[midnight crypt]

Who needs a head tracker when eventually they’ll add VR support

[crystal sleet]

elite dangerous Fed Corv levels of view

[lone bloom]

if you consider how often people use 2-3 men crew ships compared to the Polaris, absolutely, more cost/time efficient is the polaris tho because longterm polaris will be more expensive to grind to

[lone bloom]

but since polaris is shit in the first place... xD

[azure fulcrum]

belly shot

[lone bloom]

still annoyed by the non tinted turret glass

[azure fulcrum]

staring at percurial pixels of percius belly

my headache grows worse

can't see shit

[lone bloom]

what are the two blue lines on the belly

[crystal sleet]

what blue linesa

oh the blue led streak?

[lone bloom]

no the ones behind

[azure fulcrum]

those are LED strips right in front of the remote chin

[lone bloom]

?

[crystal sleet]

ah i see the ones at the back, probs more led strips

[azure fulcrum]

oh those

plz what this rectangul?

[crystal sleet]

you know that fucky ass USB port the polaris has for the headlights?

[azure fulcrum]

no?

[crystal sleet]

[azure fulcrum]

gaming led USB port

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/protogen-1984-meme-blue-propaganda-gif-5272498739921059775

if you know you know

[azure fulcrum]

oh right USB port

usb C

[crystal sleet]

missed oppurtunity to give the remote turrets high powered spotlights for directional lighting

[lone bloom]

also

[crystal sleet]

[lone bloom]

Can I may note

the exterior freight elevators are smaller than expected

(those two things that are "attached" to the edge)

[crystal sleet]

i cant see it

i havent seen the external freights from a different anbgle before

[azure fulcrum]

wait these probably just be MAVs right?

[lone bloom]

thrusters

[azure fulcrum]

ohhhh torpedo slit

that's the torp slit

[crystal sleet]

bottom arros is thruster, top arrow is just vent

[azure fulcrum]

just a vent yeah

[crystal sleet]

aint no way theyre the EFEs

[lone bloom]

they are

[azure fulcrum]

I can't see the torp hole sad

[crystal sleet]

got a closer image?

[lone bloom]

they absolute are and working

[crystal sleet]

oh damn, the really puts into perpective how massive these stations asre

[fluid plume]

Tbh can we just a massive landing pad, bring back port olisar

[lone bloom]

still don't know how they gonna stop people from just stealing your stuff on them

[crystal sleet]

wait no

[lone bloom]

Levski

[crystal sleet]

Blue shape is torp hole, covered with a panel liek zeus and polaris

[lone bloom]

prob opening once fired

[azure fulcrum]

riiiiiight

[crystal sleet]

i hope we get torp launch effects where smoke plumes come out from the vent right above the torpedo tube like gas redirect vents

https://youtube.com/shorts/17xYRIvvwVg?si=vqI8MNAhlOzEGT2M

[lone bloom]

you expect too much from CIG

[crystal sleet]

good to dream, bad to overdose

[azure fulcrum]

missiles cum out of the black and white stripe panels?

[crystal sleet]

the circles for the zeus and polaris

[azure fulcrum]

ohh

[crystal sleet]

perseus is scquare and edgy

reusing last png but still relavent

[azure fulcrum]

polaris tube hatch is round circle?

[lone bloom]

yes

[crystal sleet]

yup

[azure fulcrum]

with black and white stripe lol

[crystal sleet]

where did you think the torps got launched from, just curious

on the polaris

[lone bloom]

Magic hole

[crystal sleet]

understandable

also

Wikelo Idris

[lone bloom]

Old news

Wiketroll takes everything again

[crystal sleet]

imagine if wikelo never gets the perseus

would be a win

[lone bloom]

Would make perseus significantly more accessable tho

[crystal sleet]

wait no, the wikelo polaris is actually pretty sick

so yes, let wikelo get the perseus

[lone bloom]

Also can we please note that the polaris idris and now percy were given to players with the lore background thaz the uee wanted the Civil Militia defence force to have somewhat larger ships to defend themselfes

Yet fucking wikelo has them? Exclusively?

[azure fulcrum]

make a spectrum thread about it XDD

[crystal sleet]

bro probably trades shit so much that he somehow manages to consistently get ships like that. Like Wikelo is doing the "trading up to an idris from a can of pips" type shit

[azure fulcrum]

its truly outragous

[lone bloom]

Yeah sure but he as them exclusivdly

Exclusively

No shop sells it

Which kinda goes against the lore no?

[crystal sleet]

probably just a placeholder for rep locked ship vendors

[azure fulcrum]

its a civil militia defense ship and shouldn't be available to any random space civilian

post 1.0 it will probably be a huge rep grind to get

[lone bloom]

They wanna make a full Story event why nyx only Releases with levski but at wikelo you think they draw the lore line that it does not need explenation?

