Perseus Pals

[round zodiac]

are they tradeable, like a friend spends his afternoon stripping one and storing in freight elevator, then calls them up and i can deposit them?

[jolly acorn]

any idea on how to retract the turret?

[azure fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/5NeMB41QQRo?si=KfTCPCyo2ixny9Zo

Omg scl when

I guess tomorrow

Very early in the afternoon fir me

[lone bloom]

First question

"when Perseus HP buff"

[tawny fern]

When pilot guns gimbal fix

[lone bloom]

so from watching videos I see that the ballistic pdcs are indeed better - but the ammo amount is bullshit

[tawny fern]

I wonder how hard it is coding wise

To have the component change the amount of ammo depending on which ship it’s attached to

It definitely doesnt make sense how a gun on a truck has to have the same amount of ammo when it’s on a gigantic spaceship

[lone bloom]

I mean since it will surely use the same system normal guns use too...

probably just a few clicks

[tawny fern]

Obligatory glorpshit gif

[rigid axle]

FYI, the ballistic pdc's are not in the shops yet (at least not the same ones the other variants are in)

also what's going on with the ballistic pdc's?

[tawny fern]

Once again cig saying untrue things in the q&a

[rigid axle]

based on firerate and ammo pool, it should have more than 5 minutes worth of fire

[lone bloom]

how exactly can you rip of the PDC btw?

[tawny fern]

Its 1200 rpm with 5000 rounds isnt it

[jolly acorn]

unlock ports, tractor beam

[lone bloom]

Thought that doesn't owkr

[jolly acorn]

repair, new one appears

[lone bloom]

work

[jolly acorn]

the way i did it

[lone bloom]

Aqua lied i see

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

[tawny fern]

I didnt say shit!

[rigid axle]

well...firerate, cooldown, and ammo pool I mean (for the 5 minutes)

[lone bloom]

ah right it was frappy

Frappy lied

Burn the witch

[tawny fern]

Idk if the mdc fits on a nomad

I think i asked before

[midnight crypt]

Been doing it for 6 years now. Got my steersman so eventually I’ll be steering the boat >o>

[lone bloom]

Do the PDC's attach to cargo grid?

[azure fulcrum]

I hear accidents happen people die on boats is it true that its a dangerous job?

[tawny fern]

I cant imagine being at sea for more than 4 hours, you def deserve your kraken(s)

[lone bloom]

The jack sparrow kraken

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-pirates-pirate-jack-sparrow-johnny-depp-gif-15785546248253044753

[tawny fern]

[lone bloom]

isn't that ship available ingame by now? lo

[tawny fern]

I think so idk who would pay that much for a wikelo version

[azure fulcrum]

4.5 evo leaks when

[minor field]

Already been a few

[lone bloom]

well thats a new one

[tawny fern]

Super pdc

[lone bloom]

size 10 pdc

[minor field]

I think they should add that

$1000 pdc

If I park the MDC in my polaris hangar and open it will I technically have an 8th pdc

[lone bloom]

Which Polaris

[minor field]

The one I melted pers for again

I need the bis paint

[lone bloom]

the poop paint

fitting for the pooplaris

[minor field]

Yessir

[tawny fern]

WHAT

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-invincible-title-card-powerplex-invincible-powerplex-aaron-paul-gif-1733043707559351643

[minor field]

Looking at the engineering leaks, even tho it's unfinished, the perseus will require at least 1-2 extra crew for engineering

Which kinda defeats the reason I had it

[tawny fern]

U know whats funny

[lone bloom]

yeah and the polaris will need 2-3

lol

[midnight crypt]

It is very dangerous but accidents don’t really happen much

[lone bloom]

also percy needs only one engineer according to CIG

[tawny fern]

The store page for the perseus says Min crew: 1

[minor field]

We'll have to see what happens

I hope 4.5 ptu isnt far

[midnight crypt]

Since everything is preventable

[tawny fern]

4.5 before the year ends

[minor field]

Planning to buy a GM pers pretty soon anyways so I'll have both lol

I'm honestly quite curious how Polaris armor will compare to Pers armor.. Polaris has light capital armor, but idk how that compares to subcap armor

[lone bloom]

They never had a chance

Ballistic pdc go brr

[minor field]

How fast does it shoot? Idk if I want to grab it if the ammo is gone after a few encounters

[lone bloom]

"a few"

you lucky if it has enough ammo for one

xD

[minor field]

Lmao

[lone bloom]

i mean depends on what you fight at least

Intersec missions you can only do one with them

but get less damaged with them than with laser pdc if solo

so in solo case you have to go repair either way too

[minor field]

We need a new laser pdc

[lone bloom]

well they got nerfed because the light fighter mafia cried

so now we got slightly worse than pre nerf ballistic pdc

since they do 18 dmg

previous pdc 20

[minor field]

I still don't understand the pdc nerf man

[lone bloom]

Because light fighter mafia cried

[minor field]

Light fighters move at the speed of sound they can just get out if their shields get low

[lone bloom]

thats the point - they don't even get in range of pdcs usually in the first place

Ships with pdcs get outranged by light fighters

[tawny fern]

Oh

Ravit u talked about the computer a while back right

I only saw the giant space for a battery

Idk where the computer was

Computer(s)

[lone bloom]

Engineering

[tawny fern]

🫠

Whats the battery for?

[minor field]

Think it might be for giving you time to repair if your powerplant dies

Keeps power for a little maybe

[lone bloom]

Just extra energy as pips temporarily

[lone bloom]

well if your powerplant dies, you're dead too xD

even if you have batteries

[minor field]

Well disabled i mean

Idk how it'll work

[lone bloom]

If powerplant gets damaged too much = hard death ship

[minor field]

Im gonna ram you

[lone bloom]

so the ballistics pdcs are on a percy empty after 3-4 medium/low risk bounties

so its... "eh"

[minor field]

Damn

[azure fulcrum]

Eh

[minor field]

Need to be able to reload them from grid or smth

[lone bloom]

so its barely enough to kill maybe 8-9 small fighters

Before running out of ammo

Love seeing so many carracks and paladins flying around because free fly and the ships being free rentable now lol

rarely seen other percy since you can't rent it anymore

[jolly acorn]

it "fits"

[lone bloom]

ofc it does lol?

