Yep, same here, though I DID melt with the intention of re-buying during IAE and submitted a ticket about it, but I think they just had too many requests to handle individually and ended up 'updating' every melted version to the IAE version. Here's the wording from their reply to my ticket that...

How about an 85x? Cheap upgrade and still seats 2 and can be spawned on a ground pad!

Naw, fusion is just too damn hard not just to contain, but more importantly to MAINTAIN anything remotely close to 'stability,' and THEN try to efficiently convert/extract any usable energy from it. Fission, on the other hand, has well-proven effective methods for all of these challenges. If...

This is TEST, so. . . 1.) Open tap 2.) Fill glass with BEER! 3.) Enjoy!

I'm noticing a LOT of the Carrack/Polaris/BMM trios in larger fleets, lol! Also I think it's funny how that Kraken isn't *really* much bigger than the BMM anymore!

@NomadicHavoc In THEORY yes, something like that, though this is not yet implemented nor detailed by CIG. That said I DO have an extra game starter package in my hanger, just in case they make good on their word, as I think it would be a fun mechanic! So far I've assumed 'both' would have...

Of course! Truth be told Zeuses are just there right now to lock in concept pricing and will be melted shortly in order to get the Lightning back. My main interests tend to be exploration and combat, so I'm waiting for bounty hunting gameplay to make an appearance first to see if I like it...

You guys do realize that there's a button which automatically just plops in every ship that's currently in your hangar (sans loaners), right? Helps with leaving something out accidentally! And lol, my most expensive ship is that Phoenix!

Use the CCU Game app during the sales (IAE, Invictus, Alien Week, etc.); it helps you plan things, but basically yeah you're trying to get whatever upgrades are on sale for the lowest amount of real cash, usually $5-10, and then after a while you can 'chain' these discounted upgrades together to...

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...

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...

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. . .

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'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

Da fuck?...

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.

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...

You bet; I already AM!!! :thump:

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...

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