Stinger is a heavy fighter

Glaive is medium

Do I upgrade my triage to medivac

I already have ccu

[midnight crypt]

Triage is just slightly faster while medivac has a bit more combat power and armour

I would

[lone bloom]

Another reason why perseus is superior

no stuff that could go missing since bespoke

[humble anvil]

The problem is is this patch It's not giving people their pledge stuff

Some players are legit full white

Wipe

[lone bloom]

maybe thats why i only have the vanguard

?

[humble anvil]

Possibly

[lone bloom]

I mean there is no new event so idc

[humble anvil]

Maybe not crediting you properly

I got a feeling they're going to have to wipe the database

[lone bloom]

would only park out the polaris if it would be needed/benefital for an event rn but otherwise meh

[lone bloom]

did you not wanted a wipe? xd

[humble anvil]

Yeah I don't mind

[lone bloom]

then I lose the skeleton armor you gave me

and yes im still using it lmao

where’s this pic from tho

[humble anvil]

monthly report

[humble anvil]

july i think

yup

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20724-Star-Citizen-Monthly-Report-July-2025

[steel thistle]

surprised there’s no september one tho

[humble anvil]

then august was the elevator

well september report is in like 2 weeks

[steel thistle]

yes

[steel thistle]

why they drop the august one on the 4th?

[humble anvil]

because its the monthly report for the month of august

[steel thistle]

so where’s the september one 🙏🏻

[humble anvil]

because september isnt up yet

[steel thistle]

august just started on the 4th of august

[humble anvil]

october 4th ish yeah we'll get the monthly report for september

[humble anvil]

prob cause they made the page on the 4th and edited it as it went

let me see if i can find if theres a september page wip

[steel thistle]

percy is probs done now anyways they’re just waiting for citcon or iae so they can have a big release

[humble anvil]

they do have....

a few weird ones

[steel thistle]

yes

[lone bloom]

Literally the reason why I said it

did you count it if its always 4 shoot salve?

[humble anvil]

let me check

[lone bloom]

it is

lol

[humble anvil]

Roadmap-Roundup-September-24-2025

[lone bloom]

its 4 salve

that why we thought its very high RPM but no its 4 salve from 4 barrels

[humble anvil]

yup its 4

wow

it was there in front of us all this time and we aint never question it

thats literally what they're doing xdddd 2x S8 guns with dual barrel so effectively QUAD S7

https://tenor.com/view/aplausos-clapped-leonardo-dicaprio-clap-slow-clap-gif-12389001

[lone bloom]

very likely now

[humble anvil]

nah its legit thats what it is

I geuss they could STC

i thought it was weird

like they got rid of the middle barrel

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-emperors-new-groove-its-all-coming-together-gif-12813012

[humble anvil]

if i even mention this cope in reddit lol it'll get downvoted into oblivion lmaooo

[lone bloom]

imagine in spectrum

[humble anvil]

but yeah so anyways im happy with this info

[lone bloom]

well its a 50/50

Look meteor

[humble anvil]

the only thing i dont like is it doesnt automatically firing holding down the clicker

that isnt great

[lone bloom]

but still in the video it looks faster than the meteor

https://tenor.com/view/batman-thinking-gif-18107621495886085895

[humble anvil]

random ass lasers in the sky

lmaooo

bullets coming frmo nothing

the perseus is firing way faster than the Meteor

like twice as fast

[humble anvil]

legit me spam clicking left click lol

afterall it was prob just show n tell on perseus not something to be exact with lol

but if it does fire twice as fast as the meteor and more like the Idris oh boy

[humble anvil]

hey ravit

Perseus quad barrel

https://tenor.com/view/pet-cow-gif-3002541257208865289

@lone bloom

You see the multicrew pack in store?

[lone bloom]

?

[humble anvil]

hammerhead name reservation

[lone bloom]

lmao

[humble anvil]

surely perseus will get name reservation?

[lone bloom]

why do they sell that

while perseus is not even released

[humble anvil]

sec

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-cat-huh-small-cat-huh-what-gif-2593177363967991691

[humble anvil]

hmm so yeah no way to gauge anything when it is a bit discounted

i think with them putting those 4 together like that

tells a story

oh wow let me see if i can find something i did lol

anyways its irrelevant lol. back when i edited the pack so it was like a "Blockade Pack" and it had the persey and hammerhead blah blah in it

def think pers gonna be biiggggg money espec with them grouping those 4 ships together into a pack lol

[lone bloom]

hmm

is that an actual pack?

you can buy?

couldn't you not just... do the mathing math

unless they choosed the percy concept price in there

[round zodiac]

is double barrel as expected, can see the gun in the monthly report pic and its way oto the right

cant AI in photoshop like, extrapolate the monthly pic into a 3d model at assumed scale by the angles?

[humble anvil]

this?

yes

its legit

[humble anvil]

im trying to see if inforunners will comment on the cope

the image is so small

[round zodiac]

the manned turret head has the barrel off center, so unless its literally an Ares mount style, i am not concerned

[humble anvil]

theres two guns on the turret for sure

double barrel medusa cannons go brrrrr

[round zodiac]

oh was there 3 barrel coping?

