For those with an interest in the BIS rewards (paints and posters again this year, from memory), here is a way to allow you to acquire the relevent ships at a small discount, using only "store credit". This table only includes packs where all included ships are eligible for upgrades to a BIS ship (with the exception of the Inceptor pack, where the included PTV's price is removed from the pack savings before calculating average savings). I will add any eligible Anvil packs for their new ships, should there be any, once they appear on the store.
For example, if you wanted the BIS rewards for 1 C1 and 1 Terrapin, buying the Argo Cargo pack with credits and CCU'ing the included ships to the C1 and Terrapin would save you $10 over buying the ships on their own ($335 for the ships instead of $345 they would cost on their own).
If you have the ships in your pledge store hangar at the start of BIS day (And possibly again towards the end of the event), you will be given the BIS bonuses as individual items in your pledge hangar, not linked/locked to a ship in your hangar. Once these are received, you can then upgrade the ships further, or melt the pack and use the credits to buy other ships before the event ends while retaining the paints, etc..
