Perseus Pals

[lone bloom]

They very clearly look to me like the pdcs any other ship have

Also you forget the vanduul mauler

And the battle cruiser

[nocturne raft]

its a metal tube attached to a box. doesnt mean the inside of it isnt ballistic

[fluid plume]

Hopefully that butt turret isn’t a missile pdc

[nocturne raft]

since they said we'll be seeing a new type of pdc soon last month, ive been working under the impression they meant on the perseus
but we`ll see as its not been confirmed one way or the other

[lone bloom]

Poolaris all over again

[fluid plume]

Pls just take Poolaris designers out to the pasture and do the do

[lone bloom]

I mean cig says soon about many things

Basebuilding and crafting for example

[fluid plume]

Soon in cig terms means 2 years out…….. 2 years out from the 2 years out post

[lone bloom]

Or sq42... every few years

[nocturne raft]

i need to remember the answer is usually a meme answer

[lone bloom]

Always been

[humble anvil]

Perseus M Kit

Incoming

[lone bloom]

I mean not just for cig

Like, even every time i asked my dad

"Yeah soon"

Fucking hours or days later

[humble anvil]

Change the ballistic gatlings to Railguns if bladed

'dodge this u filthy casual '

[lone bloom]

Soon is a timeframe between now and heatdeath of the universe

[humble anvil]

Because while PDCs are annoying lights n they think they're safe

BAM sniped by railgun

Unless it's tracking is really... really really bad

[lone bloom]

Arent there actually railguns for that size?

[humble anvil]

S3?

Ya

[lone bloom]

Lmao

[humble anvil]

I think that's where it caps

S3

[lone bloom]

And now with the aimbot of blades

[fluid plume]

Perseus M kit? What about a Polaris M kit

[humble anvil]

Unless we get beam

Beam PDC n beam weapons

[lone bloom]

Polaris M kit is called "M stands for melt that shit"

[fluid plume]

Lmao

[humble anvil]

Polaris M be like

S8 nose turret

Oh yes ty for power creeping Perseus Chris

[lone bloom]

Just noticed today with wave 3 of the event Mission how fucking dogshit the polaris is

Fps wise and combat wise

[fluid plume]

Always has been

[lone bloom]

15-30 fps experience for hours

Including crashes

Simply because there were like 4 polarises including the hostile one

[fluid plume]

But there was a time Poolaris had some beef and color

[lone bloom]

Want to know a secret

I hated it already before its release

But yes the concept were in some artworks better

But that applies to percy now too

[nocturne raft]

i dont like how its just a brick of hp right now, although i understand gameplay isnt finished.
but i do like the polaris. its just impractical for me to own 1

[fluid plume]

Yea but at least Perseus has some beef, but 100% it’s gonna a fall into Poolaris exterior trap, here’s gray with a colored line

[lone bloom]

Its more a thing of

Majority of people use it wrong

Lol

[nocturne raft]

stupid gonna stupid. although i get why they do. the system allows them to use it the way they do for the moment

if this was eve and we were just solo pilots that were the ship, id totally get 1. but doesnt work like that

[lone bloom]

Until it doesnt and then they do a suprised pikachu face

And the until it doesnt ... is pretty much assoon it Engages in pvp

[nocturne raft]

if anything, and this is gonna sound incredibly harsh, the entire project is an exercise of reservation.
people buy ships on how they work now, instead of realizing the final version of the game for 1.0 will be a very different world to how it is now

theres gonna be so much bitching and melting for all sorts of ships in the future

not even just capital ships

[lone bloom]

I mean with engineering we will likely see a big melt of light fighters

[nocturne raft]

probably see a melt of everything

some people just dont want engineering even on small ships

[lone bloom]

Bad for them

Since engineering will be on all ships

The only difference is the accessability to it

You in a Single seat fighter? And your cooler is damaged? Well good luck

For fighters without direct internal access damage means retreat or go for valhalla

[nocturne raft]

"why should i have to retreat out of a fight. i paid money for this ship!!1!"

[lone bloom]

If people wont like maintaining their ship

They will be "soon" (see what i did there) in for a very bad time

Or have to accept that combat in sc is maybe not for them

[fluid plume]

I mean when the beta drops in 2040 maybe we’ll have ai blades and npc crews, then we gonna see a lot of solo large to cap ships

[lone bloom]

Blades not gonna fix your components or care about fire

And 50/50 ai crew will

Also the fuck you mean "then we gonna see Lots of them"

I just saw hordes of solo idrises at the event

[fluid plume]

Hey what’s gonna win 1 javelin filled with 80 players vs 80 solo javelins with the quad size 9 ai bladed/npc

[lone bloom]

The server

Because it will catch fire

[nocturne raft]

[lone bloom]

Also the costs of Operating just one javelin with 50% ai crew

[raven jetty]

Speaking of operating costs...

There's now even more ballistics on the Percy.

[lone bloom]

Ballistic ammo is cheap

Lol

[raven jetty]

I am incredibly curious what a full restock fee is going to be, including torps.

[fluid plume]

Can’t wait to watch Perseus get a T-kit so Poolaris can be robbed again lol

[lone bloom]

S5 torps are also fairly cheap

Only to switch them is expensive

But restocking cheap

[fluid plume]

Also insurance fraud goes brrrt which once fixed will be another massive L for Poolaris lol

[lone bloom]

Considering its only 3k or 4k per torp

Dunno if its worth for insurance fraud

Unless you shoot them all and go offline either way

(Ofc speaking of perseus torps not the polaris ones which cost as much as entire Ships )

[fluid plume]

I do wished they made the bottom nose turret retract into the hull, so when not deployed it can keep that smooth bottom

[nocturne raft]

if its the same as the concept, it has a rail on it like the paladin turret

[fluid plume]

the turret under the nose wasnt in the concept

[nocturne raft]

oh i thought u meant the bottom main turret

[round zodiac]

An hour without a message on a day like today?

