[@cyanetica4802]

Cool that you dived into it even more now!

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Indeed, down the rabbit hole we go

[@SharpEdgeSoda]

You'd think the Ballista would be the dedicated "Ground Vehicle Radar" platform. SAM's are great but only when you can detect air craft long before they detect you.

[@j.d.4697]

It's very incomplete still.

[@thedoctrinetv]

Thank you so much for the shout out! I look forward to your next video!

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Much appreciated and thank you again for the great info.

[@SymaunB]

Great video! As a new citizen It's nice to get a quality video on some of the more technical game mechanics. Thank you.

[@IIITangentIII]

Love your videos man. Quickly becoming one of my favorite creators!

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Thank you!

amazing video once again! please keep at it sir!

OMG ive been searching the far reaches of the internet for somebody to tell me where I can find that option setting (Emissions HUD display valute) MASSIVE MASSIVE thx Fox

[@Reds_Resort]

This was awesome dude thankyou. Very detailed. o7

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Glad it helped!

[@outlawjaw1639]

I'm surprised that the Terrapin doesn't have a size 2 radar

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

Coolers and power plants have an EM decay rate stat, which affects how quickly your EM goes down to the passive base value. Technically other components also have an EM decay rate stat, but they've all be equalised for balance currently. The reason for it being above base is because energy is being expended by something - eg weapons (especially energy), shields refilling, quantum spooling/spooled, thrusters being used. You can lower this base value by switching off components (shields are a big one).

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Thank you so much for this info, I already schedule to make a video for testing just those component's decay rate, and thanks for letting me know it is just the cooler and powerplant that have the EM decay.

[@StormEagle5]

@@cpt_foxyloxy No problem. As I understand it, even with the best coolers and power plants the advantage in em decay rate doesn't amount to much, but every little helps. Coolers are otherwise irrelevant except for weight (I think lighter components boost flight performance marginally), and powerplants so long as they are sufficient to power everything at once including energy weapons (and weight).

[@steve-w1w9s]

I love the idea that the missiles you choose will depend on where the target is. If you are going to a hot moon maybe best use EM or CS to avoid any interference from the planet for example. Also, choosing CS for large ships and firing from above or below for the highest chance to lock on properly. This could make bounty hunting a much more intellectual process than just skill based. Very interesting!

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Exactly! Great points

[@Iamawsomeazing]

As soon as they announced the Firebird I started bugging my contacts at CIG. It made no sense for the medium missile boat to carry half the missiles the small missile boat carries. I'm so glad they listened to everyone's input so quickly. But I'm still really surprised about the Tali getting all size 3 weapons- that's been my one gripe about the ship for over half a decade, that it needed size 3s instead of size 2s. I'm not much of a missile guy but I love to see so much work being put into our missile boats and torp platforms. It'll be cool to see how they balance missiles+torps

[@Renkalost]

I wonder what this means for the Terrapin. Is it just going to get a "different/extra" radar for it's role?

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

I think so, it is not fully functional yet, probably the center radar will be a different radar when it is "fixed"

[@theblacksben]

Helpful vid, Based on your radar descriptions it appears the ability to detect mineable rocks has nothing to do with the size of radar. Surprised prospector or vulture are not in the Tier 2 list, but also glad the cutter is lol Are there different components for mineral detection.. would like to see CIG flesh out the sensors as components like the others. By manufacturers and features.

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Not very certain about detecting minable, but will be interesting to test that out

[@judomaine]

Love your videos great stuff

[@jerlarco2330]

Very interesting (as always), but now i ask myself whats change in the calcul when a ship have multiple radar (like the 890j) ?

[@Olakeen]

Nothing change. 1 seat = 1 radar. Radars are not cumulative.

[@Biggerfoot]

They always drop stealth ships with suppressed radar blimp and then months later when they drop the next stealth ship they nerf the old stealth ships back to the normal values it’s happened with every single stealth ship they don’t care about the ships as long as they sell

[@chevy7912]

Curious did you have stealth turned on I might have missed you turning it on but good video man

[@Tony186x]

Love the vid, so good. But whats the deal with the 40% radar reduction thing for firebird? Does it mean 40% on the base detection range?

