Dillema 890J or HULL-E

[CaptainRichard]

I would keep the 890J. Plus, it comes with the 85X runabout, making it two ships in one. BALLER

 

[maynard]

Both... 890J escorts the E... aka make your enevitable death by GRIEFERS as expensive as possible, in true TEST style!

FTFY

Hold off melting until all the new HULL info and questions are answered !

Did the Hull E just become a ship carrier killing machine?.... very informative q&a

 

[Eliyahu]

So, my Hull E can have an escort fighter in exchange for a cargo slot, awesome!

My dream of a gun boat is confirmed! Everyone must sell all but one of their Aurora's and purchase a Hull E for creating silly sized armadas in space!

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

I expect most ships launched from a pod/crate/pad better not get disabled or else they won't be able to get patched up like they could on a true carrier

TEST Aurora mother ship confirmed (maybe)

Baller status > cargo.

Plus the 890 is going to be harder to get in game from what they said, think of buying a Ferrari, it takes time and much money

 

[AntiSqueaker]

I say 890. Probably a lot harder to get inside the PU, and is more flexible than "I haul cargo from point A to point B".

 

[Desterion]

I can't believe they were taking the hull E carrier thread seriously...

Still, cheaper to buy a Ferrari than a supertanker.

 

[Annitias]

@WarrenPeace Not so sure. I can find used tankers for less than 10m but some Ferraris run more than that

 

[ROBINSON]

It's extremely hard to say how things will play out. On one hand people will reasonably suggest we shouldn't have too many Hull-E's due to logistics as the see the support required to be too great but then others will look at a decent fighting force protecting an Hull-E could protect more than one.

Personally if someone is on the fence or can easily acquire a Hull-E, go for it - it will work out in the end.

 

[SPRNinja]

I actually think a fleet of hull C's would be a better trader fleet than D's or E's, easier to protect, more versatile etc, which isnt to say that D/E isnt useful

 

[ROBINSON]

I still want to know if its possible on the larger Hull's if we can land and secure a ship on the exposed cargo containers. I thinking a Uber Hull-E of doom, loaded with super hornets. :D

Ben said these are not limited sales.

Concept is 1 week, after that they are permanent addition to the store.

In general, then. I will fully concede there are used tankers that are worth less than collector's piece Ferraris.

Well that settles it! Im keeping the 890j ;)