[azure fulcrum]

Not with the turret deployed

[midnight crypt]

I’m curious on how well it would work with the ironclad, got the front and the garage door on top

But at least there is 4ish ships with landing pads to put the MDCs on

Krakens, pioneer, liberator and 890J

[steel thistle]

does it shoot thru their shields?

[lone bloom]

Crucible

[jolly acorn]

gotta unlock ports and take it off because this lil guy makes it too tall even when down

nvm if i go fast enough it happily phases through it

[midnight crypt]

Behind the ship video CIG put them on the 890J

Doesn’t have them shoot anything, just on it

[azure fulcrum]

The poor mans pdc

[jolly acorn]

"oh look, a civilian airliner spaceliner"

[steel thistle]

PIN THIS

[jolly acorn]

~~not my image tho ~~

[steel thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-cats-gif-14317670277085954258

[tawny fern]

has anyone actually tested to see if the mdc's shoot back

[midnight crypt]

You can fit way more on there. So much space between them

[jolly acorn]

probs, but theyd probably shoot each other

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-caught-fire-cross-fire-gif-8939645

[midnight crypt]

Who cares, if they are directly above you, they’re dead

Also since I have privateer and base kraken, dock them together and have even more MDCs

[lone bloom]

Your hangar with 71 mtdcs would look funny

and also once insurance is a thing getting 71 warranty tokens 🥀

[midnight crypt]

I already have bought 3, traded up from an STV and warbond 2

And I am really thinking of buying more

If they really don’t give the kraken PDCs, the MDCs will be my only option

[tawny fern]

theres no way the kraken doesnt get pdc's

but i absolutely trust cig to make some absolutely unhinged decision like no pdc's for kraken

[lone bloom]

Not a combat / military ship

If they stick to that rule it won't get pdcs

[midnight crypt]

Maybe kraken will have fully bladed turrets 😄

[lone bloom]

so will have every other ship

assooon there are blades

but not every ship pdcs

[midnight crypt]

I am curious if we will ever see S2 and up for PDCs

[lone bloom]

i mean

it displayed S2 on the ballistic PDCs if you tractor them for some reason

[minor field]

I wonder if pdcs were damage nerfed because maybe they somehow have big range after the upcoming weapon range changes

[lone bloom]

i mean its prob more a thing of that they prob still stay with their range

but fighters are forced to get in pdc range to attack

[minor field]

Idk how they'd be forced into range since a lot of fighters have higher size guns than our pdcs

[lone bloom]

ITs leaked already that they reduced the ranges of them

significantly

only S5 i think goes beyond 2km

[tawny fern]

oh i forgot about that

[minor field]

Ooh I see

[tawny fern]

thats really gonna shake things up

[minor field]

I'm very curious to see how it goes

[midnight crypt]

I wish they left S5 alone, meteor suffers enough

[lone bloom]

Can't find it anymore rn, but so far Ik S5 had like 2.2K range and every other gun beneath like 1600 1400 1200

900 for S1 i guess

So putting pretty much almost every fighter in PDC range

if they wanna attack a ship that has pdcs

[tawny fern]

add +300m for ballistics

[lone bloom]

or nvm

s5 is even more shittened

yep they 100% in pdc range

[humble anvil]

think about it

s1 pdc is 900 meter + 300

https://tenor.com/view/ok-nice-grafic-gif-13206845596055018221

[lone bloom]

Could also be that PDC stay with their ranges

[humble anvil]

tldr; light fighters stay away from the perseus you dont belong

[lone bloom]

and it will stay 2KM for pdc

[humble anvil]

mhm

yup

[lone bloom]

I mean it has to

[humble anvil]

they have to otherwise torps need nerfed further

[lone bloom]

otherwise it can't intercept missiles

[midnight crypt]

Does that affect all guns or only fighters? Because turrets would be even more useless

[humble anvil]

same braincell

fuck off

[lone bloom]

[tawny fern]

all guns

[lone bloom]

It was my turn of the single Perseus braincell

https://tenor.com/view/cat-reaction-michi-triste-crying-cat-reaction-sad-cat-hannicion-gif-17190162121303461099

[tawny fern]

i think

i actually dont know, source is that picture lmao

[humble anvil]

the weapon ranges mean paladin is even more fucked

and Perseus stonks grow

every day the perseus just gets better and better

and people that melted maaan RIP

[lone bloom]

So far ik its from tech preview and also got somewhere posted from Pipeline

so its quite reliable

[lone bloom]

Xenn melted his percy again

[humble anvil]

@minor field KEEP YOURSELF SAFE

[minor field]

[tawny fern]

[lone bloom]

[minor field]

Need the polaris bis paint

Dorito

[humble anvil]

oh yeah

QD said something like that

the actual only decent paint for polaris

But only because its fitting to the name "pooplaris"

[glass ether]

Never melting that hoe is too expensive

[tawny fern]

[humble anvil]

i hope you can forgive me

[lone bloom]

Nono on Xenn its justified

[tawny fern]

[minor field]

I have 4m

[lone bloom]

Deserved you polaris traitor

[humble anvil]

you aint getting shit

[round zodiac]

you have enough to replenish ONE Torpedo

[humble anvil]

u heathen

[tawny fern]

o my god

[minor field]

I'm getting a pers off gm for 4.5 gimme a break smh

[midnight crypt]

Can’t wait for the 4.5.0 full money wipe

[glass ether]

I was melting stuff for store cred and found an extra carrack to Perseus upgrade so I threw together and chained a Polaris for BIS paint

[minor field]

[round zodiac]

Rustling through his couch cushions

[humble anvil]

it needs it bad

[tawny fern]

rustle spreading the (early) christmas cheer

[lone bloom]

We getting a money wipe either way soon

[humble anvil]

but this is also why i got hundreds of components.