[humble anvil]

no

[round zodiac]

well then i clearly misunderstood my awful skimming skills

[humble anvil]

well tbh i went extremist

lol

but ye the middle barrel is gone

its dual barrel and design of gun was changed

[round zodiac]

is gone, was there ever a third barrel?

[humble anvil]

unless it is tri barrel and we just cant see it !!!

imagine if its quad barrel

and it rotates

but not gatling

[round zodiac]

quad barrel looks bad unless applied very carefully

[humble anvil]

that would maybe look stupid

[round zodiac]

quad barrel has to bt THE thing on the ship

it cant be an awesome ship with 4 quad barrels, gotta go full centurion

[lone bloom]

I mean...

2x Centurion

[humble anvil]

imagine they make the persy gun fucking tri barrel

and its like

[round zodiac]

another good quad barrel

anyone old enough for C&C Generals?

[round zodiac]

Tri barrel is the IRL battleship standard, yes?

[humble anvil]

if the barrel look like that lol

[round zodiac]

USNavy likes tri barrel

so i guess the 'man' in the 'manned turret' on the Perseus is just right between the barrels

[humble anvil]

I think tri barrel is too much lol but if it was quad barrel like how meteor discharges maybe the volleys are one side of the turret shoot at a time

would explain how they got the volleys

because the volley isnt simutaneous

[lone bloom]

but where would the third barrel go...

I mean it cant go in the middle

[humble anvil]

maybe its hidden by the first middle

[round zodiac]

dangit why cant i paause gifs

i wonder if its burst firing 1-1-1-1 from 2 barrels

[humble anvil]

or with meteor shooting

[tawny fern]

i hate that i cant post gifs

[humble anvil]

its significantly faster than meteor.. i know this shit is old but

brother man

[round zodiac]

certainly coming out in 4s. that double double shot makes the most sense

espiecailly since meteor is RSI

i hope to see more proprietary things like MISC suction tractor beam on the ATLS go to other things

the RAFT should zurp things up to its racks automatically

rapidly cargo deployment is its whole thing

[humble anvil]

ye dual barrel makes the most sense

but

the angle of it

[round zodiac]

But you manifested buffs in the past

[humble anvil]

the picture .. its looking pov from the left

to the right

so we see the side of the gun

and it straight up looks like

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/gepard-flakpanzer-flackpanzer-gepard-aaa-air-defence-gif-7157216123218625565

[humble anvil]

ah you know what

thats how the meteor shit is

its not side ways next to each other

ones lower than the other

[round zodiac]

I don't understand the sketch

They wouldn't

Not my preseus

Heh prereleaseus

[humble anvil]

meh idk lol

need more meth

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-drugs-drug-snow-animal-gif-10335506710319479131

[humble anvil]

does have Idris fire rate tbh lol

[round zodiac]

She's quite a slugger

[lone bloom]

make it also sound way heavier CIG

proof you can do sound design after pollo and meteor

[humble anvil]

audio clipping with idris guns as well lol

so lame

Alpha-432-Patch-Page-WIP with all three of those ships following suit....

SOOOOON WE'LL KNOW

[sand hound]

polaris promo video also show cased it killing the idris, never believe in promo material

[humble anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/vício-addicted-need-gif-25596127

[sand hound]

it could fire that fast but it could be devs putting fake numbers so its more visibly shooting

[humble anvil]

prob the latter

[round zodiac]

promotional materials isnt game info, its a car commercial

[humble anvil]

The Turtle went to a Mercedes dealership to beat the hare.

its just fact

just like how perseus will be god tier

trust

[lone bloom]

I mean it absolutely did before torp nerf

And absolutely still can if used correctly

Majority of sc players - esp whales - just dont want to use their brain and just want to go my ship bigger therefor better

[sand hound]

as someone who has fought many polari its not a threat

just have a brain and dont do something stupid

[lone bloom]

Not to fighters, to a idris? It is

If its not a idiot polaris which is as i just said, is common

[sand hound]

at range pdc's take out torps and s10 rail gun or beam melt polaris engine pods leaving it fucked

[lone bloom]

One torp gunner, pilot and a dude in a firebird is all you need in a polaris to kill a Idris

[sand hound]

now in cqb it can be dangerous but just dont try to dogfight

maybe if you only have the base pdc's

I havent had any issue with firebird and polaris with full pdc loadout but that could just be survivor bias cause the firebird and polaris didnt have right timing

[lone bloom]

Funny enough still more crew than a perseus would need

[sand hound]

isnt that the same number?

[lone bloom]

Perseus needs pilot and one gunner

[sand hound]

the bottom gun?

