Ship sale - Mercury Star Runner (Aug 23)

[Montoya]

Looks like its up!

The Mercury's proclivity to data running, its built-in onboard encryption protocal, and any number of home-brewed booby traps, make successful extraction and seizure difficult by design.

Oh cool.

Looks like I picked the worst time to get attached to my cane :smile:

Edit: RIP not VIP </3

 

[Ploeperpengel]

"Access denied" how dull. Even though I have centurion access this month. What does it take to be considered VIP enough to view this and why? What's the point of keeping the majority of citizens from buying pixel ships? This is just plain stupid and why Douglas Adams was right to shoot any and all marketing poeple into the sun. (I'm working in a marketing company btw. just not as a marketing guy - I'd sooner kill myself than start talking like they do...)

I found them near the Terra-Hadrian jump point 0.0800000 lat -8.00000000 long 180.00000000 look for the "Belligerent duck"

I can confirm this. If you report this information to the UEE Advocacy, you will receive:

Is it Concierge only?

You are not special enough to spend your money today!

 

[Talonsbane]

Fair warning, it will not let you post the same location again to tip off the smugglers as well as the UEE Advocacy.

 

[Thalstan]

no, I was getting it earlier as well.

Btw, anyone try alerting Mas and Alex instead of the UEE? I wonder if it might be a different skin

No it isn't and probably won't. Is there any interesting package to buy? I was actually more interested in a possible CI Pack that might include the Pioneer than just another Datarunner because I already have a herald.

Edit: just now struck me CI != CO

Must be Concierge only. The sale opens for everybody else tomorrow.

Yeah seems that way. Well as long as they can affort to be that picky about who is allowed to throw money at them there might be a chance developement is well funded for the time being. They should fire some marketing guys though just to make sure.
