Perseus Pals

[lone bloom]

HH has medium sub cap armor

Perseus has heavy sub cap armor

[normal fossil]

Yes, I just mean the difference between them won’t be significant

I think our balancing will come from turret rotation rather than ship speed itself

[lone bloom]

And to catch up to that, yes, I still have my bet on that the percy will just sit in a blindspot of a capital and fuck it up from behind

and aslong it has no escort, WHICH IT SHOULD HAVE - it will get destroyed

[normal fossil]

Honestly, I think as long as you’re running a Perseus and a Paladin, you’re covering all your bases

[lone bloom]

yeah if the Perseus also comes with a paladin as its own escort

you're screwed lol

[timid wind]

i dont think one fighter will be enough to kill a percy

[normal fossil]

Well, guess it’s good that I’ve got two friends with paladins and I have a Perseus and enough crew for all the ships

[lone bloom]

Obv not

CIG states also "Swarm" of fighters

i mean "it should not" we all know a single fighter will - with the current game

[normal fossil]

The armor will prevent light fighters from being able to solo the Perseus however they might be able to disable turrets

Maybe engines, but they won’t be able to destroy the ship

[lone bloom]

I think Medium to heavy fighters will be a percy counter

after engineering and armor

aka stuff like Ares, Vanguard, Scorpius

F7A

Aka everything that has weapon ranges from S4 to S5

(or s7 in terms of ares)

[normal fossil]

Agreed

Yeah, but the Aries is a fairly decently sized target

I’ll be happy though if the Perseus can deal with anything, Connie size and up with its main guns

In terms of tracking

[lone bloom]

My imagination: It will deal with any ship class in PvE from light fighter (because of the PDcs and the 2 other turrets + the soft confirmed 2xS3 mounts on the main turrets) up to a idris

[normal fossil]

Oh yeah, but PVP is almost always mostly depending on the crew

[lone bloom]

In PvP it will lose to 2 or more F7A likely, will fuck up anything between connie and idris sized, if they don't have escort

And I don't think thats big cope here

afterall a Hammerhead can do so too

just with more crew ofc

I mean a HH kills a fully crewed Polaris easily even

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but again like we stated earlier, it’s because the Polaris isn’t meant to brawl. It’s pretty easy to get behind a Polaris and then just you know bullet sponge it.

[lone bloom]

but thats prob because of the nature of the polaris not being able to brawl / not meant to

[lone bloom]

I mean if its a skeleton crew Idris with no escort it will share the same fate

afterall its just two dual S5

in the "blind spot"

Capitals simply need escort to be good

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but I think that’s on purpose with capital ships to enforce 1 escorts 2 to prevent the biggest ship in the area from always winning

Capitals are more org focused. The Perseus is more small group focused.

[lone bloom]

I mean, a skeleton crew Idris even loses o a few F7Cs...

[fallow wharf]

It’s not optimized at all

[lone bloom]

We meant in terms of combat

Not FPS

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but you’ve got a account for skill differences for players

[lone bloom]

tbf i don't have fps issues on polaris

but probably because of 64 gb ram lol

[normal fossil]

As in what, boardings?

[lone bloom]

Frames per second

[normal fossil]

Oh never mind yeah I don’t have any frame issues on the Polaris either

[lone bloom]

Idris doesn't have that issue so far ik

only polaris

also in terms of boarding : Percy got hardcore nerfed in terms of that

twice

original concept was literally unboardable or at least a death trap

now its a walk on a cloud

[normal fossil]

How so?

[lone bloom]

Original the only ship access lead to the cargo room

[normal fossil]

I mean, it’s still technically is you just put one guy in the elevator all you really gotta do is defend the bridge anyways

[lone bloom]

either personal elevator, docking collar, or freight elevator

Well no

it has now an airlock

next to the bridge

between engineering infront of the elevator

[normal fossil]

But that’s my point the elevator and the airlock in the bridge you just defend that corridor because that’s where the engineering is

[lone bloom]

Boarders are just 1 door away each of engineering and or bridge

[lone bloom]

well yes, but if that point is lost, the entire ship is lost in an instant

before you as defender had the high ground due to the catwalk in the cargo bay

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but me if you’re getting boarded on a Perseus, you’ve kinda got bigger issues anyways

[lone bloom]

and they had to go through multiple doors that are potentially locked

and the bridge itsself also has no cover anymore

since they removed (ffs) the desks

[normal fossil]

Not like the catwalk really provides cover anyways

Maybe concealment but not cover

[lone bloom]

but the doors connecting to it

[normal fossil]

I know I feel like the airlocks regardless are really bad choke points and are gonna be a pain to get through

[lone bloom]

and we all know in SC the first hit is likely always the most important hit since that person that gets hit usually dies xD

we love desync xd

[normal fossil]

We need like riot shields or something to help with entering through choke points

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/eternal-empire-knight-of-zakuul-gif-14675206489346790543

[normal fossil]

Because otherwise all you gotta do is watch those two airlocks

And just do the Russian strategy of throwing bodies at it till it goes away lol

[lone bloom]

well

smoke grenades would also be a option

[normal fossil]

And forget it if you’ve got an MTC or something in that cargo bay

[lone bloom]

or fps scanning

[normal fossil]

Scanning won’t do you too much good if you still have to enter through the same door

Smoke could work, but again the scanning will still expose you

[lone bloom]

but you would at least know where the enemy is sitting

and not go in blind hoping they don't spray you instantly down before you even see them

[normal fossil]

You know what you do then, you put an SCU container against the airlock and then park a vehicle next to it so they can’t move it

[lone bloom]

explosive containers

[normal fossil]

lol

No just an empty cargo container

[solid anvil]

fill up every inch of your ship off grid

come and get me buddy

lol

[lone bloom]

you could also turn the ship into a death trap lol

[normal fossil]

