Do you already own, or plan on owning a Polaris? I'm always around to chat on my Discord if you want! discord.gg/g6D2NsjZx2

[@Max_Flashheart]

Star Jump Fleet Viewer has the updated Polaris model from the PTU just added. it shows the dual hangar doors for cargo and the hidden turrets etc FYI the model is only showing size 9 Torpedoes since the weapons team haven't finished the Size 10s

[@jeoffelectron2537]

yeah i doo got one, the 600i demonstrates integration of cockpit and hull really well.

[@alexandravixen504]

got myself one 3 years ago roughly. got it for the org and or friends to derp around in. cant wait to see it in my hanger and be able to walk around inside her.

[@Funiculus]

I got myself one, then did a CCU chain to get one way less than MSRP with LTI like I should have done the first time; but you live you learn. Our org plans to operate the Polaris alongside ships like the Hammerhead to allow their relative strengths to help each other.

[@Chronoclysm17]

I plan on finishing my CCU chain during invictus. Cant wait for the Polaris. My ultimate ship.

[@delc82]

Aside from the costs, CIG also said that they are also aware that SC is a game and that they want players to be able to enjoy their ships. So there will always be a balance. I have a Polaris. Looking forward to its release.

[@Space-Tech]

Yeah I think once the game is closer to release they can focus more on making sure every ship is closer balanced :)

You must be looking pretty far ahead being that this wont be released as a flyable ship ever.

[@vikingsdawn1301]

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. )

[@Funiculus]

Excellent video and break down! Earned my subscription. I was watching Stardock's live stream going over the design and they did say they believed a Legionnaire would just fit on the hangar. One detail that came out was that they said the Polaris, when it comes in, will be the first ship with a hangar that can re-arm, refuel, and repair ships.

[@Space-Tech]

Thank you very much for your kind words! Legionnaire seems likely to me as well. Having repair on board is going to be a game changer

Great video! I just picked one CCU from my Perseus and we'll see how both ships turns out. I admit the crew size issue is a bit concerning but what the Polaris offers for "just" 75 dollars more is crazy compared to the Perseus.

[@HitmannDDD]

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.

[@Space-Tech]

Agreed, torpedoes are balanced on a knifes edge usually

[@amigo3284]

Also the Polaris has 20% signature reduction on IR EM and Cross-section, making it a bit more suitable for stealth operations. I got mine for $420, and am already creating documents for it, like a crew roster. 14 crew is a lot of seats, but just think of the fun times!

[@Space-Tech]

Interesting, is there mention of this in its marketing or is the xml the first we're seeing of this?

[@davewills6121]

Such exciting times for Star Citizen and us backers, can only imagine the buzz Chris Roberts gets knowing his vision is coming to fruition. I got mine with a saving of about $520ish, which im happy about. 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. Like your approach to forward planning. Kudos

[@ShadowGirl-]

@@Space-Tech its in the XML, but I feel like this does kinda go with the whole idea of the ship, being well prepared for launching ground strike missions without drawing too much attention. Its like the largest ship you'd use for an elite strike team.

[@gutsbobbles7973]

@@ShadowGirl- Those are placeholder stats from 890j. 900 nav speed will stay, scm will be no higher than 100 m/s. Signature will be the same as the idris, since RSI does not make stealth shielding.

[@MarcWeavers]

fate of bedlogging was addressed in SCL a week or 2 before 3.23 went live. they want to keep it, make it better, and give some sort of "good night's sleep" buff, as well as have you be able to log out anywhere and log back in where you were.

[@Tacticalpanda757]

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

[@Space-Tech]

It should be able to use torps against ground targets with signatures I'd imagine

[@sosigakaweinerman869]

I recently upgraded my Carrack to the Polaris, currently gathering a crew for the ultimate multi-crew experience!

[@creatorstormer7273]

Very nice video, got my Polaris for $280.

[@Space-Tech]

That's a sweet price, thanks for the support!

[@Sanjarih]

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

I hope they get to talk more about it during tomorrow’s live stream, we haven’t mentioned about it for a while now

[@MrNzzze]

According to Erkul the Polaris has 432 SCU of cargo now.