[lone bloom]

If not it would be pretty awkward

[humble anvil]

and am mass stockpiling

i just picked up 200 blizards

[midnight crypt]

I pledge every ship I want, only thing AUEC is for is sometimes RRR and even then, a lot of the time I just claim the ship XD

[lone bloom]

@humble anvil did you saw that you can solo the intersec entry mission with percy?

[humble anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/youngling-scared-startled-anakin-star-wars-gif-4939428501246661288

[midnight crypt]

I unlocked regular Merc contracts against vanduul and they are so easy. Vanduul don’t have a ship yet that doesn’t get shot by PDCs XD

[humble anvil]

hehehe xd

[lone bloom]

i mean you just give full power to shields

and while they speed towards you hop into the turret

you get damaged and should go repair after the intersec mission BUT it works

[tawny fern]

with laser pdcs im guessing?

if full ballistics just run out after one mission

[lone bloom]

you have to go repair either way so prob can just take ballistic

but i did it with laser

[minor field]

Damn I see why pdc damage was nerfed now, we're going to be shooting constantly at these fighters

After the range changes are implemented

I wonder if they'll push them before 4.5

[lone bloom]

They still have to do something about the torps tho

no way they are supposed to go through pdc defence

[clear bluff]

patch soon

[minor field]

👀

The knower has arrived

[south spoke]

Why do you need 200 blizzard coolers

[humble anvil]

STONKS

[clear bluff]

the what

[south spoke]

Damn fair, are you gonna sell them cause ill take 6

[humble anvil]

no

[minor field]

I can't wait to run around the polaris or Idris putting out fires

[lone bloom]

I cant wait to cause fires on polaris or idris

[minor field]

You're gonna need a proj velocity buff to hit components accurately

If they dont give one then im not rebuying pers

[jolly acorn]

Still need to get my hands on a TS-2 smh

Too bad the get additional intel mission DOESNT SPAWN THE BOARDS TO GET TO THE DAMN VAULT ROOM

[lone bloom]

Not to hit capitals

From 50 meters behind the engines

[minor field]

True if you get there its gg lol

[lone bloom]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/92000849236066304/1442361031379914832/youtube-video-gif1.gif

[minor field]

Well

If you get there I'd just quantum away

They need to make taking too much damage cancel the quantum spool

[round zodiac]

or sizeable impacts knocking their angle so they lose calibration

[minor field]

That'd be awesome lol

[lone bloom]

Would be a winn in my book

But uh depending on the health of a Quantum drive and considering that your shields turn off....

A perseus might just delete your drive the second it Sees that you want to jump

Dunno

So in other words, when perseus QI?

[minor field]

I can't wait to see how it all works, hope the ptu isn't far

[minor field]

$500 kit good sir

[lone bloom]

[minor field]

Warbond only

[round zodiac]

Perseus Anteres

[lone bloom]

Also i think evocati started today or was supposed to start today

So prob soon

[minor field]

Gaming

[lone bloom]

Since they still want to Release one patch per month apparantly

[round zodiac]

12 months since we saw pyro solar flares

[lone bloom]

[round zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-light-mode-light-mode-gif-18772320

[lone bloom]

Guess earliest tomorrow wave 1, or likely next week tho

Or friday wave 1 over weekend

[round zodiac]

that will be promptly pulled down by the saturday crew

[clear bluff]

goal is friday for w1

[lone bloom]

Easy

Called it

[round zodiac]

so glad we have a resident spy

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/spying-eric-cartman-south-park-s5e1-scott-tenorman-must-die-gif-22111267

But guess the patch will mostly only have engineering in it and nothing else

Maybe the weapon changes and perhaps nyx event (?)

Hope they finished armor V0 at that point

[minor field]

Yayy

I'm not w1 tho

[lone bloom]

And that with a polaris

Tztztztz

[minor field]

We do a little GMing

[round zodiac]

i did a little CCUing and Rafflin'

perseus, Zeus CL, 325a, vulture, CSV. under $500 spent, i think

dont have my logins on the school laptop, cant let the history bleed through if im in class😄

[lone bloom]

Perseus and starlancer max for still 44 bucks

But that number would change IF THEY WOULD GIVE GOOD WARBONDS

https://tenor.com/view/bad-dobby-hit-whack-gif-13214200

[fallow wharf]

anyone got access to ballistic pdc?

in theory we only need 1

[lone bloom]

Just rent the mdc

I have like 8 of those pdcs

[azure fulcrum]

get home 1am so tired 😩 no good warbound make me sad. let hope for finale some good warbonnet

C2 tomorrow plz

prowler for finalle

[round zodiac]

if oyu can see this, you're already dead

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-brian-griffin-brian-running-scary-gif-8185219274756384450

[steel thistle]

wait so is there

actually nothing else coming new

this IAE

[lone bloom]

Yep thats it

[humble anvil]

4.5 patch

[azure fulcrum]

false alarm no 4.5 pets today

[steel thistle]

😭😭😭😭

[azure fulcrum]

there one new ship cumming very soon likely 4.5 pet it might get datamined

[steel thistle]

i’m guessing it’s a tiny ship

😔

or a ground vehicle

[azure fulcrum]

yeah its all low effort stuff they already blew their load on IAE I'm afraid

[steel thistle]

of course

[azure fulcrum]

and also another variant announced

[azure fulcrum]

ehh if only perseus had this paint

https://tenor.com/view/pain-suffering-death-star-wars-gif-25111888

[humble anvil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3XuDrT3nho

[azure fulcrum]

at least its effective against torps >.>

lol except when you're dumbfiring itt

I still would love to see a MDC with a pepperbox in action... would be like a little mobile samsite

[fallow wharf]

Bro afk cleared a whole high risk contract with 400i

Near 20k dpm per turret goes hard

Though only 5000 rounds ammo

[azure fulcrum]

why a 400i?

