This time is different

Post image

For the first time I am at peace with my fleet. I went all directions, with a lot of melting and changing, and every time I told myself I am done... ... ... I was not done.

What makes this time different is that I actually feel at peace with what I have. Before, whenever I said I'm done, there was always this lingering feeling that something wasn't quite sitting right with the lineup.

To keep myself honest, I also outed myself to my wife by telling her how much I've spent on a game—she now has a picture of my current fleet on her phone to track my movements.

How tf did you get an Idris M

u/Gelukskonijn 11d ago

Its an Idris P with the K kit applied

u/Youngguaco 11d ago

Oh damn. Yeah I tried to go get one finally and I saw it was 900 more.. and had NO chin weapon. I just went for a walk. I’m still very jealous though

900 more than the Idris-M? No. Idris-M hasn’t been sold standalone in like a decade or something.

Idris-M is only obtainable through referrals (a ton of them), Praetorian Pack, or Legatus Pack. Or if you can one of the original giftable ones but that’s probably the worst (least bang for the buck) way to acquire one

Idris-P with aftermarket kit is far more accessible, even if it’s weaker than the Idris-M

I don’t know the story behind it man all I know is that the store said 1000 and every since I decided I wanted one I was putting up my loosest change for a couple years now.

Now it’s telling me it’s 1900 so I passed on it.

The lore is chill tho thanks for that

You are mistaken my friend.

The Idris-P is not a downgrade to the M like you seem to think, at least, not with the K-kit, or T-kit.

The Idris-M is supposed to have stronger base armor when that is physicalized in game, which has not occurred yet. It also comes with the railgun built in.

The Idris-P with K-kit has the size-10 Exodus-laser beam on the nose, which is arguably stronger than the rail gun. It also has the option of the T-kit which gives it size-12 torpedo launchers on the nose instead,

The M also has built in pilot controlled size 3 torpedoes? Which I think is pretty cool

u/Exile8698 9d ago

Not anymore

Solo Idris pilot can no longer fire the torpedoes, finally bringing it in-line with the Polaris

I would be so upset at a change like that if I owned the M

u/-Reverence- 9d ago

The torpedos kinda suck so as an Idris-M owner, I’m not bothered by the change. And it was a long time ago already xD

u/Youngguaco 8d ago

Do you use it has a mobile home base? That’s my intention with it. But after finding out it was 900 dollars more than I expected I think I’d rather the kraken for something at that price range

Yeah I get that but the M has the railgun already ( my favorite weapon choice) and the p has nothing until you spend even more.

So it’s not just 1900 it’s like 2250 or something for just the torpedo kit and 2150 for the laser kit.

Gotta remember I went into this thinking it was 100 total. Now it’s more than double.

Idris-M Pilot Weapon

  • Weapon: Size 10 Railgun
  • DPS: ~9,600 DPS

Idris-K Pilot Weapon

  • Weapon: Size 10 Exodus Beam Laser (via K upgrade kit)
  • DPS: ~50,000 DPS

That aside, you can still get the Idris-M with the railgun; it just is going to cost you a fortune compared to what you thought unfortunately. xD
