Perseus Pals

[lone bloom]

you mean escorts*

[humble anvil]

What other ship is going to fight a Polaris or Idris?

Another Polaris or Idris?

What kind of stupid logic is that

[lone bloom]

i mean rn paladin does a good job without a gigantic amount of crew needed like a HH

[humble anvil]

Perseus really needs to punch that bubble

And punch it hard

[lone bloom]

Which is obviously what CIG wants

otherwise they would have let it be S7

and not upgunned

[humble anvil]

Yup

Again by cig definition. Idris and Polaris are logi capital ships

They're not there to fight. They can but

[coarse cloud]

The amount of crying on Reddit and spectrum when the Perseus drops from idris owners is going to be legendary

“Why cig why can’t my ship kill everything I want it to whenever I ask even if I’m on my own”

[lone bloom]

Well Polaris isn't meant to fight in the first place

Just deploy a fighter, and support other ships with torpedos

Idris can act as a brawler if it has fitting escorts, but on its own it isn't any better than the Polaris

so far only the javelin can stand on its own kinda

[humble anvil]

Hmmm

Where Perseus is going to come in, hit like a freight train

Super slow projectiles

[lone bloom]

Just hope CIG doesn't back down when the solo players start to cry

because they absolutely will

[coarse cloud]

I mean we have seen the kind of bias they have given the scorp Antares before compared to the idris…

[lone bloom]

I mean Idris is their baby tho

SQ42 yk

[jolly acorn]

i thought their baby was the jav

[lone bloom]

well Idris is your main hub area

[jolly acorn]

oh right, thought we'd live off the jav with it being pretty big

like what, a 5 minute walk to get from one end to the other?

[lone bloom]

Nah only for the intro apparantly, then you get moved to the "Squadron 42" which houses in a idris

[jolly acorn]

ah ok

[lone bloom]

but its a different idris than we have in PU so far ik

SQ42 Idris looks at least exterior wise slightly different

[jolly acorn]

yeah supposed to get theat updated one when sq42 drops, right

[lone bloom]

partially probably lol

[timid wind]

how much uhll hp does percy have

[lone bloom]

we don't know lol

until it drops into PTU

Guesses are between 800K and 1.2 Million

guess that dude forgor that you only have to destroy a vital part to destroy the ship (pre engineering)

[jolly acorn]

how much does sqishy HH and polaris got, itll be between that as its not got capital "armour"

[lone bloom]

HH is extremely underpowered

300K

Polaris as something around 3 Million

[coarse cloud]

Instead of them doing instancing in the PU they should just create a co-op for squadron 42 surely?

[azure fulcrum]

Percus getting high projectile speed

[jolly acorn]

I Beg it does

[azure fulcrum]

It will

Its very long range

[timid wind]

aren't the cannons like autocannons

[jolly acorn]

its CIG tho

[lone bloom]

People on Spectrum seem to have zero internet skills and do not fact check themselfes before making a statement apparantly

[timid wind]

low caliber high muzzle velocity

[azure fulcrum]

Like in mechwarrior

[coarse cloud]

I swear that’s the opposite of what the cannons are

they are hard hitting

But slow velocity

[azure fulcrum]

Wrong

[jolly acorn]

then how is it to kill a sub cap tho tbh

cant damage what you cant hit

[coarse cloud]

cope or fact?

I have never seen them mention anything to do with high muzzle velocity

[jolly acorn]

long ass barrel i'd hope atleast

[azure fulcrum]

Im telling you

[coarse cloud]

They even mentioned it would struggle to hit anything smaller than heavy fighters due to turret speed and velocity

[lone bloom]

I mean cannons have the highest range in SC (besides railguns) - but yes they are slow lol

[timid wind]

i mean that one video that showed the perseus shooting looked like it fired fast

like an autocannon

[azure fulcrum]

Not all

[coarse cloud]

the deadbolts are very slow

for example

[azure fulcrum]

Just wait 9 more days you'll see

[coarse cloud]

I’m not saying I don’t want it

I just struggle to belive it will be the case

[azure fulcrum]

Youre under the false assumption that these are regular ballistic cannons

[lone bloom]

(or before - if it should hit PTU within the next couple days or hours)

[tawny fern]

fellow battletech enjoyer

[azure fulcrum]

They look nothng like it

[humble anvil]

Precious could have really fast projectile cannons

[jolly acorn]

I wish balistics did aoe splash
if i see a s6 polaris turret make a shit tonn of sparks when it hits the ground i expect some shrapnel, nvm a s8 one

[lone bloom]

But does it matter if it has fast projectiles? Like okay sure it would be better to have fast projectiles, but the stuff you actually wanna kill in a perseus is extremely sluggish either way

[humble anvil]

Guys just think that the AC-130 in real life is only 30 m long

[jolly acorn]

those corsairs and connies are anything but sluggish

[lone bloom]

Like, you aint gonna shoot with a artillery main battery of a battleship at a jetski

[lone bloom]

still big enough to get hit

[azure fulcrum]

Its required for massive range its supposed to have

[jolly acorn]

eh idk bout that, look at the idris and polaris try and hit one from 3km away

[humble anvil]