[fallow wharf]

vs 400i

From contract

[azure fulcrum]

hmm

[fallow wharf]

https://youtu.be/ILMVKftnfyA?si=5URavYs5DoTXzilI

He afk cleared a whole high risk contract

And only had to rearm for 1k

And repair 12k

[azure fulcrum]

and u cant do that with laser pdcs?

[high basin]

Not really

They don't do much damage. And the capacitors on Perseus are dreadful

They get like 50 shots or smth stupid

[azure fulcrum]

desync is so bad its unplayable

such bullshit that you can't jump on the transports without dying

[humble anvil]

Correct

Is very bad

[azure fulcrum]

yeah it doesn't even save my game state when I switch instances

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-187670

I fucking hope they fix my skin

should've done a IC ticket for the perseus resilient too

[humble anvil]

It always logs me out

I hate ic

[azure fulcrum]

RSI logs me out too so annoying

@humble anvil https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-187783

I made one for the resilient paint lol

[lone bloom]

I mean we still dont have the Hermes but thats quite a irrelevant variant

[steel thistle]

oh yeah forgot about that 😭

[crystal sleet]

Bet the hermes is gonna be better recieved than the utility was

[fallow wharf]

Impossible to find overlord gilded arms

Legit the armor set doesn’t have them

NO BODY CARES!!!

[desert gorge]

I still donr understand why in the right mind they would make the hermes a "Top" loaded apollo its already ass to begin with
Apollos only use is to "Abuse" Exit to menu and hard armistice for Exhang lol 😂

[lone bloom]

i mean it would be a larger taurus

and top loading would make it easier for the exterior freight elevators

[desert gorge]

With worse weapons and components
And mobility

[lone bloom]

Well why you need any of those

as cargo hauler?

[desert gorge]

Well do we know how much it will hold?

[lone bloom]

no

[desert gorge]

Honest question i got no idea

[lone bloom]

But probably double if not tripple from the taurus would be my guess

[desert gorge]

Tbh Taurus is more of a daily than anything it can do it all but thats far fetched my daily is an F7 to bully people i guess

[lone bloom]

also don't forget- connie is still in for a hard nerf

[desert gorge]

That be good than

[lone bloom]

or better said - the Aquila, Taurus & Phoenix

[desert gorge]

Nerf is coming with 4.5 no? Weapons range for S5
Paladin is gonna be so ass lol

[lone bloom]

I meant direct nerf to connie

S4

[desert gorge]

That be hard

Ye

[lone bloom]

No it wouldn't

It would just reset it to its original state

[desert gorge]

I mean it aint a fighter

Tru i remember it being S4 back than

[lone bloom]

Connies used to have S4s

and ships larger than the connie

with the same role

also have S4s

[desert gorge]

Hmh true

[lone bloom]

Makes no sense then if a connie has a S5 outside of the Andromeda - which is meant for combat- unlike the others

[desert gorge]

I still dont like Haulers i guess and i forgot about the external elevators for top loading sowwy

[desert gorge]

Agreed drommel should keep S5 i feel like

[lone bloom]

But even there I feel like dromeda should have a fully different weapon kit

[eternal urchin]

guys is the greycat mdc rentable at iae ? i need that mrx for my perseus

[desert gorge]

If u need pdcs i can give em to

[lone bloom]

Yes it is for about 4 more hours

[eternal urchin]

alright dupe citizen time

pls dont ban me

[desert gorge]

My idris with those pscs shredded fighters yesterday at exhang

Once the weapon range changes are in and if pdcs wont be changed in terms of range fighters might not annoy big boys anymore which was so an oying <_<

[lone bloom]

I guess the better thing for the dromeda would be it keeps the S4s so the Pilot power creep gets removed fully from the connie - but the turrets get upguns- i think its rn size 2 turrets? make them dual S4 similar to the starlancer

so it ends up with 4 S4 pilot and tons of missiles, and two turrets with dual S4

[desert gorge]

Give drommel HH TURRET 😂

Kekw

[lone bloom]

i mean even what i described would make it more powerfull than the starlancer

while being smaller - having more hp - more agility - and being cheaper

[desert gorge]

Yep

Starlancer is a drop ship tho

Wait connie has more hp?

[lone bloom]

Dromeda yes

[desert gorge]

Ok didnt know that one

[lone bloom]

Even while i would argue the time of connies is over either way with release of percy

[lone bloom]

Dropship or cargo depends on what you want xD

Also its a assault dropship not just a normal dropship

significantly more HP btw

[desert gorge]

Damn

[lone bloom]

While being smaller

which is stupid to beginn with

[desert gorge]

Half hp of SUPER AR.OURED PERSEUS BTW

Ty CIG

[lone bloom]

and half the shield

Nothing new Sub capitals are extremely underpowered HP wise

xD

Even while a Perseus absolutely shreds a connie non the less simply because of firepower

[desert gorge]

Percy buff when

😂

[lone bloom]

Its literally top comment beneath the perseus feedback thread of CIG

That they should drastically buff the HP

Generally for all sub capitals

[desert gorge]

Agreed

[lone bloom]

because makes no sense a ship 5x smaller than the polaris

has 1/10 of the health

[desert gorge]

Especially if its damn well armoured

[lone bloom]

while being even heavily armored

arguably it should have 7/10 of the health

and hammerhead somewhere around 4-6/10

May fix it before 4.5 but doubt it and will just argue they fix it with 4.5

[desert gorge]

4.5 will fix jackass i feel like 😂

Only make things way worse

[lone bloom]

It will break more than it fixes

absolutely lol

[desert gorge]

What was that Pisces ta ks 100shots + S4

[lone bloom]

yep

While a Polaris Powerplant goes critical within not even a minute of a wolf shooting at it

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

It will throw the entire pvp Meta and gameplay around

Guess ships that will get hit the most in terms of "getting worse" will be non combat ships

[desert gorge]

4.5 i hooe for a wipe tbh

Money and co.ponents mainly

Not wikelo tho i like my S3 Mil A comps 😂

[lone bloom]

so far ik wikelo comps always wipe?

