They're also bringing in new skins for select ships that will be swappable. So those for the Auroras will start to work again & there will be more for other ships as well.
Anyone who says that CIG is grubbing money never really looked into how awkward they make the buying experience.
I took the free fly ship list, and added links to the ship pages in the pledge store....

I'll be updating this thread's first post every day of the sale if there is something new out. Look there for all the links.
I must admit I like the thought of the G12a but I wish it had a turret instead of just 8 missiles. Which makes the G12 more attractive with its turret.

I do wonder if they'll sell stuff outside of the free fly list like more variants/etc, but I guess we'll see tomorrow. I don't need more ships anyway.
So what time can I log in, fly over there and get my 30k? lol, no seriously what time does it usually start?
Here's a program for all of the Free Fly ships that I made to acquaint myself with their features and prices.
A sample...
Enjoy!

Events often start around noon Pacific time for the US West coast since that is where the main HQ is located. Sometimes they manage to start it early though.
Thinking the same. Unless maybe if the G12a has a hidden stockpile of missiles in its trunk for reloading, instead of carrying 2 SCU of other cargo.
I think the 2 SCU of the G12 is used to hold the reload of 4 more missiles as the rack only holds 4 as seen by the concept artwork. The extra armor is a nice addition but not sure the missiles would be any benefit as it would be more useful as an antipersonnel then a anti-ship.
There's a lot of stuff I'd have done differently... namely using a different source for the hardpoints than the RSI website.
I got a lot of (well deserved, I suppose) shit for some errors in the document on reddit. I think I'm just going to go hog-wild and revamp it once I get the motivation.
Someone on the discord mentioned that it needs TEST logos all over it. Maybe once I've had it vetted by the braintrust I'll do that too.