[nocturne raft]

think every1s spent after all the excitement

[round zodiac]

Made a Marsh of our own

[tawny fern]

@nocturne raft i havent played eve in like

10 years or something

have they added any new combat music

im looking through all the old stuff and it SOUNDS very old

[nocturne raft]

its been a bit since i played so i dno

theyve used the same music for a very long time

[tawny fern]

yeah lol

[nocturne raft]

i downloaded a torrent of all of it in like 2008 or something and i still have it all

including the 2008 realx life performance

[tawny fern]

huh i cant post this link

meox com

musiccoldstorage

oh last updated 2016 lol

a lot of the combat music is really sick

especially caldari rock

cig needs to make something like HTFU

[nocturne raft]

yeh they did a lot of good 2000s industrial techno type stuff

[tawny fern]

Imagine cig creates a nightclub with sick beats playing on loop

In like area 18 or something

[nocturne raft]

landing zone specific themed music?
could be awesome

[tawny fern]

There’ve been some pretty good tracks every now and then in star citizen, but nothing really impressive

Besides that WTF track

Who’s pedro?

[nocturne raft]

https://starcitizen.tools/Pedro_Macedo_Camacho

[lunar inlet]

anyone wanna hazard a guess as to when CIG will drop percy in ptu?

[nocturne raft]

they might not

polaris was in evo last year then got removed before public ptu. so its not guaranteed to be on ptu

[lunar inlet]

they did for the polaris. hard to believe they won't for the percy

[lunar inlet]

definitely wasn't removed b/c I had access to it

man i cannot wait to fly the perseus around in space

im so FREAKING hyped

[shadow oasis]

The bottom S8 is also tucked in when in quantum? Its not there in the GIF above

[nocturne raft]

U can see it in the entering atmo gif. It's facing backwards

[tawny fern]

i decided to man an idris turret for the event

this is really really cool

the turret actually spins around at a decent speed

[azure fulcrum]

perseus turret speed is going to be fine, more than fine

[tawny fern]

this is so cool lol

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1121113616926638131/1436144140890148904/Javelin_Guns.gif

[jolly acorn]

Video with sound

[humble anvil]

Praise be

[coarse cloud]

real

Perseus K kit when?

https://tenor.com/view/fat-cat-laser-eyes-angry-cat-cyclops-nara-gif-26030753

[foggy silo]

thx ! but the video feel a bit zoomed in

[jolly acorn]

Blame twt, thats where i ripped it from

[jolly acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/lasers-concert-lights-gif-5102526

IAE2956 with the k kit release

[azure fulcrum]

Notice its only the Perseus having the bright QT flash and not the other ships

very interesting

[jolly acorn]

Probably just in engine magic

/ edited in post

[jolly acorn]

Tho the polaris also had it

Tho Maybe its a new QT effect with 4.4 idk

[timid wind]

what size guns are these

[tawny fern]

s7 ballistics

6750 alpha lol

[jolly acorn]

Yowch

Thatll hurt

[heady escarp]

look how beautiful perseus is:

I can see 4 pdc size 1 or 2 from here

[jolly acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/kingwoolz-king-woolz-streamer-twitch-gif-17060729316474071354

The humble reclaimer

[steel sparrow]

why is it soo bright anyway for the reclaimer??? XDDD

[jolly acorn]

So the prey can see the predator approach before its demise

[heady escarp]

just came out from the factory unlike the reclaimers they sell to players which are 100% used

[jolly acorn]

Skid marks are pre installed

[steel sparrow]

fr

some dev definitely finished alien before creating that ship

[lone bloom]

Does a reclaimer come with it on Board?

[steel sparrow]

maybe ?

somewhere in the vent there's an egg

waiting for the perfect moment to release the face hugger:/

how would the UEE fair against a xenomorph tho?

[lone bloom]

Closing any system where it started and blasting any ship that tries to escape

[timid wind]

seeing the perseus looks somewhat different than the concept, i wonder how its paints will look on it

specifically the thundercloud one

i also hope they drop some more paints for it on release

[lone bloom]

I mean there is a thundercloud paint on the idris

Its a generic normal paint

[lone bloom]

Every ship so far got paints on release for 3 years or somethin, you can expect like 4 up to 6 paints likely at release

Big boomer would be if the coming nyx event stuff will have perseus skin as reward

[timid wind]

sure but im more wondering what they come up with for the percy

usually they are just generic paints that somewhat reflect the role of the ship

[lone bloom]

My bet still a shark paint

[timid wind]

like medical ships get paints with stripes that look like modern ambulances

[lone bloom]

With shark mouth on the Front like idris

Afterall shark was the original Inspiration of the perseus

[timid wind]

and the starlancers got those very trucker looking paints with the stripe

a light gray one would be cool phaps

like an irl warship

[lone bloom]

Yk what also wouldve been great

[timid wind]

since the percy is a good old fashioned gunboat

[lone bloom]

Its concept paint it was sold with

[timid wind]

me shutting up?

[lone bloom]

[timid wind]

what was that

[lone bloom]

The blue navy paint

Which they scrapped

Aka on All the concept artworks

[timid wind]

thats just gray no?

