Perseus Pals

[crystal sleet]

i imagine its just static with no animation

[steel thistle]

wonder if we can put the MDC in the perseus

open the cargo bay

and let it shoot from there

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[crystal sleet]

there probably wont be enough clearanvce for teh turrets to shoot through. The Lynx cant even drive off the elevator with its turret deployed

[lone bloom]

lol did anyone notice

you can shoot the remote turrets on the perseus from the remote gunner seats while First person?

[crystal sleet]

yes, its also like that on the zeus

pretty interesting, though it doesnt wok because it doesnt give you the auto aim circle when not in turret cam iirc

[lone bloom]

(Wolf)

[azure fulcrum]

Wtf

[crystal sleet]

dual multi wield

[steel thistle]

💔💔💔

“heavy gunship” smh

can’t even do that

[crystal sleet]

my Perseus cant install a nova tank for a third gun? Fuckin scam

[lone bloom]

The lynx can go into the elevator with turret deployed

it just... bonks it slightly

[crystal sleet]

in seriousness, you probably can but youll probably have shit firing arcs

[lone bloom]

Also when Fix that Storm doesn't get purpled anymore in Perseus?

[azure fulcrum]

Perseus kit when?

[crystal sleet]

s8 laser cannons! Make us sacrifice literally every other pips for the guns

[humble anvil]

It could do it but the capacitors are shit and wouldn't be good unless CiG made it good

I geuss we'll get kits ILW, maybe next IAE

[azure fulcrum]

Gib gattling s8

[humble anvil]

Gatlings would be fun

Shame we didn't get them

Repeaters too

[crystal sleet]

i managed to get up to 54 shots with panthers on all the ports, had to give the boost minimum pips and two pips off coolers and shields

[humble anvil]

Instead of focusing on Perseus role, they made this broad ship

Tryna please everyone

Is so cool but also kinda shit

[azure fulcrum]

Ye

[humble anvil]

We could of gotten a very strong niche ship for big ships and really drive home the Cannon's potential

But we get alt fire n gotta gimp back a bit I geuss

Perseus Lowkey brawling with fighters is so funny

[crystal sleet]

esp when the gunners manage to line up a medusa shot

[humble anvil]

Oh they did have weapon kit for them

[steel thistle]

yeah of course

[crystal sleet]

for the Perseus?

or teh wolf

[humble anvil]

Wolf

Wow Chris

[steel thistle]

mdc on thursday 🔥🔥

[humble anvil]

Missed opportunity for a S8 weapon kit

So sad

[crystal sleet]

lol yeah, got the ballistic kit for the l22 wolf, not a single new money spent

[crystal sleet]

ILW 2026, trust

[humble anvil]

I frickin pray we get a Perseus PDC weapon Kit and it comes with another paint

Gonna be really weird if they don't have a PDC kit for Idris, Polaris, and Perseus

But then what about reclaimer? 890? Phoenix?

[crystal sleet]

they PDCs will probably just be buyable ingame

[humble anvil]

They gotta sell them individually

In 4.5

Unless the hotfix will add em in

[azure fulcrum]

🤡

[azure fulcrum]

Og concept ballastic pdc kit including og paint

Thatd be 150 buckerino sir

Scam citizen

[crystal sleet]

imagine they remove the vk00 and replace it with a civilian QT

[desert gorge]

i swear to god imma go Cry if they do an IDRIS-M kit with the new pdcs and railgun kekw

that be so damn funny

[lone bloom]

Also cooking again a new perseus banner

Inspired from the Clipper Thumbnail

[tawny fern]

🙌

now we can finally play the game

[rancid copper]

the value on this is crazy

sq42 + 3 bis paints damn

[round zodiac]

yea, mine is just sq42 and 1 BIS (and ardent)

[round zodiac]

also glad my XL hangar from Reclaimer (and Polaris) is gone

[humble anvil]

Yeah that extra large hanger was a piece of s***

[minor field]

Only 2 days until torrents

[azure fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/CGGCxz8bW0E?si=X9XR3GOhWRHdAztc

Antilles allegro and nightide fuuuuyyhck

[tawny fern]

these paints look insane

much better than the perseus ones lmao

[azure fulcrum]

So good

[tawny fern]

oh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxx84fzgGvE

[azure fulcrum]

They look worse on l21

[tawny fern]

riftwalker looks really good on the l-22

the blue trim

[azure fulcrum]

Fuck the l21 it has half the missiles less capacitor and less maneuvering

[tawny fern]

the little winglets just do it for me

and NO fin is just

👌

[azure fulcrum]

Fuck it does... But concierge lol

Nighttide look sick as well

[tawny fern]

yeah

rare "cig can make black paints" moment?

[lone bloom]

ugh again only hangar video xD

people do not learn

ofc its by ruben thats why

[lone bloom]

Ye I do prefer the base paint ngl

[tawny fern]

the guns are so red

geez

[lone bloom]

I guess the paint doesn't look that bad - but only in comparison to the other paints they offered lmao

[tawny fern]

im assuming the pic is edited but yeah it looks pretty good

[desert gorge]

This ship os soooo fking busted its insane 😂
I ise the Warbond paint i pref blackish colour <_< but i like the wolf alot hehe

[tawny fern]

yeah this is a fun ship

and the lasers are really strong

[lone bloom]

Worth testing assumably?

[tawny fern]

i did a couple combat gauntlets its nice

[lone bloom]

MRT Level like?

