Perseus Pals

[humble anvil]

That's disrespectful to the Perseus

Only Perseus

[lone bloom]

#1 Perseus #2 Arrastra #3 Galaxy #4 everything else

[humble anvil]

Ye

Galaxy questionable because of functionality

We'll see

[lone bloom]

Still - dorito gang

[humble anvil]

Yeah I've just been looking at more and more videos and

I find the galaxy to be a bit redundant

[lone bloom]

It is - if you're willing to get the other specific ships

[humble anvil]

Even as a build ship

[round zodiac]

its modules would have to be pretty overtuned to compete with dedicated its own size. i wanted it for mobile factory fed by my Vulture and defended by my Perseus with optional cargo config. but Arrastra with C2 just beats it...

[lone bloom]

arrastra with c2?

you mean arrastra by itsself

[round zodiac]

but Arrastra has more refining and C2 has more cargo

[lone bloom]

Arra has also more cargo by itsself alone

even if the galaxy has its cargo module

just that its mostly external

[round zodiac]

576 straight ongrid cargo? confimed RSI cannibalized its own galaxy with the arrastra

[lone bloom]

576 ongrid

Huge offgrid potential

but galaxy has huge offgrid potential aswell (hangar)

But either way Cargo & Refining (+ mining) Arrastra > Galaxy

by a long shot

[round zodiac]

refinery inside a miner is IRL efficient, but eliminates a logistics gameplay opportunity

[lone bloom]

only usefull modules galaxy will have are medical and basebuild and perhaps the rumored manufacture module

[round zodiac]

seems like the team even forget they confirmed a base build for it and wil now do it for contract requirement and not that they actually want to...

and Apollo is a strong case against medical galaxy

[humble anvil]

And there is an Apollo variant

[round zodiac]

Endeavor will be a better mobile hospital, and Apollo has T1

[lone bloom]

Its strong - but doesn't offer same quality

[humble anvil]

We don't know about yet

[lone bloom]

Medical wise Pollo < Galaxy < Endeavor likely

In every other loop, galaxy gets beaten by smaller ships

or- by arrastra in multiple loops

[humble anvil]

Maybe the Apollo gets a manufacturing module or maybe a build varient

[round zodiac]

i continue to hope they move all respawns to onlyin T0 beds. needs to be a crazy fancy bed to print humans. and those can only be found in hospitals or endeavor

[lone bloom]

T0 beds would only be city hospitals

would kinda make medical ships fully irrelevant

[round zodiac]

it would need a city grid to operate, or shutdown the rest of the Endeavor to run a respawn for 2 minutes

[lone bloom]

also am I doing something wrong or why don't i see any player bounty contracts?

[round zodiac]

all injuries and evac would happen in the other ships. would give real value to endeavor. in a fleet assault

[humble anvil]

Need to do player apprehension certification

[lone bloom]

how is that named

[humble anvil]

Idk lol

[lone bloom]

it was usually named something with suspect but cannot find any mission with that name

[brave night]

So what do you guys think - how much hp (armor lol) will our Persussy get? I'm saying 500k-ish

[lone bloom]

depending on HH buff 700-1000K

[sand hound]

is hh getting a buff?

[lone bloom]

Well its getting a 'up to gold standard' rework

and since its extremely bad for being a military corvette - very likely coming with buffs

[sand hound]

have they mentioned when they plan on doing that?

[humble anvil]

Perseus 1Mil

Hammerhead 750k

if not, they dont know what the fuck they're doing with multi crew and might as well kms

If they want multicrew and engineering to be a thing for a ship thats in the fucking front of battles taking hits.. It needs time to survive

it cannot stay 350k like the hammerhead currently

if they did its be like ; go in ; die. No engineering gameplay

[foggy silo]

Yeah i approuve it

They need to buff the HH

[lone bloom]

Apparantly soonish

IAE maybe

The flying brick - i mean aurora is supposed to get its rework at the same time apparantly

[humble anvil]

LOLOL

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PANTHERS SHOOT THROUGH IDRIS SHIELD

[round zodiac]

sometimes they revisit ships of a similar class at the same as a new release to define them or make parity

[humble anvil]

wait

some lasers straight up penetrating idris shield

not panthers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjMCMh6VWHw

[round zodiac]

isnt that the intended goal of lasers? that shields blocked physicals, and armour absorbs laser heat?