Hey man, I don’t see the problem you’re removing the threat

[lone bloom]

like, having the doors open except engineering and bridge

and if you see on engineering they are between two doors

close them

and self destruct

[solid anvil]

instead of a riot shield, you push with a 2 scu container

[lone bloom]

the forbidden shield

[normal fossil]

Just throw an explosive container into the room

[solid anvil]

loool

BREACH BREACH

[normal fossil]

They’ll never see this Pokémon coming

[solid anvil]

1 scu containers come flying through the door

[lone bloom]

tbf i don't think breaching ships will be that common tho

even with engineering

[normal fossil]

Probably not most players will probably just give up on fighting the ship once it’s soft death

[lone bloom]

most people just gonna go backspace once softdeath

[normal fossil]

The only reason to board is if you’re a pirate trying to get cargo

Or maybe a bounty

[lone bloom]

before I enter that ship in fps

I would try to ballistic kill that dude through the hull

[solid anvil]

at least most of the time, the hanger will open and you can see the cargo, so you just pull it out without entering the ship

[normal fossil]

I’d probably just go for the power plant and just have the ship go nuclear

[solid anvil]

ironclad roof door will make it easier to rob haha

[lone bloom]

Yeah you can still hard death ships unless the engineer (before getting killed by ballistic penetration ig) plugs out the reactors

[normal fossil]

Honestly, I think the ironclad is overhyped. I think once engineering comes up. Drake is gonna be very weak with armor and it’s gonna be prone to fires.

[lone bloom]

i mean its a cargo ship

[normal fossil]

I mean, Drake in general, not just the ironclad though

[lone bloom]

bet many ships won't be able to do much combat

and ironclad will be one of the easierst loadable ships

[normal fossil]

Oh yeah, for sure a lot of ships will die as meta combat ships

Or even just as daily drivers

[lone bloom]

F to all people that want bounty hunting as loop

and only have a starter

[normal fossil]

I mean I’d like the MR

Bounty hunting 2.0 sounds cool, just depends on how they implement it

[lone bloom]

I mean

with foxwell paying more by now....

Hope they don't lock bounty behind dedicated bounty ships

like you have to have an quantum interdictor

that would suck

[normal fossil]

They shouldn’t the cryo pods will be able to be bought separately and put on SCU grids

More than likely, the PVE side will just be like normally normal bounty missions. It’ll just be capture instead of kill.

[lone bloom]

no doubt that will be the case but all dedicated bounty ships have EMP or quantum interdiction

or dampener

and I hope those aren't like - neccessary

[normal fossil]

I don’t think they will. They’ll probably just be like a tool to make it easier.

[lone bloom]

I mean sure, for some missions maybe, like go to X position and activate your quantum interdictor

[normal fossil]

Similar to how you don’t need a medical ship in order to do medical gameplay

[lone bloom]

"Medical gameplay" that doesn't exist in the first place xD

[normal fossil]

lol true but you get my point you can either get a nursa or just transport

[lone bloom]

Just strapping a few cyro pods into the percy and go hunting lol

[normal fossil]

As for this I doubt all mission will be like that

[lone bloom]

Thats why I said some missions

[normal fossil]

Yeah, it wouldn’t be the end of the world though

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/why-are-you-running-why-are-you-running-away-pretty-liars1-nollywood-gif-16102856

[lone bloom]

Thats why I said foxwell missions pay well too either way

in fact, better

Redlevel foxwell can even be duot and still pay "okay"

while in bounty hunting your payment is shit if you duo it

[normal fossil]

Yeah, I just can’t multi crew when I’m trying to make money because it’s almost always quicker to make money solo

[lone bloom]

Most of the time, yes

I hope just percy shreds through those missions duo

[normal fossil]

If they just made it to where everyone got paid the full amount and if you reach the waypoint, then you don’t get paid, It would fix it and add multi crew incentives

[lone bloom]

that makes the splitting not noticeable

because you're doing the missions significantly faster

[normal fossil]

I don’t think I’ve ever done missions with crew that was fast enough to make a significant difference in profit

There’s a very select few missions that can do it

[lone bloom]

I mean no doubt a Percy gonna kill a HH or two in way less time than a connie

xD

and connie is the best pve ship still

[normal fossil]

Yes, but my point isn’t just combat like my friends the other day wanted to make money and multi crew and do bounty missions but it’d be way faster if I just did cargo missions by myself

In order for me to make money

[lone bloom]

well dunno don't do cargo hauling because its fucking boring

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but I like games like ATS and Arma so I’m more of a SIM guy anyways

So it doesn’t bother me

Besides, it’s not like cargo hauling is any different than any other space game

[lone bloom]

I don't mean the flying back and forth to stations

I mean the shit amount of containers you get mostly

and have to load and unload dozens of containers that could've been just 3 32containers

[normal fossil]

True, they should let you change what cargo containers you get, but that really doesn’t bother me

Most are 4 or 8 scu anyways

[lone bloom]

also in my view, combat should pay the most money at some point - simply because it has the most risk involved (especially with insurance, warranty and death of a spacemen at some point)

[normal fossil]

I don’t know I would agree but the logistic side of an MMO and the PVE side is incredibly important because without them then the PVPs have nothing especially if this game is wanting to have a dynamic economy. The logistics has to be an incentivizing game loop.