[tawny fern]

i did 3 and 4

i can try mrt

[desert gorge]

I did pvp alot

Its dump strong 🫠
Weapons are basicly S4 NDBs

[lone bloom]

did anyone test if it fits in percy

xD

[desert gorge]

I would doubt it

[humble anvil]

im listening to someone fire off the wolf

sounds good

TINGITNGITNGITNGITGNITNIGNTIGNITNG

now the question is

fuck they're s4

nvm

be cool to rip them off slap em on the persy but

xdd

[tawny fern]

they almost sound like tie fighter guns lol

[lone bloom]

Shiv/greys market Perseus

[humble anvil]

yeah that would be the best

but UNFORTUNATELY

[lone bloom]

@humble anvil they had more than enough space for an extra shield btw

That one beneath the shield is just decorative stuff

[humble anvil]

tells me they were considering it but ran into 1 little problem

1 itty bitty problem

then they have to add another powerplant

@lone bloom this could been a powerplant too

BUT NOOOO

[lone bloom]

not really

we have 3 battery free slots

one is directly on the other side of the wall of said shield

could've just used one battery slot

[humble anvil]

we have 3 batteries?!

[lone bloom]

yes

[humble anvil]

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[lone bloom]

wait

give 1 sec

ah nvm

[humble anvil]

its life support n bs

[lone bloom]

the one is gravity

so we have 2 batteries

but the one battery is right infront of the shield i was just speaking about

[humble anvil]

yeah cargo elevator

[lone bloom]

also here could've easily had a powerplant space

moving the fire thing next to the door instead

and easy space

[humble anvil]

YUP

i tink they were planning it and decided against it

tbh

[lone bloom]

and MRT is easy with the alpha wolf lol

Still weird that they kinda nerfed the "enemies" on bounties

[tawny fern]

welp

perseus/galaxy/clipper/alpha wolf

until cig releases some other ridiculously cool ship

[lone bloom]

you mean for BIS? Or for yourself? xd

[tawny fern]

for myself

with how cig organized the brackets, ultimately they'll just set it up however they want

[lone bloom]

well don't see a huge need for a clipper if you have a Galaxy tho?

[tawny fern]

clipper just for hathor

and asd

[azure fulcrum]

dang you got the concept paint

I just got home 😭 still haven't decided on paint

[tawny fern]

alpha wolf is really cool but i have a soft spot for 325a

idk riftwalker looks kinda whack on l-22 lmaop

default looks good because the lasers are red, so it all matches

[azure fulcrum]

it looks grey not black that kinda sucks

[tawny fern]

yeaaaa

[azure fulcrum]

I have the porco rosso one wonder what that loks liek

[tawny fern]

probably really good

apparently the ballistics on the L-21 color match, the lasers dont color match

[lone bloom]

well

did you expected a "Black" paint

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

[azure fulcrum]

wonder if nightshade or whatever its called is better ingame

but no concierge

[tawny fern]

does spviewer show atmo performance?

[rancid copper]

no

[lone bloom]

May have to redo my 1.0 plenge/+ ingame buy plan with the IAE releases now

[azure fulcrum]

Y u want to be the alpha wolf?

[azure fulcrum]

what changed?

[lone bloom]

Ships

[azure fulcrum]

in your plan that you have to buy other ships

what ships

alpha wolf?

[lone bloom]

Ingame not plenge

Also prior plan had only the starlancer as my plenge lol

[lone tundra]

tempting tbh

[tawny fern]

wtf

[azure fulcrum]

dooood

gib

50$ and that doesn't include the wolf XD

gotta try all the skins ingame for myself

just to be sure

[lone bloom]

But yes the Alpha Wolf is included in that list

[rancid copper]

how

[lone tundra]

It's pretty rough in a giftable chain tbh

[lone bloom]

Read her name lmao

[rancid copper]

nvm i can build the same one

[azure fulcrum]

alpha wolf 4 life dont need to gift

until the M-69 Kruger Cougar medium fighter releases

and that becomes the new meta lmao

[lone tundra]

Yeah I might actually push a referral to it at a later date. STV -> L-22 would be $45 which is a fair price for a light fighter IMO

[rancid copper]

no mediums gonna become meta boss

unless they get f7a old tuning

[azure fulcrum]

damn those black magic ancient h4x0r CCUs that we plebs don't have

[lone tundra]

yeah

[azure fulcrum]

FML

[humble anvil]

see here bob

this is just a fraction of RMTer's power

i mean reseller

not rmt

just think dude people like Iris x10 level

[lone tundra]

yeah, can't call me an RMTer since I literally never login to the actual game rofl

[humble anvil]

the store game is more fun than the actual game

ITS CRAZY

[azure fulcrum]

IKR

I'm just buying random shit because

[humble anvil]

uh

WELL i mean,

[lone tundra]

consider Hull B -> Defenders for a potential reverse buyback play

buy them, melt them immediately when you can

buyback if Hull B moves to 210

Free real estate to Railen uplift.

[azure fulcrum]

oh god my bird brain can't comprehend that move

[humble anvil]

mmmm won't ccu also adjust in price frmo buyback

[azure fulcrum]

if you buyback that CCU after price bump how much is it in buyback?

[lone tundra]

Hull B -> Defender [current] = $80
Hull B (210) -> Defender (220) = $10 buyback, still valid due to not eclipsing 220 orig. target
+
Defender/other 220 -> Railen $5 -> victory

[azure fulcrum]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOL

gotcha XD

hahahahahhah yes of course

[lone tundra]

just soaks a shitload of credit to cycle them into buyback, so be careful

[azure fulcrum]

it also works if the ccu gets less expensive

[azure fulcrum]

I have enough store credit lol

[lone tundra]

I'm down to like $1k float :( but I keep building ships which is starting to really lock things down

[azure fulcrum]

only 1k float damn

got 400 float rn lol

[humble anvil]

damn

i'd love to do that Iris but dont have the capital in creds anymore

smart girl

[azure fulcrum]

I wish we could put creds on capitals

[humble anvil]

very clever

damn thats so fucking big brain

[azure fulcrum]

can hull A potentially work in this plan too? I don't think it'll pass 140?

