Anyone else notice at the beginning when the Scorpius takes off hes a traitor? Trying to shoot the torpedos to save the idris 😂

We need an updated video on this. They changed the polaris.

Me an the Bois back in the day held down port Oli against every fighter and 2 other hammerheads. It was crazy, only went down because the last Hammerhead rammed me.

Okay, before I finish the video: Hot take: Do you want to be effective with a crew of 3, or 6? Do you want a bigger Redeemer or a bigger Carrack? That's how you answer which is best for you. Everything right now, engineering, weapon power, balance, will all change. But the roles and crew needs will not (save NPC AI you can hire, maybe). Things like torpedo speeds and effectiveness will all change. For a little more: Now really is NOT the time to be theorycrafting on which ship is best. The only thing you can count on is ship roles. And even those might shift a little. Imagine how you would like to play the game, focus on what style of combat appeals to you, and get a ship that matches that. Even if it seems to suck right now. CIG has done a very good job iterating on everything over time and tweaking things to make the game fun. But a lot of systems haven't even been added to the game, so some stuff will just suck or be unbalanced until all the systems get in and can get tested and balanced out. It will be a long time. Or if you really want, buy the best ship for your style as the game is right now. Just be ready to melt it and buy something new every couple months, and be prepared to spend a lot more money to chase the meta until things settle a few years from now. Buy the Polaris to zoom around and enjoy the new hotness. Then when the Percy comes out, melt the Polaris and get the Percy and have fun zooming around and going pewpew. Problem solved.

I know people meme the crap out of this. But I fully intend to use my Polaris as a solo cargo hauler and I'm not even ashamed. 😂 Having said this. Polaris is going to be completely useless at release unless you are part of a decently organized org. But I think this will get fixed/resolved once the social aspect of the game releases like organizing mission goals/group job posts for players to sign up with. But as a Polaris owner - it's gonna be hilariously useless at release. 😂😂😂

I foresee Capitol size torpedoes moving faster than people realize. I could be wrong but I bet they’re gonna be a lot faster than the Retaliators torpedo. Can’t wait to see it up close 😅

I dont understand why people arent excited for multicrew combat ships. Just because you dont make money? Even dualing hammer heads and stuff is super fun. Polaris and perseus are gonna be awesome

Thought the perseus was bigger. Maybe it gets a size increase

Better get the little one

Never buy a ship that is not in the work. Its a good advice.

lol ..are ou choosing to be scammed for more or less this is the question Stop this !

3:59 Agree that ideally you'd want to launch a torp as late as possible... BUT, let's not forget these aren't rockets/missiles and not quite as easily evaded... Not sure how they work right now, but they have worked like that in the past AND cig mentioned it also. So the Eclipse is really the only ship I can think of right now, where that's intended behavior, everything else is meant to rely on the torps being good.

Lets see what they do with the Perseus, maybe they upgun it to s9 and it might grow like 20-40 meter.

If they upgrade the top turret to 4 s5 guns they will probably be split up and 2 are given to the copilot

I am EXTREMELY disappointed that I will not see the Galaxy in game any time soon. The reality is it might be several more years before we see the Galaxy flying. This is getting ridiculous now to the point that I think Chris needs to be removed as managing director. But that is a separate issue. I'm focusing now on the Perseus because I think it would make a cool pirate ship. Supposedly, we will see the Perseus soon in 2025. With the way things are going though, we'll be lucky if we even see the Perseus in Star Citizen.

Great video but it does remind me how much the fury MX annoys me instead of adding all of the missiles they should have just loaded up a few torpedoes instead

Polaris was always a better ship than Perseus. That said Perseus will power creep as well before its flight ready, and damn Perseus is sexy. Thats why I have a Perseus in my hangar instead of a polaris

Believe me 1 thing, the Perseus wont stay that small :) Also its a waste of time anyway, as we wont get anything out of those ships, atleast for the next 6-8 years.

They both look awesome. If I had the money I would just buy both 😂

its not 1000000 dps you clown, its 1m total damage per ammo load.

