So, I just learned that there was indeed a sale on the Idris-P between the 23rd-24th in 3 limited waves. *sighs* I wish they'd had the waves last the entire event, even if in 3 waves per day & with limiting accounts to only 1 per account with them being non-transferable. I genuinely hate F5 battles, because I'm quite possibly the worst / least successful at them. LoL I'd happily melt enough of my fleet in order to get 1. TBH, what I want is an Idris-M with the energy weapons of the P, that way it'll have the unlimited ammo as well as the extra armor of the M version. *shrugs* I guess I'll be melting some ships mid May, to prepare for the Idris fight, praying that I won't regret doing so afterwards if I fail again.

Little advice on how I got mine.
I put into the search bar 'Idris'. I then repeatedly pressed f5 just before the stroke of 4pm (my time) The moment I saw it there I added to basket and pretty much left it as I knew I would miss that wave.
I added the store funds then went about my day. Just before the stroke of midnight, I would click purchase then scroll down and click accept all in a half a second. I repeated it until the page took longer to refresh and then I knew it was in the purchase mode. And there we go, that's how I got my Idris and my Kraken.

You can get yours. It will mean I have to find myself another pilot but worth it to get another Testy in their captains chair :o7:

Awesome, thanks for the tactic my friend.

Though, even if I have 1 of my own, I'm sure that I'll be helping others with theirs far more than mine gets used. After all, without paying for an expedited fee (which will most likely be huge), having a friend with a backup can help keep the crew in the fight longer & more often when needed. With most orgs, if you take out any of their Cap ships, they are stuck behind the 8 ball for a while, as they have to wait for their lost ship to be repaired / replaced. However, this is TEST Squadron, if 1 or even a few of the Cap ships of our members get taken out in an operation, we still have plenty more. Cheers!

Hell yea my guy. It's going to be amazing. I cant wait. I dont even care if I end up just standing on my own bridge silent whilst the gunners coordinate amongst themselves to take down the targets. It will be glorious to witness.

I hope at some point they give us the ability to name our ships and throw in a captains uniform.

I'll be happy even running around helping clean things up on my own ship. LoL Killing a group of invading bandits that pay no attention to me because they think I'm just a pathetic janitor makes me lol.

As for naming our own ship, that's already a thing for a handful of ships & eventually will be for all ships. Case in point:

SC - Carrack Named 03-08-2021.PNG

They are extending the ship naming to all ships? Man I gotta start thinking up some good names for my fleet.
My 600i EX is called Space Mouse and my MSR is The Breaker Of Chains but I melted my Carrack called Silver Arrow for an Arrastra. Might call my Odyssey "looks a bit like Robocop" 🤣

I'm sure that somebody, at some point, probably quickly, will name their Odyssey as Odysseus, as in the king of Ithaca & main hero of the famous novel by Homer called The Odyssey.

I have no idea what I'll be naming my 600i Ex when I eventually achieve that goal. Though I have no doubt that I'll have put a lot of thought into it before then.