[lone bloom]

i mean combat missions are pve?

xD

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but my same point remains because then everyone’s just gonna be operating combat ships and no one‘s gonna want to engage in the economy or movement of goods in the future

[lone bloom]

I mean combat ships need to restock etc

and considering they want it to be a mostly player driven economy players also have to make ammo etc

and either sell it to players or sell it to stations

and then there is still basebuilding which also will need cargo hauling, mining, and salvage

potentially also combat for blueprints

[normal fossil]

Yes, but they’re going to substantially hurt their player base numbers if everything is always directed towards combat

[lone bloom]

I don't think that combat simply paying more would cause many problems

[normal fossil]

If it pays too much then, yes but slightly more is fine

[lone bloom]

well then the Risk = Reward won't work

because a cargo hauler never gonna have the same risk

even if he flies in pyro

[normal fossil]

Well, if they implement the solar, flares and piracy becomes more frequent when we’re moving good more often that’s not necessarily true especially if they’re adding in AI pirates like they said then they will still have risk

Besides, when are you really at risk when fighting NPC’s?

[lone bloom]

Well, you are fighting npcs

you aren't with cargo hauling

[normal fossil]

But they said they’re adding NPC interdiction for cargo hauling missions so they will be running into fighters

[lone bloom]

and even if they implement AI pirates - it will just be a x% that you encounter them

while in combat its a 100% rate

[normal fossil]

But still, how many times have you actually died to an NPC and ship combat? I’ve almost never

[lone bloom]

im not saying it should pay like 100K more than everything else

but 20-30K wouldn't be bad^^

(speaking of higher contracts ofc)

[normal fossil]

Maybe I’m fine with them paying slightly more but I think when you start to reach high reps that difference should shrink

Specially, seeing how long it takes to grind those levels

[solid anvil]

i love it lowkey

[normal fossil]

But I’m fine where it sit now for the most part I just wish we had more large ship combat missions instead of everything being civilian ships or drop ships and the occasional f7a mrk1

[solid anvil]

i actually have an ironclad and no perseus lol

im a foreigner in this group, i do almost no combat

[normal fossil]

That’s all good dude everyone got their own thing doesn’t me you can’t like both

[solid anvil]

yeah

thats the great thing of this genre

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/general-zod-heresy-man-of-steel-superman-destroy-it-gif-25934938

[solid anvil]

trade, combat, and exploration baby

[normal fossil]

And even then, I’ve been trying to convince my friend to stop pledging shit because everything is gonna be in game anyway

[solid anvil]

yeaaah

[lone bloom]

except for the idris apparantly

[normal fossil]

Na that will be locked behind rep something. Besides, I don’t think it’ll be available in game until at least after SQ42 launches.

[solid anvil]

thats the fucked part, like, its easier to put the time in irl to make the money to get a capital than get it in game basically

well maybe not idris

[lone bloom]

Well aslong its locked behind wiketroll, yes

[solid anvil]

almost 2 grand now

[solid anvil]

yeah

[normal fossil]

But that’s kind of how MMO‘s are designed it’s to help the longevity of the game

[solid anvil]

indeed

its fine

as long as its all balanced

as long as i can trade without constant capital death, it will be fine haha

[normal fossil]

Besides like we discussed capitals are really only gonna be for orgs anyways they’re too easy to counter

[lone bloom]

I still only have spent 44 bucks on this game

[solid anvil]

really??

[lone bloom]

Yet I have a Starlancer Max -> Apollo Medivac Upgrade and a Perseus

with LTI*

[solid anvil]

WHAAAA

[normal fossil]

Yeah most people out side of this community don’t even know that is possible to only spend $44

[solid anvil]

oh ccu?

[lone bloom]

Partially yes, but mostly gifts

[solid anvil]

yeah

damn

wild

[lone bloom]

Got the whole perseus gifted by rustle

[solid anvil]

damn

[lone bloom]

[solid anvil]

alright rustle

my turn

its my turn rustle

[lone bloom]

He sold most of his stuff

[lone bloom]

doubt he gonna do shit xD

[solid anvil]

LMAO

he pulled out

gave up on the game?

[lone bloom]

Nah he saw how i deal with SC and said its likely the better mentality ( and financially) xD

No he still has his percy

[solid anvil]

yeaah

[lone bloom]

and probaly hundreds of store credits

[solid anvil]

you are smart

can you just like gift people ships on grey market to get your money out?

[lone bloom]

you can sell them and "gift" them basically

[solid anvil]

hmmmmm

[lone bloom]

partially you even make money

than losing

ofc only if you ccu'd

[solid anvil]

i may consider this and only have ironclad haha

right

[lone bloom]

I mean Perseus for example goes for 500+ bucks

partially even over 1K

with the paint and LTI

[solid anvil]

oh good heavens

[lone bloom]

while you can CCU to percy with 200-300 bucks

[normal fossil]

Yeah but lti isn’t worth much

[lone bloom]

obv not, but whales don't care about that or cope that it will even while CIG said it won't

[solid anvil]

indeed

[lone bloom]

and even explained why it won't

[solid anvil]

lti has a real obsession

[normal fossil]

lol right for years they said don’t chase lti

[solid anvil]

yeah

[lone bloom]

now last year they also said why

or better said, how LTI/insurance works

and that LTI does indeed, not matter that much

[solid anvil]

its basic ah insurance

[lone bloom]

level 1 free insurance

from 3 levels

and all ships have warranty and never get lost

[solid anvil]

ALSO like.. 10 year alone is fine if your crazy about it

yeah hahaha

[normal fossil]

Right

[solid anvil]

at least it means cheap insurance i guess

[normal fossil]

Random tangent here, but can we stop getting open face helms and wacky looking armor and get some cool stuff. Everything gotta look like it was home made or welded together

[solid anvil]

honestly im SUPER happy about all the exo style armors

with like the armor servos on them

excatly what i wanted

[normal fossil]

Yeah but it usually like the torso is cover but then most of the legs are exposed

[solid anvil]

plantino and the armor from the corpo event

[solid anvil]

yeaaah

[normal fossil]

I’ve still been on the aftershock armor with a tactical defiance helmet order the Mandalorian looking helmet because I haven’t found anything that can beat it

[solid anvil]

i feeel like we need some armor that fits ADP stype, some real soldier shit, but like closed face with cameras, it makes more sense for scifi warfare

[solid anvil]

mando helmet?

the paladin?

