This IAE has been good to me.
It is my first IAE, and originally i planned a Warbond Kraken, but took a Warbond Idris-K instead. And I thought it would be the only thing i would get in the end, remembering the past Invictus sale, and the lag fest... So i had very low hopes on getting something with my 4k credit budget.
I am glad they introduced some changes this IAE to prevent spam bots. Really thank you CIG
Basically at some point during Aegis wave (i think?) they did some url redirections on all urls from pledge store for standalone ships, including the one with filters. So every one was forced to do it on the IAE page, and to expand the Manufacturer page there to get the capitals in cart.
CNOU waves : impossible to get anything. Lag as usual when wave timer hit 0.
Aegis first 2 waves : i got huge lag first wave
, 2nd wave I did it all wrong keeping a Javelin in cart from 1st wave, purchase did not go through
, bought the Idris-K, and 3rd wave bought finally the Jav from the IAE page, since i had then learnt of the url redirections.
MISC 1st wave : getting a credit Hull-E was no problem from IAE page.
Drake 1st wave : i could get a credit Kraken from IAE page.
Every thing but the K is/will be melted. I melted the Javelin already to get the Endeavor + Hull-E + Kraken, and i will melt those too to get more stuff in hangar to try out this winter. I will slowly get those capitals back next year when i get back some tokens and melt the ship i'm going to try. I will be missing a few hundreds credits, but the E is going to stay in buybacks as i already have one CCUed.
In short, good IAE, it went well above my hopes
I had a fair chance this time. In your face bots !!!
Sharing my joy
Edit : oh and 890 jump, on Origin 1st wave. Going to try it this december, no time to play the game during free fly. His fate is to be melted anyway ;)