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

If you have reduction, then the emission values on your HUD is already calculated, and currently we have these ships that have stealth reduction 40%: Eclipse, Razor EX, Saber, Raven, Firebird, Prowler, Mustang Delta

[@alexpetrov8871]

​@@cpt_foxyloxy Also we have Aurora LN which currently stealthier than any of above ships without having any reduction ))) Perfect choice for beginners to do stealth style MRTs ) PS Not Prowler - Talon

[@metasheep]

The Zeus ES is currently listed with a S3 radar. I wonder if it will keep it if it releases with 4.0 and what its capabilities will be.

[@stevenhannweg1644]

Meanwhile: We wait that aquila and tracker hornet has a functioning radar dome...

[@spcrowe]

Nice

[@dammed5]

Hey, I thought the Hornet Tracker and the Anvil Terrapin both had Size-2 Radars similar to the Cutter Scout. Is that simply an omission ?

[@redslate]

Is S2 the largest radar currently? Thought the Polaris had one of _the_ _best_ radars in-game (Capital Class). Trying to wrap my mind around it being the same tier as the Hurricane/Vanguard...

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

For the polaris it is according to the current patch and it is not in our hands yet, so it might change when it actually comes out, we don't have S3 radar currently in game yet, it might also change later.

[@tl2402]

You forgot to add that stealth ships also have stealth armor that reduces the signatures (without showing it) for 20-40% depending on the ship. Or is that on the 2nd stealth video?

[@tl2402]

Someone replied (and deleted it) saying that there's no special armor, but there is. All the ships that are classifiec as "stealth" have armor that reduces their signatures by 20%. Sabre Firebird was buffed to 40%. These things are already in the game, but don't show up in the signature numbers.

[@TANIL-X]

@@tl2402 Do signatures are emission values ?

[@0xc1d34]

Hornet tracker??? Should.be bigger than any other right?

[@DentzSetzer]

Can you get really close (under 1.5km) of those bunker turrets without being detected by using stealthier ships or reducing power?

[@dericclark6553]

Does having multiple radars change anything or is it redundancy if one goes down?

[@TANIL-X]

can we say bigger ships may see better than smaller ? (radar sizes)

[@chrism4390]

Is it possible to see enemy ship’s emission values?

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

The Hornet Tracker never gets used, but doesnt it have a S2 Radar as well?

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Not yet at least

[@rakaydosdraj8405]

@@cpt_foxyloxy I hope the Hornet Tracker Mk 2 uses the Superhornet chassis, with survey/squadron command tools.

[@Brightside187]

How did you get the red paint for your firebird?

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

It was from the saber's paints that was selling at Lunar new year time

[@EpicJones1]

Is stealth bombing practical in 3.23? ERT targets seem to shoot down size 9 torps. Maybe those ones are read by the ai differently?

[@LouSaydus]

It would be nice if you had tested anything. Particularly the supress ir function and the stealth mode for power to see if they actually do anything. Nobody has seemingly tested any mechanics since like 3.15 and just repeating publicly available info without any tests doesnt actually add anything of value.

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

Don't worry, this video is only for the Radar, there will be more stealth testing coming regarding as many aspect as possible, including the suppress IR you mentioned. I only want to focus on one major topic for one video.

[@michelvandeweetering4450]

Were you at Pickers Fields yesterday trying to hide from my Raven then 3 reds turned up 1 was a cutty blue they were players and decided to attack me but i was to fast and maneuverable for them do not know what happened to the firebird.😂

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

nice!

[@liveunfurled2497]

Why do you run with no shield generator?

[@kevjames7624]

Does the cross section signature also depend on the distance?

[@cpt_foxyloxy]

No, it only depends on the angle when you face the target ship, CS is mainly determined by the physical size of the ship itself, but affected by the angle of facing the target ship.

[@kevjames7624]

Thank you. I’ve enjoyed your work.

[@sanbon909]

What does having more than one radar do?

[@shumuss]

It would be nice if the eclipse had a size two radar

[@j.d.4697]

Good phoenix reference, but you got things wrong once again. 1) Which viewing angle has which cross section signature value is different for every ship. 2) Going by sig info on the HUD, the background emissions are not in the game yet, or at least not complete.

Sadly, they have not un-nerfed the Ghost. -13% stealth, with fewer HP than a normal Hornet. Something tells me there was a systemic change, and Ghost II will be the fix.

[@BigJohnno66]

So how did you get the Firebird to have holes in the wings like a Raven. Or is that the Raven with a while paint? Hang on, it's an Eclipse, and one with the super rare 2950 BIS white paint. As Borat would say "very nice!"

[@SpaceDad42]

Cross section should not be a passive value. It should be detected by pings only. Once again, CIG devs are without hope or knowledge.