It's not going to happen

[azure fulcrum]

Perceus is designed for long range engagements

[humble anvil]

It's going to be absolute butt cheeks

[timid wind]

nvm it looks more like a burst

[humble anvil]

5km is a pipe dream for Perseus because fall off is around 3km at that speed

[jolly acorn]

i'd say slowish traverse, and fire rate with fast bullet velocity would be pretty good for the percy, your fault if you decid to fly in a straight line to the nose of a percy in an arrow lmao

https://tenor.com/view/ash-baby-gif-7280845142657635823

[tawny fern]

idk if it means anything, but idris s7's have a range of 4km with a muzzle velocity of 756m/s. it takes 5.2 seconds to hit the target at max range

at closer ranges, it's still enough time to change course and avoid the rounds

[humble anvil]

*whistles

Well it's definitely one way to balance it

[lone bloom]

When Flak ammo

[humble anvil]

Just make sure it can't hit anything at all

Xddddd

Got a hug their ass to hit them

[jolly acorn]

from the look of the rounds they feel like an APFSDS, high velocity and pen but small so would just rip in and out the hull without much spall / HE

[tawny fern]

well, the second part of that sentence would definitely be a factor when armor is a thing

but as far as muzzle velocity, i guess it's up to cig to balance the guns however they want, since it's a bespoke

[jolly acorn]

yeah ofc but you'd just give it a lower damage to that of a s8 HE cannon equivilent

[lone bloom]

Family discussion just before the meal gets served (Talking about freaking bullet velocity that nobody can now to the current time)

[tawny fern]

i mean, the alt-fire on the main guns make up for whatever lack of muzzle velocity the s8's are gonna have

thats how i see it

i think it'll be, you can have high velocity low damage with the alt fires, and low velocity high damage with the main guns

and thats your options

[azure fulcrum]

If high pen means it has high velocity. Shrimple

[tawny fern]

yeah we got a pair of RAC/2's on top of a pair of AC/40's

[humble anvil]

Hot take z and I really hope they do it. Railgun, Laser, Beam, And Distortion conversion kits

[azure fulcrum]

To me the bore on the medusa seem very sml for s8s

Bore diameter

[lone bloom]

Distorition is unneeded if ballistic with switchable ammo can do that too

and likely better

[humble anvil]

Then probably just Beam

And Railgun

[azure fulcrum]

It just screams high velocity to me

[lone bloom]

i mean if it gets beams it will become very deadly on long range

[azure fulcrum]

I cant help it srry guys

[humble anvil]

They do say long range so possibly 1200 m/s and lower Alpha

We'll see

Maybe it's QUAD BARREL fkn bullshit

[azure fulcrum]

Medusa look like sniper rifle

Get it now?

[humble anvil]

Acting more like a repeater

Big shot, tink tink tink, big shot

[coarse cloud]

oh please

give us alternating fire

[azure fulcrum]

4 round burst of small but high velocity long range 10k super pinpoint accurate projectiles designed to take out components and crit powerplants

Lol

I think im off my meds again

[midnight crypt]

I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like blowing up from 1 maybe 2 railgun shots

[lone bloom]

@humble anvil this heresy? Very likely?

https://tenor.com/view/montypython-witch-burnthewitch-gif-5477103

[midnight crypt]

I don’t even want the Perseus since everyone is gonna have it but knowing my ass, I’m gonna also buying it during IAE. Might spend like $6k during IAE XD

[lone bloom]

I mean yet we all know people gonna mass sell or melt it

Simply because they realize its not a solo ship

[azure fulcrum]

New weapon type: Railgun repeater

[midnight crypt]

I just want ships that can fit on the kraken. I see the Perseus as extra guns and PDCs for my kraken 😄

[tawny fern]

thats actually an interesting notion

[lone bloom]

Heresy to use it for drake ships

[tawny fern]

assuming ai blades work on hurricane/scorpius turrets no problem, what if you just loaded up a kraken with a wave of ai bladed hurricanes

and just leave them there

[lone bloom]

I genuiely hope they won't work aslong nobody is sitting in the pilot seat

Simply because people will just leave their bladed ships around as mines

[midnight crypt]

Just have someone afk in the seats

[tawny fern]

yeah

in all 50 hurricanes

i know currently pdc's still operate as long as the ship is powered

might be different for ai blades

[midnight crypt]

18 PDCs plus 7 Dual S8 guns

[tawny fern]

what if you just stacked krakens on top of eachother

[lone bloom]

What if - no drake

[midnight crypt]

I hope I can and also dock krakens to each side while having 1 main kraken move every one of them

[tawny fern]

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1or8jfh/we_have_idrisk_at_home/

i want to try this

[midnight crypt]

Massive wall

[fallow wharf]

they most likely will be all bespoke including bespoke rocket turret at the front

current ones are all placeholder

with chance of getting up gunned

[midnight crypt]

For the kraken I hope all the guns go one size up. dual S9, 4 dual S7 and 4 dual S6 and they also add like 20 PDCs

[fallow wharf]

they might add the personel turret inside

[lone bloom]

That would dethrone the Idris very very quickly lol

[fallow wharf]

12 entry points is crazy for break ins

[fallow wharf]

not at all, kraken almost has no armor

big hp pool

thats it

[lone bloom]

big hp pool...

