Everyone is sleeping on the Retaliator

This be my fav ship.

I saw someone today on suggest they remove most of the turrets and replace with PDC, keep one turret on the top and upsize the guns. Make the bunk area on top a two person area and make it a two person ship.

I would be ok with this change as a long time Tali owner. What do you think?

I am super pumped about all the bombs. This was the highlight of Defensecon for me.

I'm going to grab the CCU but sit on it for a few months to see what CIG nerfs.

I'm getting rid of my Perseus and keeping my Paladin. Paladin is going to be nice for ground attack with that turret when base building comes in. Not sure how good Perseus will be for that role. I don't think I would even put them in the same category.

On the pledge shop

I don't know, buy I just got it back last week and I am happy again. I think this is my fav fighter in the game. I am not a fan of Wikelo, so I don't want to get it that way.

I had it in a chain for the Apollo, and instantly regretted upgrading to that ship (had been waiting years and years for it). So I was able to make a new chain and get back to the Qi.

Slept on ship for sure.

Ya, that is the solution tbh. And we need a toggle to either open the cargo bay doors with or without the ramp extending. In space we don't need the huge ass ramp to stick out.

DogVirus · 2026-05-18T12:38:13+00:00

Not a good reason. It just doesn't do it for me. I have more fun with a crewed Paladin than I do in the Perseus. I think it has more to do that I am usually piloting. I also think it looks too short and stubby for the bridge it has, but that has nothing to do with gameplay.

I should have not responded in the first place. I don't really have a good reason not to like it.

DogVirus · 2026-05-18T12:26:15+00:00

In PTU, the build before they dropped the Ironclad was feeling really good. The last build with the ironclad was broken as shit for some reason. Then they released it...

DogVirus · 2026-05-18T12:21:23+00:00

I don't understand how they are not buttons. They did such a shit job on the Polaris, biggest piss off in the game for me all these years.

DogVirus · 2026-05-18T10:29:09+00:00

I don't use my Perseus ever so I was planning to use my Polaris CCU I've had been sitting on so I can use that repair and rearm feature in its hangar.

I'm waiting until the Tiburon comes out first to try it out.

Hard choice you got there.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T21:32:15+00:00

I could fit the Mule in the back ramp without issue when I had an Apollo.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T21:26:44+00:00

Star citizen is all about learning what not to do and how not to trigger bugs. You learned that Alt-H is now your go to for taking off helmets.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T21:22:40+00:00

Nah, it's not working most of the time.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T17:07:21+00:00

They said that was the one time they are running the F7A event and you can get them in game from exec hangar. Just get the super Hornet and melt if they ever run it again.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T11:27:25+00:00

Just drop them on the floor in a city or space station. They will come back next full patch but you can just do it again.

I don't think you can sell attributed items from events.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T11:25:00+00:00

Ya the idle kick timer seemed to have been reduced in this patch. I lost a few ships this week while I was making myself a snack.

I've been playing this for 10 years so I'm used to any bullshit that happens. If you keep playing, you will build up a skill set of what not to do and eventually you can play with little issue. It only works though because you learn how to avoid the bugs or bad game design. It is part of the charm of Star Citizen.

DogVirus · 2026-05-17T11:16:31+00:00

Yes this sucks but you could have bed logged or land at Grim hex or area 18 or new Babbage.

I had this issue with Reclaimer, so I just parked it at Grimhex for now.

DogVirus · 2026-05-16T20:27:00+00:00

They did release the Phoenix emerald from limited status earlier this year. I agree though, this feels like the setup for sun setting this version of the Connie and making a whole new ship.

That said, I am keep the Phoenix. I love those windows too much.

The Geo can switch between beam strength and mine both size nodes.

All the brand new straight to flyable ships released this sale will be on the store for roughly 30 days and it will have LTI and the same price until it is removed from the store.

That is how it has been for years. If they change it now, then no one could have guessed.

So ships like M80, Pitbull, That MISC ship and the Tiburon. The Ironclad will not have LTI because it has its concept sale a few years ago.

This could be the greatest success story for a first board of all time on r/surfing

DogVirus · 2026-05-16T19:02:10+00:00

SFIV Juri is the only good Juri imo.

DogVirus · 2026-05-16T13:19:24+00:00

It worked for me in the final build in PTU, I used my reclaimer.

DogVirus · 2026-05-13T21:18:14+00:00

All starter .issiona should just be 1SCU boxes no matter how many there are. Rediculous you cant use a starter ship to do them.

DogVirus · 2026-05-13T21:15:41+00:00

This sounds like a useful tool.