[azure fulcrum]

bird brain vs big brain xD

[humble anvil]

god damn

[azure fulcrum]

thx big brain

[humble anvil]

yeah then just melt it

[azure fulcrum]

[humble anvil]

fucking hell

[lone tundra]

You wouldn't need to do it for the Hull A.

It'll likely just move to 100 - I do suspect it's eventual price will be 125 but it likely needs improvements to get there, so it won't be anytime soon IMO.

[azure fulcrum]

ohh

hull B likely gonna be sooner than railen

[lone tundra]

Yep, would be surprised if we don't have it by April

[azure fulcrum]

cuz its easier to make copy pasta scaled up hull A

[humble anvil]

fuck

[azure fulcrum]

thats a genius move thx Iris

[humble anvil]

Heeeeyyyy Iris.. 🥺

I'll give it back in 24 hrssss

[azure fulcrum]

lets hope CIG won't fuck us

[lone tundra]

For that, there's some more intense calculations I gotta do, honestly

You can try to insulate the Hull B -> Railen stage 1 increases; keep the links; and additionally hold through stage 2

There's gonna be some major shakeups on that so keep an eye out.

[azure fulcrum]

you never know with CIG

[lone tundra]

It'll depend on where these prices go for stage 1. From there, it should set the stage for our new pricing paradigm

[humble anvil]

i need to get one in buyback but dont want to give CIG $80

[lone tundra]

melt something =p

[humble anvil]

i sold all the creds off xdddddddddddddddddd

[azure fulcrum]

I wonder whether I should keep my vulture warbond CCU and stuff inbetween hull B and railen now

[lone tundra]

I wouldn't do that >_> never take a loss

60% of what you paid = bad
300% of what you paid = good

[humble anvil]

welllllll you seeeee i wasnt very smart

because i thought i'll just stick to picking up a wb every now and then

but going from hull b to banu throwing in buyback, banu to railen

is so fucking mega brain

[lone tundra]

Can also be Terrapin or Terrapin Medic, all up to your preferences

[humble anvil]

I'll give you 20$ if you can toss the creds, and i'll give the creds back tomorrow. xdddd

[lone tundra]

(Make sure to get the [220] -> Railen connections to match though)

[azure fulcrum]

I wanna upgrade my referral gladius 90$ to alpha wolf 120$ but the likelihood of there being a warbond in that range is tiny and even if there was one it would be very little savings no? @lone tundra

[lone tundra]

Gladius -> Reliant Mako -> Cutlass Black WB gets you to 110, then $10 soak to L-22

[humble anvil]

or we can trade, i'll give you the salvation lti if you can peep me the creds. 😭

[lone tundra]

It's against the rules to openly talk about this stuff here you know ;p I also don't do trades or anything, tbh usually the stuff I hand out to people here is absolutely free

[azure fulcrum]

huh you can't go from gladius to cutty WB directly?

[humble anvil]

😭

You're a good person, all good

i dont want to give chris more money

lol

so prob just cope

[lone tundra]

I'd just skip that maneuver and ride the price increase directly

If it moves to 220, the buyback play is toast, and it's a bit more likely that it will go to 220 than 210

It's just extra insulation for flexibility

[azure fulcrum]

its a gamble but if you have the store credit to spare its worth lol

[lone bloom]

Looks at Perseus

wonder if thats the most visited clubhouse by iris

[lone tundra]

yeah this one has always been real chill

[tawny fern]

[lone bloom]

Until you give aqua Maze

[lone bloom]

Then this happens

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-22727788

[lone tundra]

Tempted to give up on my Hammerhead plan and build a second Perseus lol

[tawny fern]

idk about you guys but most of the channels in this discord have some pretty stuck up or passive aggressive characters

[lone bloom]

Iris giving a tbh this on that, while also being staff

Ironic

[azure fulcrum]

yeah people always hate and argue with me everywhere else, I feel accepted here Perseus Pals is my gang

[lone tundra]

Luckily I'm not a mod or I'd have to be that stuck up person lmao

[lone bloom]

Wait until we somehow summon that one dude again

[azure fulcrum]

what dude? I only see blocked messages lol

[lone bloom]

Exactly that one

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

[tawny fern]

hahahaha

[lone bloom]

What do you think about the Galaxy, given that its likely 'weaker' in its role than most dedicated ships?

[azure fulcrum]

get arrastra instead

[lone bloom]

Its the first ship on the list of ingame purchases what do you expect more than this

[lone tundra]

I've consistently held to my calculations from years ago on it, it's bad - real bad, honestly

Once the Arrastra came out a year later, it was dead to me

[azure fulcrum]

I'm working on arra chain, messaged this dude for a 600iE>M2 warbond but he hasn't responded

[lone bloom]

I mean fair, Refining Module is like fully useless, and cargo likely too assoon you have a arrastra, but what about the Medical and Basebuild module?

"Get a pioneer"

[lone tundra]

Don't know the specs or details of any of the base building stuff. It will likely be the thing that sells it though. The medical is useless, since it's now being thrown into any and every powercreep ship that comes out

[azure fulcrum]

need prowler>600iE and maybe some warbond C2 but then it should be enough

[lone bloom]

I mean it has T1 beds, so far only Carrack, Idris (again?) and Apollo have that

[lone tundra]

Should just be the Apollo now. I checked the Idris on the new patch, T2 now

somehow capitals with medical facilities the size of the apollo don't get T1

[lone bloom]

lol, Idris was T1 then T2 i saw it going back again to T1 and now again T2??

[azure fulcrum]

You'd only need that many T1 beds if you're in a large org and need a mobile respawn point tbh

[lone tundra]

but it's whatever

[lone bloom]

Basebuild module will likely have 2-4 L Drones

• alot of cargo capacity

[humble anvil]

and Arrastra could change or grow

[lone tundra]

pre-IAE2955 vs planned post-IAE2955

[tawny fern]

jesus christ

talk about cleaning house

[lone bloom]

Is the "post" IAE the left one? xD

[azure fulcrum]

why do you need multiple basebuilding drones when you're just playing with a few friends tho?

