    Post IAE 2953 fleet changes

    Well, I briefly had it down to $205, but 'lost' $5 with the SH price bump, so at that point I said screw it, beating the original concept price by $40 is 'good enough,' plus the number of CCUs in my hangar was staring to get a bit unwieldy, so I went ahead and applied my full STV -> BMM chain...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    Yep, I see no strong reason to at the moment. I think part of the issue is that ALL medium fighters are kinda poorly positioned currently, with both light and heavy fighters tending to be 'better' options. I suspect that might change with either Master Modes and/or proper armor implementation...

    Long term hangar question, looking for opinions.

    If we're sticking with the bounty hunting mantra, then I'd say maybe consider the Scorpius Antares as a medium-heavy fighter that fits that type of gameplay better than the Sabre. On the lighter side there's also both the EMP and prisoner versions of the Avenger to consider. . .

    Post IAE 2953 fleet changes

    I think I only spent $15-$20 on new WB CCUs this year, with most of my IAE activity having been spent on rolling a good chunk of credit through a bunch of new standalone ships. Buyback locker is starting to fill out nicely!

    I have WON Star Citizen ! ! !

    I'm still confused as to how it's possible to have a NEGATIVE pledge amount; some sort of coupon I guess then coupled with $0 CCUs? And @Doyzer, buddy, I think it might be time to melt some of those. . . XD

    Arrastra QnA open on Spectrum

    I'm of the rather optimistic opinion that the Arrastra will be MORE easily wielded by a smaller crew, sort of an 'upgraded Mole,' and less of an unwieldy 'Capital' ship that the Orion will invariably end up as.

    I flew something I shouldn't have.

    Ooh, this discussion suddenly got more fun, so I'm chiming in! I'm rather firmly on Team-Lightning for the P-38 being the 'best' fighter of the era, which in addition to @Shadow Reaper 's point about the nose guns having no parallax, it ALSO sported that deliciously destructive 20mm cannon...

    Ship Speculations!

    Yep, that's where I'm at these days. Guess I should have specified that all my PREVIOUS CCU-chain-gaming has already netted me my favorite 'keeper' ships, with the Vanguard, Redeemer, 600iE, Carrack, Merchantman, Polaris, and - the most expensive ship in my fleet - Phoenix already in my hangar...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    FWIW looks like today it's Polaris, Merchantman, Orion, and 350R.

    Ship Speculations!

    So I focused less on collecting more Warbond CCUs this year (as I think I have plenty for my needs already), and instead have been rolling through my credit daily to get some standalone IAE-insured ships in the Buyback log. So far I've made it through: - Galaxy - Hull B - Liberator -...

    Carrack

    Certainly I've noticed, and what's more, unless I'm horribly mis-remembering, the Carrack even HAS the 'snappable' cargo grids to allow you to rearrange/secure any cargo boxes that 'magically' appear in there when you order them from a station, just no way to actually get them in or out!

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    Well actually, The A1 was TOO big of a jump to fit into my existing chain (due to a very profitable old Vulture CCU), so a Vulture-Taurus was actually just what I needed to shave of an extra $10 today!

    looks like i now own a Polaris

    @Thugari , so here's my pitch: I'll help crew your Polaris until we crash it, and then instead of waiting on the claim time, you then help me crew MY Polaris. And by the time we crash IT, yours should be back and ready to go again! Deal?

    Omni Sticks or Standard Sticks

    Ok, @Southern_Cross_07 here is your DEFINITIVE answer, based on ONE question you need to ask yourself, which is: Do you want roll on the twist-axis of the dominant hand or your off-hand stick? No matter what straight stick for dominant hand Roll on dominant stick => Omnithrottle (or HOTAS...

    Need help on choice of CPU

    Without making the decision for you I'd break down the key perks of each thusly: i14900k - fastest single core speeds 7950x3d - most cores/threads 7800x3d - most efficient, in terms of both dollars and watts for the performance. I guess I'd probably vote this one 'all around,' unless you have a...

    Melting your ship - What should you know/expect? You wont get what its worth as sold by CIG.

    So in summary, on the baseline assumption that you do not want this HH anymore, here's your options: 1.) Since bought with real $ should be giftable. When it's NOT available in the store you can probably sell this on the grey market for close to its full value, and pocket the cash. For...

    IAE 2953 WB CCU watch

    The obvious move here is grab a Sabre (better availability) -> A1 -> Santok CCUs. That's $10 cash that jumps you $50, from the $170 Sabre to the $220 Santok.