[@Space-Tech]

I'd be cautious about using erkul for hard numbers right now since the interior isn't done yet 😅 432 would be awesome though

[@Chronoclysm17]

I think Grim from StarJump confirmed the increase of cargo with the increase of the size of the ship. Since he directly has information from CIG because of the fleetviewer.

[@Space-Tech]

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

[@Chronoclysm17]

@Space-Tech yeah he definitely did warn against the XML data. I guess I am inclined to believe the cargo bay has increased in size because CIG did say the Polaris is larger now, and the XML file shows basically double the original cargo capacity. I also want to believe it for selfish reasons 😄

[@DismayingHades6]

[@BigSneed404]

Honestly, it comes down to how many friends you have. The Perseus may not have the features of the Polaris, but you also don't need a small army to get the most out of it either. What's the point of owning a ship if you don't have enough people around to actually get the most out of it?

[@amd1031]

[@RivalHelicopter]

i picked up a polaris for my small org. We will be treating is more as a small base, using it to unload cargo from salvage and other runs, even though a Hercules, Hull series or even the caterpillar would be better.... and cheaper.

[@Space-Tech]

The heart wants what the heart wants!

[@JohnSrptn117]

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.

[@TheRealHIPER]

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

[@JohnSrptn117]

@@TheRealHIPER You know, I took the destroyer aproach post-WW2 (You know, big ships, with lots of anti-ship missiles) for the Javelin wich, yeah you would be totally right. I do not see the Polar as a WW2 destroyer, primary due to the type of aproach, but you wouln't be on the wrong here either.

[@TheRealHIPER]

@@JohnSrptn117 they have plans to upgun the polaris so that it can hold its own against other capital ships without having to rely on its torpedos, I think by that point it's qualified to be considered a destroyer in both ww2 standards and modern standards (looking at all the missiles and torpedos it has). 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

[@JohnSrptn117]

​@@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. So polaris would be a mix between a sub and a Destroyer o.o? And the Javelin would be a Cruiser/Modern Destroyer I gues?

[@TheRealHIPER]

@@JohnSrptn117 yeah that all sounds about right but don't forget the distinction between a CL and a CA. Also does the polaris even have any stealth capabilities?

[@TairnKA]

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)? Hm, maybe swap out the 32 size three missiles with (qty ?) size two "Rattler" (7 micro-missiles each) missiles?

[@SacredTide]

Can a port space station be built for home base or income commerce?

[@Xeonzs]

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.

[@jeoffelectron2537]

noice but cockpit shape doesn't complement body's shape,

[@Space-Tech]

I hear ya, I would have loved to have a bridge like the Perseus or Idris on this!

[@mortalkombatfight-clubsofi9637]

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.

[@SacredTide]

Will there be AI crew option in the near future to hire and operate with to run full?

[@Space-Tech]

Near future? No. Eventually? It's possible but don't count on it to be able to do all roles

[@goldfishmentality]

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?

[@Admiral_Grufus]

Percy is meant for HH sized ships, Polaris is for capitals. A HH would be able to shoot down a size 10 torp easily (if CIG doesn't fuck up balancing). Percy will still have it's place

[@goldfishmentality]

@Admiral_Grufus good point. I hope the torps are also expensive enough that it wouldn't be cost effective to obliterate smaller ships with them

[@Space-Tech]

It'll also be a lot harder to land a size 10 torp on smaller ships! Remember these things aren't nimble! Regardless you're right these should be stupid expensive imo

[@vonklinkenhoffn1]

I didn't realise I wanted this ship until after Invictus Fleet Week was over. Dang! I actually have a Carrack w/C8X LTI pack, I wonder if I should upgrade it... My only concern is that next time the Polaris will be on sale, the price will be so jacked up that I just cant justify spending what CIG will be asking for it.

[@vonklinkenhoffn1]

@@Space-Tech I've actually never heard of CCU chaining. I've melted ships before, but then I've bought other ships again. I'm not familiar with the term CCU chaining though.