[lone bloom]

Technically

It would just speed it up

[sand hound]

thats like 50% of your dps being ignored

[lone bloom]

Could just switch to it once top turret runs out of ammo

Just a matter of how fast you wanna destroy it

Not if

[sand hound]

are you sure you want to be in a battle of attrition against capitals

the percy is much more fragile in comparison, a polaris or idris only had to get lucky and take out an engine pod for the percy to lose its advantage

[lone bloom]

"Just have to get lucky"

Maybe full ship just explodes if lucky i guess

[sand hound]

i would be surprised if the engine pod tanks more than 2 railgun hits

the hammerhead nose implodes from 1

[lone bloom]

I would be more than suprised if they can hit exactly that specific engine mid fight

[sand hound]

the percy is not exactly nimble

its just relatively more nimble than a capital

[lone bloom]

And that also implies they are facing each other or the percy having its back to the idris

Which would imply that the percy pilot has 2 braincells

and that said idris has a railgun in the first place

Which is fairly rare

For a reason obviously

[sand hound]

fair

[lone bloom]

There are just alot of "ifs" in your Argumentation xd

And all of them are very low percentage of Happening let alone all combined

[sand hound]

alot of inevitabilities

even from the front at a small angle you can hit the engines

sides, back, top, bottom are all much easier

[lone bloom]

You can, but could you on 5 or more km precicely hit them?

Doubt so

On a non moving target sure, but not on a target that moves towards you at all costs and trying to avoid that Single shot that could save it

As you said, would be a extremely lucky shot

[sand hound]

you forget the aim assist

[lone bloom]

Which shouldnt exist in the first place and also applies only to the laser ?

I mean we will See either way in 1 1/2 months but just from what we know rn and from what i saw idris pilots doing in the current pu

Unlikely most would survive that encounter

What do whales always say, a Single person shouldnt be able to destroy a ship with multiple peoples in it easily

Works in that Szenario too, just that its the idris as Single person

[round zodiac]

just gotta fly directly into the enemy death cannons and clog them with wreckage

[lone bloom]

Average hammerhead pilot

[humble anvil]

1 gunner and a pilot

[lone bloom]

Or any drake ship

It is wreckage with engine to Beginn with in the first place

[humble anvil]

Really dislike the constant throwing PVP into the equation

Bro lemme have my ship, fuck up some PvE m2s and let me be me but can't have shit cuz someone got their engines blown off

It's so fucking annoying

Engineering needs to come, all this stuff needs to come

[lone bloom]

Most importantly

Perseus has to come

[humble anvil]

There shouldn't be a solo Idris, ever

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Unless dude is chilling

[round zodiac]

just Captain Jacking around the system

[lone bloom]

Meanwhile 99% of All whales: wdym i am not supposed to fly my huge capital ship meant for 10+ people alone?

[humble anvil]

I stg if Perseus releases some half baked bs in comparison to Idris turret im done dude

[round zodiac]

and every org having more ships than people

ive been saying for a while that the game should have a F2P landlubber tier with no ship 😄

or $1 so every goldseller bot pays $1 to get banned

[lone bloom]

I mean its easy to get out of that

You do not need a ship to start

[round zodiac]

yea, we will need more staffers than captains, really

[humble anvil]

Star Citizen iron man mode, you can't crew other people's ships, you can't join parties, and can't pickup stuff other people drop

[lone bloom]

Technically only need to know someone that would either accept you as crewmen or just rent his ship to your for like an hour

[round zodiac]

group ironman is kinda how i play most games anyway 😄

[lone bloom]

After that you can just rent your ships until you can buy one

[round zodiac]

i like to renassaince man my way through games, where possible

trade and markets are a crutch!

[humble anvil]

Ironman would unironically be awesome challenge for a time

Then you get the ultimate iron man

No deaths

[lone bloom]

And cant use your plenge ships*

[round zodiac]

can go one step further and do Goblin Mode where you cant even chat except in language a goblin might use

and emote

[round zodiac]

zero to hero RP is common for Elite Dangerous players

[humble anvil]

Ugh 5 years of tech debt

[round zodiac]

even as a billionaire with max rep, to keep things fresh, they'll do a 'passengers zero to hero' for example, only playing with their profits from that game loop

[lone bloom]

Well i mean that and with his other rules, literally have to get out there yourself

[round zodiac]

so you wouldnt, like, do cargo hauling missions to money max into a fighter ship

[lone bloom]

Which actually would also work ....

[humble anvil]

Everytime someone says Perseus I feel like I'm getting cat called "pspsps..."

[lone bloom]

You just have to wait at a landing pad

https://tenor.com/view/pspspsps-neature-walk-neature-gif-17509511

[round zodiac]

/wave
/point

[lone bloom]

I do think its still fairly easy

Homelocation in pyro

[round zodiac]

yea, ive seen the challenge mostly in Runescape where people are less... locked in. and more dismissive

[lone bloom]

So you spawn at a station....