Because it just doesn't give the Mil comps

the ship with paint stays - but with the stock components

[desert gorge]

A2 has mil grad A

Stock

From wikelo got it just for that

[lone bloom]

fair enough

why has something like the A2 mil a stock

and Perseus not

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

[desert gorge]

Well wikelo

Once Perseus hit wikelo it might get it stock to

[lone bloom]

so its not stock

its the wikelo "stock"

Yeah those get wiped brother

The wikelo comps don't get saved, unless they somehow miss it and it bugs out but usually you get the stock components that come with the base ship - not with the wikelo variant

[humble anvil]

actually wikelo varient, atleast the guardian has been defaulting with its wikelo components

[lone bloom]

But still funny how many people rented the percy apparantly

I barely see percy now

[humble anvil]

tbh its just a cool ship to fly that has self automated turrets

its a tanky ish ship, has cargo bay

good versatile ship

[lone bloom]

yeah but after the renting expired i see it way less frequently

[humble anvil]

but not alot of reason to pull it out

mediocrity

[lone bloom]

i mean if you solo it yes

if you have one gunner its better than pretty much any other ship

at least in PvE

So... the ballistics pdcs can block Size 10 torps

so they made the normal laser ones fully useless so they can sell the mdc

[desert gorge]

I mean i got A2 last patch it kept its Mil A components 😂

Same with my F8

And Tac

All wikelo ships for me kept their comps

Its been fixed for so.etime now ^^

[humble anvil]

YUP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp3E2O8_wu0

[desert gorge]

Just dps lower i guess not fully useless in terms of idris balancing or polaris still a volley of 4 still cant hit an idris

[lone bloom]

A single torp can hit a perseus or polaris tho

if they use laser pdc

and test wise also a Idris

[desert gorge]

Last friday i believe is when we tested it

4er volley of a polaris wasnt able to get tbeoguh

[lone bloom]

I mean I just saw it in a video that all torpedos went through PDC defence

I think Rustle did post that video in here

[desert gorge]

I can only tell from my tests with buddys 🫠
Perseus blocks 1 S9 2 gets through from an eclipse
But when we tested idris (strong pdc side) not a single one got through

First we tested 2 per volley not even close and 4 didnt stand a chance either

And i saw a video before we tested them where a volley of 2 went through funny enough 🫠

Maybe it was ptu tests and pdc range got decreased?

[humble anvil]

we gonna get that Armor patch

come on baby

[fallow wharf]

When

[humble anvil]

4.5

is engineering

[fallow wharf]

Armor in 4.5?

[humble anvil]

it has to come

engineering cannot exist without armor

[fallow wharf]

That would also mean that they would sell the railgun kit for idris p

[lone bloom]

Ah yes - more onehitting solo idrises

[fallow wharf]

The only reason they haven’t sold it yet is so that idris M differs from P, as it currently doesn’t have the promised armor advantage

[lone bloom]

Doesn't chance the fact about the onehite thing

xD

[fallow wharf]

True

Except if the feature somewhere in the far future will be introduced with ships being put together by a shit ton of parts

Where you can shatter your ship like little legos

[lone bloom]

Maelstrom...?

[fallow wharf]

Then the railgun will just rip a hole in your ship except if it hits a vital part

[lone bloom]

I wonder if the Idris M got tested in tech preview

if it oneshits ships there still or not

of if it has to specifically hit a component / powerplant

guess already that would make it significantly harder

[fallow wharf]

Meanwhile Percy not even 100k hp vital part

[lone bloom]

Yeah its still stupid

Heavy Armor my ass

[fallow wharf]

Idris could sneeze and Percy would get disintegrated into dust

I thought proper armor was meant to come in like 6 months

Can’t imagine it coming with 4.5

Only components and engineering

[lone bloom]

i mean it won't be proper armor

it will be just a different kind of HP pool

Its armor T1, that likely so far Ik can't tell the difference if it gets shoot by a S1 gun or S7

and T2 is the "real" meaningfull armor that can 'shrug off' some weapon sizes

[fallow wharf]

Just remove hp and make everything oneshot

[lone bloom]

Idris? Oneshot

ez

Gonna go kill Kingship real fast with my aurora boys, im saving the UEE solo speed run

[fallow wharf]

But attach a coinflip mechanic to it

50/50

[lone bloom]

Still have better chances with Aurora xD

Can't kill what you can't hit

[fallow wharf]

[lone bloom]

Gonna turn out like DnD, just stacking the 50/50 chances until I winn

[desert gorge]

Engineering will come without armour

100% since they want armour with maelstrom

[rancid copper]

Eh they once showed a placeholder version of armor which was supposed to come last year

[lone bloom]

they wanted armor with Engineering*

[desert gorge]

Ye they wanted hint on that it wont come it will 100% come with a replacement for later

[lone bloom]

They said earlier it didn't made it until tech preview, would be pretty sad if they can't get it for PTU

[desert gorge]

A placeholder will be there for it not full armour
I THINK ive read it somewhere that armour will need maestrom due to DMG shenanigans and shit no idea but for now a placeholder HP bar i believe was it is what we get which is BS

[humble anvil]

imma be fucking diddled by a remote if once again CIG is sped muffins

GUYS

LETS MAKE COMPONENTS REALLY HARD TO KILL

THEN GO BACK AND READJUST IT FOR WHEN ARMOR IS IN

XML doc people need a month to fine tune stats for 1 ship

[shadow oasis]

Pipeline confirmed ARMOR IN 4.5

[lone bloom]

If engineering comes without any kind of armor - the bullying of light fighters against any larger ship will just continue

well nvm

Neon destroyed the moment

[shadow oasis]

Hi :3

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-19410756

[lone bloom]

i mean the MK2 is... nuthing muffin

I mean it will just have engineering parts in the back likely lol

[desert gorge]

Gib link or confirmation ples

Nvm im dump

😂

[lone bloom]

Literally the first word is Pipeline

(CIG Marketing Department 2.0)

[azure fulcrum]

I missed the stream

Cig cunfiirm

[azure fulcrum]

Cig pipeline same thing lol

[lone bloom]

They said like...

last year already that Armor comes with engineering ._.

