In theory, there wasn't any reason the Asgard couldn't have been priced around the $200 mark... Compared to the Constellation Taurus, for example, which sits at $200 in the pledge store: It carries a similar amount of cargo as the Constellation Taurus (180 to the Taurus' 174 (or 168 readily...

It looks like we get a "duplicate" CCU today - The F7C's price and savings match those of the Freelancer MIS from the 19th, so it may be of limited interest to people. I'm disappointed by the price of the Asgard, as I saw it as a larger "Cutlass Black" with the Valkyrie being a larger "Cutlass...

Well, it appears that CIG have decided to "compensate" us for the small discount offered on the day 1 CCU (Vanguard Warden) by adding an additional $5 savings onto todays CCU offering (Starfarer Gamini) compared to past times it has been available ($25 savings today, rather than the $20 savings...

With the new ship releases so far, I'm beginning to get concerned about how much the Asgard is ikely to cost. At present, we have an "LTI token", "Capitol ship", and 2 "mid-range" ($250-$400) ships. This leaves 2 likely holes for the ship to be placed into: low-range ($100-$250), and high range...

I finally got around to refreshing my chains: I was surprised that I could use 2 of the Vanguard Warden CCU's (one mid-chain, one as an endpoint). With how many A1-> "concept" San.tok CCU's I have spare, it's tempting to get extras of this one, even though it's only a 50% savings CCU... If you...

Looked at Cynically, it's likely the saving is so low because this is the closest price they can use in order to make the CCU cost more than $5, as there are ships to start the CCU from at $240, $235, $230, $225, $220. Otherwise they'd have to drop it to $220 in order to avoid the $5 CCU, which...

For those with an interest in the BIS rewards (paints and posters again this year, from memory), here is a way to allow you to acquire the relevent ships at a small discount, using only "store credit". This table only includes packs where all included ships are eligible for upgrades to a BIS...

Most new ship releases and concepts get 4 weeks (or more) on sale (as do the packs and Warbond CCU's that are part of the "launch" sale, if any) before being removed from the store. The fellowship of the monocle gives an extra 1 week on top of that. The SRV, which was released to Flyable at last...

I'm guessing that the Polaris CCU will be in the store, along with the ship itself, for the standard 4-ish weeks that CIG allow for any newly released ship/concept. I also believe that the Perseus (Along with the Drake Ironclad(s?) and RSI Apollo) were shown in the Citizencon presentation as...

Here's a post (https://testsquadron.com/threads/the-making-of-an-lti-polaris-iae-2953.20689/) about building a chain for a Polaris at last year's IAE (It ended up at $420, saving 44% on the normal price for the ship at that time), where I took what was available at the beginning of the event and...

The easiest way to put together a chain is to use https://ccugame.app linked to your RSI account. You can "create" a chain from your preferred source ship to the target, then refresh the chain every time a new WB CCU is on sale, to see what you need to buy to increase savings. Using my surplus...

Unless you are desperate for the loaners which the Polaris provides (Hammerhead, Vanguard Harbinger), you're probably better off waiting until closer to its release before locking in a chain (in whole or in part) and applying it, as there will be more sales with WB CCU's before the Polaris...

Looks like there's an upgrade inbound... Source: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/aegis-firebird-and-retaliator-updates/6907280