[crystal sleet]

because Wikelo was always a meme

its like the goofy gacha shop in a super serious mmorpg

[lone bloom]

Percy locked behind weeks of foxwell missions

And only getting access to blueprint

[crystal sleet]

or a permanent april fools event shop

[crystal sleet]

would be great, maybe some rep with the UEEN on top of that too

[lone bloom]

And then having to rep Grind for the manufacture Hangar too

[crystal sleet]

"Yeah youve been quite good to us and we're fond of you. But the Perseus is a ship packed full of big hitters into a relatively small hull. Go and get friendly with the navy, then we might consider it"

[lone bloom]

Or give us a full bag of Real money pre 1.0

[crystal sleet]

that would be insane for them to refund us our pledge money

"Thanks for the support yall! Since we are now financially stable with a steady income, we will thank our backers by refunding them their money. We willwipe your hangars though, cant be giving the backers an edge over the new players now hahaha"

[lone bloom]

I still do think having something like a Single larger ship like perseus that can be crewed with a minimum crew will be an gigantic advantage in 1.0 over people who do not have it

[crystal sleet]

the Perseus will 100% be the ship i will choose as my starter in 1.0 if they make us choose

ill make money by forming parties and doing bounties

[lone bloom]

I mean you can do a bit of everything and on top of that high end combat

[azure fulcrum]

Hah I would love that

[crystal sleet]

though itll be insanely broken if it was the case, but imagine if npc bounties werent rep locked in 1.0. A newbie with a cutter could go and hunt down a javelin if they wanted to

[azure fulcrum]

aint that the truth lol

lol inforunners just ranting for an hour straight on how the perseus doesn't look like concept

in particular they are stuck on it not looking armored enough

the skin doesn't look like it has armored plates

[lone bloom]

I just imagine that you are not getting hard stuck in combat missions with the percy and can Grind your way up fast to missions that actually make stonk money, while someone with just a fighter or starter ship will go hard stuck at some point in terms of mission difficultiness

And will have to farm the missions he is stuck with to get a better ship first

[azure fulcrum]

the turret looks like solid metal plates but the hull has crazy amount of tiny plates and edges going on

it doesn't look like the solid massive armor plates from cuntcept

more like polaris texture

[lone bloom]

Who would have guessed that

[crystal sleet]

i can see both the argument that the Perseus looks and doesnt look armoured. It doesnt look armoured because it looks naked, no big and thick armour to cover it up

BUT, it also looks armoured because it has so many panels, extra armour plating welded onto the hull

[azure fulcrum]

[azure fulcrum]

just the panels are tiny so more welds means less structual integrity

IDK lol

[lone bloom]

I mean not like visually it would matter

[azure fulcrum]

bishop asked for a heavily armored ship

so perseus 100% gonna be heavily armored even it don't look like it

[crystal sleet]

its also the future, AND theres current IRL sheet metal fabrication technicues that shape metal sheets by pressing and creasing shapes into a single panel

[lone bloom]

Cig still deciding "ah okay 1 mil hp" not Caring about the looks

[crystal sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCXu8Ju_fdY&pp=ygUXc2hlZXQgbWV0YWwgZGVmb3JtYXRpb24%3D

[azure fulcrum]

also the skin color needs to look more like metal like concept

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I guess that makes a lot of sense good point

its not like drake which has visible welds lol

[lone bloom]

concept paint

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I already complained about it with the july monthly report sneekpeak

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

the skin doesn't look metallic enough

[lone bloom]

Make it misc metallic

(Please dont)

[azure fulcrum]

ehhhhhhhhhhhh

fuck no

[lone bloom]

[crystal sleet]

the Perseus hull could be explained with some sort of coating

[lone bloom]

Stealth heavily armored coating ofc

[crystal sleet]

whether it is radar or radiation absorbtion coating, anti slip or anti glare coating

[azure fulcrum]

I like your takes yeah I could buy that

anti glare XD with gamer LED strips

RGB

[crystal sleet]

theres also the idea that CIG still cant figure out how to make a metal texture thats unique enoguh to be used for RSI ships

[crystal sleet]

yuh, anti glare so that the LEDS pop moar

[azure fulcrum]

Wahahahhaah XD exactly

Clown Incompetent Gaming

[lone bloom]

You mean the led Strips they taked away?

[azure fulcrum]

ehh it still has led strips

[crystal sleet]

only so many texture and colour combinations you can make

[lone bloom]

But not the important ones

[crystal sleet]

i think the bridge LED strip being deleted is a saving grace. You know how the lighting sometimes blooms into the brightness of the fucking sun sometimes?

Imagine that with the bridge LED strips

[azure fulcrum]

yes you're right like the wing one next to the bridge

[lone bloom]

Also why your name perseus captain we had someone in here that died on the hill that a pilot cant be the captain and there is no captain seat in perseus

[tawny fern]

I remember that

That was very embarassing

[crystal sleet]

because the pilot is the captain

[azure fulcrum]

airline captain also pilots the ship

[tawny fern]

Certified agedlikemilk moment

[crystal sleet]

i was the one arguing that the captain is the pilot lmao

[lone bloom]

Tried to tell them that too, was an whole hour Argument

[crystal sleet]

[azure fulcrum]

true

[tawny fern]

Oooooo

[azure fulcrum]

yikes Guardian owners XDDD

HAHAHHAH

[crystal sleet]

welp, atleast coolers have a reason to exist, no matter how much its been shoehorned in

[lone bloom]

Military a coolers got more important now

[azure fulcrum]

redeemer owner trolololol

[azure fulcrum]

yeah fuck

[lone bloom]

Maybe a reason why Military a shields will be finally be better - less heat build up

[crystal sleet]

guess ill be grinding the 300k contracts to buy military comps on the market

[azure fulcrum]

industrial should have the most emission which also means more heat buildup

[lone bloom]

I will get mine for free

I know who to ask who has a Stock pile of s3

[azure fulcrum]

XDDD

[lone bloom]

Parapet shields soon dead

[crystal sleet]

out of the loop again

[azure fulcrum]

poor rustle with his stockpile of 100 parapet

[lone bloom]

Wouldnt suprise me if he has also stockpile of FRs shields

Otherwise i have enough money to buy 3 or 4 of them easily

Unless they wipe

Which i kinda expect

At least money and rep wipe

[azure fulcrum]

this IAE is going to be nuts crazy shit going to happen

my psyker senses are tilting

[lone bloom]

Iae is a least also a good time to wipe

Because you get everything at iae

And can rent ships for free too

[azure fulcrum]

I'm sensing: Kits.... and Beams

[crystal sleet]

rent 400 Perseus

[azure fulcrum]

more bespoke weapons

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/500-cigarettes-the-orville-gif-7999465420984481267

Wait

Do not some ships have Military comps by Stock?

