To Buy or to Gift?

[Blind Owl]

So I'm drunk. As per.

Here's the thing. I have a $150 ship. Khartu-al/Blue/Tali base with all my CCU's. Now I keep thinking about upgrading it. But my fleet already has a Carrack/DURp/Sabre/Aurora LX, and I'm happy with that. But I LOVE buying ships. Now, I could feed my addiction, and upgrade that $150 to a mid sized ship (Redeemer, BMM, Vanguard, Caterpillar, Starfarer), spending my baby's college, food, and sports money: OR I could gift it to my brother @CrudeSasquatch, and help his journey to the 'Verse.

See, I REALLY want a Starfarer, or a Caterpillar, or a BMM, or yaadaa yaadaa yaadaa....
You get my point. But do I NEED it? I can only fly one at a time.
Anyways, you TESTicles get to help. Because I like (love) you.
And I value you.
And its fun.
And stuff.
And I'm drunk.

I suggest we trade accounts. Just until people start playing SWTOR again

Sorry, man. But, I make this decision all the time. And I don't have anyone I could get into the game, otherwise I would still have an Aurora and an Omega. My current Buy Back list is longer than my in hangar list (and that's including my unmeltable Flair items), so I feel your pain.

But I play SWTOR. Wait, is that your point? Feed me beer. MOAR.

So what do you decide? Drunken adventure with your best friend that will cost you nothing more? -or- Being selfish, spending more money irresponsibly, and having ALL the ships?
Its SHOULD be an easy choice. But it isn't.

From what i understand you should be able to trade ships in the verse and that will sometimes include lti as well. So do a bit more research on it, then maybe thatll make decision easier.

Alternatively, Im sure we still have plenty of sales to happen as well as at least one birthday and a gamut of gifting holidays.

 

[Soven Taliesyn]

Just think of it this way. Just make sure you're not going to regret your decision.

On that note: I don't regret asking for freebies and handouts. :D

 

[Blind Owl]

Wow. Split vote. People are actually taking this seriously. It must be a weekday. Y'all ain't drunk enough.

He didn't even ask. I'm just drunk and feeling generous. NO RAGRETS.

You can always steal his ship in game.

Have I mentioned I love you Cosmic? You're a goddamned rocket surgeon.
"Hey brother, remember that time you did all that stuff that pissed me off for the last 33 years? Yeah, well pew pew fucker!!"
Of course, he's infinitely smarter than me, and probably a better pilot, so I'll probably have more luck giving him a rigged ship. Or just being nice. Dammit I hate being nice.

 

[Hadron Xon]

Just window shop the rest if you have the ships you want, I have a feeling ships will be very easy to attain in the verse.

Always glad to help a fellow TESTie. Love you too friend.

Shucks, you're making me blush all black and yellow. Or is that the beer? ;)

I thought the asking was implied.....haha.

You could buy something and donate it to TEST for a raffle or you could just spend it all on beer in true TEST fashion. Seems to me like you might be running low about now. #noragrets you might regret running out.

Managed to make it to about 430am without running out. Thank God we're good at beeronomics. We can TESTimate to within a few hundred beers how much we'll need for an evening out geeking out and drunken flying. Or an evening of drinking and attempting to geek out. ;)

The true answer is to gift them all to Montoya. If you don't, you're literally supporting the Vanduul and their alcohol prohibition.

 

[thanatos73]

And always remember, this is just the starting line up. This will give you something to work towards in game........ :)

Ha. Great and Wise Montoya knows that more ships in the hands of Canadians is always a good thing. Who was there for you during prohibition? Who provided you the life giving nectar of awesome? Who was it sneaking across the border to ensure your continued inebriation?

Yeah, that was us. So I think the choice is obvious. The Cutty Blue must go to a person who shall use it for the drunkeness of all TESTies. The person who shall run glorious liquor and space weed to all corners of the universe.

 

[CrudeSasquatch]

My plan has always been to crash into your Carrier and then kill the pilot, then fly the ship into the sun. If you GIVE me a ship... well hopefully it respawns