[@Noskavian]

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]

If it wasn't for the absolutely insane amount of crew needed for this I think we'd see this trio a good bit

[@Noskavian]

@@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.

[@Space-Tech]

I'm thinking ships like the HH, and Polaris will need a few Engineers at least, but as you mention for org events it would be so cool as a 3v3

[@Space-Tech]

I've heard it go both ways, that the Javelin will and won't have to be completely outfitted once we're in game. I'd cautiously say it's likely we'll have to purchase it's weapons. As for the the liberator, it can't come fast enough! Going to open up a lot of gameplay in larger systems :)

[@budthecyborg4575]

The Polaris is going to make one heck of an escort ship. As long as you have a competent crew it won't take long before economic orgs start putting up security fees to easily cover operation costs. 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. It's going to be hilarious watching all the under-manned capitol ships getting hijacked by pirates.

[@Space-Tech]

Oh yeah, I think solo Polaris owners are going to have a rough go of it for sure 😅

[@Subtleknife12367]

I'm not sure it will be a good escort ship. It has very little in the way of guns. With how poor the gun set up if the target isn't a cap ship then the polaris is going to struggle. It isn't going to be good for escorting much with its current load out.

[@budthecyborg4575]

@@Subtleknife12367 I guess it could be said that a bomber wing is much more efficient, but the Polaris is basically the direct counter to an Idris, and I do expect to see a lot of pirate Idris in the PU (since 90% of Idris owners will have their ship stolen from them on the first week of use... Actually I pretty much expect every Pirate org to have a fleet of Idrises).

[@davewills148]

Its still hard to take on board the lunacy of some backers, they live under the veil that it'll be possible to operate this 14 crew Corvette SOLO. Master modes/Engineering/Fire management and support and running costs, let alone organizing tactical play sessions. Secondly going out undermanned you're waving a red flag of war, there will be no running off to SPECTRUM complaining of griefing, its the nature of warfare. There are many who have ships such as the BMM/Perseus/Orion/Kraken/Idris, that suffer this mental block, there will not be any AI Blades/NPC Crew coming to the rescue, and god forbid you venture into Pyro. The stark realism will soon be hammered home, and the: ''i can wait to get my BMM and live in the verse'' will fall on deaf ears. You don't need to look far on spectrum to find these tools.

those missiles only go 250 I hope CIG is going to change this. You could only hope to hit someone who is not moving, to be a spear it has to move fast enough, and this is not making since. They also show to be size 9 so idk if that is a mistake they have to fix or they went back on their size design. Anyways for the price of this if there is a large enough cry, they will offset a lot of the cost or scale back some of the burden, they have shown a shift when there is a large enough group not liking the huge overall exhaustive measures just to play the game.

[@Space-Tech]

The current missiles are definitely a placeholder! We know that it should have size 10s so those are probably still in development. Overall it'll be interesting to see the impact of MM on missiles, if imagine hitting someone who's already I combat will get a lot easier

SpaceTech is right, Grim from Starjump compared the torpedo size to the torpedo tube. it looks like the size 10 torpedos that are coming will be 44% larger then the size 9.... thats a LOT of power.

[@Space-Tech]

Hey ShadowGirl! Glad to hear it :)

[@KapitanObvious]

x28 S10 torps reamer with ease... :D camikadze and Polaris with LTI get back with all torps back. We all know that that will be a gameplay. And that why I almost sure somehow its will be nerfed.

[@metakillz3532]

i find it kinda weird for them to put it on the floor and make it the main focus of the trailers to not release it and just sell it, im assuming its not actually finished which i understand but i feel like i got hyped they were gonna be adding it when in reality it was just a ship sale ;-;

[@Space-Tech]

Yeah I figured it wasn't done when we got no shots of the inside during any of the trailers, IAE though!

[@Gametester]

in 3.23.1 polaris has only S9 Torpedos... hope S10 will come soon ;)

[@Space-Tech]

Yeah the size 9 is a placeholder, don't worry :D

[@Verinia]

I'm very interested to see how they balance these torpedos. I maintain that taking out an Idris from 40 kilometers away is not balanced. I hope they are VERY expensive, as well as vulnerable to automatic defense turrets.

