    People don't understand if you have an (Idris / Kraken / Javalin) in an organisation or clan battle and a Polaris jumps in you are probably going to start sweating a lot especially if you're locked into a fight because the way that CIG has talked about the Polaris is it's meant to hit extremely hard and run and even if it does get locked in a fight it's still going to be extremely tough to take out. ( I'm not saying it is the best capital ship but if used correctly it will be deadly. )

As a backer for about 5+ yrs ive finally knuckled down with a decent fleet and the core large ships including the Nautilus and Orion, i would luv an Idris, yet i dont really want the logistics of exceeding the Polaris crew count, i still need to join a Group/Org, i have been solo until now, and am excited to explore all the game loops and depth Org gameplay brings to the table.

    Polaris should come with a RSI Nursa, becuase it makes the most sense and they should increase the vehicle bay size so that it may accommodate a tank. Just a few hopeful dreams from a Polaris owner. Also, similar to you, I just upgraded my concept Carrack to the Polaris with $106, so in total, I paid $406 for this ship which is a banger deal imo

  • @Tacticalpanda757
    @Tacticalpanda757 Місяць тому +2

    One thing I want to know or Id love to see from the Polaris is the ability to strike ground targets with its torpedos from low orbit. Say youre raiding a bunker. 2 torpedos onto the surface of that bunker all the turrets are destroyed and whatever ground support they have is crippled allowing the landing crew to get in unscathed. That would be amazing

    Missiles are so useless right now, im concerned the torpedoes being its main method of engagement, will make the Polaris far less effective than she should be.
    I fired off 3 torpedoes in my eclipse against the Bugsmasher pirate swarm idris, about 4000km away. The Idris was the last ship left, it's turrets were engaged fighting the UEE fighters and two other UEE Idris. The torps didn’t even make it 500m before the point defense systems took them down.
    In order to torp a ship, they basically need to be "dead in the water". The point defense systems will need to be disabled first, even then the engines will need to be disabled as well to prevent the target from flaring off the torp and moving.

      A lot of the XML data is placeholder, I'm sure Grim would caution against taking it as gospel right now, especially because the cargo hold isn't modeled yet, even in the files. Wonder if it's including the room used for torps or if it completely placeholder

    The way I see this ship, and I'll try to stick to the "naval" approach that CIG seems to have:
    Since I see the IDRIS as a cruiser and the Javelin as a destroyer, I would see the Polaris as a submarine.
    You try to get into hostile territory or patrol without making too much noise, monitoring your surroundings.
    You could also pack several mid/small ships to patrol around with you or to scout, since remember, a hangar is to store a ship, but you could have them only use your hangar to refuel, rearm, make emergency repairs, and fly off once done, to stay on the flight longer.
    You move slowly, probably with all your systems, besides the radar, at mid/low power to lower your signal.
    And, once you encounter a threat, you could take two approaches:
    A) You use (the supposed) speed that it has to rush in, deliver your cargo, and rush out.
    or
    B) You stay low, slowly approach, lock on, drop, and GTFO. That tactic could be even better if one of your carried ships is an Eclipse, which could position itself exactly on the other side of your target so you could make a pincer attack.
    I know all of this is just a "castle of sand," but man, am I excited for this thing.
    Cannot wait to have it.

      seeing the javelin as a destroyer and the idris as a cruiser makes no sense speaking in naval terms, should be the otherway round. how i see it is the polaris is a destroyer, if you look at WW2 destroyers they had a mix of guns and torpedoes (except a few which focused more on guns) so it makes sense, the idris is also a destroyer but gun focused (tho tbh its just a light carrier), the Javelin is most defo a cruiser class ship made to brawl with other ships

Reason why I compare SC ships with Ww2 ships is because modern day ships don't use guns much, it's all missiles, now with that reasoning I definitely think the javelin is a heavy cruiser, idris tbh could be considered a light cruiser

      ​@@TheRealHIPER As I understood in WW2 naval terminology:
      Destroyers acted as the fleet's "Joker," leveraging their speed and maneuverability for tasks that larger vessels couldn't handle as efficiently.
      (Idris) Cruisers functioned as an intermediate class in terms of firepower and size, providing greater offensive capabilities while maintaining some level of agility.
      (Retribution) Battleships were the premier capital ships, equipped with the most powerful guns and the thickest armor for direct engagements.
      and
      Submarines played with stealth and surprise attacks, using their ability to operate underwater to target enemy ships undetected.

I'm confident about the ease of finding missions for the Polaris because of the stipulation "competent crew", any skilled player is worth his weight in gold and an organized combat group is priceless.

    I highly doubt it, but it would be great if the Polaris radar showed the range (colored ring) of the hostile ships radar to aid in not being detected? ;-)
    Once "blind spot" were mentioned, I envisioned the Captain ordering evasive maneuvers to the Pilot (thus warning gunners) to bring any lesser used or unused weapons to bare for its defense and hopefully, placing the "blind spot" to a location not being attacked (surprising the enemy)?
    This would provide the Captain and Pilot roleplaying opportunities and having the gunners and XO adapt to the changes of targets (maybe a break)?

