Good idea. I have about four various LTI Auroras to CCU later on, but I'm hanging onto at least one LN model so Montoya doesn't duct tape me to a torpedo and launch me into the nearest star. ;)

Guys I need your advice. I am thinking about getting rid of my Retaliator for a Banu Merchantman, but I already have a Constellation, so I am not sure if it makes sense.....#juststarcitizenthings

I'll spare you the "why not both" meme, but try to prioritize your goals in Star Citizen. If you want a devoted trader, stick with the Merchantman (which will probably earn you a lot more money to start off with). The one "practical" use for the Retaliator, so far as I see it, is re-building it to be the heavy bomber it always was. So, commerce vs. combat.

Ostensibly, it might also be better equipped for long distance travel or jumps, as well as higher survivability. Speculation of course.

@TypeO: I agree with WarrenPeace, probably prioritize. One thing to consider is that, unless you have a Phoenix or it's LTI, you may want to melt the Connie for an MM as it's only available for a week.

A big old blast from a Starfarer Anniversary followed up by a few point shots from Advocacy Tools, UEE Environment Coat and Shut Up And Take My Money paint scheme has decimated my wallet and left it a smoking ruin.

But...there's still enough left for a 4-pack of Stella.

Cos cops? and bounties may be better if delivered alive rather than dead.

Ofc if the opportunity arises there's nothing like an old fashioned projectile slug thrower. (yes, Firefly fan here)

Retaliator.

Hopefully it's money well spent... now I'm going to buy some racing suit and a pistol like everyone here.

... thanks for that ...

I didn;t get the suit or gun.
But I did go from a 40 meter, 5-man gunship to a 70 meter, 8-man torpedo bomber.

My Hornet, an M50 CCU, and all my Auroras got turned into slag to go towards the Starfarer I've wanted from the beginning as well as a MM. I really want a Retaliator (so pretty!!!), and the MM doesn't excite me, but I think it will be a good profit maker and hopefully I can earn a Tali right away in PU.



I just realized the sheer hypocritical idiocy of trying to make responsible purchasing decisions when we're talking about spending money on internet spaceships. **sigh**

Well I held out, only upgrading my M50 from 6month insurance to 2year insurance by melting and rebuying. But as was foretold in Lord of the Rings, the hearts of men are week, and so I barely contained my erection as I made my purchases before they left the store...


I'll be surprised if I don't get a fraud alert call for this one...
