Alienweek Warbond CCUs

[FZD]

Seems there are a few, so let's take a look:

Date	Ship	Warbond CCU Price	Normal price
15th	Defender	$200	$220
	Blade	$250	$275
	BMM	$600	$650

Well, that's a nice little surprise for sure. I don't recall how the alien week last year went, but I wasn't really expecting too many WB CCUs from alien week.

I can't help but to notice that BMM hasn't had a price bump in a while. Perhaps we're pretty close to the final price.

Did the bmm go up another 50?

As it's expected to increase in price when it releases (Potentially later this year), it may be worth including the $220 San'tok.yāi on the list as well, given this could be the last time it is available before release... If bought now with credits, it would provide the same benefit as a release Warbond CCU, but without the need to spend new money.

Nah, it's been $650 since 22-11-21... Uhm, actually I just realized that's in American, so it's 21st of November 2022. Huh, I could've sword it's been longer. Felt like 22nd November 2021.

The BMM will not be ready this year, not anytime soon.

They were making great strides, which was why they bumped up the prices as much as they did…but then they lost a lot of the key people on the effort. It would take a lot of time to get new people back up to speed on it, and even then, it’s a single use vehicle for the assets. None of the asset they would develop for the ship could be used anywhere else. Thus, it has been shelved for the foreseeable future.

Instead, the Polaris is moving into development. The assets used for the Polaris will then be used to help create the Perseus, Galaxy, and maybe even the Apollo. (By then, they hope to have modularity sorted out…they think/say they are getting close to being done on modularity.). This will allow them to pump out multiple capital ships from their backlog by using common assets.

As a BMM backer, I personally don’t expect to see the BMM for another 3-5 years, maybe longer.

The BMM isn't going to get released any time soon. Work has stopped and resources have been reallocated. It's not a Squadron 42 ship, and everything on it is bespoke.
