      Nah, you underestimate how many people gonna have someone in Captains Chair just to use that camera to get good footage or pics or to do bad role play as captains giving orders. And then there are those wild-@$$ paramilitary orgs and crews that will genuinely use a Captain giving orders effectively. My bet is only 30/50 got no one wasting time in the Captains chair while in active use, and only 1/500 will have NO ONE sit in the chair at some point durring its time out of dock.

    What do you want the ship to do is the best way to answer this question.
    Do you want a ship that can hit and run, without being at risk for long engagements, and survive on every single run? If your answer is yes, you want the polaris.
    Do you want a ship that gets into the fight, stays in the fight until the fight is over, tanks whatever is out there the whole time, and blasts back? Then you want the Perseus.
    They are both corvettes with the same overall intent; punch above the weight class and hit other ships of the line really damn hard, disrupt other fleets or force recons, and survive. How they do that is what makes the difference. Do you want to sit there and slug it out, brawl with everything else on the field, or do you want to approach, evaluate the engagement, then pick a single target, hit it as hard as you can with the biggest hammer you can swing, and then regroup? Whichever you choose will determine the ship you pick.
    If you want to do both, pick up one of both.
    Oh, just one correction. The Polaris as listed on RSI's information has four racks of torpedoes with 7x torps in each rack. It has 28 torps.

      5 months late but god this is so many people. People buying massive Multi-crew ships that need Turret gunners, Engineers, other roles and at minimum, 5-6 people. Only to then turn around, complain and whine that it can't be used solo at 'all'. Or, even if they can stuff Blades and NPC's into it. It's drastically ineffective. Big ships are for MULTIPLAYER. GROUPS. There is a plethora of ships meant for solo usage and yet, you've got all of these solo haulers Buying Caterpillars and C2's. Or Combat Pilots wanting an Idris or a Polaris, while turning around to say they hate working with others.

    I imagine using the Polaris much like I use the Carrack, it's my home base even solo, I park 4 fury fighters in the hanger, park the carrack 20km away from my target, complete missions and fly back, if I die, my Carrack is outfitted with replacement gear and I love flying it solo or with a group. I think the Polaris will just be the RSI version of that but better because of the larger hanger, better components and it's going to feel awesome to fly.

  • @stoneguard
    @stoneguard 6 місяців тому +10

    Good advice, but I have a very specific use case for my Polaris: Mobile base. I don't intend to fight in it much, but using it as a base of operations in Pyro, especially when I have any of my friends with me. When I don't, 600i (post rework) will probably be the way to go. It's a lot of ship to only use for that, but with starting with a referral bonus ship and all my long term CCUs, my Polaris is only $130, so totes worth it to me. Still sitting on an upgrade to an Odyssey though, cause that might end up being the better base.

    • @dan7564

      I bought the perseus, looking a the price difference it's hard to justify not going a little further for the Polaris. But I liked the minimal crew needed for the perseus as opposed to my hammerhead. And in terms of a mobile base I also have a kraken. So I didn't need two mobile bases and the agility of the perseus seems like it would make a better escort ship for the kraken.
      Considering the kraken is still probably a half decade off of getting worked on. I hope they give us a Polaris as a substitute until they make the kraken.

    Food, drink, RMC, ammo, armour, weapons, etc, will all be part of prepping ships prior to missions, which will likely make losing one, a lot more painful, due to all the prep, especially for missions several JP away. That will likely be one of the major limiting factors for the solo players, as it will be safer in fleets, and with an actual crew.

    @leonhart7306 5 місяців тому

    Seems to me that the Nursa was a pretty decent buff to the Perseus, giving it access to a med bed and something to use if you end up doing some planetside stuff. Between that and the ability to house a snub or two like a Mirai Fury, even if you end up having an extra person or two over the recommended crew, you could probably find a use for them, and it adds to the versatility of the ship (granted it still doesn't rival Polaris's versatility). A snub or two could also help the Perseus to better withstand fighter swarms, which are speculated to be one of its weaknesses.
    To me, selling points for the Perseus over the Polaris are mainly that its easier to crew (between NPC crew and AI blades you could probably make it work comfortably with 3 people), missiles for the pilot allowing them to have more fun in combat, and lower operating costs. The thing is built to use its massive guns and armored hull to bully sub cap ships, and its ammo is likely to be a lot cheaper than the massive missiles the Polaris will be throwing.