[fallow wharf]

its a support ship

[midnight crypt]

I hope they do. Especially for the privateer

[lone bloom]

so like the idris

[fallow wharf]

idris has shit ton of armor

[lone bloom]

You just said big hp pool

Without engineering thats the same

[fallow wharf]

armor is not hp pool

[lone bloom]

do we have armor?

[fallow wharf]

not yet

[lone bloom]

So, its the same

[fallow wharf]

all subject to change

[midnight crypt]

I’d see the kraken as a glass cannon. I’d say around the same HP as the idris but has no armor but a ton of firepower. Like the buccaneer. Weak but with a lot of firepower

[lone bloom]

"Same Hp but has no armor" ignoring that we do not have armor in the game at all - Armor is supposed to replace "the basic hull hp" so, no, they won't have "same HP"

at least in those terms

[midnight crypt]

Everything always has HP in any game. War thunder has HP. Every thing in like a tank from gun, tracks, crew go from full HP to yellow-orange-red and no hp black

[lone bloom]

Ofc "armor" itsself also has in some way HP - but you just made a counter argument to your "same HP - no armor" statement lol

It won't have "same hp" if it has no armor

Thats like saying a Bradley has the "same HP" as a Maus in Warthunder

[midnight crypt]

The ship will have same health but it won’t resist as much from getting shot by smaller guns. Say idris can ignore S3 and smaller but kraken can only ignore S1

What I’m talking about for armor.

[lone bloom]

and that Idris Armor will need significantly more shoots... so therefor, more "HP"

Even if both get shoot by a S5 gun (which would deal 100% of its damage) Kraken would likely be dead before the Idris would

and why? because the armor of the Idris has more HP

[humble anvil]

[lone bloom]

and with that, I gonna continue watching lucifer lol

[midnight crypt]

because resistance. Both can start at 100hp but S5 could do 2 damage to idris but 6-7 damage to kraken.

[fallow wharf]

we have resistances atm in the game if i am not mistaken

[lone bloom]

Only against ballistics, and very little group of ships have different kinds of resistance

(Which is also supposedly to be fully replaced with armor)

[fallow wharf]

well it will have very low resistances and will become a different kind of shield bubble, more like a wrap shield instead of a bubble

[tawny fern]

this is gonna be the best IAE ever

im gonna buy so much

christmas came early

[lone bloom]

Its gonna be bests CIG IAE ever

people gonna buy so much

more likely clipper

or the alpha wolf

im kinda suprised none of those showed up in the IAE video

or if, just very pixelated somewhere in the background probably

[fallow wharf]

maybe we can dig something out of that

[lone bloom]

'art'?

Reminds me of the last IAE where there were still signs of the prior IAE hall

[foggy beacon]

huh

tf does art supposed to mean

[fallow wharf]

they probably meant 'card' so you can pay with credit card at IAE hall at ship display for fast plenge

[tawny fern]

what are your thoughts on the planned cat modules

soon? tm

[lone bloom]

planned cat modules? did they ever spoke about them after concept? xD

[tawny fern]

i hav e no idea lmao

the modules look pretty uhh, ambitious i think

i mean apollo and retaliator modules currently work right

[midnight crypt]

Only module we are getting is command modules. Caterpillar works fine how it is. Like how CIG said the carrarck and 600i isn’t getting a rework because they work. So it’s gonna be awhile til we even see actual cat modules

[tawny fern]

so we're sticking with the cargo modules for the unforeseen future

[lone bloom]

I don't see any caterpillar module on their side nor in the brochure they never talked about those at all other than the cargo one?

[tawny fern]

and the worst tractor beam placements i have ever seen in my life

theres a video on it

[round zodiac]

any changes to the PTU hall?

[tawny fern]

https://youtu.be/eY6nJOLn6dk?si=UdtBNWunOJKXaTuh&t=750

9 years

[tawny fern]

[lone bloom]

and its not even whitebox

its just

polygons

yeah I don't see ANY of those modules will ever be come to SC

[tawny fern]

i assumed if they'll be working on the galaxy after perseus, and since it's a modular ship, surely the cat would get some love

[lone bloom]

we already do have a modular ship

and it does work kinda

[tawny fern]

the tali?

[lone bloom]

Yes

Torpedo and Cargo module

🤷‍♂️

[midnight crypt]

@tawny fern when the ironclad is done, they do need to work on the caterpillar so the command module would actually detach. So they might do something

[lone bloom]

IF the Ironclad comes with that feature

[tawny fern]

this was a couple months ago

[midnight crypt]

Both ironclad and command module is in gray box

[lone bloom]

Progress Tracker usually means nothing, it only confirms that they have not forgotten about it

I mean the ammunition types are according to the progress tracker done since 2023

And we still don't have them

[tawny fern]

imagine flying this thing around lmao

[lone bloom]

Herald MK2

[midnight crypt]

Can already fly it around. It’s just permanently attached to the caterpillar hull

[lone bloom]

[midnight crypt]

Trying to remember, isn’t the command module getting a tractor beam on it?