[normal fossil]

Yeah I forgot its name

Don’t have any photos of the aftershock armor set I wear

[solid anvil]

yeah that one

paladin

i like it

[azure fulcrum]

Wtffff

When I get home Im gonna turn that video in my desktop baxkground

Edit it with only the percius parts

[long gyro]

It so much cooler

and now startac coming out for auec

My starlancer is getting upgraded

100 million %

[azure fulcrum]

I dont even care about the color anhmore

[lone bloom]

also that video just confirmed the S3 mantis turrets

on the main turrets

[coarse cloud]

did you also see the lower nose dual s3?

fucking insane

[vagrant summit]

did it get bigger? it seems bigger compared to the pooo-laris

[azure fulcrum]

Yep rustle and my theory was correct

[coarse cloud]

it looks fucking huge aswell

[azure fulcrum]

Everybody doubted us

[coarse cloud]

120x60x25?

it looks much bigger than before

mabye its just those behomeoth s8

@quaint scaffold pioneer btw

[azure fulcrum]

Capital huge?

[quaint scaffold]

Huh

Where?

[coarse cloud]

^

[long gyro]

Have you seen the perseus video

[coarse cloud]

look

[quaint scaffold]

Watching it now.

[vagrant summit]

those turrets are huge

[azure fulcrum]

Its something

[vagrant summit]

but its going to be such a target if it only has 2 size 3 shields

they have to change that

[quaint scaffold]

Where is the Pioneer?

I don’t see it.

[azure fulcrum]

@humble anvil our theory was spot on DUAL altfire mantis on the main turret

[lone tundra]

@nocturne raft center pilot seat

[coarse cloud]

its insane

most doubted theory in existance

but correct

[long gyro]

I'm going to have fun engineering this

[coarse cloud]

although

im gunna be that guy

[quaint scaffold]

I’m so confused.

Perseus is cool tho.

[coarse cloud]

im being a reatrd

i meant to say perseus

lmao

[quaint scaffold]

[azure fulcrum]

Fucking glorious day, after our darkest moment in percius history we get blown away

[coarse cloud]

the size 8s look goofy as hell

but apart from that i love it

[quaint scaffold]

Perseus looks sick though.

[long gyro]

Uhhh what

[quaint scaffold]

Looks better imo.

[coarse cloud]

I cant tell if everything has got bigger

or its just those oversized cannons

[azure fulcrum]

The bridge is kinda fat

[long gyro]

I think I preferred the old one

Also

boring grey guys

confirmed

[azure fulcrum]

That chin remote turret duuude

Pilot controlled xd

[long gyro]

When are we seeing the inside

[long gyro]

All nose weapons slaved to pilot xD

[azure fulcrum]

Yeah thats kinda unfortunate

[lone bloom]

ngl the chin turret is meh doesn't fit to the siluette

[long gyro]

Lower or upper?

[azure fulcrum]

Weird artistic decision but it makes practical sense at least

[azure fulcrum]

Chin lower

[long gyro]

ah

yeah but firepower is firepower

[azure fulcrum]

I think it has liek 3 remote turrets now

[lone tundra]

am I high or is the perspective just fucked on this

[steel thistle]

IAE patch will be the first ever PTU i play

never bothered, said i would when percy comes out

just cuz i’m lazy to copy the files

[lone bloom]

lower

[bitter gust]

I like the lower chin turret, gives more anti fighter coverage

[azure fulcrum]

At least 3 remote turrets

Jesus

[lone bloom]

no doubt its gonna be good gameplay wise

but visually i don't like the chin turret

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-acceptable-gus-fring-acceptable-better-call-saul-acceptable-gif-25806361

[azure fulcrum]

Needs more turrets

Bigger guns

[floral rapids]

Wait is there a picture showing the lower S7 turret?

[azure fulcrum]

Wouldve preferred a chin strapped s12 railgun

[floral rapids]

Oh it’s still there thank god

[lone bloom]

late to the party brother

[west verge]

I had no idea this was a thing so have to make sure

[lone bloom]

wait

is that a leak or did a IAE video drop?

[steel thistle]

the turrets have little gattlings on top

🔥

[steel thistle]

iae vid

[west verge]

I have no idea

[lone bloom]

Just like we said

months ago

S3 Mantis

[steel thistle]

yeah but why

do they have them

[azure fulcrum]

They better sell us perseus uniforms

[lone bloom]

Why not

more BRRT

more dakka

[azure fulcrum]

Cause im larping

[steel thistle]

idk about the chin PDT looks weird

[lone bloom]

yes it does

but now we know why there wasn't a picture of the percy in the monthly report

[azure fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-lonely-sad-gif-5305120

[steel thistle]

i doubt it blocks the bottom turret view because that front view was pretty bad anyway

so it doesn’t have PDCs i guess

they just added another turret and some gatling to the cannons

nvm it does

[lone bloom]

xD

[lone bloom]

i see at least one pdc

[steel thistle]

yes

[lone bloom]

yeah that one

prob on the other side too

[steel thistle]

okay they did good

[lone bloom]

but where are the other two

[steel thistle]

don’t like the bridge tho

concept bridge was peak

[azure fulcrum]

Glorious new pdc type ballistic

[lone bloom]

wait if it isn't a leak

why is it not on their yt

also the chin turret does not neccessary mean it has now three remote turrets

[azure fulcrum]

Prob 1 on the rear and maybe one near the chin or in the middle bottom?