[lone bloom]

Its navy blue

[timid wind]

are my eyes deceiving me

[lone bloom]

Appeared on multiple concept artworks

So it aint the lighting

There is even a spectrum thread about why they changed it

[fluid plume]

Sorry bud but Perseus is gonna fall into the Poolaris trap get ready for standard gray with a colored line lol

[lone bloom]

Thats what i assumed gonna happen after the first sneak peak

[timid wind]

but in the recent video it looked almost black ish

[lone bloom]

Its poolaris grey

[timid wind]

but in that one picture it was more green ish

[lone bloom]

The only hope is that it does not get the same shit paints to buy

Aka paints that do barely change the grey tone

[fluid plume]

I think the problem is that cig over did the paneling of both and is the reason why neither got their concept colors cause it would have looked ugly on the overdone exterior, so straight gray it is

[lone bloom]

I mean

[timid wind]

i think the paneling looks good

[lone bloom]

One polaris skin gets close to the concept colors

The wiketroll paint

[timid wind]

it looks armoured like its supposed to be

the turrets look great too

[lone bloom]

Should still taint the turret glass tho

Looks better

[timid wind]

all the other ones are these weird blobs with guns on them but the percy main turrets look like they were actually designed for it instead of just slapping it on there

[lone bloom]

Perseus is also so far one of the only two ships that have visual on the turret from the bridge

Which is quite important for a battleship...

Because in polaris or hammerhead you dont See shit were your turret gunners are Aiming at or if you need to rotate or not

[timid wind]

meanwhile the bottom turreteer:

[lone bloom]

A sacrifice we have to take

Nobody likes bottom turrets either way

[timid wind]

anyways

[jolly acorn]

I love that navy blue

[timid wind]

the view from the cockpit is gonna be siiick

i hope they added some small effect that you feel in the cockpit when the main gun fires

since its so close

like a little vibration

to feel the oomph

because tbf i will spend most of my time in the cockpit

and not in the turrets

lol

[jolly acorn]

That would be nice, and some smoke when the engines cool down after landing (that aint gonna happen for a longggg time)

[lone bloom]

its a darker tone than the concepts i meant, but yes

[timid wind]

thundercloud tho

[timid wind]

the more i look at it the more i like it

[lone bloom]

120€

prob more after that video

[timid wind]

but i need to see it in game before i buy it for 100$

or if there is something similar dropping on release

then ill get that instead

[lone bloom]

we know how it looks ingame tho

Idris has the same paint just under different name

So if you don't like how that one looks like

you won't like the thundercloud on percy either

[timid wind]

i believe paints have a different look on different ships

[lone bloom]

[timid wind]

the bridge deck is supposed to be black on the percy

[lone bloom]

infact its grey

[timid wind]

as you can see

[lone bloom]

and you know CIG is unable to make black

[timid wind]

well either way its a different color

that idris is just camo everywhere

so ofc it looks bland

[lone bloom]

even in the video

the bridge has the same basic grey as the rest of the ship

[timid wind]

sure but that dont mean the paints gonna be the same

thats why i need to see it

idek

i dont hate the pattern it just looks bland on the idris because it covers the whole boat

it might look better with the grey top on the percy

we shall see

[lone bloom]

Would be funny if it turns out shit ingame

and people paid hundreds of bucks for it

and you just gonna see mass panic sells on GM

[timid wind]

lol

that would make us feel goood

but then again if its good everyone is gonna be rocking it

[lone bloom]

well not everyone

those who bought it xD since you won't be able to buy it anymore other than on GM

[timid wind]

but if its good people will buy it

[lone bloom]

and the price will increase even more

there are just limited paints of it

unless they decide its a too generic paint and sell it again at IAE for 20 bucks THAT would be funny

[steel sparrow]

I hope they would tune down the flares of the main cannon

Just went to a random citizen’s s7 on the idris

[humble anvil]

Thundercloud gonna look like ass

[steel sparrow]

I feel like there’s someone throwing flashbangs at me every time I shoot

[lone bloom]

Awaiting the mass panic sells on GM i will

https://tenor.com/view/bad-teacher-i-am-bad-teacher-yoda-bad-teacher-i-am-yoda-gif-26003735

[humble anvil]

It's a generic $20 paint

Like

Big whoop

[lone bloom]

i mean

they sold it as generic 20€ paint

its not even worth 20€

compared to Hammerhead paints which are sold for less

like - BOTH hammerhead paints are better

[humble anvil]

This is a better paint

We'll probably get something crazy too

Like a digital black

Stuffed in with the Perseus kit bundle

Not to mention possible metropolis paint attributed to all accounts

With Perseus

[steel sparrow]

Chat do we think we will get a alternative weapons pack for Percy?

[humble anvil]

Yes

[lone bloom]

They even teased it

so very likely

and they had more than enough time to do so

[steel sparrow]

Like this IAE?💸

[lone bloom]

Maybe- maybe not

[steel sparrow]

[humble anvil]

Dude

It's almost guaranteed we're getting beam Perseus

[lone bloom]

Technically they had enough time, but they could also wait out how the Perseus performs in player hands

before putting in kits

[humble anvil]

They said

[lone bloom]

I mean, we all know it is a fucking power house of guns

AND armored

[humble anvil]

Almost like kits at this years iae

Subtle foreshadowing

[steel sparrow]

Makes it Wekitroll*

[lone bloom]

gonna blast his asteroid

[timid wind]

digital black would be fire

but as ravit said, cig cant make black

apparently

[lone bloom]

we have exactly two ships in SC that have actual black paint

the others are grey

so yes, CIG iis unable to make plain black

(The two ships with actual black paint are btw Herkules cerberus paint and Razor base paint)

[timid wind]

how about digital gray

like a urban digital

camo

that would be cool

[lone bloom]

how bout

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-dark-kermit-gif-13921433

[timid wind]

oh hell nah

[timid wind]

i dont liek it 🙁

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/space-marine-you-speak-heresy-warhammer-40k-what-did-you-say-don't-say-that-gif-3570587536222968742

[fluid plume]

gray with colored line, what a classic

[lone bloom]

Better than the most things we get

xD

[timid wind]

theres a green camo one for the idris

i wouldnt mind having that one percy

i think its called commando or something like that

this one - with a gray top deck

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

[steel sparrow]

🫃

[timid wind]

looking at this daily until percy release

side profile very cool too

and nice ass

[humble anvil]