[lone bloom]

What did you do with all the ships?

[lone tundra]

[lone bloom]

Building multiple houses/defences etc at once

[lone tundra]

I built giftable chains for a reason

Always keep an 'out'.

[lone bloom]

kinda surprised you don't have a Arra

[azure fulcrum]

you picked up jav this IAE?

[lone bloom]

"pre" IAE

[lone tundra]

Had it from last year's IAE

[lone bloom]

it was before this IAE

[azure fulcrum]

but its gone now?

[lone tundra]

It was resting in buyback yeah

just never gonna get it out now

[azure fulcrum]

oooooo now I understand

[lone bloom]

Also having at least 2 drones is very... convinient, afterall you need to build a reactor/ something that generates energy

To run your base

[azure fulcrum]

thats sad javalin is like a bigger badder perseus lol

[lone bloom]

If you have like...50+ crew people

[azure fulcrum]

you need 2 drones for building a reactor?

[lone bloom]

No but its convinient to be able to build a reactor, and something else at the same time?

so you can instantly power it

[azure fulcrum]

probably won't be that bad until whenever they do actually make multicrew meaningful (if ever)

[azure fulcrum]

I guess lol

[lone tundra]

I think I'd rather keep an Idris + Kraken than a Javelin, more flexible, same total price including both Idris kits

[lone bloom]

I mean with one drone you have to build the reactor likely first, with 4 Drones you can build reactor, hub, shield, and maybe a defence tower all at once

More than halfing the build time for a base

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm I guess so, jav is only a big gunship doesn't have a hangar even

[lone bloom]

it does have a hangar

next to the bridge tower

[azure fulcrum]

.>

LOL nvm then

[lone bloom]

Place for a redeemer so far ik

[lone bloom]

....

or a connie ig

[azure fulcrum]

wtf

you put a gunship inside of a gunship?

https://tenor.com/view/xzibit-meme-inception-gif-13033570

[lone bloom]

Gunfiction

[azure fulcrum]

mind blown xD

[lone bloom]

and on that gunship you have a snub fighter

and multiple furies in the hangar of it too

[azure fulcrum]

seems pretty versatile to me xD

[lone bloom]

The only bad part about the Javelin is prob that you can't "really" go into atmosphere with it

[azure fulcrum]

just the crew count is gonna be a lot more

[azure fulcrum]

oh but idris can?

[lone bloom]

Yes

Javelin just falls like a rock from the sky

(except on Orison)

https://tenor.com/view/heyy-gif-928885423345838263

[azure fulcrum]

I vaguely remember something about BMM being the biggest hauler that can land on planets and idris being the bigges ship that can land on planets?

is that correct?

[lone bloom]

Kraken is bigger

and can land on planets too

[azure fulcrum]

ooooo

and pioneer too of course

[lone bloom]

Would be bad if not

xD

[azure fulcrum]

XDD

[lone tundra]

cheatsheet for all the capitals, fucked up the color scheme but added notes to compensate

outlined ones cannot land

er, should be unladen, to be able to land - cannot land while laden

[azure fulcrum]

hmm its not that bad then

kraken and pioneer look like the biggest ones

kinda feel silly for getting rid of my 350 bmm

[lone tundra]

Pioneer should end up being the most capable planet lander of those tbh - massive VTOLs, and a shitload of them (and it's designed to land to mine, part of the actual usage rather than just a capability)

[azure fulcrum]

could be a nice versatile hauler / multirole cap

crew capacity doesn't seem that high

[lone bloom]

Still feels weird that the BMM costs less than a Polaris

less than a Perseus even

[azure fulcrum]

I'm still not convinced that BMM is gonna be good tbh

there is a lot they can fuck up

[lone bloom]

dual S8 as pilot guns

also

It is

[azure fulcrum]

yeah thats kinda sick

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/awe-wow-shining-cute-sparkle-gif-7408254600783268036

[humble anvil]

there's no bullet drop in space!

[lone bloom]

Also for someone like rustle that thing may be great (player to player trading)

[azure fulcrum]

damn it can mine and refine to use as building materials? lol no wonder its so big

[lone bloom]

they fixxed it?

[azure fulcrum]

DUDE yogi fixed???? the comment you linked here from yogi?

was that it XD

[lone bloom]

Kinda funny - you can just land with a pioneer, and instantly mine and refine the resources you need to build the base in the same second

[humble anvil]

doesnt seem like any drop at all

i dont know let me re adjust and shoot maybe upwards or something

i am shooting down at the perseus

[azure fulcrum]

this comment?

[azure fulcrum]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[humble anvil]

thats in gravity

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but maybe he fixed it in space also

because of that comment xD

[humble anvil]

they dont fix it that fast lol

[azure fulcrum]

this is HUGE

[humble anvil]

there wasnt even a hotfix

[azure fulcrum]

there was a patch for me

[lone bloom]

There was a hotfix

just downloaded it today too

[humble anvil]

oh

i wonder then

[azure fulcrum]

.... wow the implications this has

[humble anvil]

wonder if they squeeze the xml tweak in lol

[azure fulcrum]

you can just snipe un-aggro'd NPCs

XD

kite

kite caps that sort of silly shit

[humble anvil]

wait

nah ai will aggro xd

[azure fulcrum]

once they're hit

but then you already have 100 more shells lined up

with 800m/s

[lone bloom]

you sure they aggro? Pretty sure there was a time they do not aggro if they hit - only if they detect you

[azure fulcrum]

thats how I solo a hammerhead with gladius

[lone bloom]

not like... perseus would be stealthy

but also Perseus doesn't need that methode either xD

Most ships are dead before they even get in firing range

[azure fulcrum]

Perseus has a very bright future ahead just wait and see

CIG knows ^

[lone bloom]

Wonder how fast the S8s will be able to power plant kill capitals

Imagine you as engineer on a idris

ANd suddenly a shell just flies past you the size of your own body

[lone bloom]

Where is that written? Store Page?