[humble anvil]

no

Shields block lasers, and lasers melt armor

[round zodiac]

but shields blocked impacts, not light

[humble anvil]

Ballistics penetrate shields, and armor blocks ballistics

but CIG balancing go brrrr

[round zodiac]

i remember reading about it and thinking how it was the inverse of another space game where lasers are used to overwhelmshields, but physicals ricochet off shields

and CIG was doing the opposite with Lasers are light so shields dont stop them

and impacts like crashing and ballistics damage shield first since its an impact prevention, not light

i dont have time to go digging, i bet Iris has it saved to her desktop

she can pull a fact at a moments notice 😄

[lone bloom]

tha fack

[humble anvil]

prob them testing deflecting

but fucked up

and put a 0

kekw

[sand hound]

idk if this the end goal but currently shields block lasers and armor blocks ballistic ingame

[lone bloom]

"armor"

[sand hound]

😭

[azure fulcrum]

wait terrapin only has a S1 quentam drive?! oof

I know it was too good to be true 😭

hmmph!?> it has 4 SCU QT fuel!? wow and 400 GM range

[lone bloom]

Medipin

[azure fulcrum]

compare that to the S2 QD of a cutty that only has 112 GM range and 1.8 scu

[lone bloom]

well

its drake

did you expect anything else other than trash?

[azure fulcrum]

very weird that it has a S1 QT drive tho that makes no sense

[lone bloom]

How bout medi Perseus

Nursa and Perseus

[azure fulcrum]

lel

[lone bloom]

Just casually running rescue beacons with a perseus

[azure fulcrum]

Mediseus

[lone bloom]

well could be missunderstood for the Zeus

[azure fulcrum]

yeah the S2 QDs are significantly faster than S1

I hate S1 QD drives they take too long to traverse systems

ohhh it's really small same size as an avenger titan now it makes sense

well it's not bad then it has crazy fuel capacity for its size

sorry noob moment here I never actually flown a terrapin ingame

[lone bloom]

Well at least it has a t2 bed

[azure fulcrum]

yeah altho its not very manueverable for its size

very comparible to asgard same SCM speed too

but yeah heavily armored

jeez it has more than double the healthpool of an asgard

IDK why I'm even bothering with the stats we all know they don't make sense and are subject to change

[sand hound]

i believe it competes with the connie andromeda in terms of health

[azure fulcrum]

that's pretty nuts

weird ship I can see how it's popular the stats are crazy

[sand hound]

if you turn off shields and coolers it has stealthy emissions aswell

[azure fulcrum]

everything is cranked to 11

[sand hound]

it can sneak up and just tank all the damage to its hull

[azure fulcrum]

lmao

and its the size of a fricking avenger

[sand hound]

vtol engines as well so it has some crazy lateral movement potential

and weewoo lights

[azure fulcrum]

the balance in this game is a joke

[sand hound]

with t2 med bed

[azure fulcrum]

yeah a fricking T2 medbed

it shits on all the other medical ships

[round zodiac]

Nurseus. cause of hte Nursa

Turtlepin truly earns its name

and i hope its VTOL speed gets even more busted like a heavendiver

man gets inside then PSHUUUU. everyone inside's knees buckle

[azure fulcrum]

close enough

[tawny fern]

I used med terrapin for farming hathor it was the best thing ever

[azure fulcrum]

that thing is no joke

[azure fulcrum]

the only disadvantage is no cargo grid or suit locker and weapon rack I guess?

[tawny fern]

I used the internal storage

[azure fulcrum]

no shoilet

[azure fulcrum]

ye nice

[azure fulcrum]

its a cute ship I can't help feel all warm and fuzzy inside

cargo XD

[tawny fern]

Do suit lockers even work right now?

[azure fulcrum]

probably not lol

[lone bloom]

no

kinda sad would love to decorate ships and actually use the weapon lockers/suit lockers

[azure fulcrum]

man expectations of CIG are so low I'm not even surprised we still don;t have suit locker functionality and we've had suit lockers for years now

[lone bloom]

and they even add vehicles that are specified to be a armory/suitlocker vehicle

[azure fulcrum]

I vaguely remember there being hype on citizencon for them giving us the ability to let us physically place items in our ships and it being persistent

with the physicalized inventory stuff coming

[lone bloom]

dunno anymore about that one - i just remember that T3 insurance will allow that

But being able to "costumize" aka place stuff in ships that persists - even after getting destroyed ro claimed - would make ships feel more like "home"

[azure fulcrum]

there's been so many promises and things that got memoryholed

it's kinda incredible

[lone bloom]

they even literally started to "not" place decoration in ships anymore since... idk

3.18?

because they want 'us' to decorate them

[azure fulcrum]

heh

[lone bloom]

and yet make it so difficult to decorate

[azure fulcrum]

its like they forgot it isn't persistent

like chicken without head CIG is

🐔

[lone bloom]

its kinda the same play as with the "encourage group play"

[azure fulcrum]

hah

[lone bloom]

Making missions that even split the mission points

[azure fulcrum]

I guess all these basic gameplay features "aren't a priority"

one has to wonder what is priority with CIG

💰

[lone bloom]

looks at social system

[azure fulcrum]

most important thing for an MMO

[lone bloom]

the most basic thing for an mmo

[azure fulcrum]

lmao not a priority I guess

herp derp

[lone bloom]

but at least they talked about it

once

[azure fulcrum]

well that's good

[lone bloom]

for like 20 min

[azure fulcrum]

XDDDDD

[lone bloom]

in a show that was how long... 8 hours?