And wait at landingpaf

[humble anvil]

Start at a18 go sewers . Steal some gear, sell to vendor. Or pyro

[round zodiac]

and less hopeful for coop content

[lone bloom]

Or that once its available

[humble anvil]

Atleast with a18 soon tm can buy a ship after looting a little

Astro Armada

[lone bloom]

Dont have to

[humble anvil]

Rent

[lone bloom]

Only have to get enough to rent

[round zodiac]

throwing trash in a can should give 1uec

bottle return

[humble anvil]

Then off to the rice fields

[round zodiac]

gig econmy

[humble anvil]

Bunkers

[round zodiac]

walk from lorevil to a bunkerrr

[lone bloom]

And then dying of thirst

Since you have to start with Zero money

Best way prob still just to wait at a landingpad, hoping someone leaves his ramp open

[humble anvil]

I sleep

[round zodiac]

i think emotes to ask for party makes the most sense for a goblin mode

[lone bloom]

But rule was that you arent allowed to group

Just Grouping up with others makes it way too easy

[round zodiac]

oh i was back to goblin mode, not ironman 😄

[lone bloom]

Both

In one

No Ship, no vehicle, 0 uec, no chat (f12) no party

[round zodiac]

not even X4's Stranded start where you start in prison starts you with a small fighter ship 😄

[lone bloom]

Well supposed to be a challenge

[round zodiac]

wait i wrote that twisted

X4's Stranded start railroads you into a small fighter

this would be more naked

[lone bloom]

Bet

Now you dont even are allowed to have a undersuit at start

Have to loot it

[round zodiac]

"sorry i cant go to space today, lost my undersuit"

[desert gorge]

So what the hail is gking on with the Medusa cannons is it S8 or Quad S7 now o-O

The turret seems bigger than befote concept so assuming S8 o-O?

[round zodiac]

S8 was already soft confirmed by devs, I don't see it being quad though. Double barrel 2 shot burst like meteor perhaps

[lone bloom]

We say quad because it may be ultimately 4 size 7 barrels

Aka dual s7 per gun, and they likely decided to say its s8 therefor

[desert gorge]

Anyway its gonna be big pew!

[desert gorge]

Battleship gorgeous movie

[humble anvil]

effectively quad s7 but with the s8 medusa size rating

so thats going to make penetration a whole lot better

There's a hole in your right wing!

-what right wing?

tbh penetration isnt always the best.. but in star citizen's sense its gooood

[crystal sleet]

guns so powerful they punch holes in the fabric of space

[coarse cloud]

good idea

[humble anvil]

Even s10 railgun doesnt do that

[crystal sleet]

Medusa Cannons can do that because they are smaller diameter rounds, less drag against dark matter

Crys in emptt wallet 🤣

[raven jetty]

Imagine if quad though - never happening, but Quad S8's on a singular turret? Fuckin' terrifying.

Quad S8 is equivalent of a one S10 right ?

Yes

yeah have the full red black armor one

[humble anvil]

ight time to do some bullshit cope

okay so it is 1600 alpha per barrel on a S5

S5 1600 , S6 2400 , S7 3600 , S8 5400

So Perseus would have an Alpha of 5.4k Per Barrel, totalling the typical 1 barrel alpha of around 10k.

But this is with a fire rate of 68.

but if its 50 rpm

6100 Alpha per Barrel, equaling the initial 12.4k alpha we assumed if single barrel and 50 rpm

https://tenor.com/view/ironic-christian-bale-patrick-bateman-american-psycho-oh-yeah-gif-5693998

still looking around 24k per turret

making this, closely relevant

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-spongebob-imagination-gif-8482232397907610559

had a dream about the Esperia Stinger

had like a green background, ship tilted sideways facing the POV, and it's WIP Tag was gone before citcon

very soon

[foggy silo]

i want it nowwww

[humble anvil]

the first comment

makes me want to blow my brains out

[foggy silo]

he is trying to raigebait u

[humble anvil]

bro must be blind

[foggy silo]

and he clearly dont own a perseus

[humble anvil]

clearly not a perseus enjoyer

i gotta charge my mouse so imma be away for a little but maybe on my phone

[lone bloom]

"likely pdc" ... on a moving turret

would be counter productive eh

[humble anvil]

I mean

Lol fuck it I guess if PDC

Then it can shoot all the light fighters for me

Or the turret guy

I'm bored now

[lone bloom]

funfact, polaris somehow now appeared on asop

another funfact, you cannot land it at onyx

[humble anvil]

oo

ya

lol onyx too small for it

[lone bloom]

wanted to use its medbay to respawn

just to realize its to smol

[humble anvil]

in regards to your antenna thing

[lone bloom]

so it might pull the antennas in

[humble anvil]

if there are any

antennas may not exist

tbh polaris didnt have antennas so this will be interesting

the little antennas on polaris concept are big enough that you can see they're little wings

:v

fuck

yeah the perseus has alot of them doesnt it.....

proximity sensors are cool but fuck

[lone bloom]

if they would only have an actual usage

[humble anvil]

ye prox sensors

[lone bloom]

yeah but they don't have a use xd

your ship peeps either way with or without them

[humble anvil]

yeee it just widens the ship i geuss lol

[lone bloom]

But i am kinda glad now percy comes now instead of ILW

Simply because of all the "ship wise" new stuff that came since then

[humble anvil]

more time for it to cook fr fr

[lone bloom]

the new elevator the pollo has for example

i really hope that kind of elevator is also in percy the person elevator next to the freight one