Thank God you secured the price

Because that m*********** is going to the moon

[timid wind]

well i cant go higher than rsi price can it lol

but yeah had to lock it down

[humble anvil]

You did the smart thing by locking in the price

[timid wind]

ill probably finish the chain on monday

bc monday's payday

[humble anvil]

I reckon the ship will be 875

[timid wind]

mine will be probably around the 400 mark

[humble anvil]

Good price for it

[timid wind]

not the cheapest but still pretty good

i could just buy the ironclad assault from the gm

a ccu'd one is about 300-350

and i already have the rest in WBCCU's

or then i could fiddle with more ccu's

problem is im not seeing any more meaningful savings with buying more ccus

so for the sake of simpleness im leaning more towards just buying the ironclad assault and using the ccus i have already on that

[azure fulcrum]

The exterior got upgraded to put it mildly

Imagine what they did to the interior and the components huehue

[humble anvil]

Capital Bespoke Shield I'm calling it

44 size 3 shield

Or

[lone bloom]

the fact that it got so many additional guns will rise the price to the moon

[azure fulcrum]

They have no idea of whats coming next its gonna trigger a lot of carebear

[humble anvil]

It's a military ship

[azure fulcrum]

And percius hator lol

Its the tip of the spear

Most feared warship in the galaxy

[humble anvil]

Lol this ship is brutal for the present and future

[azure fulcrum]

The day of reckoning is at hand

[humble anvil]

I'm still calling it quad barrel and bespoke capital Field

Shield

$900 ship

This is CIG's chance capture

Lots of money

It's going to need a bespoke shield

Because all the new stuff is too much power drain

They can't do squat size 3

[azure fulcrum]

People are gonna feel real silly having pledged their entire account for civilian ships like drake garbage when they witness the power of the perseus

[humble anvil]

Brother Percy's might be a military ship

What's going to be such a versatile ship

It's going to be

Everyone's going to be flying on

And if this f***** has three remote turret

Oh my God

[midnight crypt]

Perseus going to be moving max 62m/s

[humble anvil]

Watch it have interceptor tuning so it has fast as f*** forward g thrusters

But it can't turn for s***

I don't think we are ready for the engine and Canon ASMR

Bean PDC Perseus here we come

Beam

Like sure it might come default equipped with laser PDC but that bean kit is going to be crazy

[fallow wharf]

Any news since video release that I missed?

[timid wind]

none afaik

just waiting for it to hit ptu

if it even will

[humble anvil]

@lone bloom Both remote turrets slaved forward

[lone bloom]

is that a fact, a question or your copium

[coarse cloud]

pilot slaves?

Holy shit

that came out wrong

[lone bloom]

[foggy beacon]

speaking of PDC

[lone bloom]

who said anything about pdc

[foggy beacon]

pepperbox and Swarm are sold in levski shop

[coarse cloud]

ooh

[lone bloom]

yeah not gonna switch them to missile pods

limited ammo

no defence against missile or torps

not worth it

[foggy beacon]

probably switching to swarm

so don't have to worry about ammo

[coarse cloud]

wait someone explain the PDC types please 🙏

[lone bloom]

what is swarm pdc?

sounds like rattler mini rockets

[foggy beacon]

polaris, 890, idris, those default laser ones

[lone bloom]

so...

like the perseus has?

[humble anvil]

It's likely a fact. Look at all big multi crew ships with remote turrets when unoperated

[foggy beacon]

Perseus seems to have a ballistic one

[coarse cloud]

What are they called

[humble anvil]

Slave to pilot

[foggy beacon]

laser are called Swarm

[humble anvil]

M2, a2, paladin

[coarse cloud]

yes I want pilot slaves

[foggy beacon]

missile are called Pepperbox

the one on Perseus looks different from either

might be ballistic

[lone bloom]

I guess

how much are they?

few K?

[foggy beacon]

swarm are 15k

pepperbox 20

[lone bloom]

per ?

1?

[foggy beacon]

per

yes

[lone bloom]

i mean its only 4x15

[foggy beacon]

they're like a mini auto turret

[lone bloom]

so

the most expensive will be still switching out the torpedos

[foggy beacon]

yeah

[lone bloom]

still funny that actively changing them is significantly more expensive

than restocking them

[foggy beacon]

idk if they tweaked price, but the s10 bomb from A2 are 650k at levski

[lone bloom]

i think one s5 torp was 16K if you buy it as one piece and not restock it

restock is only 3-4K per torp

[humble anvil]

@coarse cloud supposed to be bladed by default

[steel thistle]

buff percy

[humble anvil]

I think they'll be slaved forward unless otherwise ai blades ready

As a compromise

[lone bloom]

28K nvm

at least its directly available at orison

[coarse cloud]

All of the dual s3!?

[humble anvil]

Yes. Remotes

[lone bloom]

cope or again fact

we don't have blades yet

[humble anvil]

It's a trend

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

With big military ships

[lone bloom]

so its cope

[coarse cloud]

Let’s go

[humble anvil]

Polaris is manned

Not cope

[coarse cloud]

ssshhhh

[lone bloom]

you speaking of the remote turrets no?

no other ship so far has them bladed

so with the current costs if you wanna switch the torps to EM and switch the PDC to laser

626.900 AUEC

in total

does not include components

[timid wind]

how would one go about changing the torps on the percy

[lone bloom]

how not

vehicle manager lol

[timid wind]

do i buy one, select it and then restock via mobiglass

[lone bloom]

infact

[timid wind]

to fill the 20

[lone bloom]

you buy 20

[timid wind]

well damn

[lone bloom]

you buy 20, take out all the current torpedos, fill in the new ones

dunno if it works manually, i would not risk it

[timid wind]

i heard someone say that the stock ones are cross section tracking but there were some better em tracking ones

[lone bloom]

if you even wanna make sure, you store percy, take the torps out

unstore it, check if they are actually gone

store it again, put the new ones in, and then retrieve it again checking if all 20 are in or not

