Polaris. Not javelin.
He is apparently click baiting us.. 😒
He is known for his “click bait” 😂
Well it worked lol 😆
@@marshalllaw4u but he also called the polaris sub capital so there is a mix of wrong info lol
Fixed, the kind of mistake made a 3AM.
I think that cargo bay is to hold stuff the away craft in the hanger needed, like fuel, ammo, repair materials, etc. and other stuff the ship crew will need for daily operation.
Damn that Javelin....its downscaled to a Polaris class ship 😅
Fixed, LOL
@@RaysGuide I hope CR did not see it 🤣
@@RaysGuide it still says javelin in the description lol
I estimate that the turret guns are either size 6 or size 5, also the Polaris can be categorized as capital now with its size increase and components
Polaris isn't sub cap , it is a capital . the galaxy , perseus , and hammerhead are subcaps .
Webster would disagree with you "a warship of the first rank in size and armament : a major surface ship (as a battleship, cruiser, aircraft carrier)"
@@RaysGuideI enjoy your videos and find them well thought out and informative. However, "Capital Ship" like all terminology is relative to its application. In this instance, CIG has established in lore there own (loose) criteria for what a capital ship is and from the pledge store "The Polaris is a nimble corvette-class capital ship...". So, saying otherwise is confusing and contradictory to the game itself. I recommend that if you disagree with the metric you should make a statement like "CIG classifies the Polaris as a capital ship. however, to me this does not fit the classification so i will refer to it as a sub-capital ship." or something like that to prevent confusion. Keep up the great content and I look forward to your next!
Great ideas, especially on the emergency ladder to the escape pods. Im guessing 2xS5s on the turrets, although I cant say Im a fan of that. The big hitters on this ship are the torps, the turrets are for point defense, and the bigger the gun the harder itll be to hit dogfighters
Hey nice video, just two things though one it's about the Polaris and not Javelin lol and two the Polaris has been changed to a capital class ship since last year I believe
Ik he called it sub cap but its always been cap, since 2016. What you are referring to was the shield going from large to cap being mentioned last year but that wouldn’t change the classification.
@@Stafernisy It started as a subcap, check their Q&A, it's only when the Idriss was largely increased in size that they decided the Polaris would fill the gap.
@@mizardelwana You are confusing old old kickstarter stuff and lore, the polaris “was designed” as a replacement to the Idris that grew in scope mirroring a real life situation. It was as a way to justify the polaris in lore, but really its because of further developments in the project like the hornet getting bigger and because of that also the Idris, and it having to appear later in sq42 and kickstarter promotional material etc. The game has change ALOT since kickstarter things are done way differently now there is no need to justify a concept like a funding goal back then. Sorry if i’m wrong lol I but tend not to forget these things.
@@mizardelwana Umm..I checked the Q&A and it says capital in the first sentence..thats okay it has been 6 years xD
@@Stafernisy From the Wiki "During Bensday with Batgirl & Ben episode 45 (9 Mar 2016), Ben Lesnick commented that they were leaning towards a length of 100 to 120 meters. On October 12, 2016, the Polaris Q&A showed an increase of size to 155m. During a live steam Q&A on December 12, 2020, John Crewe stated that the ship had grown but remained in the 100s of meters range. (156-199m)."
The first size of 100 to 120 meters would have put it as being smaller than the Hammerhead (120m) and just over the 600i (91m). At that point it was just a corvette subcapital. I was wrong though when saying it was changed last year, it was pretty much changed the same year if was revealed
Very good design suggestions Ray. So far as the turrets I concur with others here that they will be either size 6 or 7. They are massive when you compare them to the COs quarters and the mess hall.
Bro, I usually scoff at people doing redesigns, but this was so damn fresh and spot on.
Based on the SCU boxes they look to be about 8.9 meters long, which I think makes them size 6 (possibly M8A). There aren't many (any?) flyable ships that use size 6s, so it'd be good to see them get more use.
that javelin looks quite nice lol
LOL, fixed.
Thanks for a detailed walkthrough of the Polaris redesign :)
Those "size 4" turrets DEFINITELY looks like they've been upgraded. My theorized estimate would be that they could be size 5 (or even size 6?) weapons/guns (maybe on a size 6 or 7 turret mount or even a bespoke mount for the ship?). This estimate/guess is based on the size of the turret compared to something like turrets on the Hercules, Carrack or Hammerhead, and also the size of the turrets themselves compared to the size of the escape pods. On other ship layouts size 4 turrets are not this big compared to something more static in size like escape pods.
