So, the noob/dumb question is, when upgrading ships, it says thst once an active beta starts, no more ship upgrades will be allowed. My question is, is there an eta on the beta? I mainly ask because I want a hammer head, and probably going to work a lot of over time to get it lol. Just hope there is enough time:p
no eta

You can melt and take the credits to buy the Hammerhead with LTI. The nice thing about the inheriting of the base package is you can apply specific characteristics to a ship that it currently doesn't have in the store like LTI. This way you can apply LTI to a ship that is currently for sale with out it. Just be careful of the upgrades the ship you want to upgrade into normally needs to cost more then the current ship.

Oh yeah for sure. I was gonna grind out an extra 60ish hours of ot in a pay period. Just want sure if they were releasing all this ship info cause a beta was coming soon or not. But if I got a few pay periods, that just makes things easy. Thanks for the info:slight_smile:
gotta be ready for a price increase with the popularity of the hammerhead im sure it will see alot of love from developers.

So melt my redeemer into credits then buy the hammerhead lti? I could do that. How do I make my redeemer into credits?

Yeah I will probably get it tonight cause of that
Even if you just got a CCU for it that would solve the problem. Id say 600i-->hammer CCU also get a Nox-->gladius gladius-->cutlass cutlass-->eclipse eclipse--->orion. orion-->600i. Also make sure you put each one of these in your Buyback also because all CCUs also work backwards in the case of a price increase. Takes time but it will all make sense as you go along.

Yeah I will be honest, I didn't catch half of that lol. But I shall get a hammer head and shoot stuff for you guys:) plus technically you could load people into it and drop them on a planet to go shoot peeps? It says a max crew of 9, but, can you have more than 9 in it temporarily to stop off like strike teams and such? With how the turrets are placed, even landed while you get the troops out, still would have a lot of fire power

How do you "melt" current ship into credits so I can buy the hammer head? Also, my hornet comes with the game, does the hammer head not? Saw that it comes with an lti and that's it. While the ghost hornet I got came with the game, credits, uec, 6 months insurance, etc etc. Noticed the hammer head only has the lti.

hammer head is not a game package. you will need to get a new game package there is a trick somewhere in the forums to get SQ42 and SC for 15 usd each. Try to find it and do that later it requires you to have at least 75 usd to do it. also the credits dont matter ignore them 6 month insurance sucks to you can get lti with almost any ship lti is life time insurance. google up on how to use CCUs properly when you get a chance i think the noobifier had a really good one out there to help teach you.

Good idea. I only have the redeemer though. Gonna have to spring 400 bucks lol

You have a Redeemer and a Hornet Ghost. Melt both, than you only have to spring 275 Bucks. You can't fly 24 hours. After 24 hours, melt the Hammerhead and buy back the Ghost. Is the Ghost Package CCUd? You also could consider buying a LTI Hawk with credits and CCU that to a Ghost. You still must buy back your 6 months package. If the 6 months package is a Mustang or Aurora, than it will cost you 60 Bucks.
Best to buy and melt every day a Hawk with credits, so you have a few LTI tokens in buy back.

Guessing noob has a YouTube channel? Kinda sucks you can dump 600 bucks and not get the game with it:p but the lti is nice. Once I figure put how to magically liquidate my redeemer, I may pick up the hammer head:)
