An estimated 4000 Ares sold from warbond yesterday. And countless more with credit/upgrades. That's a popular ship!
CIG raised $800,000 on first day of Ares sale
- Thread starter Esctasy

Its definitly a sexy ship, but unlike most people who throw money at CIG without thinking, i need more information before buying stuff.

I'm waiting, just so I can put it on *next* months credit card bill, ha ha. This months is already fairly large due to the anniversary sale! (don't worry, I pay my bill in full every month, but as a certified cheapskate, I hate paying large bills).

I am heavy weapons guy....and this is my weapon. She is Inferno class Ares Starfighter and firing custom tooled cartridges at rate of 1900 rounds per minute.
It costs 800,000 UEC to fire this gun....for 12 seconds.
Jeeeeeeesus. Haha, that much? FML. That makes the decision as to which to buy easier...
Both.
Oh yeah! Closest thing to an A10 yet!
Lol, I didn't even know anything about it and as soon as I saw the first picture I knew I wanted the Inferno. I was tempted by the ion but I still really like throwing slugs at things.
Ehh, I really like the idea of one big gun on the ship.
However, currently S1 to S2 to S3 to S4 to S5 to S6 to S7 makes hardly any difference in dps, and I'm a spreadsheet kinda guy, so if it doesn't look good on paper I'm going to pass.
Maybe they'll implement some mechanic later that makes larger weapons more efficient against ships, perhaps it's not straight up DPS rebalancing but something like smaller projectiles glancing and/or dealing less damage to heavier armor and/or shields. Maybe that'll fix scatterguns as well, at the moment it's as if a shotgun was the most efficient weapon against tanks.
But as long as that's just a theory, I'm gonna rescue my wallet.

I challenge you to take one more look at the sexiness that is the Ares and then see if the money doesn't just magically fly out of your wallet into Chris's hands.
I got one as well and we haven't even seen the Mole yet I am guessing another 500k easily lol.