[lone bloom]

Cross section is shit

EM is the best because they can't be flared

and also work on fighters

[timid wind]

what were the 2 types of countermeasures again

noisemaker and decoy?

which is which

[lone bloom]

Noise and flare/decoy

Em is unaffected by both

[steel thistle]

omg is it in the ptu yet

[timid wind]

god no

[lone bloom]

if it would be that chat here would be flooded with screens you know that

[timid wind]

wait at least 10 days and thats optimistic

[steel thistle]

idk what day it is

[lone bloom]

Friday

[timid wind]

iae is in 13 days thats when it will be live

so RC is maybe 11 days away

actually i dont know im just talking out of my ass

[lone bloom]

But either way- EM follows the Electromagnetic Emission of a ship, flares only avoid Cross section missiles and heat seeking ones, Noise COULD dodge EM but rarely do so

If a EM missile is locked onto you you can barely dodge it, and know how to do so, with any larger ship its pretty much impossible

[timid wind]

ok so switch to EM asap

[lone bloom]

I mean I used the eclipse ALOT for ERT missions and also PvP

with EM torpedos

1 out of 20 misses

even in PvP

even if the enemy is a gladius

You can only avoid it by deploying decoyies(?) in the very last second and actively have to dodge it

and that only works with agile ships

May reminding you aswell - 2 S5 Torpedos are enough to kill a connie

1 is enough to disable it likely

[jolly acorn]

And we got 20 of em

[timid wind]

that's 20 connies disabled

i like em vulnerable

[humble anvil]

Guys

What if they off the torpedo count to 40

Up

[nocturne raft]

What if they lowered it

[humble anvil]

We're so f*****

Xddddd

[jolly acorn]

Doubt it

[humble anvil]

people really spending 100$ for a thundercloud paint

[lone bloom]

didn't the price increase so far?

[reef wind]

Spending $100 for a skin is crazy

[lone bloom]

Cries in CSGO

[nocturne raft]

i remembered last night, i will be able to join in the perseus fun day 1. cos itll be rentable

[reef wind]

I thank god every day I didn't play it

[lone bloom]

me neither

xD

[lone bloom]

day 2 technically

[nocturne raft]

it starts on the 20th, itll be rentable when it launches. why day 2

[lone bloom]

because the patch releases 19th

Patch always goes 1 day live prior

[nocturne raft]

the patch release is irrelevant
also i dont see them releasing 4.4 a day before iae

[lone bloom]

it isn't because it also releases the ship with it, aka plenge owners have access to the ship with release of the patch

which is, at the 19th

[nocturne raft]

no?
they get the ships when they release on their appropriate day

[lone bloom]

No.

Never been like that

You were not there last IAE?

Very first day whole NB was scattered with polarises

and it was not RSI day

But I guess we will see at the 19th

[humble anvil]

why would they do it backwards this iae

[timid wind]

im thinking percy will be out on the ptu RC or near RC like a few days before live at the earliest

[humble anvil]

not allow early access

they did it with the tac at ILW

[celest kite]

I’m just waiting for our glorious Perseus Flight ready video like they did with the Polaris when it launched. I just hope to hear those big Medusa S8 cannons ripping apart ships

[jolly acorn]

I pray to the sound team they go with BEEFY sounds for this

I liked what they did to the paladin, just crank it up by 7 and we’re good

Tho… i do miss when every ships fly by had its own unique sound rather then the stock whine we have now

yea, i couldnt do live wallpaper, but could do live lockscreen

[lone bloom]

the battle of beams

[timid wind]

the amount of idrises is disgusting

there's like 5 grand in that picture

[tawny fern]

4 idris's

[timid wind]

why so many have idris

its too much

[crystal sleet]

for 4 idris's, you could get around 7 Perseus

[timid wind]

a much better investment

[crystal sleet]

instead of waiting for a single ship to reclaim, you can take out 7 ships in series while waiting for reclaim

[azure fulcrum]

the beady eye

chicken leg

it remind me of bird more than a piranha lol

https://tenor.com/view/bird-birds-birt-scrimtch-scratch-gif-23625839

[fallow wharf]

Just loot your own ship and then claim it and fill up more torps into the claimed one

[humble anvil]

:))))))

Thats right

[timid wind]

how long will percy's claim time be

[fallow wharf]

Lower than Polaris I recon

[timid wind]

1hr give or take? 30min expedited?

[crystal sleet]

whatever the Hammerehads RT is

[timid wind]

or 45min > 20min?

[fallow wharf]

11min maybe paid off

[timid wind]

ooh very fast

[fallow wharf]

Polaris is 19min or so

[crystal sleet]

so the HH RT is 48 mins, 16 expidited. Based on that, i assume the Perseus will be 58 mins, 10 mins more

[lone bloom]

imagine how good that mission would've been with Percy

[timid wind]

our percy pal flotilla will decimate a polaris in under a minute

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/medalusa-space-battleship-yamato-2202-kerberos-gatlantis-gif-3763220836122737566

[lone bloom]

I would say if HH is 48 and 16 expidited, that Percy is 53 min with 11 min expidited

afterall they are still the same ship size and "class"

[timid wind]

now how much will it cost to expedite

[crystal sleet]

but the Perseus is a lot more armed and the same size as the Hammerhead

[lone bloom]

well yes but absolutely not gonna be more than a Polaris

at the very max i would say 15 min expedite

[crystal sleet]

oh fuck yeah, polaris RT is 1 hr and 15

[azure fulcrum]

what would the expedite cost be lol

[crystal sleet]

polaris expedite cost is 44,030 auec

[azure fulcrum]

hammorhed 25k

[crystal sleet]

HH us 24,582

[azure fulcrum]

so percious maybe 35k

[crystal sleet]

so id say around 30k

[lone bloom]

