    You have to be able to hide in those snow drifts, in space.

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    You are correct, just under 3 seconds. My bad. I don't consider a Size 7 gun to be point defense. But hey if it is firing at torps instead of ships, that is a win. Low rate of fire and low muzzle velocity vs. a high speed target, on an STS mount should not be the most effective AAA in the...

    The Size 3 Gatling point defense system has a 2.5km range.

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    They are currently 980 m/second, laughably slow, since both my Carrack and my Star Runner can simply run away from them. (As can a Hammerhead.) Which means they cross the engagement range of those size 3 point defense turrets of the Perseus in less than a third of a second. They should be...

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    Look where the Point Defense turrets are. They are Size 3 GT220, which has, around, a 3500 meter range. Only one of the turrets has a shot if fired at from the front or either beam. Size 9 torps are slow but travel at 980m/s. If the torpedoes are not launched one at a time but 4+ at a time, then...

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    The Ares has 4 size 5 missile hardpoints. AFAIK they are not bespoke, which means each Ares can carry and launch in one salvo 4x size 5 torps.

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    Based on the specs it is one of the few large ships my Retaliator can actually run down. With a crew of 6, I rather put 6 Ares in space or 4 Ares and a Sentinel. With two point defense turrets, one having only a rear arc, this is an ambush ship, without stealth. It is going to need lots of...

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    Perseus looks like torpedo bait. I am definitely underwhelmed.

    Is the Perseus useful to the org?

    Unless there is something truly special about it, no. With what we already have it is a slot we don't need filled. The two slots that we are likely to need filled is a Fighter Carrier (more capacity than a Kraken) and an LHA, once they get around to that.

    What drives the price increases?

    Supply being artificially restricted vs. demand for those ships.

    Building new PC - possible to use 2 different cards with SC, 1660 and 2070?

    Star Citizen does not understand two cards. If it did they would likely need to be the same card.

    Now that is a Color scheme I would spend money on for my fleet. Interesting thought on that video. How do I get my Retaliator to keep up with a Mercury and maneuver that well?

    For me it was Yesterday and the day before. Less of my fleet is Aegis than it used to be but between those two days, I got properly reorganized. Now if I could just change the number on the Retaliator from 42 to 73, and get a consistent "Air Superiority Gray" (Though a little darker) or black...

    I saw the accents I was hoping for proper Test Colors since that is the Expo colors this year.

    Something about white, in the black of space for a stealth ship, just feels wrong to me.

    Javelin components is in the game?

    Going to need server meshing and a major increase in server cap before we get anything with an actual crew of 10+. So no I don't see it as any time soon.
