Wow. The HH went to $725? What was it before? I thought it was back near $400. This is the cost of a Corvette.

That's a 175$ increase. The 890 Jump has it beat as it went from 600$ to 890$ with a 290$ increase in price.
They are added back as warbonds .. so people still have chance to get some
All I can say about the idris is HOLY HELL that thing is huge. That rail gun is bigger than my freelancer.....

$550 was warbond, actual price was $625 iirc. It then jumped up to $725 once flightready. People who got it cheap got ez Polarises. I am definitely not guilty of this :3
60fps, that's a lot of pictures. Thanks!
I like it, I wish we could have toured around inside
Drake is up: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/16855-Drake-Interplanetary
Credit Krakens sold out in a minute, Warbond still up.

I guess that makes sense? Easier to justify melting and rebuying with store credit than with dropping $1400 cash on the spot? It's still very interesting that both weren't instant!
Edit: Both are gone now at 11:12 EST

What is behind the notion of them selling a specific number and no more? Just to create supply issues to keep the prices up?
Artificial scarcity.

Just like there are only about x number of aircraft carriers in the world (last I counted , the US had 11, Britain had 2, France had 2 or so, the Russians had 2, and the Chinese were building 2 or 3), there are some things that should be scarce to keep things in line with the lore and CR's vision.
Yeah, they could sell more, but then, they wouldn't be special or unique anymore.. Even the 890Jump is supposed to be a very rare ultra-luxurious yacht...
Of course, we can have a lot of fun posting on reddit that CR needs a new Mercedes, so they are going to sell 50 more Krakens...
Hi, I had an email exchange with CIG. They told me that the limitation is based on the Star Citizen lore, which is why there should be only a limited number of the more "exclusive" ships in verse.
When I look at how comparatively few Drake Kraken have been offered for sale - in my opinion much less than the Javelin, for example - then I'm interested in the historical background to the extent that I wonder why Drake advertises it when this thing can hardly be produced..? Anyway, CIG will have its reasons.
Apart from that, since last year I have hardly pushed a cent towards CIG - and now I am the proud owner of an Idris-K.