[azure fulcrum]

omfg hahahhaa

I vaguely remember that it was yeaaars ago

[lone bloom]

last year citizenscon

lol

[azure fulcrum]

the social system?

[lone bloom]

yes

[azure fulcrum]

ohh ok

[lone bloom]

they even showed it

but same for basebuilding

"how do you can show it but why do we not have it"

[azure fulcrum]

😄

hahahhahah

[lone bloom]

i mean, they obviously had already a finished UI for it for the mobiglass

[azure fulcrum]

"it's a common misconception that most resources are allocated to SQ42" -Ben

[lone bloom]

I kinda do not expect besides the UI that it would take much longer to implement it, yet here we are

[lone bloom]

They literally said that majority of people from basebuilding and crafting got removed again to work on SQ42 and or bugfixxing PU.-.

[azure fulcrum]

the UI team apparently is very small and can only work on one thing at a time or something is the impression I got

[azure fulcrum]

yeaaaaaah well they keep flipflopping and making shit up I guess

[lone bloom]

when did we got the last "UI" update?

ah nvm, the MFDs of ships

RSI mfds just released last patch

[azure fulcrum]

I guess the whoooole team was just focused on one thing making new MFDs

[lone bloom]

Well cannot be many people then

2-3 people at max

[azure fulcrum]

yeah thats what I'm thinking

the people actually doing the work are just very few

everybody else is just sitting on two thumbs I guess

that's what it looks like

[lone bloom]

I mean - there aren't also many ship designers

[azure fulcrum]

exactly

[lone bloom]

Just if you look at the dev tracker thing

Each ship has max 1-3 designers working on it - and those also work at multiple ships at the same time

[azure fulcrum]

their work capacity is very low they can only work on a few things so the only conclussion is that there are very few people working on it

[lone bloom]

if you look at those things it kinda looks like a small indie company

yet its a company with 1+ billion funding and 1000+ people

where are those 1000 people

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder what the other 900 people are doing there

are they all janitors or something?

bring chriss cofee and donuts?

[lone bloom]

I mean absolutely there will be janitors and other "game" unrelated jobs

i mean they just searched for a barista

.-.

[azure fulcrum]

just like interns that are still learning

omg now it actually makes sense

[lone bloom]

and considering they have i think 4 buildings a good portion of those 1000+ will be game unrelated

[azure fulcrum]

100% true

[lone bloom]

feels like 300~ ish people are actually working on the game

[azure fulcrum]

https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs

[lone bloom]

and 200 of those are working on SQ

[azure fulcrum]

I get the impression there is a huge lack of devs too

[lone bloom]

they searching for many world builder

[azure fulcrum]

oh yeah

[lone bloom]

only looking for a single vehicle artist

[azure fulcrum]

...

they're still looking for tool programmers

xD

[lone bloom]

i mean they are laying off some peeps and such ofc or need more people for XY section

and therefore need to search new people

[azure fulcrum]

the ones that made the tools left the company

[lone bloom]

lmao

[azure fulcrum]

and the new ones don't know how to use them xD

haven't heard that one in a while "Best Damn Space Sim Ever"

BDSE

also notice how the majority of vacancies are for Senior positions

asking for years of experience

they are desperately in need for experienced people

and leadership

which makes perfect sense of course

we all know that this is the case it's old news

[lone bloom]

which makes also sense from what I have heard, that they mostly have rookies or - near rookies that have zero to almost zero experience and not enough people to train them

[azure fulcrum]

it's just that I'm wondering why did the experienced people leave and got poached

like couldn't they have done it differently given them a raise given a better work environment

somehow prevented them from leaving IDK

[lone bloom]

Reminds me of the designers that worked on the BMM

The whole freaking team left

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that was really sad cause I was digging the work they had done on BMM

[lone bloom]

Glad it did not happen to the perseus

because

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/92000849236066304/1409323377990045748/PerseusPraise.gif

tbf perseus is significantly easier than the BMM

especially because of the ton of premade assets

[azure fulcrum]

its hard to fuck up... right?

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

XDDD

[lone bloom]

They already made it kinda "worse"

see airlock next to bridge

[azure fulcrum]

oooof

[lone bloom]

same shit take as the airlock at the hammerhead

[azure fulcrum]

lmao so braindead

[lone bloom]

peeps that would want to board the percy - that airlock would be their first goal to break up

simply because you have access to the engineering room AND bridge just 1 door away

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

previously before airlock they had to go through the entire cargo bay and also go up the elevator - two bottleneck areas

[azure fulcrum]

unbelievable

[lone bloom]

and the cargo bay would've been very easy to defend

[azure fulcrum]

very easy

[lone bloom]

because defenders would had high ground (catwalk)

and attackers only 2 entrance points and both end up in the cargo bay

(personal elevator and the docking port)

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder if Chris even cares and makes decisions on these designs

[lone bloom]

Yes he does

There was a picture that explained the concept -> release

and he reviewed every ship at each stage at the end and either approves it or denies it

[azure fulcrum]

I know he was the one that aproved the concept

[lone bloom]

aka review gate

[azure fulcrum]

but these new changes god

[lone bloom]

yeah also happens after white and grey box

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder if chris gave the green light for this idiotic thing

[azure fulcrum]

ok well that's kinda sad

[lone bloom]

Usually the lead designer / art director should have the last word in those things

but not at CIG

[azure fulcrum]

how active is chris on the website does he still write letters? I think at least once a year?