Could rent then and salvage their comps

[azure fulcrum]

imagine new ship silhouettes coming IAE

[lone bloom]

They dont do that anymore at least no concept ones

[azure fulcrum]

well yeah bucc has JS300 or whatever it is A grade mil powerplant

[lone bloom]

At best existing ships that get teased for the next 12 months

[azure fulcrum]

yes thats what I meant

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/plotting-plottin-hehe-planning-evil-plan-gif-16790293

[lone bloom]

I mean ironclad will be one of them for sure

Galaxy a big maybe

Pioneer a extremely big maybe

And besides those cant think of any ship that was announced as being worked on and realisticly within 12 months from now

I guess mauler

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm dunno what other ships have A class mil comps

something happening with bucanneer tho very sus

they changed the stats and theres a lot of buccs in the IAE vid

[lone bloom]

inhales copium Perseus of course has mil a comps by stock

[azure fulcrum]

F8 also got tuned

when CIG buffs ships there will be sales

[lone bloom]

If cig nerfs ships there will be New ships similar to the nerfed one

I can See a pattern

[azure fulcrum]

Also true lol XD

[humble anvil]

im not scrubbing (cleaning) Dirty duped components i swear. (so they dont wipe, or less likely to wipe)

i swear im a good noodle

as for S3 comps

[lone bloom]

Just to find out you cant change the s3s

[azure fulcrum]

even if they're scrub or legit they still disappear on you

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

i got a few

annnnnnnd alot more everywhere else

[azure fulcrum]

we parapetting

[lone bloom]

Some would call it floor texture decoration

[azure fulcrum]

but also the mil A size 3 comps?

FR86 or whatever it is

[humble anvil]

this is all mil A

except FR86

[azure fulcrum]

ohhhh shit

[humble anvil]

they're only from ships right now

[lone bloom]

Oh yeah rustle there is a realistic chance mil a shields might become better again

[humble anvil]

obviously

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

but they're unobtainable realisticlly

because bugs

only way is through ships

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

ripping off mobi

[lone bloom]

So, the cgi classic

But also mil a coolers will be very important

Because comps overheat apparantly drastically

[azure fulcrum]

bucc variant... F8 variant... hmm

[lone bloom]

Well f8 variant

[humble anvil]

im testing something

[lone bloom]

We likely saw that one already

[azure fulcrum]

yeah it are a cummin

[lone bloom]

The sq42

F8

Ngl the f8s are ugly

[azure fulcrum]

they are yeah

the sq24 f8x or whatever henry camel is flying is better looking for sure

[lone bloom]

Still ugly

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

Hope the alpha Wolf is great tho

Still need a very sleek looking fighter

If not it will be forever the f7a mkii

[azure fulcrum]

I have hopes for l22 wolf

[lone bloom]

Isnt the alpha Wolf the l22

[azure fulcrum]

any new drake I just write off as scrap metal

[azure fulcrum]

yes sir

[lone bloom]

I mean

It literally is

[azure fulcrum]

zero expectations for the clipper

drake and misc ships are cheap for a reason

[lone bloom]

Misc still better than drake

[azure fulcrum]

hmm maybe but still very budget

[lone bloom]

They put at least Cover plates on stuff

Drake just leaves it open

[azure fulcrum]

budget dollar store temu cheap crap

[azure fulcrum]

true lol

it still has rivets on misc

[lone bloom]

Also i still take a starlancer any day over a connie visually

[lone bloom]

Connie is extremely drakeish

[round zodiac]

yea, its olllld

[humble anvil]

ace pilot helmets back on the menu to dupe

god damn

[lone bloom]

Vanduul armor

Interesting

[humble anvil]

artifact fragments

only saw those from hathor olp. ace pilot dont drop those

maybe the vanduul will drop them

[azure fulcrum]

vandrool

[lone bloom]

At least gonna have a ship to kill of vanduul easily

[humble anvil]

vanduul metal and plating prob from the armor drops as we have to loot vanduul pilots for something

[lone bloom]

And can drag their bodies fast into the ship

Airlock at least must have some use i guess....

[azure fulcrum]

aren't there any better ships than that from wiketroll like light fighters?

I could use a wiketrol gladius with A grade comps

[lone bloom]

He did not call it wik-x.....

[azure fulcrum]

or wiketrol ship that has s3 grade A comps

[eternal urchin]

wikelo idris thing legit ???

[lone bloom]

Did they not Upgrade some gladius variant to full mil a specs?