[tawny fern]

i know there's a tractor beam currently on the underside of the command module

[midnight crypt]

It would be so nice to never leave the command module. Land, open all doors, and pop off and move the cargo

[tawny fern]

i hope thats the intent

the current tractor beams on the cat are in terrible spots

and with the ironclad coming, it only makes sense

would make for convenient cargo confiscation too

[midnight crypt]

They should allow to hail the cargo elevator to go up and down so you’ll never have to leave it

[lone bloom]

So

Perseus with tractor beam right above the elevator?

[midnight crypt]

For the 50 SCU? Maybe if it held 52 SCU

[lone bloom]

wonder if its a 10x5 grid or something

nice and awkward

[lone bloom]

You can See the grid in the concept

Unless changed

[coarse cloud]

I’m pretty certain they will have upped it

Perseus looks bigger not sure by how much

But mabye a 64 grid

[jolly acorn]

two 24's would be nice, im sure we wont miss those 2 scu

[tawny fern]

big if true

[fallow wharf]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/527226679198744576/1132150824391417967/ED6EFBC5-A68E-48C6-9103-B123B1ECC22D.gif

[lone bloom]

Maybe, but either way, IF it is anywhere near the concept size of the cargo bay it will absolutely be in the three digit area offgrid, and more likely 400-600 SCU (offgrid ofc and only very well organized)

But someone (looks like someone with access to the files) apparantly already said that it appeared kinda small

[coarse cloud]

to be honest

If we can safely get 300 scu

On or off grid

I’m hyped

[lone bloom]

400 offgrid at the very minimum according to fleetviewer

just in the first floor

[coarse cloud]

wait seriously

what about the walkway?

[lone bloom]

thats why i said first floor

[coarse cloud]

that’s like 5m above the bay

[round zodiac]

they're always insisting that off-grid wont be a safe thign to do someday

[coarse cloud]

https://tenor.com/view/jon-stewart-eat-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-12567454887078541885

[lone bloom]

But aslong it works i gonna abuse the shit out of it

[round zodiac]

most secure hull B if you get 300something SCU in it

[coarse cloud]

cough cough - polaris during resource drive

[lone bloom]

If I remember correctly it was something around 680 ish SCU offgrid if you include both floors, but that does not take in account the angled walls nor walkway to the docking collar

[coarse cloud]

2500 SCU

[lone bloom]

Because of the angled walls and potential downsize i always say 400 SCU

Because thats quite a safe bet aslong 32 containers fit through but they kinda have to since a ursa fits on it very well and very spaceous on it too

(32 containers are just a tiny bit bigger than a ursa)

Either way, aslong it can smack 32 containers inside of it we cooking, don't wanna have the situation looking at 32 SCU of weevil eggs and not being able to take them

[midnight crypt]

Just have someone standing on the elevator with a max lift just holding it if it doesn’t fit

[round zodiac]

i wonder if itll be 48 on elevator, and 2 are ammo crate spots by the manned guns

[lone bloom]

in concept it was mainly next to the walls

and just a small grid on the elevator

since elevator space appears to be dedicated vehicle area

similar to Starlancer

[round zodiac]

none of hte concept arts show cargo instad of vehicle, afik

[lone bloom]

They do

[round zodiac]

it;ll probably just be a 5x5x2 monstrosity

[lone bloom]

Green = Cargo
Yellow = Vehicle

[round zodiac]

thatd be even more evil

since it blocks the walkway

[lone bloom]

so its many 1x2 spots (or 2x2 depending if its the full area around the green boxes)

but its exactly 50

if you count it

[fallow wharf]

I will make two ursa fit

[round zodiac]

i will make 4 fury fit

[lone bloom]

Two ursas + walkway + manouver space

or a shit ton of 32 containers

could just probably slap a nursa in some of the corners, and fill everything else up with cargo

But dunno if that works with the elevator since the elevator is quite big

[azure fulcrum]

I don't have any other option XDD

[lone bloom]

If the yellow space is likely the ursa size

[azure fulcrum]

ill just use handbrake lol

[lone bloom]

we will maybe be able to fit a storm inside

[round zodiac]

the elevator pillars will probbaly be used to block that

[lone bloom]

Well then you're forked

strategically limiting railings to block storm

[azure fulcrum]

handbrake made it 20MB lol

[lone bloom]

look the parking area for the ursa

the elevator is way larger

railings make it narrow

[lone bloom]

yeah but look at the nursa

the nursa is multiple meters away from them

[azure fulcrum]

PERCIUS INCUMMING

[round zodiac]

your pfp makes that line more menacing

[azure fulcrum]

@lone bloom eh you're right it kinda does become a slideshow it got stretched out too much. I had to try lol

[lone bloom]

told you

But nobody ever listens to me

[azure fulcrum]

yeah well even a broken clock is right twice a day ;p

[lone bloom]

PTU is infact

all waves

just checked

[azure fulcrum]

yipeeee

cunt wait to try laagggsski

now thats watching a slideshow alright

[lone bloom]

someone in my org chat said they fixxed the fps

apparantly

dunno how trust worthy that is doh

[midnight crypt]

Need to try interstellar cargo hauling

[lone bloom]

