I think people need to realize this is the 'small' capital ship. It has little redundancy cos it's the 'fast and squishy' of cap ships. It's to cap ships what the Cutlass and Spirit are to medium ships, small, nimble, soft. Logistically, you'll be fielding multiples of these to match any other capital ship in combat. Or more likely you won't be taking on cap ships, you'll punch down, at things below your weight class.
With yesterday's patch, they buffed the primary cannon of the ship to be a real threat to ships as large as the HH, and good for removing part of other Capitals, and todays build made the PDC's a more open threat with the ability to both target ships, and dumbfired ordnance. You can effectively passively solo Pirate Swarm with it, though the ODC's are more temperamental in the PU.
It already has been balanced, its main targets like the 890 and other Polaris have been given PDS rendering it's torps useless. The only way torps will hit is if you fire it at point blank range like a shotgun.
Too many Polaris and te servers will die. Feel sorry for the Idris when it eventually becomes flyable, hunted down by fleets of battle hardened Polaris.
I thought I was going to regret not picking one up when cheap. Then when they said it would launch at IAE I thought it might be a good way to get to my next concierge level... but I stole and spent an hour with one. It doesn't do much for me. I can hardly find 4 crew, never mind 14 or whatever. Probably grab an Odyssey this IAE seeing that the Starlancers are so perfect. I bought the MAX, TAC. I have plenty of store credits for the BLD version if sold at IAE, and I've been waiting for IAE to bump up my level. Perfect fleet? Maybe.
It wasn’t even a capital ship to begin with 😂😂😂 if people say it’s not what was expected than they are legitimately just haters. Or not was was expected because we got more than what was originally planned. This thing has been buffed like crazy, and not just for initial release. Was meant to be smaller, only have large components, turrets have been buffed like crazy and they have said they havemay buff it even more. and better laid out torpedos. Way more storage and lot bigger hanger/bigger size in general. This was meant to be a boom and zoom ship and now it can be pretty decent at slugging it out with ships. TLDR: Was meant to be torpedo boat corvette class, now small capital class torpedo boat. Way better than original concept. Hell even in the original brochure and page I’m pretty sure it’s described as a corvette class capital destroyer 😂

I think it’s main combat advantage is you can outrun what will kill you and outgun what can catch you
Squishy? From what I heard is has beeen made quite a bit tougher so can hold it's ground instead of having to run due to being made of paper.
"Squishy" to other cap ships. Its still a cap ship.

You have a good speaking voice, imma gone head and sub
I am waiting for the balance the Polaris will go through!
lol. Let’s not think about it now and enjoy our box missions with Polaris!
@ agreed!

@@DemiGod.. can you overwhelm the PDS if you fire missiles with the torpedoes

All the work that should have gone into the Polaris medbay went into the medical Terrapin instead.
Indeed! Polaris's medbay is so bland!
I have a feeling the real polaris will release next year, yeah that med bay is ugly. We don't even have signage on the medbay door

You are right. Hopefully they get rid of it and give us the corvette back.
Nah, not for me.
