[GI] pusat

So this morning i did a kuiper gate for the first time and i recievied a Pusat as a reward..... very nice, my question is is it worth the time and effort to equip or has it been surpassed by other newer ships
cheers Michael

 

Tart is faster.

The Tartarus used to be faster, until its Speed Boost ability was reduced by 10% in a balance patch as seen in the above thread link. But other than speed, Pusat is a more on the fragile side ship which should think about. I personally like using it as a high damage hit&run/annoying fly kind of PvP ship lol.


Though it is not so simple to say "Pusat is faster" totally... I vaguely remember someone has tested it before(seen on Discord), so I've gone tested it myself as well. I'll put below the speed of the ships depending on drone formation used(Promerium on Generators):

	Tartarus	Pusat	Infection status Tartarus/Pusat​
Base speed*	577	588	532 / 529​
Wheel	600	618	555 / 559​
Ring/Drill	555	559	511 / 500​
Crab	511	500	465 / 441​

*Speed is not being effected by any drone formation. (Of course Tartarus Speed Boost ability is on)

As can see Tartarus ship speed is being effected differently, I assume it's due to how it's Speed Boost ability works. May find it interesting to know, well know I do if wonder why under some circumstances a Tartarus is faster lol. (it is weird, but who knows what's chances it will get changed/fixed >.>)

 

Great speed breakdown.
I have Tartarus but was unaware of this.

 

Thanks for helping the OP. Special thanks to Kyro for the detailed response.

The only thing I would add is the Pussat is a fun ship when ding timed missions.

Does the OP have any further questions?
