This is the best Polaris action I’ve seen yet, super awesome emergent gameplay and 10/10 sci-fi visuals. I would love to see y’all arrange a boarding party once the enemy capital ship’s engines are down sometime in the future, a dead Polaris would be an awesome battleground.
I suppose capital ships in the future will probably involve a first round of heavy fighters / bombers to take care of PDS followed by the big missiles to finish things off once a shield is down .
@@Foxintox so from what we have seen so far, you can overwhelm the pds with spam. Launch a lot and they can't handle it. Fighters is def key, not to mention way more fun imo!
If I had to guess you have to shoot alot of missiles to over whelm the gun defense. As then send torps or send torps first then missiles sense the torps are slow. But I do feel you can overwhelm the gun defense. The firebird would be a a perfect ship to bring
I had a grin from ear to ear, around 11:49, and at 13:11 was my favorite line, “You know what, here you go,,,I’m going to dumb fire it right into him. 😂
I wonder if you can target lock and shoot the small missiles to overwhelm the Point defense and have the torps come in behind those to hit it. Do the torps and missiles travel at same speeds?
Nice video but I cant help but notice you;re trying to use the ship like a fighter. Its the main reason you werent able to use your torps most the fight is becasue you kept trying to close the gap and chace down the other ship, this ships strength lies in long range combat. You could have let him run just a bit to where you could fire on him like you did evenually at the end which is what allowed you to land big torp damage at the end.
new subscriber flair: ship nuts. also i may need to borrow yer polaris. for my own science, of course. need to see how much rmc you can scrape off one of these bad boys!
Always wondered how capital ship battles would be balanced and be like in SC. This gives a small taste. Much like in real life, seems key is to overwhelm ship defenses...and, to have ship defenses in the first place (i.e. fully manned turret gunners!). I also wonder how easy it will be to dodge/evade and ECM jam incoming torps. Now...good luck evading Railgun on Size 12 Turret shots :D
There was 2 Polaris vs 1 on another guys channel. And they enemy 2 Polaris also had a mantis. Did a mention both Polaris was fully crewed? Yeah and the guy made it out alive at the end. Fought off 2 capital ships 😂
@@stevieboymkii yea a lot of ppl have been fighting npc Idris since they added it way back in the Miles Ekhart mission. gets boring so if pvp emerges, many enjoy that more.
The Polaris looks cool from the outside, but in reality its just meh tbf. Its an perfect example on why CIG fails at everything they try to do halfway properly.
Yeah, interior layout is not great, too many doors leading to the bridge, main elevator is too slow, the buttons on the ship are poorly designed, for example the power off button on the pilot/copilot seat is right below the switch right MFD meaning you turn off the ship entirely if you're not careful, captain's chair is completely useless, the cargo bay sadly can only welcome the same vehicles as most other ships (basically ursa only, at best you can fit a storm but no ballista, spartan or anything bigger, same vehicle cargo as every other ship) so it's pretty disappointing, there are only 2 cells in the brig which is pretty stupid, and the performance itself is very mid, the ship has way too little power, meaning the capacitors on the turrets can only fire for very little time, a lot of times the power to your radar will randomly turn off without you knowing, additionnally the firepower is nothing amazing, the torps work great and are pretty balanced but the turrets specifically the s6 turret could use a serious buff, the bespoke ballistic on the turret that you're not supposed to be able to change is trash and the worst s6 weapon by very far (it took me 5-6 direct hits to kill an npc mustang, this is awful). For a ship that will require engineering, heavy and expensive maintenance (it currently does, the repair and restock costs are ludicrously high already) nothing would ever make me want to take this over most other multicrew ships and certainly wouldn't make me and my org want to abandon our single seat fighters which dominate. Not to mention the countless bugs like for example the missing turret pips, the bugged ship health status UI or the inability to retrieve at any space station that doesn't have a XL hangar and uses docking (the ship clips into the station and you can't use it) Overall it's a bit of a letdown, I knew it was going to be a reality check and really not be great for pvp but I thought it would at least be excellent against other multicrew ship and be a force to be reckoned with in pve, but so far it's really not, it's a crew intensive and pretty ineffective ship, there's still hope CIG balances it but seeing as though they failed/ignored balance of every single multicrew ship because they're utterly ignorant of how their own game actually plays I don't have much hope. besides it'll get the same "you don't understand : X mechanic/feature will potentially come in the next 5-10 years if they don't scrap it, so they have to balance it around that, it's perfectly fine if they balance it around that right now and never even attempt to change a few variables to at least give it a temporary fix" cope so there's really no point in complaining
Fully crewed Polaris vs Solo Polaris without ability even shoot torps? now you can proud of yourself lol. I dont see anything heroic in this fight its stupid and not interesting at all, even NPC ship can do mutch more than this solo Polaris.
@@arthurvartanov2573 video games aren't heroic.. and if you paid attention, the fight started cuz he launched a torp at us. Must suck to go through life without any joy.