I have both Perseus will be my main ship but polaris will be used by my org

Interesting perspective. I think it depends on a variety of factors which ship you prefer. I have both and will adapt it to the respective gameplay. It probably won't always be easy to fully man a Polaris. Both ships are very effective, especially in fleet formations, and have both advantages and disadvantages. But in the end it's probably a shame. Thanks for the great video and keep it up. Greetings from Switzerland.

They seemes to have been working on the Polaris for years and the Perseus is expected to have a single year dev time. It is pretty obvious which one is getting more love from papa CIG.

its crazy the is no enemy for the polaris if it comes out

It looks cooler, I like top bridges, and big guns are cooler than missiles. I also like more manageable (smaller) ships, because realistically what if someone needs to run to the other side of the ship to put out a fire (by the time this is actually out that'll probably be an issue)

welcome in polaris team

I'm impatient to see what the Perseus will be 🤩 But, if you comper a 100 people fleet VS 30 people fleet of course it will not be fare from the star, at least VS 60 it will😁

I buy polaris for cargo mission and solo play 😂

Both, both are good.

did they even mention when the perseus is ever coming? or just another jpeg? it looks so cool but this game...

" buying ship simulator game "

If the Perseus had the two turrets up front then covered it's under section and rear sections with PDS turrets I would be more keen on it. Just waiting on a big boi Anvil combat ship.

I couldn't choose so now i have 2 of both i like the low crew count of the perseus but the polaris being a cap now makes it far more interesting to me

I've got both! though the I'm looking to use the Polaris more like a Mobile Base and the Perseus as a coop ship for events with friends

You run with pirates? Me too. Who are you're people?

I have the Perseus and Polaris, but I am also sitting on a hammerhead and CCU from hammer to Polaris.. so my choice is do I just up the hammerhead into a 2nd Polaris 😅

I can see the polaris being more on the outskirts of battle, waiting for perfect moment to rush in, shoot torps and get the hell out of there as fast as possible.

Just wonder what make you feel that ppl will want to fighter in Furys as they are shooted down in second and risk to die while we get death of a spaceman

I originally was going to draw the line at crew requirements with the Perseus, also at size, the polaris it more of a big group / clan / org ship in my opinion, people still thinking they can daily drive it solo, I highly doubt it it will be so with the final balance changes, a lot of ships require crew to get the most benefit out of a ship, think perseus, hammerhead, carrack, redeemer, starlancer, hurricane, the list goes on, even the industrial ships, the more potential power a ship has, the more crew it requires. The only reason I still have the Perseus and Carrack is because the perseus is original concept and the Carrack being a red alert variant, for most of it I actually removed everything larger, I was going to draw the line the 600i which had enough firepower for the pilot but after the rework also enough utlity (essentially a smaller carrack), but engineering made me rethink a lot of what I'd want. I'm now at the point where I only pick ships that I can utilize most of myself, so fighters (gladius, vanguard, ares, hornet) perhaps I'll get a hurricane again because I also still have a gladiator which also requires crew for the turret, albeit it there it's an extra instead of a neccesaty. If I could get a refund on both the Polaris, Perseus and Carrack I would, and then just be a gunner for someone else's Zeus, I'd stick with the andromeda as my biggest ship and the handful of fighters on the side. To reword it, the only reason I still have them is cause otherwise it would just be store credit sitting in my account.

Both will die to 4 furys lol.

They need to make ships with smaller radars harder to detect missiles and torpedoes especially at longer ranges like a real radar.

Who will fly those Furys? Surely for the same number of people you can crew multiple Polaris ships

Just ram whatever ship there is right now, in game, with the Polaris, at full speed, instead of using torps. it's gonna survive anyway.

You should keep your money instead of buying virtual ship the price of a small dirt bike😂

once capital ships are a little more present in the verse, people will realize that sticking in a formation and allow the PDS to overlap its fields of fire, missiles and torps will be more of a first strike with fighters type of weapon, as fighters die off, the big guns will be doing more of the damage. so moving ships into and out of LOS of enemy guns depending on shield levels and damage will be a capital tactic. fighter tactics against a fleet of capitals will be hard to win. remember, capital ships are going to be flying bricks.

The Perseus and Polaris are designed to work together if you look from a naval point of view. Especially in a fleets. The Polaris is at low crew ship sure soloing no

Where does 1 million dps for the turret come from? I seriously doubt the turrret does that. Probably less than 10k
