galaxy isnt in production yet unless they're doing it without telling us

If anything this would be the meteor.

#

As a gunship captain, nah, not the Perseus fam
Hull angles are all wrong and the weaponry doesn't match known hardpoints on the Pers

odd wind
#

Has the same angles. Wouldn't be too suprised if it came with a redesign for the exterior.

#

Plus it has the same exact missile pod area. Definitely the Meteor.

this is from todays news letter

#

the file name for them is also listed as "meteor s5 gun"

#

oh wait you guys are asking if its the perseus

#

no lol

#

its the meteor mantis varient

#

basically the mantis but its had its QD ripped out and replaced with 2 size 5 bespoke cannons

normal hatch
#

Those guns would surely allow it to "punch above its weight class" as the Meteor is suggested to do on the Mantis chassis. This aint hells chance its the Perseus. Silly thread title.

#

its the meteor, top wing

#

bespoke s5 cannons

south cove
#

that image scale is wrong

#

the laser gun beside the cannon is a size 3

#

that SW can only go up to size 3

#

which means that SW16 isnt even as big as the barrel

this is pretty convincing. also holy power creep batman heavy fighters went from 1s5 4s1 to 8s3 across 2 people to 4s3 4s2 across one person to 2s5 to 4s4 to 2s3 2s5. next heavy fighter gunna match connie pilot dps

perseus will be IAE

#

and any teasers will likely have either a focus or no mention (like it did last time)

#

aka they will either make it obvious or sneak it in

#

and wont be news letter

Brought up by the mightiest of kittens, hints about the yet unseen replacement for the Mantis variant's QED were spotted. Within 3 animation related files, the following strings were spotted:

RSI_Meteor_Anims.adb

<MissileBay scopes="MissileBay" />

RSI_Meteor_ControllerDefs.xml

<Animation name="rsi_meteor_torpedo_doors_retract" />```
## RSI_Meteor_Fragments.xml
```<Tag name="MissileBay" subTagDef="Animations/Mannequin/ADB/Spaceships/spaceshipFragTags.xml" />```
Whether this is explicitly a ***Torpedo*** bay or a ***Missile*** bay is unknown at this point, however the implication is obvious - the RSI Meteor is packing even more firepower than we previously thought.

Now I heard it may be releasing with 4.2.1. Anyone hear the same thing?

normal hatch
#

I don't remember where it was said, but I think thats what is decidedly correct.

flint heath
#

Yes it's mostly been confirmed. And it should be in testing in the next couple builds

flint heath
#

I'd say no more than 2 builds

south cove
#

even if its a dead thread just an FYI but leaks have shown the upcoming dev ICS (or ISC i honestly dont remember) video to be specifically ABOUT the meteor which means its likely we will see it either at the end of this freefly or sometime this week specifically

#

the most 100% confirmed info with this is that its coming out this month at the bare minimum

flint heath
#

The meteor ISC is this Thursday. And it's confirmed to be coming with 4.2.1

quiet prairie
#

honestly Meteor looks pretty cool

burnt hemlock
#

It’s way over gunned for a medium fighter, especially seeing how its bigger than lot of heavy fighters

quiet prairie
#

definitely ain't medium lol

#

i'd call it super heavy

#

that's some unmatched firepower

#

Was planning on the 2 s3 2 s5, but 4 s3? take my money, please! 🤣

quiet prairie
#

pretty sure even F8A don't have that burst damage

Classic power creep

Has the price leaked?

Guess I'm gonna melt my guardian

#

And then I guess melt my meteor when the inevitably nerf it

#

Can't believe they made a ship that punches above its weight

#

That should be the slogan for star citizen

#

Star citizen: punches above its weight

I had ChatGPT do a historical data scrape of all prices and warbonds for all "Heavy Fighters" and then, based on that, make a guess for the Meteor. It said 240-260. This checks out.

i mean mantis is indeed made of paper. Also not exactly a top dogfighter in maneuvering. Think of it as a support ship in a fleet. 2s5 guns is pretty good supporting firepower but if it gets caught out and alone its getting fucked.

#

Where is the Meteor holding all of its ballistic munitions? In its chipmunk cheeks? 🐿️

flint heath
#

I imagine like.... 300?

south cove
#

the meteor has 480 total rounds 240 per gun

No meteor before live? Strange.

yayy the numbers are in

#

So this thing seems like it's life and death is based on it's ability to kill whatever it's targeting in one pass. Fragile otherwise.

#

28.95 hydrogen / 1.15 QT Fuel is abyssmal if it stays that way

random inlet
#

just dont use stock components and thatll fix most issues

steady stag
#

won't fix the fact it can't go half of pyro without a refuel lol

#

but I think i'm the only person who plays this game that doesn't like to refuel every 30 seconds

random inlet
#

not all ships should be able to go across whole systems

flint heath
#

No light fighter should

#

Medium could make some tripes

#

Heavy fighters should be able to travel no more than x2 60GM trips

#

Otherwise what's the point of ship carriers

hot quarry
#

honestly quantum fuel got buffed because liberator didnt make it in time for pyro, thats all there is to it.

flint heath

Yea fr

Its like the human version of the glaive but worse

Meanwhile I’m over here not giving an f because finally there’s a ship with similar design to Star Trek in game that isn’t just a commuter. 🤣

So is Disco paint the concierge one? I really thought it'd be the black and gold

Thing is a literal wet paper bag.

#

For 260?

random inlet
#

Needs a buff to survive, my talon can take more hits

steady stag
#

No clue why they just didn't make it a heavy fighter

hot quarry
#

i mean i do like it being REALLY fast but like its a little TOO squish fast doesnt make survival anymore thats been long since fixed.

#

you see cig cant and will not balance around carrier ships as they arent designed as taxis but means to allow quest chaining for groups

#

by creating inbalance in QT capability for ships you lead to a situation where people have to rely on ships they will never ever have the hopes of owning tieing their gameplay experience to that of another player

#

would you like to not be able to play the game because johny big pockets didnt want to play taxi with his carrier today? or wait 2 hours for a fuel ship to log into your server and come save you?

#

all ships must be capable of their respective gameplay loops on their own terms and without required interaction from other ships or you get problems

#

hence why carriers and support ships are talked about in a "fleet" context because they are meant to be used as a mobile supply point for orgs because of this at no point will they ever be used as a balance metric for other ships

#

Man I really think a door inbetween the cockpit and living space would have added so much and made the interior feel less empty and small

#

I mean it's practically begging for one

the guardian feels more spacious than the meteor

#

but its not

#

some how more feels like less

Perhaps RSI's toss-in for datarunning? 🤔

Throw some servers in there... and bang-o

Maybe a Super Meteor Mk.2 with a turret on top

#

It won’t be called the meteor. New name new ship so any paint you have for the “variant” won’t work on it and if you want to look different than others then you gotta buy the paint for that new ship

young viper

Yeah Meteor Mk.2