My guess is size 6.
Awesome video and ship!
I'm thinking size 6 possibly 7. Great analysis and I like the ideas for the EVA room. I hope they stretch the ceiling a bit to allow military vehicles onboard.
everyone is so hyped about polaris work, now we need an update on the perseus
GREAT POINT MADE!! Love the logical reasoning too!
Nice walkthrough of the virtual ship, thanks. Those are some huge turrets they placed there - maybe size 6 or 7. They seem to be able to fit the CO's bed in them and launch a human torpedo.
Size 6 for sure.
Good video as always, keep it up!
Ray I get what you're saying but it's already being done so how it looks it how it will look.
Great work.
I reckon those "size 4" turret guns will end up being size 5 or 6. Especially compared to the CO's room.
The ramp was already in the original concept. It shows on the layout we had from the ship just as a label but still, a label which says ramp.
I’ve estimated that these large ships may be done, but holding them (three or more) until Pyro is released, since Stanton has tons of stop over locations, and can be traversed by any size ship (even with multiple pit stops)
I like your optimism!
That would be AMAZING, I'm just hoping we start to see a commitment to following big ships alllllllll the way down the pipeline until they are straight up flight ready
Needs more space for Merlin’s 😂 and those are definitely dual size 5 cannons. I can feel it in me bones!
Those guns look size 6/7. Very interesting. Compare the size of the turret to the size of the arrow, damn near the same size!
Ray - the only SC contributor I care for 👍😃
Its such a good redesign
dont forget the hangar got larger too... because the old concept just managed to fit a gladius, not a sabre... that hangar seriously opens up more options now.
True, plus it got conformance with CIG XS metrics
cool analysis, consistently love your work. i recon they are size 5 or 6 guns on those turrets because we saw it in an orthographic view in the same image as the sabre which i believe has size 4s
Dang. I wish CIG would see this and take your design suggestions into consideration. Sooo much better. Oh well, at least it's getting worked on Soon™.
Alright, about those turrets...
We can turn the measurements of the hangar given in the video (24x32x12) into centimeters (in this case the hangar stretches 11.5 cm from left to right), then we need to measure the size of one of the guns (i used one of the two front turrets for this) , which came out to be 3.8 cm. we then need to divide 3.8 by 11.5, now we have 0.3304347826 which we multiply by 32 and our final weapon size is around 10.6 meters (rounded up). Now i was struggling to find a weapon size comparison in meters on the internet, so I went ingame and checked out a size 6 gun in a weapon store, using my own character (1.83 m tall) as reference. After some really unnessecarily in depth guestimation a regular size 6 weapon seems to be about 7.71 meters in length on the small end, making the polaris with its 10.6 m turrets easily size 6.
On a less mathematic and more logical note since the galaxy, a sub capital explorer ship not focused on combat i getting size 5 turrets it wouldnt make sense for the polaris, a capital ship focused on combat to not have size 6 turrets.
So the room right before the bridge, the Muster Deck, is really a last line of defense against boarders, and is also an important place to discuss sensitive topics just off the bridge. Id like to see some kind of internal defenses.
Size 6's, homie. Great video, Danny.
Gotta be Size 6's.
As for the cargo hold; maybe in the distant future we're going to have something closer to a motorized pallet mover that's roughly within the same size as the PTV; and I can't wait to see an org stuff a ship full of those for fun.
Good point about the number f (and access to) the escape pods and I agree the current docking collar looks like an afterthought and would be better on the other side. The turrets are probably twin S5's - but hard to tell what the scale progression looks like but compared to the Sabre... and they'd need to traverse fast enough to hit fighters too.
I feel like the Polaris will end up being a monster of a ship.
Thanks for that, hopefully ship comes out with A.I blades 🙂
From the size of the room compared to the turret, I would say it is a size 7 turret capable of holding size 6 guns.
I think that cutout in the large purple room is the crane operator for the cargo bay. The Galaxy was shown to have one in the cargo module. Even the the raft has one, although at a much smaller station
If that is the crane operator, they have more room that the whole bridge for one workstation.
