Ship overview

The Perseus is a large patrol gunship manufactured by Roberts Space Industries. Initially created in the late 2520s for the UPE Navy, it underwent a redesign in 2950 to become a civilian model, incorporating contemporary components and focusing on enhanced utility. Originally designed for blockade operations and confrontations with sub-capital vessels, the Perseus is equipped with robust turrets and a torpedo launch bay.

Key features

• Manned turrets: The Perseus is armed with two crewed turrets, each featuring two bespoke Size 8 ballistic cannons and two Size 3 gun hardpoints for improved fighter deterrence and defense
• Remote turrets: There is also two remote turrets for anti-fighter support, each with two Size 3 guns with one on the bridge for pilot control, and the other on the keel. Additionally, it features six Point Defense Turrets for extra protection against ordnance
• Torpedoes: The ship has two internal torpedo bays for up to forty Size 5 torpedoes, with ten in each auto-loader and an additional twenty in nearby racks. These bays can be replenished from the cargo bay, enhancing the ship's ordinance capacity. The pilot can launch torpedoes traditionally or via a control console in the front section
• Cargo Bay: The internal bay serves as the nexus of surface access, docking access and cargo access. The bay has been engineered to support a range of payloads with a 96 SCU cargo grid that can store sizes of up to 32-SCU containers. It can also accommodate vehicles like the Ursa or MTC, and when not in use, it serves as a basketball half-court with illuminated markings and an automatic unstowing hoop
• Crew areas: The Perseus features crew quarters for six, a separate Captain's Quarters, and a military-style galley to keep the crew well-fed and motivated. It also includes a comprehensive engineering bay for operations, maintenance, and repairs
• Personal item storage: There are personal lockers that can each hold up to 1000k uSCU of various items, with six located in the crew quarters and one located in the captains quarters. There are also suit lockers, six in the crew quarters and one in the captain's quarters, however as of Alpha 4.7.2 this functionality has yet to be implemented
• Weapon/Utility racks: In the crew quarters, there are FPS racks that can hold twelve Size 2-4 weapons and/or tools, twelve Size 1 pistols and/or medguns, as well as twelve Size 1 tools. In the Captains Quarters there are racks that can hold two Size 2-4 weapons and/or tools, two Size 1 pistols and/or medguns, as well as two Size 1 tools.

Star Citizen offers its players the chance to upgrade their virtual spacecraft through a feature known as "Cross Chassis Upgrades" or CCUs. These upgrades allow users to swap one ship for another while maintaining the original ship's value. To effectively apply these upgrades, follow the instructions below:

1. Purchase the CCU

Before anything else, you must first buy the CCU you want. You can do this by:

• Head over to our upgrades section
• Find the upgrade to the ship you want to upgrade to and choose the correct source ship from the drop down menu
• Complete the purchase
• Wait for the delivery via RSI gifting system (in most cases you should receive an email with the gift link in a few minutes)
• Claim the upgrade by logging in on the RSI website and then clicking the gift link

2. Locate Your CCU in Your Hangar

After purchasing, your CCU will be sent to your online hangar.

• Go to the "My Hangar" section on the RSI website.
• Browse through your hangar's list until you find the CCU you just purchased.

3. Apply the Upgrade

Now that you've located the CCU, the next step is to apply it to your ship.

• Click on the arrow located next to your CCU to expand its details.
• Find the "Apply Upgrade" button and click on it.
• You'll be taken to a page that will show both your current ship and the ship you want to upgrade to. Confirm that the details are accurate.
• Click "Next" to move on to the final step.
• On this page, you'll have to confirm the ship you're upgrading and the ship you're getting. If everything is right, click on the "Apply Upgrade" button.

Once you've done this, the upgrade will be finalized, and your old ship will be replaced with the new one in your hangar.

Important Notes

• Melt Value: It's vital to remember that the melt value (the amount you'll get if you exchange your ship for store credit) remains based on the original ship's cost plus the cost of the CCU.
• Downgrades: As of the last update, it's not possible to downgrade ships. If you want a cheaper ship, you'll have to melt your current ship and repurchase the desired one.
• Insurance: When you upgrade a ship, the insurance and other bonuses from the original ship will carry over to the new ship.
• Chaining CCU's: If you are unable to find a direct CCU, you can simply chain the upgrades and apply them one by one to get the ship you want.

By following the above steps, you can smoothly upgrade your ship in Star Citizen and explore the vast universe in a brand-new spacecraft. Always make sure to confirm all details before finalizing any upgrade to avoid potential issues.
