If you wanna go full on stealth you have to remove the guns and shields (witch both you dont need and use anyways) what it does is reduces your detection rate drasticly. My friend couldnt see my eclipse until i was 3km away from him. Npcs cant too you can fly close to around 8km let them conpletly spawn until they are red. Then you literally just snipe them and they cant react to it bcus they cant see you. Only downside is that the torp sometimes miss if you aim poorly and the server lags.

[@TheHavocide]

Great advice. Thanks!

[@biotechisgodzilla]

but why not just turning them off? Is removal really nessesary?

[@eziiii3536]

@@biotechisgodzilla turning them off will reduce the detection rate by a big amount but removing the guns and shields completly reduces the amount even more.

[@TheHavocide]

Yup. This Wiki has a bit more information on IR/EM and Cross Section and how it impacts Steath. starcitizen.tools/Ship_emissions

[@shawnc5188]

Removing guns does reduce EM and IR, but the highest value on an Eclipse is still CS, something like 9000, and does not change. This is why the Eclipse is usually picked up by NPCs at around 5-6km. I’ve tried turning off shields and slowly coming in - not effect on detection.

[@darthmocap]

That first landing. 👌

[@1337Atreyu]

The ship landing got a chuckle out of me. Judging depth on those vertical landings can suck 🙂

[@mikegilkey]

Great video and info about on buying a ship in game. It pays for itself in about 6 hours if play. Nice

[@TheHavocide]

Thanks for your kind words! Enjoy the ship and have fun!

[@RavagedSociety]

Excellent video on the Eclipse. Another bit of advice, especially for those working up to the ERTs, is to simply claim your ship via the ASOP rather than rearming. Provided of course you don't mind a short wait, it's a fair bit cheaper to expedite the ship claim than to rearm the 3 torps.

[@TheHavocide]

Very good suggestion! Thanks for watching.

[@Voss44]

Sorry new. If you claim the ship it comes back armed? So you just self destruct after the bounties are completed?

[@TheHavocide]

@@Voss44 yup lots of people do this as it’s cheaper than rearming torpedos.

[@Voss44]

@@TheHavocide Awesome ty!

[@TheHavocide]

Your very welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

[@itsbadrabbit716]

This is the first video I've seen recommend buying the ship in game, including price and where to buy. Instead of the pledge store, that's incredible. 👍 The shots are gorgeous, your voiceover's clear, but I was totally thrown off by the very loud and weird 80s porn music during transitions (at 1:32 and 3:19). - Could just do a straight cut to the next section, since you have everything beautifully timestampted as well. Thanks for the video, I'll be getting one of these. :)

[@TheHavocide]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I will take that feedback on board for the next videos! It’s all a learning curve!

[@drakedge2000]

The Eclipse was my 2nd Purchase in the game. I love myself a good stealth bomber and this lil bad boy does it in spades now that stealth is working. I do though miss the old (admittedly way OP) days of the size nine torps having the maneuverability of the size 1 missiles. I have though become more of an industry player over the years. With the MOLE being my main money maker, and eventually the Orion should it ever come to fruition as well as the Pioneer... imaginary ships for now, but I hope to play with them one day lol.

[@TheHavocide]

Ah a man of my own heart. A good bit of Mole mining does wonders! I can’t wait for the Orion to! Perhaps once they release we can group up! Have fun for now!

[@drakedge2000]

@@TheHavocide That would be fun for sure! Certainly gonna need a crew for that monster.

[@Damaged7]

The wings are supposed to tuck into each other and change depending on atmosphere or not, that doesn't work, just like 95% of all advertised features for ships or the game itself. I really wanted to love this game but everyone was right. They aren't selling a game, they are selling ideas that will most likely never see the light of day. Thats why people are waiting for ships they paid for 10 years ago. Would be really cool to fly a stealth ship in a game that had actual stealth mechanics.

[@le0castle]

Good video man! I was thinking on getting an eclipse for erts but I guess I'll just stick to my Connie as the rearming fee doesn't seem worth it for me because I can already do Erts on the Connie in 13 to 15 mins.

[@TheHavocide]

Thanks for watching! It’s a great ship. I’ve only flown the Connie as transport once during free fly. :) prefer agile ships. Whichever works best for you though is most important as you gotta have fun!

[@BCKator]

Thanks for the video. I recently bought an Eclipse and successfully completed 6 ERT missions w/ one-shot kills and quickly realized that it's actually more boring than Quant mining in my Mole. I'm not sure that I'll be buying one again once I have enough to do so. Can't you just rearm at the nearest mining station? They're often closer.