[humble anvil]

right lol

hope we can choose between rails and no rails

for elevator

(cargo elevator)

[lone bloom]

and that too

[lone bloom]

Ballistics still borked compared to lasers tho

[humble anvil]

yerp

[lone bloom]

should literally have flipped times

[humble anvil]

CIG man

Perseus will be okay. no worries

[lone bloom]

ofc perseus will be okay, since it has the highest dps output outside of the railgun

but it could be better yk

also apparantly you absolutely want staggered mode because in staggered the weapons don't overheat

But - at least we got something thats better at doing PVE than the connie

And doesn't look as shit

also looks like ships that have dedicated bespoke ballistics have a way higher ammo pool than ships that have a flexible loadout?

(Polaris maingun, Idris maingun, wolf, meteor)

[humble anvil]

Yes lol but hopefully the Perseus is hold click

And not meteor click per shot

[lone bloom]

never used a meteor so idk

[humble anvil]

leonids dont fire by holding down the left click

they're semi auto, need to click everytime you want to fire

unlike other cannons

[lone bloom]

kinda sad since visually its a great ship

[humble anvil]

1600 alpha per pew

and its double barrel

thats 3200 alpha right der!!!

[lone bloom]

minus all the ballistic nerfs

[humble anvil]

OOOF OOFF

[lone bloom]

i mean its still -38% at least

• the shield reduction in most cases

[humble anvil]

i got freakin nuthin

[lone bloom]

?

[humble anvil]

my brain cant cope of anything

[lone bloom]

will you play PTU once the patch with perseus drops into it?

[reef wind]

The moment that ship even touches playable I'm flying it

[lone bloom]

Playable PTU or playable PU :p

[humble anvil]

Ya

[midnight crypt]

Perseus not gonna be released with S8 guns like how the Apollo got released without the drones

[humble anvil]

Not true S8, because it's going to be Dual Barrel S8 effectively Quad S7

[lone bloom]

so testing Perseus vs Perseus with your alt in turret?

[humble anvil]

Hopefully they don't gatekeep Perseus behind Evo

[humble anvil]

Mmm... It won't have access to early PTU. But for some time I'll be fielding an Alt

It depends how well it does tbh

Because big ship, can't turn fast, and keeping the turret forward on anything is going to be rough

[lone bloom]

i mean should be fine if its against a poolaris

[humble anvil]

Yes

[lone bloom]

also @humble anvil we can both agree that the vanduul hunter armor is better than the red/black ASD armor ?

[humble anvil]

Ambush Polaris would be nice for it

[humble anvil]

Yes

[lone bloom]

People selling that thing for 25 million

[humble anvil]

The ASD set?

We need a wipe lol

The economy in Star Citizen is so fucked

Not enough sinks

[lone bloom]

yes

so the red black one

[lone bloom]

well so far Ik they want to increase capital ships upkeep cost stuff again - welp and basebuilding and crafting will be surely huge sinks

but question is when they will come

[humble anvil]

Us in our "large" non capital ship : Perseus

[lone bloom]

I mean "we" won't be affected so there is that

[humble anvil]

I'm mainly excited to fly it like a daily driver with some blades in it maybe a turret baby for ambush Polaris

But other than that

Gilly's hammerhead mission will be nice too

I'll definitely want to man a turret lots

[lone bloom]

'gilly's' ?

[humble anvil]

Combat training missions

[lone bloom]

i mean you have access to all missions in ptu no?

[humble anvil]

No

[lone bloom]

.-.

[humble anvil]

It's quickened progression but still need to chug through BS

[lone bloom]

me who won't touch any other ship unless need a huge cargo hauler(arrastra) or anything else the percy can't (galaxy)

• maybe sometimes F7C Ghost lmao

[humble anvil]

You're god damn right

I love how even a galaxy is redundant when it comes to Arrastra

Arrastra be like; I can carry cargo better than you, I can mine, hell I can even refine better than you

Galaxy just a bigger Apollo fr fr

[lone bloom]

bigger better apollo*

• basebuilding

guess its neat to have if you don't want specifically the pollo and also want a ship with L (or XL) basebuild drones

[humble anvil]

Hm

[lone bloom]

kinda weird to think about it that the galaxy is exclusively "better" in one class - and its medical

[humble anvil]

Has more guns too

[lone bloom]

i mean yes but its also double its size in a whole

[humble anvil]

More shields basically everything

Only 80$ more right now

Oh whoopy Doo need to grind the module in game

[lone bloom]

yeah

80+modules

[humble anvil]

Tbh kinda is a little expensive

Can't get a price reduction on the module either

[lone bloom]

yep

thats why I said if i should've gotten a galaxy, farming modules ingame

even if that doesn't matter now likely unless huge WB drops at IAE

also. how much is a picoball? randomly popped up in a onyx container

[humble anvil]

Can get a million or two for em

Think it's more for the Wikelo Polaris

[lone bloom]

you need that thing for the pooplaris?

