Weird thing for me is I got 2 emails, the first was as follows
October 19, 2018



Congratulations. You have been selected for of our exclusive Kraken premier event. Due to an overwhelming number of applicants, an extremely limited hull supply, and the importance of game balance in the universe, availability is at a premium. Kraken pledges are limited to one per person.

This is no simple ship, it's a game changer. It's not for everyone. To captain a Kraken is to captain the future itself. But you have the rare chance to prove you're up to the task. That you will use this formidable dreadnought as a positive force to secure a brighter tomorrow for us all. Ship Q&A will be posted before the end of the promotion.

Your wave begins . It continues through October 31st at 06:59am UTC. Pledging options are first-come-first-serve, so if you want to captain the helm of a bold and hopeful future, get in now.

Respectfully,

Drake Interplanetary

Then the second came 50 minutes later and assigned me to wave 7, I had gotten so excited when it said my wave begins but then got noped hard.

@Sirus7264 , I'm in a similar predicament but Wave 6. I'm curious to know if the non-Warbond edition comes with LTI or not. I know that might seem stupid, but since I'm pretty evenly torn between melting to get it vs keeping my fleet as is, the LTI factor is the deciding factor at this point.

It comes with LTI i feel it was worth the melt but i really regret losing my pioneer over it the Polaris i can always earn in game over time so not badly hurt by that. I was not about to sell off my special eddition phoenix or nameable 600I. My thoughts are in the next year i can always buy my ships back when i have the money laying around. Just renovation, New Car, and everything else going on i can't spare 1400 for it but don't want to lose my shot to it's to bad it doesn't have any special skins or anything.

I understand completely. I currently live on a very limited & fixed budget. The only way that I'll be able to obtain the Kraken is to use my current credits as well as to melt my dual 600i bundle as well as my Warbond Eclipse. I also agree that I wish that it would have a limited or special edition skin, but from what it seems, each Kraken is listed in the hanger with which wave that it was obtained during. I'm also not about to melt my Emerald Phoenix ship bundle given how much value the ships within are worth in regards to practice flying them in game. Based on the trailers for SQ42, I'm strongly believing that the key to success in that game as well as SC will revolve around being well rounded in the various forms of activities including different types of fighting. Either way, we crazy TESTies are in this together. :D We might as well start Kraken up now.

I'm starting to wonder what will be the percentage of the total number of Krakens purchased that will end up within the fleets of TEST Squadron members. Even if we only end up with around 1% of them, should we all mobilize together when the game enters full launch, that will be a seriously impressive armada flying proudly into the nearest star. I imagine the NPC insurance adjusters of the 'Verse all simultaneously realizing the cost those insurance claims will be that they will have to cover.

Only if they are fully manned as you never know what pirate guilds are going to pop up to try to steal stuff.