[lone bloom]

they could also have moved the one between the engines

[azure fulcrum]

Thats what im thinking

This is nuts

[severe lynx]

isnt that an m2c swarm

[lone bloom]

can't spot the other pdc

[steel thistle]

yeah they could’ve removed the rear bottom one

with the engines

idk why tho could’ve had a PDC there would’ve been less ugly

fr

[lone bloom]

the back turret did not got moved

[azure fulcrum]

No thats a missile pdc

Fml my phone is dying

[celest kite]

Oh glorious Perseus! Let us praise ye glory and might!

[lone bloom]

looks to me like its still there

also the engines have a purple dust/shine behind them lol

[severe lynx]

hopefully the thundercloud looks good on it

[lone bloom]

This looks to me like the back turret

[lone bloom]

(it won't and we all know it)

[steel thistle]

it won’t it looks bad even in concept

[normal fossil]

Where is the video I can’t find it

[lone bloom]

scroll up

just a few min

got posted by herring and iris

[normal fossil]

There is no audio

[lone bloom]

at least we know now they did not fuck up the engines

well no there is no audio

apparantly

[thorn otter]

In case no one has noticed: gatling guns on the turret

[fallow wharf]

Hah

[lone bloom]

we did notice

months ago

with the very first sneak peak

[thorn otter]

Was it known back then?

Damn

I did not know

[lone bloom]

you were able to tell that those are Mantis Gatlings

[severe lynx]

i will make it look good

[lone bloom]

from the back

[steel thistle]

i hope they’re gimbled

[lone bloom]

So confirmed things so far - likely 3 remote turrets instead of 2, confirmation that the main turrets have s3 Mantis gatlings now aswell, and at least 2 pdcs (didn't found the other two yet)

[steel thistle]

otherwise they’ll be useless

those cannons will turn so slow

[lone bloom]

and non bespoke*

[steel thistle]

so you’re not hitting anything small with those gattlings

[steel thistle]

we both know they’ll be bespoke

[lone bloom]

it’s okay when we run out of s8 ammo we can switch to the mantis GT3 and easily take that idris down

[lone bloom]

I want to clap NBDS on them

also they removed our gamer LED strips near the bridge

[steel thistle]

not surprised they keep buffing it it’s an RSI ship

[lone bloom]

[steel thistle]

capital shield pls cig

[fallow wharf]

Are s3 mantis gatlings any good?

[lone bloom]

HOLD UP GUYS I SAW SOMETHING

THE CARGO BAY HAS WINDOWS

WTF

[vast lagoon]

It's for the docked nova tank, don't worry

[lone bloom]

on both sides of the docking collars

just slow down the video alot

can even see the catwalk

and @humble anvil just missing a historical moment

[lone bloom]

@azure fulcrum cargobay has 4 windows

charge your fucking phone xD

[fallow wharf]

You sure it’s windows?

[lone bloom]

it is

you can see the catwalk

you even see the opposite wall

with the window

[fallow wharf]

Is it me or does the wings on the side of the ship seem rather short?

[normal fossil]

Oh shit they are windows, you can see it in the first couple seconds

[normal fossil]

Have we found the other two pdcs?

[lone bloom]

not yet

but that I found the windows is peak lmao

[fallow wharf]

Brother is using binoculars on 720p video IAE leak he dangerous

[lone bloom]

You forgor what I work as

I notice shit like that

[grave canyon]

where'd they share that video

[lone bloom]

also not me having the video running on 0.2 speed

[lone bloom]

Pipeline apparantly

[fallow wharf]

I am not yet on pc so can’t do crazy experiments yet

[lone bloom]

and here twice

[grave canyon]

cool

anyways well

we're there boys

the wait is almost over

gattling on turrets is peak

[normal fossil]

I’m glad they listen to the community and added the remote turret to the chin

[grave canyon]

is that like a cargo ramp or just gibberish wth

[normal fossil]

Would be neat but unnecessary last word that side is decorative

Only one side has a docking port

[lone bloom]

Docking collar, but they said only one side is functional

[grave canyon]

recently they said that?

[normal fossil]

No originally

[lone bloom]

as its concept announcement they said that

[grave canyon]

yeah i know the qa

[lone bloom]

but i doubt its a ramp

[normal fossil]

Same

[grave canyon]

this looks more like a docking collar to me but small af

[humble anvil]

What i miss

[lone bloom]

Thrusters

everything rustle

full video

[humble anvil]

My DMS were fuckin flooded

[lone bloom]

of perseus

[humble anvil]

I'M GONNA COME

[lone bloom]

Here you go rustle (sorry for ping herring)

[humble anvil]

@lone bloom Give me Tldr

[grave canyon]

i don't think this can be the docking port no?

[grave canyon]

aren't they using standard docking ports mostly nowadays

[humble anvil]

DUDE

LOOK AT THOSE PDC

[lone bloom]

Current information: Perseus has 4 windows in the cargo bay - it gained another remote chin turret, we found so far 2 pdcs

[humble anvil]

OHHHH SHIT

ANOTHER REMOTE CHIN TURRET?

Hold up

[lone bloom]

beneath the main turret

oh

and alt fire confirmed

on both main turrets

[humble anvil]

YOOOOOOOO

[azure fulcrum]

No charger im fucked until i get home noooo

[humble anvil]

My ai generate prompt was close

[coarse cloud]

FINALLY RUSTLE

[lone bloom]

bro even displaying seconds on his time

[coarse cloud]

IT HAPPEND

[humble anvil]

$900 @coarse cloud ship

[coarse cloud]

REAL

[azure fulcrum]

That looks so different wtf

[lone bloom]

we can also see slightly into the cargo bay

[coarse cloud]

extra s3 nose

[coarse cloud]

WE CAN?

