The star of IAE 2955. shubn says he has a chain to it. We'll see if/when he chooses to apply it.

My understanding is that it's a gunship, a smaller Hammerhead. The HH is 9P, this is 6P. So I've given the Perseus to the Captain and the HH to the Commander. The lower ranks have their smaller gunships too. So the Perseus will be a good option when we don't have enough people to fully-crew the HH. Instead of a half-crewed HH we can have a fully-crewed Perseus. Will be important now that engineering is finally arriving.

Obviously there will be more differentiating factors, e.g. cargo, vehicles it can store, etc. I'll wait for the experts to write essays about it and then post them here.

So anyway I thought I'd start the thread when I saw that kickass image on Twitter.

I'll apply my chain either on November 24 (because it's MISC day and I need a Hull D upgrade to complete the chain) or later, depending on when we need it.

What's the advantage of applying it later? Maybe a new CCU will be released that fits in the chain for a bigger discount?

Yes exactly. If you wait until the last day of IAE, you're sure to get the most optimized chain. Although my Perseus chain is already at 63% savings (that's on the current price—it will be higher once released) so at that point any further optimizations are likely to be minimal, and are just for the fun of getting the higher number.

Ah okay. So yeah I don't think we'll need it sooner than the end of IAE. We'll be playing Sworn Enemies during that time, which is mostly set inside a station and surrounding asteroid bases.
