Is parsec prototype worth it?

[Zalza]

Hey guys&gals

I'm thinking of saving for a Parsec, BUT i am not sure if it's worth it, is it? or isn't it? of course it will take me a long time to save for it but i'd like to know before i do is the draconis armor on the parsec as good as storm draco ship with deluv armour or is it better?

thanks!

and yeah i know i will have to raise 3.3millcry.... i will do it!!!

Hi there Zalza although I don't have a parsec I can tell you right now they are worth it especially in sirius. Drac armour is approx 50% stronger than meth armour on a meta ship so they can take a fair beating the dominator especially with 19,000 hit points. The parsec you choose depends on your personal preference but in my honest opinion based on what I've heard the best 2 are the domi and constructor (i plan to build this one coz engis are awesome and invaluable in sirius) each for a different reason the domi for endurance and the constructor for it's battlefield medic capabilities.

Ps. A great way to get the cryo for a parsec is to do all your white missions

Hope this helps

I find Parsec Storm very good specially when reach Sirius.
Parsec Draconis armor is good, and even more with Sirius armor.
Specially cause the Parsecs doesn't get stunned, thats the best on it when on Sirius.

The type I think it's up to you in whole, but the 3 favorites of mine are Storm, Constructor & Dominator.

short answer: NO.

long answer (elaboration why it sux):
prototype ships really dont have any significance in sirius system and here is why:
1) too expensive compared to ancient ships
2) stun resist DOES NOT worth 3.5mil cryo IMHO - in sirius you're doing stuff with clan, in clan you must have engis for missions (escort missions) hence they can use protect to give stun resist to non stun resist ships - i.e. META ships.
3) if you dont have at least kenyte afterburner you'll regret the day you bought sirius armor on parsec - i was one of many pilots that made this mistake when sirius opened, spent 675k on sirius armor then update came out and draconis drifter afterburner was pointless on prototype class with sirius armor. i had to be in orbit in sq while sq leader would get into position then i land and so on.
4) 20% more HP means nothing in pvp with sirius strong weapons. parsec will pod when hit with sirius strong rocket.
5) terorizer and disruptor prototypes are practically fail ships for two reasons:
a) terorizer lacks firepower and armor
b) disruptor has strong weapons (sniper blaster and orbital strike) that make huge aggro on mantis hence you become target number 1 and being that it is paper ship i.e. sniper class you'll pod a lot in it.

6) not usable for missions in lower systems (so i heard) - i havent checked this myself but according to some players you cant use prototype class ships for missions even if you use respective system armor and weapons. this is probably the strongest reason AGAINST prototype class - why spending hours of grinding to buy something that cost tons of cryonite and on top of it all you cant use it; and then you need to grind even more to get system ship to do missions?! doesnt make any sense whatsoever. why buying something you cant use fully? DONT - it's simple as that.

so it comes down on some funny reason to buy it:
-they look cool
-not everyone has one (yet)
-indeed those 20% more HP and stun resist can save you sometimes

so do the looks and two advantages worth the 3.5mil cryo? my advice - if you're in some good clan that has already gone through hard time in sirius (getting kenyte tech) and if you still dont have ancient ship unlocked - be patient. you'll hit that planet sometime and you'll save yourself a trouble of grinding 3 times more cryonite. however if you still want a prototype class ship after all these pros and cons then go for either parsec, constructor, dominator or defender. terrorizer and disruptor are lost cause.

people crying about sirius ships being stronger -.-

if your true to your fourm description, it says your lvl 60, then yes its a good investment. I got my parsec at lvl 60 right after i got the x sniper to grind for it. and its very nice. good for earth and drac missions, very helpful to have leveling up, and if your doing solo work its just better. Its not bad in sirius either, so yes its good.

Best ship in PG now is Ancient Punisher. Its 1.6 million Cryo. So this is money you must have with you while jumping planets searching this ship and its BPs. About Parsec class, only Constructor is worth double more money than Punisher, because Giza cannot be easily shot without Constructor. It can heal aggro player who gets most damage, and others with repair field.
Other parsec class ships were good some years ago when Draconis system started. You didnt have ship when start to play in Draconis, but who had Parsec class ship, played a lot easier, because they had 20% more armor on top of common Deluvian.
Now, in Sirius many of them are out of use, so if you havent bought one, you better save Cryo for Sirius class. Raider and Punisher are best Sirius ships that exist. Raider have 3 more weapons that are coming from Giza, and 1 that coming from Strong units. (If you have middle weapons with number 3, stronger with 4, and best 5, then it will be 5,5,5,4) Its very strong ship. His armor is same as Parsec defender with 4th armor, that means bigger than Parsec Storm, Terrorizer, Engineer and Sniper. And it cost half.
Dominator can also give you cool play, but it cant do anything for other players, cant heal them, cant cover them. It don't have firepower, and by many players it is known as "P.... Wagon"
The only reason why Parsec class ships are so expensive is that they are available in shop and there is a possibility that when new system comes (Tau Ceti), their armor will be increased, so then they will be stronger in Sirius. But, would they be stronger then Tau Ceti ships I wonder?
