The laser's lifespan is 750,000, surpassing the lifespan of the ship itself and the Idris cannon, which doesn't make sense, but is probably a bug, and even that doesn't make the ship overpowered.

So let's clarify a few things about the ship and the laser:

The S10 laser has a range of 2500m and deals maximum damage at 1000m.

This means:

- 18000 damage at 1000m

- 9000 damage at 1750m

- 4500 damage (ion level) around 2100m

- 2250 damage around 2300m

- 1125 damage around 2400m

- 0 damage at 2500m

So you need to be close, very close to achieve damage that surpasses the Idris laser, and this, combined with its maneuverability, makes it extremely difficult to hit anything smaller than capital ships. Even Perseus ships can easily dodge this laser. Remember that CIG itself said that the Tiburon is for killing capitals, so this is expected and not outside the scope of the ship.

As for using it solo to face capitals with just the laser, it's mediocre at best. Its laser doesn't fire for very long and... It takes a long time to recharge the charge, so you'll be constantly melting capital shields forever, because every time you melt them, you'll need to recharge the laser, and in that time the shields regenerate, so it's not as effective as people imagined.

Now let's get to the Tiburon's strong point: crew. It's extremely effective with a crew against capitals. The turrets' firing arc is excellent; hitting the same targets the laser is focusing on is very easy. They also rotate very quickly, and this solves the laser and shield problem, because you use the laser to quickly take down the shields, allowing the cannons to deal more damage. The cannons will maintain a steady fire, preventing the shield from regenerating, and this will give the laser time to recharge and deal 100% of its damage directly to the hull. So the Tiburon's armament works very well and complements each other in an exemplary way for battles against capitals.

She has many weaknesses, from range and low HP to maneuverability, so most fighters and smaller ships she can actually fight and even destroy, especially if she's solo.

It's a good example of a ship that can hit larger ships, but isn't very effective against smaller ones, and overall, will need a crew or escorts to deal with multiple targets.

Aside from the laser's life, the only thing I would change would be to add at least 2 or 3 PDCs . It doesn't make much sense for her not to have that considering the ships that attack her. She probably doesn't have as many as a Perseus, of course, but she should have something.

CIG, I appreciate the opportunity to have an epileptic seizure while I'm trying to fly, but could we please just not have lights pointing and flashing in our faces?

The measurement method was quite simple: using the measurements of Size 4 (red at the top) and Size 5 (red at the bottom).

So, for those who didn't understand the image:

- If the weapons are size 4, the ship will be approximately 38 meters long.

- If the weapons are size 5, the ship will be approximately 50 meters long.

Therefore, we can say with some certainty that they are probably size 4. I can't imagine this ship being 50 meters long, but who knows.

Furthermore, we still don't know if these are the only weapons on the ship. There is also the possibility of weapons hidden in the fuselage. Moreover, it could be a stealth ship with few weapons (and even then, 2xS4 would be very few). In any case, I hope this helps those who were in doubt.

I want to add here that this is not an exact measurement; I may be off by 1 meter. It's just an estimate.

Edit: Due to the number of comments saying they are size 3, let's clarify here, THEY ARE NOT DAMN SIZE 3, CF-337 Panther has a different design from the others.

Currently, the only RSI spacecraft with a white and blue interior is Apollo, because it's a medical spacecraft, but CIG, the combination of white, blue, and gray is great. However, in practically all the other spacecraft, like Zeus, Polaris, Perseus, and Hermes, it's basically a matte gray with a few blue and white lines.

I know some things will change; I know those monitors in the cockpit will be reduced to a simple screen like Polaris's, which is fine, but don't remove the colors that make the interior of that spacecraft stand out.

You improved this a bit in the Perseus's rooms, which have more color, but white interiors like the Galaxy's hangar, its corridors, and its modules really look beautiful visually. Don't limit white and blue only to specific rooms.

The Galaxy has a gorgeous interior; please really follow the concept example and don't limit everything to shades of gray.

Relax, I'm not going to ask what they are, I know nobody can stand that question anymore, but a doubt arose. I saw some images of some of them wearing different clothes and ornaments

My question is, is there any kind of hierarchy among them, like ranks or something like that?

Another question is, do Chaos Cherubs exist?

If so, how are they made? Are they corrupted from our Cherubs or are they created by members of Chaos?