[azure fulcrum]

yeah thats how I always remembered it to be might have changed now tho

[lone bloom]

I think? dunno

well and citizenscon stuff obv

[azure fulcrum]

I know at the end off the year chris writes us a letter

[lone bloom]

guess he personally is mainly working on SQ is my guess since he is mainly a filmmaker

[azure fulcrum]

and yes he's present at shitcon

[lone bloom]

and SQ contains many cutscenes

[azure fulcrum]

yeah good point

[lone bloom]

and is kinda build like a

"in movie" game

similar to uh

Detroit become human

just without the extremely impacting choices

[azure fulcrum]

but wasn't squekdran feature complete? and all the scenes already finished?

[lone bloom]

"so they said"

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

aslong its not AI generated

[azure fulcrum]

needs 2 years more of polishing

https://tenor.com/view/بويجي-بويا-هردبشت-زبلعجي-كندرجي-gif-19614701

[lone bloom]

shoe gone after 2 years

Just hope percy will do very well in SC so you can go up to hardest difficulty with just 2 men crew in PvE missions

so it makes it kinda "okayish" to farm other ships and doesn't take ages since you have to get with your first ship the first actual farming ship

[azure fulcrum]

I got the impression chris didn't even write the letter but more that it was curated because in the past chris said many things that he got in trouble for false promises and stuff

[azure fulcrum]

yeah on paper this should be one of the best PvE ships

[lone bloom]

Well prob written thing from a marketing dude

[lone bloom]

Well we will see if it will actually need with engineering a engineer in pve or not

[azure fulcrum]

I totally understand why tho Chris has the best intentions but he just can't make his promises real

so along the way he learned to be more careful about what he communicates to us

[azure fulcrum]

well if it needs a engineer other larger ships also need engineers to operate

[humble anvil]

Terrapin has an insane 75hp m/^3

If Perseus got the same ratio

It's be like 14mil

[azure fulcrum]

that shit is ridiculous bruh it's the same size as an avenger lmao

[humble anvil]

Yerp

[lone bloom]

well ofc, larger ones will likely even need way more

but 3 persons is already "eh"

just hope percy is tanky enough to just need to be repaired in between pve missions

[humble anvil]

I'm going to assume Idris scaling of military prowess

1.1million hp

[azure fulcrum]

a fricking patrol ship should have the facilities to maintain and facilitate long duration missions

[humble anvil]

If below 750k CIG is cooked

And I'm selling my shit

I will btw

If they don't account for engineering, how can I believe them to make adequate changes on hull to compensate for armor. They won't

[azure fulcrum]

18 more days till percius shit con reveal

[lone bloom]

well hopefully

[humble anvil]

Yah know? TAC ain't at the forefront of a blockade. Same for A2/M2 basically any ship of Perseus size . Light fighters are irrelevant they should explode in 3 hits they're like $75

[lone bloom]

As I said i just hope it will be tanky enough so you don't have to have an active engineer running around all the time for PvE

if PvP sure fair enough, but for PvE it would be extremely annoying

[humble anvil]

Perseus and hammerhead need Tanky to engineer in a fight as they were designed to do.

[azure fulcrum]

it should be at least as disproportionately insanely tanky for its size as a terrapin

[lone bloom]

Hopefully

[azure fulcrum]

I concur it should have idris HP pool at least

[lone bloom]

coping

Idris is medium armor no?

Medium Capital armor ofc

[humble anvil]

I think it's heavy

[lone bloom]

Javelin is heavy?

[humble anvil]

Good point

[lone bloom]

xD

I expect Polaris Light, Kraken Light, Idris Medium and maybe at some point a anvil similar one

and Javelin is heavy

and the battlecruiser aswell heavy ofc

[humble anvil]

Ye

Makes sense

But you see something with these ships they're all for one thing ; Combat

So hopefully CIG ain't stupid

[lone bloom]

I mean kraken isn't combat by that means

so isn't the BMM

[humble anvil]

And bring the HH up with Perseus to better fulfill that role

[lone bloom]

or endeavor

[humble anvil]

Despite those exploration etc ships

[lone bloom]

Kraken and BMM are trading ships no?

Cargo haulers at the end

[humble anvil]

YES RAVIT FUCK

Despite those

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Those should be in the back

Back back back

HP Armor irrelevant for them

[lone bloom]

well kinda yes

thats why I would assume all of them have light armor

[azure fulcrum]

isnt bmm a blockade runner?