[azure fulcrum]

yeah

[lone bloom]

Which reminds me

We still don't have a gif from the Hammerhead scene

https://tenor.com/view/peepo-peepo-riot-riot-protest-peepo-angry-gif-21768097

[humble anvil]

2.5k

1km

Chris i would like to have a word

I would like to have a genuine word

Meanwhile Lasers: BEAM

[azure fulcrum]

that sucks

yogi get to work damn it!

[lone bloom]

even on one KM????

[azure fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/richard-attenborough-whip-whipped-whiplash-whiplashed-gif-16685949900343051341

[lone bloom]

it has 5+km range

and bullet drop at like 700 meters?

the fuck?

[azure fulcrum]

he better fix it soon

[lone bloom]

at least they fixxed the sound crash (I think? didn't test it yet)

That one was really... annoying and critical

[azure fulcrum]

slightly better

[humble anvil]

let me just make sure im not

being stupid

[azure fulcrum]

weird stuff

this skin texture looks really good

it's metallic paint like a car

holy shit it looks good

default paint is just glossy

[lone bloom]

Imagine how all of those paints will drastically look different once Raytracing is there

[azure fulcrum]

oh yeah

this is why you have to inspect paints yourself cuz "content creators" too lazy

[lone bloom]

Esp that one will look different

[azure fulcrum]

oh yeah can't wait to try it under different lighting

just trying the rental wolf but I can already tell I'm 100% going to CCU my referral glad to this

the gun sounds are eargasmic

engine sounds ohhh

a bit noisy

could be annoying over time XD

[lone bloom]

Maybe black paints will also appear then black

(prob not) with RT

[azure fulcrum]

I have no concierge to try 😭

[lone bloom]

But Imagine walking through Perseus with Global Illumination and Raytracing

[azure fulcrum]

I think the lighting in perseus is already impressive lol

[lone bloom]

But it could be better

[azure fulcrum]

o yeah

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

[azure fulcrum]

if ur idle speed the engine sounds amazing

if you're accelerating there is this weird vibrating sound going on

[lone bloom]

i mean you're literally sitting next to the engine

[azure fulcrum]

yeah thats probably why lol

O wait the vibrating sound is only when boosting

[lone bloom]

Well its the hull vibrating

you have that on every ship so far ik

Just kinda funny that you almost black out if you front boost with the wolf

while Perseus nothing happens black out wise

[azure fulcrum]

razor EX is even worse

[tawny fern]

me when beam kit for perseus is announced

[lone bloom]

Just instantly passing out

[tawny fern]

ok i think

perseus/galaxy/clipper/325a will be my final pledged fleet for now

everything else i just have fun playing with using store credit

[lone bloom]

i thought wolf

[tawny fern]

yeah i used it

and i really dont think i'd use it all that much

its cool but

not pledge cool

its store credit cool

[azure fulcrum]

I just did my first alpha dogfight

[tawny fern]

but thats just me idk

[azure fulcrum]

2 things come to mind

Powercreep

Fun

fun because agile and speedy asf

powercreep because you just melt anything in your sight with those guns

[lone bloom]

yeah MRT is very easy with it, HRT is rough

[azure fulcrum]

yep alt+F4 go to pledge store

[lone bloom]

Because there are too many that shoot you

[lone bloom]

[lone tundra]

ended up making a second one

[tawny fern]

whats better than one perseus

[minor field]

Ship-to-ship dock 3 perseus and make mega s8 battleship

[azure fulcrum]

XDDD

[lone bloom]

That was a very fast decision

175

[lone bloom]

For combat arguably probably only a fully crewed Idris M

[lone tundra]

I moved the shitty Carrack I built up to it

[lone bloom]

I mean carrack was and probably always will be shit in the first place

And what you do now with two percy, again a spare one ? xD

Or Polaris CCU?

[lone tundra]

I'll look at them while wondering what I'm even doing anymore before getting rid of it

[lone bloom]

The suffering of too many choices of ships xD

https://tenor.com/view/the-muppets-kermit-the-frog-smh-shake-my-head-no-gif-20084471

[humble anvil]

mfw you could sell that for so much profit

*whistles

gyad damn

[lone bloom]

Prob already did with the majority of the other ships

[azure fulcrum]

I'm just testing different skins under different conditions lmao taking a long time

not a fan of camo but this one aint bad

I think it would look good on perseus

[lone bloom]

Wasnt there one similar to this

[azure fulcrum]

not really

the thundercloud has the shit metal grey and too much contrast between the colors

interesting so the porco rosso isn't just your standard glossy it's a metallic finish

really nice red

metallic looks even better in space

IDK man this is pretty amazing

the reflections wo

[lone bloom]

Wolf getting the paint i made for the perseus ... okay cig

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpshit-mad-gif-12826934952903770254

Or better said we made since i still used your purple base

[azure fulcrum]

the metallic is chefs kiss fr we need that on perseus

[raven jetty]

Oh man, that looks sick.

[azure fulcrum]

I got 2 more skins to try... but the red one is HARD to beat I'm telling ya

did 2 yellow foxwell missions and I'm already out of ammo

[lone bloom]

Glad they did not fuck up the ammo count in perseus

Imagine it wouldve been only like 100 bullets

[humble anvil]

Mm

100 giant fuck you bullets

20k Alpha per hit

[azure fulcrum]

XD

[humble anvil]

50k!!!!

