oh my... i managed to get tempted to upgrade my aurora to a reliant kore.... to save 10 dollars...
i have done some soul searching, and thought long and hard about ship and future use.
I managed to talk myself into that the only ships i should have for real money, would be a ship i can see myself always use no matter what else happens.
So on that order, i have thought about the Cutlass Red, and my love the starfarer.
Those are the only two i could see that would always have a specific use to me, no matter what ships i end up having in the future of the verse.
The cutlass red, because it can be used not only as a search and rescue ship, but also as a transport ship with it's cargo space.
The starfarer, well because it's simply amazing in looks and utility...
So my thought is to save up once in awhile, and upgrade a little more towards one of those ships. That way i won't take such a hard hit on my economy when buying the ship i love at once... :D