[lone bloom]

yeah because of the 4 windows

but poor quality

because of 720p video

[humble anvil]

Dude

[azure fulcrum]

Doood wtf

[coarse cloud]

holeeee

[fallow wharf]

Everything bro

[humble anvil]

Oh my god I thought I couldn't be excited

I thought I knew everything

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-my-kingdom-cum-cum-fridge-gif-22354569

[grave canyon]

looks like rear coverage is rough

[humble anvil]

CiG said; hold my beer

Dude

It looks

Beyond good

[lone bloom]

but rustle

they removed one thing

[grave canyon]

i told yall

[coarse cloud]

the size though is weird ass

[grave canyon]

when you started to fkn doom over the bridge pic

[lone bloom]

they took your gaming LED strips near the bridge

[coarse cloud]

difficult to tell now

[grave canyon]

that you should not

[lone bloom]

the bridge is still shit

F you

[coarse cloud]

It is fucking white

*shite

[grave canyon]

the bridge is fine

[azure fulcrum]

It looks scary

[coarse cloud]

they spent soo much time perfecting weaponary

[normal fossil]

Some people can never be pleased

[coarse cloud]

that the interior is worse than the idris

[grave canyon]

and you guys thought the ship was now turned into shit completely just off one picture

[azure fulcrum]

Perseus looks like its gonna struggle snuggle carebear without consent?

[steel thistle]

where even is this video tho

[azure fulcrum]

🙈

[humble anvil]

I'm going to hyper analyze video offline

[lone bloom]

i don't remember anyone saying that

[normal fossil]

Everyone leave I need a minute with the video

[lone bloom]

Just that the bridge is very poolarized and there is potential they did that with every other room too

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/caught-in-4k-meme-sus-gif-12038320933253907802

[fallow wharf]

It’s got two Polaris search lights on both left and right underside

[coarse cloud]

can’t blame ya

https://tenor.com/view/wizard-cat-ai-bagpipes-wizard-cat-bagpipes-ai-gif-600262077466332268

Me right now

[fallow wharf]

Ping me if you find new shit please

[humble anvil]

Now the only thing they need is a bespoke capital shield that's about 150k

And I'll fucking bust

$900 ship

[fallow wharf]

500k

[coarse cloud]

rip my wallet for those fr 86s if that’s the case

[humble anvil]

Fr86 ain't worth n wipe every patch

[lone bloom]

why turrets turned to the back here

protecting guns against damage while entering atmo?

[coarse cloud]

Drag

[lone bloom]

will that be a t hing

lol

[coarse cloud]

fucking drag bro

Really badly modelled drag

To be precise

the same thing that makes PDTs tweak in quantum travel

[fallow wharf]

It already is a thing during quantum

Same with Polaris and idris turrets turning to the back side when not holding C

[coarse cloud]

it’s because of poorly modelled quantum drag no

[tawny fern]

Wow rustle was right they’re using the dual cannon/gatling system from sq42

He really is a genius hug

[steel thistle]

i think it’s just when in quantum

[tawny fern]

Huh

[steel thistle]

all turrets return to a certain point when in quantum and lock don’t they

likely that percy’s lock backward

[normal fossil]

If you turn off your weapons, they’ll be locked forward

[fallow wharf]

Not when players in it

[normal fossil]

Yeah, but they probably had AI in it

[foggy silo]

where does this image came from pls ?

[fallow wharf]

Yeah

[lone bloom]

IAE video leak

[fallow wharf]

Video

[lone bloom]

full perseus exterior pretty much

[grave canyon]

i'm like %90 sure most of the bridge fattening is just in people's heads

[foggy silo]

WHERE

WHEEEEEERRRRRE

[humble anvil]

God damn the Perseus looks so fuckin good

[foggy silo]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*

[fallow wharf]

This video

[foggy silo]

THX GOD

[humble anvil]

It's so good

[steel thistle]

i think bridge is same size just ugly/empty inside now without desks

[foggy silo]

My pant is very tight rn

[steel thistle]

so looks bigger

[grave canyon]

[fallow wharf]

Agree

I am more concerned about our other 2 PDCs

[grave canyon]

yeah the rear coverage seems hopeless

[fallow wharf]

Imagine they removed 2 PDCs to add one chin pdt

[grave canyon]

which is fair tbh

[normal fossil]

Seeing how the rumor said 4 PDC’s, we might not just be able to see the two that are in the rear, but even then the ship does need some sort of weakness

[foggy silo]

omg

[fallow wharf]

rather have the pdc tbh

[foggy silo]

3 pdc spoted

[grave canyon]

nah i was saying that before you said that

[humble anvil]

If those turrets are bladed by default mmmm baby but good this is good

[grave canyon]

i don't care for the chin gun/pdt

[fallow wharf]

Where is third?

[foggy silo]

thx bro

[grave canyon]

i just don't mind that the rear is not covered by pdt

[lone bloom]

3 ? where

[foggy silo]

two on the side near the front and one underneath

[lone bloom]

make pic

[foggy silo]

let me screen

[grave canyon]

oh yeah i see it too

[steel thistle]

where’s the video from leakers?

[foggy silo]

hm

[grave canyon]

isn't this pdc?

[foggy silo]

thats not a pdc

[lone bloom]

thats the other main turret

[grave canyon]

that's chin gun

[coarse cloud]

L22 alpha wolf?

[fallow wharf]

[foggy silo]

they move th rear t3 guns at the chin ?

[lone bloom]

no you can see it still at the back

[grave canyon]

they look like they have lidar looking thingies on the turret lol

[lone bloom]

likely has three now

[foggy silo]

3 t3 guns

okay

[grave canyon]

i wonder if you'll be able to shoot those to throw off the targeting or smt

[coarse cloud]

pilot controlled though or what?

[normal fossil]

It looks like the Gatlin‘s on the turret

[fallow wharf]

I really am a fan of the purple engine beams

[foggy silo]

i hope the chin gun dont block the s8

[humble anvil]

I don't want to go back to work

[foggy silo]

wait wait

[coarse cloud]

neither

[fallow wharf]

I hope they sound crazy futuristic

[coarse cloud]

i wanna cope right up until november 20th

[foggy silo]

the s8 have 2 s3 on them ???????