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

Brother

You come to the perseus chat

To ask if the idris thing is leqit

[eternal urchin]

yea im a member of perseus cult but i only love talking and asking around here

[azure fulcrum]

the referral gladius yeah... you need 42 refs for that

[azure fulcrum]

gladius has been my main ship since forever

only recently I used asgard a little more

[lone bloom]

Assgard

[humble anvil]

gimme gimme gimme

[lone bloom]

Still dissappointed they wasted that name for a valk mk2

Guess they gonna take ygdrasil for a future cap then

[lone bloom]

I wonder what the Red lights emits

The turret or something beneath the turret

[azure fulcrum]

the only real asgard

[humble anvil]

*ominous music plays

[lone bloom]

Imagine its from the turret

And you as other ship just see the Red lights turning towards you

[azure fulcrum]

you can see it emitting or glaring from the barrel at one point

[humble anvil]

its a fucking Railgun

THE EMPEROR PROTECTS

Imagine the Perseus actually has 1400 m/s projectile speed

That would make me so happy

Could actually hit stuff 5km away

[azure fulcrum]

it makes sense to have high projectile speed cause perseus is supposed to engage at very very long range

all those who kept droning about how perseus cant hit shit because the s8s are too low velocity are going to be surprised

if they stay true to concept pitch it will have very good velocity

I think the minimum gonna be 1000m/s

[crystal sleet]

RSI Perseus will be teh center piece of the hologram when you step off the elevators

Also as confirmation, the Perseus does NOT have three remote turrets. The Rear remote turret is now the bow turret, and the original spot is now occupied by a PDC both top and bottom

[fluid plume]

Perseus spam vs vanduul destroyer spam (cause cig will accidentally program vanduul destroyer to duplicate)*

[crystal sleet]

Perseus safe from potential increase of min crew number

[fluid plume]

So Perseus has 6 pdc?

[crystal sleet]

i swear i had suggested the rear remote turret be moved forward to the chin when we were theory crafting ages ago

[crystal sleet]

seems so

let me get better angles

also these are YT screenshots

[fluid plume]

Tbh would rather have that butt turret plus the new nose turret

All 3 remote turrets would be peak

[crystal sleet]

forward PDC locations

added axis lines to roughly show the angle of the Perseus hologram

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvwQX8l1IXM

Video if you want a better 4k view

better shot of the placements

[coarse cloud]

how many pdc total?

[agile kayak]

6

2 back, 2 bottom, 2 top

rear turret got moved to chin, rear is now 2 over under pdc's between thrusters

[tawny fern]

wait wtf lol

what is that

why is it all glitched

thats actually insane coverage

[agile kayak]

they dont have the model for the ship in game, it just loads existing assets so it just shows us the pdc's they used

CIG will show us a cinematic of it but god forbid a hologram on the test server

[tawny fern]

ah i see

man thats incredibgle

[nocturne raft]

maybe this is a new discovery

perseus has pdcs that are not the m2c

square front (from the hologram on ptu)

round front on the m2c swarm

[nocturne raft]

its obviously low rez, but it doesnt have the little side ejections the m2c has

[tawny fern]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

so i guess what we thought was the rear remote s3 was actually a pair of individual pdc's

interesting

6 pdc's on a ship of this size is pretty sick

[nocturne raft]

maybe. it could very well be weird lod stuff. it is just a half broken hologram. but that does look distinctly a square barrel

[coarse cloud]

do we know if the s3 are automatic on launch

or not

[tawny fern]

we do not know

for sure

[coarse cloud]

i have a feeling they will

they have tested npc turrets for fps

and pdcs work well

[nocturne raft]

its unlikely, cos theyd have to be implementing ai blade tech which weve heard or seen nothing about on the 4.4 ptu

[coarse cloud]

[nocturne raft]

theyll work as any other remote turret until ships get their CPU, and blades get implemented properly

we just get 2 for free

[coarse cloud]

true

[humble anvil]

Ye I think as a fallback they will be bladed forward until the time comes to be fully automated

As all big military esk ships of recent had their remote turrets slaved forward

Of atleast the ones that made sense to slave forward

Plus bladed by default. Hopefully can get cig to make that change if it's not by default

[severe lynx]

hm 6 PDCs are actually quite a lot

maybe theres some caveat to it like the ship being slower than other ships of its size
which would make sense i guess

[jolly acorn]

its got very chonk armour so i cant imagine it to be quick

[humble anvil]

very fast straight line

trust

[severe lynx]

im expecting it to handle somewhat like the TAC

[jolly acorn]

yeah

on release, like every ship ever will be overtuned then tuned down

[humble anvil]

just think

S8 Size comparison.

Sizes are 35% roughly

massive gun

masssive

[crystal sleet]

hopefully the muzzle breaks on teh Medusa cannons do their job well and not flashbang the gunners lol

[jolly acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/12flashbangs-gif-10925276036553405872

[steel sparrow]

How

[humble anvil]

its just size comparison thats all

im trying to find the powerplant on the ares inferno

and it looks like it doesnt have one physicalized..

Chris... you never cease to amaze me.

i think the ship was supposed to be bigger than it actually is.. as the text is smushed

oh dear

so the ares inferno is going to be OP for Engineering

it doesnt have a powerplant location

[severe lynx]

did IAE last year sell military components

i missed that one

[humble anvil]

i think so, a few grade A

[humble anvil]

But this is competition, industrial, civilian, and like 1 / 2 military

i definitely dont have malware on top of star citizen

[azure fulcrum]

lol originally perseus had zero PDC and now it has 6. I can live with only 2 remote turrets

[humble anvil]

eyaah fuck its

beautiful

6 pdc for that form factor is

oh dude

Oh dude

[tawny fern]

jesus

[humble anvil]

Aqua wants their 1 minute back

WEL YOU CANT HAVE IT

[tawny fern]

dw i saved it

[azure fulcrum]