And that Engineering requires armor to work "fundamentally"

As seen in the Tech Preview...

[azure fulcrum]

Lmfao liars

[lone bloom]

I wouldn't say thats lying?

I mean its true

[humble anvil]

we're going to get a Mr. Kraken Layout of all the ships and where their powerplants are

[azure fulcrum]

Thete no armur in tek prev.

[lone bloom]

Engineering without armor - like in tech preview - just turned every ship either into a fully fucking tank of a ship - or a useless ship like the polaris because the comps just get killed instantly

[humble anvil]

I swore they said armor was ready but they turned it off for PTU to get testing data for engineering

[lone bloom]

so it requires armor to make sense

ergo, its true

Otherwise its like War thunder - without your armor platings

good luck with that

[humble anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/war-thunder-skill-problem-skill-issue-gif-21453710

[lone bloom]

No armor = no overpressure or bounce - mega mind play

[azure fulcrum]

Maybe percious have better deflection and armur materiol

?

Xd

[lone bloom]

it already has better than any other ship so far ik?

[humble anvil]

heaviest armor next to the terrapin besides capital

[lone bloom]

5% laser reduction which no ship has

and 47%(?) general reduction

i mean it can tank a S10 torp to the front

[azure fulcrum]

I tink they said that in percy scl

[lone bloom]

Terrapin prob just has heavy armor too

for whatever reason

🐢

Still doesn't change the fact that the gap between capitals and sub capitals HP wise is way too huge

Its like Atomic bomb vs coughing baby comparison

[desert gorge]

Still fairly happy with armour coming in ho estly

Didnt think they would make it

[lone bloom]

Coping that they fix the sub capitals - capitals HP gap

With armor coming in

Afterall that kind of thing is THE chance to shuffle it a bit more up since they have to redo the whole system including the "HPs" ether way

So by fixxing that gap would just save worktime

lol

[humble anvil]

512 scu

thats going to bumpb it to 400

[humble anvil]

jesus

[lone bloom]

the holy pricebump

[humble anvil]

c2 has 696

for real

Im hoping Ironclad doesnt go above arrastra though

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-immeasurable-day-ruined-my-disappointment-is-immeasurable-and-my-day-is-ruined-gif-25049040

I was hoping that the now named Auxilia can basebuild with L drones

So Auxilia = better Nursa?

"both are waiting for crafting" - so both are finished......... but.... they released the ... clipper without crafting?

Yo

[desert gorge]

Dats big tho

[azure fulcrum]

F
Huge

Ironclot gon surpass arra price

💀

[lone bloom]

Dunno

Arra can still mine and is larger

maybe they bump the SCU of that one too in the future

wasn't there a big topic with you and rustle what happens if the ironclad CCU blocks you from arrastra? XD

[desert gorge]

I got arra and ironchad hehe

[humble anvil]

double door galaxy

nice

[azure fulcrum]

I dont get ironclott just get a bmm tbh

[humble anvil]

the ironclad might go past Arrastra

[azure fulcrum]

Yep

[lone bloom]

temporarily

xD

[humble anvil]

it likely will.

:l

[azure fulcrum]

After release for sure

[desert gorge]

Got a galaxy to 🫠

[lone bloom]

now they don't just powercreep guns

they powercreep Cargo too

[azure fulcrum]

Have fun tractoring more boxes

Fricking space peasants lol

Its not a good thing if you rlly think about it

More things that can go wrong too

[humble anvil]

A2 WB

bruh

[azure fulcrum]

Fuuuuuck

Well thats just messed up

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-skywalker-i-hate-them-star-wars-no-nope-gif-12872946

[humble anvil]

shit

hull B is going to scope past railen likely

Hull B is going to be the biggest fucking jump

[azure fulcrum]

Fuck

[azure fulcrum]

I got my ass covered if that would hapoen got dur to hull b ccu

[humble anvil]

Easily 300$

[azure fulcrum]

Wtf no way

[humble anvil]

Hull C is 500

[azure fulcrum]

But carries 3k scu

Its not proportional

[humble anvil]

a c2 is 696 and 400$

[round zodiac]

C2 is the benchmark. Hull B will be less than it by quite a bit. Less cargo, no vehicle carry

C2 is $330

[azure fulcrum]

That would be an insane pricebump

Almost unheard of

Like no way

Wtf

[round zodiac]

Railen to 375. Less cargo than c2 but alien tax

[humble anvil]

railen is getting

[azure fulcrum]

Im going to reverse ccu hull b to asgard

F it

[humble anvil]

railen is going to 640 SCU

so nvm i think we'll be good

[azure fulcrum]

What railing price will be

[round zodiac]

Yup. Hopefully the hover pads make easy loading that slips back up against the chassis

[round zodiac]

More than C2. I'm saying 375 all day

[azure fulcrum]

Cool

[round zodiac]

Maybe 350 if they're feeling generous

[azure fulcrum]

Ill reverse ccu railen to assgord

[humble anvil]

got the big ones hope to comb them together for arrastra

[azure fulcrum]

I reverse buy hull b to railen to they might br close

Kruger stingray

[humble anvil]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

Galaxy 2026

[azure fulcrum]

Galaxy iae 2026 cunfirmed @lone bloom

[grave canyon]

hell yea

[humble anvil]

Salvation fits in the Galaxy hangar easy

might even fit inside the interior of the refinery double doors

[azure fulcrum]

Salvation is useless it doesnt pay using it

[humble anvil]

it doesn't pay right now there's nothing to craft with it, but for the simple bimbo looking for a run from slvation to galaxy to craft something

could be ight

basically like ROC mining with extra steps

and way more expensive

[azure fulcrum]

Could be

[humble anvil]

but ye we get the galaxy for base building

-dadadaaaaa

and copium crafting

[lone bloom]