    I am interested in the Polaris & the Capital ship GamePlay it can bring, we know that the Idris will be a mighty bruiser, a bull dog that can fight even with the big boys. (Javelin or bigger)
    However - if the Torpedoes of the Polaris are not made to be effective, then it will be an issue for it to take on high value targets.
    The recent decision CIG shared with us on the last episode of ISC before their break in June, to consider upsizing the guns on the Polaris will be what makes this ship a serious consideration.
    I believe that for PvE bounty missions, search & rescue, due to the radar size maybe even exploration can be a viable alternative for this ship.
    It will be great for all for all of the above. Maybe even the pinnacle of that loop. Lets hope it can participate in large scale engagements and not just to exist as a big bully for the ships under the Capital size.
    I currently own an Arrastra, which i believe will be a very valuable ship in the future, however i am considering a very nice chain where i can get the Polaris for a good decent discount. (over 40% as my Arra is already heavily discounted) I am just wondering if my other ships can offset the costs of running such a big ship.
    Lets hope it will be able to chain ERT contracts 1after the other. And that having light capital ship armor is sufficient for it to survive in dangerous engagements.
    If nothing else it is one of the best looking ships to date, even the interior is looking great so far. When they finish it i think it will be an incredible experience to be a marine on board a Polaris.

    I always a wanted a polaris, I really loved getting the bigger ships, but over the last 2 years I started downsizing, based on crewing concerns and the engineering gameplay, the maintenance work + effort into properly crewing these ships is gonna be too much hassle not worth it for me.
    When I saw in the org how... clumsy people are when just trying to man a hammerhead, like I was at the meeting point 5-10 minutes after we decided to, but others took half an hour so me and ship owner were just sitting around waiting, this concern grows the more crew is needed and now with engineer that's even worse.
    As such I've basically scrapped all big ships off my list, melted my liberator, odyssey and polaris (just got an ILW 10-year insurance instead of my LTI one).
    The biggest I have left now are the carrack (the only reason I still have that is cause it's red alert, otherwise I would've melted that too), 600i explorer and perseus.
    Everything else is medium sized (Vulcan, Apollo, Zeus MR and A1) and small like fighters (C8R, harbinger, ares ion, hurricane) and ursa medical.
    At the end of last year my account value was just over 6000, now it's sitting at 3600~ as I also sold off some of my credit to the gray market.
    Had some real buyer's remorse as in hindsight I wish I hadn't spent so much on the game and just kept it to my original weekend warrior (super hornet) starter pack upgraded to harbinger, then earn everything else in-game.

    I think Polaris, Hammerhead, and Perseus will be a large ship strike team. Polaris for command and control + heavy strike damage on large capital ships. Hammerhead as a defensive anti-torpedo and anti-fighter screen to protect the Polaris. While the Perseus takes out larger ships that would threaten Polaris and bring sustained damage and precision targeting on large ships and capital ships that the Polaris is engaging.

      @@Space-Tech This is so true, we are going to need NPC crew and or AI blades to make it viable. I could see people using AI/NPC for the 2 point defense turrets on Persus which will drop your crew need down from 6 to 4. and Hammerhead use AI/NP for top and bottom turret to drop its crew requirement to from 8 to 6. Polaris I feel like most the turrets could be NPC or AI controlled especially because they are largely defensive, maybe manning the large S5 turret. That could save what 4 or 5 people. bringing the crew to some where around 8-10. 20 people is a pretty large group, but I think its doable, at least for an org event of some kind.

    It's such a cool ship, but I'm afraid that such powerful missiles will make gunships like the perseus completely obsolete. Why go broadside with a ship and take a while to kill it when you can send one torp from miles away and leave? I know there are anti torp measures, but there's no way you couldn't just send a few to ensure a kill. How do you balance that?

    Looks like Eclipse could be fit into Polaris.
    Nice roleplay Polaris corvete with mega torps and Eclipse stealth bomber with good torps, and you will be able to restok while in space.
    Imagine.
    You come to mission.
    Stop before enemies detect you.
    Come out with Eclipse hi hit hit from 5-9km with stealth mode, so no detection for you.
    Come back. Restock.
    Come back to get more enemies.
    We could only imagine how big a difficult missions could be.
    I think for capital shils will be equwalent missions. Like for Galactic matter or at least for system whre are you fighting for.
    One not best aspect is that.
    Capitals will be hunted.
    When game will be released.
    We will get wars.
    Clans\guilds\just gankers.
    750k shields, with all into shield that will be ever 1kk. Lets say 1kk shield.
    How many Size 9 torps need?
    Size 9 tops do something arond 100-150k damage.
    If formula of damage similar to EVE Online (bigger targed more damage).
    So need 7-10 Size 9 torps.
    So that 3-4 Eclipse in squad.
    That is real. And that will be REAL pain for ALL big ships. And they will not able to do nothing with that.
    I dont beleave that all Large or Capital ship will be fully equpped with crew.
    Most of ships will be played as solo.
    So Im 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999%%% Sure that AI will be implemented into game.
    Otherwise Anything Larger that more of Medius shilps will be dead.
    You could play once, twice.
    But after some time you will be tired of difficult gameplay of Large or Cap sships.
    So AI will do better job for sub and cap ships. It will be possible to manage.
    Imagine 10 Size 9 torps price is 3-5k lets say even 10k so 100k \\\Price of Polaris will be something 30KK and more.
    Plus some stock and gear on ship.
    Same thing with BanuM and Idris and other ships.
    I dont know how. But BIG don't mean good. At least for now.
    Probably torps will be countered by other torps.
    Im suprpriced why ingame still no beam lasers...
    They will be 100% counter torps.