6 pdcs for a ship that size daaaaaaaaaaaaaayum

I know the turrets have size 3 mantisees but comeone what if they were size 4s instead >.<

[tawny fern]

we keep getting surprises after surprises

who knows

they might actually be s4

[humble anvil]

that comes with the military kit

[azure fulcrum]

whatever size the remote turret guns are they are 100% the same size as the alt fire gattlings on the main turret

jav has s4 altfires keep that in mind

would be weird if perseus only had s3 altfire no

[tawny fern]

s4 alt fires on a s7 cannon

i think it'd be inconsistent

[azure fulcrum]

yep

[tawny fern]

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

[azure fulcrum]

need to be s4 or s5

they do be looking hella tiny tho

but s8 is 1.5 times bigger than s7 or something crazy

[tawny fern]

so

something im curious about

if i can find it

take a close look at the shiv's s4 gatlings

[humble anvil]

it might

get

bespoke s4

used those as template maybe

or perhaps a Kit

[tawny fern]

i think i see 4 barrels on the perseus

shiv gatlings only have 3

probably not the same gun

[humble anvil]

you know those are mantis on the perseus rightttt

[tawny fern]

no!

oh

[timid wind]

i wonder if we can change the s3’s or are they bespoke like the s8’s?

[humble anvil]

they're mantis so they should right

[tawny fern]

hahahahahaha wtf

[humble anvil]

So what you're saying is... Perseus is a fat fucking tank thats never going to die

[timid wind]

you’re thinking changing em to those?

[azure fulcrum]

perseus display

[humble anvil]

for the time being yes, untill engineering lol

then we want maximum Pen

[tawny fern]

im still not sure if thats the hermes or perseus

it would definitely fit the hermes

[humble anvil]

Perseus

[timid wind]

perseus display will be everywhere i go

[azure fulcrum]

hermes is much smaller than that stand

[tawny fern]

oh yeah

you're right

hermes landing pads dont line up at all

[humble anvil]

its Perseus

[lone bloom]

So... u 6 pdc? Thats kinda crazy considering polaris has 6 or 8 aswell

[humble anvil]

i think 6 pdc as well

oh

the image from xero

yeah

IAE shows 6 pdc using the perseus model that doesnt exist yet but has pdc placements

[lone bloom]

I just woke up have stuff to catch up

[azure fulcrum]

the landing gears line up perfectly to the circles yeah

[azure fulcrum]

its nuts lol I did not expect 6 PDC would've been happy with 3-4 lmao

[lone bloom]

So they overdone the ttk

[azure fulcrum]

now we know why they nerfed PDCs 50%

[lone bloom]

Well

It reduces the only fear i had in the percy even more

Torpedos

[azure fulcrum]

perseus gonna be incredibly tanky and well defended

[lone bloom]

And now it has full anti missile/ torp coverage

[azure fulcrum]

flying fortress

[lone bloom]

Every direction has at least 2 pdcs

[azure fulcrum]

thats nuts

[tawny fern]

wait....cig knows how to design good turret coverage?

is this a new company?

[lone bloom]

Only for perseus

[humble anvil]

BIS paint is bad lmaooo

Hurston colors

[lone bloom]

I CALLED IT

I called how tjey will look like

[tawny fern]

post the polaris one

[humble anvil]

Brown pooo

[tawny fern]

its terrible

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that asgard skin looks very mediocre

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

guys

its a flying turd now

[tawny fern]

[humble anvil]

if you ever wanted to own one

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

I think the poolaris looks better skin really does it justice

[lone bloom]

I easily said it will be a full color paint with just black accents

Easy

[lone bloom]

Well they cried for having no real paints? Now they have one

[azure fulcrum]

amazing how we went from yellow orange black and smoke grey to complete brown

[lone bloom]

Im really happy now that the polaris got to the top 4

Rip your asgard btw

[azure fulcrum]

they just diarrhoea all over it

[lone bloom]

I mean it will be Orange with yellow taint

But light shining on it

Will make it look like.. well yeah

[azure fulcrum]

poop kind of orange meaning stool mixed with blood

hemorrhoid poop color

[lone bloom]

I guess it was one good thing perseus did not release before best in show voting

[humble anvil]

yes

[lone bloom]

Fucking dodged a nuclear bomb

In terms of paints

[azure fulcrum]

I'm still amazed how low effort this bis paint is they just used a paint bucket tool

[lone bloom]

They probably expected now a extremely good paint because iae is Gold, something like free Olympus paints

And now got fucking rolled

[lone bloom]

Well, not the first time

Thats why i was pretty sure it will be a full Orange paint

Assoon it was leaked that its Orange- Orange- black

Are those leaks or official?

If official i wanna See spectrum the people foaming

[azure fulcrum]

I pray for perseus skins to be good 😩

they seem to have put a LOT of effort in making perseus badass (even tho we don't necessarely agree with the artistic choices they've made)

sooo I assume the same amount of effort is going into making the paints

[timid wind]

i hope we get actual militaristic skins and not just a different color

like camos and whatnot

[humble anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-broke-gif-13045804

[azure fulcrum]

I'm gonna be a happy if

1. It get idris shark skin
2. It get slate grey concept skin

[timid wind]

i kinda want the commando skin of idris

the green camo one

it think its kewl

[azure fulcrum]

I need store credit 😭

[fluid plume]

Someone edit it to say Poolaris

[lone bloom]

Thats a lie you have Tons of store Credits likely

[humble anvil]

$36 exactly

[fluid plume]

Sorry buddy but Perseus has fallen into Poolaris trap with the exterior

[lone bloom]