[lone bloom]

BMM is a trading ship

[humble anvil]

Trading ship casually ramming a Perseus

'oops'

Lol

[lone bloom]

Trading ship explodes violently

[humble anvil]

Prayge CIG doesn't fuck this up

O stg if BMM gets 10mil HP

Imma go

[azure fulcrum]

I think in BMM early days it was described as a blockade runner

but that thing got so slow and obese I seriously doubt it can run through anything

it fattened up

[humble anvil]

Because the Banu has stolen all the cat girls

It's in the BMM

I say we bring freedom and liberty to the BMM

Free the cat girls

Save the world

[azure fulcrum]

sounds like a plan

[lone bloom]

I still want the Vanduulished banu

yet

Would be so mental

But

[lone bloom]

just coping it does not turn out as meteor 2.0

[humble anvil]

Again the only way they can pop out 4 volleys in order like that in the content driven SCL

And in staggered fire

So it fires one side

Then the other

Maybe it's fuckin

Maybe it is

[azure fulcrum]

that's exactly what it lookslike tbh

[azure fulcrum]

staggered burst fire

[humble anvil]

We can't see under the dual barrels lol

[azure fulcrum]

omfg 4 round burst

LOOK

[lone bloom]

thats why we came back to the quad barrel

[humble anvil]

Ye

[azure fulcrum]

confirmed

[humble anvil]

Ravit it dead ass could be quad barrel. In all seriousness

[lone bloom]

I know .-.

[humble anvil]

Or quad dual barrel lol

[azure fulcrum]

staggered fire dual quadbarrel

[lone bloom]

But I don't want it to end up like meteor

[azure fulcrum]

is my guess

each quadbarrel fires a 4 round burst

[humble anvil]

😅

It ends up like meteor where we can't hold fire like the Idris

Gonna be a wee bit sad

[azure fulcrum]

perseus become king of DAKKA

[humble anvil]

See if it's quad dual barrel in stagger, you can get these weird bursts of ballistics

Sometimes it's two volleys, sometimes 4

Just like SCL

And they could do it, it'd be fun

[lone bloom]

Perseus IS THE DAKKA

[humble anvil]

Jesus Christ

2x S8 = 4x S7 = 8x S6 barrels

Ohhhh my gawd

[humble anvil]

I'd take 8x S6 in a turret

[azure fulcrum]

maybe perseus turn into a long range to short range brawler lmao

[humble anvil]

They could have conversion kits too

For different builds

You want 2x S8 fuck u cannons or tons of cannons for dakka

Goes back to Medusa mythology yah know? Medusa had many heads

Could be said about the Medusa Cannon

Lemme look at something

"Building on centuries of RSI weapon technology, the Perseus utilizes bespoke size 8 Medusa Cannons that deliver devastating salvos of ballistic fire, capable of starting fights just as easily as ending them. These custom made RSI cannons excel at punishing larger targets at long, making it a formidable battlefield equalizer."

Devastating salvos

[azure fulcrum]

HELL yes I think you hit the nail on the head

that's genius

[humble anvil]

Sec

[azure fulcrum]

devestating SALVOS

burst salvos?

[humble anvil]

"Built specifically for the Meteor, the Leonids ballistic cannon provides formidable firepower designed to overwhelm aggressors that dare get within range. RSI expertly incorporated the cannon atop both sides of the ship to seamlessly integrate with the ship's components and provide full forward coverage."

Hmm

[azure fulcrum]

DAKKA

[humble anvil]

[azure fulcrum]

multiple barrels firing simultaneous

who knows how many ey

[humble anvil]

Old

[tawny fern]

the gun probably wont be firing this fast?

[azure fulcrum]

ye thats not what the new barrels look like at all

[tawny fern]

oh

[humble anvil]

On God they're quad barrel

[azure fulcrum]

you better believe it percius fam

it are a dual quadbarrel

[lone bloom]

I know concept artworks don't say much but isn't the percy also here shooting quite fast?

[tawny fern]

yea

[lone bloom]

you can see that it just hit the Hammerhead

and its already shooting at that range the second rounds

[tawny fern]

theres a whole line of tracers

[lone bloom]

yeah you're right there is a whole fucking line of tracers

[lone bloom]

what the fuck

[humble anvil]

God damn

[tawny fern]

but that picture IS from years ago

[lone bloom]

IT WAS ALWAY THERE

AND WE DIDN'T SAW IT

[humble anvil]

literally faster than Idris

Imagine

All enemies hear is TONK TONK TONK TONK

[azure fulcrum]

I mean yeah

[humble anvil]

Screaming intensifies

[azure fulcrum]

thats a fast fire rate allright

[lone bloom]

hold up let me cook

[humble anvil]

Fucking cannons? More like repeaters

[tawny fern]

i mean yeah look at the tracers

[lone bloom]

rustle

[humble anvil]