Roleplaying loot pinjata for the Perseus

I appreciate that

[round zodiac]

some people in the general chat here said 40fps levski

[lone bloom]

well thats better than the earlier 10 fps

[azure fulcrum]

percius

[lone bloom]

The holy salt mine

[azure fulcrum]

we all know when it hits live its gonna be back to 10FPS or worse

[lone bloom]

But only because everyone and their mom and grandmother will go there the first second the patch drops

Me a superior giga chad perseus Pilot

Will go and look around in my perseus first for the first 2 hours of the patch likely

And then cry the next 30 min after in the chat here that they fucked up the bridge

[lone bloom]

and copy pasted the captain room

from polaris

[round zodiac]

Perseyaaaas

[azure fulcrum]

so far the perseus bridge look kinda empty

kinda boring

[lone bloom]

Polarised

🤷‍♂️

[round zodiac]

SuPpOsEd To DeCoRaTe YoUr OwN

[lone bloom]

How when they FUCKING TOOK OUR DESKS

https://tenor.com/view/cry-crying-cat-crying-cat-cry-why-gif-27571714

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

they did infact fix the FPS

(not my gameplay)

[fallow wharf]

[timid wind]

ptu open to all

perseus this week

in ptu

totally

[round zodiac]

could be

[azure fulcrum]

heh

[round zodiac]

big ctrl-d energy

[lone bloom]

not gonna go PTU - never do, not gonna do the hassle with the files

[round zodiac]

you just rename LIVE... or ctrl-d and rename the copy if you want both

its not worth the hassle for HOTFIX. fair. but for a PTU for the next week or so

there is even a 'go to directory' button on the launher

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-quiet-gif-8316632

[azure fulcrum]

well going live might take another 2 weeks

uh I mean next week for IAE?

[lone bloom]

2 weeks they don't have

[round zodiac]

itll be LIVE on the 19th

[lone bloom]

9 days

[azure fulcrum]

right

[round zodiac]

gives them a window for hotfixes before the con con

[azure fulcrum]

holy shit we're only a week away

[round zodiac]

get scammed at con con

[azure fulcrum]

19th

[lone bloom]

9 days until perseus

at least on live

at latest

[round zodiac]

a week away if you dont count hours after rounding up the current day

elevators open at 0:00GMT right?

[azure fulcrum]

well I see a lot of comments shitting on idris in the spectrum thread

which makes sense because Idris is just a support frigate

[round zodiac]

yea, they thing 'capital' means 'do it all'. but htese are purpose built ships. Idris is a commander vessel with a railgun to stay far away. Polaris is a fighter Carrying torpedo barge

[coarse cloud]

na 16:00 UTC no?

[round zodiac]

dunno

[azure fulcrum]

isnt polaris more of a command vessel than idris?

[round zodiac]

!schedule

[coarse cloud]

That’s what ILW starts at

so idk

[round zodiac]

i see Idris as a tank you keep your brass in 5km from the fight, sending fighters and railguns shots into the fray

[coarse cloud]

they normally do British timings as British company so wouldn’t make huge sense for a midnight launch in uk

[round zodiac]

worlds largest hit and run vessel? XD

[azure fulcrum]

heh yeah

[coarse cloud]

The 890 takes that title

but more bump and run

or blow up and go nowhere if u touch one of its buggy spots

[azure fulcrum]

huh I can't find a Q&A page for idris

interior sneakpeek?

[midnight crypt]

Be another sneak peak of the clipper

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I'd say so

[midnight crypt]

All the ships that are coming IAE, only one in the trailer was the Perseus. So need more sneak peaks of the other ships

[azure fulcrum]

damn there is a good 7cm difference between male and female char model

that annoying guy on spectrum was probably right male model might be 190cm

average male height IRL is 171cm so kinda weird

[round zodiac]

back in ym day, only the Female model could use a Prospector

[azure fulcrum]

I guess everybody in the future has dutch genetics or som,ething

[round zodiac]

we're all airforce soldier types. so i guess we're all chads and chadettes

also people's heights are trending up since we have better nutrition

[azure fulcrum]

a lot of diary is consumed probably

[round zodiac]

hundreds of years of selective breeding

designer babies

also explains why no one is fat

[azure fulcrum]

you could just take human growth hormones when you're a teenager and that way you can grow taller

[round zodiac]

6pack hullC trucker

[azure fulcrum]

dairy contains growth hormones too

[azure fulcrum]

yeah that would explain it lol we're all just genetically engineered fleshbags

they added some new faces I see

[round zodiac]

first one is a cross breed with vanduul

[azure fulcrum]

that would be kinda sick if you could crossbreed

[lone bloom]

Its a vanduul with a human mask trying to be undercover

[azure fulcrum]

I would love a tevarin human crossbreed

[lone bloom]

furry being possible i see

Also - still want teverian crew

[azure fulcrum]

I have birdbrain and big balls thats why I need a tevarin character to represent me ingame

tevarin could probably use its beak as a melee weapon and its feet and claws

[lone bloom]

Just sadly doubt we gonna have something like that

simply because of armor reasons

and metrics

[azure fulcrum]

if armor is bespoke for a race

[humble anvil]

@lone bloom

[lone bloom]