Lmao

I mean still more than enough for 1 or 2 paints

[humble anvil]

unf the perseus kit coming

which i didnt think about

[humble anvil]

so

https://tenor.com/view/all-in-i'm-all-in-funny-high-risk-money-gif-7819129299532898128

[fluid plume]

Triton camo me want

[tawny fern]

geez even the idris paints are meh

[azure fulcrum]

3. sea serpent skin for perseus

[tawny fern]

50 shades of meh

[lone bloom]

Well that did not last long

[fluid plume]

At least they aren’t Poolaris gray and a colored line

[azure fulcrum]

I think the nightbreak would be nice for percius too

[lone bloom]

You mean like the now base perseus paint

[fluid plume]

It’s so over

[lone bloom]

In coping its not a kit paint like for the idris

[humble anvil]

the egg, ramen, mushroom, and bits of onion fried was not the combo

im dieing

[fallow wharf]

This one I like

[humble anvil]

help

[azure fulcrum]

I fucking pray they use pipette on idris skin and then bucket tool on perseus

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

and not from fucking polaris (my left eye is twitching from the anxiety)

I have 2 days off I need to chill guys how do I chill?

[tawny fern]

ravit arent you a purple enjoyer

[fluid plume]

Tbh Poolaris and Perseus looks like they slapped javelin exterior, scorpius is the only one that has nailed its modern RSI style

[lone bloom]

Obviously

[humble anvil]

thats why hes so excited for the perseus. engine burn goes crazy

[lone bloom]

I mean look at my name

[tawny fern]

purple haze perseus when

[lone bloom]

Disgusting

Vomit paint

The green destroys it

Prefer the Headhunter pyro reward purple paints

[tawny fern]

i dont understand

the polaris paints are so incredibly lazy

all of them

grey this grey that

every other large ship at least has a whole lot of color

[azure fulcrum]

guys... can someone please answer this riddle:

Do the same teams that made the ship also make the ship skins?

because if that's the case we're absolutely fucked

[lone bloom]

And i had already anxiety because i ccued away from the zeus and it now getting a bis skin, glad its shit paints (Not like i have either way a purple paint for it so muhehe)

[azure fulcrum]

PLEASE TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE

[lone bloom]

I mean literally shit paints

[azure fulcrum]

my eye twitching still

anyone know?

[humble anvil]

guys guy guys

the perseus is cooking bro

[lone bloom]

Probaly a intern does it lmao

[humble anvil]

we didnt get 6 pdc for nuthin

[azure fulcrum]

plz tell me skin will look good

FUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuck

😭

[lone bloom]

The base skin?

Absolutely no chance

[azure fulcrum]

noooo the paid skin

we already know the base skin is bad

[humble anvil]

let em coooook

[lone bloom]

Likely purposly so we buy skins

[azure fulcrum]

yes please

[lone bloom]

I mean we also know the 100€ paint is trash

[azure fulcrum]

what 100 euro paint?

[lone bloom]

The Concierge one

[azure fulcrum]

it needs

[tawny fern]

lol

[lone bloom]

Aka the one that has an actual value of 20 bucks

[lone bloom]

And looks like a free paint

[tawny fern]

i cant believe this is the base skin

[azure fulcrum]

oh wasn't that one like 16$ or something

[lone bloom]

It wont be

[tawny fern]

excuse me

[lone bloom]

20

[lone bloom]

Look at perseus

Base skin got taken away too

[tawny fern]

what was the original perseus skin

paint

[severe lynx]

im going to probably stick with thundercloud unless it gets a great BiS paint

[lone bloom]

@azure fulcrum

[lone bloom]

Says the guy that sold majority of his stuff

[azure fulcrum]

notice how it actually looks like metal

[tawny fern]

yeah

definitely a lot bluer but

star citizen lighting is notoriously uhh

[azure fulcrum]

slate grey

[tawny fern]

so what you're saying is

rsi galaxy is gonna be poolaris grey

[lone bloom]

They have that paint on multiple pictures tho

With the same blue

[azure fulcrum]

I want a slate grey shark skin

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/marcus-the-worm-marcus-campfire-marcus-it's-pissing-me-off-marcus-its-pissing-me-off-marcus-rock-gif-3003797320221769282

There is a cut in it

[timid wind]

that's basically just the thundercloud

[azure fulcrum]

I really like the wolf now CIG just completely removed the fin

I hope they just forget about the retract option and put that fin in the trash where it belongs

[coarse cloud]

no way you downloaded free thundercloud paint

[lone bloom]

And Extra 64 GB of Ram

how many pdcs does the (now literal) pooplaris have?

[azure fulcrum]

7

[lone bloom]

Polaris is 5x larger than the perseus

and it only has 1 more pdc?

[azure fulcrum]

fun fact idris P only has 6 PDC

[lone bloom]

omg

XD

They really hit the perseus with the powercreep

[azure fulcrum]

Idris M has 11 PDC

[lone bloom]

But Idris M is rare as fuck

[azure fulcrum]

Idris P is such a bad deal

reduced armor half the PDC

[lone bloom]

Idris P with railgun yes - often, but the direct M is rare

[azure fulcrum]

downgraded turrets

[azure fulcrum]

very rare

[lone bloom]

also rn watching jo dude yt with the IAE hall

he saying that isn't enough space (because of the circles) for the perseus

i think he misses something

those circles are likely for the landing gear, which is more in the middle of the perseus

[azure fulcrum]

the circles are for the percurial landing gears

[lone bloom]

like the percy extends alot

[azure fulcrum]

no question about it

[lone bloom]

from the gears

especially the front is multiple meters

away from the gear

if not 20~ ish meters

[azure fulcrum]

well didn't the main hall fit the polaris last IAE?