I'm still going with quad barrel

[lone bloom]

it has two barrels per cannon in that picture

[humble anvil]

Huh

[lone bloom]

literally

[humble anvil]

Sec

[lone bloom]

give me a sec

[humble anvil]

Oh yeah

I see it

Lol

[lone bloom]

it literally had two from the very beginning

[humble anvil]

Well look at

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but the new ones definitely have four

[tawny fern]

theres only one muzzle though

[lone bloom]

yeah thats why i said concept artworks don't say much

[lone bloom]

because here it has no muzzle

and very obviously two barrels

[humble anvil]

I think they got rid of the middle barrel

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm

[lone bloom]

i mean i am fine if its two barrels

if its shooting as fast as idris

or faster

especially with alt fire additionally

Imagine those are not bespoke

and we could slap NBDs or Attritions on it

[humble anvil]

😅

Quad barrel or bust

And it fires like a repeater

[tawny fern]

im a little worried about the repeater thing though

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/hangar-hangar-of-roam-roamer-balloon-metal-gif-26138414

[tawny fern]

with such a big gun i thought it'd be like a big oomph gun

[humble anvil]

Yeah either or is good

[lone bloom]

did you ever listened / shoot a idris turret?

[tawny fern]

i havent

[lone bloom]

.-.

[humble anvil]

Oof

Hang on

[lone bloom]

It shoots like a very slow repeater

but with loud oomph

and heavy hitting

[humble anvil]

@tawny fern

[lone bloom]

Why is there a "meow" sound hat 0;3-4

[humble anvil]

LOL

Foxy cat

[lone bloom]

[lone bloom]

When foxy perseus

[humble anvil]

Considering cig dev making the decision hates fun

Probably never

No weeb shit in my space game said Dev

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm

but a few frames further its 4

[lone bloom]

could be alt fire

[azure fulcrum]

smaller projectile maybe yes

[lone bloom]

i mean the 5th one is absolutey smaller

[azure fulcrum]

it's definitely a single salvo cause you see the flash

some crazy dakka going on

top and bottom

[lone bloom]

i kinda still do think its dual barrel per gun

so it can archive that rpm

two shoots - cooldown - two shoots from other barrel

[azure fulcrum]

yeah it looks like single salvo burst fire with dual twin barrel guns

from the video at least

but if its single salvo it's insanely high RPM

either way it looks like a mean dakka brawler

[lone bloom]

I mean its bespoke so they can make it as they want to

I could imagine why they wanna do "that" kind of thing

It was labeled as sub cap killer - maybe they want it to have high RPM but "kind" of low armor pen rate

at least for its size

So it cannot 'fuck' that much with something like a javelin

[humble anvil]

True

[azure fulcrum]

hmmmm IDK the projectiles are pretty huge they're S8 after all

[humble anvil]

The thing is the gun would carry s8 rating

[azure fulcrum]

but I like the idea of it being more of a high RPM smaller target killer

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but the projectiles would be smaller cause more barrels lol

s8 gun with like 8x S6 projectiles or sumtin

[humble anvil]

I wouldn't mind because it would be fun

[lone bloom]

i mean- even that would still badly damage caps but yeah

[azure fulcrum]

or 4xs7

[humble anvil]

But the damage needs to math

[lone bloom]

Basically a significantly buffed Polaris Turret

[humble anvil]

Not some undertone bs

[azure fulcrum]

high fire rate is just more fun

[lone bloom]

I mean a single bullet would maybe do less than a single actual cannon bullet of a S8

[azure fulcrum]

more explosion

[lone bloom]

but if the RPM are through the roof

it just eats the hull away slowly

[humble anvil]

If they make the Perseus S8 but effectively Quad S6 with pen of S6 that's still good!!!!

[lone bloom]

so its "DPS" would be still dangerously high

[humble anvil]

Would make it noodle against the javelins

[lone bloom]

but weaker against a jav

[humble anvil]

But that would put it in sub cap killer role

The fucking demolisher

[lone bloom]

i mean im fine with it not being able to kill or damage lot of a jav

Aslong it "can" punch a Idris

[humble anvil]

I'm not going near them

[lone bloom]

and "could" kill a polaris

idm

[humble anvil]

Idris I'm hardly going to fuck with

It's not a safe trade

[lone bloom]

i mean if its a skeleton crewed idris

kill it

[humble anvil]

Polaris? Oh yeah that thing is getting bullied

[azure fulcrum]

yeah and still able to hit smaller targets than subcaps lol

[lone bloom]

just because of the RPM

[azure fulcrum]

just wreck everything below its size

[humble anvil]

If it's 8x S6 effectively

Everything is fucked

Everything

If it's 2x S8 legitimately

[azure fulcrum]

and there's literally no issue with that, let it tear apart smaller ships it's a military heavy gunship for crying out loud

Perseus = death

[humble anvil]

Subcapital and up is fucked literally

[azure fulcrum]

it makes a lot of sense this theory I approve

[humble anvil]

Btw self aware

Citcon promotions

[lone bloom]

Well my guess is still, it will be able to track heavy fighters and everything above

[humble anvil]

Staging

[azure fulcrum]

promotions what mean?

ship sale?