Pretty much one stairs to the other stairs are the length

• • a few meters

[humble anvil]

end to end

[azure fulcrum]

ehh it could be RSI salvager stand

and percius be docked above

[lone bloom]

its exactly 100 meters

the salvager is a small starter salvage ship

[azure fulcrum]

like idris wus IAE

RSI Salvation

[lone bloom]

thats the starter salvager

Won't be bigger than a mantis

[azure fulcrum]

probably

[azure fulcrum]

yep it perfectly allignsthe circles with the landing gears

[lone bloom]

looks to me like the space between the gear shrunk

making the cargo bay smaller than originally expected

[midnight crypt]

Good. I can fit more onto the kraken

[azure fulcrum]

wtf why does the goatee points inwards

[humble anvil]

end of stair to end of stair

[lone bloom]

the hull is still larger or still 100 meters no difference there

[tawny fern]

im only 17% away from concierge

chat am i cooked

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/fish-gif-22511058

[midnight crypt]

But I might be able to have more over hang and somehow get a 4th Perseus on the kraken

[lone bloom]

Still heresy to put it on a drake ship

It may get infected with the rust

[heady escarp]

9 days left

[midnight crypt]

Landing gears might allow you to carry it on the liberator

[lone bloom]

Thats better

[lone bloom]

now put a vulture in the front

and use the interior as cargo space

and we ballin

[midnight crypt]

Park it on the Hull E cargo

[azure fulcrum]

lagski is looking great

[midnight crypt]

Also thought you don’t like Drake? Why not the new RSI salvage ship

[lone bloom]

too smol

and fortune is too inefficient

[tawny fern]

wait

what

you dont even know the actual size of the new salvage ship

[lone bloom]

its a starter salvager

lol

don't expect much other than mantis size

[tawny fern]

how is it too small

[lone bloom]

and we already saw the concepts

[azure fulcrum]

RSI salvation is such a dumb name for a salvager tho

[tawny fern]

compared to the vulture?

[azure fulcrum]

sounds like a hospital name

[lone bloom]

60% its size likely

maybe less

[tawny fern]

the thing i hate about the vulture is that STUPID ladder you have to climb up and down all the time to get to and from the cargo area

[midnight crypt]

RSI Sloppy Seconds is a way better name for a salvage ship

[azure fulcrum]

that server FPS 💀

I'll never go to lagski again

40fps my ass

[tawny fern]

what i really want is another ship like the cutter rambler, something you can claim from insurance instantly with a 2.2 scu quantum tank

[azure fulcrum]

most cringe place I've ever seen

[midnight crypt]

I just want the F8A already with 100SCU of quantum fuel

[azure fulcrum]

that goattee is cursed

[midnight crypt]

Functions as a normal goatee

[azure fulcrum]

wtf

lol so much for exclusivity

[humble anvil]

@azure fulcrum Ravit and i in hall

110 meters of room.

reckon cargo bay is only 10 meters long

[azure fulcrum]

sooo you're saying perseus could be up to 110 meters long?

[humble anvil]

they cant go further because the art is there

and it would push past hte wall

[lone bloom]

there is Exactly 110 meters space

[humble anvil]

it would push into the argo showing

[azure fulcrum]

could it be a little smaller than 110 meters? like 106m?

[lone bloom]

it will be

at least if a designer did his work

[humble anvil]

its legit 100meters

[lone bloom]

won't ever use the entire space

[humble anvil]

theres no way its 110 meters

Ravit

[azure fulcrum]

hell yeah gamer

[humble anvil]

go to the wall acrossed from me

[lone bloom]

106 would even be hard limit

[humble anvil]

on top of the stairs

[lone bloom]

2 meters on each side free space

to give room

[azure fulcrum]

Very interesting so its probably gonna be 100m then

[humble anvil]

Ravit go to the wall on top of the stairs directly on the other side

@lone bloom actually 110 meters lol

[lone bloom]

110.0

xD

[azure fulcrum]

nice

[lone bloom]

also the cargo bay shrunk

100%

it will be at max 15 m long

[humble anvil]

stand on front landing gear

in middle

[azure fulcrum]

what do you base that on?

[humble anvil]

in middle of circle

[azure fulcrum]

the position of the landing gear?

[lone bloom]

Because there isn't much space between the landing gears

and since the elevator is right next to the front landing gear minus 2 meters because of personal elevator

it will go at max to the R

[azure fulcrum]

ehh I suppose well measure the space between the landing gears then

[azure fulcrum]

personel elevator might be somewhere totally different tho

[lone bloom]

it might

but that only would give it 2+ meters roughly so nothing much

[humble anvil]

18 meters from cargo elevator star

[lone bloom]

to middle of landing gear

[azure fulcrum]

go measure the landing gear spacing

[humble anvil]

yeah dawg cargo elevator is like 10 meters

35 meters from front to back

[azure fulcrum]

from the rear landing gear to front landing gear

[humble anvil]

35 meters

[lone bloom]

but the cargo elevator doesn't go from front to back gear

[azure fulcrum]

then the cargo bay could be 35 meters

[humble anvil]

no

[lone bloom]

absolutely not

no shoot

[humble anvil]

from rear landing gear, to front landing gear is 35 meters.