Quite obvious afterall they said galaxy starts production assoon percy is done

And isnt that much bigger

Annnd has even more assets now

Watch them cooking with percy but the galaxy becomes shit

[azure fulcrum]

It is but i was coping for arrastra production instead lol

[azure fulcrum]

Lol I hope they improve upon galaxy even more

[lone bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-meme-no-cat-no-cat-nuh-uh-nuh-uh-gif-5478596456695677807

[grave canyon]

they will probably wait for refinery for that

[lone bloom]

so guys, 100K messages in Galaxy club house? /j

They're only at 2K

[grave canyon]

the percy club wouldn't be much further than to 2k up until a few days ago if the only thing being talked about here was the percy

[lone bloom]

Just filtering for the word "Perseus" has more than 7K

[grave canyon]

not terribly close to 100k still is it

[lone bloom]

Yeah because every single message about Perseus has to include Perseus in the message right eh?

Pretty sure at least 70K messages are about percy at the very minimum

[grave canyon]

galaxy has 2k messages and 400 mentions galaxy

to get to 70k you need to double that

[lone bloom]

Ofc the numbers are different if there are no discussions in the first place^^

We had 2+K messages per day as PTU started and it was purely about Perseus, stop coping

[grave canyon]

polaris is 10k messages 1500 has polaris

[azure fulcrum]

We alrdy heb selvg refinery so not that diffrnt tbh

[grave canyon]

if you extrapolate based on this it's still 50k

[azure fulcrum]

What new anvil craft ship?????

[grave canyon]

also the pure fantasy copiums are half of those

anyways wasn't trying to take away from how anticipated the ship was anyway, just saying not all of that talk was about perseus

[azure fulcrum]

Powercreep

[grave canyon]

since crafting is the new thing everything will have a crafting bench

then they will just make crafting ursa that will fit in every ship

[azure fulcrum]

Ye but that medium size crafting ship also has refinery

[lone bloom]

That just kinda proofed my point that its not really an argument to compare it to other chats... Simply because the difference of the Galaxy mentions in 2K to 400 messages compared Polaris to 10K to 1500 messages is off by alot (5x vs 7x)

[grave canyon]

make and sell crafting variants of the cutlass, etc

double dip to make and sell crafting ursa

profit

[desert gorge]

Im interested in thr CNOU ship will it be only crafting or base building maybe to o-o
Anywya i just want it bc its CNOU lol

[humble anvil]

Perseus better have like 700k worth of armor

it's 33% of Polaris Mass

[grave canyon]

ic is also 2600 at 300, so yes as the amount of messages grow the ratio differs but i'm doubtful that if you plotted it in a graph assuming all messages in the other chats are about the ship you'd get much more than 40k messages that would be about percy

[humble anvil]

Tank a Railgun shot

[lone bloom]

Nvm it proves that it is in Percy chat mainly about Percy since logically that message difference of "with" mention and "no" mention of that specific name exponentially increases per total messages Thats why its 5x vs 7x in Polars vs Galaxy too. So you can expect in percy chat its 10-12x

[lone bloom]

49K would be 7x

[grave canyon]

you can go ahead and try that by giving all this data to gpt and making him put it into a graph

[lone bloom]

So that would be wrong

lol

[lone bloom]

70K-84K

[grave canyon]

yeah which is assuming the best case scenario, that as messages grow the percentage of messages mentioning the topic get smaller while still being about the topic

which we have no way of confirming

this would assume the 10k of those messages in the polaris chat are about polaris and the 2k in the galaxy chat are about galaxy, and the curve that favors your 80k opinion

[lone bloom]

And therefor, you can't say "uh just offtopic no perseus" because - math is speaking technically against you until you can proof otherwise

Also just by simply discussing about that bullshit you are offtopic too btw

[grave canyon]

in reality knowing not all of those messages are about polaris and galaxy and the 5x > 7x difference very well being able to be attributed to that, assuming 80% of these messages to be on topic is weird but ok

[grave canyon]

i simply said there's a lot of talk here that was not about perseus and just pure fantasy copium, you somehow took it as an insult man

have i said something mean to you at some point? you seem awfully hellbent on taking everything i say as an insult

[lone bloom]

I mean 20-30K is alot of fantasy copium and has nothing to do with percy no doubt

But 20-30K in 100+K isn't bad ratio

[lone bloom]

What did I took as Insult? I just said that topic is bullshit

[grave canyon]

idk, you seem awfully irritated

[lone bloom]

[grave canyon]

every time i message here you seem to get real defensive

[lone bloom]

Using math to prove that you're wrong is being irritated and being real defensive?

[grave canyon]

gpt's math says 50k is about the perseus

[lone bloom]

Gpt also said Perseus will get 1.2 Mil HP

[grave canyon]

to get to your imaginary 70-80% the math has to be making a margin of error of around %60-%80

[grave canyon]

gpt knows more about math than the perseus

you can calculate it by hand

[lone bloom]

I did

[grave canyon]

i can tell you how that would work if you'd like

[lone bloom]

70-84K

[grave canyon]

graphs and slopes are not tough

[humble anvil]

Have to see what they do, from concept seems like a useless ship

Not useless but wasted space

[round zodiac]

I was onboard until arrastra made more sense

[tawny fern]

Lmao i open discord and that troll is here again lmao

Some people man

[fallow wharf]

@lone bloom i had to claim my ship today

hangar ate it

[humble anvil]

hmmmmm

@azure fulcrum Contemplating how i want to ride these price increases

[azure fulcrum]

the shape tells me the use of space isn't going to be efficient as a box like the ironclad for example lol

[humble anvil]

mhm

[azure fulcrum]

me too I'm thinking real hard

[humble anvil]

im getting a railen to crucible

[azure fulcrum]

