizing increases could cause a large amount of discontent among the community.

  2. The Height Dilema and Ratio: I have tried to be as accurate with the height, but after re-doing some maths which i wont bore anyone with I found myself a lot more coumfortable with the height sticking on the smaller end of sizing. The ratio of my person belief is nealy 100% accurate in comparison to the original, with “My personal Expecation” having the following ratio: 1 : 0.496 : 0.209

Final Note: Please just enjoy your perseus ( I think ill be naming mine the UEES Artemis 🙂)

Enjoy :)

#

(Apologies, you might recoginise section 1&2 from my previous messages) not much has changed about them

#

Also i might make a youtube video on this soonTM

#

If we can name Perseus on launch.. I'll be giving mine the : "RSI Aurora" treatment

#

"oh its an Auror LN"

#

"NO THATS NOT AN AURORA

coarse cloud
#

lmfao

humble anvil

#

A size increase of that much would explain the s8 and 4x pdc rumors.

humble anvil
coarse cloud
normal fossil
#

Also some form of medical facilities, maybe not a med bed, but as it was a patrol boat, it should have a way to take care of any injured crew. Seeing how it existed before med beds (regen) did, and it was usually on its own.

coarse cloud

humble anvil
#

If Perseus scaled up to about 130Meters in length, it would still be a better ship than the Polaris thats for sure

#

as what

#

what's the ratio?

#

playable area wise

#

not filled with useless crap

normal fossil
#

The main advantage the Perseus had was size a speed on the Polaris

humble anvil
#

I dont want the Perseus to increase in size... tbh

coarse cloud
normal fossil
#

It’s now an easier target which is why they probably upgunned it

humble anvil
#

but ofc imma eat whatever slop CIG gives me

coarse cloud
normal fossil
humble anvil
#

and now there's the idris and polaris in the game ... so the s7 are fine but they're not going to sell

#

especially with the over inflated Hull points those ships have now

#

but honestly their volume to hp ratio aint even that bad

humble anvil
#

its just every other ship has like fucking... 2 hp per meter vs their 6 or 8

i wouldnt be against Capital ships being in a league of their own they basically are now but man...

yah know when and if the next thing slightly below it is 6 football fields away in terms of survability

#

like *whistles

normal fossil
#

They just need more reasons to fight rather than boredom

lone bloom
normal fossil
#

Or at least large ship PVE missions

lone bloom
#

And as you said yourself there is 0 reason to spent that time to kill a cap in tje first place

#

Zero gain from it unless youre protecting something like hathor

humble anvil
#

yup

coarse cloud
#

give or take

humble anvil
#

there's legit zero reason to kill a cap

#

waste of time

coarse cloud
lone bloom
#

Never seen a idris or polaris having worth cargo stealing

#

Except for the current event but even there its now useless

coarse cloud
#

one really werid comoddity

lone bloom

Extremely rare

coarse cloud

#

Also would prefer to kill a hull c or e

#

Than to fight a idris

humble anvil
#

hmmmmmmmmmm

lone bloom

#

but also org v org and controlling areas would be my main reason

lone bloom
#

coughs in bengal

humble anvil
#

im curious if the red contract polaris has anything of value ravit

normal fossil
coarse cloud
#

new concept:

#

Rsi Perseus X

#

10x larger in every dimension

#

size 80 guns

lone bloom
#

canon as big as the polaris lol

coarse cloud
coarse cloud
#

same size as the goddam bengal

#

#️⃣ f*ck the vandull

lone bloom
#

Also any thoughts about how many "parts" the Perseus will have? Like the engines, bridge section back hull, front hull?

coarse cloud
#

i do

#

in both ways

humble anvil
#

nose, body, tail. ENGINES BLIPS, 2 wing blips

coarse cloud
#

components and rooms

lone bloom
coarse cloud
#

Top floor: Bridge, Engineering, Component access?

Middle floor: Habitation for crew, Captains quaters and habitation, Mess hall, Torpeedo room, Turret Access, (Medical facility on the low chance we get one)

bottom Floor: Armoury, more component access, cargo room

lone bloom
#

that wasn't the question we know what rooms the perseus has xd

#

I was asking for the damage model

coarse cloud
#

oh

#

thats fine silly me i misread your question

lone bloom
#

Aka the stuff that turns red on the HUD if you shoot different parts of a ship

coarse cloud
#

nvm lemme re-write this

lone bloom
#

Well my current bet would be :
Engine connecter, 4 Engine Parts, Main Body, Bridge Section, Front Body (maybe the two wings on the side additionally)

coarse cloud
#

Bridge/top floor split into two parts

4 Diffrent damage points (1 for each engine ) (image)

Main engine connector/body

Front body, Middle hull, rear body

#

thats for me

humble anvil
#

they could fit another turret on the back

coarse cloud
#

what kind of turret

humble anvil
coarse cloud
#

both of them can face backwards well

#

but only the top can point forwards

coarse cloud
#

Although I belive there will definitely be a split for hull and bridge

lone bloom
#

There is?