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

Honestly

They balance it for tomorrow game

Needs lots of ammo to pen for powerplant. Ammo count better than big damage

Especially if we can never hit

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

oh boy this is gonna be a hard choice this looks sick 😩

[humble anvil]

Okay self aware, you should know you're in Perseus chat

Ahem

This is the holy Doritos affinity, not the Pringles dingle

Who gave us this uncrustable

Forbidden Pizza Roll

https://tenor.com/view/sml-marvin-pizza-rolls-totinos-pizza-rolls-eating-gif-17014319439615274475

[azure fulcrum]

its just amazing how we don't have skins like this on perseus

the blue skin is kinda fucked tho it has pixelated parts

and the metallic isn't as pronounced

and I'm not nitpicking it's literally everywhere

[humble anvil]

This mfer

[lone bloom]

Wants to talk about dorito but posts a square after

[azure fulcrum]

I'm making spectrum thread CIG you done me wrong again

[humble anvil]

Forbidden Pizza Roll

[lone bloom]

The bigger square

[azure fulcrum]

how is this acceptable?

[lone bloom]

"All Wolf paints are great i cant decide" vs " all perseus paints are "okayish" i cant decide"

[azure fulcrum]

they're not even okayish I just went with resilient because its the least bad

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

resilient is flawed but OK no

it's good enough. for now

😭

[lone bloom]

White radar ball

[azure fulcrum]

ruined!

[humble anvil]

Wolf being 1/30th the size of a Perseus

Expect the paints to be good

[azure fulcrum]

have some pixelated texture that's 7$

[lone bloom]

I just hope next year bis will be great paints and if perseus winns we can decorate our captain Quarter with a little perseus model

[lone bloom]

The fuck

How does that even happen

[azure fulcrum]

it's everywhere every corner every part FUCK

triggereeeeeed

only on the blue skin tho

[lone bloom]

Also there is a minor design flaw in perseus captain Quarter

[humble anvil]

Oh great

Here we fuckin go

[lone bloom]

Yeah

[humble anvil]

CIG

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

Hahahha

@CIG

[humble anvil]

Chris, no more concept ships

[lone bloom]

Yeah just watch the Morphologis Video about perseus and skip to the captain quarter

[humble anvil]

I wonder how much new money will stop coming in

Or new money will come in

[lone bloom]

One minor flaw and one kinda bigger one, aslong you care about rp

[humble anvil]

The camera be like xd

[lone bloom]

The minor one is that the grey color from a wall just hard connects to blue on the ground - and the other one is why is the Personal "room" of the captain not separated

From his office

Like carrack, or 890, or polaris just with a milky glass

[lone bloom]

So the Red one it is

[azure fulcrum]

I still got to try the silver gold one but ye...

[azure fulcrum]

red one with lasers equiped and rattlers it seems like

the lasers are so much better its not even funny

[lone bloom]

nobody cared about the perseus thing i see

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/kill-it-with-fire-missiles-more-missiles-all-the-missiles-megas-xlr-gif-25111969

[static cape]

this is for perseus

[humble anvil]

Bro has people in his office, takes a shit, doesn't elaborate, everyone hears the bubbles

[lone bloom]

Please just take a seat there i will be right back just walks to toilet

[humble anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/star-citizen-pain-boom-poop-shit-gif-27674062

[lone bloom]

And has his star kitten Overall still on his bed

[azure fulcrum]

meh

[lone bloom]

Did you know that the perseus Trailer is apparantly a part of a Mini series? First the polaris getting in a fight with a idris, then release of idris a video about the idris k destroying the escort of said polaris and attacking the polaris

And now the perseus supporting the polaris against the idris just to fight against the vanduul

[azure fulcrum]

I'm just analyzing different textures and colors of the wolf paints to see what would look good on perseus FYI

;0

[lone bloom]

And the captain of the percy being the son of the captain of the polaris

[humble anvil]

Just for a Drake Kraken to roll in with 50 ships

[lone bloom]

[humble anvil]

And clean up

[lone bloom]

But the Kraken has for some reason already a Trailer no

[azure fulcrum]

oh so the idris, perseus and polaris video are all connected

[lone bloom]

Guess the series continues with the mauler release

[lone bloom]

Yes

[humble anvil]

Mauler release gonna be pelting the fucking Perseus n etc

[azure fulcrum]

ugly garbage vanduul ship

[azure fulcrum]

it won't ingame cause vanduul suck balls lol

[lone bloom]

Yeah they have so many nice cool vanduul ships

And they take the ugliest

[humble anvil]

Idris gonna get bombed to fuck

[lone bloom]

Probably

[humble anvil]

Split in half while Perseus limps home

Watch

[lone bloom]

Wonder how long they plan those Videos in advance

Since they can only do them once the ship is ready too

[azure fulcrum]

it's really quick and easy to do missions in orison, I'm convinced its the best home base

[humble anvil]

Probably just fitting em in whenever. After all they're paid to come up with creative ideas to incorporate a ship into the flow in a believable way

[lone bloom]

Thats why its my home Planet since they reduced the atmosphere

[humble anvil]

We just non chalantly think about it

Randomly

[lone bloom]

Also higher chances of space battle contracts

Than atmo

Since there are no contracts in the Atmosphere of orison

At least bounty wise

[azure fulcrum]

just one QT and you're there lol

[lone bloom]

Worst you can get is moon Atmosphere

But still better than Planet like hurston or arccorp

[azure fulcrum]

hard pass on the blue skin for me

[lone bloom]

I mean maybe they had a rough idea starting with polaris, i mean they knew at that point internally probably already that the idris and after perseus will come

[lone bloom]

And maybe soon the struggle Beginns again for you

Once they release the other percy paints

[azure fulcrum]

really love this aesthetic but it also has the pixel bug

the best metallic one so far

[lone bloom]