I'm thinking of getting some more hull B ccus

and estimate on where its going to land

maybe get a railen to galaxy CCU lol that seems realistic

[humble anvil]

prob going to get a Hull B to Railen, then double back possibly get a Railen to Galaxy. but keep a $5 base ccu for each of them

just to see where they land

[azure fulcrum]

hull B to railen is a lot of store credit

[humble anvil]

yes

yes it is

its a melt though, right away

[azure fulcrum]

I suspect hull B is going to land much lower than railen

I just got home so I'm buying another reverse CCU right now

[humble anvil]

got a few days

[azure fulcrum]

I still got 200 USD store credit

got this motherfucker to melt tomorrow

its a hail mary I know but yeah

was thinking of hull B to asgard

think I'm going to do that now

and tomorrow I'll get hull B to railen

wait if hull B X shaped it can't land lol

[humble anvil]

aint the goal of the reverse ccu to like; Go FROM to SOMETHING and be very close or over the pricepoint

[azure fulcrum]

- Armor will be in 4.5 PTU
- ISC next week on armor, engineering and more
- Aurora Mk.II coming first half of 2026
- Hull-B can land with cargo and has 512 SCU (it will be an X shape grid and not a + like the hullC it got slightly longer but will remain in medium hangar and its slated to release in 2026)
- It will be X shaped now (we'll find out later)
- Hull-D and E not coming in 2026
- SCU upgrades for the Drake Ironclad
1536 > 2204 SCU for the regular
1052 > 1440 SCU for the Assault
- Anvil Auxilia, a ground vehicle version of the Drake Clipper (crafter, t2 medbed, silhouette from last year)
- CNOU Forge, crafting ship, also from the silhouettes that will have a larger crafting machine than the Clipper and will have ground extraction like the Pioneer!
- Back right seat of Polaris bridge will get main torpedo control in 4.5
- Pilot will not get torpedo control, as they are far larger than Perseus’.
- Light amplification for ships coming across canopy glass (system called LAMP)
- Carrack getting crafting station in repair room
- Battlecruiser Update: -Invictus Reveal Concept
- Manufacturers releasing next year: Drake, Aegis, RSI, Anvil, MISC, Greys, Origin, GATAC, Greycat
- New Kruger ship: Stingray
- Galaxy next IAE 

[humble anvil]

or does it invalidate when it goes OVER the price

[azure fulcrum]

yes sirree

[azure fulcrum]

if it goes to 0$ or negative then it just poof disappears from your buybacks

I asked irisviel this afternoon lol

[humble anvil]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee okay so it cant go over

[azure fulcrum]

Aye

[humble anvil]

I think Railen to Crucible is a good pull

[azure fulcrum]

so we have to start thinking

112 store credit left I'll get the other ones tomrrow

[humble anvil]

i swear crucible was in a monthly report however

[azure fulcrum]

so every quarter we get a new buyback token I guess?

[humble anvil]

why defender to railen

[tawny fern]

i think ppl say u can just ask support for buybacks if u run out

like

they jsut give them to u lol

[azure fulcrum]

because defender is offered more times a year than terrapin

[humble anvil]

but

oh

[azure fulcrum]

so easier to CCU to

[humble anvil]

just a standard ccu for price increase incase reverse doesnt work

[azure fulcrum]

I know but I'm doing both just in case

[humble anvil]

yes

[azure fulcrum]

I don't have enough buyback tokens

because I have both railen and hull B in buyback rn

[humble anvil]

railen is coming alien week

hull B is coming soon

ish

ironclad maybe defense con?

[azure fulcrum]

yes

[humble anvil]

i swear crucible was mentioned in a monthly report

didnt they say they're working on it

[azure fulcrum]

the battlecruiser concept sale cumming this ILW

[azure fulcrum]

I think you confuse crucible for liberator?

[humble anvil]

oh it was the liberator

[azure fulcrum]

yes liberator is being worked on

[humble anvil]

Finally for the UK team, pre-production kicked off for the Anvil Liberator

shit

[azure fulcrum]

liberator is meh

[humble anvil]

yeah i did the wrong ship xd oh well, untill tomorrow

[azure fulcrum]

its a rather large ship so not coming soon

its insane to me how jared is appointed to update the website ship matrix

they've got a thousand employees and jared has to do all the work lol

[humble anvil]

we have until dec 2

to finalize

[azure fulcrum]

yep

lock em in

[tawny fern]

liberator is another ship that has a remote automated turret in the design

im pretty sure

surely turret blades next year

[azure fulcrum]

website so slow

CCU doesn't even include the 10 year insurance

the last token reset was October 6, 2025

fuck man

[humble anvil]

everything is lagging

something's not right

[azure fulcrum]

ingame is even worse I imagine

[humble anvil]

not even star citizen

seems like everything is kinda folding

[azure fulcrum]

oh january 5 is not that bad!

[azure fulcrum]

wait what

[humble anvil]

i think genuinely, Railen to Asgard/Paladin is a good pull.

[azure fulcrum]

yeah me too!

[humble anvil]

Alien tax + new + Decent cargo capacity

[azure fulcrum]

I want to lock in asgard

[azure fulcrum]

but the consensus for railen seems to be 350 upward

375 I hear a lot

[humble anvil]

get multiple

[azure fulcrum]

yeah I'm gonna cover every angle

theres a lot of new ships coming so maybe asgard is gonna get outdated

in that case I've got the CCUs in my buyback

CNOU Forge, crafting ship, also from the silhouettes that will have a larger crafting machine than the Clipper and will have ground extraction like the Pioneer

O hull B reverse CCU uhhhhhhhhh maybe uhh

[humble anvil]

railen to Galaxy is kinda hoooo

that's kinda a pipe dream

[azure fulcrum]

hmm IDK

o fuck hull B price increase probably be at the same time as hull A/

....

[humble anvil]

hull A is already release

tho

[azure fulcrum]

but it gets a price increase after IAE

[humble anvil]

HOOO

64 scu of cargo

i dont know...

[humble anvil]

thats rough

[azure fulcrum]

speculation is only 10$ increase

I thought they told us how much SCU its gonna increase

[humble anvil]

doesnt say on the site