[humble anvil]

Ye

[reef wind]

I'd do both haha

[marsh zephyr]

it is modular, that's the benefit of the galaxy

[round zodiac]

jack of all trades

[marsh zephyr]

sure the arrastra is better at the single thing it is supposed to do

but the galaxy will be able to manufacture things

there will likely be a benefit to not needing to own a separate ship for each thing you want to do

it might be less docking fees, insurance, upkeep, and whatever else

[round zodiac]

incase you want to go bounty hunting while refining today's prospector haul

[coarse cloud]

Real question is why is it in Croatia

[lone bloom]

Maybe they want absolute World domination

[grave canyon]

gotta insure your modules tho

also almost surely we'll have to pay for module swaps

galaxy is just do whatever you want to do kinda worse but in way more style ship

[lone bloom]

Just not for Medical - there its better than the specific ship

[grave canyon]

tbh in the current state of game? idk man

except for like a bit more cargo space which doesn't matter right now, and ability to carry ground vics which is meh, and the fact that if you're shuttling people with a pisces you won't have to expose them to elements to transfer into galaxy whereas with apollo you ddo

so the only thing it's currently got going vs apollo is that you don't expose people to the elements when transferring them to and from the shuttle

until they make it matter in some other way that's the only difference rn

[lone bloom]

and the fact you don't have to choose between beds, since you have all tiers of beds unlike pollo

[grave canyon]

why do you need t2 beds

1x t1 and 3xt3 good enough

unless doing something like huge org scale

[lone bloom]

still

[grave canyon]

and at that point tbh, just getting one more apollo gives you more beds than galaxy

[lone bloom]

would be more expensive than a galaxy tho then

by alot

[grave canyon]

as it stands the apollo is simply better except for the shuttle thing

[grave canyon]

triage is 260 now or smt?

2 triages is 520 and you can do 1xt1 and 9xt3 or some bed config like that

galaxy and medbay is 470

[lone bloom]

Galaxy is 350-380

[grave canyon]

galaxy is 380

med module iirc is 90

[lone bloom]

Warbond

350

[grave canyon]

then the apollo is 250, sure

440 vs 500

[lone bloom]

I do not really count the medbay in there, since buying modules for real cash is straight up stupid since they are dirt cheap ingame^^

[grave canyon]

the 60 difference gets you two ships instead of one, so you got redundancy, your ships are faster and smaller

plus you get more medbeds

the only downside is exposing people to elements when shuttling them in and out

[grave canyon]

for now they are

the galaxy module is bigger than small ships that thing is gonna be costly to buy, swap, and insure

[lone bloom]

But thats just assumptions

[grave canyon]

as it stands you have no reason to get a galaxy even if you're an org over just having two apollo

[grave canyon]

very valid assumptions imo

[lone bloom]

You know numbers?

[grave canyon]

?

[lone bloom]

How much will it cost - how much will it cost to change them- if it will cost at all etc

i doubt so

[grave canyon]

what are the chances that the galaxy module will not have to be paid to get insured or swapped?

[lone bloom]

can say the same about pollo tho

[grave canyon]

the goddamn module is the size of like a starter ship

bigger

[lone bloom]

the rooms are also modules

[grave canyon]

apollo modules are in pledge

so they're lti

[lone bloom]

and were only given out for free rn because it does not come with its drones - yet

[grave canyon]

swapping is gonna cost way less than galaxy

[grave canyon]

no

[lone bloom]

they literally said that tho

[grave canyon]

it's free to everyone who pledges an apollo ever

unless they backed up on that

[lone bloom]

Or they plan to silence the drone topic and it will just never get its drones lmao

[grave canyon]

eh

even then

as it stands i'll take two apollos over a galaxy tbh

unless like you're doing medical for vips or something where you like go and do checkups or smt so you will shuttle them in

[lone bloom]

Or don't want to fly in a hotzone with your literal respawn beacon lmao

[grave canyon]

again

galaxy + med is 440

2 apollos is 500

you can literally have two ships instead of one

[lone bloom]

Galaxy + med ingame farmed is 350

150€ more for two pollos

[grave canyon]

redundancy is worth the extra 60

[grave canyon]

stupid point tbh and imma leave it at that

[lone bloom]

its not really stupid, the medbay costs 90ish (?) and i doubt whatever the ingame price for it will be won't justify 90 bucks

its the same shit with ground vehicles

[grave canyon]

ground vehicles are overpriced, sure, but that module is literally the size of many ships

[lone bloom]

Especially since you cannot CCU or warbond the modules, so there is no way in getting them cheaper

[lone bloom]

so are ground vehicles

[grave canyon]

sure mate

cope however you will

[lone bloom]

Spartan, Ballista, Nova

they partialy are larger than ships brother

[grave canyon]

it's not realistic to compare a ship with discount price and an empty room to two fully functional ships

and even if we did

the extra $150 is 100% worth the redundancy and the fact that your ship is way less of a target

you're way smaller and way faster

plus with the extra $150 you get more beds than a galaxy

it's still a better deal

[lone bloom]

"oh yeah cope however you will"

stop shittalking lmao xd

[grave canyon]

even comparing to a single apollo which is $100 cheaper there's no reason to have a galaxy over an apollo

[grave canyon]

i don't get what this proves?

you do realise in game prices are currently low right?

