If you have the CCUs still, then you can make a Redeemer, turn that into a BMM, then into a Crucible during the sale to get a $250 Crucible, lol.
The Gemini is also a good choice, but since it's $340, you can't use those CCUs you have to get it cheaper, ha.
The Crucible is looking pretty good though. It's the smallest ship with 2 Large shields, good low crew requirements, a real hangar to bring your Super Hornet around or to smuggle stolen ships, lol. It's an under-noticed ship. Plus it has drones and who doesn't like drones.
Using the same CCU discount, you couuuuld pick up a Reclaimer. Both are pretty good with pirate friends. Say we wanted to make some cash and you had the Reclaimer. We could go anywhere, blow up anyone, and then profit from the scrap and parts. Easy and done. With the Crucible, we could go somewhere, board cargo ships, repair their engines and steal the whole ship. We can even repair and rearm our own fighters. It pretty much extends the range of our fighters too thanks to refuel mechanics.