[lone bloom]

yes

like we said

[foggy silo]

DAMN

[lone bloom]

months ago

[foggy silo]

Rustle was right

(hard to admit)

[fallow wharf]

[grave canyon]

his cope list was so long that he had to get one right

[lone bloom]

Wasn't it Rustle me and someone else (solar or self aware?)

[grave canyon]

like statistically he was gonna get one right anyway just with the sheer amount of things he coped about

[coarse cloud]

it was the 4 of us

[coarse cloud]

I think

[lone bloom]

i mean pretty sure it was group work to find out it was Mantis gatlings xD

[humble anvil]

My ai prompted Perseus script was Lowkey right

[grave canyon]

where this from

[lone bloom]

AI

[humble anvil]

[somber kettle]

Are they s3 or s4? The breakneck on the Shiv claim they are from a redacted source, could they be the gatlings?

[lone bloom]

S3

[coarse cloud]

Yeah we figured the only barrels that would make sense are those

[grave canyon]

bruh

i thought it was official stuff

[humble anvil]

Except it's not dual barrel

Xdddddd

[coarse cloud]

Yep lmao

[humble anvil]

Now we wait to hear about the bespoke shield it's going to get

[grave canyon]

i want to hear about internal reloading

fuck the shield

[round zodiac]

RSI first hype

[somber kettle]

I definitely need a reload after the video dropped...

[humble anvil]

They have to add another powerplant now

Thank God I've been buying extra js-500

Or they need to bespoke shield

[round zodiac]

full 2 week show too

[lone bloom]

Soo current stuff:

From our original first leak pic rumor : Both main turrets gained now two S3 Gatlings (Confirmed)
From "John Crewe leak": 4 PDCs and S8 upgun both turned out to be true (Confirmed)
Perseus apparantly also gained a third dual S3 chin turret (????)
Perseus gained (at least) 4 windows (cargo bay) 2 on each side (confirmed)

[humble anvil]

That's wayyy too much power

[foggy silo]

maybe but i think there are the same size as the anti fighter guns

on the chin and all

[humble anvil]

Those remote guns : blades in the future

I'm going to bust if they're defaulted

[somber kettle]

Or at launch...lol

[foggy silo]

In the future or at launch ?

[humble anvil]

I'm also going to bust if they add another medium computer

[lone bloom]

So current weaponry of the Perseus (saying it has 3 remote turrets now if not just take 2 S3 away) 8x S3, 4 PDCs, 20 S5 Torpedos, 4x S8

[tawny fern]

Per the perseus q&a, they’re supposed to come with blades already installed

[humble anvil]

Yes

$900 ship boys

We're going to the moon

[foggy silo]

i cant spot the last 2 pdc

[somber kettle]

I'm sticking with $825-850.

[round zodiac]

are these new pics?

[humble anvil]

The galaxy chin turret was a leak all along

[lone bloom]

probably somewhere at the belly side

which is barely shown

[foggy silo]

yeah i think yes

[somber kettle]

My Asgard is getting upgraded into Galaxy. Gotta rep the sexy Doritos.

[foggy silo]

i m gonna farm galaxy ig cause i m brooke

[somber kettle]

CCU hunting, it saves a lot.

[round zodiac]

why wasnt this on their youtube x.x

[somber kettle]

Asgard and Perseus, and I'm still under $800 total spent.

[humble anvil]

Perseus the only ship you'll need now

[foggy silo]

yeah

[humble anvil]

God damn they said; let's add more guns

They really did make it THE ship

[foggy silo]

i m fucking insane of the ship

even more

[humble anvil]

It's THE Standard

Jesus

High bar to beat now

[round zodiac]

goddamn shes beautiful

hope that sheen comes through in-game

[humble anvil]

All those remote turrets, bladed

[round zodiac]

and isnt just SFM lighting sliders

[humble anvil]

[foggy silo]

There were cooking

[lone bloom]

Because its leak

[fallow wharf]

[lone bloom]

Thats why no sound

[humble anvil]

This

[foggy silo]

sadly

i want to hear the engines

[humble anvil]

THEY HAD US IN THE FIRST HALF

[lone bloom]

I jinxed it, didn't i

[humble anvil]

THEY COOKED RAVIT

You son of a bitch

[lone bloom]

bridge still shit

[humble anvil]

You jinxed it

Wut

[lone bloom]

I will die on that hill

[humble anvil]

I'll cope

[lone bloom]

Bridge sneak peak

[fallow wharf]

I am 100% sure devs reading our chat here when shit gets leaked

[foggy silo]

nah bridge looks okay

[fallow wharf]

[round zodiac]

its embedded on their website

[lone bloom]

ofc they do, i mean, pipeline is marketing of CIG at that point

[foggy silo]

xD

[lone bloom]

they absolutely know when and what will get leaked

because they let it leak

[foggy silo]

CIG the Perseus look absolutely perfect

[round zodiac]

that video isnt a leak tho

[foggy silo]

If i didnt have one yet i would 100% pay rn

[lone bloom]

like, WHY in all in the world, would a IAE video leak? why would it be in the game files or anything?

especially in 720p lmao

They did send it to pipeline

lol

[foggy silo]

that weird

[somber kettle]

You can do it too.

Note it incorrectly says $255 for Asgard, I actually only paid $150. Perseus was $188 upgrade from my Zeus ES at the time.

[foggy silo]

i still wont do it x) i prefer to farm it

[round zodiac]

nice thing with Galaxy is you can just get the ship and not pledge the modules. aUEC the few modules you want

[fallow wharf]

Today has been a surprisingly very good day, the girl from university let me hit and right after work I see Perseus leak with more guns what’s next?

