Polaris's torpedo launch system is rated for size Ten (X) torpedoes - but it has crossed my theory crafting mind to imagine the potential utility of being able to launch smaller sized torpedoes as well. I *don't* 'expect' CIG intends any such thing, but it could extend the utility of the ship and potentially some more creative game play scenarios if one could load up their Polaris with specialty torpedoes found only in smaller versions like probes or decoys. That or deciding to restock one's Polaris with the only torpedoes available in the local market. Another possibility along these lines would be a disposable rack to launch a volley of smaller missiles from the oversized tube with the feel of a Macross missile massacre.

If torpedo cost ever becomes a factor, it would be nice to have the option to carry size 9s if money's tight or if a resupply location doesn't have s10s available.

My best guess is either they don't have the size 10's modelled or they are changing bomb/torpedo sizes like they did with component sizes. As the javelin is supposed to have size 12... which makes you wonder if a size 9 does like 400k dmg, how mental would a size 12 be.

@@heru_ur6017 actually I know the SC fanbase can be very cult-ish but they made less money at the end of 2023 compared to 2022 if I'm correct, so this means that if they don't deliver at one point the money stops flowing in (obviously), and for example if they don't deliver the Polaris then this will be part of those deceptions and might cause them to lose money. Don't mistake me I'm expecting the Polaris to be delayed to next year just like 4.0 but it is not impossible to see them dropping it this year

Turrets need a massive buff. Using the same weapon sizes as a Fighter 😂

Im more interesting in the modules the tali has now in the version tbh.

The Speeds seem kinda weird, the SCM speed is fairly high, but the afterburner is relatively slow... but then again, CIG has no clue what to do with speeds in their "jesus patch mastermodes" anyway. For the most part the armament makes sense (I assume the S9 Torps are placeholders, otherwise spectrum would have a meltdown), going with quad guns instead of larger ones seems good for the kind of threads the Polaris should be expected to defend from, rather than giving it the ability to save the torpedos and bully other large combat ships with guns. IMO the Missile Turret is nonsense, since missiles have no significant impact on that scale and it would be very awkward to reload. I also don't get what the 16 S3 Missiles are supposed to archive... at the very least it would have seemed more plausible to add a smaller launch system for those missiles with internal reloading (= Freelancer MIS), rather than having full on external missile racks.

@ROrneli no, Polaris heavily relies on her size 10 torpedoes. Her turrets are not great and she can carry one small ship only. Will torpedoes be deadly again? Maybe, right now they are getting shot down too easily. However, things in Star Citizen often change from patch go patch, CIG has a strong tendency to have something totally OP only to nerf it into Oblivion next patch. If what we see in year 12 is any indicator, CIG is very bad at balancing anything.

Ship feels underpowered in terms of weapons?? So many dedicated Torpedo turrets and so few actual guns. I feel like 3 is plenty? Unless it let's us restock missiles automatically from cargo???
