Yeah you'd need to buy a cheaper ship for real $, ideally with LTI, chain it up to the Polaris, and then sell the LTI CCU-ed Polaris. Doable, but likely you'd rather not bother and just melt for credit.

Mmmm, not sure that's *entirely* true. Back in ~2019 You could have bought say, a $90 CCU from the BMM (was $350 back then) to a $440 Prowler, and if you did wouldn't it still be 'applicable?' Now you'd have had to have spent that $90 in cash on it for it to be giftable, and even in anyone did...

Same! Doing the Phase 3 Idris fight even with a super-skeleton crew of just 3, was SUPER fun! Took ALL of the torps and still needed help to finish it off, but I still feel like *we* won the overall engagement. Today I got to playing some Ship Tetris and I'm very happy to report that I came up...

Yeah, I upvoted some of those comments, this whole Redeemer -> Paladin thing feels truly underhanded, and I'm glad they're getting called out on it!

Well, I managed to keep my spending down to $50 total this year for a few WB CCUs, but pairing those with some existing ones and a LOT of other CCU melting/swapping, I've got things pretty well situated now and I only need $100 for some old LTI buyback tokens to make the full fleet look like...

Well you're supposed to considering they just nerfed the FUCK out of the 'Deemer. Dropped from S3 to S2 shields, S5 down to S4 gatlings on the turrets. I *would* have liked the Paladin were it brought in as an 'equivalent' competitor to the Redeemer but this seems awfully heavy-handed...

Fo sho! Fortunately, the kegerator is just around the corner, so was refilled promptly after the picture was taken!

Well still waiting on the new Monstertech slider in order to mount my HOTAS, but other than that and a bit more cable-tidy-ing it's in!

Naw, HOTAS absolutely has its place/advantages. All things being equal, I slightly prefer HOSAS when in a small, nimble fighter and HOTAS in larger ships, but honestly if I could only chose one, I'd keep the throttle for sure, for several reasons. Primarily, I find it MUCH more immersive with...

Not from me! But only because I already have my Polaris, Phoenix, and Zeus MR, and plenty of credit to revive my Galaxy whenever it's ready to make its debut! Oh, and sign me up for Torp duty when get the the Polarii out! I think we should have a Polaris vs. Polaris shootout where we loose all...

@Raven_King : While I love it, this one's not going in corner this time! @Cugino83 : For perspective, is that the 74" or 98" length top? Thanks again all!

I'm not really sure, more just interested to see what new pops up and/or goes on sale during IAE!

Based on my experience with the Zeus ES *so far,* it fits the general CIG progress where it's a much NICER ship (being newer) and perhaps a slightly more capable ship too, but you'll NEVER get that Drake 'bang-for-your-buck' that you do on the Cutlass. . . Not sure if that helps or not.

I may indeed go that route, but first step will indeed be to find a good local source!

So I did a thing; with IAE coming up I decided I was sitting on way too many CCUs cluttering up my hangar, so I finally decided to pull the trigger and apply some of them. I'm now committed to keeping the Phoenix and F7A - now with LTI! - in my fleet for good! P-72 and Cyclone may needed to be...
