Thank you! I'm really looking forward to the torpedo equiped one. I just lost one to a sub lately. ;-)

@Richman - It sounds like you're one of the lucky ones. I got messaged at work by two of my testers today, one claimed that all the front MC's suddenly didn't have any of their nodes connected and the other reported that his game just straight up crashes to desktop whenever he tries to spawn the Perseus in via the workbench.

I'm going to assume that the original file somehow got corrupted during a recent save, so once I got home I straight up replaced the whole thing with an older version and just added all the new changes I made in order to bring it up to date again.

The good news is that several of us have just finished testing it out and everything seems to be working okay, so hopefully that's it fixed now.... Heh, famous last words! ;)

Thanks! Well it now looks as Eng2's reverse is also connected to Eng1's. On purpose?

@Richman - Thanks! If this manages to get past 5K subs then I'll probably release the other two both together.

Yeah, that's a weird bug - they should both be identical but the one I've got on my hard drive works perfectly but when I try to use the most recent version I uploaded to the workshop it's not just the reverse gears - none of the controls seem to work at all.

I've re-uploaded it again to see if that fixes it, but if there's any more issues then please let me know.

Very nice ship! Interest for the Mk.II version is definitely there!

Possible you forgot to connect the reverse gear on this workshop variant?

Yes please!

If there's enough interest I might even post slightly more refined versions of the Pegasus II on the steam workshop, I've got two that I keep for personal use (both of which are featured in the last screenshot) including one that's armed with two torpedoes making it capable of hunting submarines, plus another variant that swaps out the 4x large dual purpose missiles for 8 x medium sized ones based on the Falkner-Muir RGM-30's and has a re-loadable SAM launcher on the stern instead of the 20mm CIWS.

It was actually quite a fun experience seeing itself fly at 140kph, thanks for the fix!

@j - Good news! The Stormworks Devs at Geometa have reverted the propeller changes they introduced in v1.13.5 - probably due to the sheer amount of community backlash - so the Perseus and many other workshop creations now work as normal again.

I had released a hotfixed version about half an hour ago, but thankfully I kept a copy of the original just in case something like this happened. ;)

Enjoy!

You should try this boat again with Emergency Speed, the new update has it flying

@flankervmob - Thanks. If you need help on how the weapons work then just watch the first video posted above, as there is a whole section in it where I explain how to use them in detail.

If you're having trouble understanding what is being said in the video there is also an option to turn on subtitles in your language.

honestamente achei meio confuso como funciona o armamento mas de resto funciona muito bem, aguenta muita porrada e não para de funcionar por nada.

You're most welcome DanielJT, I'm glad you enjoy using it.
Just watch out for those Bungeling attack submarines as this version of the Perseus doesn't have any torpedoes! ;)

Fantastic craft, I don't know why this doesn't have more attention, works brilliantly and the look, feel and operation of it is really good. I'll be waiting patiently for that awesome looking Block 2 model come Christmas! Thank you for making this!

@ieatdonutsfordinnerrr You are the only one that's experiencing all these issues that you're posting, not just in my comments section, but on those of several other creations on the steam workshop too that I've seen.

Therefore I strongly suspect that most of your problems are on your side.

You're obviously still quite young, so I suggest that you get one of your parents - or if you've got one - an older brother, sister or even a friend from School to help you with this game if you're having problems getting things to work.

as when i press space, it wont fire i even got the weapon armed

and also why wont the 76mm fire?

@ieatdonutsfordinnerrr - Got a colleague to test it out as well in case it was an issue with the steam workshop upload and they say everything's working okay for them too.

Try unsubbing and resubbing again to see if that fixes it, as in some cases files get corrupted during download in steam, although when that happens they usually don't work at all.

Likewise if this is a local copy of the Perseus that you've edited for personal use, then it won't work if you just switch the MC's around, as I've redesigned the whole Fire Control setup in the original to make it compatible with Pennies newest version. Your own copy won't be updated with any of that, unfortunately.

There we are - I've replaced the fire control radar with a smaller one that's got a much narrower focus, it means you have to turn the camera towards the target a little more before it'll lock on and start following it, but it's now a lot less likely to get distracted by any sub-grids on the deck now.

Thanks.
I just tested out the rear turret and it works okay, you just have to remember that when you're using the fire control radar it won't fire at anything over 800m with light autocannons.

Another tip is that it's also best not to use the target lock if you're trying to shoot at something directly behind you, just select the fire control radar and to aim slightly higher than normal, the reason why is because it loves to lock onto the missiles and RHIB on the deck instead of the target.
I'm not sure if that's because the new radars won't let 8PenniesDeep add a minimum range exclusion or something similar, but the only other alternative would probably be to add a second optics turret on the deck house.

Amazing boat. Not much else to say. It does the floating very well. That said, the back turret doesn't work for me. The main gun and missles do.

Well... I appreciate a compliment as much as the next person, but unfortunately I can't take the credit for that one as that's all down to the very talented 8PenniesDeep who is the original creator of those radar assisted weapons.

I've been experimenting with the different ones available on the workshop and his is still by far the best one available. Just don't tell him I said that. :P

cool! I'd also like to compliment you on just how good the auto-aim is, i don't think ive seen a vehicle in quite some time that can hit shots at 2km, which the 76mm can!

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I've tried to make it as performance friendly as possible whilst still remaining fairly detailed and easy to use.

Incidentally the lore is that those enemy versions of the Perseus are the Bungeling 'Sea Snake' class missile boats that are mentioned in the beginning of the description above. Those are the ships that the Perseus was reverse engineered from after a couple of them were captured by the good guys.
In reality though it's the old "work in progress" base hull that I eventually turned into one of the two AI controlled versions of it because it was already partly hollowed out. ;)

Works great against the ships in your bungeling AI addon, the 76mm is more than enough for small and medium ships, while an anti-ship missile is perfect for handling the large ships (which are also perseus-classes, ironically.) 10/10 little ship, great for combat!

Because of all your support the Perseus has passed 1,000 subs here on the Steam Workshop.

So here's a quick post to say a huge thank you to everyone for all the amazing support, more so since I'm a merely a hobbyist and not a full time content creator, artist or coder like a lot of the others who post their top creations here on the steam workshop.

As a special bonus treat for everyone I've also release a highly optimised version of the Perseus that can be used as a wandering AI vehicle, providing you have the default vehicle AI enabled.
Feel free to grab it via my workshop page.

Enjoy!!

Ahh, since you're obviously one of my younger followers I'm going to give you a couple of clues on where to find it using your own initiative and problem solving abilities:

1. It's in the description above.
2. It's mentioned in the showcase video.

If that doesn't help then you can always ask your parents or an older brother/sister for help.

what is the code to the armory

I hate to break it to you but the ship is named after Perseus, the hero from Greek (Hellenic) mythology, not the villain from that dodgy Call of Duty game. ;)

that true bell? you drag us all the way out here so perseus could detonate those nukes?

bet! cant wait for it heh

Thanks, I've got a showcase video coming soon that goes over the basics of this ship and how to use everything, hopefully it'll be out in a day or two and when it's ready I'll upload it onto my YouTube channel along with a link to it in the media section above.

looks nice. love it subbing to it and boutta test it out

I've also made this in anticipation of any low intensity career mode combat missions that are released in future, either by Zizo, Snake21JPN or (though significantly less likely) the actual Stormworks developers themselves.