[lone bloom]

mess hall, hallway, etc

wouldn't fit

[humble anvil]

Cargo Elevator starts about halfway from rear to front

maybe +5 meters each side

[azure fulcrum]

ehhhhh

you know how much apollo changed from concept so IDK

[lone bloom]

they saw the offgrid potential and said fuck no

[azure fulcrum]

its a bit hard to accept for me

[lone bloom]

rustle go to the middle of the R height wise

[azure fulcrum]

that would mean that ursa wouldn't fit anymore

like give me a break lol

[lone bloom]

15 meters

[humble anvil]

Elevator is 10 meters? Total 15 meters

[azure fulcrum]

ursa would barely fit

I don't follow

[humble anvil]

Good ship

[azure fulcrum]

IDK what you guys are talking about

[humble anvil]

Ursa is like 8 meter

7.7

[azure fulcrum]

yes

but the cargo bay is 15 meters according to you so the platform elevator is even smaller no?

IDK what you mean with 15m

the platform would probably be 10m max so it would barely fit

[lone bloom]

7.6x ~4.2 absolutely fits on a 10x10 platform?

storm would fit too

just like expected

[azure fulcrum]

wtf storm

[lone bloom]

the tank

[azure fulcrum]

egggh I still

nvm I'm not getting an answer

[lone bloom]

xD

[humble anvil]

We're kinda fumbling around

[lone bloom]

the fun part is

[humble anvil]

The max Size is 110 meters

[lone bloom]

we fucking don't know where the elevator sits in wideness

[humble anvil]

Rear to Front landing gear is 35 meters

[lone bloom]

compared to the landinggears

[azure fulcrum]

platform would be half of that so 7.5m

if what you guys say is correct

[lone bloom]

I mean it is obvious that they changed ALOT in terms of the cargo hold

[azure fulcrum]

how can it be any smaller than concept??? I don't understand

[lone bloom]

I mean the windows were a big giveaway

[azure fulcrum]

concept barely fits ursa as it is

[lone bloom]

that they changed it

[azure fulcrum]

exactly so what are you basing the cargo bay positioning on lol

[lone bloom]

The concept would fit multiple ursas wdym

[humble anvil]

RAVIT

[lone bloom]

at least the cargo bay itsself

[azure fulcrum]

barely

[humble anvil]

stand in line with me with the front landing gear

come to me until 17 meters

its gotta be 10 x 10

[lone bloom]

funny btw that they but a lynx infront of the percy instead of a nursa

[azure fulcrum]

do you mean the platform or the bay itself?

because if you say platform I would believe you

[humble anvil]

platform the lift

[lone bloom]

platform

[azure fulcrum]

gotcha ok then I would agree

[lone bloom]

and 10x10 is enough for a storm

[azure fulcrum]

then its exactly like concept

[lone bloom]

only height will be an issue xD

[humble anvil]

might be a

[lone bloom]

well they could still have slimmed down the cargo bay

[azure fulcrum]

[humble anvil]

10 x 15

cargo elevator

i think it is. 10 x 15

[lone bloom]

yeah wideness is rough to figure out because there is no concept picture showing it sideways

like, where the elevator things are compared to the landing gears

could be on the same height

could also not be

but it has to be larger than 8-9 meters for the Ursa to drive on there comfortably ig

[humble anvil]

well anyways

10 x 10 is a snug fit , but i just assume its a bit longer sideways right

and it kinda aligns

maybe its a 10 x 12

[lone bloom]

i mean you could just go on the same height as the other landing gear

if it should have the same height

no

23 meters okay no way xD

[azure fulcrum]

it has to be at least 10x10

and that would make the cargobay itself 15x15

[humble anvil]

10 x 13

we're geussing lol off of concept art

[lone bloom]

i expect it to be wider than its long simply because you drive from the side onto it

so 10x13 makes sense

[azure fulcrum]

the perspective makes one side look longer probably IDK if I can trust these measurements lol

but you could be right that its longer lengthwise

my measurements say yes

[lone bloom]

well took the landing gear insides as measurements

so that it alligns with the inside of the landing gears

so being a lil bit smaller

[humble anvil]

im getting off

[lone bloom]

and thats exactly 13

[humble anvil]

ravit anymore things u want to measure

wonder if the hammerhead is here

[lone bloom]

no but i didn't saw a paladin yet xD

[azure fulcrum]

I got kicked off

[lone bloom]

dunno where it is tho

[humble anvil]

hangar link broke

you know paladin is such a big ship

and then Perseus is like... 2 of them

[lone bloom]

Interior wise paladin is a bit dissappointing ngl

feels smol

compared to the exterior

[humble anvil]

Perseus is going to be really disappointing then

[round zodiac]

compact

[humble anvil]

It's biggggg

50-60 meter of interior

[lone bloom]

i mean compared to the Paladin it will be huge lol

[humble anvil]

It's like the Connie interior

[lone bloom]

+3 floors

[humble anvil]

But extra layers,

[lone bloom]

i expect it to be kinda larger interior wise than the Slancer

[round zodiac]

i havent spent enough time in the ships of the last couple years

[humble anvil]

The interior is legit the size of Star lancer

[lone bloom]

just with one floor more

[humble anvil]

Yeah

[lone bloom]

yk since they very likely slimmed down apparantly the cargo bay

[humble anvil]

And a big cargo area

[lone bloom]

Armory....?