At that point could call it micro digi camo

[azure fulcrum]

digi camo is exactly like the pixel bug lmao

just can't beat this I'm sorry

pixel bug is not as bad on the silver one compared to the blue one tho

the little scuff marks

this is kinda bad

its real bad

wtf is this shit

[lone bloom]

Master of nitpicking

[azure fulcrum]

its like some really lazy person plastidipped it

fuck

[lone bloom]

I doubt they gonna zoom into it or try to find minor detail errors

They even didnt with perseus quarter

[azure fulcrum]

don't even have to zoom in

[lone bloom]

And there its more obvious than that

[azure fulcrum]

XD

[lone bloom]

They just prob slab the paint on it walk around it to see if there are no glitches and such and call it a day

[azure fulcrum]

z

😩 shoot me

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

even worse on the other side

[lone bloom]

Thats those Things you wouldnt even notice if you wouldnt actively search for it

[tawny fern]

That is so bad rofl

[azure fulcrum]

its not nitpicking lol

jesus

[tawny fern]

Does their paint team have no qc???

[azure fulcrum]

this is even worse than the blue one wtf

[lone bloom]

I doubt there is a paint team

[azure fulcrum]

fuck

[lone bloom]

Prob the vehicle artists doing that

[azure fulcrum]

throwing all of these in my buyback except the red one

[lone bloom]

Im still the opinion base paint is the best

Maybe the concept one is better, but yk

[azure fulcrum]

hmmm I didn't see any noticable flaws but I'm gonna double check basepaint now lol

this is giving me muscle spasms my eye is twitching

[lone bloom]

Did you search for those errors on the percy paint too?

[azure fulcrum]

my blood pressure fuck

[azure fulcrum]

kinda did but its such a big ship I overlooked most of them prob

[lone bloom]

[azure fulcrum]

O you mean base paint?

only did resilient

[lone bloom]

No yours

[azure fulcrum]

yeah haven't done a thorough check

[lone bloom]

Like weird color edges

And weird shadings

[azure fulcrum]

but I'm sure they're there

[lone bloom]

Well

Have fun knowing that theyre there i guess

[azure fulcrum]

maybe I shouldn't check XD

but its such a big ship its less noticable of course

[lone bloom]

Worst part is still that bought paints have a wear

In the very first minutes of flying

[azure fulcrum]

its just insane that we pay real money for this. I would be fine with it if they were purchasable ingame

[lone bloom]

Even the Concierge one i saw had suddenly everywhere around the bridge glass Cuts into the paint Tons of them, and on the white marble paint around the docking Port too

[azure fulcrum]

the white marble paint just wears off and shows bare metal?

[lone bloom]

Yes

[azure fulcrum]

big yikes

[lone bloom]

And that after

Like 10 min of just flying

[lone bloom]

Tbf they said one day we will be able to get paints by rep grinding and unlocking them

[azure fulcrum]

base paint kinda has it but its not that noticable from a distance cause its a dark paint

[azure fulcrum]

yeah one day

[lone bloom]

And some paints are ingame purchaseable

[azure fulcrum]

but probably not the pledgestore exclusive ones

[lone bloom]

I think the arrow has some paints

[lone bloom]

Dunno prob not

But ik you can buy 2 or 3 arrow paints at nb

[azure fulcrum]

IDK but do you think this is fine?

its the part where you get into the cockpit

[lone bloom]

Dont know why they dont just go and say okay after like 6 or 12 months we put paintjobs (excluding concept, time limited and concierge) into some dedicated paint store

[azure fulcrum]

yeah for all the useless ships

[lone bloom]

And depending on size of ship the price scales

Like light fighter 500k

Perseus maybe 4 mil

And yes very costy but its also a permanent paint (at some point) so

And just a decorative thing

[azure fulcrum]

except for those 2 spots I'd say base paint is pretty good

[lone bloom]

I also dont mind event exclusive paints like Headhunter ones or the ones the spirit and arrow got now

But larger ships i think never really got any of those except the carrack ?

Unless you wanna count sl and Herkules

[azure fulcrum]

hmm

[lone bloom]

Maybe the leaked percy paints are planned for event rewards as free items if you complete an upcoming event in nyx

[azure fulcrum]

that would be nice

[lone bloom]

I mean surely not all of them since there were quite many that arent released

Or christmas calender gift

[azure fulcrum]

the blue thundercloud one seems like its going to be a reward or something important

[lone bloom]

Wouldnt mind that one

I dont like blue but that could be still better than the base paint

[azure fulcrum]

I think the contrast between the black and grey on the thundercloud sucks and the blue one might just blend better

[lone bloom]

Oh right

The blue one could be something from levski

They use blue colors too for their Banner

[azure fulcrum]

the blue one doesn't really have the black paint only some grey spots so hopefully it won't be as bad

IDK the grey could be pretty dark we'll see

[lone bloom]

I mean the thundercloud one is the best out of the paints we have ingame rn sadly

But only because the others arent great either

I am still really wondering how the Orange one will look like

Because that one looks so strongly different than the others

[tawny fern]

do you remember xenos posted the orange one

xenon

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I'm trying to find the x3non ones

[lone bloom]

Not ingame screens

Only the ones leaked

[lone bloom]

And those are either hangar screens in pure white light

...