Also notice in the picture of the cargo bay is that both sides have hydrollic pistons for open and closing. Looks like a thru and thru cargo like the c2 but sideways. Also the bunk room shown and with the floor map would make 4x3 so 12 beds for crew plus 2 for co and xo. My guess is crew is 14 still close to before.
I think they will match Perseus size 7s. But may be size 6s as the turrets don't look as beefy.
Keep up the great work.
Based on the size of the cargo bay and the boxes in it, I’m guessing the turret guns are a size 6.
My money is on size 6 cannons. I wanted to say 7 but thats what the Perseus has as its main selling point so i cant imagine they'd have the polaris take its thunder. 🎉
I think someone made a typo. The Captain of the ship IS the CO (Commanding Officer) so unless one room is his quarters and the other his office (or mess) it's a redundant space.
Also the Polaris is actually labled as a capital ship.
True, but there is where it collides with the dictionary (Webster) "a warship of the first rank in size and armament : a major surface ship (as a battleship, cruiser, aircraft carrier)"
@@RaysGuide well... i didn't know that there is a naval category for small, medium, large and capital ships. 🤔
By that definition neither a corvette nor a destroyer would be capital ships. But i think that the crew requirements and component size, together with the overall size of the ship determine what category it falls into. And polaris is pretty much a capital size ship now.
They did actually have concept images of the side ramps (there's one on both sides). And I thought they even showed a picture with a Nova tank on it (but everything I've seen suggests nothing taller than an Ursa. I must be imagining things). I need to go find it again to be sure. Hope they offer some methods for loading more torpedoes from the cargo bay. But that might be a bit much.
Edit: Well, can't find the original pictures I saw, but if you look for the 'Around the Verse: 3.10 - UK' video, they showcase the original concept and you can see it there.
As always, thorough and measured analysis - thank you. And the turrets certainly look at least size 6?
Trying to gauge the size of the turrets based off of the cargo elevator and the COs quarters I'd say they have to be at least a size 6 and when you see that at least some of the turrets have 4 guns! This ship is going to be a beast certainly not a ship to sleep on wile in combat.
One more thought the way the turrets are mounted makes me think the Polaris is going to be a mobile ground base of sorts with decent ground to air defence, a forward base of operations type maybe?
the visual size suggests size 7 on them, but also may mean with the new master mode changes that torpedos may be less potent.
Great analysis! Based on the size in the image my guess is size 6
I like the rework and also find comfort in the fact that they said that they did not have concept art for all of the rooms, which implies that there are more rooms one of which is hopefully for vehicle transport. I expect that if there is a better layout the Devs will consider it before release, as for the bonks, I see two double bonks on the wall the two double in front of them, I could be wrong. The turrets are massive, if you take in account that the turret seems to be larger than the Command Officer's room, I will guess that they are at least size five maybe size six.
@Ray: my man, re-read the title. Also, the Polaris is a capital ship, always has been.
Webster would disagree " a warship of the first rank in size and armament : a major surface ship (as a battleship, cruiser, aircraft carrier)"
@@RaysGuide Well, webster isn't developing a game. In SC, capital ships are the hub around which you build a fleet. They provide things that fighters might not have (cargo/medbay), but cost extra manpower in return. It was initially intended to take the Idris' place as a smaller capital ship, after the Idris puffed up in order to take ships in its hangar. Also, even though the Polaris doesn't have major guns like the Idris/Javelin, its torp payload was always intended to be a massive deterrent on par with the others.
Based on the size of the 1 SCU boxes, as well as the escape pods, I'd estimate the guns to be size 6. I can't see them being much larger without introducing balancing problems as the Polaris already has the torps and having guns bigger than a size 6 would start to make the hammerhead and Perseus become obsolete
I really like the reconcept, but like you pointed out, there is a lot of unused space atm. As for the new turrets, it makes the most sense to me for them to be Size 6. Size 7's would be ridiculous and totally overshadow the Perseus. Seeing that Size 5's are the first level of anti-large ship guns, it makes sense for something this large and combat focused to be beyond the first level of that sort of combat.
Im guessing 6 or 7 based on the mess hall and CO quarters. They look like biguns. Very nice review as always.
