IAE 2952 WB CCU watch
- Thread starter FZD
- Start date
I started out using their table, but went through and confirmed the status of the permanent ships when I grabbed it (I have an Excel version of the table which I update as new relevent details change - new ships\price changes).
Sadly, even CCU game doesn't seem to be accurate, either - The Hull A, Centurion, MULE and STV all have remained for sale past their "release" window, and appear to be permanents in the store (Some even have their Concierge "release" paints still available to purchase in the store months after they were released).
Eclipse at $280 - I'd been hoping for Reclaimer.
Reclaimer hasn't had a price change, either, which is nice.

If anyone got the caterpillar CCU from Eclipse, they sure got lucky there. Stuff like this is probably why they decided not to bring every WB CCU offer back at finale, this lineup is starting to look a bit too optimal compared to previous years.
My CCU's to date are below. I'm anticipating the Galaxy being expensive so I'm slowly filling in blanks.
The Terrapin to Corsair was this event. The Hurricane to Corsair was a non-warbond CCU sitting in my hangar.

Looking great there! Let's hope we see warbonds in the $100 to $220 as well this IAE, should usually be at least a couple.
IAE is going to bankrupt me! I've easily spent $600 cash on WBs.
I have spent $1600 credit everyday so far adding Buybacks
AND according to WB UCCD chain I have spend $375 on a 600i EXP.
Also every time I log into the game, THE GAME kills me whenever I try to leave New Babbage!!!
I have spent over 2 million in game credits on ship parts and weapons because everything I want is in the showrooms!!!
I want to be mad but this is most fun I have had in weeks.
AAAAAAAANNNNDa This NPC had me thinking something really cool was happening when I got off the elevator, because what the hell.

I collected several starfarer - caterpillar ones as I had a few MSR - Starfarers from earlier in the year (around time of Expanse concept sale, I think)... BIS MSR CCU's should play nicely with those.
Retaliator and Vanguard to eclipse are both good if you picked up the CCU's for them at Invictus, too (Which, coincidentally, were 2 of the 3 I passed on there).

BMM today. It's so special, there's 3 options available: The Warbond Edition, or the Standard edition, or the Standard edition again.
Cool stuff. (So that's probably a bug? Edit: Yeah, it went away when I refreshed the site)

They increased the BMM price by $50 too.
The standard (non-warbond) price of the Banu Merchantman increased from $600 to $650!
Warbond BMM is now $600, was previously $550.
Great news for those of us with a BMM ship or BMM CCUs in our hangars, not so great for anyone who wants a BMM but didn't buy one yet.
What a mixed signal to send right after the devs discussed their dilemma about whether to continue work on it or put it on hold in favour of some other ships that might add more playability to the game - see the most recent ISC here, starting around 49:00:

I had similar thoughts, unless sales on the BMM are one of the factors they're using in considering whether to continue to develop it or move it back to the backlog?
I CCUed my extra BMM to an Orion when it was at 550. Then I decided to turn my Redeemer into a Polaris so bought a M2 (520) -> BMM (550 at the time) CCU for $30. So far that $30 has saved me $100.
Kind of worried the next price hike will put the BMM at $750 (next Alien week). Probably going to finish the chain with store credits if there aren't good warbonds by the time IAE is over. I'm expecting the RSI Galaxy warbond to not work with the BMM now that it's at 650. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Wouldn’t that be nice? Seems unlikely though. I’m inclined to take John Crewe’s comments at face value, that the decision will be based on whether they decide (not really considering what backers would want) that the time they would still have to spend in finishing up the BMM for release, and presumably waiting for the supporting gameplay features to be ready, would be better spent now on making other ships. They could work on other things while the gameplay for trading and shops is developed further, and the return to the BMM when they have more of a chance of finishing it in one shot and being ready to release it complete with that gameplay.
The BMM is - and has long been - the ship I am most looking forward to. But disappointing though it is, I do see why they might have a good reason to pause work on it for a bit.

Is it just me or does the RSI website say you can upgrade to the medical Pisces with a warbond offer but then its not possible?
C8R is supposed to have a warbond CCU, but it isn't showing yet... I'm hoping it comes with LTI like the Nomad did a few years back - Before I started playing :(
Edit: And just like that it started working - $60 plus 120 months insurance.