[lone bloom]

hall varies in size probably

they likely have 2-3 size versions

[lone bloom]

also there is alot of other stuff in the hall

polaris only had the two connies in there

three*

and occpuies the entire middle

[azure fulcrum]

perseus gonna be smoll and cute it fit there easily

[lone bloom]

6 vs 7 PDCs

[azure fulcrum]

lmao

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

fucking 5x larger

[humble anvil]

Polaris has 7?

[lone bloom]

and it only has 1 pdc more

[humble anvil]

Jesus

Never realized

[lone bloom]

now i have to test it

with idris

[humble anvil]

Perseus good for solo

[lone bloom]

let me cook

[azure fulcrum]

doesn't matter what angle you'll always have 2-3 PDCS pointed right at you

wait 4 from the broadside

3 from the bottom or top

so 2-4

[lone bloom]

same pdc amount

9-10X larger

[azure fulcrum]

I have zero respect for Idris Peasant

gonna be such an easy kill for perseus

Idris P-easant

[lone bloom]

Either percy will get hard bonked by nerf bat

or they seriously have to up pdc numbers on caps

[azure fulcrum]

you think that giant spinal mount beam or railgun wont get blown off in 2 seconds? lmao

[jolly acorn]

Youd only have 2 broadside as the engines are in the way for the rear ones

[azure fulcrum]

2 on the bottom 2 on top sides

ehh not so sure anymore you might be right

[jolly acorn]

Forgot about the middle ones

[midnight crypt]

Buy the laser kit you get the rest of the PDCs so it also gets 11

[azure fulcrum]

ohh thats why

[midnight crypt]

Buy the torp kit to get the pepperbox missile turrets

[jolly acorn]

Do those missile turrets actually fire them as PDC?

Or just player fired

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder if the battle cruiser gonna have a hangar

[jolly acorn]

More then likely

[humble anvil]

PDC Missles? They auto fire

have to be outside the minimum range though

they fire all at once

:V

[jolly acorn]

Oh thats cool so swap out 1-2 to give it some range defence to help against saturation for the laser ones

[humble anvil]

it only has like 6 missles

:/

[jolly acorn]

Thought itd back a bunch of s1’s

[humble anvil]

oh

16

Storing sixteen S1 missiles, the PPB-116 "Pepperbox" is as disruptive as it is deadly, excelling at both inflicting damage and overwhelming evasive maneuvers.

GYAD DAMN

[jolly acorn]

Oh thats not so bad

[humble anvil]

okay thats significant

you could show up on the Perseus fire all the torps / missles pdc

and fuck off

lol

show up just to spray your load and then leave

[jolly acorn]

And say goodbyes to all your money

[azure fulcrum]

wish they were S2 rattlers

[humble anvil]

the 15k insurance claim go crazy

[azure fulcrum]

6 x 16 size 2 rattlers

[jolly acorn]

[azure fulcrum]

96 rattlers

[jolly acorn]

Im not waiting 15-20 minutes

[humble anvil]

u right

dupe more 4head

[azure fulcrum]

I like to cope but no way perseus gonna have S2 PDC XDDD

[jolly acorn]

Plus i like keeping my ship alive as long as possible with cruz bottles n shi to decorate

[azure fulcrum]

oh so you're responsible for the 6 server FPS

[jolly acorn]

I was suprised to see more then 2 PDC’s

[jolly acorn]

Im not an IDRIS owner, theyre the true lagfesters

[azure fulcrum]

I'm hoping to be surprised with the interior having some funky new features

or like a medbay something ridiculous to trigger people

80 to 200 SCU cargo bay

[jolly acorn]

I don’t want it to have one, then it’s doing too much

[lone bloom]

Also just did a lil (kinda very fast non professional way) of the firing arc behind the supposed blind spot of Perseus:
Orange = 1 PDC and remote turret
Grey = No Turret coverage (Blindspot)
Yellow = 1-2 PDC
Red = Literal death sentence

[azure fulcrum]

If you go down that line of thinking its already doing too much lol its better than 90% of ships at everything as it is

perseus endgame heavy gunboat, 'nough said

that's all there is to it really

[humble anvil]

so what you're saying is... it has pretty good coverage :>)

[jolly acorn]

I do think it’s already doing too much seeing those PDC’s as I expected the minigun turrets to function as PDT’s

[lone bloom]

Well its blind spot are literal just a few meters behind the engines

barely enough space for a light fighter

especially with the desync and risk of just colliding and exploding

[azure fulcrum]

the grey areas still have PDC coverage tbh

[lone bloom]

Depends on how much the engines stick out

its just the area directly behind the engines

[azure fulcrum]

hmm

[jolly acorn]

Currently only balancing i can assume theyre gonna be able to it rn is make it slow, and the guns to have slow velocity ( kinda sad about that)

[azure fulcrum]

its gonna be a very small non-significant blindspot either way

[lone bloom]

absolutely

[azure fulcrum]

don't think a fighter is gonna be able to hover in the blindspot

[lone bloom]

ngl the back of the perseus even looks scarier

than the front

weapon wise

[azure fulcrum]

when moving

all the people who say "but it gotta be balanced it NEEDS a weakness weakspot etc"

Me: it really don't its endgame ship shusssss

[lone bloom]

i mean it has a weakness

swarm of fighters

• cig

[azure fulcrum]

🥱

[humble anvil]

with the changes coming to engineering lol...

and ship ttk

[lone bloom]

I still think a swarm of heavy fighter or ares infernos/Ions will absolutely kill a perseus simply because of kiting

[humble anvil]

<<<<

[lone bloom]

but how often do you see a swarm of heavy or medium fighters?