30-35

[humble anvil]

PERSEUS COMPETITOR ?!!?!!! OH MY GASDFFfasdfs

its a joke

[azure fulcrum]

ehhh its drake so its gonna suck balls

[humble anvil]

i'd be pissed if they did that

[crystal sleet]

CLIPPER WITH S20 LASER BEAM

[azure fulcrum]

its gonna be a civilian cargo ship... lol

cuz drake needs more of those

[timid wind]

it would be a hecking cool cargo ship

but i think its just another explorer

or data runner

that shape would kinda fit a data runner

[azure fulcrum]

yeah CIG release more ship without gameplay sounds about right

[lone bloom]

Bespite them saying they don't wanna do it anymore

[midnight crypt]

But won’t release Zeus MR >o>

[azure fulcrum]

I dont think it uses the prisoner pods of the MR but maybe there is a little hope?

and hawk, cutlass blue ehhh and whats the other one

[lone bloom]

"bounty hunting V2 soon" trust

[midnight crypt]

Mantis

[azure fulcrum]

if you can transport crypods you probably can put prison pods in your cargohold too lol

make perseus a slaver ship

[lone bloom]

at least they will get a nice last view (the 4 windows)

[midnight crypt]

Hull E

[azure fulcrum]

lol

[lone bloom]

mass meat transport

[azure fulcrum]

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0GxY74adqg-cryopod

here it says cryopods are used by bounty hunters and law enforcement

so its basically an upgraded prisoner pod

[tawny fern]

I’d just use it for medical beacons

[midnight crypt]

Can’t wait for a gray’s market bounty hunting ship with every pod gets a free shit bucket

[tawny fern]

Quick get in this pod, it’s for your own safety

And then off to the meat market 😎

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder if vanduul eat humans

[midnight crypt]

Power their ships. Should read about the harvester

[lone bloom]

my bet is that they test the cyropods - but on the other hand its just a different kind of "SCU" thing, just a different model

[azure fulcrum]

niiice

[tawny fern]

wasnt the cutty blue supposed to have something like that built into the ship? holding cells or something

along with every other bounty hunting ship

[lone bloom]

it is inside of the blue

there are multiple cyropods hanging from the celling in the back

but cutty blue absolutely needs a full rework

[tawny fern]

so maybe nyx will actually give them a real function now

[azure fulcrum]

kinky

I made this for you

[tawny fern]

Updates to time to kill for ships and vehicles resulting in a noticeable increase in survivability during combat

🤯

[lone bloom]

Whatever that is supposed to mean

thought hard death ships is now bound to the reactor reaching critical state

apparantly that was a lie

[azure fulcrum]

I thick it are mean because of engineering a sip more survivable now

[lone bloom]

well obviously but what do they mean by upping the time to kill - like "in which way" do they up the time to kill

its meant for engineering, but engineering it was said hard deathing ships is by destroying the reactor

unless they increase the HP of components maybe?

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm yeah no clue

[tawny fern]

im watching all these IAE 2955 speculation videos

i am so so so glad this ship wont need a docking collar

Docking tunnel

Whatever its called

XL hangar

[lone bloom]

said who

[tawny fern]

It should be around the same size as the carrack right?

[lone bloom]

Carrack BARELY fits in a L hangar

like, its literally squeezing

don't understand why that thing doesn't have to dock

[tawny fern]

Lol i havent tried landing a carrack

[lone bloom]

If the turrets are extended it does not fit through the door

[tawny fern]

I think the carrack is the biggest ship that uses a L hangar

[lone bloom]

and percy isn't that far away from it

especially considering the fleetviewer perseus is too small

and the original concept already is larger

(by 5ish meters)

so we should either hope that the wings somehow go down when landing

or that the percy didn't got much wider

[tawny fern]

I just need a 2 week nap

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

having a mid life crisis

wanted to pick up ndbs, you know... actually play the game

3 orb runs, no ndb

i dont think i want to play anymore..

and buying from players is all duped

[azure fulcrum]

the wing definitely look like they will be able to retract

[humble anvil]

and i cant trust it because theres no way to tell

[minor field]

I refuse to play until perseus

[humble anvil]

lagski is fucking death trap full of griefers

the new grim hex

so im not really excited well ... for anything but the perseus

[azure fulcrum]

lagski looks fucking atrocious

its exactly the same as it was post 3.0

[lone bloom]

Even if Levski wouldn't be full of griefers and wouldn't lag

Nyx is JUST levski

NOTHING else

[azure fulcrum]

its the exact same layout same music maybe with minor differences

[crystal sleet]

Levski, if it is still as laggy as the PTU on live, might just be a tourist stop for me and my Perseus before going back to stanton lmao

[azure fulcrum]

the music is depressing it reminds me of the lag lol

[lone bloom]

absolutely what I'm gonna do

and buying the laser pdcs*

[azure fulcrum]

    December 23, 2017 - Alpha 3.0.0: Added.```

[crystal sleet]

oh, that and pick up the new guns too

[lone bloom]

so there are at least two reasons to go to levski, the pdcs, and just say "aahh wooow and bye"

[azure fulcrum]

we already had levski 7 years ago lol

and barely anything has changed

[lone bloom]

well most of us never been at the original levski

i mean ofc, it aint new, but for a quick stop to look around its fine for people who don't know it

[crystal sleet]

i joined the game some time after levski was removed

[lone bloom]

but besides that,, eh xd

[azure fulcrum]

thats kind of depressing how many people gave up on star citizen lol

[crystal sleet]

hopefully the lag will be sorted by the time instancing and the municiple works come around

[lone bloom]

its more a thing of that many new people came over the years

especially while corona

[crystal sleet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/92000849236066304/1436206137409146890/PerseusBattleReady.gif

[azure fulcrum]

percius wing 100% going to be retracable

[crystal sleet]

even more so since the Wolf ventral fin is retractable now

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1121113616926638131/1436047311871676437/eyxq6yu9ynzf1.gif

[tawny fern]

yeah im really surprised they did that

[azure fulcrum]

thye made wolf fin retractable just now?