[grave canyon]

like, you do realise that this is an unstable buggy mess and cig in realisation of that is keeping the prices low?

[grave canyon]

yeah it proves that ground vehicles are sizes of ships, but that doesn't prove anything

just like modules being cheap in game right now

[lone bloom]

Using your own arguments against you

[grave canyon]

?

my argument is that the module is the size of a medium ship

and you argument is that ground vehicles are 100i sized?

[lone bloom]

Both are overpriced in store - and cheaper than the same sized ships ingame

lol

[grave canyon]

??

[lone bloom]

??

Would mean the ship prices increase aswell

[grave canyon]

and?

[lone bloom]

So it would be still cheaper than said ships

[grave canyon]

doesn't mean that now grinding a module in game in like 2 hrs is something that you can do

[lone bloom]

Ah, yes, because they will change it anytime soon, just like the last uh 13 years?

[grave canyon]

at that point just grind everything in game

[lone bloom]

I do

lmao

[grave canyon]

it's not gonna change, why pay $600 for a carrack when you can play for 10 hrs and get it

[lone bloom]

Yeah, thats right

[grave canyon]

regardless of your irrelevant and outright wrong points an apollo which is $100 cheaper than a warbond galaxy with no medical module is still simply a better medical ship in almost every scenario

[lone bloom]

"irrelevant points" now you coping

[grave canyon]

well when your argument is "grinding a few million worth module is easier than grinding few million ship" it's kinda irrelevant

[lone bloom]

Doubt that apollo will be just "few" million and the medic module will be similar expensive but fair

[grave canyon]

you do realise that the shitty tali cargo modules are like half a mil each right?

apollo ain't gonna cost more than 20m in game

[lone bloom]

Also - so the hangar that gives you the option to "not" go into a hotzone with your respawn beacon is invalid too?
Or that you can have all beds at the same time?
Better/more facilities inside of said ship?
Longer range?
better armor?
Better guns?

[lone bloom]

module won't either

max 3M my bet

[grave canyon]

yes you get 2xt2 or 3xt3 more such a big difference, and better/more facilities matter so so much, longer range is an irrelevant point by your logic as the game will apparently never change, better armor and guns is irrelevant when you're a fat target

[grave canyon]

the retaliator module that can take 38 scu costs half a mil

you do realise that right?

[lone bloom]

Yep

thats why i said 3M

[grave canyon]

mega coping in that case

[lone bloom]

Also- yes the game yet so far didn't really change, when was the last meta changed? literally never, not once, in 13+ years, and yes range only partially matters in pyro rn (aka jumping a few more times between planets) lol

[grave canyon]

the delusion that you're in is wild tho

makes points that are only valid if game changes

"game won't change"

??

[lone bloom]

(plus obviously the bonus that Galaxy can do more than just medical if changing modules ofc ontop of that even if that doesn't make it in that specific area better)

[lone bloom]

Armor, range and guns are not "if game changes" tho, more HP is a thing that is there rn obviously, range too even if it only applies and matters only in pyro, and guns are obviously better^^

Never said it impacts "much" - but they are better

[reef wind]

Spreadsheet game strikes again

[grave canyon]

better guns on an industrial ship that will die to any fighter that has a pilot who's not braindead, so hp is irrelevant too. longer range is irrelevant, game never changes so respawn beacon isn't gonna be a thing, more beds is irrelevant unless you're a huge org, facilities inside ship irrelevant because game will not change

[lone bloom]

welp talking a non released ship vs a now released ship is either way delulu since they can change things about said ships until then either way - for both ships

[grave canyon]

if only i specified that my points were for as things stand

oh wait i did

[tepid wasp]

What type of Perseus sales tactics is this???

[reef wind]

Everything thing gets rebalancing and such anyways once maelstrom and armor come

[lone bloom]

in 2030

[reef wind]

[grave canyon]

a good one, because now you know to get a perseus to just kill things and not worry about things like medical gameplay

[lone bloom]

So Perseus irrelevant to you then too since a fighter pilot who isn't braindead will kill it aswell

[grave canyon]

"apples are green"

"so are leaves, are leaves apples now?"

[lone bloom]

And both fall from a tree and decompose at some point.

[grave canyon]

if they give the redeemer 2 turrets each with 2x s8 guns that perform as good as the perseus turrets, with minimal downsides, yeah then the perseus is irrelevant

[lone bloom]

Argument applies to both

[reef wind]

Both go in salad

[grave canyon]

doesn't mean apples and leaves are the same

[lone bloom]

never said that.

you did.

[grave canyon]

nah you did

[lone bloom]

No, I only said same argument applies to perseus.

or any other larger ship

[reef wind]

You both are funny

[lone bloom]

or would you say otherwise?