[azure fulcrum]

even a huge swarm of fighters with S3 guns can't even penetrate the armor lol

[lone bloom]

not talking about light fighters

talking about ships with S5 guns

[humble anvil]

how often do we see ships besides light fighters

[azure fulcrum]

CIG didn't specify what kind of fighters lol

[humble anvil]

or a guardian

[lone bloom]

actually regulary - at least at the polaris event rn

[humble anvil]

guardian is a really good ship

[lone bloom]

and guardian pretty often even

[azure fulcrum]

its such a easy target for percius tho

[lone bloom]

also paladin quite often

[azure fulcrum]

just a slow ass squishy target

[lone bloom]

but paladin is prob already too large

[azure fulcrum]

like get real lol

[jolly acorn]

Paladin is going to be eaten for breakfast, as it should be, should only struggle against hornets, buccs ect, needs a counter ship otherwise it becomes a whale like the polaris / idris and need to bring half the server to hunt it / bring another perseus to fight it

[azure fulcrum]

paladin also wouldn't win against the S8 turrets

even bigger target

[jolly acorn]

Ik it shouldn’t, its a sub class slayer, built to each connies ect, so needs the little guys to knock it out

[azure fulcrum]

sub cap slayer just means it kills everything that is sub (meaning under) capital size and below

IDK why people keep thinking sub cap slayer only means it can kill ships of its own size

[jolly acorn]

Yeah but it talks about going for medium ships

[azure fulcrum]

well MX is medium size and its a perfect target to track for the main turret of perseus so yeah

[lone bloom]

Better version

[azure fulcrum]

that kinda went out of the window when they decided to put altfire gattlings on the main turrets

[jolly acorn]

True ig

[azure fulcrum]

I'm still thinking that the middle PDC might be able to cover the side engine blindspot

[lone bloom]

maybe, maybe not

[azure fulcrum]

hmm need to check

[lone bloom]

but considering the 50% damage nerf

it doesn't matter that much

[azure fulcrum]

well maybe the bottom middle ones ones because they are wider spaced out and more to the rear also the bottom engines are more tucked in

but the top front ones wont be able to cover the engine blindspot

fucking amazing PDC coverage well done CIG

[lone bloom]

Powercreept to the moon

[azure fulcrum]

it really didn't need to S8s XDDD its so ridiculous

well they're bespoke so who knows how they're going to perform

but yeah pretty insane

[lone bloom]

"Yeah meant to shred sub caps"
Lets give it guns larger than any current - including capital warships - have

[azure fulcrum]

craaaazy

[lone bloom]

Not like I would mind

[azure fulcrum]

yeah its fine I'll take the S8s

[lone bloom]

aslong they aren't

well

Meteor like

[azure fulcrum]

in the 2 months time perseus was finished they probably had enough time to make kits

bespoke beam weapon kit, railgun kit

shouldn't be hard to do

easy money for CIG

[lone bloom]

Literaly with all those things

I don't see why anyone would take a Hammerhead?

Unless they planned redicioulis buffs for the HH too

[azure fulcrum]

hmmmm we'd probably already seen hammerhead stat changes no?

I think its unlikely dunno

[lone bloom]

its supposed to get a gold pas

pass*

so dunno

i meant besides stats, like pdcs

[azure fulcrum]

Aegis Hammerhead - Revisions for gold pass, addition of blast doors throughout corridors and updated component placement

[lone bloom]

Maybe they hiding stuff

dunno

i still wanna see them buffing the HP non the less

I don't like nor care about the HH but every buff it gets means the Percy will be even better

[humble anvil]

Perseus sits between hammerhead and polaris

$900 ship baby

Hammerhead bump to 750

775*

800*

[lone bloom]

I wonder why they said that

Kinda sounds to me like the Perseus is meant to be significantly stronger than the HH

Like, being its own class between sub cap and cap

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

If they call it pretty much a stepping stone

after the HH

[humble anvil]

Perseus gets bespoke capital shield 150k, and HH gets 4x S3

it is AEGIS

and AEGIS is nothing but shields

🙏

[lone bloom]

yk what suprises me

the IAE halls are already there in PTU

But there is no spot for the Hermes?

[severe lynx]

I think it'll remain with 2x S3 shield gens

[lone bloom]

Perseus or HH?

[severe lynx]

the perseus

[fallow wharf]

Don’t say that

We need more cope

Seems like

Grey blue red

[lone bloom]

dunno what I think about that

Blue Red sounds meh

[lone bloom]

xD

[fallow wharf]

probably accents that help with red police lights?

[lone bloom]

.-.

[fallow wharf]

imagine it is thundercloud but with those colors

wtf thats a weird ass color scheme

that kinda blackpilling just one skin??????

[lone bloom]

one skin so far

doubt it will be only one

[fallow wharf]

where is that from

[lone bloom]

fuck ass salvager name

it’s got a medical ship name

1 paint and it sounds like the default 💔

fym blue and grey

[lone bloom]

Those aren't all paints tho?

[lone bloom]

and red*

[steel thistle]

horrific

[lone bloom]

extremely unlikely those are all paints, still bet with at least 4
