Bah. Was hoping under $100. I may or may not end up getting. Although a complete Drake collection. Would be nice!

Edit: It would allow and LTI Red...

I honestly think they're going overboard with the prices... snubs aside, you're totally left out if you just want to upgrade your starter to something less pathetic without going bankrupt.

I mean... that Buccaneer doesn't have anything special from what was released so far, yet it's gonna be priced like a Constellation Taurus once it's Flight Ready.

I'm doing the exact same thing in my head. My aquila is my only ship right now though, and if i melted it, i could have 2 ships instead of one xD. i really wish these prices weren't so high :/

The Buckie has to be the same price as the Cutlass so they can CCU to the ship they should have had in the first place... hopefully...

EDIT - Scratch that, i'm talking out of my arse, the cutlass is $120. I sware it used to be cheaper than that??

At that price point it would be wrong to expect it to compete with a saber or super hornet in straight dogfighting. Supposedly they have given it a method of "moving" cargo as well so in theory it should have the utility tax but given it exists because of doing that to the cutlass I have my doubts. I am expecting 3 lvl 3 wpn points or 4 lvl2 plus some missiles in either case. I do hope it looks as good as the prospector.

I also think it shows 2.4 is taking longer than expected so they are bringing news forward to cover a dry spell.

110$ - that's a lot more than I (and many others, obviously) have expected.

And to step into the canon of Ripcord:
I will not spend more money for SC...
I will not spend more money for SC...

I do remember them saying it's basically a replacement for the Cutlass since it didn't turn out to be what people wanted. And they said it'd have a similar price point.

I would definitely not melt an Aquila for this. The amount of gameplay you'll get from that Connie seems way more than this little ship.
