Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

[Black Sunder]

Remember tomorrow, same time is the Aegis sale with a new concept being shown for that too. I'll update the OP when it comes online provided the site doesn't have a stroke like today.

And just like that I set myself up for failure.

Just posting for documentation.

No, you're posting it because I want it.... and I'll have it!

I only saw 4 weapons in the video, though the designer claimed 6.

It looks kind of cool, though I am not seeing the need or the advantages over the Avenger Series.

I stand corrected.

I saw the other two guns afte r a couple more views. My intention is bounty hunting so I was looking at Youngblood's should you buy.

My mistake. :)

So something is wrong, and my guess is the stat page.

Idk what todo so many ships to choose
I own:
Freelancer Dur (my all purpose ship, maybe a little bit too small)
Cutlass black (just bought it to use the upcoming price increase so definitely meltable)
Gladius (cool ship but i'm not sure if i'm really going to have fun as a close quarter dogfighter meltable)
X1 (lti token, maybe for my dur as explorer)

I like the carrack but i think it might turn out as to big.
I'm thinking about a LR fighter as a support ship but i get totally confused by all those options
Then i'm curious what those other ships might be

Plan A: Carrack
Plan B: keep the Dur and buy Vanguard or Retilator for those sweet Hit and Run operations
Plan C: Maybe the MIS is an option too (keep dur again)
I'm not sure if the vanguard is going to be what i like. Actually i would like to have my Dur slightly bigger (smaller than the Connie which i like for its "its a spaceship to live in feeling" and i would love to have a little bit more in my Dur of that)
No real need to answer i'm just announcing my insecurities of what i want and sometimes writing things down helps making decisions.

I, too, would love a "home" ship sized somewhere between a Freelancer and a Connie. A solo (but also multicrew friendly) jack of all trades.

I get the impression the Hawk isn't going to be the only new ship revealed during the sale

We will bring [...] a couple of new ones
So Aegis (another fighter? But i think maybe a mid sized all purpose ) and CO ( something for outposts or a heavier fighter ?)

 

[Black Sunder]

Soon Day 2 sale will begin.

 

[Takeiteasy]

What time does it start? I fancy an Aegis ship.

Separate cage in the back to place BH targets
Window by feet so you can see your target on the ground
Small ship, but "lots of weapons" (6 weapon slots)
armor is very light.
Boasts an EMP
entry similar to a gladiator
Middle of the road with "versatility" but does not stand out in any particular field.

Cheers brother. I appreciate the breakdown.

My guess is something broke because the day is well advanced and yet no sale so far today.

Trying to decide if I should melt my bikes to buy a hawk. Currently I have a Cutty black a Dragonfly and a Nox. If I melt the bikes I only need $5 more to buy a hawk. I think I might get more use out of the Hawk and it seems like the bikes will be easy to acquire in game.

What do you guys think?

Yeah definitely sounds logical, the Drake bikes will be easy to get but the others look and seem more expensive but they will be a very good starter goal for the official release when it comes I say go for it.

Op updated with links.

 

[Richard Bong]

the store is effectively dead.

You would think they would have planned for this.

CCU page constantly 504 Gateway Timeouts. I hope my ship (when I finally get to buy it) has 504 on the side.