I feel like there should be an option to change the "drivers" position in the bridge... like, if you want to be that iconic, Captain Kurk, stoic pose while someone else flies the ship type. You can shout commands from central post, send out debriefs, status checks, emails, things of the like. Or or or, if you're a dedicated imperialist and refuse to drive in the left position! :D lol
Great breakdown/recap video. I’m kinda hoping the turrets are s6 guns so we finally can try those out… but I’m guessing these are either 6 or 7 based on the size.
The Polaris is already terrifying. The Idris is going to need another overhaul 😝
@@CapnSnackbeard I think the Idris being able to carry multiple ships (Legionnaires, maybe?) and the S10 gun should help. But the Polaris is an anti cap ship vehicle, with the torps to do some serious damage.
The torps were always the most fearsome thing, but the guns were insufficient to protect it from other threats. This will change that.
@@RaysGuide very much agree. I think the upgrade will go a long ways to make it a viable capital ship, rather than just a torpedo ship that happens to be big.
I did a little picture analysis and some research. My guess is, they are Size 6 Behring cannon.
Very nice video. Looking at the sabre my guess would be size 6 for the turrets
Size 5s on those turrets seem ok... and fun! :D. There is no Pyro without ship carrying ships, so I do believe the pipeline will alleviate. RSI is the pioneer manufactor, so yeah this is plausible.
One thing you maybe missed is small protrusions on the turrets that look like possibly smaller size guns to tackle fighters like the javeling has, big guns for big ships and small guns for small ships
My guess is Size 6 turrets. The Hammerhead's quad size 4's are supposed to be the optimal size for fighting off fighters. With the new master system modes the slower firing size 5+ weapons should actually have a chance to hit the smaller fighters. This ships purpose is to annihilate other sub capital and capital ships with the Size 10 torpedoes and have enough turret defensive fire to make it through fighter screens.
My bet is that the new turret weapon size for the Polaris are size 5s, Makes the most sense when compared to the military ships of a similar class. Idris being size 5 (It's smallest turrets), and Hammerhead/Carrack being size 4. Also considering the original size of the guns being size 4s, i expect size 5s from the new Polaris.
The polaris is such a cool ship and i can't wait for it to come out even though that might not be for a while. i Believe they will rework the ship and probably add size 6 guns they look really big.
I estimate the largest guns to be size 7, based on the size of the assumed 1scu cargo boxes on the small lift. Probably size 5's for the "small" turrets.
I think the turret size would be either 5 or 6 because anything above that would make it a gunship and as far as i know cig want to make it a missile-focused capital destroyer
Yeah those guns are the length of the co room. At least size 6 by my guess.
I bet the turrets will be size 7. It is called a flagship and even it would outgun the perseus, I am almost sure the perseus would get some special features to specify as a dedicated gun boat. What is widely forgotten, the engineering gameplay will need storage space as well, my bet for the extra storage space.
Based on the cockpit, the guns are probably at least size 6, maybe size 7. Hopefully they aren't too large, since that might actually hurt the ship in hunting down the enemies.
Good Work! A better presentation than CIG's.
Interesting "upgrades" to the concept. They said the the hanger grew and I think along with the entire ship grew. Those guns look like size 6 to me, but they could be size 5. I don't have enough knowledge to accurately guess. At the same time, this is just a re-concepting and is subject to change.
I’m just not sold on the largest ships like the Polaris. They feel more like raids vs group play and raids always felt like work. I see the most fun being in ships between 1-6 players. That being said I do wonder how npcs will work on ships in general as they will make play better or worse depending on how it’s actually implemented.
The cargo elevator in the hanger I would hope be used to transfer material and repair components for the ship in the hanger. Alternatively it could be used to haul the bullets for the new size 6 turrets when manual reloading is a thing.
Also, the original materials on the Polaris had the ramp/cargo door.
Those turrets are sure larger than on the original concept. Very similar to the smaller turrets on the Javelin. Size 5 or 6 I would think. just look at their size compared to the Sabre in the hanger or the Captains Quarters below the translucent turret.
size 6 for the win
Yes!! another sub capital that is on its way, they are coming! Anyway, base off of the escape pods, I'd say they are easily size 7 repeaters.
This is a capital ship, Ray is mistaken. Full compliment of capital components and ~175m long after its size increase.
