    Happy Turkey Day!

    Out of curiosity... What is it about today that's supposed to cause Turkeys to be happy?

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    That's fair enough - The Polaris was picked for the event as it's a larger ship that is in development for release in the next 12 months. I believe it was also requested while I was doing a similar guide at Invictus earlier in the year for the Perseus. I'm always happy to take requests for...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    For long-term building of a chain, the Cutter Scout is still available with LTI for a lower price ($45, which adds $5 to the chain's overall savings), and may be a better alternative (Particularly with the use of a G12/G12r CCU, as that is due to go into development in the next 12 months, I...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    Well, if you're interested in what can be done with these CCU's, you could have a look at https://testsquadron.com/threads/the-making-of-an-lti-polaris-iae-2953.20689/ where I'm daily going through the steps to see how much the event will allow you to save on an LTI Polaris (This event makes a...

    I feel dirty right now...

    Due to the way I play, I've never had the opportunity to put together the funds for one in-game (This will likely be melted temporarily - thank you buyback tokens - To allow purchase of some other items including the Origin complete pack to enable an LTI 890 in the final fleet, should it and...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    It has certainly been an interesting event for CCU's so far, with picks that match so well, rather than being spread around and unconnected. I may end up regretting it, but I severly limited my Sabre CCU acquisitions - I figure the SRV should bounce into a similar price point, and may offer...

    Gatac Syulen first look!

    In the realm of "cheap" ships, there's (according to Erkul): RAFT 27,585 quantum fuel. Hull A 10,000 quantum fuel. C1 spirit 3,750 quantum fuel. Syulen 2,900 quantum fuel. Cutlass Black 2,500 quantum fuel. Freelancer 2,500 quantum fuel. Cutter 1,960 quantum fuel. So Syulen isn't the best in the...

    Gatac Syulen first look!

    With the high quantum fuel capacity, putting the fastest quantum drive in it would allow for the quckest possible shuttle, without having to stop part-way to refuel... Possibly could do the job in Pyro as well, provided you stay away from Xenothreat space :)

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    One consideration with regards to the Sabre WB on offer today: The Sabre is a $170 ship, with a $10 discount, taking it's price to $160. The SRV is releasing to flyable in a few days. It's current price is $150 (Below the Sabre's discount price), but will be increased on release: If it rises...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    I just wish that I'd "collected" a few more of the Prospector CCU's during the foundation festival that also had the free armor included. At the time i didn't see any need for them...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    First 2 days have given us: Sabre -> A1 Spirit -> San'Tok.Yai If this is a pattern for the event, of interlinked CCU's, I can see it being very expensive even without buying any new ships...

    The making of an LTI Polaris (IAE 2953).

    I doubt this will continue through the event, but the first 2 day's CCU's fit perfectly with the A1 "release to flyable" WB CCU's, giving a solid foundation with 7% savings for the Polaris...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    As the A1 CCU's will be available all event, I'm holding out until the final days to grab my A1 CCUs in case either of those gets a WB CCU... Otherwise it'll be a 50:50 split.

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    One note on the SAN'TOK.YĀI: If looking to CCU from permanently available ships, the Constellation Taurus is still a valid choice, albeit with certain precautions: As the Constellation Taurus is permanently available, you can buy a $5 CCU to it from the Sabe Comet (for either credits or cash)...

    PSA: Ship price increases occuring at IAE.

    Something to bear in mind with these price changes: Although CIG state they take effect on day 1 of the event, in the past they have updated the prices on the manufacturer's day. If this is the case (Which can be checked on day 1, or any day after), there is a 2 day window between when the...

    The making of an LTI Polaris (IAE 2953).

    Oh, it will fill out - I just wanted to add as much as I could now, to simplify things during the event, and not knowing what the discount CCU's for each day will be in advance (outside of BIS, for which the ships are known, but not the savings) it's not possible to provide much further detail...
