Not surprised, it's basically doubled in ship you get. I know some Constellation owners were grumbling on RSI (big surprise there, amirite) about the price:size disparity.

300 dollarydoos sounds about right in comparison to the Orion and Reclaimer.

If anyone has some old Starfarer or Other Ship -> Starfarer CCUs, or ones they can remelt, you can probably make a bit of spare cash selling em off. 40 bucks for a Super Hornet -> Starfarer CCU (original price: 25 bucks) is a lot better than paying 300 buckaroos for it.

EDIT: Only wonder what other ships are going to be getting this treatment. Caterpillar has gotten noticeably bigger, BMM has always been hella underpriced for its size.

I mentioned this in another post and it was discovered that the Gemini is still listed as $240. So I hope this is false. Who knows what Gemini would be if this is true.

I think I will be holding on to my 3ry anniversary Starfarer a little longer...

I had bought it with store credits so I could look at it and run around, planed to melt it soon as the Blue Collar indy package came back on sale (maybe CIG will screw up and reoffer that package at 1200 again :D


*edit Makes me wonder if I should not upgrade one of my Blades into a BMM before they up the price in the future

I've suspected this would happen ever since the Starfarer reveal video, in which they said something along the lines of 'the original concept backers got a VERY good deal on this', which, to me, indicated future backers wouldn't get quite as good a deal. Also, the fact that it's quite a lot of ship for that original price point.

If this idea holds steady for future ships then my Banu MM just became MUCH more valuable.
/me prays for doubled size and 500 dollar price tag for newbs

is that a jump-capable flying fortress-monastery? Yes, yes it is.

Nah, I'm thinking 600 probably. With the amount of cargo it can carry inside as opposed to open space combined with the many floors it probably has. 600 is my bet.

Horse shit. Thanks for the kick in the balls CIG, to those of us who couldn't afford the ship last time around. Now we still can't.
Or those of us who never had a chance to buy one!

Perhaps when the Khartu-al goes back on sale it'll be $250 and I can CCU with relative ease? Lol, nah, the Scout isn't worth the $150 I paid *sobs*

Herald is a really cheap ship for what you receive... I would keep an eye on it too. I have mine almost secured......

Wow. Very, very glad I picked up my Starfarer-G beforehand. I mean, I understand why they did it, but still... it has a bad feel to it.

Real bad feel. Lesson learned I reckon. Guess we can't win them all. Little upsetting though, she's a damn beauty.
