Lets see now ..
My 2 Reliant LTIs were CCU'd for a Terrapin and a Cutlass Black.
One Hull A LTI was CCU'd to a Carrack.
The Orion is now a BMM w/LTI so I got my BMM back with LTI now. YAY! The Hull C can haul more but it cant defend itself as well as the BMM can.
Melted my Pioneer to get the Hammerhead. The Pioneer I can buy back later cuz I just had to have that Hammerhead now while it is LTI.
Bought 2 Hawks for the LTI.
One Hawk got CCU'd to a Prospector and the other CCU'd to an Endeavor.
The Connie gave her life to help me get the Telescope, Supercollider, GRP and GSP, Landing Bay and 1 set of the Biodome modules for the Endeavor. I was going to get 2 sets of Biodomes but I HAD THE DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE! lol

I was going to melt my SH and CCU my last Hull A (LTI token) to a SH but its a package with SQ 42 and 5 year insurance so it is a lot to lose and 5 year insurance is fine.

The Herald, Starfarer and the assorted X1s, the Tumbrill and Noxs plus the 890 Jump were untouched cuz nothing will make me lose my Jump.

So now I think I have this CCU thing down pat plus the ships I want for now. And with the exception of the SH, all my ships are LTI. One less thing to keep up with. Still leaves me a Hull A w/LTI for something later mebbe. The Hurricane has my interest as a replacement for the SH. Or even to compliment the SH when I need a little more firepower. Have to see how that Hurricane pans out in flight.


God it cost me plenty..... I need beer.

Lots of beer

How'd the rest of yuse fair?

Put it this way, I struggled with my debit payments before and now I'm overdrawn and I may require the assistance of "The elders" to keep me going until after Christmas.

In fact I sometimes wish I never bought my Caterpillar because asking for help to me is admitting defeat. I f**king hate having to admit defeat but I can normally subside by having a few odd jobs such as fixing a few laptops or TV's for a few quid but December is so quiet it really means I can put the tools away and relax, well, not this month. I really could use a few £10 here and £10 there jobs.

I am in cahoots with a friend right now to fix a few smartphones so I will be fine this month but honestly, I wouldn't need to if I didn't buy the damn Cat.

I love it though :blush:

It's so sleek and utilitarian, everything has a purpose, even the storage boxes are the same as in the Cutlass, it's just wonderful. :confounded:

I don't regret it. I really don't. It's mine.

I spent about 2800 USD and used up all my credits. For the most part i'm good to go but have to put off my next computer build till next year(which is probably for the best anyhow). I think black friday hurt me more than the anniversary sale lol. Why did they have to make both at the same time. I'll be good to go in a month or 2 but recovery and overtime have become a must.

I wanted a Mustang Beta with LTI, but it looks impossible unless I access the grey market, so I settled for a Beta with 60 months which should be close enough to LTI not to notice. Gotta love the Com4T back area, makes living in a Mustang down by the river seem like an adventure rather than abject poverty. Can anyone spare some government cheese?

Long story short...

I have a Hawk melted that I will buy back with real $ - hoping this is possible. Saw somewhere that limited ships melted for LTI cannot be bought back...

I now have Cutlass Black LTI and a Nox for it, upgrade to Cutlass Blue in case I decide not tto go with the Hawk or use it to LTI a 600i or something in a year, and I have a 5 year ins 315p for exploration

Trying my best not to buy land, but I see a 50$ land happening before the 11th... because beer and impuse and stupidity.

Also, had the wrong email listed in game. Full derp. I just found out now and am updating now to get into 3.0 PTU, and will join you guys in discord tomorrow night cause it's late now and by the time the game installs, i'm gonna check out my Cutlass and Nox, and pass out 2 mins later

I almost in a state of disbelief as I watch the update...