@@ghostcarp ok. Thanks for the precision on the Polaris 🙂. It’s still a big ship that still require game mechanics to be implemented in order to make it playable. It’s going to be nice.
That Polaris turret looks to be size 5 to me based on absolutely nothing but intuition and CIG's plans for Size 7's on the perseus.
I would have a size 7 smile if I won the giveaway!!! Thanks for such great content.
Since the breakdown of the weapons in SC is S1-S4 is anti-fighter and S5-S10 is anti-capital, I'm guessing they'll be at least S5. But after standing next to the guns on display at IAE, I realized how huge these guns are and how bad I am at estimating them. I thought the S4 Rhino was big on my 325a or my 400i. But those S5s? Wow.
They seem to be around a size 6 or 7 on the Polaris. Going to be a real handful if a org drops one into a combat zone.
I assume those turrets are size 5, which to my way of thinking covers the transition point between something tuned for hitting fighters and something tuned for hitting capital ships, in effect a powerful weapon for use against medium and large ships.
It looks like both sides of the cargo bay open with ramps as the detail is the same on each side with pistons. If the part above the ramp also opened that would allow slightly larger vehicles access, maybe theNova or at least the Spartan APC. The turret guns look like size 5 and the front looks larger at size 6 perhaps.
I'm thinking a Spartan will hit the roof on the ramp breakover.
Hah! You called it, keep the large ship team together... Turret guess is S5s
The Polaris Cargo bay must be made with the RSI Lynx in mind too. It looks like they made those doors too small for it so URSA would be the biggest it can take. When I think it should take a slightly bigger more military focused vehicle. Maybe even the Spartans.
The cargo bay screams torpedo reloads (if they're say 4 SCU apiece) and or Spartan APCs.
For this combat ship….I’m wagering it will be size 6. It’s an anti-large ship type ship…so it makes sense.
Turret Size 7 Guns is my wish and I think the Polaris will be $1,000 at launch. I grabbed a Hammerhead to Polaris CCU for $50 with store credit just in case.
Nice video, but the ramp has always been there. Also the Polaris is a capital ship. They always said it was the smallest of capitals with some large components, but now it's certainly outgrown those as well. Turrets I'd say size 6 to 7 given ships like the Perseus. I hope the main gun is at least 7, but the secondary ones should be 5 at most. I'd actually prefer more smaller ones to deter fighters.
The turrets will be size 5. I’m assuming that they are meant just to ward off fighters and not take out capital ships. That being said, the turrets are in an aggressive location and not so much defensively placed.
They can’t be lower in power than the hammerhead.
I own a solid path to a Polaris /Perseus and Galaxy, and I kinda have problems with random jutting of armor 'n struts 'n engines and general form of an RSI ship. Maybe they'll get it right when goaded by the community to do it on the first try from here on.
I still say, it feels like somebody's been hired to measure each beam and opening to make sure we can't fit basic ship / vehic combos into a ship to make it a more powerful force....until the next concept is up for sale.
"Turret guns will be size 6 for sure seeing no ship has em atm, and they "already" have em in game.....somewhere."
I think the new turret guns will be size 5. They are definitely bigger, but not obnoxiously large like size 6 or 7.
As a rough eye-balling-estimate I'd say these could be twin Size 6 guns. Seem to be but a tad smaller than the Size 7 of the Starfighter when comparing the turret capsule to a cockpit.
I'm just gonna go with size 6 on this. Purely guessing :D
Can't wait to go solo ROC mining in this bad boy with it's size 7 turret weapons. I think size 7 because that is the size of weapon on the Ares heavy fighters and they are supposed to be designed as anti capital ship craft.
Solo ROC mining LOL.
Since the Sabre in the hangar can have 4x S4 guns mounted on it, I think the new turret guns are around the S6 mark.
Aren’t sabres s3’s?
@@QuotidianStupidity You're right, thought they were stock gimbaled S3s
@@profdecoy I was thinking I’d definitely have to get me one if it had 4 S4’s!
Would be a lot of fun
Seriously I think it's up to us, the community, to untangle the capital vs subcapital vs large nomenclature. We all know that CIG's bad at naming stuff but people always get in arguments over these things and it'd be nice to establish some community wide consensus and category system that holds even if CIG call some ship X when it's not.