[@Space-Tech]

I think they will actually be weaker than shown in that vid for sure, felt like no one was shooting it!

[@gutsbobbles7973]

Max lockon range is 30 000 meters, even for S12

[@haroldjorge7856]

I need to make a mini org just for this ship lol

[@Space-Tech]

Too real :')

[@honordevs]

Wait, so the Polaris has regeneration capability? I didn't think it did.

[@Space-Tech]

Not until the recent changes to respawn, my last video before this one covers it :)

[@honordevs]

@@Space-Tech Thanks for the reply, I'll check it out!

[@KapitanObvious]

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.

[@GreatWolfBalistic]

How much did you save from CCU

[@Space-Tech]

My Polaris costs about $230 :)

[@GreatWolfBalistic]

@@Space-Tech How?????

[@mateoemanuel3517]

the 890 will take 1 torp cause they go through shields and because the 890 has 200 k hp i think sooo yea

[@Space-Tech]

Damage shield bleed is interesting, it seems to have been reduced in the most recent patch, so I kinda mention worst case :)

[@mateoemanuel3517]

@@Space-Tech what do u think about the damage of the size 12 torps on the javelin? do u suspect a number ?:)))

[@Tyrannus_Gaming]

If the Polaris is hilariously expensive to operate, CIG is going to find that all its users will be turning to Piracy; even has enough room for a Cutlass, I think.

[@Cmdr_V]

I plan to use it for pve piracy lol

[@Tyrannus_Gaming]

@@Cmdr_V True, and I may too. :3

[@Fky12345]

Nice review. But not for solo players and I do not like gameplay I am constantly forced to teamplay. So this is off the shopping list no matter the looks. It is of no use for us and just a p2w aspect.

[@Space-Tech]

Thank you! You're 100% right that it's not going to be a good time for solo players

[@schlagzahne6741]

I probably wouldnt base much of any of this off of erkuls draw from the game files. This all feels VERY placeholder

[@Space-Tech]

Yup, didn't pull anything from erkul other than the current shield health but I mention that it's the relative strength that's valuable right now :)

[@SkyViewAerialTech]

"rearming this ship will be expensive" me - *holds backspace*

[@Space-Tech]

Hahaha watch them charge you for torps even with LTI

[@jaymayhem8346]

Mine will not collect dust but it will collect bodies.

[@Space-Tech]

Hell yeah

[@NoTalker_]

So this ship isn't for someone with no friends?

[@Uberzit]

It was my understanding that the hangar walls sloped inward or at least that’s what the STARJUMP guy said when they were modeling it for the StarHangar off the holo model. They also said that is why the hangar floor extracts to roof surface level, so that if whatever fits while the floor is raised, it’s sure to fight when retracting back down

[@vamperic]

I really hope they don't allow pilot to use the torps

[@DomBogey94]

I disagree, if you bought the ship then you should have every luxury to unload hell on anyone.

[@vamperic]

@@DomBogey94 Yeah no, it's a cap ship for multicrew gameplay the pilot should not get that power If you want that go buy a retaliator or eclipse not a capital ship

Nah! im returning this ship, it really has nothing I need at this time

[@Space-Tech]

Honestly, props for realizing!

[@reecechapman-spencer7309]

So it is going to be completely useless in-game in practice then.

[@korellian]

750k damage from a torp!? Have you actually tried hitting a multicrew ship with a torp in 3.23x? Ai gunners actively shoot down torps.. more like 750k credits before you realise they are worthless.

[@magnumx70]

yes yes everybody now want to buy it and then they gonna nerf it as always

[@georgemoonman2830]

its already flying around in the game - erkul has the stats, the size 10 torps are 395k, not 750

[@Space-Tech]

Nope. Erkul doesn't have info for size 10s, and the 12s are obviously placeholder since they aren't used

[@supersasquatch]

Can't fit a mole in there

[@Space-Tech]

I don't know if the Mole can fit in anything smaller than a Bengal tbh haha