[@TheHavocide]

You are welcome. You can rearm where ever you prefer. :) I do enjoy a good bit of quant mining over ERTs! It’s all good fun regardless.

[@Blue-Mystic]

the problem with the Bounty hunting missions is that most of them are NOT in space, but at a glitched cave somewhere or a crashed ship... anything but in space, therefore...

[@scottboyer8450]

I was very tempted to upgrade my Sentinel to this ship during the IAE event, but after my experience with the Ares Ion, I felt sure the Eclipse was going to get nerfed.

[@TheHavocide]

Always a risk of nerf but thankfully you can grab it in game to avoid that risk. :)

[@bolm4362]

I don't think it's going to be nerfed as it is doing what it is designed to do, which is being a stealth bomber with big torpedoes. The problem isn't the ship but rather the lack of countermeasures in the game right now, such as ship abilities that can detect the bomber before it comes to close (Terrapin for example)

[@TheHavocide]

Let’s hope so. Your completely correct. :)

[@8c8BrotMargemSul8c8]

I don't know if he will be nerfed, since if he is nerfed he becomes useless, he is very fragile for a direct combat, and the damage of his guns does not compensate for his fragility!

[@8c8BrotMargemSul8c8]

it was a ship made to fire and go

[@biggles8500]

Nice!

Informative o7

[@ictr3ma255]

how did you rank up crusader bounty target reputation on eclipse, if VL targets fly small ships which IX torpedoes cant lock on to?

[@TheHavocide]

I ranked up fully using the eclipse, eclipse has guns but you can use whatever you prefer. I had no issues locking them when I last used it but it’s been a while.

[@biotechisgodzilla]

The eclipse looks realy nice.

[@TheHavocide]

It is a very beautiful ship. :) The entire game is fantastically detailed. Love it.

[@zeta4687]

that's a perfact landing man

[@TheHavocide]

Glad to hear!

[@MC-BigCara]

I only managed to buy one a few weeks ago and now have qualified for erts. It’s an easy money maker as long as you don’t get within 5km, but feels a bit cheesy and too easy to make cash

[@TheHavocide]

Enjoy it while it lasts for as long as that will be! Thanks for watching!

[@cairnarunir]

My eclipse doesn't let me equip my Seeker IXs, any ideas why? In storage on the planet and have 3 S. IXs in local storage as well

[@TheHavocide]

Be certain to remove the default ones. The default ones need to be taken off first so you can place the Seekers. The UI can be a little funky with it.

[@SirMadsen]

Ngl, the landing made me giggle...

[@elliotwiart2225]

Im not being offered group warrant missions, or the mission to unlock group warrants, no mater the area, any fix to this, very annoying?

[@TheHavocide]

Once your at MRT Go to Crusader, take the Pro Tem group bounty contract if it spawns. If your reputation/bounty rank is high enough. I might look into a rep guide video to aid this.

[@histella3824]

Ty for ur tips but I was told I should fire at 1500m and they always hit. Now I wanted to ask if I was pushing luck or was that a good strategy.

[@TheHavocide]

It sounds like your using the Argos S9 missiles, which has 1000m lock range. So releasing at 1500m is the same principle as releasing at 3-4k as shown in the video using Seeker IX. As long as it hits, that is the goal. Since I am using Seeker IX's they have a minimum lock range of 2600m I can not get any closer to the target to do that. :)

Is it necessary to keep the speed so low? Can you do this at a higher speed? Thanks for the video it was really helpful!

[@TheHavocide]

As long as your below 500m/s you should be fine. They travel at 500m/s so you don’t want to be equal it as you could hit yourself. So best to be slower so it fires and moves ahead of you.

[@jonipalosaari5443]

Can you do the same shenanigans with Retaliator?

[@TheHavocide]

The Retaliator Bomber, for sure I've done it before. Though its not really stealthy. Having 6 Torpedo's, instead of 3, can really speed up earnings. Or simply prevent the need to re-arm if you miss as you have extra.

[@jonipalosaari5443]

@@TheHavocide Does Stealth mechanics even work currently? In a couple patch the stealth components didn´t have a meaningfull impact to your detection range so im just wondering that do you need to launch the payload in a same range 3-4km as the Eclipse or do you need to drop em abit earlier like 5+km?

[@TheHavocide]

I always aim for 3.5 in between the 3-4km. It’s just my preference. The aim is to prevent them from having any time to respond but you can certainly find what works for you. As for stealth. If we’re getting as close as 3km without being shot at we must be doing something right. :D I am no expert though! Just love playing so test as you see fit with the fittings. It’s just what works for me :)