#

Hull red, wings kinda same color as bridge because lazy

#

and bridge

lone bloom
#

could make a "topview" one too

#

since thats how it would be on the HUD

coarse cloud
#

Oooooh

#

I like that

lone bloom
#

Blue stuff being destructeables

coarse cloud
#

very nice indeed

lone bloom
#

so.... technically 5 body parts

#
  • destructeables
coarse cloud
lone bloom
#

technically 6 since surely the wings on each side of the bridge will be different parts

lone bloom
lone bloom
#

I mean they are on any other ship too

#

why wouldn't it be the case then on perseus too

coarse cloud
lone bloom
#

you can shoot of singular weapons of turrets

coarse cloud
#

Im gunna try create a paint for the perseus

#

gimme 15 mins

lone bloom
#

just never happens since they are likely the hardest to hit target of an entire ship xD

coarse cloud
#

what theme though?

lone bloom
coarse cloud
lone bloom
# coarse cloud lmfao

if that paint (originally its red black, i just recoloured it myself) would be available for perseus

#

instant buy

#

not even a hard paint to make very surely

#

I mean its just grey with contrast/accent lines in a brighter color

#

and a bit black for engines and wings

coarse cloud
lone bloom

I asume you use Microsoftpaint? kekw

like what the fuck is that a powerplant ? The main part of the ship

instead of making the hangar bigger

and making it two layers big

that was never really gunna happen tbh

im curious as to what this engineering room is, ive never lingered around much in it

idris im pretty sure doesnt have something as big

just small paragraph

?

humble anvil

STF tag is Straight to Flyable

river thistle
#

STF usually means Straight To Flyable.

coarse cloud
#

oh you havent seen

#

oh

#

im high

#

god my brain aint functioning

river thistle
#

I'm wondering what it means for this Paladin link, since the Paladin is a concept and thus, can't be STF

humble anvil
#

idk why idris P and Perseus were put beside eachother commlink wise

#

this was all before the Apollo commlink

humble anvil
#

but Idris P is staging so aint a clue

river thistle
coarse cloud
# river thistle ?

i thought you were saying something in regards to another small message i sent regarding perseus

#

basically

river thistle
#

Dunno what WIP means, that could help taking a more accurate guess

coarse cloud
#

cause i know a few ppl who use STF

humble anvil
coarse cloud
#

as "i swear to fcking......"

river thistle
#

That's a good guess

humble anvil
#

Perseus page could be done... its just "TBD"

#

but yeah watching if it changes to WIP or no tag, then she coming

coarse cloud
#

also where did thise whole carrack sizes ship come from?

humble anvil
#

like the RSI Apollo doesnt have a tag

humble anvil
#

and shes coming

coarse cloud
#

you think they might delay perseus?

humble anvil
#

no

river thistle
#

That's not what's being said here

#

Apollo is literally coming next patch

#

Not in 3 months

coarse cloud
#

true

humble anvil
#

Its mega cope but i think its possible that someone may be trying to push for Perseus at Citcon

coarse cloud
#

@lone bloom whats the whole thing about carrack sized ship at iae

river thistle
#

They don't usually make any big sale at CitCon on the pledge store, I think that'd be a mistake for their funds

humble anvil
#

while esperia stinger and paladin .. which i find weird for the paladin, that it could even see citcon

coarse cloud
humble anvil
#

maybe it is IAE prep but no IAE prep on commlink ... yet....

coarse cloud
#

same with ILW this year

#

would have been super underwhelming

river thistle
#

[[Stinger]] is the missile boat isn't it ? Vanduul equivalent of the Gladiator kinda

frigid sentinelBOT
coarse cloud
#

without idris

river thistle
#

Yeah that's it

coarse cloud
#

intresting you say gladiator

#

i would say more simmilar to vanguard

lone bloom
#

there are also three unnknown ships in greybox

coarse cloud

anyways if this entire room is the difference between Capital and staying sub-capital ... keep it sub capital because this right here... is a piece of shit

it redirects to promotions

so you have to go back and go a step above number

because the promotion page actually errors

hmm I jumped from 40 to 69 and it stuck on that one, seems it has to be done in order to see what actually exists, if jumping to a number that doesn't it keeps the last real one

that's cool though

This is what i want to see

me after realsing that TBD means "To be Designed" Instead of "To Be Determined"

(a joke)

ooooo

true !!!!!!!!!!

but

#

couldnt they just use WIP?

I geuss they could TBD to then WIP

and no ones designed it yet to wip

luckily we know it isnt the case

yeah idfk

#

the idris P being next to the perseus in comm link scares me

and the P is "STAGING"

isnt actually a live link...

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN CHRIS?!

humble anvil
#

let me see if i can find that idris thread comm

proper ledge
#

Idris-P waves at citcon?

humble anvil
#

no

#

i think what happen is the idris P comm link next to the perseus was that commlink about the times for idris waves

coarse cloud
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

proper ledge
#

ahh yeah, I'm noticing they aren't in order by release. Just when they started

#

the most recent is the medical at like 50 and the Perseus is 38. So that makes sense if they took down the Idris-P comm-link once the waves were finished.