The way I've seen it used the most is that you split it up by length and components, which leads to the Polaris, 890J, Reclaimer etc. being capitals, with the Polaris just being a small capital but not subcapital in class.
The subcapital size is usually reserved for the really large ships, so a Connie ain't it of course but what makes it here is a bit more difficult. Because I personally wouldn't call a 600i a subcapital just a big large ship, same with the Herc but something like a Percy, HH, Carrack and Cat is. Imo a good way to cut it off would be by just saying 100 meters being the limit, purely for naming reasons.
Also imo those are looking like S5s, maybe S6s. If I was CIG I'd be really careful with upgunning and undercrewing the Polaris all that much cause it might start cutting into the Perseus' abilities along with leaving the Polaris a bit more helpless against fighters. Sure repeaters are an option but those muzzle velocities aren't great for fighters and bombers zooming past your ship, bullying you and that one fighter in the hangar won't save the ship
It is accurately called a corvette, a small warship. In Age of Sail days, it definitely would not qualify as a ship-of-the-line. Webster's defines Capital Ship as " a warship of the first rank in size and armament : a major surface ship (as a battleship, cruiser, aircraft carrier)" so the dictionary says no to a corvette.
@@RaysGuide Yes but in my mind that's lore terminology, I'm talking for gameplay purposes so that if you say something is "subcapital sized" that everybody knows "Aw yep, that's about 100-130 meters" whereas a capital ship would be anything beyond that, same with how a Scorpius is a Heavy Fighter but still just a small ship, so everybody pictures a ship that's around 30 meters long but with a lot of guns and armor.
In that sense the Polaris would be a capital sized Corvette, a Corvette meaning it's still just a small warship in the grand scheme of things but since it's in the ballpark of capital sizes it's already beyond 130 meters in length. Or the Reclaimer, a capital heavy salvage ship, meaning it's above 150 meters in length and equipped to do salvage.
Meanwhile the Perseus is a subcapital frigate, so even if you don't know the ship exactly you think of something 100-130 meters in length and since it's a frigatte that means it's a warship with lots of guns and ordnance on it. You see what I mean?
Whatever the size, (probably at least 6 or 7) the bigger guns mean it's not just an anti-fighter Corvette. I'm considering CCU'ing one of my ships to it during Invictus.
Anyways, all good suggestions for the interior. Those Snipes in the Engineering/Cargo deck will be screwed if they need to get to the escape pods without power or a direct route that isn't down because of a hull breach. But I do believe this ship will still need to carry cargo. The supplies needed might not take all of it, but long patrols could use up to half that space. Don't expect to use all of it for vehicles or snubs.
Speaking of the snipes though, one thing all you civies keep missing on the specs is the Captain and CO rooms. These are redundant and mis-labeled. Any military person (I'm just prior Air Force and Army, served with heaps of Naval officers though. Or heck anyone who lives and breathes pre-2009 Star Trek) will tell you, the 'Captain' is the CO! CO stands for Commanding Officer.
Captain isn't just a rank, it's also a title for anyone above and below that actual rank. (A Captain by courtesy as the old naval term went. Anyone from the lucky Ensign/Midshipman who survived the other officers' deaths to the Admiral taking in a command).
The label for Captain's quarters should be CO and the label for the CO's room should be XO, known as the Executive Officer. It's smaller after all. The CO and XO should have their own rooms and that's how I'll be using them. CIG needs some damn prior service naval people on their team. They're obviously missing the most basic of information on how larger military ships are organised.
Looking at the elevator and imagining boxes on it. Probably size 6 or 7 gun turrets
Polaris is not a sub-capital. It's a full capital ship due to its size being longer than 150m.
I highly suspect that the turrets will be size 6. The torps are its main weapon, but the ships main focus is anti capital ship combat. Size 7's would be stepping on the toes of its little perseus brother and likely pack a bit too much punch when you have this many of them in one platform. 5's would probably be fine but that concept scaling looks bigger than 5s.
Great video, although I think the position of the armoury is not that bad, if it was next to the EVA exits, it would also be easier for an invading force to take over, making it harder to defend the ship if it's been boarded.
Also, I think those turrets might have S6 weapons, they are huge and compared to those 1SCU boxes, they appear bigger than S5 but they don't seem as big as the S7 Ion's cannon.