[crystal sleet]

hopefully its toggled by the wing configuration toggle key

[tawny fern]

oh that would be fantastic

[azure fulcrum]

they did promise us after release

[crystal sleet]

yup, in PTU, as well as add all the engineering stuff like component access

[azure fulcrum]

I'd be fine if it automatically retracts when you leave atmosphere and go into space lol

[azure fulcrum]

wow even component access that I did not expect

[crystal sleet]

ooohh thatd be pretty cool, but imagine if you could take advantage of the unstable flight charateristics of a finless wolf in atmosphere

suddenly do shit like the cobra manoever

[azure fulcrum]

hah yeah

[lone bloom]

wolf obviously never released in a finished state

[crystal sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/top-gun-su57-су57-топган-уклонение-gif-27622957

[lone bloom]

even missed component access

[lunar inlet]

Percy when?

[crystal sleet]

13 days

[lone bloom]

11 days from now

13 till IAE*

[azure fulcrum]

I know that

[lunar inlet]

Gib now cig

[lone bloom]

Still stand on the point that patch drops a day before

[azure fulcrum]

I'm just shocked they actually finished wolf just now a few months later

[crystal sleet]

id imagine they would drop a day before IAE, trouble shoot stuff if shit happens before the start

[lone bloom]

and not 5 years later?

xD

[crystal sleet]

probably got teh oppurtunity to do so with the Alpha Wolf

[azure fulcrum]

when they said smaller ships aren't a priority for component access and engineering

on SCL

that was their excuse for not finishing wolf lol

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that makes sense, I'm kinda interested in the alpha wolf l22 if its good I might upgrade gladius to it

[tawny fern]

L21 is definitely up there in the 1v1 fighter meta

[crystal sleet]

i wonder what weapons itll have, perhaps its a none bespoke version?

[tawny fern]

bespoke laser variant im guessing

[azure fulcrum]

its 100% going to stay bespoked

[tawny fern]

like ares

[crystal sleet]

or it has bespoke weapons but also additional 2 s1 hardpoints

[azure fulcrum]

the wolf weapons are retractable so they can only be bespoken for

[tawny fern]

yea

[crystal sleet]

laser gatling gun, the first of its kind

[lone bloom]

you forget that there were S4 laser weapons already datamined for the wolf tho

[tawny fern]

idk why they would call it the alpha wolf though, gives it the impression that its clearly better than the L21 lol

[azure fulcrum]

wait what where when?

[lone bloom]

a week ago or something

[azure fulcrum]

sheeeet

[crystal sleet]

were they gatlings?

[lone bloom]

Repeater

[crystal sleet]

aww

wasted oppurtunity

[lone bloom]

i mean repeater are the laser gatlings...

its just a different name kinda xd

Alpha Wolf is likely a medium fighter

[azure fulcrum]

I kinda hope the exterior is a lot different than regular wolf

[tawny fern]

o yea maybe

a bigger wolf

ALPHA wolf

[azure fulcrum]

yeah make it bigger

[lone bloom]

I assume its a upsized scrapped concept with 2 S4

[azure fulcrum]

do a guardian MX on the wolf basically

give it 4xs4 laser repeater

[crystal sleet]

repeaters are pinpoint relatively though, give us a laser weapon that saturates a large cone with laser bolts, each shot being weaker than repeaters but has insane ammo capacitors

would be great for anti infantry

[tawny fern]

like the scattergun?

[crystal sleet]

full auto scatter gun

also scatter gun has atrocious range

[azure fulcrum]

scatter guns are completely useless I tried them with the asgard lol

[tawny fern]

i tried using the scattergun on the razor in hathor, god its so bad

[azure fulcrum]

I tried all weapons on asgard

[lone bloom]

Scatter guns used to be very good tho

like - pve meta good

[azure fulcrum]

there used to be a time CIG actually cared about stats

like 7 years ago

[lone bloom]

I don't think they care about stats rn before Engineering

especially now

[azure fulcrum]

yeah

[crystal sleet]

also manufacturer unique characteristics like overheat damage boost

[lone bloom]

since engineering and later on armor will absolutely throw all stats around and across the whole system

[azure fulcrum]

the windows on perseus cargo bay are so weird

does anyone think it looks strange and out of place?

I wonder why the windows even are on there

[crystal sleet]

kinda? I can see where youre coming from, makes it look the sides are disconnected

[azure fulcrum]

yeah you can see right through the perseus

[crystal sleet]

probably they saw all teh complaints on the polaris having no windows at all

[azure fulcrum]

this ironclad tier heavily armored ship

CR likened it to the ironclad

[crystal sleet]

even the ironclad had little windows, i suppose where teh perseus has its windows is protected and covered enough

[lone bloom]

i still think it should like the turret windows be tinted

[azure fulcrum]

you can see right through the percius lol

[lone bloom]

otherwise its just a very strong eyecatcher and out of place

[crystal sleet]

welp, atleast the perseus wont feel too claustrophobic

[azure fulcrum]

I guess but its a cargobay not like a habitation where you actually spent time

[crystal sleet]

get the Voices™ while in the void? Go to the cargo bay

[azure fulcrum]

could be a window

[crystal sleet]

theyre gonna say its to "extend the space out to make the space feel bigger than it is", like what Morphologist would describe some windows

[azure fulcrum]

yes 100% a window to the side of the bridge

[crystal sleet]

ooh, light

[humble anvil]

oh shiiiiit

good eye

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD CATCH!!!!