If you aren't into the spaceship porn, fight starts at 7:45 o7
good to know, I'll check it out after watching the beginning in 30 minutes
The Spaceship Porn was top quality. The fighting was just icing on the cake.

@@addisonkirtley1691 thanks! So glad you enjoyed it. We considered boarding but decided against it. Just wanted that final splash satisfaction 😜
Great, fun video as always, Bons. What a gorgeous ship and such an accomplishment for the team that built it. Cannot wait for the Perseus
Great capital ship battle with those Polariss.... uhhh... Polarii?
Polaroids!
Polaks?
Polar boys
I can’t wait for it to hit LIVE!
crazy ship battles incoming. ;)
@@Nemethon you know it!
I can't wait to pull up to these kinds of fights with the Perseus fully manned...
@@CaptainSink I'm with you. Perseus or bust!

great job making this. good music and camera shots
Nicely done! As others have said, the key is to overwhelm the PDS's with other missiles at the same time.
Well done guys! Very well played! o7
This looked fun 😂👍🏻 great video!
You need to have fighters launch missles when you shoot the torps. It overwhelms the pds
If I had to guess you have to shoot alot of missiles to over whelm the gun defense. As then send torps or send torps first then missiles sense the torps are slow. But I do feel you can overwhelm the gun defense. The firebird would be a a perfect ship to bring
Great video!!
Take a shot every time you hear "torps."
Call emergency
I’m sure this will get bigger and better
Here from the stream just now. Love the channel.
@@Arcturius01 thanks for the support! There's tons of videos to enjoy and many more to come. Thanks for the support!
Can't wait to get onboard my own Polaris.
No Science was actually harmed during the making of this video.
Good video. Would have been cool to do a slow flyby at the end to see the hull damage. Is the interior fully fleshed out?
@@RickOShay yea absolutely.. was 6 hours into the session and was getting delirious 😂
Great video
Its a shame the other polaris wasnt fully crewed too
This was so dope. I cannot wait for the Perseus to come out as well!!! I actually want to play SC again
@@greyeyes3333 Perseus is by far my #1 most anticipated ship ever!
@@ForScienceSCsame, I look how it looks more then the Polaris too
I had a grin from ear to ear, around 11:49, and at 13:11 was my favorite line, “You know what, here you go,,,I’m going to dumb fire it right into him. 😂
Dumb fire, not dump fire. Dumb firing is firing without a lock.
@@jazzman782000 that’s what I meant to write 😅
@ 👍 Although I do kind of like “dump fire”… it still fits in a way.
editing is top
@@legion1yt thanks! Really appreciate it 😁
Somebody panicked real hard over distant torpedoes that - predictably - were reliably intercepted by PDC. Lol.
@@shaftoe195 we like to let go and enjoy ourselves
God darn that 80s music in the background
I wonder if you can target lock and shoot the small missiles to overwhelm the Point defense and have the torps come in behind those to hit it. Do the torps and missiles travel at same speeds?
@@brandonhalcyon6984 missiles should be a little faster. We got hits when we started launching 4 toros at a time tho.
@@ForScienceSC very cool, thank you
Great encounter. Would have been cool to board the wreck on camera. 👍
@@jimc7022 we were so deep into the play session it all kinda slipped my mind. There's always next time!

How well does a talon fit in one of these?
Haven't tried but you can fit two Scorpius or six arrows so I'm assuming great!
The "tail" feathers stick a bit over the airshield, but it fits well with no clipping
Whats the large opening above the ramp?
Polaris is the best large ship to come around since the Carrick I think
new subscriber flair: ship nuts.
also i may need to borrow yer polaris. for my own science, of course.

@@Adalla we survived 3 S10 railgun shots from the Idris! Much balancing ahead.
where did you put those 2 mammoths. Anyone have a good polaris loadout yet?
I think this is the fight agaisnt Phase1 streamer. He only had 1 gunner
The Polaris is a perfect box deliverer!

How much was it to re arm the torps
@@geofftuck8979 haven't tried yet since you havta load them manually. Just been reclaiming the ship.
@@ForScienceSC oh damn, that's nuts
Awesome 😊
Not entirely clear why players are fighting each other rather than going after the Idris?
@@stevieboymkii cuz it's fun. Fighting NPCs gets very boring in SC after years of doing it
@ForScienceSC I just meant at a mission site. Seemed like the other Polaris just immediately decided to fight you rather than the mission Idris.
@@stevieboymkii yea a lot of ppl have been fighting npc Idris since they added it way back in the Miles Ekhart mission. gets boring so if pvp emerges, many enjoy that more.
Was this with foxy?
@@italydude515 idk what that is
Seems like the 2 of you are flying cap ships like fighters. why are you jousting?
Omfg it’s huge I wanna ride in it lol
Join the discord! Could always use more crew!
Thank God for the "in" lol
