Drake Corsair, Alpha 3.17.4

[Brictoria]

The price jump on it takes it "technically" above the price of a Constellation Aquila:
Corsair is now $250.
The Constellation Aquila is $310, but comes with an Ursa Rover ($50) and a P52 ($25), meaning the ship on its own would be valued at $235.

The audio for the page is entertaining.

Also, I think @Montoya may need to review one of those new paints...

Hit a 30k whilst sitting in the co-pilot seat of the corsair and now i have the 16008 error code trying to get back in. What am I missing at the event guys?

One thing to keep in mind when at IAE is that when 3.18 drops (whenever that happens) everything purchased in-game will be lost as they're doing a database reset (apparently this is needed in support of PES.) Everything listed in your hanger on the RSI site will be restored, but aUEC, ships, equipment, clothing (such as those found at the IAE Convention Center), etc. will be lost.
So that means anything you're thinking of purchasing in-game for posterity/commemoration will be lost anyways, but also means the aUEC spent is going to be reset anyways as well.

Probably the most 'important' thing to do during the event for each manufacturer's day is to get your free 48 hour rentals* for the ship(s) currently flyable and you're interested in. Other than that, it is kind of like going to an air show in real life, just walking around, listening to the announcements while checking out all the cool ships.
*-For rental ships, you can't change out any components (weapons, shields, quantum drive, etc.)