[azure fulcrum]

thats nice

[crystal sleet]

inb4 its the lighting engine bugging for a second lol

[azure fulcrum]

same shape

there's actually 2 windows on each side of the bridge

[crystal sleet]

i know, but imagine it isnt a window and just he lighting bugging out

[azure fulcrum]

the light bleeding through confirms it

[humble anvil]

Heavily Armored btw

Meanwhile it has fucking WINDOWS

[azure fulcrum]

windows everywhere and huge ones

[crystal sleet]

also, if that is a window, that means any potential boarders will easily be able to plan their boarding just by looking in

[humble anvil]

I think Chris had his fingers in this

[azure fulcrum]

yeah theres an airlock right next to it

[humble anvil]

Chris was like; 'yeah but i cant see space.. its not cinematic enough'

[crystal sleet]

Chris mightve daydreamed a little too hard with the windows lol

[azure fulcrum]

you can see the interior lol

[crystal sleet]

anyways, it should be taken into consideration that if the boarder has gotten close enough to look INTO your windows, youre already dead

[crystal sleet]

just self destruct and take out as many enemies as you can

[azure fulcrum]

weird haven't spotted the 2nd window

interesting so only one side has the airlock

[lone bloom]

said that aswell as they released that sneakpeak but wasn't sure if those are just decorative panels on the side, or actual windows (stardestroyer like)

but wasn't able to spot a real thing that would confirm them as windows in the video either

[azure fulcrum]

could've been decorative panels from sneakpeak but now it's pretty obvious from the video

the lighting is glitching out so hard to see the windows in the other shots

weird ass view from the inside

I'm running the video frame by frame now lol

[lone bloom]

already did that

[azure fulcrum]

I didn't

[azure fulcrum]

spooky

[crystal sleet]

SEARCH BAR IN ASOP

[lone bloom]

after all those years... lmao

[azure fulcrum]

probably already been pointed out but the button next to the door

[crystal sleet]

just another 12 years to be able to rename out ships in teh asop terminal

[crystal sleet]

a button on the starboard side of the cargo bay???

[azure fulcrum]

yes

[crystal sleet]

they actually made it symmetrical

[azure fulcrum]

unless I'm tripping lol but it sure looks like it

for EVA access IDK

[crystal sleet]

cant explain the neon blue stip, but that dim greyish blue square is EXTREMELY similar to RSI door buttons

it might actually be a button as it has similar dimensions to an RSI door button (its stretched due to the frames overlapping of course)

gotta edit it to cut two frames and overlap them with extra overlap

the only sketchy part of that is the position of the button. It looks like its more on the side of the spike than near the door

either its just the side door button that they put there for simplicity, OR the button actually opens up the spike to a refuel port

[azure fulcrum]

can't even see an outline or anything for the windows in this shot its so weird how the lightning glitches out

[crystal sleet]

OR OR, there is a small hole that opens up and connects the outside to th einside so you can easily transfer 1 and 2 scu boxes between the spaces

[crystal sleet]

so the idea that its just the lighting bugging out and lights bleeding through the mesh is stillon the table?

[azure fulcrum]

nonono we can definitely see the interior

[crystal sleet]

up yup

[azure fulcrum]

theres different shapes inside the window

[crystal sleet]

misjudged the scale

[azure fulcrum]

look theres no button panel on the other side

its just on the left protrusion

so it must be a button

I love how the pilot is far in front and center

maybe my imagination is running wild but that looks different than the sneakpeek

there's like a big screen or something in front of the remote turret seat

looks like a graphical glitch lol

ehhh this is how its supposed to look like

its just the glass MFD panel

its a glitch in my brain thats emberassing

comprehending shapes from a few frames in a 3d space is challenging xDDD

clear portrusion thats not on the right side of the door

ugh I wish I could spot the elevator access here

[lunar inlet]

Is ptu patch today dead?

[azure fulcrum]

the drops of water and sunlight in the face are ruining it

[azure fulcrum]

still no update on the new patch so I assume they are working overtime? or are the offices closed yet lol

I think its 1AM UK time soooo maybe

[humble anvil]

IDRIS WIKELO

[lunar inlet]

TX might still be working

[humble anvil]

xml spotted

[azure fulcrum]

no fucking way hahahaha

[humble anvil]

yup

its coming to wikelo

[azure fulcrum]

duuuuude

thats ridiculous

wiketrolled

[azure fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/joaquin-phoenix-joker-smile-sad-smirk-gif-4297924125041965470

[lone bloom]

I mean, it means more caps for us to shoot from the sky

[azure fulcrum]

polaris is insane amount of grind how many hours wouldn't an idris be to grind lmfao

[midnight crypt]

3 months from now, Perseus will be available from wikelo

[lone bloom]

yet people will go for it or simply pay all the required stuff together

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

i bet more like 5-6 months

and even then the grind would be still bullshit

Pretty sure it would need valakkar fangs, yormandi stuff and hathor stuff

[midnight crypt]

Actually yeah. They’ll give the Perseus one more sale with ILW then give it to wikelo

[lone bloom]

Assoon it includes Hathor the grind isn'T worth it in my view

no matter the ship

simply because it will get wiped

[azure fulcrum]

perseus become limited hull warbond only

and wikelo xDD

[lone bloom]

i don't think it will be limited

but the price will be disgusting

[azure fulcrum]

you bet your ass

[lone bloom]

Like, people have to ask themselfes the question if they don't wanna go for the polaris at that point

ofc for none of us that would be an acceptable choice

but some people will likely prefer to go with the pooplaris

[azure fulcrum]

hmph we will always have that option but I'll pass

[crystal sleet]

imagine using a head tracker in the Persus, almost a whole 270 degrees of view

[lone bloom]

I mean

[lone bloom]

Poolaris will always be a harder grind

than the perseus

But if you don't want a poolaris in the first place.... xD

[azure fulcrum]

thats pretty amazing view ngl

[crystal sleet]

perseus better for teh price anyways