[humble anvil]

2 Promotions, and 1 promotion probably the start packs

[lone bloom]

1 goodie pack

2 ship

[humble anvil]

[azure fulcrum]

RIP wallet

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

No tags change yet

[azure fulcrum]

I don't want to give CIG more money lol

[humble anvil]

Paladin

Probably good in the future with blades

[azure fulcrum]

well one is paladin the other is unknown

[humble anvil]

I'm curious in it's hp

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm

18 days left

[lone bloom]

18 days until citizenscon, 17 days until battlefield 6, peak

[azure fulcrum]

I'm gonna be real bummed if there ain't engineering update and perseus reveal

[humble anvil]

One promotion might be subscription

But idk

leaks regarding "ship page links"

[crystal sleet]

Perseus here is just mentioned as "a page that seems to be in preparation for iae" iirc paraphrasing, not much on it here

[humble anvil]

Ye I told Xenon how to do it and they're full borging now xddd

Maybe I shouldn't have but oh well

[desert gorge]

I want my percy 🥺

We all want it

[humble anvil]

Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy Percy

[crystal sleet]

Cant wait for the eventual Perseus Bandai model kit

[humble anvil]

Mm

[crystal sleet]

Imagine the kitbashes that could exist

[humble anvil]

OwO

[crystal sleet]

Graf Spee x Perseus

Or a Perseus with an angled runway/catapult

Triple flight deck Perseus!

[crystal sleet]

You know that mgs clip where the player unloads a magazine into a boss off screen during their speech? Would be funny if it was the perseus and the idris

[humble anvil]

[timid wind]

are the small remote turrets on the percy supposed to function like PDCs (automatic)?

[humble anvil]

Ya

By default

They come automated by default

[timid wind]

so they are automatic PDCs that can be taken over as a remote turret

siick

[humble anvil]

PDT

Maybe PDC

But yeah shit maybe just really big PDC

[humble anvil]

It's looking like it's getting ballistic PDCs on the turret tho

[timid wind]

is that bad? and surely it'll be changeable?

[humble anvil]

Not bad

It might be alt fire guns for turret n not PDC tho

[lone bloom]

Imagine - what if its both, if not used as alt fire it acts like pdc - if actively used as alt fire its just turret gun

[quaint scaffold]

So last month they said that the Perseus was in its LOD0 Gate Review, does that mean it’s at the end of LOD0 or what?

[lone bloom]

It means its pretty much finished

Only balancing and finishing touches

Likely already passed those things as we got the information its in gate review

Since they do those monthly reports ~15 days prior of their release

Thats why we keep saying it MIGHT happen that it comes at Citcon as suprise ship, depending on where the Paladin will sit

[quaint scaffold]

I truly think it will come at Citcon. I know they said IAE already but we already know October ship is supposed to be carrack sized with ballistic bespoke weapons.

[lone bloom]

they didn't hard confirm it for IAE

They said its "planned" for IAE

[quaint scaffold]

Gotcha.

[lone bloom]

Prob did not expected themselfes its done that early

especially not before paladin is done

[lone bloom]

Thought the "carrack sized" ship is a fully unknown ship?

Kinda expected now a anvil sub cap

[quaint scaffold]

Not entirely sure, all I heard is it’s supposed to be carrack sized.

[lone bloom]

(also perseus is kinda way smaller)

[quaint scaffold]

If the updates to the length are true it is just shorter than the carrack.

They could’ve meant Carrack length or so.

[lone bloom]

its smaller in every way tho xD

[quaint scaffold]

But to release the Perseus plus another sub-cap would be kinda crazy.

[lone bloom]

I keep forgetting how fucking fat the carrack is ngl

[quaint scaffold]

Hmm idk then lol

[lone bloom]

i mean if they increased the size it could be similar sized

if they increased to like 115 meters

Still smaller, but similar at last then

I don't mind if they release it citizenscon since I got mine now too

[desert gorge]

in the end the Carrack is for exploration

Even tho the Perseus is stupidly heavily armoured

[timid wind]

its not small, its just sleek

[humble anvil]

God damn

Perseus is just beautiful

I really hope it doesn't grow much

Perfect sized

[timid wind]

its said that it might gain some meters in length

i like the bridge tho, and how it overlooks the bow of the boat

it does look like the bridge is its only window though, which is kinda sad

i like windows

[humble anvil]

Oh it's okay

It still has it's side view

The just added on the side

Angle is hard to see the bridge glass but the shape of the "additional Eva access" to bridge you can tell the glass of bridge goes back a little