    Ever since my Redeemer got nerfed from Gunship to Glorified Heavy Fighter. I've been thinking of upgrading to a Polaris. I wanted a gunship. A Crew ship. something to take after ERT's and cause some real damage. But that was before I was reminded the Perceus exists.
    Looking at it, the Polaris is much more of a Fleet ship, something to be used in large battles. The perceus is definitely more of a versatile platform. something to go Hunting Bounties or to fly supportive in bigger groups. Maybe it's not as well armed and armored. Or capable as a Missile boat. But it's definitely more Role Fitting for more jobs

    I have to agree with much of what you were saying about the Perseus being a far better choice for smaller groups. Me personally, I love the Perseus for what it offers, and as far as not having a med bed I say this. Bring a Nursa (Ursa Medical) and problem solved, which is what I will be doing. The fact it has 2 big gun turrets and at least one remote small gun turret is a big selling point to me and I am sure many others.
    At the end of the day, for a daily driver for doing bunkers and bounties I see the Perseus being the goto ship for many people. It also doubles as backup in all scenarios that I can think of. Need some extra firepower? Grab a Perseus and 3 or 4 people and you are set.
    There are really only 2 things holding this ship back in my eyes. The shields seem weak for it, but have read that the armor is really good... and also the smaller gun turret seems to be just the one, and would be nice to have a second smaller gun turret. So aside from the shields being mediocre and the single smaller gun I give this an 8 out of 10. No medical bed also holds it back, but can fit an Ursa Medical, so there is that.
    Also, having 2 shields like the Hercules line has would also be nice big bonus.

    For me, its the Perseus. Always has been, always will be. I was never excited about the Polaris because the bridge is up front and center whereas the Perseus looks like a more traditional warship. (it just fits my aesthetics. Also big fuckoff guns. Big Guns Go Boom.)
    I'll definitely be buying a Perseus in the future from the store. Ain't no way I am spending half a year to a year grinding for that thing in the 'verse one day when the game is released.

    I really like your prediction on how the Polaris will spend most of its time in a hangar next to an empty Hammerhead for most people. This is a point I've been stressing to all of my org friends who have them. We can only get about 4-6 people online on a very good day, of which there are few, and more than half of them have a Polaris. Not looking very good in my opinion.

    This was such a good video, I hate to say that the desire for 'big ship, rawr' pulls hard at me. I've got some CCUs to get to a Polaris, but your thoughts on the Perseus made a lot of sense - I don't do a big org, maybe 3-4 people at most generally, and my average use case is 1-2 people. I don't really need a Polaris, and there's nothing stopping me from buying it in game one day! Thanks for thinking rationally for me 🤣.

    That is a thing that I have always thought about capital class ships. You should get them unless your getting them for an org. I think people think that they can just hire a bunch of NPCs (in the future) and it will basically but a giant win button. But, I don't know how well that is going to work. I do think that hiring a bunch of NPCs to work in the mess or mop the floors, but I don't know if I want them doing the engineering.

    Great informative video! I went ahead with that Perseus seeing as that was the one and only big ship I wanted to get for me and my old buddies. Saw the design, love it and now I'm finally investing in it! It's true that you can always get the ships ingame, but then some wipes take them off your roster unless you get the LTI right?

    • @DigThat32
      @DigThat32  6 місяців тому

      Salute!
      They usually make the new ships purchasable in-game 3-6 months after release. LTI doesn't affect anything right now, but when the game goes live it just means you won't have to pay insurance premiums in the game to replace the LTI ships you purchased with cash.

    I have both and honestly i think I’ll use the Perseus 9/10 times. Easier to crew, still large damage output and I don’t really see there being many Polaris’s ina space battle. We may have 1 each side in huge org battles but it’ll be pretty limited I think.

    Great take. Polaris was always my end-game ship. But the Perseus will replace my Redeemer at some point. It is not only one of the best designs of the game, but it is also the most practical for smaller groups of players. Why give your friend a size 5 turret when you can give them a size 7?

    I agree with your video 100% though one thing to mention is that this is rsi and look what happened with the merchantman. Double the size and loaded with more guns. The fact that the price of the Perseus is incredibly close to Polaris and merchantman. I have a feeling they might be reevaluating the size and what is included with the Perseus.

    Polaris is just if you want to blow up a big ship..... other than that it has no other use.... you need plenty of crew which you should be always in a group. I think loner players, or each player should only have one big ship... because they are difficult to manage for now.... unless NPC will be available to hire in future yes. For now Medium ships is good enough... just put one large ship in your collection just in case your group wanted to group up.

    Is player game-side ship rental going to be a thing? If so, I missed it. If not, I think CIG should consider it. Then all the peeps like me who bought ships they may or may not be able to crew (because times changed), they have a way to justify their purchase, and maybe make some fake money back.
    Also, this would help facilitate the whale rationalization for the immediate future to buy more big ships.
    I'm not gonna buy. But I bet many only need that bit to push them on tilt.

    NPCs are going to be a resource that you can hire. You will have to pay for them but if you can afford to hire 2 or 3 NPCs then have the rest of the crew made up of your friends that will go a long way to making some of these larger ships viable options for smaller groups.