[humble anvil]

Idk

[lone bloom]

i mean a dedicated armory room

[humble anvil]

It didn't really grow

[lone bloom]

prior i expected the main armory stuff to be in the cargo bay on the walls

but since those are now windows...

[humble anvil]

True

Yeah I was hoping they'd out components in there

[lone bloom]

and wasn't able to spot anything weapon rack through the windows either

[lone bloom]

i mean... engineering room will prob have all of them at that point

similar to the paladin layout

Bridge - hallway - every fucking component

[humble anvil]

That entire upper bridge housing everything is cool and all

Great for the engineer

I geuss it's one way to balance the ship

[lone bloom]

once nyx 1 drops i have to get an Lynx (ingame bought ofc)

oh thats new

The IAE hall has no bottom floor anymore?

[humble anvil]

@lone bloom

[azure fulcrum]

because of the diamond shape of the perseus I believe the interior will small

[humble anvil]

Crazy to think about

[azure fulcrum]

cozy tho

[humble anvil]

Very good interior

[lone bloom]

I mean, it will technically be smaller than the Hammerheads interior

but it will feel bigger

because its not just hallway

[azure fulcrum]

fuck why do you even mention hammerhead interior its nightmare fuel

[humble anvil]

Tiny compared to hammerhead

[azure fulcrum]

I hope it will be nothing like HH interior lmao

[lone bloom]

still walking around IAE hall because i never saw any ships since ILW (the new ones)

[humble anvil]

You're only using 2/3 rds of the Perseus interior

[lone bloom]

except TAC and Max ofc

[humble anvil]

And there's supposed to be ab elevator that's a straight shot to the bridge

[azure fulcrum]

torpedo room in the front will probably be like a corridor barely a room

[lone bloom]

the fortune is neat

[azure fulcrum]

just a catwalk in the middle with torpedo racks to the side

whaddya guys guess the SCU capacity of cargo bay will be?

[lone bloom]

i mean it will still be 50 or more

but its hard to guess the offgrid now

[azure fulcrum]

if it be 80 then I'd be very happy

I don't expect much

[lone bloom]

it will still fit 32 containers no question

but im unsure now about the 400 + scu

Maybe 4 32 containers?

maybe 6?

or 4 32 and 2 16

ofc no space for vehicle anymore then

so guys, we gonna go roc mining with perseus fleet?

[humble anvil]

Enough space to put cryopod vanduul

All that matters

[humble anvil]

No

[lone bloom]

also are there 2 drake ships announced?

[humble anvil]

Maybe roc mining when crafting demands it

[lone bloom]

because there are two empty spots

[humble anvil]

Yes

[lone bloom]

clipper and?

[azure fulcrum]

ox

[humble anvil]

Yes

[lone bloom]

whats the ox

not like i care about drake

[humble anvil]

Cargo

[lone bloom]

brother

can they do only cargo

[humble anvil]

Drake Golem Ox

[lone bloom]

oh golem variant...

[humble anvil]

That

[lone bloom]

nvm then

[azure fulcrum]

basically useless it only carries 32 scu

like a prowler utility but worse

[humble anvil]

How dare you

Useless?!?!

[lone bloom]

but I wonder, IAE were multiple halls fitting for the X day manufacture no?

[azure fulcrum]

32scu of manure

[humble anvil]

That's right

[azure fulcrum]

its like farm equipment

[lone bloom]

I forgot that we already have the X1 things xd

they don't even have a entrance or exit animation you just teleport onto it

[azure fulcrum]

I think all the halls have the same theme now not specific manufacturers

[lone bloom]

yeah noticed i think that was last year too

[azure fulcrum]

all ships be there except for the new ones that will come

[humble anvil]

Inb4 IAE QA : "Will there be conversion kits for the Perseus?"

[lone bloom]

ah sweet home

a 300I

(been my first upgrade)

[humble anvil]

Uh

Was that a comment

[lone bloom]

I remember that reply discussion

[humble anvil]

On your thread

[lone bloom]

I replied to it too

[azure fulcrum]

this guy just ragebaiting its funny

[lone bloom]

was the guy that provided the proof

[azure fulcrum]

xDDD

not much activity anymore

I want to troll spectrum and ragebait

but not get banned lol

[lone bloom]

mission impossible

[azure fulcrum]

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/65300?label=17364

so many perseus threads

this guy did the same thing lol

[lone bloom]

[lone bloom]

thats very good tho

[azure fulcrum]

very nice

[lone bloom]

like thats real good work

gives a lil bit of imagination how big it is

[azure fulcrum]

oh yeah

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/65300/thread/perseus-looks-too-promising-what-s-the-catch-now

there is no catch fuck off lol

[lone bloom]

I genuiely hope btw it has only one docking port

because it gets me confused in the polaris every time which side he wants now

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm the left side doesn't look like a docking port does it?

[lone bloom]

nope

you mean right side

xD