Oh you mean like Apollo glass up top

Yeah.... That's the only window xddd

[timid wind]

no i mean side facing windows, portholes, whatever, just windows

i like side facing windows where people aboard can look out of

there is a small window looking panel above the docking port tho, but i dont think it is one

[humble anvil]

Yeah only a little on the bridge

Dude holy shit

Eva access is fat

It's really chunky

Wonder if they added onto the other side to make it symmetrical

And put components in over there

Would be a fantastic use of space

Like they already made the side chunky might as well finish it

Would be incredibly stupid to just do one side. Tbh it'd upset me

Ahh yeah

@lone bloom I think those are ballistic PDC on the turret. Riddle me stupid

It's so dumb but

[lone bloom]

they cant

The elevator is there

[humble anvil]

They can build around it

[lone bloom]

Eva access is very likely just on the opposite side

of the elevator entrance

[humble anvil]

I'm going to fucking fuck if the Perseus is asymmetrical

[lone bloom]

it is already

look at the docking collar

At least assymetrical interior wise

[humble anvil]

Go to cig

Fix this

[lone bloom]

don't get that either way why they made it assymetrical there

polaris also has two on both sides

why not perseus?

[humble anvil]

Yeah you right

Hold up ravit

Maybe... Maybe they will

Maybe we'll get two airlocks, 1 Eva access and they'll bring the other side of the bridge out to match the one side with Eva

They'll stuff more components in there

A Capital shield

Okay hearing me out? Right

[crystal sleet]

maybe the other wall has comps

[humble anvil]

Strip the s3 shields for 1 capital

Right

And add more Powerplant

And coolers

4head

[crystal sleet]

capital grade coolers, because why not

[humble anvil]

Fuck it

[crystal sleet]

make it run colder than absolute 0

so cold it transforms any matter it touches into strange matter

[humble anvil]

68•f all times

Oh

That cold?!?!

Gawd damn

[crystal sleet]

make the Perseus an inlore SCP

[humble anvil]

Hammerhead also get a capital shield

4head

[crystal sleet]

the 5head, shield so strong it has mass

[humble anvil]

Rams a carrack

No sweat

ERT so easy

[crystal sleet]

no, carrack rams 5head because shield mass so dense it pulls in large ships

[humble anvil]

OH MY GAWWWWD

HELL YEAH

[crystal sleet]

those fighters are gonna have a bad day getting stuck in the 5heads orbit

[humble anvil]

Everything still wip, tbd

[crystal sleet]

just means everything that can happen will happen

[humble anvil]

Yesssss

More time to cook

Beautiful pot roast Perseus

Been simmering for months

[crystal sleet]

Perseus can probably be eaten raw, its just that stable

[humble anvil]

The meat will disintegrate in your mouth

Back to work I go

[lone bloom]

They can't

Would make it instantly a Capital ship

More likely more S3 shields

[humble anvil]

Yeah but

Official capital sub capital

S5.5

Trust bro

They can hit us with the because we're going to NYX

They can hit us with the in collaboration with XIAN scientist. RSI has formulated the ultimate protection with size and efficiency specifically tailored for the RSI Perseus

Trust bro trust

Capital shield bro trust

Turtle people praise turtle people

[lone bloom]

Cap comps would make it officially cap

CIG stated if a ship has a capital component they are a capital ship

[humble anvil]

SIZE 3.5 SHIELD

BESPOKE S3

Big shields, praise turtle

[lone bloom]

turtle would mean more hull hp tho

because turtle terrapin

[reef wind]

[humble anvil]

Please chRobert

[lone bloom]

how bout

tanky shield and tanky hull

[humble anvil]

I love that idea

[desert gorge]

where roadmap

[humble anvil]

Look I don't want them to make a bespoke shield but at the same time, I think our Perseus should get special treatment

And the hammerhead too

Mhm!!! Yup

They'll make a new shield called _ And it will have 5 00k

[lone bloom]

i mean the caps also get special treatment

with their bespoke cap components

BUT

bespoke components are meh because they are way easier to balance xD

[humble anvil]

I guess for the right now if they do quad size 3 then it will have regen of four

But I think we'll run into a power problem xd

[lone bloom]

with 4 s3 likely

with 3x s3 not

[humble anvil]

Redeemer be like

[lone bloom]

what if

third reactor

[humble anvil]

Huge

You know that could be one way they balance the Perseus

Xd

It's just forever locked to Ballistics

No conversion kit

Even the remote gotlings forever ballistic

PDC's? Ballistic

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

And they give it a lot of shields and whole HP and stuff

[tawny fern]

They should put a little easter egg somewhere in the ship recognizing the absolute insanity of perseus pal posters

[coarse cloud]

f

purrseus is safe

for now

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

This Poster

[humble anvil]

A little sticker that says Perseus Pals with the handshake 'you son of a bitch meme'

[lone bloom]

just slap it somewhere at Hurston in the shipshop

or Area 18 depending on where it will be puchaseable