[round zodiac]

this IAE video isnt a leak tho :[

[foggy silo]

Double goated day

[fallow wharf]

Frfr

[lone bloom]

So the only shit part that got confirmed today is that it still has the polaris grey paint

[somber kettle]

I did it because it will persist through insurance implementation and 1.0 launch. Where grinding goes poof. I don't want that work going into the ether.

[fallow wharf]

Been on that grind for months

[lone bloom]

its not on their channel, and it got posted on pipeline so... eh

[round zodiac]

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20822-Countdown-To-IAE-2955

its just embedded into this

[lone tundra]

[lone bloom]

lmoo

lmao*

[somber kettle]

The video is on the tiktok, supposedly.

[fallow wharf]

moo

[tawny fern]

see

some people didnt even know this ship exists

[foggy silo]

Bruh

[round zodiac]

imagine not wanting to watch your bow turret rip ass

[foggy silo]

the whole ship is made to have 2 HUGE turrets

[round zodiac]

the designers put the guns on first, then built the housing around it

[fallow wharf]

Tell them it’s not for mantis owners

[foggy silo]

Whats your lenght guess guys ?

[round zodiac]

anyone 'waiting 1.0' doesnt understand SC

[fallow wharf]

115

[round zodiac]

everyone knows hte game will be worse in 1.0

[somber kettle]

Tbf, these were my first attempts at CCU with no previous diving into it. I did make use of one quick interaction with you Iris, and that spurred the attempt lol.

[lone bloom]

"You have a ship attached to your guns"

[round zodiac]

Perseus was my first and only big climb too. i plebbed my way to Redeemer, then saw the RSI super redeemer and started over XD

[foggy beacon]

gonna guess 120,130 ish

[fallow wharf]

Tbf the ship is actually a knife

[lone bloom]

Ares baby perseus, Redeemer mini Perseus, Paladin medium Perseus

[round zodiac]

i wonder if a reversing loop of that perseus shot could make it look like a long-shot

0:00:10 to 0:01:50 forward and reverse. m:ss:ms

i dont have time or software to make such a thign

[fallow wharf]

OMG imagine they pull off LED strip only for thundercloud paint

did someone already post the 2nd gif

[lone bloom]

no

[tawny fern]

what is this thing dangling from underneath the ship

[lone bloom]

the lost pdc

lmao

[normal fossil]

Looks like a pdc

[lone bloom]

we found it guys

https://tenor.com/view/precious-lotr-gollum-lord-of-the-rings-gif-12487860380481153718

[round zodiac]

na thats gotta be Jax McCleary

[fallow wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-clapping-clap-applause-amazing-gif-16078907558888063471

[tawny fern]

so we found all 4 pdc's

[foggy silo]

thx

[lone bloom]

@coarse cloud @humble anvil @azure fulcrum lost pdc got found

[fallow wharf]

From the looks of it it’s not centered right

Right?

[round zodiac]

so PDCs are 1 on undertail, lateral bows and ontop the bridge?

[tawny fern]

it looks like it's towards the side

not centered

[fallow wharf]

Maybe 5 pdc if there’s one on the engine back

I am coping now again

[tawny fern]

maybe im wrong idk

[round zodiac]

na i think its center, too small to be twin side mounts

[lone bloom]

it aint centered of the ship

if the main turret is next to it

[fallow wharf]

I think twin it’s not centered at all

[lone bloom]

lol

it literally can'tbe centered xd

[tawny fern]

yea (2) single pdc's left, (2) single pdc's right

[fallow wharf]

They can’t even shoot at the same direction so gotta be two

[lone bloom]

so also the 4 pdcs got now hard confirmed

[round zodiac]

maybe its landing gear retracted

is very smol

maybe not

[fallow wharf]

And one unconfirmed on engine back I will push this agenda now

[lone bloom]

wdym unconfirmed

there is the S3 turret

[crystal sleet]

How the fuck were we able to figure out there were windows for the cargo bay? That shit blurry af

[fallow wharf]

Bengal treatment

[crystal sleet]

Goddamn yall work fast

[lone bloom]

I did

[fallow wharf]

[lone bloom]

trying rn to get a better resolution on it

[crystal sleet]

I thought they were texture bugs, holes in the model lmao

[fallow wharf]

Go minimum speed and you can see inside very clear since focus somehow managed to be the insides

[lone bloom]

obv not

[crystal sleet]

The fact that the interior is so bloody clear past the blur is insane

[fallow wharf]

You have like 3-4 clean frames to look inside

[round zodiac]

pixel measurments and frame stepping like lunatics

i love it here

[fallow wharf]

They known for perspectives

[tawny fern]

[lone bloom]

can even see the airlock/docking collar through the window

lmao

[crystal sleet]

ALSO, the colour scheme of the interior seems to suggest a bright theme, like the zeus interior

[lone bloom]

but its red

the walls have red stuff on it

[foggy silo]

better than polaris

[fallow wharf]

They know our cult is made of crazy people who study every pixel they provide us

[lone bloom]

and the catwalk is red too

[fallow wharf]

Hell we even do our own pixels

[round zodiac]

we spent a week on an elevator shaft

[fallow wharf]

This

[crystal sleet]

I think the red is from emissive lighting on the inside

[round zodiac]

measuring angles and determinig camera fuckery compared to the Polaris

[lone bloom]

its clearly red texture

at least the catwalk

[crystal sleet]

Lighting reflection, im calling it

Cant wait for the leaks of the perseus to come out soon

[coarse cloud]

yayyy

[crystal sleet]

Get full walk through, confirm what we know and show us what we never could see in the conce0ts

Also @lone bloom It seems like that theory crafting on pdc placement was pretty much dewd on

[lone bloom]

it is absolutely red texture

give me a second