[grave canyon]

i said that the point of galaxy having big guns compared to apollo was irrelevant because it will die to any half decent fighter pilot and you somehow tried to apply that to the perseus, a ship that has pdc's

while galaxy literally is a flying blind spot

it doesn't matter if you give a monkey the most capable sniper rifle in the world, it's still a monkey

[lone bloom]

You kinda pretend that PDC's do alot to fighters?

[grave canyon]

aside from the few coincidences it aint gonna hit shit

[grave canyon]

?

yeah they fucking shoot them

[lone bloom]

Not really

[grave canyon]

holy

nah you keep on copin man

[lone bloom]

I can feel that you never played with a fighter against any ship with PDC

[grave canyon]

ye sure

love you

cope more

[lone bloom]

Obviously brother^^

[grave canyon]

or smt idk

jesus christ

[lone bloom]

Or you're a bad pilot, one from both

You can easily outrange PDCs

[grave canyon]

yeah a good pilot being able to kill you versus a pilot with two brain cells being able to kill you aint the same

[lone bloom]

and that even applies if they aren't bugged which they tend to do

[grave canyon]

but keep on copin

[lone bloom]

didn't we literally talked about good pilots?

Moving goalposts here

or better said - a pilot that fought a few times ships with pdcs and does not encounter a ship with pdcs the very first time

Doesn't even have to be good to outrange them

[foggy beacon]

tbh fighting ship that have pdc isn't about outranging them

the point is to get in their blind spot

[humble anvil]

WHAT BLIND SPOTS ON THE PERSY

inb4 the move the back turret

[coarse cloud]

not this again

[humble anvil]

I guess the belly is a big blind spot

I'm just using it as reference

But if under turret has a gunner and it gets alt fire or I guess PDCs

Idk bruh the blind spot maybe the back left- left and back right -right

Still getting convergence with the top Gatling turret so almost have to shoot those out

"TEST MA"

This week in Star Citizen

[humble anvil]

No update on any of our upcoming ships for Citcon yet

Burn the witch

Perseus still TBD

[humble anvil]

OH! I Get to finish that shit ass game this week

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

Shitty con 😭

[humble anvil]

Tbh I think I'll pick up the paladin because it will have the absolute capacity and ability to blade the quad turret

Which I think for a solo player that can't get any better

While I want to assume Perseus will be able to blade everything

[lone bloom]

4xs4 4xs5

ouch

[humble anvil]

There's still that "but"

[lone bloom]

if you get the paladin would like to test it duo crew against HH or even polaris

since it will insta PU release likely

[humble anvil]

Dual loadout man. Gonna be really good

The top quad s5 fucking deadbolts

On sides put some attritions n golden

Hopefully it gets the multi crew modifiers

[azure fulcrum]

What are y'all pally price bump guesstimates?

[humble anvil]

It's $300 I think

Easily 375

[azure fulcrum]

At the least

[humble anvil]

Depends too if they upscale the guns

If they want it to punch sub caps

Well it already is

Lol

But better

[azure fulcrum]

400 bumpage would not be out of the realm

[humble anvil]

Ye

[lone bloom]

I still am more hyped for the armor if its the one we think it is

[azure fulcrum]

I hope i can chain from tac to pally

Feel kinda silly for not chaining from mx to pally while I had the chance

[lone bloom]

me to, would've been instant cheap chain for galaxy and i was literally thinkin of it

[azure fulcrum]

Yeah too impatient i guess

Was preying on the wb prowler but it didnt come

[lone bloom]

nah I just had the struggles of what do i do with galaxy if i should'nt get the percy (since i did not expect rustle to actually gift it) and would force me to cargo hauling after wipe to get into bounty which is my main loop

and thats why i didn't got the upgrade xd

Thought i would've been better of playing the safe route with staying with the SL Max

[humble anvil]

Me who has a mx to pally

[lone bloom]

and now it forked me

[humble anvil]

Kekeke

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Galaxy so far out

[lone bloom]

actually was thinkin about melting the max now but that would've been waste of CCU stuff

[humble anvil]

The time we get one of those we'll be lucky lol

Well wait

Esperia Stinger

Might get it sooner than we think

[lone bloom]

i mean I could still do that

and hope something between 300-340 wb happens

that the asgard has exactly 350 value is shit

could've went otherwise with now medivac wb and after asgard wb if it wouldve been beneath 350 value

[round zodiac]

think id ratherh ave the Medical terrapin

Terrapin VTOL should have a crazy blast off for rapid evac, too.
Heavendiver

[lone bloom]

would use it only for ccu to galaxy

not for medical reasons

[round zodiac]

i see, well you're in the wrong chat

Galaxy brained

[lone bloom]

you too :p

[round zodiac]

only because reddit told me the medipen is better

had my biases confirmed and had to share

[tawny fern]

terrapin is my true love

among a few

[lone bloom]

So Perseus isn't your true love?

https://tenor.com/view/unacceptable-adventure-time-lemongrab-freakout-armflail-gif-5515437