Or the preview pics

[lone bloom]

Lol

[azure fulcrum]

going from this I think the blue one will 100% be better

[azure fulcrum]

different strokes for different yolkes I guess if pixels are your thing

[lone bloom]

Ngl the Orange one has something

[tawny fern]

its a wildly ridiculous paint lol

[azure fulcrum]

actually blue thundercloud will 1000% be better

[lone bloom]

Its just something different

[azure fulcrum]

oh and this one also good

[lone bloom]

Yeah that one could be hit or miss

Depending on how the yellow turns out

Hoping its alot darker than on that pic which it probably will be since ... Hangar pic

[azure fulcrum]

the one thing I don't like about the red paint is the decal

[lone bloom]

Wish they wouldve made a full dark greyish thundercloud option

Instead of white grey

[azure fulcrum]

absolutely

the white ruins it

[lone bloom]

Like, replace the white with a even darker grey

And call it a day lol

I just noticed

The pattern is exactly the same

[azure fulcrum]

they just used a bucket tool

[lone bloom]

[lone bloom]

The shit part is still

Coming from other games you know paints like that used to be free

Or at least obtainable through missions

Because they are fully standarized patterns with basic colors

[azure fulcrum]

[lone bloom]

I mean the thundercloud paint exists exactly with that pattern with those colors in battlefield 4 as free gun paint

And thats over 10 years old

And yes the blue one aswell

[azure fulcrum]

yeah call of duty did it prob 15 years ago

and metal gear solid snake eater did it 21 years ago

[lone bloom]

And sure its surely a bigger scale on a ship than a gun

But those are simple patterns that can be up and down scaled

[azure fulcrum]

yup its pretty braindead

thats why I dislike camo paints

[lone bloom]

Well they are universal

Fit on every ship

No matter the Details on the ship itsself

[azure fulcrum]

CIG needs to work for my money

I'm a very demanding customer

[lone bloom]

They arent unique made for this ship and made fitting for it

I mean idris has the thundercloud paint too

[azure fulcrum]

exactly!

I pitty the fool who paid 130$ for the thundercloud

[lone bloom]

They dont care about the very picky ones lol

[azure fulcrum]

and thats fair

[lone bloom]

They care about those who bring the most money

[azure fulcrum]

but have they no dignity or feeling of shame?

[lone bloom]

I mean there are paints specifically made for ships and not just patterns

[azure fulcrum]

where's the self-respect in this

tell me @CIG

[lone bloom]

Hammerhead has one (the blue one) even while it exists on multiple ships, it got Adapted for the ships

And isnt just a color Bucket paint

I mean the hieron paint is made for percy specifically

[azure fulcrum]

but that texture is also lazy asf

seems pretty paint bucket tool to me

[lone bloom]

Still the most effort paint for percy

[azure fulcrum]

really?

[lone bloom]

Lets ignore that only the top gunner seat has a Gold leather seat

And all other seats dont

[azure fulcrum]

except for the gold accents ... I mean comeone

[lone bloom]

I mean all others are pretty basic and generic besides maybe yours and rustle one

Resiliant

[azure fulcrum]

yeah was about to say the resilient one has some nice details

however that was too complicated and they fucked it up anyways

[lone bloom]

Prob thats why they choosed that paint for the iae hall too

[azure fulcrum]

but the accents are different colors and shit so yeah more refined of a paint than hieron IMO

[lone bloom]

Thats why i dont bought one

I dont like the resilient color wise, all others are very generic and lazy

[azure fulcrum]

so far I'm sad to say base paint is the best for alpha wolf not a fan of the decals on the red paint

[azure fulcrum]

the colors are very pastel I don't like that either

but the combination is pretty good

it works

[lone bloom]

And for 16-22 bucks it has to be a paint i actually want

[azure fulcrum]

oh well we can always melt it for store credit

at least thats something

[lone bloom]

I mean, what else can i get with 22 bucks? 2 year old triple a games, or the sl max to galaxy Upgrade

[azure fulcrum]

xDDD

[lone bloom]

Not gonna spend that then on a half assed lazy paint that i dont really like

[azure fulcrum]

yeah but its better than base paint and that's kind of the reason I have

[lone bloom]

They knew what they were doing

With not giving the original blue gradient paint

[azure fulcrum]

I swear they just put interns on making paints

bottom of the barel

get paid peanuts probably

[lone bloom]

Military vessel

Makes sense it gets camo paints

But only digi and the other one? Not other Naval camos?

[azure fulcrum]

I'm not even being harsh or insulting that's just what I have to conclude lmfao

[lone bloom]

I mean the Tiger shark skin camo exists on ships too

[minor field]

[azure fulcrum]

oh man

[lone bloom]

THe heretic returned

[azure fulcrum]

which ones again? idris and hammerhead?

[minor field]

Missing out on polaris BiS because of this damn perseus man smh

[lone bloom]

I meant rl Naval ship

[minor field]

Best paint fr tho

[lone bloom]

But i think the idris has it

I also think its the teeth paint?

[azure fulcrum]

can't argue with that

but CIG's best is ehhhh XDDD

[azure fulcrum]

its pretty amazing

[lone bloom]

Yeah that one

Just make it slightly more blueish

There you go Tiger shark paint

17 bucks easily percy paint

Also very generic and basic paint (excluding the teeth) but its a better camo

[azure fulcrum]

yeah its the best camo

[lone bloom]

Still weird they didnt went with that camo in the first place

Really expected that one

They literally said the perseus was inspired by sharks

[azure fulcrum]

same

I don't think they're ever going to fix the paint errors

because of what you said, they don't care about the nitpicking crowd

reddit and spectrum just downvotes and calls me autist etc xD

for pointing out the flaws in paints

[azure fulcrum]

black still turns to light grey for all wolf paints so we still haven't got a black paint yet

I like iceflash more than the concierge nighttide

I'm finally done talking about wolf xD back to perseus

[fluid plume]

Would rather have a solid blue not normal blue but more of a grayish blue

[grave canyon]

i think im gonna do a silly and apply percy on referral

[humble anvil]

That's a big silly!

I'm probably going to put the MTD on a referral token if we don't get PDC packs

I do hope we get PDC packs though.... It's such incredibly bad value

Hm

Silly

[grave canyon]

eh idc

i dont think they will change exterior

and at worst it will be expensive hangar piece

[humble anvil]

It's better than putting a ground vehicle that's cheap as f in game on a LTI token
